"Old Huang, do you still have the energy to study now?" Yu Tian turned to Huang Binghua excitedly.
"I think I really can't get up." Huang Binghua smiled bitterly. After staying up all night and the excessive loss of mental particles, he did think about it, but his physical condition really did not allow him to continue.
But Yu Tian heyed twice: "I can't help you falling now, come with me!"
Yu Tian carried Huang Binghua into the room next to him and put him on the bed: "System, give me a third-level gene enhancement potion in exchange!"
[Ding, spend 5,000 demon hunting points in exchange for a perfect third-level gene enhancement potion]
Yu Tian took out the potion and said, "Old Huang, it might hurt a little."
"Here, what kind of potion is this?" Huang Binghua looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar dark blue liquid in front of him. The blue color, which was far darker than the second-order gene-enhancing potion, made him suddenly realize something: "This is the third-order gene-enhancing potion?"
"
"Yeah! So please bear with it." Yu Tian untied Huang Binghua's chest and stabbed the needle directly into the heart!
The effect of cardiac injection is absorbed the fastest, and Huang Binghua's body can return to its full strength in half an hour.
Huang Binghua felt a scorching heat flowing through his body, and then his body began to feel as hot as iron. However, the aches and pains in various parts of his body and the mental emptiness and exhaustion quickly dissipated under the constant washing of the medicinal liquid.
Half an hour later, Huang Binghua opened his eyes and moved his hands and feet in surprise: "Damn, this thing is amazing!"
He immediately checked his mental particles. What was even more surprising was that as the mental attribute value increased, the accuracy of his mental particle detection also increased a lot from the original basis. Although it is still difficult to detect microbial-level creatures, it is better than before.
A lot.
"I'm going to the laboratory now. You must tell me about this potion later."
Huang Binghua turned around and rushed to the laboratory, but Yu Tian did not follow him this time. Now that so many people have fallen, the defense of the entire camp is at its most dangerous period, and Yu Tian must keep an eye on them.
Fortunately, several of Huang Binghua's students have woken up. Although they are still not in good spirits, they can already guide others in basic care.
Lin Qingya was still busy, but her face was already very ugly and her mental state was on the verge of reaching its limit.
Yu Tian pulled Lin Qingya into a small independent room, spread the quilt and carried his woman to the bed with his own hands: "Qingya, go to sleep, I'll keep an eye on the camp."
After saying that, he kissed Lin Qingya gently on the forehead.
Lin Qingya pursed her lips at Yi Tan under the quilt and showed a delicate smile, pointing to her lips: "Not the forehead, but here."
"You are the only one who is naughty." Yu Tian bent down and hugged Lin Qingya for a kiss: "Okay, close your eyes and have a good sleep."
"Hmm." Lin Qingya huddled up under the quilt and hummed like a kitten. Yu Tian turned around and took a few steps when he heard Lin Qingya's breathing lengthened behind him. Apparently, he had already entered in just two seconds.
Deep sleep state.
"Brother Chen, where are you? Come and find me." Yu Tian pressed the intercom, and Chen Zhonghe came running quickly from a distance.
"I just took the time to inspect the surroundings. The situation is much better than we expected. There are no large mutants that can threaten us. But I discovered a strange phenomenon."
Chen Zhonghe paused and said solemnly: "I found that the mutant beasts around me seemed to be deliberately avoiding this area, especially the water source. I observed for an hour, but I hardly saw any mutant beasts coming to the river to drink water. Instead, I would rather
Walk a long way to find water from another water source a few kilometers away."
Everyone's expressions suddenly became serious. This phenomenon is absolutely abnormal. Wild animals are very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment. If they avoid it directly, it means there must be something wrong with this section of the river!
Meng Lin exclaimed: "Perhaps...the pathogen comes from the water! Most of us took a bath yesterday, and there was not enough boiling water for the dinner. Many people drank raw water from the river. Maybe it was
It was infected at that time!”
"You continue to do a good job in the camp, I'll go find Lao Huang!"
Yu Tian quickly ran to the river. He was focused on making shotguns yesterday, so he was probably the only one in the camp who didn't take a shower.
The river was still flowing quietly as if nothing had happened. The water was so clear that there was no problem or any peculiar smell.
Filling an empty bottle with a bottle of water, Yu Tian quickly walked into the laboratory.
Huang Binghua was already busy at work, and there was no surprise on his face when he heard Yu Tian's analysis.
"I have thought about the river water, and I have detected a large number of bacterial pathogens in it. Come and take a look."
Huang Binghua called Yu Tian to the front of the microscope. On the microscope was a slide that had undergone multiple Gram stains. The entire slide was a rich blue-purple color.
Yu Tian looked through the eyepiece. Under 400x magnification, there were a large number of mutant Streptococcus pneumoniae dyed blue-purple in the field of view. They were much larger than normal Streptococcus pneumoniae. The two mutant Streptococcus pneumoniae cells were connected together.
It forms gourd shapes, with a thick layer of transparent material on the outer surface, just like the clothes worn by mutated Streptococcus pneumoniae.
"These are mutated Streptococcus pneumoniae. The translucent outer layer is their capsule, which has a protective effect like armor and is also their weapon of attack. The thicker the capsule layer, the greater the pathogenicity and drug resistance.
The stronger."
"The mutated Streptococcus pneumoniae is still the original Streptococcus pneumoniae, and conventional detection methods are still effective. We could not detect it before just because its capsule layer was too thick, which caused the staining to be slower than normal. I reconstituted a high concentration
The staining solution was detected immediately.”
"There is another very important thing." Huang Binghua's eyes became solemn when he said this: "Although I have no evidence, according to the classification of nightmare virus mutation levels, the mutation of this bacteria is likely to reach the second level."
"I asked my students to do statistics. None of us who have awakened to the second level or have been injected with the second-level virus protection agent are sick. Those who have fallen down are all those who have not been injected with the second-level virus protection agent, and
Ordinary people generally develop diseases more rapidly than those who have awakened first-order evolution."
Yu Tian's face also began to look ugly.
In the past, it took several years for the mutation of microorganisms to catch up with the speed of human evolution. Now it only takes two months. Unless all humans have become second-level, there will simply not be enough protection against these various pathogenic bacteria.
body resistance.
And Streptococcus pneumoniae is definitely not a special phenomenon. Various pre-apocalyptic bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma and other pathogenic microorganisms are probably mutating in their own way. Not surprisingly, they should be almost the same or even reach the second level!
In addition to facing the endless threats of various mutants, humans now have to go to war with these microorganisms in advance. They don't know when they will encounter such unpredictable dangers again on their way forward.
[The author has something to say]
From here on, mutated pathogens will be on the stage of mutation. I feel that there are not many apocalyptic books that have written about this stuff, because it is a bit professional. Of course, what I involve is very simple, and everyone can understand what I wrote today.
Is it? Please leave a message to give feedback, and I will see if the follow-up should be shallower.
In addition, to popularize science, Gram staining is a commonly used dyeing and identification method for bacteria. The results are available in 5 minutes. The major classification of bacteria is Gram-negative and Gram-positive. Through this method, the appearance of the pathogen can be quickly identified and observed.
