Chapter 802 Genetic Matching, Humanitys Last Line of Defense!
"The second floor of the room is my activity area. Unless there is something important about your life, you can only go upstairs with my permission."
"The room has a separate bathroom and bedroom on the first floor. You will live here from today on."
"Here on the left is my exercise area. If you feel energetic, you can vent your energy here."
"Kitchen, you can cook, but if you're not sure it'll be delicious, try not to touch my seasonings and ingredients, I'm afraid of wasting it."
"By the way, hurry up and take a shower before eating. The smell is so stinky."
Entering the small bungalow on the second floor, Sumo walked back and forth, constantly introducing the facilities in the room to Zhou Xun behind him.
When he first arrived here, for the sake of caution, he lowered the comfort level to the lowest level and only maximized the concealment level.
But now that he has explored the surrounding situation, he realizes that no one can threaten him at all.
Of course, if you can live a more comfortable life, who would want to live in a narrow underground space?
"Sir, the electricity here is..."
He pointed to two refrigerators in the kitchen with compressors running slowly, as well as many unknown instruments that were plugged in and working.
Zhou Xun swallowed hard, the shock in his eyes growing.
There is no doubt that the luxury here is enough to outshine all the residences in the entire Fu'an United Territory, including the lord's mansion.
Although his space is not large, the facilities inside all represent his owner.
How noble is the identity of this mysterious man in front of him, and how terrifying is his strength.
"Electricity, I specially equipped three energy stone generator sets, which are all converted from pure natural solar energy."
"You don't have to worry about this. You can just use it when you need electricity. There's just not much fresh water. If you run out of it, you have to go to the Longlin River to find a way to get it yourself."
"I leave this job to you, is there any problem?"
"No problem, of course no problem. It is Zhou Xun's honor to serve you!"
When Zhou Xun heard that he only needed to bring some fresh water by himself, Zhou Xun quickly patted his chest and agreed to such an effortless physical task.
It was only after he finished speaking that he suddenly said: "I still don't know what to call you, sir?"
"Me? My name is Yang Jian. You can call me whatever you want. There aren't that many things between us. As long as you are willing to cooperate with my research, everything can be simplified."
"Okay, Master Yang!" Zhou Xun nodded, secretly glad for his previous choice.
In his past choices, he missed countless good opportunities.
But this time, I finally didn’t miss it.
Maybe they will still die in the future, and their death will be more painful than those who are infected with the blood epidemic and can't survive.
But before I die, I can stay in this bungalow that feels like I have returned to the earth.
As the warm bath water splashed from the nozzle and washed over his body covered in black dirt, Zhou Xun even felt a little satisfied.
"Damn, it's so worth it!"
"How many people's biggest wish before they die is to die like a human being? I have taken a shortcut."
He couldn't remember the last time he took a shower. It might have been three months ago, or it might have been five months ago.
In short, since the escape, most of the fresh water obtained has become life water for everyone, and there is no extra water for bathing.
When he arrived at the Longlin River, in order to protect himself, Zhou Xu did not dare to go into the water to wash himself clean, which was different from the surrounding refugees.
At this moment, the black mud on his body fell to the ground in clumps as soon as he rubbed it casually.
Although his shriveled stomach kept protesting, Zhou Xun still washed himself completely, then dried his body and stuck his head out from the crack in the door, reaching for the place where his clothes were put.
When he got the clothes, they felt a little strange, not like the dirty clothes he had just taken off.
He quickly took it to the bathroom, and sure enough, the dirty clothes before had now turned into a brand new set of linen clothes.
If you smell it carefully, you can even smell a faint floral fragrance.
"Mr. Yang" was just a set of clothes. Standing in the bathroom, Zhou Xun was almost moved to tears.
He gritted his teeth, put on his clothes, and suppressed the thought of running away immediately.
A scholar dies for a confidant.
As long as he is not sliced into pieces or forced to take some deadly poison.
Before that, Zhou Xun had already begun to make up his mind.
If Mr. Yang's experiment is not as inhuman as imagined, it doesn't matter if he cooperates, it can be regarded as a contribution to mankind!
"Come over and eat, don't just stand there stupidly"
"After dinner, we have to start testing quickly. If we delay for one day, the changes will be one day."
At the dinner table, Sumo had transformed into a chef and started walking out of the kitchen carrying dishes.
Four dishes and one soup.
Two meat and two vegetables may sound a bit small, but almost every Soma dish is served in a soup basin the size of a washbasin.
Four large washbasins, plus a whole pot of chicken soup, and half a bucket of white rice.
With so much food, let alone two meals a day, it would not be a problem for ordinary people to eat it for a week.
"Mr. Yang, are these our weekly allowances?" Zhou Xun walked over and swallowed hard.
Both meat dishes are pork, one is braised pork in a large pot, and the other is meat slices with wild vegetables.
The quality of this meat is very good. It is made of fine pork belly, fat and lean in pieces, and bright in color, which makes you appetite when you look at it.
Both are seasonal vegetables, and the other is a fast food with a fresh and sweet taste and extremely high vitamin content, which is the most popular among refugees.
The other is mulberry root, which has a slightly bitter taste but is good for improving eyesight and clearing the gallbladder. It is definitely a great choice when paired with meat dishes!
Plus the braised chicken soup with golden oil floating on top.
With this kind of food, even those well-established gourmets would not be able to find anything wrong with it.
"Of course not, come on, let me see where your limits are."
"As long as you can eat it, I still have plenty of food here, which is enough for you to consume!"
Confidently looking up and down Zhou Xun's body, Su Mo said with a little anticipation.
For this meal, he prepared enough for three days on weekdays. Even if he opened it to eat, it would be enough for a whole day.
Is it possible that a small person infected with the blood plague can really mutate into a rice bucket, so that one person can feed ten people?
With this thought in mind, Sumo simply sat down first and started picking up vegetables to eat.
But what is shocking is that in just over ten minutes, Zhou Xun's performance completely broke his cognition.
From the beginning, I shyly picked up vegetables and ate in small bites.
When he discovered that Somo didn't care about how he ate, he gradually turned to wolfing down his food and eating indiscriminately.
It only took ten minutes, and there was still more than half of the food in the bowl, but the half bucket of rice turned out to be
Eat it all???
"Good fellow, you are worthy of being called the Rice Bucket Maker No. 3 Blood Plague. You sit down while I steam rice and cook noodles for you!"
Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, he watched Zhou Xun pretending to hide his appetite, saying that he was already full, but his stomach still made a grumbling sound of hunger.
Sumo simply stood up, went directly to the kitchen, and started steaming rice in five rice cookers at the same time.
This time, he steamed ten kilograms of rice, enough to feed ordinary people for ten days.
Adding the previous ten pounds, he really didn't believe that Zhou Xun's appetite could be doubled dozens of times?
If it were so edible, people infected with Blood Plague No. 3 wouldn't need to take it seriously. Food alone would make them starve to death before the mutation is successful.
"I've eaten three kilograms of noodles. You can eat the vegetables first. The meal will be ready soon."
First, a basin of noodles was brought up, and Somo placed it on the table without any trace of expectation in his eyes.
Sensing his thoughts, Zhou Xun stopped pretending, just took the basin and started eating like crazy.
Often with one mouthful of meat, he could eat four or five chopsticks and noodles at the same time.
Only ten pieces of meat were left, and three kilograms of noodles were consumed.
Fortunately, the rice in the first pot happened to be steamed, filling the gap and not giving Zhou Xun a chance to hide his appetite.
Eat alone, watch alone.
From three o'clock in the afternoon, we ate until five o'clock in the afternoon.
Zhou Xu's whole body was visible to the naked eye. His belly seemed to have mutated. It suddenly stood up, with bulging veins exposed on it.
But the strange thing is that his previously pale complexion suddenly became more rosy, and he looked obviously healthier than a normal person.
"Are you full?"
"I'm really full, Mr. Yang." His stomach was so big that Zhou Xun almost couldn't stand up.
Realizing that Sumo looked suspicious, he continued to go into the kitchen to steam rice.
He could only step forward quickly and hold Somo's hand.
"Master Yang, don't worry, I'm really not hungry anymore. Even that magical power no longer sends signals of my hunger!"
"Are you sure??!"
"I'm 100% sure!"
"That's good." He glanced at the three empty rice bags on the kitchen floor with his peripheral vision. Sumo finally relaxed and let out a long sigh of relief.
Who knows, a little mutant can eat thirty kilograms of rice and fifteen kilograms of noodles in just one meal?
What is this concept?
Is this something humans can do?
His appetite is as strong as a coolie lizard in Tianyuan's territory. He will not refuse anyone who comes, and he can eat everything that tastes delicious.
His ability to only go in and out is even better than that of a coolie lizard, and he can completely decompose food into alien energy to strengthen himself.
"Wait, coolie lizard?"
He found Zhou Xun lying contentedly on the ground far away, with a comfortable and lazy expression on his face.
For some reason, this expression matched the expressions of the coolie lizards that Chen Shen had raised before, when they were eating and basking in the sun.
Is it possible that there is a relationship between the two?
"It's five o'clock now. Our experiment will start at seven o'clock. I will prepare for the experiment first. I will mainly focus on exploration tonight."
"You can rest for a while. If you feel uncomfortable, call me at any time."
As he stepped onto the stairs to the second floor, Sumo turned around and gave instructions worriedly, and then walked into the laboratory on the second floor with worry.
Orcs.
It is a special species that only widely exists in games, movies, and novels.
They have both human genes and some genes from animals, which to a certain extent make up for the "disadvantages" of balanced human attributes.
However, without changing the overall value of human beings, that is, the length of the information flow.
If you add in one area, you must subtract in other areas.
Just like Zhou Xun now, although he has obtained this magical ability, he can provide some special buffs in desperate situations.
But correspondingly, his demand for food has not only increased tenfold, but more than dozens of times.
If there are other side effects later.
It's like gradually taking away human beings' sanity and allowing the desire to prey to reach its peak.
Isn't it just another version of zombies, one with some intelligence?!
"Damn it, integrate biological genes into this special virus to forcefully match the host to find a breakthrough."
"This idea is simply crazy!"
"I don't know which lunatic dared to make such a decision. This is definitely crazier than the people of Yan Kingdom!"
The medical cabin was opened step by step, and a series of expensive portable medical equipment was activated.
When the time came, Zhou Xun, who was pregnant with a big belly, was instructed all the way to cooperate with the inspection on various instruments.
Blood draw, hair, urine, skin, X-ray, MRI
After the routine examination methods were completed and the samples were taken, Sumo was still in a bad mood.
The clever Zhou Xu also noticed this and did not dare to disturb him anymore. He just silently went down to the bedroom on the first floor and there was no sound.
Soon, the first blood sample test results came out.
Based on genetic matching.
Unlike the biologists in the territory who had to do a lot of basic experiments, Somo went straight to genetic characteristics as soon as he got started.
Sure enough, as soon as this search matched the existing gene segments in the database, the biggest problem in Zhou Xun's body was immediately exposed in front of him.
There is indeed a big problem with human genes. After the immune defense line was broken by the blood epidemic, they were invaded by these foreign genes.
They are like malignant tumors, constantly sucking nutrients from the host's body and multiplying cells that obey their orders.
It is a miracle that Zhou Xun can persevere in this kind of invasion until now. It is his willpower that defeated the foreign genetic invasion, and it was his will to survive that helped him.
etc.
Vaguely, Sumo felt something was wrong.
Regarding these two points, there are many people in the Fu'an United Territory who are worse than Zhou Xun. Just like Shun Hu, how did this old coward survive the genetic shock?
And among those who were stronger than Zhou Xun, some of them died violently from the blood plague. Doesn’t this make sense?
"It seems that there must be variables that I don't know about."
"As long as we can find this variable, we may be able to find a way for them to survive and even use this power!"
While he was pondering, the scanning results of another instrument next to him slowly came out.
A piece of white paper carrying information flowed out of the printer, recording the current true condition of each part of Zhou Xun's body.
For the first time, Sumo did not read the text description below, but looked directly at the scanned picture.
The head is very healthy and shows no signs of invasion.
The neck and lymph nodes were somewhat swollen, and the throat also showed signs of inflammation. It was speculated that the air in the camp was too poor and the infection was caused by the influenza virus.
There are shadows on the lungs, but the problem is not serious. It is obviously the root cause of the disease caused by the extreme weather in the past.
The heart is a bit enlarged, so it should be fine.
The stomach can obviously be seen to be very stretched by food, and has exceeded the normal expansion range of humans.
liver
double kidney
Soon, after looking around, Somo could not find any other abnormality except the stomach that was visible to the naked eye.
Zhou Xun's body is not considered healthy, but after eight years in this wasteland, he can be considered one of the stronger and healthier among ordinary people.
"No, there must be something else I missed."
After reading the identification given by the instrument below, Sumo became even more confused and continued to wait for the third lateral image to appear.
He didn't believe that if Zhou Xun wasn't special at all, how could he be so special among the tens of thousands of people in the refugee camp?
In the face of such a terrifying blood epidemic, this performance is definitely not luck!
There must be something special helping him!
About ten minutes later, I picked up a fresh appraisal report from under the printer again.
Finally, after seeing the fourth lateral X-ray picture of the heart, Sumo suddenly stood up.
"The probability of primary cardiac tumor is 76.8%? That special cancer that is said to be only one in a million?!"
Unlike other organs, the heart is an organ that is in motion all the time.
Tumor cells rarely stay in such high-frequency moving organs to proliferate, and it is especially difficult to transfer to the heart and occupy territory.
Under such special circumstances, there is only one possibility for suffering from heart tumors.
Genetic primary.
This special type of cancer cell is present in the heart right after birth. As humans grow, the cancer cells also multiply slowly.
But what is the relationship between cancer cells and blood plague viruses?
Sitting at the table, Sumo suddenly felt that he had grasped a very important point.
He rushed down to the second floor and opened Zhou Xun's door directly.
Zhou Xun, who was playing with a small square sideways inside, was so frightened that he almost jumped out of bed.
"Mr. Yang Yang, why are you here? Has the experiment produced any results?" Zhou Xun quietly stuffed the cube under his round belly and revealed a smile.
"Zhou Xun, let me ask you, did you have any side effects when you used that ability today?"
"Side effects?" Zhou Xun was stunned: "Does hunger count?"
"Fine, but I'm talking about other things. For example, when you use your abilities, does your heart show any special behavior?"
"Yes, it shows. Whenever that power emerges, my heart will beat rapidly and my heart rate will rise linearly!"
"What?" Hearing this answer in disbelief, Somo's face was filled with shock.
Although he was mentally prepared before asking.
But until now, he still dare not admit it.
Cancer cells will actually become mankind's last line of defense against blood plague viruses?
