Star Rank Hunter

Putting on the protective clothing, Xilin walked out of the aircraft with tools.

As he expected, the robot can't do this job at all. If it could be done, the solution would have been found long ago. There are so many evolutionary robots of the Black Viper, but there has been no considerable progress until now. Some things still need to be solved by humans. Do it yourself.

Seeing Xilin go out, the gray cat raised its paws and lowered its ears. It really wanted to kick Xilin out of here. On the other hand, it has no ability to help Xilin.

The surrounding area is very quiet, but if you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of explosions in the distance, and you can see a little bit of fire in the sky. It is conceivable what kind of riot it is.

Xilin cautiously and slowly moved closer to the place where he took it out. Every time he took a step, he would observe the data detected on the instrument. Once there was an abnormality, Xilin would stop, but the strange thing was that, as before, there was still nothing suspicious before arriving there. place.

Xilin was already very close to where the robot was standing, but there was nothing special about it from the display on the instrument.

"Hulu, how do you feel?" Xilin looked at the gray cat.

The gray cat shook its head, "It just feels bad, I can't explain why, I just feel a little frightened, but I can't detect anything special, except for the zebra virus around... No, the virus in the air around here The density has become higher! Xilin, please don't move, I'll go over and have a look."

"Be careful."

The gray cat raised its feet and walked over there, when the gray cat was standing next to the robot. It suddenly felt cold all over, and all the fur on its body exploded.

"Hulu, what's the matter?" Xilin was very anxious seeing the gray cat like this.

"Don't...don't come here!"

The gray cat moved back slowly step by step, which was different from the easy step forward just now. Every move looks pretty tough right now. Seeing it, Xilin felt pain in all his bones.

Finally, the gray cat retreated to the side of Xilin, and heaved a sigh of relief, "That place is too weird, Xilin, let's not go there."

"Okay, let's go back first." Xilin also knew that there was no rush, but it would be good if he could discover the strangeness here, at least it would be an improvement.

Really ready to go back. Xilin suddenly stopped and looked at his hand holding the instrument in a daze.

The gray cat shook its stiff fur vigorously, took a long breath when Xilin said that he was going back, and tiptoed to withdraw from the net aircraft. But after running a few steps, he found Xilin standing there looking at his hands in a daze.

"Xilin, leave quickly, let's go back!"

Seeing that Xilin didn't answer and was still staring at his hands in a daze, the gray cat became anxious. Shouldn't it be dead like that robot?

"Xilin!!" the gray cat ran over and shouted.

Xilin finally looked away from his hands and looked at the gray cat.

"Snoring."

"What?"

"I'm infected."

"Infection means... what!!" The gray cat jumped up and down from the spot, "What did you say?!"

"I'm infected."

"How is it possible? Aren't you wearing protective clothing?" The gray cat wanted to be sure, and walked around Xilin. After carefully looking at the protective clothing that Xilin was wearing outside, no damage was found. The breathing mask, gas exchange tube and the newly added internal virus filter are also intact, so how could it be infected. How can it be? !

"Protective suits are useless."

"You lied! Gu Xin told that muddled person that this is the latest protective clothing. The neuropaths of the Black Viper and those old guys from the Royal Academy of Sciences have done experiments! How could it be useless! Xilin, don't lie, lying will change It's a poop!" The gray cat really wanted to jump over and scratch Xilin's face with claw marks.

"I didn't lie to you." Xilin didn't go back and sat down on the spot.

Just when Xilin was about to leave, he discovered that a substance penetrated the protective clothing and entered his body through the surface of the skin, and then, the familiar molecule began to synthesize slowly. The speed is not fast, but it is indeed synthesized towards the familiar zebra molecular formula, and it is a primary variant recognized by the Royal Academy of Sciences and the Black Viper research team.

After the primary variant was synthesized, a secondary change was made, towards another familiar molecular formula, which was the recognized intermediate variant.

If it wasn't for Xilin's own computer-like body, he wouldn't have discovered this.

Xilin was really shocked just now, he didn't think that the so-called virus source was that thing.

"Snore, I found the virus source," Xilin said. The tone was neither urgent nor slow, and the emotional fluctuations caused by the infection could not be heard.

The gray cat was circling in a hurry, and its eyes lit up when Xilin said that it had found the original virus. According to the researchers of the two parties, finding the original virus would solve the problem faster and produce an antiviral agent. .

"What is it?! Where is it?" Gray Cat asked hastily.

Xilin pressed an inconspicuous place on the communicator on his wrist, and a green light screen popped up. Xilin raised his hand and clicked on the light screen. The speed of his five fingers was quite fast. Most people could not see Xilin's movements clearly at all, and even Even the fast flashing characters on the light screen can't be seen clearly, but the gray cat can see it.

According to Xilin's new procedure, the gray cat's eyes changed, the pupils expanded to cover the entire eyeballs, and the gleaming green light was very strange in the dark.

"I see!"

The gray cat converted and projected the scene it saw for Xilin to see.

In terms of influence, other organisms have been filtered, and it is still an ultramicroscopic image. There are only some floating spots of light on the image, and some other bands are connected around the spots.

The bands are the so-called zebra virus, and the very small number of light spots in a single free state are unknown substances that have not been clarified in the molecular map. This unknown substance is the original zebra virus that everyone is looking for.

No one thought that the original body of the virus was that unknown substance, including Xilin who was shocked when he discovered the truth after being infected with this substance.

I have never seen a virus that is just such a single substance, it is like a pure atom. But this atom is full of mysteries, its internal structure cannot be determined, it cannot be defined, it cannot be determined.

Even if such a substance is found. The original zebra virus has been found, but the next one may be more difficult to solve. For the researchers of the zebra virus, it was as if they had stored electricity for a long time, and when they were about to find the target, they tried their best to electrify it, but in the end they found that the target was an insulator.

What's more, this substance is able to penetrate protective clothing.

Xilin reprogrammed a new set of procedures and detection methods for the sample collectors, and Gray Cat will fully track these sample collectors and guide these machines to carry out correct detection methods.

two hours later. Xilin got the results.

Except here, there is no free state of the original substance in other places. The free state of the original substance is not stable, and it will soon attract other needed elements. Synthesize towards the steady state of the virus, that is, experience "primary variants", "intermediate variants" and then relatively stable "advanced variants" in a relatively short period of time. However, although advanced variants are relatively stable, they are only Rather, they undergo subsequent mutations according to different conditions within the host cell.

Because there are too many advanced variants of the virus. Everyone refers to relatively stable virus variants after intermediate variants as advanced variants.

"What are you going to do?" The gray cat looked at Xilin with a sad face, pawing the ground with its paws irritably, "I told you not to come, you are stubborn! What are you doing here? Look. It's not infected with the virus, even if your The body is different from ordinary people but not superhuman. Do you think you are really a robot..."

The gray cat hasn't stopped mumbling since just now, and Xilin didn't reply. Sitting there quietly watching the data displayed on the light screen.

After a while, Xilin stood up and walked towards the robot.

"What are you doing?! You are not allowed to go! Are you looking for death?!" The gray cat didn't care too much, its body suddenly swelled, and its appearance became fierce. Its long fangs opened, blocking the way of Xilin.

Xilin sighed, walked over to pet the gray cat's enlarged head, and said, "I'll look for the reason and see if I can find a solution. If I just go back like this, I'm really going to die."

The gray cat's big ears flicked, and its round eyes waited for Xilin to hesitate, "Are you serious?"

"Of course it's true! I don't want to die."

"I'll go with you!" As soon as the words fell, the gray cat shrank again, so that it was a little stronger against the place.

Xilin brought the gray cat closer to that place. Because of the previous observation method, the gray cat showed Xilin the ultra-microscopic filter image it saw in its eyes.

The closer to that place, the more free-form original bodies, there is no doubt that this is the origin of the zebra virus.

Passing over the robot standing there, Xilin walked towards the core point. The measuring instrument in his hand could no longer be used. This substance seemed to be able to affect the operation of the machine. It could be called a super virus. It could not only infect organisms, but also affect to the mechanical body.

The gray cat squatted on Xilin's shoulder. The closer it was to the core area, the more difficult the gray cat's movements became. Even if it became an organism, it would be greatly affected, so it could only be driven by Xilin.

In fact, Xilin is not completely unaffected, because the biological chip embedded in the gene is not a purely mechanical substance, but it also has a feeling similar to that of a gray cat. Like running 50,000 meters with obstacles.

When he walked to the core location, Xilin found that there was a basement here, which was very secret. In addition, this area was a remote area, and it was also a heavily virus-infected area. No one came here, so it was no wonder that no one had discovered it until now.

Find the entrance, it's not big, just enough for one person to come in and out. After Xilin slid down, he put on night vision goggles. It was completely dark down here, without any light. Xilin didn't dare to use light because he was afraid that there would be substances that could not see light.

Some special departments of the army will also have similar professors in their training, because their tasks involve very special places, and there may be some substances that are easily decomposed by light. Non-toxic, the substance after seeing light decomposition is highly toxic.

Xilin didn't learn these things from the army, but when he himself was a shadow hunter, he made a lot of substances that were decomposed into highly toxic substances by light.

Although Xilin is still wearing protective clothing, in order to avoid other abnormal events other than vital gases, he still uses night vision equipment completely.

It can be seen from the filter image. There are more free-form protozoa here than outside, and the virus is most likely leaked from here.

Since this is the case, is it possible that the zebra virus is really artificially produced? If it is true, the person who made the zebra virus can really be called a genius. It's the same as Hou Lei Hansen, the mad scientist who injected the chip into Xilin.

There are no traces of animal life here, and the laboratory is still the same as before. The configuration of the laboratory is not high, and most of them are equipment models that have been eliminated by the Royal Academy of Sciences.

Xilin found the owner here in a laboratory, but this person had been dead for a long time and hadn't rotted much. People who died from the zebra virus are like this and won't rot quickly.

This person looked like a mummy with a zebra crossing painted on it, and Xilin speculated that he should be the first victim of the zebra virus. He was also the first person to die from a zebra virus infection.

This underground laboratory is not big, and Xilin quickly walked around. No trace of making the zebra virus was found.

Several key machines have been smashed by the owner here, but they are just malfunctioning, Xilin can still read some information from these machines.

Gray cat is not in the state now. Xilin can't count on it. I took out a finger-long cylindrical instrument and shook it over the smashed machine. Just after reading the data, the instrument stopped working, so I could only stick to it. The virogen substances around here have too much influence, even if Xilin is curious, he can't read the information on the spot.

"Are you alright?" The gray cat felt quite uncomfortable.

"Okay, let's go up and see what information is hidden in these machines." Xilin touched the gray cat's drooping ears soothingly and said.

There is one more place to look before going out, and that is where the virogen substance escapes.

The dead man sat against the bench. He still held a stick in his hand, and the surrounding instruments were smashed with this stick. It is precisely because this person was infected with the zebra virus that he smashed it, so he couldn't use his strength. That's why the data on the machine can be completely restored, otherwise it will take a lot of effort.

The man was lying there, looking at a place, which was a wall. Xilin walked up to that wall, knocked on it, and took a knife to pry it open after confirming a place. Just after prying open a crack, Xilin fell to the ground with black eyes.

"Xilin, what's wrong with you, Xilin?!" The gray cat raised its paw and patted Xilin.

It took Xilin a long time to recover. His vision was completely dark just now, and he couldn't see the scene shown through the night vision goggles at all.

After recovering now, Xilin raised his eyes and looked at the wall. From the place where he was pried open by the knife, there was only a broken bottle inside. As for the contents of the bottle...

Xilin rubbed his head, feeling very uncomfortable.

"Did the thing go into your body?" the gray cat asked tremblingly.

Xilin tapped his head, "It seems to be."

Gray cat wants to cry.

In the end, Xilin moved out step by step. He seemed to have lost his sense of balance now. The cerebellum was about to revolt, and the brain began to have a tendency to rebel. Not optimistic.

But after leaving the underground laboratory, the gray cat jumped off Xilin's shoulder. I don't know if it's because the thing in the bottle has gone to Xilin's body, but the gray cat is not affected much now.

After changing the body shape and inflated, he quickly ran to the aircraft with Xilin on his back. Now it doesn’t make sense to kill bacteria or not. Anyway, it has already been infected with zebra virus, and Xilin entered directly through the cabin door instead of the sterile room.

After returning to the aircraft, Xilin sat on a chair and took out a few bottles of medicine for injection, then sat there quietly.

"Hey, Xilin, don't fall asleep, you won't be able to wake up if you fall asleep!" The gray cat circled around the chair.

"Who did you hear that from?"

"Everyone says so!"

"Okay, I'll rest for a while, don't disturb me."

"Will you wake up when you fall asleep?"

"certainly."

"Lying becomes shit."

"Well, become a poop."

"..." The gray cat jumped to the side table, curled up its limbs and squatted there staring at Xilin. After thinking for a while, it ran to the communicator on the aircraft to contact Guan Feng.

Guan Feng was in a meeting again, and suddenly an urgent report made everyone in the Royal Academy of Sciences panic. The princess of the Fuweige family of the fire eagle was diagnosed with the zebra virus three hours ago.

In the past, it was just a matter of the eleventh star field, and they could delay it for a while, but now it involves the royal family of the three kings, and the people of the Royal Academy of Sciences can no longer shirk their responsibility.

The dean of the Royal Academy of Sciences urgently summoned all senior managers, no matter what you are doing or where you are, don't try to escape responsibility, go to the meeting as soon as possible.

So Guan Feng reluctantly walked into the conference room and sat down. He doesn't understand, he doesn't know anything about viruses at all, what's the point of sitting here and listening to these people talking nonsense about shirking responsibility? In the past, you used to flaunt your academician title everywhere for fear that others would not know that you are highly respected and knowledgeable, but now you have withered, and you haven’t come up with an effective plan for such a long time. You are also a professional and authoritative person, worthy of the name.

Guan Feng came here alone to make up the numbers, and now he doesn't pretend to be patient and gentle, just sits there casually and listens to the nonsense of these professionals, while thinking about what happened to Xilin, the little bastard, and hasn't contacted him for so long .

Just as he was thinking, Guan Feng's communicator rang. This time it was not a video communication, nor an audio communication, but a few lines of words: Master Guan Feng, I am Hulu, Xilin was infected with the zebra virus, and now he is asleep , Don't let me quarrel with him.

As soon as Guan Feng saw this line of words, his mind went crazy, and at the same time he raised his hand and slapped the table reflexively.

Snapped!

The loud sound of slapping the table interrupted the words of the President of the Royal Academy of Sciences, who was speaking righteously and righteously.
