Chapter 243: Doberman Pinscher Group, Strange Virus, Board the Train
After Xie Yuan saw the entire appearance of this group of Doberman dogs, he couldn't help but frown.
Most of the hair on each Doberman's body has fallen off, and the outer skin has rotted and fallen off. Only the muscle tissue is exposed. In some places, the ribs can even be seen. The color of the pupils of the eyeballs has turned red, and the whites of the eyes are covered with bloodshot eyes.
Their teeth and claws have become longer, narrower, and sharper, and they seem to be beginning to show signs of atavism.
The entire group of dogs looked at Xie Yuan with extremely hungry eyes. They seemed to be unable to bark due to damaged vocal cords, but their prone jumping movements showed that they were ready to attack.
A group of dogs actually know that they are not easy to mess with? Will the virus also enhance intelligence?
However, it turned out that Xie Yuan was overthinking and they were just used to attacking like this.
Soon, several Doberman dogs took the lead in attacking Xie Yuan as the vanguard, just like they did against the driver and the military police: attacking at the same time to make the target exhausted.
But unfortunately, they underestimated Xie Yuan's reaction power, which was refined from the experience of killing tens of thousands of Nosalis.
When he rushed over, Xie Yuan started to take a step backwards with his right foot, and then when the Doberman was about to pounce on him——
"Wind!" I saw a quick gust of wind passing by, and when Xie Yuan put his right foot down, several Doberman pioneers were kicked three or four meters away without having time to release their screams.
Soon they were lying on the ground motionless, although they seemed to be unable to make a sound.
"What a powerful group of dogs!" Xie Yuan, whose face seemed calm, was actually filled with turmoil in his heart.
Although Xie Yuan kicked it easily, with such strength, a normal Doberman could be kicked seven or eight meters away, but now it is on the same level as kicking a person.
This is not a normal dog! How many times has this been enhanced by riding a horse? This does not include the reaction ability and group assistance ability. This is a biological weapon.
Moreover, the Doberman dog group did not fall into sadness or madness due to the death of several companions, but continued to attack calmly.
"Emotions have been effectively suppressed or stripped away? Will they not be fluctuated by emotions?" After quickly kicking the attacking dogs to death again, Xie Yuan commented on the combat value of the Doberman Pinscher.
"Bang!" After kicking away the last Doberman that was about to pounce, Xie Yuan took out a field surgical bag from his own space.
Anyway, he had enough time, so he planned to conduct a rough dissection of the mutated Doberman he saw.
At the same time, some dogs' nerve tissue, spinal cord tissue, and brain tissue were extracted for a toxicological test to detect what viruses could affect both dogs and humans.
However, the scanning and analysis results of the universal tool made Xie Yuan feel puzzled: This was not any virus that Xie Yuan had heard of: it was not rabies virus, nor was it zombie deer virus - although the symptoms were very similar to rabies virus.
Or to put it another way: this is a strange synthetic virus that should be classified as an RNA virus.
The operating principle of the virus after entering the human body was also detected by the analyzer module: "This virus is actually a mild virus.
The virus will integrate its genetic material into the chromosome of the host cell and live in symbiosis for a long time.
During this symbiosis, it is obvious that the host cell's genotype is changed due to the integration of the viral chromosome, achieving the characteristics of strengthening and reorganizing the biological genetic factors."
Judging from the results, this type of synthetic RNA virus has gradually weakened.
The analyzer confirmed that the super-strong virus that could be transmitted through body fluids, blood, and air and had a high infection rate has attenuated into a special virus that has an air infection rate that is infinitely close to 0, a blood infection rate that is also very low, but body fluid infection that is close to 100%.
Although it has made a qualitative leap compared to ordinary viruses in terms of its ability to infect and its speed of onset.
At the same time, the scanner also gave Xie Yuan a simplified report to explain the causes of rottenness and gluttony after being infected with the virus:
Viral infection is blocked by the body's immune system. White blood cells will try to kill infected cells, usually in a "die together" method, which results in a large amount of necrotic tissue in the human body.
In order to repair tissue damage and restore the function of the immune system, a large amount of food is needed to provide materials and energy sources, which causes the infected person to have a strong appetite.
Under normal circumstances, the brain is isolated and protected by a tissue called the "blood-brain barrier" and does not come into contact with immune cells. Therefore, if the barrier is not damaged, the brain is expected to complete the mutation relatively intact.
Therefore, zombies can still walk upright and forage for food.
"So that's it!" Xie Yuan suddenly realized, "I asked why there is a need to hit the head in zombie movies! It turns out that it is caused by incomplete infection."
But knowing this useless little knowledge is useless. With Xie Yuan's agility, even if there are dozens of such creatures nearby, he will not be bitten.
However, as a guy who likes to teach others, Xie Yuan still found a notebook from the driver's seat of the car and wrote down some characteristics of viruses and infectious organisms on the paper.
Key tips for dealing with this "mutated" human creature are: between the two mastoids, with the sternum pointing upward, keep a distance, and beware of being bitten.
For canine creatures, Xie Yuan suggested using shotguns, submachine guns, and submachine pistols with larger dispersion rates.
Then carefully tear off the paper and fix it with stones. If anyone later investigates the scene, they can see this message.
If possible, Xie Yuan suggested that this forest should be closed and the mutated creatures here should be hunted vigorously to prevent the creatures in the mountains from affecting human settlements.
Otherwise, Xie Yuan can foresee that one day in the future, nearby cities will fall into panic about this virus.
After he completed these preparations, Xie Yuan embarked on the journey again. After all, the search helicopter might come over at any time.
But Xie Yuan still couldn't go too far... Ten minutes later, while searching aimlessly, Xie Yuan saw a train.
It is not the green leather passenger car that Xie Yuan once rode in the past, but it is also not the bullet train that was developed later.
But it was a very luxurious VIP train. In his whole life, Xie Yuan had never taken such an ultra-luxurious means of transportation that only served the upper class.
The front of the train is very large, and the front is relatively rounded, not a bullet, but a bit like a steamed bun; and the rear is also very "tall and classy", giving it a vague feeling of futuristic technology.
However, the luxurious decoration and comfortable high-class transportation in the past are now just a "coffin" train carrying dozens of corpses.
The people in the car have been dead for a while, and their skin is pale and eroded, which is also a sign of being infected by the virus.
However, it is inferred from the absence of a single survivor that it was definitely not done by small and medium-sized group creatures such as Doberman Pinschers.
The murderer must be much smaller than a dog or other creature in order to enter a nearly sealed carriage, so it must be extremely numerous in order for the people in a carriage to be unable to resist and die.
Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the items were placed in the carriage in advance and then released under controlled conditions during the journey to commit murder.
"Should we go up?" Xie Yuan hesitated, suppressing curiosity.
In this forest with dense vegetation, there may not be any supply stations within a radius of dozens of miles, so a train is of great significance.
There may be ID documents used to replace other people's identities, or interesting jewelry to sell for money, and there may even be bonds and valuable equity documents...
Even if it's bad, there might be some food and drink... food from the VIP train! He really hasn't enjoyed it yet!
But there are also problems with getting on this train. It's not that I'm afraid of coming into contact with secrets, or that I'm not a human being turned into a "zombie". These are all small problems... I'd say it's a medium problem.
The problem is that Xie Yuan doesn't know what killed the people in the car? Is this "murderer" still in the car? Is he/she/it easy to deal with?
If he really couldn't handle it, he could still jump out of the car, but he was afraid that he would be killed by the murderer the moment they met.
Xie Yuan really doesn’t want to work in vain anymore… It’s hard to say whether it’s a waste of work!
But something happened and Xie Yuan had to get on a train: he suddenly heard the sound of a helicopter's propeller blades turning!
"I'm afraid the search team has arrived! Mad, they came so fast!"
Xie Yuan, who was frightened by the precise frequency of the search team's attendance, no longer cared about whether there was a terrifying murderer in the train. He used his handcuffed fist to hit the four corners of a window, and then hit it in the middle!
"Bang!" The car window shattered, and Xie Yuan jumped into the car.
He must find something to disguise himself in the train as soon as possible, pretend to be another person, and then escape while they search the carriage.
As soon as they got into the train, the "zombie" on both sides of the seats suddenly woke up and pounced on Xie Yuan. When he reacted, he punched each one and broke their necks.
Xie Yuan stood still again and began to search for interesting things in the train.
But what Xie Yuan didn't know was that in the helicopter that was about to arrive, a partner of his for the rest of the journey was coming...
