All researchers who were preparing for the Chosen Project were interrupted by an emergency broadcast notification in the bunker. This was an emergency insertion experiment.
Through the monitor, I saw a group of busy people in white coats adjusting their work according to the notification. The female secretary said to her superior: "General, Dr. Pekes read this document and he thinks..."
"Selina." The general said to the female secretary: "Do you know the average age at which each scientist makes his highest scientific achievement in his life?"
"Uh, I don't know." Silina said.
"He is 25 to 45 years old." The general said to Silina: "I respect Dr. Pekes very much, but his thinking has been solidified.
In this blood epidemic that cannot be explained by any scientific theory, what we need is not only to inherit the knowledge of the past, but also to dare to expand unknown knowledge."
"What do you mean?" Silina said.
"Don't be too nervous." The general gave a rare smile and said, "Even if it is a failure, it is just one more time. However, what interests me more is this Dina Keynes. Do you have any information about her?"
"Send it to you right away, General." Silina's fingers quickly operated on a huge touch screen, and soon, Dina's personal information was sent over.
After reading the information sent by the female secretary for a while, the general fell silent.
…
After finishing all the work, Dina was a little hungry. When she returned to the restaurant, she found that there were no fragrant and prepared meals. After staring at the empty restaurant for a while, Dina decided to make it herself.
The result of the first cooking was beyond Dina's expectation and surprisingly good. Joanna also came back halfway through the cooking. She helped Dina finish some of the cooking and made a few desserts by the way.
The first cooking success made Dina burst with confidence, and then the hungry three people enjoyed a dinner made by Dina herself.
Although there is no daylight in the bunker, everyone is still planning to rest according to the 24-hour schedule. Otherwise, people's biological clocks can easily be disrupted.
After dinner, everyone rested for a while, and Joanna went to take a shower. Of course there is a bathroom here.
Just now, Joanna and Egg moved the corpses several times. Since the outbreak of the blood plague, the corpses of both infected and survivors have decomposed extremely fast. Moving corpses is the most difficult task that tests one's endurance.
Taking advantage of the rest after dinner, Dina took Egger to a laboratory.
This is a health management laboratory, commonly known as a medical room. Its main function is to study changes in volunteers' physical functions. On the other hand, it can also perform emergency treatment.
Of course, if someone really has a disease, they usually turn right when going out and go to a private hospital in a small town.
The main purpose here is testing, so the testing instruments here are very advanced. Not only are they fully automated, but they are also intelligent.
Dina wanted detailed data on Egg's body, and she was ready to study the strange humanoid creature in front of her.
To be honest, when Iger said that he could make a spiritual connection with the heart of blood plague and special infected people, Dina had quietly crossed out Iger from "human" in her heart, and now he was labeled as "unidentified creature"
.
Egg is now naked and lying in a medical cabin similar to a space capsule. Here he does not need to insert so many sensors. The medical cabin itself is a multi-functional inspection device.
Dina clicked "Full Body 3D Scan" and the medical cabin began to operate.
Egg was lying in the medical cabin. He only heard the sound of machines. The temperature and humidity here were just right. Although it was a little hard to lie down and there were no pillows, he felt very good.
Egg had a busy day today and did physical work all afternoon. He didn't feel it at first, but after lying quietly like this for a while, he felt a wave of sleepiness coming over him.
Just when Egger's consciousness was drowsy and he felt like he was about to fall asleep, Dina's voice came from the speaker on the medical bulkhead.
"There is indeed something strange about your body." Dina shouted into the microphone: "When was the last time you had a seizure?"
"What?" Egger was lying in the instrument. He was stunned after hearing Dina's words. Is this a kind of harassment?
"Don't hide it, this matter is very important to you." Dina said to Egger.
"Uh, today, some time ago." Egger honestly explained to Dina.
"Can a 10-year-old child have this kind of ability?" Dina said to herself. What's even more annoying is that when she said to herself like this, she didn't turn off the microphone. I don't know if she was absent-minded or intentional.
.
As a man, he must make a solemn statement about this kind of thing. So Iger retorted loudly: "It is 11 years old. I am already 11 years old."
"No, you are still 10 years old." Dina said to Iger, "Your bone age has not increased since last year."
"Impossible!" Egg retorted to Dina: "I have obviously grown taller and stronger."
"How tall were you before?" Dina asked Iger.
Well, actually Iger didn't measure it carefully. He thought he should be 170cm.
Egg's body scan data shows that he is 171cm long.
Dina reported the results to Egger and said: "A 10-year-old boy grows an average of 5-10 centimeters a year, but in the past six months, your height has not changed at all.
Bones don't lie. Although you have grown stronger, you have only grown from a 10-year-old to a 10-year-old plus."
Dina's words made Egger unable to refute. He had already passed puberty for a long time and had long forgotten that his body still needs to grow taller.
Judging from his family's physical inheritance, Iger's height will be at least 190cm when he becomes an adult. He has not changed at all in the past six months, and there is no way to explain it away.
"Your body has stopped growing." Dina said to Egger: "From the worst news, you have been this high in your life. But from the good news, first of all, you have just entered the stage where you can have a pulse.
age, otherwise you may never experience it."
Yeah?
Egger touched it lightly with his hand guiltily. If it really happened, it would definitely be a fatal blow to the man.
Then, Dina squinted her eyes and stared at the data on the monitor, and she said with full malice: "The second thing is, I don't know whether you will live forever, or whether you will be young, or both. Anyway, you will last forever.
Maintain your current physical function.
How abominable! Why is such a perfect body not mine?!"
ah?
Is there such a good thing?
But Iger immediately figured out that he had already transformed into a zombie once.
Although the blood plague has been cured, it has changed your body.
This was the third time that Iger discovered a different meaning from this sentence. To be honest, he was very confused about this situation.
If it were in peaceful times, this would definitely be good news, but living in such an apocalyptic world, where natural old age and death are a luxury, it is really no different from ordinary people.
"The next thing is very important, please listen carefully." Dina said to Egger in a professional and serious tone.
Egger listened with open ears.
Dina said to Egger: "You can survive only because a certain substance in your blood has an inhibitory effect on the blood plague virus throughout the body.
The good news is that this suppression effect is very good. The concentration of blood plague viruses in your body is the same as that of an infected person, but they are all suppressed.
The bad news is, I'm not sure if these inhibitory substances are consumed, but what is certain is that they cannot be regenerated by your body.
Once this suppression fails, you quickly become infected again."
After Iger heard what Dina said, he made a serious note of it in his mind.
"So, less injuries, less bleeding, and less exposure to sources of infection. Also." Dina thought for a moment and said to Egger: "It is best to replenish the treatment serum regularly."
Egg looked at the line "Blood plague resistance increased by 100%" in his character column, and he understood what it meant.
Within a certain threshold, Egger's resistance to the blood plague is 100%, and he will not be infected again even if he wrestles with someone infected with the blood plague.
However, once this threshold is exceeded, it is like a balloon being blown. It only takes an instant from immunity to blood plague infection to death.
In the past, when I heard this news, Iger might not have known what to do. He could only choose to resign himself to his fate. But things are different now. Iger can use the healing serum to give himself a booster shot.
"When can we start developing a treatment serum?" Egger asked Dina.
"Research and development?" Dina said to Egger: "I have already finished the research, and the development is not my responsibility."
"What? You're done?" Egger was so surprised that he almost sat up.
Sister, you're not messing with me, are you? Didn't you say it would take a few months? It's only been a few days, and the bunker hasn't even been cleaned yet, so just say it's okay.
Also, development matters are not your responsibility anymore. You are just kidding me, right?
"Yes, all my work has been completed." Dina pressed her thumbs on her brows. This was a massage method that Iger taught her after learning that she often had eye pain.
To be precise, Iger taught Dina a set of eye exercises.
This technique is really useful. Now Dina likes to press her thumb on her brow when she has nothing to do.
"Where's the serum? Aren't we going to make a treatment serum?" Egger asked Dina.
"No, no need." Dina explained to Egger, "I only need to send the production method to the military experimenters through the satellite network, and they will make and verify it."
"But, but." Egg stretched out his hand and pushed away the still-functioning medical cabin. He sat up and shouted at Dina: "You tricked me like this, traveled thousands of miles, and it's over like this?!
My people are still waiting for me to bring back the healing serum!"
This was not a matter of anger and concern for Iger, he was so angry that his hair almost stood on end with anger.
Egg roared at Dina: "Aren't there still equipment and materials for making serum in this bunker? We don't do anything, why should we leave like this!"
Dina looked at Egger. It was the first time she saw Egger get so angry. She said to Egger with some embarrassment: "I don't know how to operate these machines."
"You learn!" Egg shouted to Dina.
"I can't learn..." Dina said weakly, "For example, when the indicator light changes from red to yellow, I can't understand it."
After hearing Dina's words, Egger finally calmed down.
Dina has total color blindness, and many things that are very simple for ordinary people are insurmountable obstacles for her.
However, would a living person still be suffocated to death? Aren't there two people in the base?
After Iger calmed down, he said sincerely to Dina: "Then, please teach me."
