Chapter 35 - Research progress

Xu Ruoxi sat on Li Chen's right side.

After a while, Dr. Yang hurried over.

His face was full of red light.

The steps are light and light.

"Report to the commander! At present, a huge breakthrough has been made in the use of energy cores!"

"Our researchers discovered that the energy in the energy core is stored in a mixed state of liquid and gas. In the form of biological waves, the energy inside can be extracted for use!"

Dr. Yang said, turning on the smart bracelet.

Send the information to Li Chen.

Then continue talking.

"So we made a bold guess, maybe the energy core can be absorbed by the human body!"

"For this, our researchers performed experiments on themselves."

While speaking, Dr. Yang took out an energy core.

Put it directly in the palm of your hand.

Immediately afterwards, a strange crimson color appeared on the face.

Li Chen clearly felt that the energy core in Dr. Yang's hand was fluctuating violently.

Just follow Dr. Yang's efforts.

Energy did not enter his body.

Instead, after being pulled out, it disappeared into the air!

Looking at the energy core again, it changed from crystal clear to gray.

It looks like glass products have been placed in a certain place for a long time, and they are covered with dust.

Dr. Yang couldn't help scratching his head.

"There is no way for the body to use this energy yet."

"Our guess is that maybe our researcher's body can't reach the threshold, so it can't absorb it."

Before the doomsday, Dr. Yang had made great achievements in two aspects of biology and energy.

In a paper published by Dr. Yang.

There have been similar conjectures.

Today, less than 10% of human brain cells are developed and utilized.

Most of the remaining brain cells are in a dormant state.

Only 1% of brain cells will participate in the functional activities of the brain at the same time.

The brain is like this, but what about the body?

There are also many human gene fragments that are not activated.

Dr. Yang believes that this is the gene lock.

Only when a certain threshold is reached, it can be opened.

Li Chen gave Dr. Yang an approving look.

Worthy of being a genius.

Then he said to Xu Ruoxi: "Take out an energy core and let Dr. Yang guide you how to use it."

"yes!"

Xu Ruoxi was a little surprised, nodded and said.

Remember the Star Vault long ago.

The collection of energy cores has already begun.

Does it mean that Li Chen already knew the function of the energy core?

Thinking of this, Xu Ruoxi was shocked!

Hold the energy core in your hand.

According to Dr. Yang's guidance, Xu Ruoxi tried to extract the energy step by step.

soon.

Xu Ruoxi succeeded.

It's just that the energy is still not absorbed into the body, but scattered in the air.

There is only one gray empty energy core left in his hand.

"try again."

Li Chen said lightly.

Xu Ruoxi's various attribute points have reached the point.

It has been able to unlock the first layer of genetic locks.

There's no reason why they can't even absorb energy cores.

"yes."

Xu Ruoxi took a deep breath.

Take out an energy core again and put it in the palm of your hand.

According to the method just now, feel carefully.

Click—

In Dr. Yang's excited eyes.

The energy core in Xu Ruoxi's hand cracked a gap.

Then it shattered into powder!

And the energy in the energy core has been absorbed into Xu Ruoxi's body!

At this moment, Xu Ruoxi felt a cool energy constantly swimming in her body.

"Successful! Sure enough, sure enough!"

Dr. Yang happily circled around Xu Ruoxi.

I want to study the difference between Xu Ruoxi and the researchers.

"Continue to research, and carry out research on energy."

"It would be best to create an instrument to extract the energy in the energy core."

Li Chen nodded slightly.

Dr. Yang immediately took out his notebook and wrote it down.

He scratched his head, looked at Xu Ruoxi with fiery eyes and said, "Commander, can I borrow someone to use?"

"Can."

Li Chen nodded.

Dr. Yang got permission, and he was as happy as a child who eats candy.

But after a while, he turned on the smart bracelet again and continued.

"The research on the zombie virus has also made progress."

"Our researchers discovered that the zombie virus will evolve!"

"Under the microscope, even if there is no host, a single virion will become an independent individual. As long as energy substances are continuously provided, they will continue to upgrade!"

"If energy and matter are lost, zombie viruses will devour each other and achieve evolution."

"Its speed is roughly tenfold in 30 days!"

When Dr. Yang reported the research results.

His face was very serious.

Xu Ruoxi suddenly took a deep breath.

Although Li Chen had already heard the news that zombies would evolve.

Unexpectedly, it was so fast!

According to this speed, I believe that in a week or two at most, the entire Donghai City will become the world of second-order zombies!

This is not enough.

If you continue to let it develop.

Soon there will be 3rd, 4th...

"Humans, is there still a way out?"

Xu Ruoxi muttered to herself, her heart was full of despair.

She has already experienced the ability of the second-order zombies.

Easily tear apart trucks!

If it continues to evolve, can the shelter's defense really stop it?

Seeing Xu Ruoxi's expression, Li Chen said lightly.

"Don't be nervous, zombies will evolve, and so will humans."

"In the future, it's still uncertain who will win the game."

Maybe it was influenced by Li Chen.

Xu Ruoxi slowly calmed down.

Dr. Yang pushed his glasses and said with an ugly face: "After our research, we also found that zombie viruses can infect animals!"

animal?

Xu Ruoxi couldn't help but said: "Okay, Dr. Yang, don't be fooled, and explain clearly. What's going on?"

"The initial outbreak of the zombie virus, we call it a level 1 virus. Spread through blood and saliva, it will only affect primates. Humans and monkeys are both hosts."

"However, after evolution, it continues to mutate. Now it can cross-infect target cells!"

"Soon, everything that flies in the sky, walks on the ground, and swims in the water will all become one of the zombies!"

Dr. Yang's words brought the ultimate shock!

The zombie virus is scary though.

But now that humans have established shelters, they have gradually begun to stabilize.

As long as there is a thick enough wall, most zombies can be resisted.

But if even animals can be infected.

Isn't it hard to guard against?

When I was bitten by a mosquito before, I only felt a little itchy.

You may be infected in the future!

"However, currently the animals that can be infected are basically carnivorous or omnivorous animals. No infection cases have been found in vegetarian animals."

Dr. Yang took a breath before continuing.

"We currently believe that it may be because carnivores secrete some special substances in their bodies to decompose and absorb meat. Vegetarian animals do not."

"If you follow this direction, you will soon be able to develop an antidote to the virus."
