    Chapter 28 Vaccine

    Looking at the city in front of him that looked like a world of hungry ghosts, Lin Xiang couldn't help but tremble.  He could even hear the "de" sound from the violent collision of his teeth in his mouth.

    Now, it¡¯s a city.

    In the future, will the virus spread to the entire world?

    "Damn¡ª¡ª"

    Lin Xiang, whose mind was occupied by fear and anger, sprayed out blazing flames from his palms, instantly covering the young woman's body.  The high temperature caused a series of blisters on her delicate face, the overripe muscles peeled off piece by piece, and the innermost layer of plasma and omentum turned into burnt black attachments Soon, the beautiful young woman was completely burned, leaving only  A few pieces of bones exuded a warm smell in the embers.

    He broke free from the palms that were holding his ankles and used his thick soles to crush the brittle corpse into black powder.  Lin Xiang desperately controlled the anger that was about to reach the edge of collapse, staggered, and struggled to rush into the group of resurrected corpses.

    He no longer has the power to release biological flames, but he can still pierce the head of a living corpse with a dagger and return the dead soul to darkness.

    one.

    two.

    Three.

    Dead bodies with their heads cut off lay scattered on the empty streets.  Dark red pus flowed from the fracture in the neck, forming an irregular wet mark on the dry ground.  The limbs remaining on the torso twitched unconsciously, the stained five fingers tremblingly stretched out to the shoulders, groping back and forth for the no longer present head, and the legs twisted and kicked back and forth under the control of the remaining nerves, as if trying to find something.  Reliable support allowed me to stand up again, but I could never achieve it.

    Lin Xiang felt that every drop of blood in his body was boiling. The turbulent liquid was furiously attacking the fragile blood vessels. The terrible high temperature made his brain dizzy. The rapidly consumed energy could no longer maintain the normal operation of the body. The thin  The oxygen made him feel almost suffocated, and his steps that could not maintain flexibility became more and more clumsy Next to a cold and thick terrazzo wall, he collapsed like mud.

    Physical exertion has reached its limit.

    On the street behind him, there were more than fifty living corpses with their heads cut off.

    In the distance, more resurrected people climbed up from the ruins, swaying their bodies, taking steps that were unable to maintain balance but not fall, and slowly staggered towards here.  The swollen eyeballs filled with yellow-green rotting water revealed the desire and greed for fresh meat.

    Lin Xiang felt that he was like an exhausted lion, and the slowly approaching corpses were hyenas surrounding him.

    There is no doubt that a powerful lion can easily tear apart any hyena.  Likewise, a hungry hyena will not pass up the opportunity to hunt a depleted lion.

    The body of a strong person is also meat. When eaten in the mouth, it will be more chewy, chewy and nutritious.

    "Is this my fate to divide and eat?"

    Looking at the dense group of corpses in the distance, Lin Xiang's mind went blank.  He was powerless to resist and just wanted to fall asleep like this and never wake up again

    "Boom¡ª¡ª"

    A huge red flame exploded in the center of the corpse group along with a harsh scream.  Scattered flesh and blood and cracked mud and rocks were scattered everywhere.

    This is the power of 70mm rockets.

    In a daze, Lin Xiang used his remaining strength to focus his gaze above his head. What suddenly came into view was a military "Zhi-Fifteen" armed helicopter and Qi Yue's familiar face in the transparent cockpit.

    "We need a vaccine."

    "Without immunity, it is impossible to block the attack of mutated creatures¡ª¡ª"

    "What on earth is the scientific research department doing? What is the use of the country spending so much money every year? Why is it always unable to come up with what we need most at critical moments?"

    Looking at the thick pile of reports on the table, Chief of General Staff Lu Yulin's old eyes revealed undisguised helplessness and anxiety.

    The remnants of the 21st Group Army, which returned from the Southwest Front, are replenishing personnel and weapons.  Surprisingly, officers at all levels of the army do not seem to care about this. The two most frequently used words in the combat reports they submitted are "vaccine".

    First, withdraw the two reorganized divisions in the rear. Under normal full strength, the number of troops should exceed 40,000.  However, the number of survivors who returned from the front was only eight percent of this number.

    More than 90% of the battle damage has been classified as "total annihilation".  However, on the casualty statistics of the two divisions, the number under the "killed in battle" column only accounts for 17% of the total number of soldiers.

    The rest of the people,?? is the wounded.

    Either lost their hands or feet, or suffered minor injuries that were not fatal. In the end, none of them survived.  According to the order, all injured must be "treated" within six hours.  Tens of thousands of confirmed wounded, regardless of severity, will be killed on the spot.

    When fighting against mutants, getting injured means death.

    The series of cold numbers on the report form made Lu Yulin feel his heart bleed.

    "One's own people kill one's own people. This has never happened in the history of the Republic."

    However, it has to be done.

    Once the specified time limit is exceeded, the injured soldiers will be infected by the virus and turn into cruel and murderous black monsters.  By that time, more people will die.

    vaccine.

    When will a vaccine be developed?

    This is not only the wish of the general, but also the most urgent expectation of all those who hope to end the nightmare forever.

    Department of Military Research, National Academy of Sciences, 12:45 p.m.

    Staying up late is the biggest killer of women¡¯s beauty.  This sentence does not seem to apply to Fang Yujie.

    The wide white uniform could not hide the curvy and proud figure at all. The slender and straight neck was as white as snow. Although there was no makeup, the simple face showed a beauty that made most women jealous.  Especially the coldness and arrogance emanating from her body make people feel that there is a potential temptation and inaccessible chill.

    Slender fingers slowly adjusted the distance of the electron microscope. Looking at the thin drop of nutrients under the lens, a slight wrinkle appeared on Fang Yujie's smooth forehead.

    Like all viruses, r12 must be parasitic in living cells and replicate in order to continue to survive.

    That is not an ordinary concept of parasitism. Using words such as "seizure" and "plunder" seems to better illustrate its terrifying characteristics.

    The virus is highly parasitic and completely relies on the energy and metabolic system of the host cell to obtain the materials and energy required for life activities. When it leaves the host cell, it is just a large chemical molecule. When it stops moving, it can be made into protein crystals and become a non-toxic substance.  When a living body encounters a host cell, it will display typical characteristics of a living body by adsorbing, entering, replicating, assembling, and releasing progeny viruses. Therefore, the virus is a primitive living body between living things and non-living things.

    r12 is completely different from viruses in the ordinary sense.

    It also relies on the host's cells to maintain life, but it forcibly changes the cells' inherent survival mode, prompting the cells to divide at an abnormal speed, resulting in a fanatical demand for energy.  Forcing the host to obtain replenishment from the outside world at a faster rate.  This has been proven by the living corpses captured by the 21st Army.

    Fighting against r12 is actually not as difficult as imagined.  As long as it can suppress that crazy speed and slow down the burning of cellular energy, it is no different from an ordinary virus.

    The question is, how can we do this without changing the chromosomal characteristics and biological gene chains?

    Countless experiments have proven that human fragile matrix proteins are simply unable to accept powerful debilitating vaccines.  Once injected, while inhibiting r12, it will also cause various physiological functions to terminate within 24 hours.  The only function of this kind of thing is probably to allow those infected to die without pain in the name of "humanity".

    What Fang Yujie is looking for is the balance between depletion and expansion.

    But, where is it

    "Clang¡ª¡ª"

    Suddenly, there was an unclear metal collision sound outside the window, which was also mixed with faint roars and screams.

    Fang Yujie was not interested in checking what happened.  She was still sitting in the leather swivel chair, looking at the dense analysis data on the computer screen carefully through the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose.  The chaos happening outside has no impact on her.

    This is a military controlled area.  No matter what happens, it will be handled by the guarding troops.

    Half an hour later, as the unique rhythm of soldiers¡¯ footsteps came from the corridor, the figure of the officer on duty appeared on the electronic intercom next to the experimental table.

    "Dr. Fang, we have just captured a middle-aged man who broke into the jurisdiction without authorization. He claimed that he had important matters that he must discuss with you in person."

    "No -"

    Fang Yujie¡¯s tone was cold and tough.  It's not that she is cold by nature, but that too many suitors who covet beauty have used this disgusting method indiscriminately.

    "But, he mentioned r12" the officer on duty interjected cautiously.

    "What?" Fang Yujie was shocked and clearLi's face showed a bit of unexpected surprise.

    The existence of r12 is classified.  Only relevant personnel within the system will know the meaning of this special symbol.  They could have made an appointment with him openly, so why would they resort to such abnormal means as forcing their way in?

    "Has the other party's identity been verified?" She took a deep breath and regained her composure.

    "All details have been reviewed." The officer on duty glanced at the interrogation record in his hand: "His name is Qian Ziming, and he is a fourth-level researcher at Southern Medical Company. His ID number"

    ¡°Take him to the reception room immediately, I will be there in five minutes¡ª¡ª¡±

    With a rigidly cold and uncompromising tone, Fang Yujie turned off the communicator, stood up from her chair, and clicked on the electronic lock on the laboratory door.

    Southern Pharmaceutical Company is one of the private institutions involved in vaccine research.
