Ahem, please read it again in ten minutes and make some corrections.

Seemingly noticing something, the men quickly turned around and pointed their guns at Catherine.

"Doesn't it seem like an ordinary incident? If you think about it, you guys are probably here for this car, right?"

Catherine squinted at the group of people.

To be honest, Catherine's reaction to this incident was terrible.

When you come out on your own, you should be a superhero.

But now...why do I feel like I have become the rescuer?

Obviously on the way to Los Angeles, Catherine encountered an accident at home?

Ha, are you kidding me?

Catherine absolutely didn't want to know what the so-called "abnormality" was, but Catherine knew that the truck could not be destroyed now.

Ever since the last time something similar to something similar to a certain Resident Evil movie appeared, Catherine's opinion of Jenny's moderation has become negative.

She definitely didn't want to know what research Jenny was doing.

In order to prevent the world from being destroyed and to maintain world peace, Catherine bravely stood up.

...I don’t know why, but Catherine always feels that if the car is allowed to self-destruct now, it may cause a worrying and terrifying situation. Relatively speaking, Catherine thinks that it may be towed away, and it may still be destroyed.

Is it a good thing...?

Although she didn't know who these people were, after seeing these people pointing guns at her, Catherine knew that things couldn't go wrong.

"Hey, I'm not sure how long this car has been parked..."

Catherine sighed, and a short blade appeared in her hand. Although she wanted to complain about Miss Samus Alan, she should have used a gun. But Catherine did not have that condition now, so she could only use this thing.

.

She rushed over quickly, and her agility allowed her to rush in front of the person who kidnapped Liang Chao. Then she slashed his throat with a knife!

Blood spurted onto Liang Chao's body.

At this time, Liang Chao seemed to wake up.

Liang Chao seemed to have seen the appearance of the woman in front of him somewhere, but in a daze, Liang Chao couldn't remember it.

"Okay, it should be time to rest now..."

Saying this, Catherine started to move like the wind.

"Do it!"

This group of people did not hesitate. They rushed over immediately. Then they fired at Catherine with pistols.

But Catherine did not dodge at all. Instead, she looked at these people as if they were mocking them.

"snort."

The moment the bullet hit Catherine, it had already bounced off or shattered.

But Catherine's body was hardly hindered, and she quickly knocked down all these people. Then, Catherine made handcuffs and cuffed these people one by one.

——The handcuffs were made thanks to Catherine’s black clay.

After leaving its own body, the black mud will lose its energy source and become a pile of purely useless furnishings. But if the new station is

"Password, tell me quickly, if you don't want to see your car kill you."

"Who are you……?"

Liang Chao is still immersed in the opponent's series of actions that were like flowing water. The opponent almost did it in one go. After cutting the throat of the person who hijacked him, the opponent quickly jumped away, and then punched these people one by one.

Knock them all down.

Not to mention, she suddenly conjured up strange handcuffs like a magic trick.

"Catherine Edson. Your boss."

Catherine couldn't help it.

"ah!"

At this time, Liang Chao's confused mind finally reacted.

By the way...no wonder it feels so familiar to me.

This face...isn't he his boss?!

Catherine Edson, Liang Chao quite likes her films, but she has stopped acting for many years.

However, after arriving at the protective umbrella, Liang Chao discovered that his boss was Miss Catherine Edson!

"Hurry up, the self-destruction will begin soon..."

Catherine urged the other party.

"Oh...oh, oh."

Liang Chao immediately went over and opened the car.

At this time, Catherine breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that there is no need to worry about that strange "aberration" now.

At least it won't explode.

"Get all these people up there."

Except for the man whose throat was cut by Catherine, everyone else fainted directly after Catherine punched him.

With bonus power, if you want to knock all these people out at this time, don't be too simple...

"hurry up."

"oh oh."

Liang Chao glanced at his boss with complicated eyes.

Although he knew it was to save himself, the scene when Catherine pounced on him and cut the enemy's throat lingered in Liang Chao's mind.

That moment was truly terrifying.

After "connecting" everyone on the top of the car, Catherine got into the passenger seat of the car.

Liang Chao, after disposing of the corpses, returned to the car.

But as soon as he returned, he was shocked. Because at this time, Catherine was actually wearing a dress!

Wait, where was the tights from earlier?

Why did it suddenly become a dress?

This is not scientific!

"Let's go!"

Catherine urged.

"Oh...oh oh."

Liang Chao quickly got into his seat and started the car.

Jenny's voice began to appear in Catherine's mind.

"You're welcome, I'm just worried that something more extraordinary might appear after the self-destruction."

Catherine couldn't help but complain.

"Something more amazing? Come on, Kate. I'm not that powerful yet, what more amazing thing will there be..."

Jenny seemed to find it a little funny.

"I said, they are just some deformed corpses. They were taken to Laiken City just for the convenience of research and transfer..."

"Why should it be placed in Laiken?"

"Ahem...didn't you say that place is about to become a new research and development base?"

Surely that's not what you were thinking just now, right?

Definitely not!

What's going on with that cough?!

What's with that hesitation?!

Don't try to lie to me, how can you cultivate!

This chapter

Dominate

Hand typing) Jenny probably felt that the experiment would be too dangerous if placed in the school district.

Relatively speaking, the city of Laiken, which is within Catherine's sphere of influence, seems to be very convenient because it is sparsely populated and has little passenger flow.

If a problem arises in that place, then it will probably be very simple to solve it...?

"What exactly are aberrations?"

Catherine couldn't help but asked curiously.

"It's just human beings... okay. It's actually not exactly the same. The aberrations appeared when we tried to modify the human body... Mr. Hayfrick also participated in this experiment."

"Hayfrick?"

Why is there still such a person?

"Yes, he has been studying cellular memory and gene selection recently. Such experiments will certainly bring a lot of inspiration to Mr. Hayfrick."

Although she couldn't see Jenny's expression, Catherine guessed that Jenny really didn't take this matter too seriously.

"Besides, this is not what we originally started researching. We are just following the footsteps of others to carry out our own work..."

Okay, now I'm starting to shirk responsibility.

"Who else?"

Catherine asked angrily.

Originally, Catherine was planning to go to Los Angeles at this time, but for this thing, Catherine thought it would be better to take this guy with her to Laiken City first...

"By the way, I haven't asked yet, what's your name?"

At this time, Catherine still didn’t know Liang Chao’s name.,

"My name is Liang Chao...oh, yes..." Liang Chao was too nervous and directly said his Chinese name, but he immediately wanted to say his English name.

"Oh, that's it."

Catherine didn't care about this, so she just closed her eyes and rested.

Liang Chao, who was a little embarrassed, couldn't continue to ask questions and just continued driving.

"In fact, our research was originally initiated by Annalee Newitz's drug research group in the school district, who claimed that they had discovered a mechanism of pancreatic cancer. This pancreatic cancer, called pancreatic cancer, is related to two

It is related to mutations in two genes. Specifically, these two genes will have an impact on DNA related to human lifespan."

At this time, Jenny was explaining the origin of the whole incident to Catherine on the other side.

"The extension of lifespan has always been a subject of interest to countless researchers. When it comes to human lifespan, we cannot fail to mention telomeres, which are closely related to it. Telomeres are a part of the end of chromosomes, which will continue to grow with age.

Shortening. Therefore, some scientists believe that maintaining the length of telomeres can extend lifespan to a certain extent. Kate, your alternating protein seems to play a similar role. There is no doubt that alternating protein can repair telomeres."

"Pan patients will have mutations in two genes, and the functions of the proteins encoded by the mutated genes will also change. The mutated proteins no longer make telomeres shorter as life span increases, but go against the will of nature, making

Telomere growth. From this, they believe this cancer may provide humans with the genetic tools to extend lifespan."

The origin of the matter seems to be quite good.

"But the question is, what will an extended life with cancer look like?"

"Cell death is the fundamental reason why life cannot continue. Currently, we divide cell death into two categories: non-programmed and programmed. Non-programmed death is generally passive and refers to the inability of cells to survive in the face of harsh biochemical environments.

of necrosis. But this does not mean that the biochemical environment

If the cells are suitable, they can survive forever. Even if the cells can avoid the risk of premature death, they cannot escape the end of life caused by programmed death. Aged cells will activate their own apoptosis mechanism under specific signals and pass through a process.

A series of changes in morphology and function, ultimately leading to cell inactivation."

If it were the original world, there might be only one way to keep cells alive - cancer.

The only thing that can escape the fate of death is cancer cells.

"For patients with this kind of pancreatic cancer, elongated telomeres are what allow the cancer cells to survive. Cancerous cells are zombies in the cells. They have lost their normal functions. They travel in the human body in a uniform and rigid manner.

Everything you do is just to infect others and copy yourself - just immortality, not eternal life."

"In order to transform this meaningless immortality into meaningful immortality, we are conducting experiments like this. Hayfrick also feels that if we can re-differentiate cancer cells and maintain their vitality, maybe we can

That’s almost it.”

"Then...you created these aberrations?"

I don't know why. Catherine felt a chill running down her spine.

No, I'm having a chill...

"Allah, Kate, there are actually many zombies in nature, the most famous one is Cordyceps sinensis. It is formed by the infection of bat moth larvae by the Cordyceps sinensis fungus."

Catherine also knows this. The so-called Cordyceps sinensis means that the larvae of bat moths live underground, and the spores of the Cordyceps fungus will penetrate into the ground through water and specifically infect them. The larvae are originally deep underground, but after being infected by the fungus, they will gradually crawl away from the ground.

Two to three centimeters above the ground, it dies head-down and tail-down. In this way, the fruiting bodies of the Cordyceps sinensis can smoothly protrude out of the ground and emit spores to spread to the next generation. This is Cordyceps sinensis.

"But Jenny, why did you suddenly say zombies?"

"No, it's nothing, Kate, you don't have to worry about it."

What does it mean not to care!

"Listen, Jenny, I don't care what terrible things you are researching, but I hope that your research can be slightly restricted..."

Catherine advised Jenny.

Let us first assume that zombies use our most commonly used aerobic respiration method. This brings up a new question. What does zombie muscle tissue use to obtain oxygen? Is it blood? As mentioned earlier, zombie blood has coagulated after death.

.What about through the skin? But it seems that the speed of oxygen penetrating into the skin is quite slow, and it is impossible to support muscle tissue for aerobic exercise.

.What about through the skin? But it seems that the speed of oxygen penetrating into the skin is quite slow, and it is impossible to support muscle tissue for aerobic exercise.

Okay, it seems that the path of aerobic exercise is blocked, so our cute zombie friend may have chosen a more special way of anaerobic respiration to obtain energy for exercise.

ol glucose, only 61.08kj of energy is stored in ATP, which is about 1% of aerobic respiration.

19. The efficiency is frighteningly low.

Therefore, anaerobic breathing zombies can only have very low movement ability, which may be similar to that of a turtle. In this way, the only way it can kill you is to scare you to death. Another point is that anaerobic breathing will produce

Some harmful products such as:

U acid, alcohol, if the zombie breathes anaerobically, the zombie can self-destruct, and it will accumulate in its own body

Acid and alcohol can cause muscle tissue to collapse.

Above, I refuted the existence of zombies by analyzing their possible breathing methods. Next, I will use another knowledge that everyone learned in high school physics to prove my point. This is the great law of energy conservation.

It points out that the energy in this world cannot appear out of thin air and must be converted from other energies.

In movies, we often see a group of zombies walking around aimlessly on the street, but the question is what do they eat? What do they rely on to provide energy for their constant movement? There are two possible directions here:

1. Like humans, food is taken in from the outside to maintain the body’s energy supply;

2. Rely on the fat and protein in your own body to provide energy.

If it is 1, then the problem is very complicated. What do zombies eat? In the movie, zombies only kill or injure people to increase the number of their kind, but do not eat them, and the zombies do not eat each other, at least in the movie

There are no fiery scenes of zombies vs. zombies.

Then we have to assume it is 2, but here I have to wonder, how long can zombies be active? Is it really like what the movie said, can it be active for years to decades? The answer is of course no, everyone knows that Wenchuan

Earthquake, there was a "strong pig" who survived for 36 days without food, but the price he paid was that his weight was reduced from 150 kilograms to 50 kilograms. This incident tells us that if zombies also want to rely on

If we solve the energy problem by ourselves, everyone will starve to death within a month.
