Doomsday Fast Travel: Kill That Black Butterfly

Chapter 48 The Pain of Breathing (48)

Author: Jie Wuming

Yu Di and Cheng Die looked at each other, and Cheng Die took out the hard drive.

"On the way back, we encountered an army from the Class A City Alliance. We only have so much research data left, and we haven't had time to see if there is any data damage."

Pei Yujun connected the hard drive to the conference room screen: "Let's take a look. Is there no virus here?"

"Of course not." Cheng Die looked at him.

Pei Yujun smiled and said: "Don't think I'm verbose. There was a clerk who used unknown disks indiscriminately and almost caused the entire shelter to lose power."

After checking and killing everything, Pei Yujun opened the files on the hard drive in the sandbox. A bunch of files popped up on the screen. He put on his glasses and squinted to look at it carefully: "There is some damage, but it should be repairable. Please wait a moment.

.”

As he spoke, he began to operate, obviously very familiar with these things.

When Yu Di stayed in the shelter, he searched for this person with the system. As a complete purification sect, this person has never wavered in his position in all event lines, as long as he is not dead, crippled, crazy or stupid.

You may have forgotten that there used to be a security manager named Zhu Zhen in City 164. When Yu Di died, Zhu Zhen lived for a long time and was against the Purification Sect. It was also Pei Yujun who supported Yu Hongfeng.

When Yu Di entered City 164 this time, he met Zhu Zhen once. However, when City 164 became the leader, Yu Hongfeng began to seize power. Because he was involved in the A-level city alliance, he was slowly pushed to the edge.

.Yu Di accidentally overheard a subordinate reporting to Yu Hongfeng that Zhu Zhen had died of albinism this time.

After all, Yu Di still doesn't quite understand what this albinism is. The information she can find is at most some events related to the patient before he completely lost his mind. If Yu Di wants to watch the drama of life and death, these events are probably still there.

It can play some role. For albinism itself, this thing has no meaning.

Yu Di thought rather self-deprecatingly, now we can be regarded as people who have seen the world. She herself has forgotten how many people she has checked related events from the system, and her good memory, which she is proud of, cannot remember all these people.

Remember, countless life trajectories intersect with each other, and sooner or later, because of a certain event, they may be related, or the original relationship may be dissolved.

Yu Di has been paying attention to these specific events for a long time. She always feels that these events are very crucial, and she has been trying to separate out a common point from them, perhaps a trigger point, and a certain behavior can trigger such a turning event, so that she

She can try to create a turning event on her own, thereby affecting the event line of the people associated with it; or perhaps a way to cut off the influence of those specific events, allowing her to eliminate some "" that are not conducive to the mission.

inevitable".

Yu Di, who has little power, can only influence the world in this way.

She always whines to the system, why she has to suffer so much, why can't she be like in the novel, where gods and demons are fearless and kill everyone. Although the system ignores her, she later realizes that the piece that the system helped her choose in the first place

The graveyard, the alkaline melon dug out from the graveyard, is her novice aura.

Otherwise, if she has nothing in her hands, how can she make people in this world believe in her?

After about twenty minutes, Pei Yujun was done. He projected the file on the screen onto the screen again, took off his glasses, put his hands together, and motioned for Yu Di to explain.

"Tell me, what is this?"

Cheng Die spoke: "Let me tell you."

She stood up, walked to Tongping, and picked up a pointer.

"We went on an expedition to the southern cave. You may have heard of that cave. The person who invented the targeted enzyme in the last century went there. I won't go into details about that cave here. I

Mainly talk about the discoveries related to the decay layer.

"The information is not very complete. This photo only captures half of the cave wall. Although the light is insufficient, you can still clearly see that someone used carbon paint to draw some numbers on the cave wall. These numbers are related to the target enzyme.

The structure is strongly related and should be the draft, or predecessor, of the final structure.

"On the other lost pictures, there were some numbers that were clearly related to the structure of the crystallized sample I separated in the decay layer, so I applied the formula of the targeted enzyme to convert its structure. I found in the conversion results

It was discovered that those crystals that we previously thought were inorganic function very much like some kind of shell.

"I checked a lot of information and found that the structure of the content protected by this inorganic crystal is somewhat similar to the sweet potato virus before the disaster. You can understand it as a lethal plant virus, and its appearance is very confusing.

It has a shell structure. I temporarily named it alkaline melon wilt virus.

"Because it has a very strong outer shell, the virus can remain dormant in the decay layer and cannot be detected. At the same time, the spread range is also limited to the decay layer, which creates space for our planting."

When Pei Yujun heard this, he raised his hand and interrupted: "The planting problem can be solved for the time being. I would like to know more, is there any connection between albinism and this virus? Do you have any way to solve this problem?

"

"Yes." Cheng Die opened another half-packed document and said helplessly, "Let's just take a look at it. This data is a blood sample of some early-stage albinism patients in Class C 037 City. I originally planned to return to the shelter and analyze it again.

Comparing the two, now not only are the samples taken from the cave gone, but also the blood samples that have been analyzed are gone. I can only make speculations and conjectures based on the data in my memory.

"The transformation position of the plant stem cell gene caused by the alkaline wilt virus is exactly the same as the gene position mutated in albinism patients, both of which affect endocrine. Alkali wilt virus shows black roots and shrinking leaves, while albinism patients show

It is caused by scaly skin and disordered brain electrical signals, which means loss of sanity.”

When Pei Yujun heard this, he frowned: "Are plant genes and human genes comparable?"

Cheng Die lowered her eyes and looked at him: "It doesn't exist in most places, but the reason why I am so sure that the two are related is because the place where the change happened happens to be the few homologous genes between the two. I don't think this is the case.

It's a coincidence."

"You continue." Pei Yujun nodded.

"So I took bone marrow samples from patients with mid-to-late stage albinism and wanted to test them." Speaking of this, Cheng Die spread his hands, "I only have one sample. Although the mutation points have been analyzed, I don't have the equipment to do it.

Even if we isolate it, there is no way to synthesize new related targeted enzymes to reset this mutation. We brought the sample and wanted to come to the shelter to continue research, but we met the Class A City Alliance."

Pei Yujun nodded: "Then I understand what you mean. We have never been able to find the cause of the mutation before. In fact, it is related to the rot layer virus we came into contact with. Do you think we can use it to restore the patient's gene expression?

,Is it right?"

Cheng Die nodded and said hesitantly: "Patients in the early stage may be saved, but patients in the middle and late stages may be saved."

Pei Yujun shook his head knowingly: "It's good to be able to save early-stage patients." He stood up and returned the hard drive to Cheng Die, "Thank you for your hard work, go and rest first. If you still want to do research, there is

If you have any needs, you can ask Li Yuan. Yu Di, come with me, and I will take you to see Yu Hongfeng."
