Indescribable cyberpunk

In a transparent culture chamber in the laboratory of the epidemic prevention center.

Several robotic arms equipped with different instruments at the front are working around the spinous flesh ball fixed with dozens of silver metal pillars inside.

Slice, analyze, and get the data, and then match it one by one with the other pharmaceutical data in the database. After getting a certain result, it will be returned to the original echinodermal flesh ball tissue.

Dozens of researchers shuttled throughout the laboratory, controlling various instruments, monitoring changes in data, and looking forward to the moment of success.

Although the Thousand Sail City government has confirmed in several encounters with the Ouroboros organization that the people in the lower community were not infected because of some unknown disease that suddenly broke out in Thousand Sail City, it is undeniable that the bodies of the infected people have indeed been affected. Only the influence of a certain special substance can cause mutations in ordinary people.

This is actually almost the same as the situation caused by the spread of the virus.

Not to mention that with the emergence of contaminated areas, the original argument that flesh-to-blood transmission is the only way has been completely overturned.

As long as they are within the scope of the contaminated area, almost no one can resist the invasion of the human body by the source of infection. The fact that no survivors have been found in the contaminated area of ​​Community No. 37 is the best proof!

Who can guarantee that the same polluted areas will not appear in other communities in downtown in the future?

In addition, news of human experiments conducted by the Ouroboros organization has also been learned. What if they develop an infectious virus that can be transmitted in a more direct way in the future?

It is necessary to find a way to contain or prevent this bad situation, which has become the primary goal of the Qianfan City government now.

This task naturally falls on the head of the epidemic prevention center.

The task given by the Qianfan City government is quite brief. They require the epidemic prevention department to do everything possible to find a way to neutralize the source of infection. It is best to produce preventive vaccines for certain diseases, so as to let the public know in advance. The virus develops resistance.

However, it is easy to say, but it takes a lot of resources to do it.

Almost all the staff of the epidemic prevention center are now on the battle, and they have also sought help from Life Medical to jointly tackle the problem.

In order to overcome this problem as soon as possible, pure theory and small-scale experiments in the laboratory are obviously not enough. They need more intuitive experimental data.

Therefore, in addition to serving as a frontline command post, the community hospital in Community No. 35 also assumes part of the experimental function under the tasks assigned by the Qianfan City government and the urgent needs of the epidemic prevention center.

But in the final analysis, the community hospital is just a building in a low-level community. Not to mention cutting-edge experimental equipment, even the network signal has been cut off due to the loss of authority from heaven. Under such circumstances, most experiments are impossible to achieve.

So Director Ge Lang personally issued the order.

Community hospitals are required to put aside all cumbersome experimental projects and conduct only one experiment.

Clinical testing of infectious agents!

This decision can be said to take advantage of the only advantage of the community hospital compared to the epidemic prevention center and the two laboratories of the Life Medical Group.

It's on the front lines of Project Scavenger!

To put it simply, most of the data analysis and production of special medicines are handled by the Epidemic Prevention Institute and the Life Medical Group. What the temporary laboratories in the community hospitals have to do is to use their results. As long as the infected individuals are caught, , you can immediately put into experiments, obtain corresponding data and provide feedback as soon as possible.

This method of division of labor saves the transportation and processing of infected bodies and greatly improves efficiency, so it was quickly approved by the top officials of the Qianfan City government.

So the third floor of the community hospital was completely transformed into an experimental area.

No one is allowed to enter except for researchers from the Epidemic Prevention Institute and soldiers sent by the Security Department.

Temporarily installed lighting lamps were hung in rows in the space between the window frame of the corridor and the ceiling. Due to insufficient power supply, only three temporary wall lamps were installed in the entire corridor. The white lights mixed with the red and blue colors reflected from the window. The warning lights blended into a strange sight against the dark gap.

At some point, a figure appeared at the stairs at the end of the corridor.

Wearing a mental protection device, Lawrence put his hands in his pockets and walked slowly into the corridor.

I stopped by a ward and observed the situation inside the room through the glass on the door.

The room originally used to house patients has now become a cage for monsters. Infections with strange shapes are tied up in iron cages by several thick iron chains. Several researchers wearing protective clothing are holding smart tablets and watching. A soldier with a gun shoots the caged monster.

After the trigger was pulled, what sounded was not the sound of a gun, nor was the bullet fired from the muzzle, but a slender syringe about one finger long, which naturally contained the prepared medicine.

In just a few seconds, the infected body in the cage began to struggle crazily, constantly trying to impact the iron cage, but this was just in vain.

The combat effectiveness of infected bodies is also divided into levels. The infected bodies that can be captured alive and used as experimental subjects are naturally the weakest ones.

A few minutes later, the infected body fell silent again, and its limbs still showed a terrifying posture without any change. Several research institutes looked at each other and shook their heads.

Obviously, this was another failed attempt.

Lawrence outside the door withdrew his gaze, no trace of disappointment on his face, turned around and continued walking to the other side of the corridor, not stopping until he reached the door of the doctor's office on the third floor.

"Mr. Lawrence!"

Two armed soldiers saluted with chests raised.

"Well, thank you for your hard work."

He responded casually and raised his hand to open the door.

The smell of disinfectant hit his face, and Lawrence, who had long been accustomed to this smell, stepped in without changing his expression.

Some of the appliances originally placed in the room have been cleared away and replaced by some small refrigerated warehouses and pharmaceutical preparation devices. These things do not require complicated installation steps and can be taken and used. At this time, several researchers are working Busy on the edge.

"How's the experiment going?"

Glancing at the discarded sealed test tubes in the trash can, Lawrence asked aloud.

"We are not optimistic. The nature of this virus is extremely special. The experience accumulated by the epidemic prevention center cannot provide us with help. Although we have found a vague direction relying on some secret information and special materials, we are still in the exploratory stage."

Noticing Lawrence's arrival, the leader of the research team here quickly stood up.

"I have read that part of the secret information. It records the data of human experiments. That alone is not enough. If we want to develop drugs that can resist the source of infection as soon as possible, we need more references. The Ministry of Security or the Epidemic Prevention Center Can Bian think of another way? Since we can get this level of secret information, maybe we can get more, right?"

He casually pulled out a glass test tube, shook it gently, and watched the translucent liquid oscillate back and forth in the test tube. Lawrence leaned on the edge of the table, motioned for the researchers to sit down, and continued,

"In fact, I'm more curious about why the Epidemic Control Center suddenly obtained this part of the information. No matter how you look at it, this kind of human experimental data is an internal secret of the Ouroboros organization. Could it be that we have an informant in the Ouroboros organization?"

"Perhaps this information did appear suddenly. We didn't receive any relevant news before coming here, and the deputy director of Newcastle never mentioned it. However, it may also be something provided by the Ministry of Security. After all, they are He is the main force responsible for dealing with terrorist organizations."

Perhaps it was because they had been conducting experiments for so long that they finally caught a legitimate opportunity to rest, but the researchers didn't want to waste it.

"Do you know the new Mr. Fox? He is the gentleman assigned by the deputy director of Newcastle to help. I thought he was an expert on epidemics, but I didn't expect that he had no intention of participating in our work. It seems that Really just a supervisor?"

Lawrence turned to another subject.

"I don't know him. In fact, I have never seen him at the epidemic prevention center before. I heard that he is a person sent by the Ministry of Security. He knows a lot of inside information. As you said, I think he should be sent by the government to supervise People working on site.”

"You've never seen him at the epidemic prevention center?"

After repeating the researcher's words, Lawrence seemed a little surprised,

"you sure?"

"Of course, I have worked in the epidemic prevention center for 6 years. I may not recognize all the staff at the bottom, but I recognize all the middle and high-level staff. If Mr. Fox is an employee of the epidemic prevention center, I must have met him before."

As an old employee of the epidemic prevention center, he has considerable confidence in this aspect.

"It seems that they are indeed from the security department. I'll go check out the experimental conditions outside. You can continue your work."

"Walk slowly!"

The researcher subconsciously stood up to send it off, but Lawrence pushed him back into his chair.

Leave the room and return to the hallway.

Passing by the previous laboratory, Lawrence just glanced at the situation inside and left the third floor without looking back.
