Indescribable cyberpunk

If all the laboratories in Qianfan City were to be ranked in terms of their busyness, then the Research Institute directly under the Institute of Epidemic Prevention would undoubtedly have its place in the top three.

From the moment the scavenger plan for lower-level communities is fully launched, this place as a disease research center inevitably enters full operation.

It was normal at first. The key to the research in the institute was the source of infection and how to effectively cure the infected people.

No one expected that the development of things would gradually deviate from the expected track. Halfway through the scavenger plan, it was discovered that the infected people who were supposed to be quarantined had unexpected mutations, and the weak patients turned into psychopaths. Pollution monster.

In view of the mutation of humans caused by the epidemic and their transformation into monsters that are like mental pollution sources, how to prevent this from happening again has become an urgent problem that needs to be overcome.

Although No. 35 Community Hospital, as the frontier station, was responsible for sample collection and first-hand data collection, the real research and research ultimately fell to the research institute.

Now the already busy work has become even worse with the jar of black and purple liquid brought by Newcastle. But who is the deputy director of the epidemic prevention station? He has repeatedly emphasized that this jar of pus should be given top priority. Level, the researchers below had to temporarily stop their work.

However, as the research progressed, the dangers of this jar of pus made everyone feel threatened, and the number of test items continued to increase.

The researcher in a white protective suit disinfected his whole body and left the laboratory. He took off his hood as he walked forward to make his breathing easier. Until he came to the corridor with a data recorder in hand, he saw the familiar figure at first sight. figure.

"Newcastle, Phase 2 Experimental Results"

Halfway through the conversation, the researcher noticed that Newcastle seemed to be asleep on the bench, with his head tilted to the side, and he could faintly hear some snoring.

Looking at the tired face of the middle-aged man, I thought for a while, turned around and sat down next to him, leaned my head against the wall, closed my eyes, and took a rare moment to relax.

This state did not last long before he was interrupted by a sound next to him. He turned around and saw Newcastle turning his neck cautiously, as if he was worried about disturbing him.

"Trop, thank you for your hard work."

Newcastle patted his old friend's thigh awkwardly. He didn't want to wake him up, but his neck was too sore and he couldn't help but want to turn around twice to slow down.

"Others say I work hard, and I admit it. As for you, forget it. It's really funny coming from your mouth. This is the result of the second phase of the experiment. Let's take a look. I have to admit that you are worried. That’s right, the danger of this thing is more serious than any disease we have encountered before!”

Putting the recorder into Newcastle's hand, Troph waited for his reply. Suddenly, as if he thought of something, he raised his head half-raised, looked at the checkered striped ceiling, and said coldly,

"We medical students are really hard-working. Look at the places that other deputy directors go to all day long. Rose Gold Restaurant, Times Nightclub, at least you must be a VIP. As for you, you deal with viruses all day long. Not to mention, you still have to worry about this kind of thing now, and you know the funniest thing is, the money those guys earn has to be added with two zeros after your salary!"

"Haha~ Since when did you even start thinking about this kind of thing? We are doctors, different from others. Don't talk about me, the deputy director, our mentor, and the director of the epidemic prevention center running here yesterday. , by the way, have you met the mentor?"

Looking at the data on the screen, Newcastle responded casually.

Troph and Newcastle were classmates and both were students of Grand.

"Mentor? When."

"A little after 12 o'clock, late at night, I was planning to come here to see the situation, but I met the instructor in the corridor. He said that he had gone to see an infected person."

"12 o'clock? No wonder I didn't see it. We were having a seminar at the time, and a few assistants in the experiment talked about it. The teacher is already so old, so you can find an opportunity to persuade him. Just leave these matters to us. , You have done very well in these years. To be honest, I am a little surprised. As soon as the epidemic appeared this time, the teacher suddenly came out, as if he had predicted in advance what would happen today."

Shrugging his shoulders, Troph searched for topics randomly, not to discuss anything, but simply to let his brain think about something else.

"Well within a hundred meters, the breath of an infected person will carry the virus, are you sure?"

Looking at the contents on the recorder, Newcastle's face became increasingly ugly.

"The data will not lie. Newcastle, where did you get that bottle of pus? This is very important. If there is a large amount of this stuff in the Ouroboros organization, the situation we will face next will be This is the most difficult epidemic prevention war since Qianfan City became a super city!"

When it came to business, Troph's smile completely disappeared, replaced by a serious look on his face.

"No, according to the information I got, Ouroboros doesn't have many of these things."

Cleverly avoiding Troph's questions, the exchange of information with Hannibal Lecter was a key channel for Newcastle to obtain information about the Ouroboros organization. He promised Dr. Lecter that he would not disclose this information to anyone. thing.

"Sure?"

"Of course, the news is reliable, so don't worry about it."

When Newcastle met with Zhu Jue this morning, he asked the question that Trop had just raised. The latter made it clear that this was something that Ouroboros cadres focused on preserving. Based on this, it was speculated that the quantity would definitely not be too much, but this The results of the second round of experiments still worried Newcastle, and he couldn't help but ask,

"Trop, tell me, how long will it take for the vaccine to be ready?"

"I don't know. It's been less than half a month since the outbreak of the epidemic, not to mention that there were mutations in lower-level communities in the middle. The institute has done its best to tackle the problem. If it were another epidemic, maybe a vaccine would have been developed. It’s operational, but this time it’s different, and all I can say is get it done as quickly as possible at all costs.”

With the level of modern science and technology, ordinary viruses have been thoroughly analyzed, and the production of vaccines has begun step by step. However, this virus obviously has its own special characteristics, and even Trop can't guarantee anything.

"I understand. Keep working hard. I have to report this situation to the government immediately and ask them to let Heaven monitor the densely populated areas of Qianfan City immediately. The security department must also be on standby at any time. Let's go first and wait for this time. Now that the matter is over, I’ll treat you to a drink, the place is your choice.”

After tapping his old classmate twice on the shoulder, Newcastle picked up the data recorder and stood up to leave. It wasn't time to reminisce yet.

He quickly arrived outside the institute, and the airship was waiting at the door.

Newcastle breathed a sigh of relief and turned his gaze to the sky.

Under the dark sky.

Snowflakes filled the sky.
