My Life Simulator

There is a ghost that has been lurking in nature for hundreds of millions of years, lurking around us.

It's a prion.

The existence of prions is very ancient, and the distribution range is very wide. Prions may exist in cattle, sheep, deer, humans, etc. animals.

Prions will erode the nervous system of the creature, confuse the neural circuits of the creature's brain, leaving only the instinct of eating and reproduction, and become crazy and violent, which is equivalent to becoming a "zombie".

Prions are also known as "zombie viruses".

This is a very special, very strange existence.

So far, the scientific community has not been able to figure out what a prion is.

Essentially, a prion is a protein molecule, and it's not a virus at all.

Viruses are made up of a layer of protein that wraps the viral DNA. However, prions only have protein molecules, but no DNA, it is the protein itself.

It stands to reason that without DNA information, there is no conditions for replication and proliferation. However, prions have the ability to replicate, and they can convert other normal protein molecules into prion protein molecules.

This is just... so unscientific!

There is no DNA information, no transcription template, how did you complete the replication?

In the scientific community, the mechanism of prion replication is still a mystery.

In addition to this, the terrible thing about prions is that they are a necessary component of life - protein.

We know that protein is the basic component of life and an essential component of life.

Every cell is absorbing protein all the time. As a protein molecule, the invasion of prions is almost undefended!

Seeing that the zombie virus is a mutated prion, Lu Li's heart was half cold.

Prions are simply inexplicable!

In the real world, there have also been outbreaks of prions.

The mad cow disease incident in Eagle Geely was caused by prion infection.

Zombie deer in North America are also caused by prion infection.

The incident of prions infecting humans has also happened in the real world.

In the human genetic map, chromosome 20, the gene fragment contains a terrifying and terrifying truth.

This gene fragment, the gene information expressed, is suddenly the antibody gene against the prion.

As we all know, having a certain antibody means that you have been infected with a certain virus.

Gene Fragment No. 20 reveals a terrifying and terrifying truth. Long, long ago, primitive humans were all infected with prions.

Imagine that the primitive population once had a large-scale outbreak of "zombie virus", and everyone became zombies!

Perhaps, the ancestors of modern humans were once the survivors of the "zombie virus".

Perhaps... a more frightening conclusion is that all modern people are descendants of "zombies"!

This is so creepy!

Now, in front of Lu Li, is also the end of the world caused by prions.

In the display of the electron microscope, Lu Li clearly saw that the zombie virus in this simulated world also has the characteristics of prion, and must be a variant of some kind of prion.

Prions mutated.

Even if human genes contain prion antibody genes, they are still unable to resist this more ferocious and violent mutant prion.

Prions themselves are already scary.

This mutated prion is even more terrifying.

Now... why am I trying to solve prions?

Regardless of whether he takes the "salvation" route, the "destruction route", or not at all, Lu Li must fight against mutant prions.

I am so hard!

Even as the world's top genetic scientist, Lu Xin felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

All known antiviral methods cannot kill prions.

Prions can still survive at 600°C. Prions can swim in 75% sanitizing alcohol.

Unless the bones of sick cows are burned to ashes in a high-temperature furnace like Yingjili deals with mad cow disease, it is possible to kill prions.

To eliminate mutant prions in this world, do we have to burn all the animals in this world to ashes?

It would be better to just blow up the earth of this world, which is easier to do.

Lu Li was helpless.

The task of fighting against prions was too difficult, but Lu Li had to do it.

Let's study this mutant prion first!

In the virtual laboratory, Lu Li conducted a detailed test of the mutant prion samples.

Even... Lu Li also virtualized a normal human experimental body to observe the infection mechanism of the mutant prion.

Through a series of experiments, Lu Li also gained some understanding of this mutant prion.

The structure of this mutant prion is complex.

In addition to the prion body of the core part, it also combines the characteristics of rabies virus and even the pathogenic characteristics of hemophilia.

Prions have the characteristics of zombie viruses, coupled with the crazy aggressiveness of rabies, and the violent characteristics of bloodthirsty, it is simply terrible.

Such a virus is enough to destroy everything!

Fortunately, this is just a simulated plot. If this virus appears in reality, it will also become the end of the world, and it will be completely unstoppable.

Lu Li let out a long sigh.

For this mutant prion, Lu Li was obviously still helpless.

Prion is just a protein! A necessary ingredient for all living things, a completely defenseless ingredient. All the means against viruses and bacteria are completely ineffective against prions.

This rules out the possibility of all antibiotic-like drug treatment.

As for gene editing technology? Prion has no genetic information, it is just a protein molecule without any genetic information. You don't even have any genes, so edit your hair?

This is by far the most difficult plot that Lu Li has ever encountered.

Even as a top scientist, Lu Li felt helpless. He couldn't even find a research direction or even an idea.

The only good thing is that the transmission mechanism of this mutant prion is not too bad.

In addition to body fluid transmission, it is mainly the most common "bite" transmission in zombie films.

In addition to this, mutant prions do not infect plants. Therefore, in this zombie apocalypse world, plants are still safe.

Fortunately, mutant prions do not infect bacteria. Otherwise...there is nothing left in this world.

He waved his hand to close the virtual lab, and Lu Li was helpless. Mutated prions can only be studied slowly, and a solution can be found slowly.

Now... get some sleep and talk about it tomorrow!

It turns out that zombies still need to sleep. Lu Li personally proved this.

…………

The next morning, when Lu Li woke up, it was just dawn.

Lu Li didn't sleep until he woke up naturally, but...was woken up by hunger.

hungry! The instinct to eat exploded again.

Lu Li's eyes were blood red, and waves of crazy and violent emotions hit his brain like a tide.

"Turn on the mechanized mind!"

Lu Li hurriedly entered a state of sanity, resisting the bloodthirsty frenzy brought about by this mutant prion.

Entering a state of sanity, Lu Li turned over and got up, put on his clothes, and went to the bathroom to wash up. Then he went downstairs into the kitchen and picked up the package of barbecued meat.

The European-style villa has a fireplace. Lu Li chopped up a log table with a seedling knife, lit the fire, and reheated the barbecue.

Then... it was another meal, eating a few pounds of barbecued meat in a row.

After releasing his mechanized mind, Lu Li let out a long sigh.

Food is the problem!

The leftover roast will be finished soon, what's next?

And... Lu Li thought of another question. If zombies mainly eat humans as food, what do hundreds of millions of zombies eat when human survivors are scarce?

Go out and see!

One is to find new food sources, and the other is to study the law of life of zombies.

Thinking of this, Lu Li took the Miao Dao and turned to go out.

There is a car in the garage of the villa.

Lu Li had seen it when he was cleaning. In addition to another "big G" off-road vehicle, there was also a Yamaha R1 motorcycle.

Walking into the garage, Lu Li only found the motorcycle key beside the motorcycle.

Pick up the key and press the start button, and the motorcycle can still start. Although there is not much fuel, gasoline should still be found at the gas station outside.

With the long knife on his back and his motorcycle, Lu Li rushed out of the villa and galloped along the lane in the community.

After a while, Lu Li came to the gate of the community.

And then...he had to get out of the car.

At the gate of the community in front, a bunch of cars were densely blocked. There are signs of collision all over the place.

Obviously, this is where the zombie virus broke out. People rushed to drive away and crashed into a pile in chaos.

There are countless broken clothes scattered around, countless bloodstains remain on the ground, and more are gnawed bones.

Through the dusty window glass, Lu Li saw the corpse of a woman in a car in front of him with scratches.

Walking up, Lu Li tapped the handle of the Miao Dao, shattering the window glass and seeing the corpse in the car.

Originally she should be a young and beautiful girl.

Perhaps, she is still the goddess in many people's minds.

Now... she's turned into a putrid corpse.

rancid?

Lu Li hurriedly picked up a piece of broken glass and scratched on the corpse, scraping off some rotten tissue that had not yet dried.

Generally speaking, fifteen days after the death of a human body, it will be completely decomposed and eroded. After three months, the corpse will turn into a mummified form.

Now... on this corpse, which has not been eaten by zombies, there is still a bit of undried tissue. That is to say, it has not been three months since the outbreak of the zombie virus?

More than fifteen days, but less than three months, maybe two months or so.

Has this world been destroyed in such a short period of time?

Lu Li secretly sighed and threw away the glass shards.

Get those cars out of the way first and make a way!

Although he turned into a zombie, Lu Li's original physical quality and inner strength of infuriating energy did not disappear, and he could still function freely.

The body strength of more than four tons, coupled with the real gas catalyst, is enough for Lu Li to lift these cars and off-road vehicles one by one and throw them away.

Soon, Lu Li cleared a passageway from the entrance of the community that was the scene of a large-scale car accident.

Turning around and getting on the motorcycle, Lu Li rushed out of the gate of the community and entered the road outside.

In front of you... there are cars everywhere! Accidents are everywhere!

It was a mistake for me to come out on a motorcycle!

With a depressed face, Lu Li threw the motorcycle outside the gate of the community and walked forward with a Miao Dao.

There is a main road outside the community, a commercial street on the left, and a park on the opposite side of the road.

On top of a hill in the park, Lu Li could also see a towering TV tower.

It's just... I'm afraid no one is watching TV now, right?

Lu Li secretly sighed, turned and walked towards the commercial street.

There should be a new source of food on the commercial street, and the traffic on the commercial street is huge, so there will definitely be zombies.

Huh? I've been out for so long, and when I moved the car just now, I smashed it, why didn't these movements attract zombies?

Where have all the zombies gone?

Lu Xin was a little puzzled.

Carrying the Miao Dao all the way forward, Lu Li quickly walked to the commercial street.

In front of a dilapidated. The former bustling scene has long since ceased to exist.

At a glance, Lu Li still didn't see any zombies. Not the kind you see in the movies, piles of zombies wandering around.

The zombies in this world are still a kind of creature, or an animal.

They are not living corpses, they are still living creatures. So... zombies still have certain habits of living things?

Lu Li didn't think much about this issue either, and walked towards a supermarket in front of him.

This is a large supermarket.

The whole supermarket has five floors, which can be regarded as a large shopping mall.

The entrance to the supermarket was unsurprisingly messy. All kinds of broken debris were scattered all over the ground, the ground was stained with blood, and there were many gnawed bones.

Obviously, there has been a tragedy here, maybe more than one!

Lu Li sighed and walked into the supermarket.

Then... he saw the zombies.

Next to the supermarket cashier, a zombie squatted on the ground, gnawing at something with its head buried in it.

This zombie was supposed to be the security guard of the supermarket. He was wearing a tattered security fee, and his body was covered in blood. There was still a pool of blood on the ground, revealing a strong stench of blood.

Zombies... what are they eating?

Lu Li frowned slightly, having some bad guesses in his heart.

At this time, the zombie that was burying its head suddenly stopped and turned to look at Lu Li.

A blood-stained face appeared in front of Lu Li. There were drops of blood dripping from the corners of the bright red mouth.

The zombie stared at Lu Li with blood-red eyes, his nose twitched, as if he was smelling something.

After a while, the zombie roared a few times at Lu Li, but did not attack Lu Li, the roar seemed to be driving away.

Is this a move for animal protection?

Is it claiming sovereignty and preventing me from robbing it of food?

Sure enough, the zombies did not attack immediately.

Because... I, like it, are also zombies!
