Night, Hokkaido.

Since the virus epidemic is limited to the Tokyo area of ​​Radiation Island, the control in surrounding areas is not very serious.

Major cities in the Hokkaido region are still operating normally.

Although measures such as virus testing for entering and exiting the city are still implemented, they are not strict enough.

Nearly a thousand Vulcan believers sneaked into the city through various paths, and soon spread in several cities, and then maliciously spread the virus.

Some people gained strength and swelled up and walked towards the bank.

101 Lab.

"Mentor, this is a virus sample extracted from the body of a killed Vulcan believer. We have discovered a new mutant strain of the virus."

"Well, what were the results of the experiment?"

"This new strain can absorb and store fire energy and electrical energy, and can strengthen human cells. This is a video of fighting against Vulcan believers."

The assistant clicks on a video to play.

In the video, a Vulcan believer was seen rushing towards the crowd with flames all over his body.

When he touches people, they are instantly ignited.

However, because the Vulcan believer was running rampant without any plan, he was easily headshot by a sniper from a distance.

"In addition to fire and electricity, the enhanced cells cannot withstand the impact of bullets." The assistant said.

"In addition, the concentration of meladonine in the bodies of Vulcan believers is extremely high. As we speculated, the increase in this substance makes virus-infected people grumpy and prone to anger."

"After carefully studying the structure of the virus, I have a hunch that we will soon get a glimpse of the truth about the mutation of the virus."

"Change the breeding environment of experimental rats. Put 100,000 of them into a confined space without any light. The oxygen concentration is adjusted to 50% below normal to create a depressing environment."

"100,000 experimental rats are locked in a cold storage environment, and the temperature gradually drops. Do not drop it suddenly, and the food is halved."

"100,000 experimental rats were placed in the pool, leaving only some landing sites..."

"They're constantly exposed to various stimuli, and emotional substances are added to the food."

"As expected, the virus in the experimental mice is undergoing slight changes. When this change reaches a certain level, it will cause the virus to mutate."

"Continue to increase the feeding of emotional substances and environmental stimulation."

"The virus was too active, causing the experimental mice to eat a lot and have extreme mood swings. Some of the experimental mice died due to excessive emotional substances in their bodies."

"Individual experimental mice were stimulated by the environment and grew new organs outside the body."

"What is this? Mammoth tusk?"

"It's really surprising that some of the lab rats have tusks that are several times longer than their body length."

"There is a lab rat whose fur has changed color..."

"Changes in the eyes of lab rats fed in darkness."

"Anatomy of Vulcan believers revealed that all cells are completely different from ordinary people, and the genetic sequence contains a large number of fragments of the Taurus virus sequence."

On the 45th day after the virus was released, Lin Zhi learned from the news on his mobile phone that the government of the island country claimed to have developed a "special alleviation drug" for the tauropod virus.

Taking relief medicine can perfectly suppress the negative emotions caused by the virus.

The government also announced that the tauropod virus was an opportunity for human evolution and proposed the clinical application of the virus.

When they see terminally ill patients being cured, people's fear of the virus instantly decreases and they are full of expectations for the future.

In particular, Hefu announced that it had developed a "Fire/Thunder Warrior Inactivation Reagent" based on the Nitrogen Madness Virus, which would allow infected people to gain the power to control fire and thunder.

This reagent is actually the Balrog virus inactivated in the vaccine, which allows people to gain the power of fire, but at the same time, it cannot be transmitted to others because the virus has lost its activity.

If the common Taurus virus does not have the ability to withstand high temperatures, then those who are vaccinated will be immune to the infection in disguised form.

Although this vaccine is good, at the same time, the body of those who gain strength loses the ability to grow automatically. If they want to practice and become stronger, they can only continue to inject inactivating reagents.

People in Hefu instantly became excited online and signed up to participate in the volunteer selection, hoping to become a flame/thunder warrior.

After seeing the news, Lin Zhi silently spent infection points to update the Balrog/Thunder Demon abilities to all infected.

If we didn't update it before, we would naturally hope that the island country would have extraordinary power later.

After all, he cannot be infected with the virus, and the current system does not have the ability to enhance his combat effectiveness.

So the later the supernatural power appears, the better.

However, Hefu's operation forced Lin Zhi to update his virus capabilities.

Because the Balrog ability is given to the people by the Hefu and the people themselves "awaken" the Balrog ability, the two properties are different.

Hefu's "vaccine" will naturally cultivate soldiers who are loyal to Hefu. If Hefu is strong, it will have strong control over the island country, which is not conducive to the spread of the virus.

After all, what Hefu needs is a virus vaccine that loses its ability to infect.

What Lin Zhi needs is an active virus that can be active and continue to provide himself with infection points.

Therefore, the ability of the virus can only be updated so that the people can independently obtain the ability of the Balrog.

People's hearts are unpredictable. After gaining strength, the number of restless people will increase. Only when island countries are in chaos can they fish in troubled waters and create a favorable environment for the spread of the virus.

“As a result, the environment in the island nation is unsafe.”

Extraordinary power appears too early and is uncontrollable. Although it is more conducive to spreading the virus, it is also easier for the "powerless" self to be affected by the extraordinary power.

"It would be great if there was a way to control these infected people..."

Lin Zhi thought that he might be able to use emotional substances to control the infected, but his financial resources were limited, so he probably couldn't buy much emotional substances.

Moreover, emotional substances were not easy to synthesize, and they were extremely important to the demon virus infected people. The government would definitely put them on the control list.

It was like the salt and iron monopoly in ancient times.

When the virus update was completed, a prompt popped up on the system panel.

[The mutated ability of the Flame Demon has been updated. All infected people who meet the conditions will activate the Flame Demon gene and gain the ability of the Flame Demon. For those who do not meet the conditions, the Flame Demon virus gene will be hidden. ]

Huh?

Lin Zhi was stunned. He didn't expect that the Flame Demon virus could not give everyone the ability of the Flame Demon, but it was selective!

Then, he felt it was very reasonable. People have different physiques and personalities. Some are irritable, some are calm, some are heartless, and some are sad and sentimental...

The Demon Virus is stimulated by different emotions, and the changes produced are different. Logically speaking, people who are suitable for the Flame Demon ability are those who are irritable, impulsive and irritable.

From the perspective of the evolution and growth of the Demon Virus, if everyone becomes a Flame Demon, how can the other abilities mutate and appear?

After possessing the extraordinary power of the Flame Demon, the virus will have no suitable breeding ground for mutation!

Can a person acquire many abilities?

Flame Demon + Thunder Demon + Succubus...?

This does not mean that a person's body cells can be compatible with various transformations. The main thing is that the virus is only D-level. D-level is too strong and does not conform to the previous law of virus evolution.

Therefore, this system prompt can be regarded as a solution to Lin Zhi's doubts.

In this way, the proportion of extraordinary people born will be much smaller, but it fits Lin Zhi's contradictory idea that he does not want the government to monopolize the production of extraordinary power and does not want extraordinary power to overflow.

"We have done everything we can. The next step is to accumulate infection points and continue to strengthen the virus."

At this point, combined with daily news reports, Lin Zhi has understood that there is no suspense about the survival of the virus.

After his guidance and strengthening and the virus's own adaptive mutation, the value it shows is far greater than its harm.

Therefore, for any scientist, especially scientists like the island country, the attraction is fatal.

Not to mention the active spread of the virus for experimental research, protecting the virus, retaining samples, and conducting animal experiments are definitely indispensable.

As long as the virus can survive, his main task will not fail.

In fact, things are exactly as Lin Zhi expected.

101 Laboratory.

"Teacher, in the latest experiment, the virus in the Kunlun slaves has been on the verge of evolution. As we speculated before, the mutation of the virus can be guided and regulated by environmental stimulation."

"Well, this time more than one million people have signed up to be volunteers on the island. There are too many people and we are not prepared enough. So you have to tell the people below to screen according to the personality classification table I listed. 13 emotional material adapters, only a total of 130,000 volunteers are included."

Inoue Juro said.

"Okay, teacher. In addition, some of the experimental mice have mutated into the ability of Flame Demon. Is the growth rate of this virus too terrifying?"

The assistant said with some concern.

The more he understood the bull horn madness virus, the more he felt that the ability of this virus was too weird. The virus seemed to have thoughts and its own will, as if there was an invisible hand behind it controlling it.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for a general virus to grow and mutate so rapidly when the number of infected people was insufficient.

Moreover, the mutation pattern of the virus is also puzzling.

Generally, the virus is designed to spread quickly, survive, and reproduce at the beginning, so it is very aggressive.

Then it is attacked by the immune system, treated with drugs, and the host dies quickly, thus losing its breeding ground, and it will slowly become "honest", reducing its pathogenicity and lethality, and enhancing its ability to spread and survive.

The taurus virus is different. It seems to know from the beginning that there is no way out of its high lethality, so it has been evolving in a direction that is beneficial to the host.

Then, the assistant abandoned this idea.

How could anyone in this world be able to control the virus? Could he be a top virologist?

But the situation shown by the taurus virus is impossible even for top virologists.

If he can, then he is too amazing!

"Don't worry too much. Everything exists for a reason. You are afraid because of the unknown. As long as we study the rabies virus thoroughly, we can control it and use it for our own benefit. In the long process of evolution, humans have conquered nature step by step."

Jiurō Inoka smiled and said, "In the past, people invented steam engines, generators, computers, etc. The industrial revolution of mankind has made progress again and again. Nowadays, the progress in science has been much smaller. Once the rabies virus is controlled, mankind will usher in a new industrial revolution... No, it may be an era where science fiction and magic coexist."

As he spoke, Jiurō Inoka's eyes seemed to be full of light.

But the assistant felt that his mentor seemed crazy.

...

Night.

Fukushima, the ruins of an abandoned nuclear power plant.

Watanabe Shinno avoided the lax guards and sneaked into the restricted area. After walking for about half an hour, he came to the ruins.

Buckets of nuclear waste water used for cooling were piled up in an open area. It was quiet under the moonlight, and no insects could be heard.

Watanabe Shinno knew that this was because of the serious nuclear pollution. There was no grass growing around, let alone insects.

It is said that workers responsible for collecting nuclear wastewater at the Fukushima nuclear power plant site will suffer from various terrible diseases even if they work for only a short time.

This place is a restricted area, and most people would frown upon it, let alone sneak into it secretly.

As for why Watanabe Shinno came, it's because there is no shortage of careerists in the world, especially when you know that the Nitrogen Madness Virus can give people extraordinary powers.

After Watanabe Shinno learned a lot of research information on the Torovirus through family channels, his ambition grew involuntarily.

When he spent a lot of money to obtain a living virus and actively infected it, his ambition grew even more.

Finally, when the power of Balrog appeared in front of the world, Watanabe Shinno couldn't hold it back anymore.

"Just being burned by fire can stimulate the Balrog's ability. What if it's nuclear radiation?"

Watanabe had a bold idea in his mind.

The damage caused by nuclear radiation is not instantaneous, and the duration is just enough for the tauropod virus to adapt and mutate.

Through special channels, he has already found out that the institute has relevant research and has determined significant results.

However, there is still a long way to go before it is officially put into use.

"I don't have the patience to wait, not to mention that what I'm waiting for will definitely have many restrictions. Only by gaining strength early and seizing the opportunity can we realize our dreams!"

Watanabe Shinno approached a metal tank storing nuclear wastewater, took out a special tool, and pried it open!

After a while, the jar was opened. He reached into the jar, picked up a handful of nuclear wastewater and stuffed it into his mouth.

After taking several mouthfuls of nuclear wastewater, he felt his stomach was "burning."

"I endure it. This is a necessary process to become stronger. It is the pain of a pheasant and an eagle growing strong wings."

Watanabe encouraged himself in his heart, so he simply put his head into the metal can and drank the nuclear waste water.

Watanabe Shinno let out a comfortable burp as nuclear wastewater rich in tritium, carbon-14 and various rare chemical elements entered his stomach.

Soon, he felt a heat in his body.

First, the skin itched unbearably, and then there was a severe painful reaction from the inside to the outside.

If Watanabe has read certain novels, you may think, "Is this the Tempered Body?"

As soon as the radioactive material contained in the nuclear wastewater enters the body, it begins to destroy Watanabe's body cells. If there are no other factors, it will destroy his genes and cause the cells to collapse. In the end, the body will either mutate, become deformed, or ulcerate. In short, He will die in pain that is worse than death.

However, he was infected with the tauropod virus in advance.

The extreme pain caused Watanabe's body to secrete a large amount of emotional substances, making the virus highly active.

Active viruses are damaged by radiation, and some die, while others begin to adapt and "fight back."

During the adaptation process, the virus changes.

The older generation of viruses died, and a new generation of viruses adapted to a hint of radioactive material split and was born.

Watanabe felt hungry in his body.

He looked at the humus-rich soil next to him and felt that it was so delicious that he lay down on the ground and started to devour it.

The moonlight is shining, and the light shines on Watanabe, activating photosynthesis. The range of recipes increases. Under photosynthesis, a large amount of nutrients are absorbed by Watanabe's body, and then stolen by the virus and used to reproduce new strains.

Meanwhile the old strains keep dying off.

Gradually, it gets bright.
