There are more than a dozen people infected with the zebra virus lying in a basement of about fifty square meters. However, compared with other people, these people are all seriously ill and can no longer move freely. The muscles on their bodies have obviously become striped.

Soft and hard alternate, and one can see their inner activities at the moment from their eyes.

There is a dead silence in some people's eyes, just quietly accepting these useless and barely buffering drug treatments, or they are full of unwillingness, with anger and sadness; while some people seem to have already thought about it, and they seem to be relatively peaceful in their hearts, with a sense of joy in their eyes.

It's the look of memories.

The former are mostly young people, while the latter are mostly old people. Age, along with experience, brings about different reactions to life-threatening situations.

In addition to those lying on simple hospital beds, there are also some people who are still able to move. These people help with cleaning and simple medication replacement for the patients.

However, the originally dull basement, filled with despair and sadness, changed with the arrival of Gray Cat and Xilin. This was the first living animal they had seen in a long time.

Many people paid attention to the gray cat walking around and jumping up and down. The long-term gloom and silence gained a little fresh energy because of the cat's beating.

This is like a ray of sunshine in the darkness. After staying in the darkness for a long time, I was a little afraid to accept this warm light.

There was a woman sitting in the corner holding a child over two years old. The child, who was still drowsy and lacked energy, happily reached out to the gray cat after seeing the gray cat.

"Mom, look, it's a moving kitten!"

The woman's eyes turned red. She touched the child's slightly discolored hair and felt the texture of the hair was different from before. She whispered, "Yes, that's a moving kitten."

Because of the disaster caused by this virus, they have forgotten how long they have seen such vivid and energetic life. Their memories are full of striped shadows, and everywhere against the background of gunfire and thick smoke.

They were wreckage, of people, animals, and buildings. They were all striped gray.

The gray cat circled around Xilin's hospital bed. The blood on Xilin's body still couldn't stop. Although the wound was not big and the bleeding was not much, he would die from blood loss if it continued like this.

Seeing the gray cat that kept wandering around the hospital bed, the woman sighed, "I don't know why. The instruments are limited now and we can't do more tests."

Hearing this, the gray cat's ears drooped. The look in those cat eyes made the woman dare not look directly. She always felt like she was guilty.

The gray cat jumped on the hospital bed, bent its legs and squatted next to Xilin's arm. It checked Xilin's physical condition again.

Even more chaotic.

What should I do!

I raised my paw and patted Xilin, but there was no response. I patted it again, and patted it again...

Seeing the gray cat like this, the people around him became even more silent. They have seen many people who lie down and never wake up. Every time they see such an example, they think about how long it will take for them to change.

Must be the same as the person lying there?

Xilin can't give the gray cat a reaction now. He has concentrated all his strength to fight against the unknown substance. He can't even allocate extra strength to repair the wound. Many components in the body fluid are no longer what they were before. Such a chaotic situation is a mess between the two.

caused by the struggle of the

Xilin tried every means to use the biochip embedded in the gene chromosome to fight against the many newly synthesized zebra viruses brought by the unknown substance, but in the end he found that the person who consumed the most was himself, and after excessive consumption, the unknown substance was

The possibility of being kicked out is slim.

The virions that were originally infected and entered the body were as if they had seen the leader due to the appearance of this unknown substance. They were extremely active. The two-color stripes appearing on Xilin's body have gradually deepened, and the boundaries between the two colors are quite obvious. This shows that now Xilin's body has

Zebra virus is extremely active.

The homeostasis in the body is on the verge of collapse. Once it collapses, Xilin doesn't know whether it will be possible to recover. But now the chip is gradually unable to support it.

If we use this substance to fully activate the chip at this time, will we have a better chance of winning?

No, analysis of the information obtained from the equipment in Hou Lei Hansen's underground laboratory shows that when the biochip is fully activated, there is more than a fifty percent chance that the individual will experience excessive stress due to the inability of the body to fully adapt.

repulsion effect, and eventually death.

So, what about another method? Although it is very risky, the success rate is slightly higher than the former.

Xilin changed his strategy, no longer forcefully rejecting the unknown substance, and the chip, which had become increasingly unstable, gradually became calmer. However, after experiencing this peaceful period, Xilin suddenly controlled the chip and began to decompose the unknown substance.

The gray cat's ears moved, and he opened his eyes to look at Xilin. The energy in Xilin's body began to appear again, but it was a little different from before. And it seemed that due to the excessive consumption of energy at this moment, Xilin's entire body lost weight.

Due to this change, some wrinkles appeared in the skin, but the wrinkles were quickly smoothed out, epidermal cells began to undergo apoptosis, and the skin quickly detached and turned into powder.

What happened?

The gray cat stared at Xilin closely, watching this series of changes he had never seen before.

But the gray cat was pleased that the boundaries between the two color stripes on Xilin's body began to blur. The gray cat peeked around, dimmed the lights in the room, and most of them fell asleep, including the two women.

, no one paid attention to the situation here, and the person sitting next to him was also asleep. The instruments next to him flashed several times just now, but no one paid attention. Maybe everyone thought that these instruments were damaged due to the previous chaos.

of sequelae.

The gray cat looked at Xilin again and raised his paw to lift Xilin's sleeve. The stripes on his arms were in the same condition. Although the blood from the wound had not solidified, it had stopped flowing.

Half an hour later, the gray cat blew on the layer of "ash" formed on Xilin's body surface due to the death of a large number of cells.

The turbulent state in Xilin's body has subsided, but the originally blurred black and white stripes have now appeared again, and the boundary between the two stripes is still so clear. What's going on?

He raised his ears and listened carefully to Xilin's heartbeat. The gray cat felt relieved and continued to lie there and watch.

Another hour passed, and it started to get light outside. But the basement was still quiet.

Xilin opened his eyes and turned his head to see a pair of round cat eyes.

He moved his fingers, still a little uncontrollably, but soon recovered. He raised his hand and pinched the gray cat's ears, communicating in a mechanical language that only the two of them knew and that others could not detect.

"Where is this?" Xilin asked.

Gray Cat talked about what happened before, and then hurriedly asked Xilin about his current physical condition. Should he contact Guan Feng urgently and ask them to send someone over?

Xilin shook his head, relaxed his muscles, and sat up on the simple hospital bed. He could see this place very clearly with his eyesight.

A few people who were not asleep vaguely noticed that Xilin didn't react when he sat up. In their minds, even if people infected with the virus can still sit up now, they will die soon, so there is nothing surprising.

Xilin saw the dog lying on a small operating table not far away. The dog's gunshot wound had been treated after treatment, but it still could only lie there, even breathing was difficult.

There was a water glass on the cabinet next to it. Xilin poured a glass of water and drank it. He found a bag of compressed biscuits. Although the workmanship was very rough, it could save the day. In order to get rid of that thing, Xilin acted like

It seems like I have lost weight in a month.

Originally, Xilin was prepared to treat the unknown substance gently, decompose it step by step and then eliminate it. Who knew that he would eventually seize an opportunity. After decomposition, the unknown substance became a balancing force that stabilized the chip, and was chimeric into the gene chromosome.

In the biochip, let the chip change.

What makes Xilin happy is that during this chimerization process, the chip is completely activated, and under the action of this decomposed unknown substance, it is excited unusually peacefully.

In other words, Xilin absorbed the thing that made the zebra virus for his own use. Because of this, Xilin was able to better understand this new virus.

In many cases, naturally formed life forms are much stronger than artificially modified ones, and so are viruses. In fact, the most dangerous viruses are not those in secret research institutes, but those unknown virus types that have not yet been discovered.

This virus is definitely not artificial. It is a new life form, a new virion. It does not appear in the form of DNA or protein like other known viruses, but in the form of this unknown substance.

form.

The unknown substance that entered Xilin's body allowed the original zebra virus to appear. Now, without this substance, the original zebra virus will no longer appear.

As for those so-called variants, Xilin can analyze the best solution based on the interaction between the chip in the body and that substance.

Taking advantage of this time, Xilin looked at the content recorded by the scanning machine in the underground laboratory where the substance was discovered. It told the story of the discovery of the substance and the origin of the zebra virus.

It was a frustrated researcher who accidentally discovered the substance that fell with the meteorite and brought it into the laboratory. However, it didn't take long for him to discover that he was infected with the virus.

After the discovery, the person did not report it immediately, but set up a trap with a hatred. The people who died on the planet discovered by the patrol were the victims. Through the records, Xilin knew that the researcher contacted Seven

Individuals, that is to say, in addition to the five dead people who have been found, there are two more people.

These seven people are the vectors that spread the virus from one planet to another.

This is a revenge incident.

"Hey, are you awake?" said the woman who sent Xilin over.

Xilin put away the scanner without leaving a trace and said with a smile: "Thank you for bringing me in."

"Don't thank me, just thank your cat. We really can't help." The woman looked at Xilin and found that the original small wounds had healed, and even the traces had faded. However, she did not directly

From the smell, she had seen a lot of people with special physiques.

Xilin took a few steps and stretched. If it weren't for the stripes on his face, others would have thought that he was a normal person who was not infected with the zebra virus.

"Anyway, thank you for bringing me in here."

The woman smiled bitterly: "This is all I can do. Even though I know everyone will die, I still want to do something out of habit. Come here, I will take you to eat some hot food."

There is a small cubicle in this basement that is used to handle hot water and hot food. Here the woman served Xilin a bowl of porridge. There are only these simple foods here.

Xilin drank a large bowl, although these things were not enough. He still felt very hungry, but he found that there was not much storage in the basement, so he ate some casually and stopped letting the woman do it again.

It's already dawn outside, but no one dares to go out for fear of being beaten into a sieve.

The gray cat was also very hungry, but it had a naughty mouth. It would not eat this kind of porridge, so Xilin pinched its ears and told it to get food for it when it went out later.

While sitting in this cubicle to rest, Xilin chatted with the woman for a while and found out that the woman was a doctor. The school she went to was not a good one, her family's conditions were limited, and she did not have any outstanding talents. This disaster brought

Many people have left, including her relatives, and now only she and her cousin are left. That is, the little girl who the gray cat pretends to be pitiful towards.

"It will be fine. Things will turn around soon," Xilin said.

The woman just smiled and didn't answer. They had been looking forward to the so-called turning point for too long, but the final result was always disappointing. Now she was numb with disappointment. She just relied on her remaining medical ethics to support herself and not give up.

, which can keep those people alive for one more second is motivation.

After talking for a while, Xilin took out a tube of medicine. This is a spectrum medicine that was made before. Although it cannot completely cure the symptoms of zebra virus, it can also provide a relief effect.

"Try this medicine. If you can delay it for a second, that's my hope."

She took the potion. The woman thanked her. She didn't doubt the potion. After all, at this time, it didn't matter what kind of medicine it was. If you could give it a try, give it a try.

After hearing Xilin say that he wanted to go out, the woman gave Xilin a gun, but Xilin refused. The gun would be more useful in their hands.

After Xilin promised not to tell the rioters about this location, the woman opened the basement door for Xilin and let Xilin go out.

It was still gray outside, and there was an unpleasant smell everywhere. There were some people sitting on the ruins with guns in hand. They were the type who chose madness out of despair.

Xilin and Gray Cat did not choose to conflict with them. Now was not the time. The most important thing at the moment was to contact Guan Feng.

After leaving the city and arriving at a remote place, Xilin turned on the communicator to contact Guan Feng.

The communication was quickly connected. Guan Feng looked at Xilin's black and white face from the light screen of the communication device, opened his mouth, and couldn't hold back his words for a long time.

When Guan Feng was silent, Xilin expressed his thoughts. He wanted to study zebra virus drugs here, and asked Guan Feng to send a robot to deliver a drug synthesizer, but Guan Feng refused.

"A robot has already arrived on the planet, but it couldn't find you before. Since you are out now, let the robot send you out of the planet. I have no objection if you want to study it. The starship I sent should have arrived outside the planet.

There are relevant equipment on it, you can study it there, but you can no longer stay on that planet!"

Xilin understands what Guan Feng means, because such a heavily infected planet may be abandoned at any time. Once an order is given from above, Xilin can easily avoid it on the starship.

This Xilin did not refuse, and now he must seize the time to try to synthesize the drug.

Before Xilin finished speaking to Guan Feng, robots appeared around Xilin. They had received the signal and rushed over, and the invisible aircraft had already flown over.

After turning off the communicator, Xilin took Gray Cat up. Outside the planet, there was indeed a starship waiting there. It was not Guan Feng's own. It seemed to be the starship from Black Viper, because Guan Feng's starship

It is impossible to have such complete drug synthesis equipment in the world.

Without contacting anyone else, Xilin went directly to the drug studio after boarding the starship and started trying to synthesize the virus agent.

The gray cat squatted on a shelf nearby and asked Xilin during the break: "You seem to be doing well now. If I hadn't seen the zebra stripes on your face, I would never have thought that you would be an infected person."

Xilin looked away from the molecular synthesizer that was working on the side and said with a smile: "Don't take things at face value."

Under the gray cat's round eyes, the black and white zebra stripes on Xilin's body began to fade in color until they disappeared, and then reappeared, returning to their original black and white appearance.

The gray cat raised its paw, filled with indignation, "You, you, you, you are lying again!"

"There is nothing we can do about it. It was indeed the infection that made it look like that at first, but it changed after I woke up. Besides, if others find out... you want me to be exposed by those people from the Royal Academy of Sciences

Or are those bigots at Black Viper dragging them to do research?”

The gray cat shook his head vigorously. Who would be willing to do such a stupid thing? But in the past, it was afraid of being dragged to do research. Now this situation has also happened to Xilin. It's good, I have a companion.

"In other words, you are completely fine now?" The gray cat twitched its tail happily.

"It can be said like this."

"That's alright, you go ahead and do your work. I've just finished eating and I want to go to bed!"

"Go to sleep."

Xilin rubbed the gray cat's head. This time it was really difficult for this foodie. He must have been nervous and rarely relaxed, so he let him sleep well.

In half a day, Xilin selected three drugs from more than a dozen experimentally synthesized drugs and tried them on small animals infected with the virus. The effects were all good. He chose the drug with the fastest effect and asked the robot to give it to him.

Some serious infections on the planet give it a try, and if it works, it's a real success.

After the robot left with the potion, as soon as Xilin sat down, the communicator in his hand rang. This time it was not Guan Feng, but a decadent Bile. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome.
