Chapter 114 Is there a conspiracy?
"Why are you so fierce? I just think the knot you tied is prettier!" Mo Yuankai, who had made himself look awkward, muttered and tried to save face.
After Chi Yu found a T-shirt in the closet and put it on, he remembered that Shouchen was still walking around the living room on the second floor with his naked butt, so he quickly found a pair of elastic-waisted shorts for Shouchen to wear.
A few people packed up and were going downstairs. Because of the previous incident, Chi Yu, who was walking in front, kept ignoring Mo Yuankai who was behind.
The main reason was that he had just been extremely embarrassed, so Chi Yu had to act indifferent to ease the embarrassment. If there had been no crack in the ground, he would have wanted to escape underground in the bathroom.
As I reached the corner of the stairs, the sound of conversation coming from the living room downstairs gradually became clearer to my ears.
"Based on what we know so far, I think Zuo Xiao is most likely the mother of the R virus, the ultimate corpse king." Shousui speculated.
The information Tianqing copied from Amber's computer was very complete, even recording the history of the Gene Lock Company's development.
According to the records, the founder of this gene lock research company is named Zuo Qiongling. His son Zuo Xiao suffered a thoracic spinal cord injury after a car accident when he was sixteen years old. The accident caused Zuo Xiao's lower limbs to be completely paralyzed.
In order to help his son stand up again, Zuo Qiongling formed a genetic research team that brought together top scholars in the scientific research industry from various countries. Since then, such a strong research team has been working hard to reactivate the motor nervous system technology of patients with spinal cord injuries.
However, no matter how good the team is, there has been no breakthrough and very little progress in the four years of diligent research.
Because spinal cord injury can disrupt the signal communication between the brain and the spinal cord area that controls walking, eventually leading to paralysis. To solve the problem of spinal cord injury, the first thing to do is to restore the neural communication between the brain and the spinal cord. This technology has been difficult since it was proposed for academic discussion, because so far, neither the medical community nor the scientific research team has been able to do it.
Perhaps because of their love for their son, under the pressure of Zuo Qiongling, the research team changed their research direction in the fifth year. This was because they found that in the previous research on the gene lock, the r virus used to open the gene lock combined with the P17 gene of human chromosome 35 had mutated, thus evolving into a more powerful R virus.
They also found that the R virus can reconstruct the signal communication between the brain and the spinal nerves, thereby restoring the brain's control over the motor nerves.
After that, the research team began to carry out various research and live experiments on the R virus. At first, they only used gorillas as test subjects. Finally, in order to make this genetic mutation ability work on humans, they directly found homeless people on the street for human live experiments.
The information was full of professional terms, and Shousui couldn't quite understand them, but the general meaning was that Zuo Qiongling's research team not only created the R virus, but also used it for human live experiments, and when the test results showed stable, they used the experiments on their own son Zuo Xiao.
But they never expected that the R virus was more aggressive and difficult to control than they imagined. In the third year after the live experiment, the gorillas and homeless people who had previously participated in the experiment all developed many adverse complications.
They became extremely violent and aggressive, with a strong urge to bite people. Only then did the research team discover that the R virus had undergone a secondary mutation in the test subjects' bodies. Although they tried their best to save them, the secondary mutated R virus still broke out in the city, which is now the zombie virus.
Among them, the mutants in the B city base are also called "mutants" in the information. In fact, they are the best products after the third mutation of the R virus.
The video recordings only recorded that Zuo Xiao got rid of the wheelchair and regained the ability to walk after completing the experiment.
But Shousui felt that with the evolutionary ability of the R virus, things would definitely not end so easily or simply.
"Although there is no further record of Zuo Xiao's future, given the continuous evolution of the R virus, it is not impossible that he will be the ultimate corpse king." He Ci agreed with Shou Sui's guess.
"What are you talking about?" Chi Yu walked down the stairs towards them, and the little boy Shouchen followed closely behind him.
Mo Yuankai, who was behind, stopped in his tracks when he heard the name from Shousui's mouth. A look of surprise and disbelief appeared on the man's face.
Chi Yu came closer and said to Shousui, "Shouchen might be hungry, feed him quickly, otherwise he will stare at me and drool again."
"Let's fill our stomachs first. Everyone is hungry." Shousui glanced at the sky outside the window, touched his stomach and turned to Heci.
Then several people sat around the dining table and enjoyed the food that He Ci distributed to everyone. Shou Sui saw Mo Yuankai still standing at the stairs in a daze, and couldn't help but ask him, "Aren't you hungry?"
Mo Yuankai came back to his senses, concealed his expression and then walked towards the dining table.
No one noticed Mo Yuankai's shocked expression, and Shousui only saw that he seemed a little absent-minded. He couldn't help but ask Mo Yuankai with concern: "Why do you look like you are worried?"
Mo Yuankai, who had just sat down at the dining table, heard the man. He raised his eyes and glanced at Chi Yu who was busy eating. Mo Yuankai hesitated for a long time before responding to Shousui's question, "No." He concealed his smile and looked normal.
Xuan Sang, who was sitting by the coffee table, saw the group move to the dining area. He finally couldn't stand it anymore and pulled the hand off his shoulder, cursing in a low voice, "Get out of the way! Don't get close to me, OK?"
Tian Qing was not annoyed, but smiled good-naturedly. Then he took out a round bead emitting red light from his arms and handed it to Xuan Sang, "Here you go, this is the essence I extracted from the zombies that He Ci killed when he was fighting against the zombies."
Xuan Sang looked at the fist-sized bead in his palm in surprise, with a glimmer in his eyes. He hesitated and didn't take it, wondering if the man was suddenly so attentive and had some conspiracy?
The various zombie corpses that he picked up during the New Year's Eve were exchanged with Xuan Sang, and he refined them into this kind of essence to replenish his spiritual power and improve his cultivation.
These essences are the source of his energy. Naturally, when Xuan Sang saw that Tian Qing went to such great lengths to refine such a large energy essence and wanted to give it to him, he felt envious but also began to conspire against him. After all, how could Tian Qing do such a thankless task?
Seeing Xuan Sang staring at the essence in his hand and hesitating for a while, Tian Qing smiled and grabbed Xuan Sang's hand and placed the bead in his palm.
"You're welcome." The man said without waiting for Xuan Sang to say "thank you". His tone sounded quite firm and unyielding.
Xuan Sang: "..."
Seeing that Tianqing had done this, Xuan Sang couldn't afford to give him back without giving him face. He showed an expression of being reluctant to refuse such a kind offer, but he felt very happy in his heart as he clenched his palms and collected his essence.
Tianqing lowered his eyes, glanced at him and smiled.
