Mysterious creature sightings

It's not enough to have a complete guess about the whole thing. How to treat the remaining ten infected people is still a big problem.

The streptococci in their bodies are resistant to antibiotics. Insufficient concentrations of antibiotics will only make things worse. Increased concentrations will cause toxic damage to body cells.

Mutated fungi are truly unknown organisms, and there is no clue of targeted treatment at all.

In the end, we can only try to treat them with drugs, and life or death depends on fate.

Midnight passed quickly, and when the sunshine broke through the morning fog outside, Lin Zheng finally had some time to breathe.

He supported the experimental table with his arms and lowered his head, which would be more comfortable.

Normally at this time, he would rest for a while and use his short spare time to write biological containment in advance.

But today, he just lowered his head and closed his eyes for a few seconds, then suddenly raised his head and searched quickly in the laboratory. Only when he found the person sleeping against the wall in the corner did his restless heart truly settle down.

Lin Jia followed his line of sight and said with a chuckle: "She is also big-hearted and can even sleep here."

This place is full of dangerous objects and corpses, and the lives of my friends are uncertain.

"Sister Qing said before that her emotional threshold is very high, and her view of life and death is a little indifferent due to the influence of a friend. She is not wrong. I don't know which friend is so indifferent to life and death." Lin Jia added thoughtfully.

Lin Zheng said nothing.

It is not a good thing to look down on life and death. Children who grow up in orphanages will be traumatized by their lack of emotion for a lifetime.

In fact, people close to her can tell that her occasional sadness is fake and not that real. But it is precisely this visible sense of falsehood that constitutes part of her reality.

He walked to the corner, squatted down and held her shoulders, calling her in a low voice: "Jiang Yue?"

Ling Jiangyue woke up in a daze. When she saw it was him, she closed her eyes again and muttered, "Is it over?"

"Zheng Linlin is still in the drug trial and observation period."

"..." She opened her eyes again. She almost forgot, she still had things to worry about, how could she sleep so soundly.

Blinking awkwardly to wake up, she grabbed Lin Zheng's arm and stood up.

"Do you need me to do something?"

"No. Eat something and then go to the lounge to sleep."

The headquarters base has a special lounge for members of the Special Investigation Division, and the utilization rate is extremely high. When Lin Zheng encounters a difficult case, he will stay here for more than ten consecutive days.

So as soon as Ling Jiangyue entered, he smelled the residual smell of pheromones that belonged to him, and it felt more "territory" than the house in Yunshuji.

She was still a little confused just now, but after stepping in and being surrounded by his breath, she suddenly woke up, and a tremor rose from her tailbone to her Tianling Cap.

The rest area is divided into rooms. Ling Jiangyue sat awkwardly in the public area, looking around vaguely.

The place is clean and tidy, but the conditions are not that good. The only things to eat are some biscuits, bread, energy bars, and a few cans of Jiang Yuxing's muscle-building protein powder.

She was given two energy bars and chewed them slowly, glancing at Lin Zheng from time to time.

Lin Zheng took the protective clothing he had taken off outside to deal with it intensively. When he came back, he rolled up his sleeves, revealing his arms that had been bruised at some point. The faint veins added a bit of sex appeal to the lines of his arms.

"Where will I sleep later?" She glanced at him from time to time, her little movements obvious.

"My room."

"What about you?" Lin Zheng stopped and straightened up to look at her.

"...Did I say something wrong?" Ling Jiangyue noticed his fluctuating sex pheromones and couldn't understand it.

She really just asked in passing. She occupied his room. Shouldn't he ask where he was going to sleep?

Lin Zheng probably felt that his reaction was wrong, so he looked away, took a white pill with water, and then said, "I'm going to Jiang Yuxing's room."

The white pills were packed in a small box and put into his clothes bag. He added: "The base has now activated signal interception. You cannot use your mobile phone to contact your brother. If you have something to say, you can use the satellite phone to convey it to him."

"Oh..." The topic changed and she almost didn't follow. "I don't need to contact anyone for the time being. If my brother can't find me, he will know that I am with you."

Ling Jiangyue lowered his head and took a bite of the energy bar, looking lonely.

The relationship between her disappearance and the banker's Ling family has not yet been made clear.

Ling Jiangyu got angry at Ling's house last week and dragged her away. So far, she has not contacted Ling Zhicheng and Zhuang Mei. They probably don't have the confidence either. After two phone calls, there was no news.

From Lin Zheng's point of view, she had almost no contact with her family.

A good rich young lady, except that her material conditions have returned to normal, everything else is the same as staying in an orphanage.

How pitiful.

Ling Jiangyue couldn't help but feel sorry for herself, chewing on the energy bar and looking at herself in pity.

A hand came up from the top of his head and stroked from his long hair to the side of his face. After a day, Lin Zheng was finally able to touch her skin to skin. He rubbed her with his fingertips and refused to let go.

"Then come back with me when the lab is over," he said.

Ling Jiangyue raised her face, still chewing an energy bar in her mouth, her side face slightly bulging, as if distant from his palm.

"When will it end? We don't have targeted drugs. The first time we come into contact with this fungus is a life-threatening emergency. We don't have time to test the reliability of the drug... Why do those people throw the problem to you? Is it because they think you Is there definitely a way?"

Lin Zheng: "Because of you. After resting for half an hour, I still need to trouble you to see their physical reaction after receiving the medicine."

"Isn't this the same as following those people's plans? They just want to use us as research assistants to draw the conclusions they want."

"Then don't we save Zheng Linlin and the others?"

She opened her mouth, but couldn't express what was in her heart.

There are many examples in the biological world of sacrificing some individuals to achieve group security. Isn't this the case with the ant Lai's flexorback ant? Sacrifice the Ophiocordyceps fungus that resolves parasitism on its own, just to prevent the Cordyceps fungus from spreading spores and continuing to infect other ants in the colony.

She was also prepared to sacrifice herself to make the experiments that tortured other people and other creatures go away.

But she knows that such an idea is not recognized by everyone. As TA said, she lacks the same kind of empathy.

"Then...then we can only follow their plan? It takes time and effort to research it and help them make wedding clothes."

Lin Zheng shook his head: "It's not certain whether we will help them. The infected people do not carry any devices to transmit information. Even if they choose people from the entertainment industry as experimenters, they can only judge whether the infected people will appear in the public. The camera determines whether the treatment is successful, and there is no way to know the specific treatment method. Their focus is on you, and as long as you are safe, the work is not in vain."

"If Zheng Linlin and the others can be cured, who will arrest them for research?"

"They have no shortage of experimental subjects, and research cannot be done only with experimental subjects. Jiang Yue, you are the most important." Lin Zheng ran his fingers through her hair and said warmly.
