The sky outside the carriage gradually darkened, and when the sun sank into the jagged horizon, Wang Jue finally straightened up and let out a lazy sigh.
"Haha... finally it's almost done..."
Hearing this sigh, Xu Xin, who was guarding outside the carriage, rushed in immediately.
Before the person reached the bed, the inquiry reached Wang Jue's ears first.
"How's Captain Qiu?"
"I don't know. I can only say that the situation is stable now. The specific results will not be known until after midnight."
Wang Jue said as he glanced at the sky outside.
Qiu Qianjun was lying quietly on the bed at this time. Although he was not struggling as violently as before, his trembling eyelids and the painful look on his face still indicated something.
"Do you have to wait until after midnight..."
An obvious worry appeared on Xu Xin's face, and she glanced at Qiu Qianjun on the bed with some worry.
Although he trusted Wang Jue's medical ability, to Xu Xin, this woman with gray hair was still a stranger.
If Xu Xin wanted to completely trust the other party in a short period of time, even if Xu Xin wanted to, decades of military service would not allow him to do so.
Staying vigilant and alert are the basic qualities of every soldier.
So in this state of mind, Xu Xin asked hesitantly.
"Well, Dr. Wang, can you tell me what happened to Captain Qiu? I heard from Chen Galen and Yu Hualuo, who are familiar with it, that Captain Qiu was not harmed during the rescue mission."
This question has been lingering in Xu Xin's mind for a long time.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Qiu Qianjun showed no signs of injury before he vomited blood.
If there was something wrong, it was just that Captain Qiu was coughing more frequently than before.
"Qiu Qianjun's body was indeed not injured. He was contaminated."
"Contaminated?!"
Whether it was Xu Xin who asked the question or Xu Xiaoxiao who was listening, they were all surprised when they heard Wang Jue's answer.
In their understanding, the word pollution usually appears in contexts such as environmental protection, and it sounds a bit strange when used with people.
"Yes, you can simply understand it as... well, it is parasitized by some kind of organism, just like the double-disc fluke is parasitic on a snail."
Although there was an impatient look on Wang Jue's face, he still thought for a moment, randomly picked up a few easy-to-understand words in his mind, and opened his mouth to explain.
But even so, Xu Xin and others only understood half of it.
"It's like a double disk...what kind of insect is it? Okay, you mean Captain Qiu's body is infected with parasites?"
"Is it because he was infected with parasites that Qiu Qianjun did the crazy thing just now?"
Xu Xin and Xu Xiaoxiao each expressed their own understanding.
Among them, the former was obviously more concerned about Qiu Qianjun's physical condition, while the latter girl focused on the other party's strange behavior.
"That's understandable."
Wang Jue did not deny the two people's understanding, and nodded to confirm.
The puzzled expression on Xu Xin's face faded a bit, but then he seemed to have thought of something important and quickly asked.
"If Captain Qiu is infected with parasites, will Chen Galen and Yu Hualuo also be infected? And Hu Kelie, after all, they are on a mission together."
According to Xu Xin's understanding, the Bayonet Team encountered no other dangers during the rescue mission except for the thin-winged monster they encountered in the alley at the beginning.
And the team members did not split up.
Since Qiu Qianjun was infected with the parasite under unknown circumstances, does that mean that other members of the team are also at risk of infection?
"Are you talking about those ordinary soldiers? Don't worry, they have not been tainted.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
dye……"
After hearing the news that the other soldiers were not infected by parasites, Xu Xinxuan finally felt a little calmer.
Since Wang Jue was a member of the Nine Sections, driven by curiosity, the soldier tried to exchange a few words with the other party in an attempt to obtain some useful information.
But Wang Jue's increasingly brief answers and the increasingly obvious expression of impatience on his face soon made Xu Xin realize that he might have asked too many questions.
So, in order not to annoy the other party, the soldier had no choice but to hold back his questions and retreated from the carriage.
Then Wang Jue sent away the other people in the carriage, including Shao Xiuqi and Uncle Ni who had been acting as background.
Only Xu Xiaoxiao was left.
After everyone left, Wang Jue closed the door of the carriage and turned to look at Xu Xiaoxiao, who looked confused.
"Daughter Xiaoxiao, I have something to tell you..."
A somewhat embarrassed expression appeared on the woman's face. Wang Jue scratched his short gray hair and spoke.
"The foreign genes injected into your body...maybe I made a mistake..."
"ha?"
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao, who was still a little lazy, sat up straight in an instant, his almond-shaped eyes widened.
"But you don't have to worry. It's just the wrong foreign gene. In fact, the therapeutic effect on your injury is still the same."
Wang Jue sped up his explanation speed.
"So what you're saying is that the foreign gene injected into my body is not the Arctic silver fox?"
Xu Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief when Wang Jue said that the wrong foreign gene would not affect his recovery from injury.
Thinking about it, even though she felt very uncomfortable after injecting the silver-gray injection, her ulcerated skin had indeed recovered as before.
Apart from being a little hungry, I didn't feel any obvious discomfort.
"Yes, the silver-gray injection is actually from the Rhinoceros... the white tube is from the Arctic Silver Fox..."
Wang Jue pointed to the empty injection next to Qiu Qianjun and added.
"Actually, there's no difference... As you said, my injuries have recovered, and I haven't turned into a rhinoceros... There shouldn't be any problem..."
The big-hearted Xu Xiaoxiao did not take the foreign gene mistake to heart. When Wang Jue asked her to choose, she actually had no idea. She just felt that Shao Xiuqi's suggestion made some sense, so she chose the Arctic Silver Fox.
Since I made a mistake now, and there are no obvious side effects on my body, just let it be.
"The difference... is actually quite big. Judging from your appearance, you should be a survivor who escaped from the city. You are really lucky to be able to survive the infection period and become an enhancer."
Seeing that the girl had no intention of pursuing the matter, Wang Jue breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, according to her character, she would not pay so much attention to a strange survivor.
After all, in her eyes, Xu Xiaoxiao is just an experimental subject that can arouse a small part of her interest.
The reason for the solemn explanation lies mostly in Wang Jue's rigorous attitude towards science and his enthusiasm for experiments.
In other words, even if the Xu Xiaoxiao in front of her was a guinea pig, she would still give the other party the necessary explanation.
Even if that behavior seems very sick.
"Yes...but you said there is a big difference between the two foreign genes. What is the specific difference?"
Xu Xiaoxiao's face subconsciously showed a touch of warmth, as if he was recalling something, and then he opened his mouth to pick up Wang Jue's topic.
"The specific difference lies in the ability to awaken in the future and the form in which the ability is embodied."
Probably out of guilt, Wang Jue seemed particularly patient when facing the girl's questions.
"Ordinary humans, after being infected with a secondary virus, have only a very small chance of surviving.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Those who fail to survive the infection period will become secondary infected, that is, zombies wandering the streets. "
"In humans who have survived the infection period, the secondary virus in the body will change its characteristics, from parasitism to symbiosis."
When Wang Jue said this, he saw the girl opposite's brows suddenly knit together, and then interrupted.
"That... is wrong. I remember that this is not what I heard before. Didn't it say that the infected person has a 15% chance of surviving the infection period? And after being immune to the virus, the human body should produce corresponding antibodies. , under the action of these antibodies, the body will be strengthened..."
Xu Xiaoxiao recalled the news he had heard from Li Zhihao before and verified it with Wang Jue in front of him.
"Fifteen percent probability? Antibodies? Haha, who did you hear these things from? People in the army?"
Wang Jue's expression was slightly startled, and then he smiled and said.
It's just that her smile is not friendly, and there is a hint of disdain in it.
"No, he's a man with gold-rimmed glasses. His identity seems to be the same as Dr. Wang's."
On the way back to the carriage, Xu Xiaoxiao had already guessed Wang Jue's identity from the reactions of the soldiers. The woman in front of him was not a military doctor in the army, but the rescue target of the army heading to Yunlong Town this time.
Member of the Nine Sections.
Although Ma Long and Zhang Jike did not tell the survivor team explicitly, Xu Xiaoxiao was still able to deduce some information from between the lines.
Besides, she had seen such a mysterious existence before at Boss Lu's house.
That elegant man with gold-rimmed glasses - Li Zhihao.
"A man with gold-rimmed eyes who has the same identity as me..."
After hearing these words, the smile on Wang Jue's face disappeared and he became serious.
Although she couldn't tell how much of what the girl in front of her said was true and believable, there was one thing Wang Jue was sure of.
The man with gold-rimmed glasses that the girl mentioned was a bit strange.
However, since he had not seen the real person, Wang Jue gave up after thinking for a while and put him aside.
"The strengthening of the human body by the secondary virus can be simply understood as the effect of antibodies, but from a scientific perspective, it is still the result of the virus in the body changing its survival characteristics."
"My understanding is that it has changed from a parasitic state that harms the host to a symbiotic state of win-win with the host."
"And this virus has a magical characteristic, which is that it can change the genetic sequence of the human body. By implanting foreign genes, the recipient itself can gain powers that do not belong to him."
"Generally, there are nine deletions in the modified gene sequence, and correspondingly, nine sets of foreign genes can be implanted."
"Like the Bully card game console?"
Xu Xiaoxiao suddenly interrupted.
"Uh...what is that..."
Wang Jue didn't seem to understand the Little Overlord card game console that the girl mentioned. His expression froze for a moment when he was asked such a cold question.
"It's just a game console. You can play the corresponding game by inserting a game card into the card slot."
Xu Xiaoxiaoyan explained briefly and comprehensively, taking a closer look at Wang Jue's appearance.
The other party looked to be in his early thirties, so he must be older than himself. He should have never seen that kind of old-fashioned game console.
"Oh, is it a card slot? It's almost..."
Not sure if he really understood the girl's metaphor, Wang Jue nodded and ignored the topic intentionally or unintentionally.
"Compared to ordinary people, the enhancer who has been enhanced by the virus is equivalent to having nine more card slots in his body. Each set of foreign genes implanted is equivalent to inserting a set of cards into the card slots."
"Different foreign genes will give the receptor different abilities. The difference I mentioned before lies in these different abilities..."
