Lu Yu chuckled and asked, lighting the bat corpse on the ground.
"How do I know? If I knew, would I be so anxious to take samples from you?"
Lao Xia's face wrinkled up and turned into a stunted chrysanthemum again.
"Originally, I was worried that you might explode into a pile of minced meat at any time under the influence of the king-level virus. Now you have become the carrier of the king-level virus. This makes my previous actions very stupid..."
With that said, Lao Xia took out the metal rod hidden in the folds of fat and threw it on the ground.
"What? No more?"
Looking at Lao Xia's behavior with some surprise, Lu Yu asked.
"No, you have now become the carrier of a king-level virus. To me, you have the same properties as Experimental Subject No. 7, and have no research value..."
As he said that, Lao Xia turned his head and moved his body back.
Lu Yu, on the other hand, bent down and picked up the thin sampling rod on the ground.
After a brief exploration, Lu Yu figured out the principle.
I pressed lightly with my fingertips, and heard a snapping sound. The tip of the thin rod came out, revealing the sampled flesh and blood.
Although it was only a little bit the size of a fingernail, it was enough to prove that it came from Lu Yu's heart.
"Is it true that my body will not die as long as the king-level virus does not break out and the spiritual energy in the body is not exhausted, as Meatball said?"
Although it sounds unbelievable, the fact is right in front of him and he must accept it.
And if you think about it from another perspective, if the king-level virus does not break out in a short time, your body will be equivalent to being fully strengthened. Things that you could not do because you were too weak before are no longer obstacles.
"I found it... I found it... the sample of the first-generation king-level virus! Fortunately, I was cautious and got an extra copy..."
Lao Xia, who had been rummaging for a while, made a happy sound. Lu Yu looked up and found that the other party's deformed hand was holding a palm-sized cubic metal block.
Lu Yu didn't ask, because he knew that Lao Xia, a talkative man, would definitely explain it to him.
Sure enough, before the flashlight beam shone on the cubic metal block, the meat ball's seven legs began to move left and right, driving the slender neck above it to swing back and forth.
"Come on, come on, classmate Lu Yu, come here quickly..." The deformed arm waved, signaling Lu Yu to come closer.
Although the relationship between the two is no longer as tense as before, Lu Yu is still wary of Lao Xia.
His body only moved forward slightly, then stopped where he was and stopped getting closer.
"If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Ouch, you..."
When Lao Xia saw Lu Yu's guarded face, as if he was holding a landmine in his hand, he immediately muttered something in a high voice.
"Why are you being so cautious? As the carrier of a king-level virus, how could I possibly harm you? If you take a step back, you are Lu Qian's child, so I can't even attack you..."
While explaining, Meatball moved and brought the metal block closer.
"Besides, even if I want to kill you, I have to have the ability, right? Look at the head on the ground. You have fucked me thirteen times before..."
Seeing that Lao Xia was going on and on, Lu Yu quickly interrupted with his hand.
"Okay, okay, stop it. If you have anything to say, just say that our relationship is not good enough to completely let down our guard..."
"Okay, I came up with this trick for your own good..."
As he spoke, three deformed arms stretched out at the same time, presenting the metal block in front of Lu Yu.
"The first-generation king-level virus is stored here. It is the only experimental sample left in Research Station No. 7."
"What are you going to do? Inject this into me?"
After taking a closer look at the metal piece, Lu Yu discovered that the thing was not completely solid.
In the center, about the size of a coin, there is a transparent column running from front to back.
Inside the cylinder, there is about one milliliter of pink liquid.
"Well...that's really what I thought..."
Lao Xia nodded very cautiously, his face full of defense.
It seemed that he was worried that if he didn't say a word correctly, the young man in front of him would suddenly turn against him and grab his head.
"How likely do you think I am to cooperate with you?"
There was a joke between his brows, and Lu Yu asked lightly.
"One hundred percent, you don't want to die, right?"
Faced with Lu Yu's strange question, Lao Xia seemed much calmer.
"Although you have become the carrier of the king-level virus, the king-level viruses you carry are all products of inactivation and do not have the ability to reproduce on their own."
"Although maintaining this state will not cause the host to die immediately, it will not last long."
"According to experimental research data, the longest survival time of an organism infected with a king-level virus will not exceed a week. Of course, I am referring to the vector."
Hearing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a little conflicted.
"Then how did this thing live for so long?"
As he spoke, he pointed to the bat corpse on the ground again.
Under the light, Lu Yu could see that the corpse had begun to rot, especially the neck and wings, where white bones were exposed.
"It's an exception, it sucks blood..."
His deformed palm scratched the fat folds on his fleshy balls, and Lao Xia looked helpless.
"In the past month, it has almost sucked up all the biological samples in the research station. If I hadn't been here, it would have escaped long ago..."
"Oh? Sucking blood can delay the outbreak of the virus?"
"That's right, the principle behind it won't be clear for a while. I haven't even studied it yet..."
While talking, Lao Xia took out another syringe from the machine on the side and handed it to Lu Yu.
"As long as you are injected with the first-generation king-level, all the inactivated viruses in your body will be eliminated, and your death crisis will be temporarily resolved, but this does not mean that you can sit back and relax."
"You have one month to find Apostle 'Andre'. After you find it, it may have a way to keep you alive..."
After saying that, Lao Xia stuffed the things directly into the young man's arms, regardless of whether Lu Yu reached out.
"Andre? Apostle?"
Lu Yu murmured it several times, feeling like he had heard it somewhere before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Yes, all the apostles can accept the king-level virus and gain promotion from it. After all, this thing exists just for them, so they must have ways to deal with it..."
"Although they are most likely to be dismissive of this, it is better to try than to die. When the time comes, you can reveal your identity as Lu Qian's son, and maybe you can help..."
