"So, Chou Chou is no longer an exception." Chen Yiqian said.
"We have analyzed the components of 'amber' in the past few days and found that this golden liquid is actually 'chitosan', or a high-molecular chitosan."
Su Yu had never been exposed to this kind of biological knowledge, but the meaning of the word chitosan popped into his mind instantly. Chitosan is the product of removing part of the acetyl group from the natural polysaccharide chitin. It has been widely used in the medical field. It has film-forming and antibacterial properties, can protect wounds, and can also promote wound healing. The polymer chitosan mentioned by Chen Yiqian should have a stronger structure than ordinary chitosan.
But even though she knew this knowledge, what Chen Yiqian said was still a bit unclear, so she opened her mouth and asked:
"What does this mean?"
"This shows that some zombies have the ability to repair their own wounds." Chen Yiqian's expression became serious: "Sister Su Yu, if a creature changes in a direction that is conducive to survival, what should it be called?"
"What?"
"Evolution." Chen Yiqian's expression was cryptic.
It was evolution again, and Su Yu couldn't help but think of the zombie behavior class taught by Gao Zhengyang.
"Are you saying that the behavioral ecology of 'Gao's hypothesis' is established?"
Chen Yiqian nodded: "You are right to say that, just like the changes you see in the zombies that can understand instructions, and even have vision, hearing and emotions, are all a kind of ecological evolution. But -"
He changed the subject: "Sister Su Yu, have you ever thought about it, the creature discussed in the 'Gao's Hypothesis' is a zombie, but why are zombies called zombies? Why is it said that the evolution of zombies cannot be caused by the mutated ergot bacteria? Has it evolved?"
Ergot mutans...evolved.
Su Yu instantly understood what Chen Yiqian meant.
The evolution of zombies is just an appearance, but in fact, it should be that the mutated ergot bacteria parasitizing the zombies' brains have changed.
It has been nearly a hundred years since the zombie outbreak, and the mutated ergot bacteria seems to be becoming "smart". Instead of asking for it regardless of whether the host is dead or alive, it chooses to start repairing the zombie's body and achieve long-term use.
if it is like this……
An idea flashed through Su Yu's mind. Unfortunately, countless complex knowledge rushed into her head instantly, preventing her from grasping that glimmer of inspiration.
She picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from her forehead, then faced Chen Yiqian: "So, senior, do you want to include all of this in your papers and reports?"
"Yes, I have this plan." Chen Yiqian replied.
"However, it seems that someone is covering up these findings for unknown purposes. If these are really made public, will it be dangerous?"
"That's their business," Chen Yiqian showed his white teeth and smiled nonchalantly, "I am aboveboard and not afraid."
"Then I suggest you ask the team members to try not to reveal the news before the paper and report are published." Su Yu said seriously.
"Okay, don't worry too much."
Chen Yiqian looked at Su Yu's profile and suddenly remembered the girl who was fearless in scientific research...
"Junior brother, do you think you can only go to the battlefield by studying zombie military science?" The senior sister smiled and patted his head: "Every major in the college has the courage to use flesh and blood to block the door of hell."
Those were the last words she said to him.
So now, he has to do it without any hesitation.

Preparations for the demon hunting competition are in progress in an orderly manner.
The actual combat base has been closed to all students. In the next week, the college will make some minor adjustments and inspections to the terrain and some buildings inside.
Whether it is in the college forum or in real life, the most talked about topic among students has become the Demon Hunting Competition, and everyone is predicting which team will be the champion this time.
Since the winner of the Demon Hunting Competition can represent Section C in the international Global Cup, this competition has attracted not only the attention of college students and teachers, but also the residents of Central City.
Su Yu heard from Wu Xu that even the black market had opened the market, and he also symbolically pledged 100C coins to their team.
The official website of the college has begun to warm up. The voting channel for the support rate will be open to the entire C section. Anyone with a genetic ID can have the right to vote once a day.
There are thirty teams, and their cannon fodder team is currently ranked twenty-fifth on the support list. This is thanks to Chen Yiqian's basic popularity in the academy, otherwise they would not get much support based on their devalued name.
Even Wang Pu's God-Slaying Team ranked twenty-third in the class, which made Zheng Wang very aggrieved.
Fortunately, three days before the start of the Demon Hunting Competition, the academy released posters for each team.
On the poster of the Cannon Fodder Team, Su Yu wears a camouflage headband on his forehead, with his neat short hair tied behind his ears. He carries a black bow and arrow behind his back and looks forward with sharp eyes. Hao Tian stood side by side with her, her long hair tied high with a camouflage headband. She held an A-190 submachine gun in her arms, smiling sweetly at the camera with her eyes bent.
Three boys stood in a row behind the two of them. Zhao Dacheng stood upright with a rifle on his back and a stern expression. Chen Yiqian lazily held the gun in his arms and raised his chin arrogantly. Only Zheng Wang raised the rifle above his head with one hand and laughed with his mouth wide open.
There were not many girls participating in the entire Demon Hunting Competition. Most of the teams were composed of boys, and some had a female classmate here and there, who still looked cold and fierce.
Therefore, as soon as the poster of the Cannon Fodder Team appeared, it attracted a lot of people's interest.
Hao Tian has even been given a wonderful nickname - Sweet Girl with a Submachine Gun because of the sweet smile on the poster.
But she was very dissatisfied with this nickname, and felt that the "Bloodthirsty God of War" that Su Yu began to spread widely was more domineering.
The good looks of Zhao Dacheng and Chen Yiqian, as well as Zheng Wang's sunny smile, also attracted a lot of fans to the Cannon Fodder Team.
After the poster was released, on the last day of the pre-heating deadline, the support rate of the Cannon Fodder Team had surpassed Wang Pu's God-Slaying Team and became the 19th place in the rankings.
Of course, the number one favorite to win is still the No. 1 Hunting Tigers team, and Shan Yi’s cool stinky face still occupies the largest area at the top of the official website.
The second-ranked captain of the second hunting tiger team is a girl with short hair who looks super cold, named Ren Huan. It is said that she is fierce and ruthless in her actions and her marksmanship is very accurate. She is a third-year zombie military major. The biggest gossip is that she has been openly pursuing Chu Wei since she won the championship last year, and she has not restrained herself even after being warned by the academy.
There was an overwhelming amount of information about the contestants in the Demon Hunting Competition, and the competition kicked off in this heated atmosphere.
