Jǐn Chū was a little flower spirit who only bore fruit once every thousand years. During his first thousand years, he meticulously and expectantly prepared to produce his first fruit of his spiri...
"You want to help them?" Ye Ruisheng was naturally happy to hear his partner say this, but he was also worried. "Jinchu, don't be reckless."
"That's why I need to discuss this with you." Jin Chu leaned on Ye Ruisheng's desk. "My leaves have natural healing properties, but I don't know if they will work on this disease..."
"That won't work." Ye Ruisheng rejected him before he could finish. "You only have a few leaves. How can you withstand such a consumption?"
Ye Ruisheng was indeed happy that Jinchu was willing to help humans, but if it was necessary to hurt him as a prerequisite, he would definitely not agree.
"The medicine made from black plum grass has been sent to the hospital as a test drug. Let's wait and see the results."
Momeicao is the "Mo Le Mei" grass. The original name didn't sound very serious, and the grass was so green that it looked dark, so it was given the new name Momeicao.
Jinchu nodded. "There's another way. My energy can actually help heal wounds and enhance vitality."
Although they are not as useful or as effective as leaves, their energy is renewable and they will grow back by absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.
Ye Ruisheng: "This is an illness, not an injury..." But seeing Jinchu's expectant eyes, he changed his words, "How about I find a chance for you to try?"
Jinchu then said, "I gave some energy to the dozen or so children I met today."
"You..." Doing this is too risky. If it really works, those children will be cured and will definitely be studied repeatedly as examples. All the water, objects and people they come into contact with will be analyzed.
Jinchu touched his head and said, "My hands started to itch and I couldn't help it."
Ye Ruisheng asked someone to follow up on the children's conditions, and the feedback came back that the children's body temperatures had returned to normal when they arrived at the hospital, and other discomfort symptoms such as stomach pain, bone pain, dizziness, etc. had also disappeared.
Ye Ruisheng felt surprised but also felt a little relieved.
In the next two days, the children did not show any abnormalities. They were able to run and jump, and were no different from normal children. The hospital now listed them as key observation targets.
After a series of examinations, it was found that there was nothing abnormal in the genes of cells in their blood, saliva, skin, hair, and any other part of their body.
In this case, there are only two possibilities: one is that there was a mistake during the examination and they just have a common cold, fever and stomachache; the other is that they are indeed sick, but for some reason, recovery or onset is delayed.
However, the first scenario is unlikely. So many children were found to have problems, but not a single one was actually sick? You have to know that the teacher from the same school who was admitted to the hospital with them was indeed ill.
Then all that remains is recovery.
So after a heated discussion at the hospital, as Ye Ruisheng expected, these children were listed as key research subjects and treated as suspected recovered cases. The cases were compiled into a book and presented to Ye Ruisheng's desk.
Also presented were the death cases.
Yes, as of today, there have finally been deaths, with a total of 157 cases worldwide.
Ye Ruisheng first looked at the death records. Some died suddenly without warning, some suffered organ failure due to physical mutations, some bled to death after growing tails and then cutting them off without authorization, and some died of inexplicable suffocation. The autopsy revealed that the patient's lungs had collapsed and that he had developed immature gills...
In short, there are all kinds of strange ways to die.
If this information were to leak out, it would inevitably cause global panic.
Ye Ruisheng's face was grim. He pinched his brows and then looked at the suspected recovered cases. He soon discovered that there were not only those children, but also three military students.
It was night time, and Ye Ruisheng was in his Governor's Mansion. He immediately took the booklet and went to the mountain behind the Governor's Mansion to find Jin Chu.
Jin Chu was just turning into his original form, spreading himself like a pancake to absorb the moonlight.
Noticing Ye Ruisheng, he instantly transformed back into human form and ran down to greet him: "Are you done?"
"Jinchu, have you visited Liu Sanwang?" Ye Ruisheng asked.
Jin Chu was stunned for a moment before he realized who the name referred to. Yes, this rustic name was the name of the third brother. The first and second brothers were named Yiwang and Erwang respectively. They were very easy to remember and it seemed from their names that they were brothers.
"yes."
"Have you also transferred energy to him and the other two students in the same room?"
"No, what's wrong?"
Ye Ruisheng's expression was somewhat complicated: "They may have recovered and their genes have stabilized."
Jin Chu was shocked: "Recovered?" He thought for a moment, "Can I get better just by staying with me for a while?" Is his influence so great?
That's a really scary disease!
Is it too hasty to just do this?
"No, I've been with more than just them. Didn't I go on missions these past few days and send some infected people to the hospital? I was in the same carriage with them for several waves, sometimes for as long as an hour. And those people recovered, too?"
"No news yet." Ye Ruisheng frowned slightly. Could it be that this was not the reason?
He asked Jinchu to tell him everything he had done with Liu Sanwang and the other children. He immediately knew something was wrong: "You gave them dried meat? And after eating it, they felt relieved and no longer felt sick?"
"Yeah!" Jin Chu nodded heavily. "I was wondering at the time. Is that the reason?"
Ye Ruisheng was unsure, but then his brain started ringing: "General, the genes of all patients who have tried the Momei potion have stabilized, and their conditions are improving!"
The two looked at each other and said, "Let's go and take a look together."
The conditions of the patients who tried the medicine ranged from mild to severe. The mild ones had stomachaches and the severe ones grew hair all over their bodies, had veins bulging on their faces forming strange lines, had bulging eyes and were emitting electric shocks, and one had rickets, his bones melted and his whole body was as soft as rubber, and another had an inexplicable surge of mental strength, splitting headaches, and wanted to bang his head against the wall all the time.
In short, as trial subjects, we are looking for patients with different tragic conditions and pains to increase the diversity of the sample.
After being injected with the black plum potion, those with mild symptoms quickly felt better, while those with more severe symptoms felt less pain. Those with hairy bodies also began to lose their hair. Doctors examined these patients and found that their cells were no longer dividing and differentiating chaotically as before, and their genetic material had stabilized.
Nowadays, genetic stability is basically regarded as the criterion for judging recovery from illness.
"Judging from their cell culture results, their cell activity is far greater than before the onset of the disease. Simply put, their bodies are using rapid cell proliferation to compensate for damage and restore function!" The hospital director was so excited that he spitted as he spoke, without any of his usual dignity and seriousness.
But at this time no one thought there was anything wrong, because they were all very excited.
They requested more potions!
Ye Ruisheng was much calmer. There was no point in being calm. He couldn't produce so many medicines. The planting and production scale on W1 planet was not enough to supply tens of millions of patients on Belfield planet.
On the one hand, he ordered the recall of the medicines that had been distributed to the army earlier, and on the other hand, he took away all the monster meat on the market. Because of the limited quantity, he still diverted the monster meat supplied to the army first, and asked W1 star to send a batch as quickly as possible, both fresh meat and dried meat.
The drugs that were proven to be effective were given to the most seriously ill patients; saving lives was like putting out a fire, and they couldn't wait. Fresh meat and dried meat were added to the diet and distributed to other patients.
So the next day, some patients had a small piece of steak or a small piece of dried meat in their lunch.
Another day passed, and the treatment effect was reported. The genes of all patients who were injected with the medicine were stable, and the genes of about 60% of the patients who took the monster meat were stable.
Everyone who knew the result cheered, but Ye Ruisheng fell into deep thought.
He raised his eyes and looked at Nolin in the video: "What do you think?"
After receiving the order, Norin prepared to depart from Planet W1. It had already been four days since he left. His background was his makeshift laboratory on the spacecraft, with white walls and various instruments. His face was more serious than ever before as he uttered four words: "Genetic evolution."
"As I mentioned before, we've analyzed the genes of every species and individual we can. From Type A down to Type O, the colors corresponding to their gene levels are all red. The only difference is that the red for Type O is almost invisible, while the red gets darker as you get to Type A.
On planet W1, the large, powerful animals we call demon beasts have a genetic reaction color somewhere between dark and light red, darker than those of type O humans. The genetic reaction color of the black plum grass is even darker red, darker than most demon beasts.
The depth of color represents the genetic level, the darker the color, the higher the level. Certain substances produced by high-level genes can promote the evolution of low-level genes. This is only our hypothesis so far, but from the perspective of the Mayi organization's philosophy, this should be true.
Judging from the current situation, I can only assume that the genes of the light red Type O patients evolved after they ingested the dark red medicine and meat. Otherwise, I can't explain why their genes suddenly stabilized and their cell activity increased."
Nolin spoke clearly and calmly as he spoke a long list.
"But my soldiers eat monster meat every day. Apart from improving their physique and increasing their strength, their genetic level has not changed at all," said Ye Ruisheng.
"So, according to our hypothesis, the products of advanced genes need to be refined before they can be effective. As for those patients, perhaps their genes were originally in an extremely unstable state, so they evolved as soon as they consumed it."
Nolin spoke his guess, excited. "It's very easy to verify this. All we have to do is test the genetic reaction colors of those patients who have recovered."
"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Ye Ruisheng hung up. Jin Chu, who had been lying silently on the corner of the table, finally spoke up: "If that's true, then those patients will have a blessing in disguise."
If genes evolve, it is very likely that people will change from type O to type A or B in one fell swoop, right?
Ye Ruisheng smiled and nodded: "There is such a possibility." He squeezed Jinchu's hand: "Thanks to you."
“Well, I didn’t contribute anything.”
"The black plum grass is yours, and the function of the dried meat is discovered by you. This is the greatest contribution." Otherwise, if a group of type O patients did not think about it in that way, they would never be able to eat the monster meat.
Just imagine, if there was no black plum grass and the effect of dried meat had not been discovered, the solution would never have been found so quickly. Deaths have already occurred. If we delay for another day, more people will die. The consequences are simply unimaginable.
Meanwhile, Norin was excitedly preparing to make a big move upon reaching Belfield. Suddenly, there was a huge earthquake, and Norin frantically grasped the various utensils that had fallen. "What happened?"
The security guard outside the laboratory came in with a stern expression: "The spacecraft was attacked by a monster."
"Monster?" Norlin cried. "What kind of monster? Attacking from outside the ship? We're in space!"
Norin didn't believe it, but the people in the control cabin of the spacecraft couldn't help but believe it, because the shape of the monster actually appeared on the screen.
It is not the disgusting creature you might imagine, with a slimy black body, twisted body, many tentacles, and drooling saliva. Instead, it is furry, has four claws and a big tail. It looks a bit like a cat, and a little cute.
But no matter how cute it is, it cannot change the fact that this is a big monster, especially since it is shaking its head and swimming around, as if looking for a place that is easier to crash into and get inside.
