Chapter 40 Zombie virus antigen and antibody coexist? H country's superpowers...
When Ji An was a ghost, he had seen Tang Tang use the crystal cores of the mutants to feed the space and the spiritual spring countless times. The space and the spiritual spring did not absorb the crystal cores of zombies, but for some reason they liked to absorb the crystal cores of the mutants.
Just now when Gu Jinsheng handed the zombie crystal core to him, Ji An didn't think too much about it and just reached out to take it, and the space crystal core produced an abnormal reaction.
Ji An became even more restless when he thought about this, so he got up and went to the laboratory.
After Ji An was busy with the nutrient supplements, he no longer cared about this side. Now the space storage props have been handled by Wu Youyang and his student Fan Rong.
When Ji An arrived, Wu Youyang and his colleagues were busy.
"Boss, why are you here?" Wu Youyang asked, "Aren't you feeling unwell? What did the hospital say? Rest for a few more days. I'll keep an eye on this."
Ji An said: "I am worried about the crystal core I bought at the auction, so I came to check it out. It won't take long. You guys don't have to be too busy, especially you. You were very tired from working with me on the nutritional supplements. Rest for a while and don't exhaust yourself."
Wu Youyang grinned, "Thank you for your concern, boss. I'm fine. I was just too idle before. I've had enough of it over the years. Now I just want to be busy. The busier I am, the happier I am."
"Boss, you don't know how much those researchers across the street envy me now. They're so jealous that they're busy as a bee." Wu Youyang felt refreshed by the envious and jealous expressions of his former friends and part-time colleagues.
"By the way, boss, I have some researchers with decent skills who want to switch jobs here. Would you like to take a look?"
Wu Youyang took out a thick stack of resumes, and this was the result of his careful selection. He was now Ji An's confidant, so of course he had to pick out those with bad character and inadequate skills. Otherwise, if he brought in an unqualified person and made Boss Ji unhappy, he would lose his position as confidant, and his early efforts in getting the right time, place, and people would be in vain. He would be like God feeding him but not being able to eat.
"Filter it first and then leave it there. I'll take a look at it when I have time." After Ji An gave the instructions, he walked into the laboratory.
About an hour later, Ji An came out again, and this time his face looked very ugly.
Wu Youyang asked: "Is there a problem with the crystal core?"
"Yes." Ji An's face was grim. "This is not a zombie crystal core, but a mutant crystal core!"
"A superpower crystal core?" Wu Youyang couldn't believe it. "Luckily, boss, you were cautious. Otherwise, if you absorbed it directly, you would be ruined!"
"I have to go to the headquarters. I'll leave everything here to you."
"Okay, boss, don't worry. When you're not around, I promise to manage everything very clearly and there won't be any mistakes."
Ji An also has a car now, which was given to him by Gu Jinsheng. Ji An was corrupted by them and also put the car into the space, but it was not a space necklace, but a space storage prop he made himself.
He got a rosewood bracelet. It was said that the rosewood in this bracelet was a thousand years old. Ji An didn't know if it was true, but it was undeniable that the bracelet was really full of spiritual energy and could be used to make space storage props. The space was not small, and each bead could create a space of four hundred to five hundred cubic meters. There were nine beads in total.
Ji An also has a space necklace. He has so much space that he doesn't need another space for a car.
When we drove to the headquarters, it was still quite busy because the representatives from various bases had not left yet. After showing his ID, Ji An was able to enter the headquarters smoothly.
"Ji An, why are you here?" Wan Xueying, who was about to go out to do something, saw him and came forward.
"I came here to look for Gu Jinsheng." Ji An said, "It's about the crystal core."
"Is there something wrong with the crystal core?" Wan Xueying asked.
"Um."
The two did not discuss the details, and Wan Xueying took Ji An to another reception room of Gu Jinsheng.
"I guess it will take a while, Boss. Country M didn't get the priority purchasing right for the nutrient supplements at the auction, and they are discussing this matter with you right now." Wan Xueying said.
Ji An nodded and said, "First, notify the people in the base who have bid for crystal cores at the auction not to use them yet. Bring them to me or Han Yaokun for inspection and make sure they are OK before absorbing them."
"Okay, I'll ask someone to notify them about this." Although Wan Xueying had the base for bidding on the crystal cores at the auction, she did not notify these people individually, but instead sent a notification to all of them at once.
This was to prevent some bases from discovering problems with the crystal cores and then selling them without mentioning them. A notice was also posted on the public television channel so that all bases in Xia Country would be alert.
It was an hour later when Gu Jinsheng came out. Gu Jinsheng said, "The people of Country M want to buy nutritional supplements. I agreed. However, it is not to cooperate with a certain base, but to supply the entire Country M."
The total amount supplied to Country M is definitely limited, or in other words, small, and definitely not available to all the people of Country M.
The purpose of doing this is to delay Country M for a while, so as not to let them starve to the point of being desperate and directly provoke a war.
Second, the Beijing base will send representatives over. The number of nutrients is limited, and all the major bases want them. They will not be able to unite, and the alliance that has just been established will collapse, and the M country will fall into civil strife again. If they are in civil strife, they will have no time to care about other countries, and the world will be peaceful.
Of course, the price of nutritional supplements cannot be as low as it is in China. It must be at least twenty times higher.
Even the United States will rush to get it. They have no choice but to do so. Their land is too barren and can't grow food. If they don't give it up, they will starve.
In fact, the price of one credit point for a bottle of ordinary nutrient supplement is only limited to the Beijing base. Even if the base obtains the purchasing rights, the price cannot be much lower. The price of ordinary nutrient supplements must be at least five yuan per bottle.
If the production of nutrient supplements increases in the future, the price may reach ten yuan per tube if other bases that did not bid for the purchasing rights want to buy them.
After Gu Jinsheng finished speaking, he asked, "That spiritual core is not a zombie core, but a superpower core?"
"Yes." Ji An said, "Have you given the crystal core used by the M country base to redeem people to Han Yaokun? Inform him. I hope he hasn't had time to use it yet, or has checked it in advance."
"I notified him, but he probably didn't have time to check it. Otherwise, if there was a problem, he would have not notified me." Gu Jinsheng called Han Yaokun, and Han Yaokun said he would come over right away.
About thirty minutes later, Han Yaokun, Zhao Zhen, Na Boyu, Zhou Fanxiu and Bai Na arrived.
"Xiao An, did you bid for that spiritual zombie crystal core?" At that time, the crystal core was traded secretly, and they didn't know who took it. But they really didn't consider Ji An, mainly because Ji An only had a third-level ability, and it was useless for him to ask for a high-level crystal core.
But at the end of the day, if you have money, who doesn't want good things?
"Yes." Ji An didn't explain much and said that it was Gu Jinsheng who took the photo for him.
Several people walked to the reception room and sat down, and Ji An handed the crystal core inspection data to Zhou Fanxiu.
"This is the spiritual crystal core report that Country M threw out in my hand. Take a look at it."
All those present were senior researchers who dealt with various experimental data on a daily basis, so they all understood it without Ji An's explanation.
The most obvious feature to distinguish zombie crystal cores from mutant crystal cores is the zombie virus antigens and antibodies.
The zombie crystal core contains zombie virus antigens, while the mutant crystal core has no antigens, only antibodies.
In layman's terms, the zombie virus is equivalent to an antigen. After it invades the human body, it will attack the target cells in the human body. The target cells will release antibodies after a series of reactions, and the antibodies and antigens will specifically bind.
You can also imagine it as a battle. If you win and completely destroy the antigen enemy, then the human body will be fine, it will evolve, and its special powers will be awakened.
If it fails, the zombie virus antigens will enter human cells, and the person will gradually become a zombie and eventually turn into a zombie.
In other words, people with special abilities are those who have defeated the zombie virus antigens. Antigens and antibodies may exist in their bodies at the same time when they are fighting, but they only exist in the body and will never surge to the brain.
Once the zombie virus antigens surge into the brain and invade the crystal core, this psychic can be 100% sure that there is absolutely no hope and can be directly declared to have turned into a zombie.
There can't be zombie virus antibodies in zombie crystal cores, the two absolutely can't coexist!
Ji An's test only needed to detect whether there were zombie virus antibodies in the crystal core, and his test result showed that there were.
Boyu looked at the medical report and asked, "Why does this crystal core still contain zombie virus antigens?"
Normally, a crystal core will either detect antigens or antibodies, but not both at the same time.
Ji An said: "Indeed, this is not normal. Our laboratory will check all the crystal cores sold at the auction before, but because of this characteristic, I think we only checked the antigens and not the antibodies when we checked it. After finding the zombie virus antigen, we identified it as a zombie crystal core."
That's true, this has never happened before, so when they checked, they only checked for zombie virus antigens, or only checked for zombie virus antibodies, and this was the case for all bases.
Country M is probably using this bug to deliberately confuse the public.
"Country M should be well prepared this time. They probably used special means to allow antigens and antibodies to exist at the same time. We are betting that this situation has never happened before. We will not check both antigens and antibodies at the same time." If the space necklace had not been hot, Ji An would not have necessarily checked antigens and antibodies at the same time.
Ji An said: "Antibodies will never appear in zombie crystal cores. Besides, as far as zombie crystal cores are concerned, what's the use of adding antibodies to them? But the crystal core of a mutant is different. Disguising it as a zombie crystal core can drive a mutant crazy."
A psychic can evolve his superpowers by absorbing zombie crystal cores. Similarly, absorbing the crystal cores of other psychics can also evolve his superpowers, and the speed of increasing the superpower level can even be faster than absorbing zombie crystal cores.
However, there is a disadvantage to absorbing the crystal core of a mutant to evolve, that is, the mutant who evolves by absorbing the crystal core of a mutant will become irritable and unable to control his emotions, and like the bloodiness and violence of war.
In the end, he will become insane and then go crazy.
The greatest threat is to psychics, who are people with mental abilities and their brains are the most powerful supercomputers in the world.
There cannot be any mistakes. Once there is any abnormality in the mind, it is equivalent to implanting an error code, and all calculations will go wrong, and the whole thing will be ruined.
In fact, the process of obtaining the crystal core of a superpower is very cruel. The crystal core of a superpower will disappear with the death of the human brain. As long as the person dies, the crystal core is gone. To obtain the crystal core of a superpower, you must dissect the superpower's brain while he is still alive and dig out the crystal core. Only in this way can you obtain the crystal core of a superpower.
This is an extremely inhumane and cruel thing, and is resisted by all people with special abilities.
This is not the case with zombie crystal cores. No matter whether the zombie is alive or dead, the crystal core will not disappear. If it exists, it exists, and if it doesn't, it doesn't exist.
Ji An couldn't help but sigh at the magic of nature. Although there was a zombie virus, it still left people with a glimmer of hope. In order to prevent humans from killing each other and becoming extinct, nature even made such a setting specifically for humans.
"Honey, what news did you receive?" Owen has a charming appearance, a tall figure, and is dressed sexy and fashionably. At a time when everyone is afraid of being infected with the zombie virus and wants to cover themselves up like a dumpling, she is wearing a low-cut camisole, and every move she makes is full of charm.
Du Ruanlan did not answer, but glanced at Ou Wen and Jiang Fuzhong's mobile phones. Just at this time, both of them received text message alerts.
After they opened it, their expressions became more and more solemn.
Jiang Fuzhong cursed: "Damn M Country, can you die if you don't cause trouble for a day?"
Owen raised his beautiful eyebrows, "Although I am half American, and can barely be considered an American, I have to admit that you are right."
Jiang Fuzhong was embarrassed, "Sorry, I didn't mean to target you."
Jiang Fuzhong was obviously older than Owen, but Owen seemed to be teasing a younger brother, and she gently slid her fingers painted with bright red cardamom across Jiang Fuzhong's dark face, turning Jiang Fuzhong's dark face into a purple liver color. "No need, I agree with what you said. Isn't it common knowledge that the United States cannot survive without causing trouble?"
"The mutant's crystal core?" Du Ruan repeated in a low voice, "It is impossible that these crystal cores were not checked before entering the auction, but now they say there is something wrong with the crystal cores. So Country M must have come up with a new method to confuse the mutant's crystal cores with the zombie's crystal cores, or to allow two virus antigens and antibodies that should not coexist at the same time to coexist at the same time."
Jiang Fuzhong was furious, and he didn't know if he was angry because he was teased. "Country M always likes to play these conspiracies and tricks!"
Du Ruanlan's eyes were deep, "I just wonder if these crystal cores were discovered to be abnormal by perceptive people, or if some psychics could not wait to absorb the crystal cores, and then abnormalities occurred?"
Owen's white finger touched her beautiful lips, "That's a good question."
Du Ruanlan fiddled with the crystal core he bought at the auction, his expression not angry at all, but rather interested.
Jiang Fuzhong looked at the two crystal cores with a painful expression on his face, "I hope there are no problems with the two crystal cores that Boss bought."
Owen chuckled, "Little brother, why do you look so nervous? It's not like you're paying for it. Our boss has plenty of supplies, so we don't need these little things."
Jiang Fuzhong turned his face away, not daring to look at Owen's gorgeous appearance. "As the host, the Jing City Base bid the most crystal cores, especially the spiritual crystal cores from Country M. This time they are bleeding a lot, and I don't know how painful it is!"
"The Jingshi base made a lot of money in this auction, so these few small things are not a big deal."
Du Ruanlan laughed briefly, "Not necessarily. As long as Country M still wants the nutrients, it's not certain who will suffer in the end."
Cong Xun of the North Base cursed on the spot, "Go to hell with Country M, how can it be so disgusting. Fortunately, the Beijing Base discovered it early, less than two hours after the auction. If it was a little later, someone with superpowers might have absorbed it."
"The Beijing base provides free inspections. Do you want to have them checked?"
"Check! Jingshi Base made a lot of money this time. They have two treasure chests of space storage tools and nutrients. They will definitely not deduct this little bit from us. Besides, the problem with the crystal core is definitely not simple, otherwise Jingshi Base would not have discovered it just now. We don't know how Jingshi Base checks it when we take it back. If we make a mistake, it will be troublesome."
Han Zhiwei at the South Base had a gloomy expression on his face. "Let's go to the temporary inspection room at the Beijing Base for testing now."
On the day Tang Tang was sent back to the third base by Zhou Qin, Zhou Qin drove all the people in the third base out of the base and detained all the food they had bought in the base. Of course, Zhou Qin was still trustworthy and returned the corresponding crystal cores to them.
At this time, several people were circling at the gate of Jingshi Base. Before they walked far, they received a group message from Jingshi Base. Ding Yong angrily cursed Country M. Tang Tang simply understood what happened and gloated: "If you do too much evil, you will perish. Jingshi Base is bullying too much. Even God can't stand it. Now it's good. I have bid for so many psychic cores, and I don't know which unlucky one used them. Now my brain power is useless!"
Thinking of that person, and the way everyone was defending him, Tang Tang's face was distorted with jealousy. "Ji An, he must be the one in trouble. He must have absorbed the crystal core of the psychic and wasted his brain power. Only then did the Jing City Base discover that there was something wrong with the crystal core!"
Silent rolled his eyes. As far as he knew, all the items being auctioned at the auction were high-level psychic crystal cores. Ji An was a low-level psychic, and it was impossible for him to absorb crystal cores across so many levels.
"Ding Yong, there's something wrong with your woman." Silent pointed to his head, then opened the car door and got in the driver's seat, sticking his head out and said, "Don't take her with you. Leave her here. Stupidity is contagious!"
Ding Yong actually couldn't bear to part with Tang Tang's appearance, but his own future was definitely more important than women.
"Okay." Ding Yong agreed, opened the car door and sat in the back seat. He had no intention of inviting Tang Tang in and just closed the car door.
Tang Tang was stunned. She rushed forward and banged on the car window. "Brother Ding, Brother Ding, please open the door. Don't leave me here. You know I can't survive by myself."
Silently stepped on the accelerator and the car rushed out, spraying Tang Tang's face with exhaust gas.
Tang Tang coughed and choked, and when she looked up again, she could only see the car body getting farther and farther away.
Tang Tang's tears flowed down her face. She screamed and yelled hysterically, but there was no one around her and only her screams were floating in the air.
I don’t know how long it was, but suddenly there was a movement behind me. Tang Tang was startled. She immediately stopped shouting and jumped up, looking around for a place to hide.
She hid behind an abandoned garbage dump, shivering, and saw through a small gap that a slow-moving zombie slowly walked out...
Several superpowers from Country H also received the notice. They were very dissatisfied with it. One of them said, "Free testing is all? Doesn't the Jingshi Base have no responsibility as the organizer?"
"They should have checked all the items in advance. It was their mistake to let the problematic crystal cores enter the market. They should compensate." The psychic who spoke thought of the large amount of supplies earned from the Jing City base, and a greedy gleam in his eyes.
"Yes, we should have been given a year's worth of cabbage each as compensation." The greed in the eyes of those who agreed was no less, if not more.
"Let's go and ask them for an explanation."
The temporary inspection room has been busy since its establishment, working all night long and only stopping the next day.
The main reason is that the testing at the Beijing base is free of charge, and no matter what the final result is, the crystal cores of those who come for inspection will not be confiscated and will be returned to the other party.
Many people did the tests with the mentality that it would be a waste if they didn't do it, and they wouldn't lose anything.
"Sorry, sir, I regret to inform you that your spiritual crystal core is a mutant crystal core." The staff said humbly.
Several psychics had very ugly expressions on their faces. They took back the crystal cores and took the test reports and were about to go out when they saw several angry psychics from Country H rushing in.
One of the psychics came up and tried to grab the staff member by the collar, but he was too weak. Before his fingers could touch the person, he was grabbed by the staff member and thrown to the ground.
Then some psychics quickly emerged from the corner, and before the H country psychics had time to release their powers, they pinned all the Korean country psychics to the ground and subdued them.
The H country psychic felt humiliated and ashamed, so he just ignored it and started yelling, "Everyone, come and see, the Jing City base store is bullying customers, and this is how they treat us psychics from other bases!"
It is human nature to watch the fun. Besides, outside the temporary inspection room, there were already people with special abilities from various bases who came to check the crystal cores, as well as some people from other bases or the Beijing base who did not buy crystal cores but came to watch the fun. In the blink of an eye, a group of people gathered around.
The H country's psychic looked at the crowd of people pointing and talking inside and outside, and a sinister smile of success flashed in his eyes.
The H country psychic said again: "Everyone, please judge for yourself. We psychics from other bases came to the auction out of trust, but we ended up bidding for a problematic crystal core. As the organizer, shouldn't the Jing City base compensate us?"
The H Country Psychic could barely hide the smugness in his eyes. He looked at the Psychics who were leaving with the test results and said, "Don't you want to ask for an explanation from the Jing City Base? The psychic Psychic Core is not cheap, and you are willing to accept this loss as your bad luck."
The few psychics who received the test results looked at these psychics who were lying on the ground in a mess like idiots, as if their brains had been eaten by zombies, a kind of stupidity that was like they were missing a brain stem.
The staff kindly pointed to the sign beside him and said, "As long as the bidder is willing, our base will buy back all the crystal core items at the original price."
The H country's psychics had never expected this result. In their opinion, so many crystal cores were an astronomical amount of materials. It would be a huge effort for their country H to mobilize the entire country. How could the Jing City base be willing to spend such a large sum of money to recycle some useless waste crystal cores?
They completely forgot that the Jingshi Base had just made a fortune, and even if they recovered all of it, it would only be a drop in the bucket. Moreover, even the former Jingshi Base did not care about that little bit of supplies, and the Jingshi Base was not a barren little place like Country H.
The H country's psychic was almost choked to death.
The H Country Psychic pointed at the Psychic who got the problematic test report and said, "They are lying. They don't want to take it back, right? Otherwise, why were you so angry that you took back a problematic Psychic crystal core, but didn't sell it to the Jing City Base?"
The man grinned at the H country psychic, cheerfully changing his angry expression when he got the results just now, "Of course we don't want to sell it? The crystal nucleus that can coexist with two virus antibody antigens that shouldn't exist at the same time is of great research value. Of course we have to take it back to the base for research to avoid being cheated next time. Even if we don't win this time, we will have to buy a test piece like this at a high price for research."
