Chapter 183 The Virus That Caused the Extinction of a Race



Sensing a group of soldiers approaching from outside the building, Liu Kai's expression shifted between light and dark.

In the end, he put down the pistol.

"Officer Zhong, I've got this in mind. We'll settle this score later!"

"Hehe, anyway, we'll be spending a lot of time together for the next period of time."

"snort!"

Liu Kai snorted in dissatisfaction and raised his pistol again.

He decisively pulled the trigger on the men in black who were lying on the ground.

"Bang bang bang..."

The 10-person team had also arrived by then.

They carefully examined the bodies of the men in black and confirmed that they were all dead.

Only then did they feel relieved enough to dismantle the already destroyed bomb and untie the more than one hundred hostages on the 5th floor.

With Liu Kai's help, they carried them one by one into the two military transport vehicles downstairs.

In the end, only Zhong Linyu, who was still holding on, and Ji Zihan, who was completely powerless, remained inside the building.

Next is the interrogation time.

Inside the transport vehicle.

Qin Luofei leaned on Liu Kai's shoulder, her face contorted in pain, as she made a final stand against exhaustion.

The soldiers looked as if their mothers had died.

Because Zhong Linyu made Liu Kai confess the truth to everyone, including to Company Commander Xiao who was far away.

His "backup plan" was that small steel can.

It didn't contain any so-called anesthetic, but rather a mysterious virus that drives organisms mad.

Or perhaps it's a mutated strain of that mysterious virus.

The latest generation of variants that can infect humans.

Zhu Chaomin was studying the monkeys that Liu Kai had captured earlier when he accidentally found them and began breeding and researching them.

Its unique pathogenesis effect is also the reason why Zhong Linyu chose to use it here.

This virus is fundamentally different from the zombie virus that Liu Kai had imagined.

First of all, it is almost never transmitted through biting.

For large animals, especially carnivores.

Infection with this virus can cause people to lose their minds and go berserk.

For small animals, perhaps their physical condition is not strong enough to support it, so they do not show any symptoms.

But for humans and primates, which are omnivores of medium size, this is not a problem.

The symptoms of this virus are quite bizarre.

It will not make the host go berserk.

But the effect is that it makes people feel like they have no will to live.

With your mind completely relaxed and without any defensiveness, you'll answer any question.

Both the mind and body will become devoid of fighting spirit.

In short: Lie flat!

It also has the side effect of causing intense drowsiness.

Zhu Chaomin had explained the specific cause of the illness, but Zhong Linyu didn't quite understand it.

I only remembered terms like "hippocampus," "amygdala," and "inhibition of dopamine secretion."

The iron hoops on the heads of the monkeys at those nuclear power plants are not meant to suppress their madness.

Instead, it stimulates the brain to secrete dopamine to increase motivation.

Some people with extremely strong willpower can force themselves to fight against the virus.

Zhu Chaomin also said.

If one successfully resists this mental erosion, it is possible to produce viral antibodies in the body.

Zhong Linyu had long anticipated that Ji Zihan would not surrender.

So he came up with a so-called "backup plan," carrying a sealed steel can containing the virus with him.

He was a veteran of countless battles and considered himself a person with extremely strong willpower.

And that is indeed the case.

Release the virus and wait for it to take effect, forcing my lazy body to continue moving.

They captured Ji Zihan without bloodshed and easily extracted his secrets from him.

Moreover, he knew that the squad sent by Company Commander Xiao was also composed of elites, whose willpower must be extremely strong.

Those sent to help rescue the hostages will inevitably contract the virus.

If someone can withstand the virus and develop antibodies, it will greatly benefit vaccine development.

As for the matter of setting Liu Kai up, it was because Zhong Linyu had fallen into a habitual way of thinking.

He believed that Liu Kai's skills far exceeded those of normal humans, and he looked like a veteran of countless battles.

They likely have some hidden identity, and their willpower must far exceed that of ordinary people.

Such an excellent experimental subject should not be overlooked.

The design that caused so many people to become infected with the virus was a bit unethical.

However, this virus is not life-threatening and is merely a stopgap measure.

The main problem is that viruses already exist in nature, and now they are showing a trend of escalating.

Until the "Earth Thaw" plan is implemented.

Regardless of the outcome, even if the temperature only warms up slightly.

This will provide the virus with an excellent opportunity to multiply.

The consequences would be unimaginable if the virus were to spread widely among humans!

At first glance, this non-lethal virus seems to pose limited threat.

However, if you think about it a little further ahead, its terrifying nature is a thousand times, ten thousand times greater than the legendary zombie virus.

After all, many young people were chanting the slogan "lie flat" before the cold wave arrived.

But the result is always the same: you can't roll it up completely, and you can't lie down properly either.

It can barely maintain the normal operation of society.

If the virus truly causes everyone to lose their fighting spirit, then we're completely doomed.

People like Liu Kai can live a life of ease without worrying about food or drink, and they won't starve to death.

However.

Once the survivors lay down together, all that awaited them was to freeze or starve to death.

If officials collectively give up, the possibility of vaccine research will be completely extinguished.

If one day the Earth warms up, humanity, lying flat, will face raging, large beasts.

Just thinking about it makes the scene terrifying.

This is a colossal crisis threatening the extinction of our race, even more dangerous than the freezing of the Earth.

The most critical problem.
