Office of the Vice President of the Medical Center.
Zhuge Yayun, before the end of the world, was a professor in the field of molecular genetics in China.
She put down the whole genome sequencing report in her hand and glanced back and forth between the data and her two favorite students.
"The situation is more complicated than we anticipated."
The report showed that whole-exome sequencing of the seven newly admitted patients detected abnormal expression of the CHS1 gene, and these sequences showed typical "gene plundering" characteristics, actively replacing the original human collagen coding region.
Chen Ming and Su Ying exchanged glances, and the former handed over a hormone test chart. "Even more abnormal are the hormone levels. These male patients' serum progesterone (P4) concentrations are as high as 2850 pg/mL, 3.2 times that of women in late pregnancy. Meanwhile, their luteinizing hormone (LH) levels are completely suppressed, completely contradicting the feedback mechanism of the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis."
"There's something even more difficult." Su Ying pulled out another set of data and lowered her voice. "The test results for those pregnant women are out."
She paused for a second. "The CHS1 gene in their unborn children is showing signs of cross-species gene drive, actively modifying the DNA of surrounding normal cells."
"Teacher, these people are the spouses of the reservists. The current situation is that not only are the reservists problematic, but their spouses will also be implicated."
"Huang Anren is a liar. This data is the most powerful evidence. We must stand up and expose him!" Chen Ming said excitedly, "If we let him continue to do whatever he wants, everyone in the base will die! No! It's not just the base, it's a disaster for all of humanity!"
"All of humanity will be wiped out!"
Zhuge Yayun rubbed his brows. "You guys weren't discovered when you were doing these tests, right?"
Su Ying shook her head: "We were very careful, and did it secretly. The data records were also deleted immediately."
"Clear these reports quickly. Memorize all the important data. Don't leave any written records." Zhuge Yayun said seriously, "I know you want to reveal the truth, but we alone are not enough. We can't rush this matter!"
Su Ying and Chen Ming nodded, both looking helpless and feeling extremely painful.
There was a knock on the door at this moment. The master and his two disciples looked stern. Chen Ming quickly put away the paper report and stuffed it in the drawer.
Su Ying stood by the door and asked outside cautiously: "Who is it?"
A strange female voice came: "I'm a new doctor. I have a supply approval document that needs the vice president's signature."
Su Ying turned around and opened the door only after Zhuge Yayun nodded.
A tall female doctor in a white coat walked in. Su Ying and Chen Ming were just about to leave when they didn't expect that after the other party came in, she simply closed the door and locked it.
Zhuge Yayun and the other two looked at her in surprise.
Zhou Feifei gestured for silence. "Deputy Dean, I'm new here. We're running low on some medicine in the warehouse, but the Medical Office won't approve it. I need to share this with you..."
As Zhou Feifei spoke, she lowered her head and began to look around the room. Zhuge Yayun and the other two thought her behavior was strange, but they did not act rashly.
Suddenly, Zhou Feifei paused and signaled Zhuge Yayun and the other two to be quiet. The three walked towards her cautiously, and saw Zhou Feifei gently lift the coffee table a little. After tilting the angle, they could clearly see a miniature patch on the back of the coffee table.
The three people's expressions changed instantly, and they all thought of one thing: a bug!
Zhou Feifei gently put down the coffee table and motioned Zhuge Yayun to answer her question.
Zhuge Yayun was sweating profusely, but she remained calm. "Medicines are in short supply right now. Some of them won't be approved by the Medical Department..."
