Chapter 142 Collective Cancerization
Laboratory No. 2 is in the building next to Professor Connors’ office building. The graduate student Peter met tonight went there to work overtime.
The lizard man made a lot of noise, but it was mainly due to the fact that the building next to it was penetrated. Apart from the obvious vibration, this building had no big impact.
Compared with what happened to Peter, the deceased did not transform into a lizard, but only showed some symptoms, such as scales, and what looked like vertical pupils, but was actually blind.
What is even more noteworthy is that huge tumors appeared on their bodies
what happened?
Professor Connors quickly arrived at the scene and made a guess.
". Tumors proliferate rapidly. Lizard serum will speed up cell division, but it is unlikely to directly cause cancer.
It is more like the experimenter himself had cancer and then inhaled something similar. Lizard Pharmacy’s genetically modified drugs
As for why they are similar, I don’t think I need to say more.”
The lizard potion turned Peter into a monster, but Peter did not die, nor did he become cancerous immediately.
In terms of completion, the completion of the medicine used in Laboratory No. 2 is far lower than, or even less than 10% of, Professor Connors’ progress.
So how does cancer appear?
“Tumors appeared in the respiratory system organs of all the dead - I think the carcinogens entered through the respiratory tract.
I know the professor in Laboratory No. 2, and his direction is inhalation Potions, not injectable potions like mine.”
That said, this could be a laboratory safety incident - if so, it's easy to confirm.
George was noncommittal, but he soon received a call and received information to support this view.
". The hospital transferred the medical records. There are a total of 8 graduate students in this laboratory, including masters and doctors. 3 of them are in the hospital. They are not overworked and hospitalized.
They have been diagnosed Cancer, the remaining four are working overtime today, and one is taking a break, and then it becomes like this.
Professor, do you think this has anything to do with research?”
Connors hesitated: ".I think so, but the instruments here have moved slightly due to the movement tonight. I can't say whether the two will have an impact.
Look at this."
Connors pointed to the pharmaceutical analyzer: "This is the pharmaceutical analyzer sponsored by the Osborne Group, which is equipped with a small Canary device.
This is a kind of pharmaceutical analyzer that will A device that disperses drugs into the atmosphere and spreads them widely is just an idea - obviously Laboratory 2 has received more projects and funding than I imagined."
The analyzer has significantly moved away from the original. Connors took out a bottle of ammonia and inserted it.
If you get closer, you can smell a faint odor - the thing itself is leaking air.
"This is a serious accusation, so I won't say it directly - but I heard that their work is very intensive, and they have conducted countless animal experiments in the past few months, and none of them were successful. .
The DNA agent itself will stimulate cells, not to mention They may have inhaled multiple versions of the medicine, which had cross-effects.
For several months, cancer was inevitable.
And then today - it happened to be today that the experiment began. Having achieved a breakthrough, they plan to conduct animal experiments again”
In the glass, the dead mouse turned into a lizard, and there were traces of its blood on the glass. It had obviously hit the glass crazily.
Then these drugs spread and were inhaled by these four people. The cancerous cells spread and formed malignant tumors, compressing the internal organs and nerves, and they died on the spot.
The lizard serum they injected did not save their lives.
Connors, Leal and George looked at the scene and fell into silence.
Four promising graduate students and several children recovering in the hospital.
A lot of details were lost with the death of the deceased, not to mention the fact that a real lizard man showed up tonight to confuse things.
In the surveillance, we can see that people from the Osborne Group came tonight, but what does that mean?
The Osborne Group sponsors experiments and then requires the laboratory to produce results quickly. It is normal for the laboratory to work overtime.
Even laboratory accidents - safety regulations are strict, but it does not mean that accidents will not happen. This is also quite unexpected, but logical.
There doesn’t even need to be a supervillain here, just someone who happens to make a breakthrough.
George was the first to break the silence: "What kind of person is the person in charge of the laboratory?"
Connors opened his mouth, but did not say directly: "You will know in a moment." Soon, the police came to find him. Here comes the director of the laboratory—he is an academician of the National Academy of Sciences and has considerable say in the field. Most of the results are related to the Osborne Group.
When the police found him, he denied all speculation about laboratory problems and insisted that it had nothing to do with him and that he would talk to a lawyer.
Difficult high-class elites—George has dealt with many of these people.
George had a headache and asked the police to seal off the scene first, and then the three of them walked aside.
The three people have determined that what happened here is definitely related to the person in charge of the laboratory, but it is difficult to determine the responsibility. They can only try to restore the scene and then file a public prosecution.
In the end, the three of them didn’t say anything, but they were all thinking about one thing -
What is the attitude of the Osborne Group?
They don't even appear too many times, but they can be regarded as a background in the whole thing - are they intentional or accidental?
Things here are even worse. The media will definitely shift their attention to the lizard people and the Connors Research Laboratory.
George wants the truth.
“We have to restore the scene.” George said, “I need expert assistance.”
Lille said: “You already have an expert.”
"Peter? Are you sure he can?"
Lear nodded: "He has already turned himself into a lizard man. Isn't this professional enough? We will also provide the necessary technical and data support."
"Then let's get here first today. Right—" George pinched his eyebrows, feeling a headache.
"And Lille." George looked at Lille, "Our cooperation this time is impressive - but next time, don't be so reckless."
Lille Feel the same way.
In the cyberpunk world, he is in the dark.
In the Marvel world, he chooses to be a legal citizen in the open, and unexpected problems may arise at any time.
Dr. Connors returned to the laboratory and looked at the mess, feeling helpless.
"Oh Peter, he is a very smart child, but smart and low-self-esteem children can easily go to extremes."
Liel picked up a laptop from the ruins and swept it away of Ash and began to transmit some data:
"The inferiority side of him brought harm, but the smart part, I retained the biological data - Professor, our progress is rapid.
Artificial blood is possible, check these out. ”
The biological model data after complete injection of lizard serum is more comprehensive and more referential, revealing almost all the changes in the human body after the serum is injected, becoming a lizard man and returning to human form.
Artificial blood is an absolute A feasible idea!
Not only that, cells that can no longer divide, such as bone cells, red blood cells and nerve cells, are also very likely to be artificially cultivated.
But blood is the best! The direction to start with.
Connors was so surprised by the gift that he opened his mouth from ear to ear. He picked up the computer and went to admire it.
Looking at the messy laboratory, Lille didn’t have much emotion - anyway, there was a large piece of land over there in Hammond.
The rebuilt laboratory will be safer and more private.
However, this incident will definitely have a negative impact on the company, and we cannot let biotechnology incidents affect the development of information technology.
It is time to separate the two companies.
And we need to find some allies.
