Chapter 287 You are worthy of being brothers and sisters
"You seem a little disappointed." Ouyang Xiao looked at Hanabi who was "playing" with his spiritual pet. He looked very calm, not at all like he had always been before. The look of being imprisoned.
"Surprised." Zhou Lu corrected, "Senior, your condition is much better than I expected."
"That guy is much more restrained than I expected." Ouyang He said with a smile, with a disappointed expression on his face, "Thankfully I came here after being infected."
Zhou Lu originally wanted to exchange a few words, and then turned the topic to Ye Qingyu. .
He and Ouyang Xiao were not very familiar with each other in the first place, and the senior student always asked the original person to do some strange things, which led to the original person not having a very good impression of him.
This perception also affected Zhou Lu to a certain extent.
After much thought, he found that the only thing he and Ouyang Xiao had in common was probably Ouyang Xiao's fiancée Ye Qingyu.
But before he started talking, Zhou Lu couldn't hold back when he heard Ouyang Xiao's words.
"The infection you are talking about is..."
Zhou Lu silently took two steps back.
As an expert in the resurrection of ancient spirit beasts, Ouyang Xiao's favorite thing to study is the ancient microorganisms unearthed from the ice. Many genes of ancient organisms were screened and extracted from the genes of these microorganisms.
Among them, Ouyang Xiao’s favorite thing to play with is ancient viruses.
When these "cuties" run into host cells to replicate themselves, they sometimes steal the host's genes into their own genomes - this is also the main source of Ouyang Xiao's search for ancient biological genes.
During this process, Ouyang Xiao inevitably had to test the infection ability of these viruses.
Therefore, as soon as Zhou Lu heard the word infection, his vigilance suddenly increased several degrees.
Ouyang Xiao seemed to have guessed Zhou Lu's fear, and said with a smile: "Relax, I'm not a scourge. This virus is almost the same as rhinovirus for beast control masters. At most... …Gives you some rhinitis.”
“I feel like this has happened. It's very scary." Zhou Lu said helplessly, "I didn't expect the senior to be doing such dangerous things after not seeing him for several years."
"Meow! You pervert!" As he spoke, The laughing pet meowed, finally getting rid of the shackles of Hua Huo, and quickly jumped back to Ouyang Xiao's shoulder.
Ouyang smiled and rubbed the hair of his cat, and then said: "I am not strong enough to kill Qi Lin, so I can only use this method to avenge the teacher."
Zhou Lu understood Ouyang Xiao’s plan at once: “Does this virus have a special attack on immortals?”
“I call it a delicious virus. I found it from a ruins tens of thousands of years ago. ." Ouyang Xiao said slowly, "It was originally only able to infect organisms of the order Blattida. It can make the infected person exude an amazing attraction to its kind, attracting its kind to attack and eat it, and in the process, it will kill itself. spread among the group Come. An organism infected by this virus will die within three days, but the infectivity of the virus will not diminish for three years after death."
After a pause, Ouyang Xiao said: "I do. After a few minor genetic adjustments, it can now infect humans, but only immortals with activated RCS genes will be truly affected by the virus."
"..." Zhou Lu fell silent after hearing what Ouyang Xiao said. A long while.
"Madman." He came to the final conclusion.
Although he didn't know what the RCS gene was, he probably understood Ouyang Xiao's plan, which was to kill all the immortals through viral infection.
As expected, these guys who study genes and biology cannot be messed with.
Zhou Lu silently made up his mind.
Who knows what these guys will suddenly pull out.
“But this virus dies too quickly now.” Ouyang Xiao is actually a little dissatisfied, “If it dies within three days, the virus will not be able to spread at all. But this problem is not that big. I haven’t had time to fully verify its impact on unawakened humans and humans with activated beast master genes.”
When Zhou Lu heard Ouyang Xiao's words, a crazy idea suddenly came to his mind.
He subconsciously wanted to veto it, but combined with Ouyang's smiling look and his past actions, he almost said with certainty: "Don't you want to let it infect the whole world?" Human?”
Ouyang Xiao smiled and petted the cat and asked: "Why not? If it is safe enough for normal humans."
In Ouyang Xiao's plan, as long as all mankind is infected with this delicious virus, then the world will There will be no living space for immortals.
Zhou Lu was stunned for a moment, thought for a long time, and finally decided to use his shallow biology knowledge to make a little struggle: "In this case, sooner or later there will be immortals who are immune to this virus...right?"
"If you want to be immune to this virus, the RCS gene on your chromosome 16 must mutate. Once this gene mutates... even if only one pair of bases changes, you are no longer an immortal by definition. Because you have lost the ability of immortals to swallow all things and grow.”
“ I think it would be easy for humans to deal with a waste who is crazy about eating to satisfy himself." Ouyang Xiao touched his chin and nodded, "If we can't deal with such a guy, we might as well just destroy it."
Zhou Lu felt that he could not keep up with Ouyang Xiao's brain waves.
Sure enough, the senior sister and he have a common language.
Damn it, you two are truly brothers and sisters.
Zhou Lu thought of the bacteria that Wu Xiaoqing wanted to develop with great interest.
He silently mourned for these immortals in his heart. After provoking these two great devils, they might not even be able to live the average lifespan of a human being, let alone the average lifespan of an immortal.
After finding Ouyang Xiao, the matter in Suizhou came to an end.
Qi Lin's attack was too ruthless. Except for the few who left with Tian Buyi, the senior officials of the Immortal Kingdom were basically wiped out by the entire army.
It's a pity that Qi Lin didn't leave anyone alive, otherwise the nightmare of death might be able to kill these guys in one fell swoop.
But now that Fairyland has been found, Yangui has no value in existence.
On the way Zhou Lu took Ouyang Xiao to the Invalides, the branches near Phoenix Island revealed their camouflage of seaweed and duckweed under the control of Hua Huo.
“This general knowledge fairy looks very strange.” Ouyang Xiao didn’t know that the two people on the side were strangling the immortal in Yangui and observing the Qiudao tree with interest.
While he was observing Qiudaomu, Qiudaomu was also observing him.
Ouyang smiled.
Qiudaomu can be said to have a profound memory.
Not to mention the proposal letter, when this guy came to the Invalids for the first and only time, the way he looked at the experimental samples was really uncomfortable.
Although Qiu Daomu doesn't like Ouyang Xiao's character very much, it can even be said that he hates it.
But it did not use its power as a divine beast to suppress Ouyang Xiao in any way.
This researcher with strange thinking is the insurance in Qiudao Mu's mind and a powerful medicine to save mankind.
If the cultivation of Mengyu Flower fails, then Ouyang Xiao is used to see if Mengyu Flower Fairy can be solved from a scientific perspective at the cost of destroying all mankind.
Qiu Daomu actually has no hope for this because she cannot see such a future.
However, its capabilities also have limitations.
It can only see the future that it can understand. In other words, it can only observe when the trajectory of future destiny conforms to the worldview constructed by its own knowledge.
This is also the reason why Qiudao Mu is so crazy about acquiring knowledge.
It needs to be as close to omniscience as possible in order to be able to see all the possibilities in the future as much as possible.
Is it possible for Ouyang Xiao to completely solve the immortal and Mengyu Huaxian? That must exist, but the method he used must be a method that Qiudao Mu didn't know about.
Qiudao Mu is no longer surprised by this.
Since the explosion of human beast-controlling technology two hundred years ago, these intelligent creatures have continuously refreshed the knowledge of Qiudaomu.
During that time, disruptive knowledge was produced almost every year.
It is precisely because of the addition of this knowledge that Qiudao Mu can see the future destiny and possibilities more and more clearly.
It is indeed true that human beings are now inseparable from the beast control system with Qiudao Mu as its core.
But if you really want to say it, Qiudaomu is already somewhat inseparable from humans.
It requires humanity’s massive new knowledge output every year to maintain its accurate predictions about the future.
"You are a Qiu Dao Mu, not a fairy with knowledge." Ouyang Xiao observed for a long time and finally came to a conclusion.
Qiudao Mu also stopped pretending and crossed his shoulders: "Yes, I didn't expect you to do such a crazy thing. This is a bit unlike you."
In Qiudao In Mu's impression, Ouyang Xiao is an extremely calm researcher, and he strictly abides by the rules of human researchers.
His behavior of injecting the virus into his own body obviously violated the basic principles of a researcher.
Ouyang Xiao said with a helpless smile: "I tried to calm myself down. But the teacher is my guide, and it was he who found the direction for my future. When I knew that I could kill the immortal, I cannot rationally judge the consequences of this matter.”
As he said that, Ouyang Xiao spread his hands and smiled heartily: "Well, at least the result is not as bad as I thought."
"You should be lucky that this virus is a very stable double-stranded virus." Qiudao Mu Said helplessly.
"Huh? Do you also know about this virus?" Zhou Lu said slightly surprised.
Qiu Daomu glanced at Zhou Lu and said: "This virus has been discovered and submitted to different research institutes six times before and after. Of course I know it."
The delicious virus, as the name suggests, can make people Your own infected become delicious.
What Qiudaomu didn't say was that Ouyang Xiao was not the only one doing research on gene editing of this virus.
Different from Ouyang Xiao's writing direction that pursues killing, several research institutes are studying how to use the delicious genes of viruses to make the meat livestock raised by humans more delicious.
"Just right." Ouyang Xiao said suddenly, "Then you can help me review this paper."
As he said that, he took out the edited paper on delicious viruses , and told Qiudaomu his plan.
“Research on the side effects of this infection cannot be completed by myself. It requires research from all over the world.” Ouyang Xiao said.
"Have you ever thought that this will make all human beings extremely delicious in the eyes of immortals? In the three days after infection, a crazy immortal will kill a large number of innocent civilians." Qiudaomu looked at the paper. , said.
"Sometimes you can only choose the one that is not so bad from two bad options." Ouyang Xiao's expression did not change at all.
"I will help you coordinate." Qiudaomu nodded, and finally accepted Ouyang Xiao's paper.
She asked this question not because she objected to the plan.
In fact, as long as all the current batch of modern immortals are eliminated, Ouyang Xiao's plan can fundamentally destroy the soil where the immortals were born - provided that this special delicious virus passes the study of side effects and is determined It is a virus that can coexist with humans.
Zhou Lu did not participate in the conversation between the two. He was encircling and suppressing the last remnant Yangui party from the perspective of the branch.
The immortal in Yangui came to the same conclusion as Zhou Lu.
Hanabi only sent out a clone branch, and under the cover of a large number of ordinary branches, she had successfully suppressed the resistance on Phoenix Island.
When the group arrived at the Invalides, Yan Gui had been almost wiped out by Zhou Luqing.
Ye Qingyu had already received the news from Zhou Lu and had to wait at the gate of the Invalid Academy.
This was also the first time Zhou Lu saw the gate of the Invalides from the outside.
[Meritorious Spirit Pet Recreation Center].
This is the official name of the Invalides.
However, most people prefer to call it Invalides.
Ye Qingyu and Ouyang Xiao have not seen each other for a long time, and Zhou Lu has no habit of being a light bulb here.
He pulled Hanabi aside who was curiously watching the friendly interaction between men and women, and followed Qiudaomu into the Invalid Academy.
Manman's aura dissipated, and a sapling appeared in front of Zhou Lu.
The sapling grew quickly and finally grew into a graceful figure.
Different from what I saw before, Qiudao Mu at this time actually appeared in the form of a lolita... Well, of course, it is a lolita to the tree people. In fact, his height is almost the same as Zhou Lu of.
This is probably to have a better conversation with Zhou Lu.
"I plan to reselect beast masters in three months." Qiudaomu said on the road, "You will come to participate then."
Zhou Lu was shocked when he heard Qiudaomu's words. : "King Yuan Tian..."
"Don't worry, he's not dead yet." Qiudao Mu said, "But as he is seriously ill, the government needs to prepare a successor."
Zhou Lu nodded.
“I already know the whereabouts of Tian Buyi’s people.” Qiudaomu suddenly said, “They found the location of the seal of Mengyu Huaxian and are on their way to unlock the seal.”
"What?!"
Zhou Lu was immediately shocked.
Qiu Daomu smiled and said: "Don't be so surprised, I'm not in a hurry. The seal is not that easy to break, you should be able to rush there now."
Zhou Lu Only then did he feel relieved, but he didn't notice the complicated emotions in Qiu Daomu's eyes at all.
