Chapter 43, Wang Qiu’s Zombie Knowledge Lecture (Part 2)
"... From a medical point of view, any viral infection must follow this process: first, it invades the human body through some way; second, it reaches the location of the disease through the blood circulation system or respiratory system; third, Defeat the human immune system and infect host cells; fourth, replicate the virus in large quantities and destroy host cells, causing people to show signs of disease..."
Wang Qiu drew a simple virus infection flow chart on the blackboard, and it was approved by the female school doctor Shizuka Marikawa, "...and the tube of T-virus used by Umbrella to create zombies in my hand also needs to pass A similar process can turn a living person into a zombie.
First of all, if a strong and healthy person occasionally gets a little bit of the virus from scratching his skin, then his initial pathological reaction will be nothing more than coughing, sneezing, or itchy skin like a rash—— Many people mistakenly think they have hay fever. If the number of virus intrusions is reduced to a certain level, then it is really possible for this person to survive only by relying on his own immune system.
Even if the person fails to survive, it will take at least a period of incubation period from infection to attack. During this time, the T virus is fighting the white blood cells in the human body, just like when we suffer from the flu, the cold virus is in our body. Same with fighting white blood cells. However, due to the high variability of the T virus, the body's immune system will generally be broken down after a few hours to a few days, and the T virus will spread rapidly in the human body along with blood and lymph fluid. This is the middle stage of the infection. At this time, the patient will have skin ulcers all over the body - because the T virus requires a lot of nutrients to reproduce, and it can only obtain nutrients by directly decomposing cells in the human body. Finally, the T virus will enter the central nervous system and brain through blood or lymph circulation, and quickly erode them - after the patient's brain is completely eroded, a zombie is born.
When the infected person is a normal person, the whole process usually takes about a week. In the first two or three days of infection, if antiviral serum can be injected, it can even be saved... But a person who is bitten alive by a zombie is on the verge of death. The situation is different for the person who died - his immune system is so weak that the T virus can easily invade various tissues and organs, and if the virus enters the blood directly from the wound, then within a very short time, It spreads throughout the body through the blood circulation, greatly accelerating the infection process. But——"
Having said this, Wang Qiu suddenly raised his voice, "...even so, even if the patient is in the worst near-death situation, the T virus directly enters the blood circulation system, and the human body's immune function completely collapses, which is very difficult for the spread of the virus. Without any hindrance, it would take about an hour at the earliest to end the incubation period and cause the disease to break out - and this is already the fastest speed for any virus to spread and replicate in the human body
As for the T virus to finish corroding the brain and central nervous system, causing the patient to break out into a 'dead transformation', it will take at least another hour, which adds up to two hours - this is already extremely fast! After all, there is a limit to the reproduction speed of any virus, and T-virus is no exception. ”
"...Two hours?! How can the process of zombie transformation take so long?" Komuro Takashi touched his chin and protested in confusion, "...According to what I saw in school before, from the physical education teacher to the zombie From being bitten and falling down through the school gate, to the time he turned into a zombie and got up to attack other people, the whole process took no more than three minutes! Then before we could escape to the roof, the whole school had already turned into a purgatory..."
"...In fact, there are faster ones." Wang Qiu said, "...Teacher Marikawa Shizuka, how long does it take on average for a human blood cycle to circulate?"
"...Huh? Mr. Wang? Were you asking me just now? Oh, that's right. I seem to be the only doctor here..."
The naturally stupid blond female school nurse was slightly startled for a moment, then bit her finger and started thinking, "... Well, when I think about it, I almost forgot about the things in these textbooks... Ah! I remembered it. ! Under chest compression, it takes about 3 minutes for blood to circulate throughout the body..."
"...What you said is correct, Teacher Shizuka. And this is also our general understanding." Wang Qiu nodded, "...However, a few hours ago, when I flew over the Yubie Bridge at night, , but we witnessed an unfortunate mother being attacked by a zombie baby in her arms and biting her neck open. Then, before the poor mother could fall down, she just stood and turned into a zombie! Half a minute!
If you reason according to this example, it means that the weakened version of the T virus here spreads, replicates and spreads in the human body at a speed that has actually exceeded the speed of blood circulation! This is as unscientific as if a passenger could run faster than a commercial airliner! ”
"...For this incredible situation, we can only use magic to explain it. For example, every T virus can master teleportation spells and can directly teleport itself from the wound into the brain cells of the infected person... Of course, this It’s impossible!”
Wang Qiu first told a cold joke that made people unable to laugh at all, and then revealed the cruel truth, "... Another possibility is that these T-viruses are originally lurking in every cell in your body. Each of you can be turned into a zombie quickly at any time, and the bite of the zombie only provides an activation signal - only in this way can a healthy person become a zombie in just a few minutes!"
He glanced around at the stunned people under the podium, and then continued without waiting for these people to react, "...Then, according to Doraemon's latest test results, our terrible inference has been confirmed. ——All of you, whether you have been bitten by zombies or not, most of them are carriers of this weakened version of the T virus, with only a few exceptions, such as classmate Jing Haoyong..."< br>
Until this moment, there was an uproar in the classroom, and no matter how hard Wang Qiu knocked on the podium and the blackboard, it was useless.
"...What? I also have that horrible dirty thing on my body?! No, don't-"
"...It's a lie! Doraemon, you must help us find a way! Please!"
"...How could it be like this...Is it so difficult that humankind will become extinct?"
……
"...Quiet! Please be quiet! I haven't finished speaking yet!"
Seeing the commotion below, Wang Qiu had no choice but to ask Doraemon for a tweeter and roared at everyone.
Then, with the help and scolding of Soichiro Takagi, everyone gradually calmed down, and Wang Qiu's zombie knowledge lecture could continue.
But before that, he needs to answer some questions from Miss Takagi Saya.
"...Excuse me, since you said that each of us contains this weakened version of the T virus, why are we still fine now?"
This arrogant lady with pink hair and twin ponytails, although she has been reprimanded and warned by her parents, her attitude is still a bit cold and hard.
"...Huh? It's just that the body carries the virus but does not have an attack. This situation is very common in real life!" Wang Qiu blinked and replied, "...For example, there are many people with the common hepatitis B. You will be poisoned for life, but as long as you take good care of your body, you will never have an attack, even if it makes people talk! AIDS is like a tiger. There are people who have been infected with HIV and haven’t taken medicine for twenty years, but they are still living well. The same is true for the weakened version of the T virus lurking in your body... We will talk about it below. , how do these T viruses enter everyone’s body!”
Then, Wang Qiu hung a large and clear photo of zombies on the blackboard and continued, "...First of all, whether it is the original T virus or the weakened version of the T virus, they are all artificially produced biochemical weapons that violate the laws and regulations. It has revealed the basic laws of evolution and reproduction of many species, and it can never be the same as in nature. Endogenous plague-human beings infected with the T-virus will forcibly erase themselves and become a rigid combat robot, or a computer programmed to perform one function, the only function of which is to devour their own Same kind, can do nothing else
Unlike what many of you may think, zombies do not feed on living human flesh and blood. They only eat people for the sake of eating people. From the moment it changes from a living person to a zombie, the original digestive system in the human body It's completely dead. According to Umbrella's dissection of the zombies, the 'food' they devoured remained in its original state in the stomach, filling the entire intestines and stomach undigested.
As a zombie continues to eat more victims, this process of simply chewing and then swallowing will continue to accumulate until they burst their stomach or intestines. And even after their stomachs burst, these zombies will still continue to eat people, and only people...
You can just imagine, how could nature suddenly evolve such a devastating virus that is so specific and only targets humans? It's like it was specially designed to destroy humans! Obviously, this could only be a biochemical weapon developed in a certain laboratory!
Since the possibility of natural generation is completely ruled out, the weakened version of the T virus lurking in your body can only be invaded through artificial channels. However, the weakened version of the T virus in your body, like HIV, can only be transmitted through body fluids. Therefore, whether the conspirators poison food and drinking water or release T-virus into the air, it is basically ineffective. In this case, a question arises: Take Busujima Saeko's classmate as an example. According to According to her statement, she has always been in good health since she was a child, and has never been sick. She has never had any surgeries or blood transfusions, nor does she have the bad habit of taking needles or taking drugs. She doesn’t even have a bottle of saline... Well, besides, she doesn’t have any sexual intercourse, either of the same sex or of the opposite sex. No, not even the props were used - so how did the T virus lurk in her body?
——At this point, everyone looked at Busujima Saeko with great interest. Although Busujima Saeko looked a little shy and secretly hated Wang Qiu for speaking so openly, she also understood that this was not the time to be ashamed, so she nodded with her cheeks red.
"...and other students, parents and adults, the same goes for you." Wang Qiu waved the T-virus test tube in his hand, "...according to the blood sample Doraemon just collected from you, you also have the exact same virus lurking in your body. Weakened version of the T virus! Everything that was urgently checked an hour ago Among the forty-six people, only one person survived! What does this mean? The people who were secretly injected with the T virus probably cover almost all professions and age groups in the world! Can we complete such a huge project? ”
Having said this, Wang Qiu paused for a few seconds, looked around at the people whose faces were getting increasingly ugly, and then calmly expressed his speculation: "... In the concept of Doraemon and I, the only one who can The only thing that can do this is the government department that vaccinates the entire population!
Hey, what if Indians, Iranians or Arabs secretly set up thousands of virus drop-off points in Japan, completely evading the detection of Japanese intelligence agencies and the American CIA and FBI, and successfully triggered this zombie crisis? ...Well, although it sounds incredible, there may be a success rate of a few tenths of a percent. But it would be a complete fantasy to say that Indians, Iranians or Arabs secretly infiltrated Japan's health department and spent years or even decades injecting the deadly T virus into the entire Japanese nation... !
And if the murderer is not them, who can hide the truth and inject the poison of destruction into the entire Japanese nation with the help of Japan's anti-epidemic medical system? Just thinking about it makes one’s bones shiver! Officer Masaru Miyamoto, now you understand why we don’t trust the Japanese government! ”

PS: At the request of readers, within the free word limit, I will write a little more about the war situation in Ukraine - will the eastern militia win the anti-encirclement and suppression campaign?
Recently, two brigades surrounded by Ukrainian government forces have begun negotiations to surrender. The focus of the negotiations is that they hope to surrender after destroying heavy equipment. The militiamen said that you should not surrender without heavy equipment. Another 500 government troops fled across the border to Russia under white flags. According to the reporter's interviews with them, after going deep into enemy territory and being shelled, all their officers fled in a hurry, and the soldiers below had to stay in place in a mess, relying on intermittent small amounts of airdropped supplies to survive until Now, we have run out of ammunition and food and can no longer hold on.
Upon learning that the surrounded troops were about to surrender, Kiev's general staff immediately "suggested" them to break out and said they would receive support after arriving at a certain place. But the problem is: first, these people in the encirclement have no gas, and second, they don’t believe that there will really be a response after they get there, because they have been deceived by the same method many times... Although according to the militia’s battle report Look, that place is really occupied by the Ukrainian army.
——The "Wolf is crying" style rally call has been played too much, and the subordinates basically don't trust their superiors...
According to Ukrainian soldiers who fled to Russia, the only people in the encirclement who are still resisting are suspected Blackwater mercenaries, many of whom are black. They also shot local anti-war Ukrainian soldiers and begged the Russian army and East Ukrainian militias to quickly eliminate them. They are not Slavs. Recalling the Iraqi army's rout in Mosul in June, it seemed that the commanders had fled at night, leaving their soldiers to be massacred by ISIS forces... Could it be that all the useless and weak soldiers in the world behave in the same way? The world of funny people cannot be understood with common sense!
