Chapter 64
Zombies, a fantasy creation widely used in various works.
The "Zombie Crisis" series is a super IP famous throughout the galaxy, with various games, adapted movies, and adapted comics emerging one after another.
And the zombie virus is a classic zombie origin setting. The beginning of the "Zombie Crisis" story is that humans created the zombie virus, eventually triggering a series of crises.
When the title appeared, all the audience were stunned.
Although people love to talk about doomsday and apocalypse works, they would never hope for a disaster to come.
"It's coming, it's coming, can watch a movie, finally not a new containment object popping out to wreak havoc on the universe."
"Not kidding? How can there be a zombie virus in this world?"
"Not right, how does the Foundation contain viruses? Won't they use a colossus like last time."
"Foundation: Virus brother, this thing (referring to the colossus) is strong, smoke this."
"The zombie virus is just a virus after all, not as terrifying as the flesh of hatred."
"I decided to start building an interstellar shelter from now on. If a zombie crisis really breaks out, I'll run directly!"
"Is there a possibility that if a zombie crisis really breaks out, the entire planet will be directly blocked?"
"..."
Herta looked at the text on the screen, and her interest in the "Stellaron" immediately reduced by half.
Containment objects have been proven to be real.
The Foundation's fleet just covered her space station.
So, how will the Foundation study the zombie virus known as "Containment Object-008"?
This is very valuable research experience!
Maybe it can provide her with some ideas for researching curios!
Himeko saw that Herta had devoted her interest to "Containment Object-008", so she tried to persuade "Stelle" to leave with them:
"Stelle... you know you have another choice..."
Before the words fell, "Stelle" answered first:
"I'll go with you."
After speaking, she found a seat to watch the live stream.
Not forgetting to pat the empty seat beside her, signaling Himeko to join.
Himeko looked at this somewhat cute and somewhat scheming girl, smiled slightly, and sat beside her, watching the Foundation's program together.
The screen continued, and as the black curtain disappeared, it was replaced by a large document.
【Containment Object: Zombie Virus】
【Item Number: Containment Object-008】
【Danger Level: Euclid】
【Item Description: Containment Object-008 is a complex prion. Research on Containment Object-008 is highly classified, and the purpose is mainly preventive research, which will make the synthesis of Containment Object-008 possible in the distant future.】
【Characteristics: Infectivity 100%; Lethality 100%.】
【Transmission Path: Transmitted through the exposed mucous membranes and all body fluids of the infected, cannot be transmitted through air and water.】
【Infection symptoms within three hours of exposure to Containment Object-008:
·Flu-like symptoms, high fever, severe dementia in the later stages.
·After the initial symptoms appear and 12 hours of obvious dementia symptoms pass, coma for about 20 hours. Coma will be regarded as death from the disease.
·Sporadic cell necrosis appears over a period of time, with some symptoms similar to gangrene. The remaining tissues assume their original functions and have high elasticity.
·Red blood cells greatly increase oxygen storage capacity, blood flow slows down, and muscle endurance and strength increase.
·Several hours after total organ failure, the nervous and muscular systems remain unaffected.
·Metabolism drops to an extremely low level, allowing the infected to survive for more than ten years without nutrient intake.
·High blood viscosity causes the infected to produce negligible bleeding in the event of gunshot, puncture, and stab wounds.
·Reflexive behaviors, motor nerve control, and instinctive behavioral mechanisms are destroyed, and cognitive abilities are severely weakened and unstable. Excessive brain cell necrosis has appeared in animal experiments and is in an inactive state.
·The infected can adapt to their damaged nervous system, but only limited to basic physical activities, including standing up, keeping legs balanced, walking, biting, grabbing, and crawling.
·The infected will try to move toward sights, sounds, and smells that can be connected to living humans. If the infected comes into physical contact with a living human, it will attempt to ingest the target.
·Suppressing a fully infected person requires causing extremely severe cranial trauma.】
【Strong evidence suggests that Containment Object-008 is not naturally formed, because variants of similar complexity cannot exist in the ecosystem.】
【Appendix 008-1: Containment Object-500 was found to be able to completely cure Containment Object-008 even in the late stages of the disease.】
As the archive content was fully published, the complete characteristics of "Containment Object-008" were exposed to the world.
And what attracted more attention was the existence in the appendix—
"Containment Object-500"!
This is the first time that two containment objects have appeared in one archive!
What is "Containment Object-500"?
A special medicine that appeared for the zombie virus?
Or some kind of nano-machine that can enter the human body?
These questions certainly exist, but the information revealed is too little, and most people still focus their energy on the zombie virus.
"Damn, attempt to ingest... zombies really eat people!"
"The archive didn't say that this virus only infects humans, which means other species will also be infected, and then just bite people?"
"Personally, I feel that the zombies described here are not much different from those in movies."
"It can be seen that this archive has a lot of age. In the present day, will the Foundation still attach importance to this virus?"
Attached to the archive is a long string of complex virus structure diagrams, winding and winding, with no visual impact.
Only top scholars related to biology and chemistry can keenly perceive that this structure diagram has been deleted and modified to a certain extent.
Herta thinks this is normal.
After all, with the current level of technology, as long as the complete sequence is released, there will be researchers, laboratories, and companies trying to restore the zombie virus.
Although this may not necessarily bring them any actual benefits.
It can give themselves a golden signboard of "xxx who restored 'Containment Object-008'".
Just like the companies begging for her cooperation.
The text disappeared line by line, and the screen fell into brief darkness.
When the screen lit up again, the scene came to a world full of ice and snow.
A blonde man with a high nose bridge and deep features was sitting in an armored vehicle, shaking with the vehicle body.
He wore a velvet hat on his head, ear flaps hanging down from both sides, and heavy winter clothes were tightly wrapped around his body.
Various bright medals hung on the military green coat under the winter clothes, colliding with each other, making a pleasant sound.
He raised a transparent bottle from time to time, took a few big gulps, exhaled a puff of white air, and showed a satisfied expression.
The audience could recognize that it was a drink called "Vodka".
Maybe it's a kind of sweet water? Convenient for replenishing heat?
They guessed.
The space inside the car was very narrow, looking like it could still gather heat.
But even so, the ice and snow at the bottom of the man's leather boots showed no signs of melting.
How cold!
Just then, the car stopped.
A soldier knocked on the cabin door of the armored vehicle and reported in a tone with a heavy nasal sound:
"Commander, the Foundation people hope to communicate with you."
The man called "Commander" opened the cabin door, wrapped in winter clothes, and stood in the knee-deep snow.
At this time, the audience was able to see the full picture of the entire team.
"Neck twist right!"
Although cold, the shouting was neat and high-pitched, echoing in the vast white world.
A giant base vehicle moved slowly in the ice and snow, spitting out thick black smoke from the chimney;
Dozens of tanks guarded around the base vehicle, some with single barrels, some with double barrels;
In the rear, there were many troop transport trucks and jeeps marching in formation;
And the commander was riding in a tracked vehicle, with an anti-aircraft gun mounted on the roof.
The cracking sound of tracks crushing ice and snow, the meshing sound of gears, the "creaking" sound of steel wheels rubbing, and the roar of the engine.
