Catastrophe

Chapter 23: Gene mutation

Every time Ning Zhe had a disease in the past, he would feel a strong pain after waking up. Not only did the strength of the body seem to be evacuated, but every inch of the skin, flesh, and bones of the whole body were in pain.

But this time, when he woke up, Ning Zhe didn't feel any discomfort.

Ning Zhe was lying on the kang, and after seeing the striking box in Su Fei's house by the light of the gas lamp, he struggled to get up, but he couldn't make any effort.

Looking around, he was naked at the moment, the wound on his body was bandaged, and a needle was stuck in his hand, a rubber tube with a one-way valve was connected to the back, and the other end was a plastic bottle hanging on the wall. , the light green liquid inside was continuously falling into the drip bucket, and then poured into Ning Zhe's body.

Just when Ning Zhe looked around at a loss, Su Fei opened the door and walked into the house, found him looking at him, and smiled: "You're awake."

"Why am I at your house?" Ning Zhe looked at Su Fei vigilantly, and then glanced at the needle on his arm: "What is this?"

"I didn't mean anything, I just happened to save you." Su Fei took a step and sat on the chair next to him, flicking the rubber tube lightly with his hand, causing a bubble in the tube to float up: "As for this, it's called an infusion, A very common medical technique, but it is rare in refugee areas. You feel immobile now because the drug contains a certain anesthetic ingredient, which causes your body to temporarily lose control, but when your body absorbs the drug, It will return to normal slowly, and this process will take about half an hour."

"Have you studied medicine?" When Ning Zhe heard Su Fei's response, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

He did hear the word infusion mentioned by Mr. Lin, but only heard of it. In this era, medicine is a scarce resource, especially in barren refugee areas. The only way to encounter injuries is to fight hard, only a few Only people can afford some basic medicines, and diseases that cannot be treated by these medicines mean terminal illnesses in refugee areas.

"I'm not a doctor, and I don't know medical skills." Su Fei looked at Ning Zhe and said calmly: "The thing I injected you is not a drug, but a biological preparation, which is the latest product developed by Oxygen Company. , can repair damaged cells and neurons in your body."

Oxygen companies, biologics, cells, neurons.

A series of words that he didn't understand came into Ning Zhe's ears. He turned to look at Su Fei: "Since you can give me medicine, do you also know what disease I have?"

"To be precise, you are not sick. Your body's response should be a genetic mutation. The reason for fainting during mutation is probably because your body cannot withstand the energy generated by the rapid division of cells, so the brain orders To prevent you from dying due to great pain, or to cause the collapse of body functions, it belongs to the stress response of survival instinct." Su Fei shook his head slightly and said indifferently: "Since you call it a disease, it means that you can't do anything about it. Control the power, right?"

"I've never regarded it as a kind of power, and it didn't bring me any benefit, only pain." Ning Zhe seemed to understand Su Fei's words, but he still maintained a high degree of vigilance.

"Your situation doesn't seem to be congenital, otherwise, the body would not have such a big rejection reaction. Have you encountered any special events?" Su Fei asked casually.

"I said, this is just a disease. As for the power you mentioned, I have never felt it, but I have been tortured." Ning Zhe suddenly remembered that Lin Xun once said that he slaughtered those bandits, but he was cautious in his bones. , let him choose to keep the secret in his heart, and did not tell Su Fei the truth, even from the current situation, Su Fei seems to have saved himself.

"Indeed, genetic mutations are two extremes, which may bring strength to people, or they may be fatal diseases... Recently, people in the city are hunting down demons. No matter if you really have any ability, remember to keep a low profile. , be careful to get yourself into trouble, yesterday a refugee village was slaughtered because of this." Su Fei could feel Ning Zhe's vigilance, and seeing him beware of himself, he took the initiative to change the subject.

"The devil?" Ning Zhe suddenly remembered what Lin Xun told him about the slaughter of the village, and the refugee who was tied to the hedgehog and brought into the city, and narrowed his eyes slightly: "What is that?"

"Today, the amount of radiation in the federation is twenty times that of the old world, and the land outside the federation will be even higher. Even if we don't seem to have changed much, the human body will be more or less exposed to radiation for a long time. There will be some changes. When the organism is irradiated, the DNA will be damaged, and the appearance will be changed, and even the genetic genes will be affected. In this case, most people's genes will be necrotic, causing cancer, leukemia, etc. But some creatures survived, and they passed the radiation-resistant genes to their offspring. However, because everyone has different ways of resisting radiation, the genes passed on are also different. As these offspring creatures continue to multiply, they suddenly appear in their bodies. , and unstable genes are constantly being rewritten, the color of the hair, the shape of the bones, the function of the glands, and the magnetic field of the body will all change in the offspring, and when the cell divides ~www.readwn.com~ exists in The DNA in the nucleus will be replicated first, and the new cell must produce proteins according to the instructions of the DNA to complete the tasks undertaken by the cell. If the DNA is affected by radiation, the newly produced proteins will change and their functions will become different. Whether it is evolution or mutation, there is no conclusion at present." Su Fei paused: "Under such circumstances, the human gene chain has become very complex, and some people suddenly appear a new gene at the original human gene locus. Gene, or even a new gene chain, in short, radiation has derived a new way of gene division, some people's genes have become an unknown way of existence in academia, and some people's changes will be more Bigger, and even derived supernatural powers."

"Supernatural ability?" Ning Zhe had no specific concept of this word.

"You are from a hunter background, so you must have seen the beasts now, right?" Su Fei saw Ning Zhe's eyes full of curiosity, and did not explain in a roundabout way: "Compared with the old world, the size of the current beasts is huge. This is one of the consequences of radiation. It can make creatures have power beyond their original attributes, and even some more mysterious abilities, such as predicting danger, or manipulating others, etc., which is actually similar to the sixth sense. , in the old world, it was proven by scientists. Today's radiation has changed people's body cells, and also changed the earth's magnetic field. In short, it is between the human body's magnetic field and the earth's magnetic field. The degree of fit allows some people to use the power of resonance with nature to do things that are inconceivable to ordinary people, or even gods, of course, the possibility of such a chance is extremely rare, or even very small. ?
