my life simulator

The red vision in your eyes and the sharp canine teeth in your mouth reminded Lu Li once again that you are no longer human!

Even if you eat cooked food, shower, dress, clean, no matter how human you look, you are no longer human!

Grass!

Lu Li couldn't help but curse!

Taking a deep breath, Lu Li was silent for a while, but still persistently and firmly put the toothbrush into his mouth, and brushed vigorously!

The white foam that popped out of the corner of the mouth was faintly tinged with a bright red. I don't know if it's because of eye problems, or because I brushed my teeth too hard, and the brush was bleeding.

After washing up, Lu Li found some casual clothes in the villa to change into, and put on a watch that he also found in the villa. A pair of sunglasses were placed on the bridge of his nose to cover his blood red eyes.

Perhaps, this is a habit of being human.

Perhaps it was because Lu Li was still repelling zombies deep in his heart.

Perhaps, this is just a process of psychological acceptance.

Who knows?

Stepping into the bedroom, Lu Li was lying on the bed, and with a thought, he opened the virtual laboratory.

Now, let's see what this zombie virus is!

"Virtualize my current zombie body."

Lu Li virtualized his own zombie body in this plot, picked up the syringe, and took a tube of blood from the zombie body.

Turning on the genetic testing array, Lu Li compared the zombie's genetic sequence with his own original genetic sequence.

The test results came out soon.

There have been many mutations in the genes of the zombies.These variations all represent variations in body organs.

Variants in vision, only the red cones are left on the retina, the green and blue cones have disappeared.This made Lu Li's vision very sensitive to red, but he couldn't distinguish other colors except black, white and red.

The mutated canine teeth make the zombie's canine teeth very developed, equivalent to the canine teeth of a gorilla.

Cardiopulmonary organs, digestive system, and even the nervous system have all undergone some mutations.

In the genetic information of the zombie, Lu Li also saw foreign genes, that is, virus genes.

Virus, this is a "loser and forget" guy.When they invade human cells, if they are not careful, some of their own gene fragments will be dropped, and some gene fragments of human cells will be swept away.

This is why viruses are constantly mutating.

"This thing... what kind of virus is it?"

Lu Li picked up some blood samples, observed them under an electron microscope, and found out the virus that had invaded the human body.

Seeing the structure of the virus displayed on the monitor, Lu Li gasped.

Is this... some kind of mutated prion?

Prion, this thing can't be dealt with at all!It doesn't have the normal structure of a virus at all, it's just a protein molecule!

At this moment, Lu Li's face was gloomy.

Chapter 543 Horrible Zombie Virus

There is a ghost that has been lurking in nature and all around us for eons.

It is prions.

The existence of prions is very old and the range of distribution is very wide.Prions may exist in cattle, sheep, deer, humans... and other animals.

Prions will erode the nervous system of living things, mess up the neural circuits of biological brains, leaving only the instincts of eating and reproduction, and become crazy and violent, which is equivalent to becoming a "zombie".

Prion, also known as "zombie virus".

This is a very special, very strange existence.

So far, the scientific community still can't figure out what a prion is.

Essentially, a prion is just a stretch of protein molecule, not a virus at all.

Viruses are composed of a layer of protein that wraps viral DNA.However, prions have only protein molecules, but no DNA, it is the protein itself.

It stands to reason that without DNA information, there is no condition for replication and proliferation. However...prion has the ability to replicate, and it can transform other normal protein molecules into prion protein molecules.

This is simply... too unscientific!

No DNA information, no transcription template, how the hell did you complete the replication?

In the scientific community, the replication principle of prions is still a mystery.

In addition to this point, the terrible thing about prions is that they are the necessary components of living organisms—proteins.

We know that protein is the basic building block of life and an essential component of life.

Every cell absorbs protein all the time.As a protein molecule, the invasion of prions is almost defenseless!

When Lu Li saw that the zombie virus was a mutated prion, he felt a chill in his heart.

Prions are simply unsolvable!

In the real world, there have also been outbreaks of prions.

Yingjili's mad cow disease incident was caused by prion infection.

The zombie deer that appeared in North America were also caused by prion infection.

The event of prions infecting humans has also happened in the real world.

In the human genetic map, chromosome 20, the gene fragment contains a terrifying and frightening truth.

This gene fragment, the genetic information expressed, is suddenly the antibody gene against prions.

As we all know, having a certain antibody means that you have been infected with a certain virus.

The No. 20 gene fragment revealed a terrifying and terrifying truth.A long time ago, primitive humans were all infected with prions.

Imagine that the population of primitive people once had a large-scale outbreak of "zombie virus", and everyone turned into zombies!

Perhaps, the ancestors of modern humans were once survivors of the "zombie virus".

Perhaps...the more frightening conclusion is that modern humans are all descendants of "zombies"!

This is so creepy!

Now, what is before Lu Li is the end of the world caused by prions.

On the display of the electron microscope, Lu Li could clearly see that the zombie virus in this simulated world also had the characteristics of a prion, and must be a variant of a prion.

Prions mutate.

Even if the human gene contains the prion antibody gene, it still cannot resist this more ferocious and violent mutated prion.

Prions are scary in their own right.

This mutated prion is even more terrifying.

Now... what the hell am I supposed to do with prions?

Whether he takes the "salvation" route, the "destruction route", or even no route at all, Lu Li must also fight against the mutated prions.

I'm too hard!

Even as the world's top genetic scientist, Lu Xin felt a deep sense of powerlessness.

All known antiviral methods cannot kill prions.

At 600 ° high temperature, prions can still survive.At 75% concentration of disinfecting alcohol, prions can swim in it.

Unless the bones of the sick cow are burned to ashes in a high-temperature furnace like Ying Jili did with mad cow disease, it is possible to kill the prions.

To eliminate mutant prions in this world, is it necessary to burn all the animals in this world to ashes?

It might as well blow up the earth of this world directly, which is easier to do.

Lu Li was helpless.

The task of fighting against prions was too difficult, but Lu Li had to do it.

Let's study this mutant prion first!

In the virtual laboratory, Lu Li conducted detailed tests on the mutated prion samples.

Even... Lu Li even virtualized a normal human experimental body to observe the infection mechanism of the mutated prion virus.

Through a series of experiments, Lu Li also gained some understanding of this mutated prion.

The structure of this mutant prion is very complex.

In addition to the core part of the prion body, it also combines the characteristics of rabies virus, and even the pathogenic characteristics of hemophilia.

Prions have the characteristics of zombie viruses, coupled with the crazy aggressiveness of rabies, and the violent characteristics of hemophilia, it is simply terrible.

Such a virus is enough to destroy everything!

Fortunately, this is just a simulated plot. If this virus appears in reality, it will also become the end of the world, completely unstoppable.

Lu Li let out a long sigh.

Regarding this mutated prion, Lu Li was obviously still helpless.

Prion is just a protein!A necessary ingredient for all living organisms, a completely defenseless ingredient.All means against viruses and bacteria are completely ineffective against prions.

This rules out the possibility of all antibiotic-like drug treatments.

As for gene editing technology?Prion has no genetic information, it is just a protein molecule without any genetic information.You don't even have a gene, and you still edit hair?

This was the most difficult scenario that Lu Li had encountered so far.

Even as a top scientist, Lu Li felt at a loss what to do, he couldn't even find a research direction, and he didn't even have an idea.

The only good news is that the transmission mechanism of this mutated prion is not too bad.

In addition to bodily fluid transmission, it is mainly the most common "bite" transmission in zombie films.

In addition, the mutant prions do not infect plants.Therefore, in this zombie-apocalyptic world, plants are still safe.

Even better, the mutated prions do not infect bacteria.Otherwise... there is nothing left in this world.

Lu Li was helpless as he waved his hand to close the virtual lab.Mutated prions can only be studied slowly, and slowly find a way.

Now... get some sleep and talk about it tomorrow!

It turns out that zombies still need to sleep.Lu Li personally proved this point.

……

The next morning, when Lu Li woke up, it was just dawn.

Lu Li didn't wake up naturally after falling asleep, but...he woke up from hunger.

hungry!The instinct to eat exploded again.

Lu Li's eyes were bloodshot, and waves of crazy and violent emotions rushed to his brain like a tide.

"Open the mechanical mind!"

Lu Li quickly entered a sane state to resist the bloodthirsty rage brought by the mutated prion.

After entering a sane state, Lu Li turned over and got up, put on his clothes, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went downstairs to the kitchen and picked up the bag of barbecue.

European-style villas have fireplaces. Lu Li chopped up a log table with a seedling knife, lit the fire, and reheated the barbecue.

Then...he ate again, eating a few catties of barbecue in a row.

Unlocking the mechanized mind, Lu Li let out a long breath.

Food is a problem!

The rest of the roast will be gone in no time, so what's next?

And... Lu Li thought of another question.If zombies mainly feed on humans, what do hundreds of millions of zombies eat when there are few human survivors?

Go out and have a look!

One is to find new sources of food, and the other is to study the life rules of zombies.

Thinking of this, Lu Li turned around and went out with the Miao Dao in hand.
