Chapter 207 Artificial Fungi
Wu Xiaoqing came very quickly.
Maybe it was because she was free.
After jumping off the bird, Wu Xiaoqing immediately asked about Zhou Lu's condition.
"Are you okay?" She checked Zhou Lu's body without hesitation.
"Don't worry, Sister Xiaoqing, I'm fine." Zhou Lu smiled and said, "It should be a pathogen that specifically infects poultry."
"Be careful, too."
As she spoke, Wu Xiaoqing summoned her curse frog.
The curse frog opened its bloody mouth towards Zhou Lu.
Zhou Lu immediately understood what Wu Xiaoqing meant.
"No..." Zhou Lu subconsciously took a step back.
Although he knew that Wu Xiaoqing was going to use purification on him, Zhou Lu still couldn't accept the thought of being eaten by a big frog, chewed a few times and spit out.
"Hurry up!" Wu Xiaoqing rarely showed a serious expression.
Zhou Lu was also shocked by Wu Xiaoqing's rare seriousness and let the curse frog swallow him.
Not only Zhou Lu, but also Hua Huo and Ben Ben enjoyed the same treatment.
The purification of the curse frog is different from that of the red leaf bud fruit, especially the purification after swallowing the individual directly into the stomach.
It can really remove all negative effects and harmful substances from the individual.
However, the feeling of being covered with mucus made Zhou Lu very uncomfortable,
so he took Hua Huo to the nearest waterfall to take a bath.
Xiao Cao Cao seemed to have a special longing for taking a bath with his master.
After Zhou Lu proposed to take a bath, Hua Huo had already put the folded bath towel and daily chemicals on his head.
Xiao Cao Cao even took a soft brush and insisted that Zhou Lu brush its body with the brush.
[Other owners wash their pets like this! ]
Hua Huo patted Zhou Lu's hand with a leaf to urge him.
"That's because those pets are furry, and if they are not washed and cared for daily, they will have parasites."
[I will also have parasites! ]
"Why didn't I see it..."
Hua Huo was stunned for a while, and then said to Zhou Lu angrily: [Wait for me to catch some aphids. ]
After roughly understanding what Hua Huo meant, Zhou Lu smiled helplessly, rubbed Hua Huo's head and said: "Okay, okay, I'll wash it for you, wash it for you."
The little grass immediately turned on the happy mode.
When Zhou Lu's brush fell on it, it twisted very happily.
Hua Huo's joy seemed to infect the surrounding vegetation.
Zhou Lu even felt that the air around him became fresher.
After the third stage, Hua Huo seemed to have more than just an increase in attributes.
Zhou Lu said in his heart.
Biology is a very strange existence.
There are many things that you can't even fully explain with scientific theories.
And this is even more true for spirit beasts.
So far, the academic community has not formed a unified theory to scientifically prove the reasons for the emergence of the extraordinary power of spirit pets and the theoretical basis of the evolution system.
Zhou Lu actually once doubted the necessity of this kind of research.
A large number of scientists have wasted decades on this research without any results.
But Wu Xiaoqing has great respect for this kind of research.
When Zhou Lu finished washing and returned to the temporary camp for the tits to recuperate, Wu Xiaoqing looked at the laptop screen with a serious face.
And beside her, a large number of samples were already placed.
The little tit that Hua Huo brought from Qu Di had been dissected by Wu Xiaoqing.
"This is a fungus that specifically attacks little tits."
Wu Xiaoqing saw Zhou Lu coming back and said directly.
"Specially attacking little tits?" Zhou Lu was stunned.
"And it is highly contagious and has a very high mortality rate." Wu Xiaoqing said, "Once it spreads, the little tits in the entire mountain secret realm will go extinct within half a month."
The senior sister's face was very ugly, and even with strong anger.
"Besides that." Wu Xiaoqing snapped the computer shut, "It's a strain of bacteria that was artificially edited by genes."
"Artificially edited?" Zhou Lu was instantly upset when he heard this, "Sister Xiaoqing, are you sure?"
Wu Xiaoqing glanced at Zhou Lu and said, "I often do this kind of thing, and I can see the traces of artificiality at a glance."
"The other party's work was very rough, and they knocked out a section of the gene." Wu Xiaoqing knew that Zhou Lu couldn't understand the overly profound theory, so she said very simply, "After the gene is expressed, a special receptor will appear on the surface of this type of fungus."
"I'll configure something later. They can contact these receptors and turn on the suicide mode of the fungus."
"Its infectiousness is so strong, I'm afraid that with only a little medicine..." Zhou Lu was a little nervous.
Wu Xiaoqing laughed and said, "Don't worry, I already have an idea. Since they want to use this kind of fungus to infect the little tits and make them die quickly, can't I make them a fungus that can infect this kind of fungus?"
"I want to show them what it means to show off one's skills before an expert!"
As she said that, Wu Xiaoqing began to search in the package.
"Wow~ The mother plant should be carefully selected, which should reproduce quickly and be highly infectious..."
"Oh, please be more detailed next time." Wu Xiaoqing said casually, "I didn't bring any of the mother plants that are too dangerous."
As she spoke, Wu Xiaoqing took out a bottle filled with yellow liquid from her bag.
"I've decided, let's use this one." Wu Xiaoqing said.
Zhou Lu looked at the bottle with a special symbol on it in Wu Xiaoqing's hand, and always felt very subtle.
"What is this?"
"Plague God Archaea." Wu Xiaoqing said, "It is said that the pathogenic bacteria destroyed the second era of cultivation civilization. I finally dug it out from under the glacier..."
"Fuck! You carry such a dangerous thing with you!" Zhou Lu was shocked and took several steps back.
According to modern archaeology, people divide the verifiable immortal era into five eras, and the second era existed more than 10,000 years ago.
Seeing Zhou Lu's panic, Wu Xiaoqing couldn't help rolling her eyes and said, "Why are you so scared? This kind of archaea can't infect you now. Humans who can survive from that era are resistant to this kind of archaea."
Fungi are extremely difficult to mutate in nature.
Zhou Lu reluctantly believed Wu Xiaoqing's words, but still kept a distance from the bottle of yellow liquid.
"If you are so scared, just do something else. I still need some time here." Wu Xiaoqing said to Zhou Lu while debugging the equipment.
Other things...
Wu Xiaoqing saw Zhou Lu's confusion and said, "Didn't you find the pathogen in someone else's camp?"
"If we stop them from releasing these sick birds, maybe we can prevent too many chickadees from dying."
Zhou Lu immediately understood: "Okay, I'll go right away."
"Be careful to hide." Wu Xiaoqing instructed, "This kind of professor is usually sponsored by a big company. If they want to exterminate wild chickadees, I'm afraid the main spiritual pets occupy the same ecological niche as the chickadees, and the free chickadees prevent them from making money."
"To promote their own spiritual pets, they actually exterminate a species?!" Zhou Lu felt a nameless anger in his heart.
Wu Xiaoqing laughed and said, "There are many such things. Why do you think there have been so many wild spiritual beast extinctions in the past hundred years?"
