Chapter 287 You Guys Are Worthy of Being Brothers and Sisters

"You seem a little disappointed." Ouyang Xiao looked at Hua Huo who was "playing" with his pet beside him, and he seemed very calm, not like he had been imprisoned before.

"It's surprise." Zhou Lu corrected, "Senior, your condition is much better than I thought."

"That guy is much more restrained than I expected." Ouyang Xiao said, and his face inevitably showed a disappointed expression, "I came here after being infected."

Zhou Lu originally wanted to say a few words of greeting, and then turn the topic to Ye Qingyu.

He and Ouyang Xiao were not very familiar with each other, and this senior always asked the original body to do some strange things, which led to the original body's impression of him.

This impression also affected Zhou Lu to a certain extent.

He thought about it, and the only common language with Ouyang Xiao was probably Ouyang Xiao's fiancée Ye Qingyu.

But before he started talking, Zhou Lu couldn't hold back when he heard Ouyang Xiao's words.

"What you mean by infection is..."

Zhou Lu silently took two steps back.

As an expert in resurrecting ancient spirit beasts, Ouyang Xiao's favorite research is the ancient microorganisms excavated from the ice. Many ancient biological genes are screened and extracted from the genes of these microorganisms.

Among them, Ouyang Xiao's favorite is to play with ancient viruses.

When these "little cuties" run into the host cell to replicate themselves, they sometimes steal the host's genes into their own genomes - this is also the main source of Ouyang Xiao's search for ancient biological genes.

In this process, Ouyang Xiao inevitably has to test the infection ability of these viruses.

Therefore, when Zhou Lu heard the word infection, his alertness suddenly increased several degrees.

Ouyang Xiao seemed to have guessed Zhou Lu's fear, and said with a smile: "Relax, I'm not a scourge. This virus is almost the same as rhinovirus for beastmasters. At most... it will give you some rhinitis."

"I think this is already very scary." Zhou Lu said helplessly, "I didn't expect that after not seeing you for a few years, you are still doing such a dangerous thing."

"Meow! You pervert!" As he spoke, Ouyang Xiao's pet meowed, finally got rid of the restraints of Hua Huo, and quickly jumped back to Ouyang Xiao's shoulder.

Ouyang Xiao smiled and rubbed his cat's fur, then said: "I am not strong enough to kill Qi Lin, so I can only avenge my teacher in this way."

Zhou Lu immediately understood Ouyang Xiao's plan: "Does this virus have a special attack on immortals?"

"I call it the delicious virus. I found it from a relic tens of thousands of years ago." Ouyang Xiao said slowly, "It originally could only infect Blattodea creatures. It can make the infected person emit an amazing attraction to the same kind, attracting its own kind to attack and eat it, and in the process spread itself among the group. Organisms infected by this virus will die within three days, but the infectivity of the virus will not be attenuated within three years after death."

After a pause, Ouyang Xiao said: "I made a slight genetic adjustment. Now it can infect humans, but the only ones who will be affected by the virus are immortals whose RCS genes are activated."

"..." Zhou Lu was silent for a while after listening to Ouyang Xiao's words.

"Crazy." He came to the final conclusion.

Although he didn't know what the RCS gene was, he probably understood Ouyang Xiao's plan, which was to kill all the immortals through virus infection.

These guys who study genes and biology really can't be messed with.

Zhou Lu silently made up his mind in his heart.

Who knows what these guys will suddenly take out.

"But this virus is dying too fast now." Ouyang Xiao was actually a little dissatisfied, "If it dies in three days, the virus can't spread at all. But this problem is not big, mainly because I haven't had time to fully verify its impact on unawakened humans and humans whose beastmaster genes are activated."

Zhou Lu suddenly had a crazy idea when he heard Ouyang Xiao's words.

He subconsciously wanted to reject it, but combined with Ouyang Xiao's smiling face and his previous actions, he almost said with certainty: "You don't want it to infect all mankind, do you?"

Ouyang Xiao stroked the cat and asked back: "Why not? If it is safe enough for normal humans."

In Ouyang Xiao's plan, as long as all humans are infected with this delicious virus, there will be no living space for immortals in this world.

Zhou Lu was stunned for a moment, thought for a long time, and finally decided to struggle a little bit with his shallow knowledge of biology: "In this way, sooner or later there will be immortals who are immune to this virus... right?"

"If you want to be immune to this virus, then the RCS gene on your chromosome 16 must mutate. Once this gene mutates... even if only one pair of bases changes, you are no longer an immortal by definition, because you have lost the ability of immortals to devour everything to grow."

"A waste who wants to eat to satisfy himself crazily, I think it should be easy for humans to solve it." Ouyang Xiao touched his chin and nodded, saying, "If we can't even solve such a guy, humans might as well just destroy it."

Zhou Lu felt that he couldn't keep up with Ouyang Xiao's brain waves.

Sure enough, the senior sister and him can have a common language.

TM, you two are really worthy of being senior brothers and sisters.

Zhou Lu thought of the bacteria that Wu Xiaoqing wanted to develop with great interest.

He silently mourned for these immortals in his heart. After provoking these two great devils, they might not even be able to live the average lifespan of a human being, let alone the average lifespan of an immortal.

After finding Ouyang Xiao, the matter in Suizhou came to an end.

Qi Lin's attack was too ruthless. Except for the few who left with Tian Buyi, the senior officials of the Immortal Kingdom were basically wiped out by the entire army.

It's a pity that Qi Lin didn't leave anyone alive, otherwise the nightmare of death might be able to kill these guys in one fell swoop.

But now that Fairyland has been found, Yangui has no value in existence.

On the way Zhou Lu took Ouyang Xiao to the Invalides, the branches near Phoenix Island revealed their camouflage of seaweed and duckweed under the control of Hua Huo.

"This general knowledge fairy looks very strange." Ouyang Xiao didn't know that the two people on the side were strangling the immortal in Yangui and observing the Qiudao tree with interest.

While he was observing Qiudaomu, Qiudaomu was also observing him.

Ouyang smiled.

Qiudaomu can be said to have a profound memory.

Not to mention the proposal letter, when this guy came to the Invalides for the first and only time, the way he looked at the experimental samples was really uncomfortable.

Although Qiu Daomu didn't like Ouyang Xiao's character very much, it could even be said to be annoying.

But it did not use its power as a divine beast to suppress Ouyang Xiao in any way.

This researcher with strange thinking is the insurance in Qiu Daomu's mind and a powerful medicine to save mankind.

If the cultivation of Mengyu Flower fails, then Ouyang Xiao is used to see if Mengyu Flower Fairy can be solved from a scientific perspective at the cost of destroying all mankind.

Qiudao Mu actually doesn't have hope for this because she can't see such a future.

However, its capabilities also have limitations.

It can only see a future that it can understand.

In other words, it can only observe when the trajectory of future destiny conforms to the worldview constructed by its own knowledge.

This is also the reason why Qiudao Mu is so crazy about acquiring knowledge.

It needs to make itself as close to omniscience as possible so that it can see all the possibilities in the future as much as possible.

Is it possible for Ouyang Xiao to completely eliminate the immortal and Mengyu Huaxian? That must exist, but the method he used must be a method that Qiudao Mu didn't know about.

Qiudaomu is no longer surprised by this.

Since the explosion of human beast-controlling technology two hundred years ago, these intelligent creatures have continuously refreshed Qiudaomu's knowledge.

During that time, disruptive knowledge was produced almost every year.

It is precisely because of the addition of this knowledge that Qiudao Mu can see his future destiny and possibilities more and more clearly.

It is indeed true that human beings are now inseparable from the beast-control system with Qiudaomu as its core.

But if you really want to say it, Qiudaomu is already somewhat inseparable from humans.

It requires humanity to produce massive amounts of new knowledge every year to maintain its accurate predictions about the future.

"You are a Qiu Dao Mu, not a fairy with knowledge." Ouyang Xiao observed for a long time and finally came to a conclusion.

Qiu Daomu simply stopped pretending and crossed his shoulders: "Yes, I didn't expect you to do such a crazy thing. This is a bit unlike you."

In Qiudaomu's impression, Ouyang Xiao was an extremely calm researcher and strictly abided by the rules of a human researcher.

And his behavior of injecting the virus into his own body obviously violated the basic principles of a researcher.

Ouyang Xiao said with a helpless smile: "I tried to calm myself down. But the teacher is my guide and he found the direction for my future. When I knew that I could kill the immortal, I couldn't judge rationally. The consequences of this matter.”

As he said that, Ouyang Xiao spread his hands and smiled heartily: "Well, at least the result is not as bad as I imagined."

"You should be lucky that this virus is a very stable double-stranded virus." Qiudaomu said helplessly.

"Huh? Do you also know about this virus?" Zhou Lu said slightly surprised.

Qiu Daomu glanced at Zhou Lu and said, "This virus has been discovered and submitted to different research institutes six times before and after. Of course I know it."

Delicious viruses, as the name suggests, can make their infected people delicious.

What Qiudaomu didn't say was that Ouyang Xiao was not the only one doing research on gene editing of this virus.

Different from Ouyang Xiao's writing direction that pursues killing, several research institutes are studying how to use the delicious genes of viruses to make the meat livestock raised by humans more delicious.

"Just right." Ouyang Xiao said suddenly, "Then you can help me review this paper."

With that said, he took out the edited paper on delicious viruses and told Qiudaomu his plan.

"Research on the side effects of this infection cannot be completed by myself. It requires research from all over the world." Ouyang Xiao said.

"Have you ever thought that this will make all human beings extremely delicious in the eyes of immortals? In the three days after infection, a crazy immortal will kill a large number of innocent civilians." Qiudaomu looked at the paper. , said.

"Sometimes you can only choose the one that's not so bad from two bad options." Ouyang Xiao's expression did not change at all.

"I will help you coordinate." Qiudaomu nodded and finally accepted Ouyang Xiao's paper.

She asked this question not because she was against the plan.

In fact, as long as all the modern immortals were eliminated, Ouyang Xiao's plan could fundamentally destroy the soil for the birth of immortals - provided that this special delicious virus passed the side effect research and was confirmed to be a virus that could coexist with humans.

Zhou Lu did not participate in the conversation between the two. He was encircling and suppressing the last remnants of Yan Gui through the perspective of the ramet.

The immortals of Yan Gui were similar to the conclusions drawn by Zhou Lu's observation.

Hua Huo only sent out a clone ramet, and under the cover of a large number of ordinary ramets, it had successfully suppressed the resistance on Phoenix Island.

When the group arrived at Rongjunyuan, Yan Gui had been almost wiped out by Zhou Lu.

Ye Qingyu had already received Zhou Lu's message and had been waiting at the gate of Rongjunyuan early.

This was also the first time Zhou Lu saw the gate of Rongjunyuan from the outside.

[Meritorious Spirit Pet Recreation Center].

This is the official name of Rongjunyuan.

However, most people still prefer to call it Rongjunyuan.

Ye Qingyu and Ouyang Xiao haven't seen each other for a long time, and Zhou Lu doesn't have the habit of being a light bulb here.

He pulled Hua Huo, who was curiously watching the friendly interaction between men and women, and followed Qiu Dao Mu into the Rongjunyuan.

The breath on Manman's body dissipated, and a sapling appeared in front of Zhou Lu.

The sapling grew up quickly and eventually grew into a graceful figure.

Unlike what he saw before, Qiu Dao Mu appeared in the form of a loli at this time... Well, of course, it was a loli for tree people, and her height was actually about the same as Zhou Lu.

This was probably to have a better conversation with Zhou Lu.

"I plan to re-select the beastmaster in three months." Qiu Dao Mu said on the way, "You have to come to participate then."

Zhou Lu was shocked when he heard Qiu Dao Mu's words: "Yuan Tianwang..."

"Don't worry, he's not dead yet." Qiu Dao Mu said, "But under the serious illness, the official needs to make preparations for the successor."

Zhou Lu nodded.

"I already know where Tian Buzhi and his men are going." Qiu Daomu suddenly said, "They found the seal of Meng Yu Huaxian and are going to unlock it."

"What?!"

Zhou Lu was shocked.

Qiu Daomu smiled and said, "Don't be so surprised, I'm not in a hurry. The seal is not that easy to unlock, you should be able to make it in time now."

Zhou Lu was relieved, but he didn't notice the complicated emotions in Qiu Daomu's eyes.
