Chapter 954: Chapter 954 A PreviewBut this isn’t the main point. Setting aside the genetic issue for now, the mass death of the infected isn’t unstoppable. With the lesson from W06 Base City, other surviving base cities should have a large stockpile of antitoxins. The fact that the SE virus problem has remained unresolved is illogical. Allowing the virus to survive within the infected is like a ticking time bomb—these vast base cities, there’s no way not a single player has found an antitoxin capable of a radical cure.
Since the SE virus weakens with transmission and over time, it’s evident that the developers aimed not merely to sever the future of certain base cities. Attaching these effects must serve a corresponding purpose.
Throttling Evolver genes would take at least fifteen years to show results. Contrary to what Teacher Ai said, the SE virus was created with killing in mind—possibly even as its primary purpose.
Whether in the base cities of the past or those of present, the rapidly growing population and the extreme scarcity of resources are the biggest problems.
"No specific antitoxin?" Xu Huo asked after pondering for a moment, "Base City 01 wouldn’t release such a virus without some way to save themselves."
Teacher Ai pulled a face, "There are such fools in the world who only look ahead and not behind."
"If there really was an antitoxin, not so many people would die." The square-faced man ran his hands through his hair, "One third of the population, how many children died within... I don’t understand, why does W11 still have the SE original samples?"
Though the square-faced man was a retired security guard from a government laboratory, he appeared to be under fifty years old. Compared to Teacher Ai’s anger, he held more sympathy for the ordinary people of Base W37 City.
"Is the law enforcement team after you because of the SE virus?" Xu Huo shifted the topic.
The square-faced man looked at Teacher Ai, who explained: "Xiong Qing was once a pharmacist for Base City 01. If the base government knew the SE virus was spreading, they would certainly suspect him, and my sudden arrival in W37 wouldn’t be overlooked by the government."
"It’s just that now with the outbreak, who knows if W37 will make use of the antitoxin reserves from the laboratory."
"Can the laboratory’s reserves even save that many people?" Xu Huo looked at the two of them, "And as you said, it will take at most forty-eight hours for the infection to cover the entire city, which might not be enough time."
"That’s not certain," said the square-faced man, Xiong Qing, "Before I left the laboratory, the government shut down a project on the SE virus. It was said that this project was focused on an antitoxin for the SE virus and seemed to have made some progress, but the professor in charge died of illness. Since the infectivity of the SE virus became less lethal, the project was abandoned. If we can get the re
"Yes, but it only lasts for a minute," Kuang Wenjun replied, looking up at the players guarding the Canopy Pillar, "Breaking through the defense line won’t be easy."
"That’s not a problem," Xu Huo put on the Invisibility Cloak. Instead of using the elevator, he went straight up from above. Holding "Three Seconds of a Lifetime" in his hand for a second, all the spatial restriction devices placed on the Canopy Pillar stopped working. As he landed on the aerial structure, he lit fires with his lighter, igniting many shops. In the ensuing chaos, he and Kuang Wenjun burst into a TV station building.
