Chinese agents survive in a zombie apocalypse.

Chapter 105 Escaping the CDC (2)

......

After breakfast, Dr. Jenner led everyone to the main control room.

All the way, Amy clung tightly to Li Ailun's arm, her smiling face beaming with happiness. After what happened last night, she could finally openly declare her 'ownership' in front of everyone.

"..."

Susan followed behind the two, and seeing their intimate manner, she felt a pang of jealousy.

But now is not the time to be jealous.

The others weren't in the mood to watch the drama unfold; they were all eager to find out more and had many questions they wanted to answer.

Upon arriving at the control room, Dr. Jenner went straight to the workbench, turned on the computer, and issued commands to the main control system:

"Replaying Experiment 19..."

"Replaying Experiment 19..."

Then, as the AI ​​intelligently repeated the instructions, the main screen in front of the workbench turned on, and a window popped up on the huge screen showing a loading progress bar.

"Very few people have seen this information..."

"Not many."

Dr. Jenner turned to look at everyone and said with a rather emotional tone.

These documents are all classified as top secret, but under the current circumstances, he no longer needs to abide by those rules.

As soon as he finished speaking, a human head appeared on the big screen, and then as the image continued to refresh, an image of a blue brain became clearer and clearer to everyone.

Is that the brain?

Little Carl looked at the images on the big screen and asked with a curious expression.

"A brilliant mind..."

"Leaving aside the outcome."

Dr. Jenner turned to the screen and gave another instruction: "Show the magnified internal view."

"Interior magnified view".

As the AI-powered voice sounded...

The image on the big screen changed again, with the brain view gradually enlarging until a huge and complex image of neural tissue appeared on the screen.

Amidst this complex and intricate scene, numerous bright blue spots flicker and constantly shuttle back and forth between neural pathways, appearing remarkably active.

"..."

Most people didn't quite understand; they just stared intently at the changes on the screen.

What are those bright spots?

Sean was the first to raise a question.

On the other side, Susan's gaze was also drawn to the images on the screen. After hearing his question, she said with some emotion, "That's a person's life, experiences, and memories..."

"Yes, everything is here..."

Dr. Jenner nodded and continued explaining, "All these organizational networks, all these bright spots, make you who you are..."

"It makes you unique and human."

"I still don't understand..."

Daryl, with his hands clasped under his armpits, looked completely bewildered.

"Those are neural synapses, electrical impulses in the brain, carrying all information..."

Dr. Jenner pointed to the screen, like a responsible teacher patiently answering students' questions.

"From the moment you are born, it controls your words, actions, and thoughts until your death..."

"Until death?"

Rick caught the key point and immediately asked, "Is this a surveillance image?"

"That's right..."

Dr. Jenner nodded, but then paused and corrected himself, saying, "To be precise... it's the playback of monitoring images."

"Is this person dead?"

"Who is he?"

Andrea asked curiously.

"Test subject number 19..."

Dr. Jenner was about to continue her presentation.

"Doctor, we're not here to listen to your lecture..."

Moore, however, had no patience for their idle chatter and interrupted Dr. Jenner, saying impatiently, "Tell us something about the virus."

"..."

Seeing that the others had similar feelings, Jenna called out to the system, "Wei, browse item one."

"Browse Project One".

As the AI's emotionless voice rang out, the images on the large screen changed again.

In this footage, a large black patch was clearly visible in the brain tissue, and these black patches were expanding at an extremely rapid rate, frantically devouring the surrounding blue bright patch area.

"..."

Li Ailun stared at the screen, his pupils slightly contracting. This information was exactly what he had insisted on coming here for, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

"Uncle..."

Because Amy was pressed tightly against Li Ailun, she seemed to sense his unusual emotions, so she turned her head and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"fine......"

Feeling Amy's warm breath on his ear, Li Ailun quickly composed himself.

However, his mind was racing, and he began to think about how to get his hands on the information.

"That is how the matter?"

At this moment, Glenn saw the scene change again and couldn't help but ask.

"That's the virus spreading..."

Susan said.

As if to confirm her words, the black spots on the screen gradually spread outwards, constantly devouring and consuming the areas of the blue bright spots. The human body in the image also began to struggle, as if the process was extremely painful.

Until finally, not a single blue spot could be seen in the entire brain, the entire process from viral infection to death was vividly displayed before everyone.

"It infects the brain like meningitis, causing adrenal hemorrhage..."

"The brain stops functioning, then it spreads to the major organs..."

"Finally, death..."

"Your past and your future have both vanished..."

Jenner explained the whole process to them in more detail. He looked somewhat forlorn as he looked at the screen, but his voice remained calm.

"..."

Seeing this scene, others felt more or less heavy-hearted.

Would Jim do that too?

Sofia looked up at her mother and asked, bewildered.

Hearing her daughter's question, Carol nodded and said, "That's right..."

Seeing Dr. Jenner's confusion, Susan explained to him, "Jim was the patient who didn't make it this far."

"I regret......"

Dr. Jenner expressed his regret to them, then turned to the system and gave another instruction: "Browse Project Two."

"Browse Project Two."

As the AI-powered voice sounded, a window popped up on the screen to load the database.

"The duration of the mutation varies; the report says it can be as short as three minutes and as long as eight hours. As for this patient..."

At this point, Dr. Jenner's voice finally changed slightly, and she said in a heavy tone, "It's... two hours, one minute... and seven seconds..."
