Chapter 366 Killer Whale Man
One day ago, he was a Homo sapiens tourist, driving a boat, singing and having fun adventures with his friends. Just one day later, he inexplicably owed 700 million credit debts, his two important friends disappeared, he was involved in a murder case, he is now a prince with high status, he has a queen with whom he has a broken relationship, he may be assassinated again at any time, and he will meet with a diplomatic ambassador the day after tomorrow to discuss interstellar affairs.
Now, he also had to watch the end of a seriously ill patient.
…
…
The Xiyiqi roared in the dark room.
"Your Highness," Conte said worriedly.
The prince didn't care, he took a step forward. The patient in the room was no longer recognizable. His body was like a half-melted piece of rotten meat. His bloodshot eyes looked around numbly. His smell was a chaotic , spreading in a disordered roar. This mutant could no longer be called an intelligent creature, but just a pile of rotting organic matter that was barely surviving.
“……” The prince looked at him silently.
This is the end of the deep red mutation of the Xiyi people.
A crazy monster.
"Your Highness, you are too close, please step back," Supervisor Su Zheng said.
The smell of the supervisor had not yet dissipated, and the terminal mutant's eyes suddenly stared at the prince. He exhaled with a hissing sound, and pus dripped down his deformed mouthparts. The prince discerned some remnants of rationality from his eyes, and a vague consciousness surged in, (Save me... It hurts...)
"Your Highness, retreat!" Conte shouted urgently.
After staring at the prince for a few seconds, the monstrous mutant suddenly let out a terrible roar, and his limbs supported his rotten body in a weird posture. (It hurts so much, Li Wen...)
The inspectors drew their guns.
"Wait a minute!" the prince said. But at this time the mutant had already pounced on him. Several laser beams instantly pierced him, and his body exploded, completely turning into shattered flesh and blood. The only remaining eye moved on the wreckage. (Save me...) Then this last consciousness gradually faded away and turned into scattered dust.
The prince stood outside the door, looking at the dead body lying on the ground. The cleansers came forward and began to clean up the scene.
The Supervisor of the Rectification watched his subordinates' actions with a grim face. The prince originally thought that he would say something like "Your Highness, it is right to carry out the genetic rectification as soon as possible", but the Supervisor said nothing. Perhaps he was already accustomed to dealing with these mid- to late-stage mutants, or he maintained proper etiquette in front of the prince, or perhaps this was his last bit of mourning for his dead compatriots.
No matter who saw this scene, one thought came to their mind: such an ending is really tragic.
"It took thirty sunsets from the time the red eye symptoms appeared to the time they turned into this," Director Lucy said. "If there were medicine, those children could have survived for a while longer."
The implication is that without adequate medicine, those children will face a situation worse than death.
The supervisor snorted. The prince heard his subconscious, (You are harming those children.)
Maybe he is right.
After the most serious mutant was cleared, the remaining 25 mutants were given a two-day reprieve at the prince's request. The genetic correctors left.
Director Lucy invited the prince back to the office, where he unexpectedly saw the Sadie staff member, who was also the only Sadie in the 72nd Rescue Center.
The Sadie was the only person in the office besides Director Lucy. She was waiting to meet him. The prince suddenly realized something.
"Your Highness, I have analyzed the mutant gene models I have obtained in the past few days." The killer whale clicked on the holographic screen, and several charts and a gene model jumped into the air. The killer whale quickly demonstrated various data curves and displayed various abnormal phenomena after the mutation. "According to the current model, mutations always appear suddenly and randomly, and will increase by several orders of magnitude as time goes by. You see, this mutation cannot be reversed."
This killer whale is called Noa, and she is a top biological genetics expert in the galaxy. Although she is a Sadie, she has no interest in politics and faction struggles, and is only obsessed with academic research. Because she is very interested in the sudden mutation of the Siyiqi people, after being introduced to Prince Alsiel, she now voluntarily stays in the rescue center to study the Crimson mutation.
It turns out that Prince Alsiel has also recruited a Sadie expert. Xiao Zhen remained calm and listened to the killer whale expert's statement.
After watching her demonstrate and explain one model after another and a large amount of data, the prince quickly came to a conclusion: Facing this kind of mutation, genetic experts were helpless.
"Although I don't want to admit it, I was too optimistic last time. The truth is very cruel. The research results of the Guizhong tribe on the crimson mutation are correct." Noa drooped her fins with great regret. "The drug developed by us Saidi people - the rejuvenation agent, can only slow down the mutation speed and cannot really cure the patient."
"I know." The prince said. The killer whale lady's words aroused some of the prince's remaining memories. "Our researchers have been working hard to save their compatriots. In your opinion, is there no breakthrough?"
"..." Noah looked at the prince hesitantly, seeming to be hesitant to speak.
"Go ahead."
"The genes of all the Xichi people now actually come from the gene model of the Xichi ancestor queen." Noa said, and she made a conclusion that the Xichi people would never dare to think about. "I suspect that the genes of the Guizhong tribe were passed down from generation to generation by queens, and perhaps an error occurred during the replication process of one generation, and this error was also passed down."
"Shut up!!!" Conte roared, his originally handsome face twisted with anger, "You are slandering our queen!"
“I was just pushing…”
"Shut up!! You are blaspheming our queen!" Conde roared , "The queen's genes are sacred and perfect!! This kind of filthy mutation can never happen!! You Saidi people can only make up lies!!!"
“Scientific research requires considering different possibilities and making multiple inferences.”
"You're lying! I knew you had bad intentions..."
"Condé!" the prince shouted.
Conte turned to look at the prince, "Your Highness, don't listen to her ridiculous nonsense!"
"Quiet!" The prince looked at Noa, "You made a guess without any evidence."
Noa said , "Your Highness, I am not a Chinese race standing here. I am just a genetic researcher. I have the self-esteem of a scholar. I am only responsible for science. This is just a possible guess."
"Your fantastic conjecture is enough for me to declare you expelled from the country right now."
“So I’m just telling you.”
"Then shut up, and don't mention what you just said to anyone outside this room." The prince said in a cold tone.
" yes."
Conte still looked indignant.
But the killer whale lady's subconscious mind did not lie. She had no selfish motives in her academic research. She really wanted to find out the truth of this mutation. If her inference was correct, if there was something wrong with the queen's genes, the prince did not dare to think about it any further. This was equivalent to declaring that all Xiyiqi people were invisible patients of this terrible mutation. This was bad news that could shake the entire Xiyiqi. Everyone might mutate, even Alji, the next generation queen candidate...
No, this is just a guess.
The worst guess.
The prince collected his thoughts and asked Noah about the details of the rejuvenation agent developed by the Sadis.
"Oh, I know this very well." Noa said, "Your Highness, you asked me last time."
What a pity, now Alsiel's remaining memories can't find any relevant remnants. Tell me again!
According to the explanation of the killer whale Noa, the rejuvenator is currently the most effective remedy to alleviate the deep red mutation of the Xiyi people. The principle of making the rejuvenator is not very difficult, and the Xiyi people can also make it. But the problem is that this medicine has an important formula for synthesis, a rare element that is extremely rare in the Milky Way. This rare element only exists deep under the sea of the Saidi people's home planet. It is extremely rare, and it is extremely difficult to mine and it is easy to pollute the environment. In recent years, the power parliament of the Saidi people's home planet has been arguing about whether to expand production. In the last discussion, the environmentalists and the trade factions almost had a public fight in the parliament.
"Your Highness, the Rejuvenation Drug can cure the Xiyiqi people and bring huge profits to us Saidi people. The trade faction has always had the upper hand, but before the last public vote, there was an exploitation pollution incident in the Moss Sea area of our home planet, which caused the death of a large number of marine life. Uh, the public opinion on our home planet was all condemning this. As a result, the environmentalists won an overwhelming victory in the vote. Therefore, the amount of Rejuvenation Drug exported by Saidi has also been sharply reduced recently." Noah glanced at Conde next to her, "In addition, the Xiyiqi people are very hostile to us Saidi people, and the situation between the two tribes is not very good now, so the voice of the trade faction is getting lower and lower."
Thinking of the hostility towards the Sadis, the prince recalled the two orca people who had been robbed and the angry thugs who were almost waving the flag demanding that the Sadis get out of Xiyiqi.
"So this rare element is only found on your home planet?" This is too much of a coincidence.
"The only area that has been explored so far is our home planet. This can only be called a joke of fate." Noa said with a wry smile, "Your Highness, you should have heard the rumors that we, the Sadis, poisoned the Xiyi people and caused the deep red mutation of the Xiyi people."
I think there will be rumors about this kind of thing. Two tribes that have always had bad relations, one of them has frequent mutations, and the other has a rare element that can alleviate mutations that is unique in the galaxy. It's too much of a coincidence to say that this is a coincidence. No matter how you look at it, you Saidi people are also suspicious.
Noa said loudly, "But in fact, we only need to study it to know. I really want to know who among us Saidi people can make such a perfect gene mutation! It is a random mutation of the same family gene with no way to determine the incubation period or the target. Anyone who can make such a mutation can be called a god." She glanced at Conde who was about to jump up and beat her, and quickly changed her words: "Or should I say a devil."
"Is it really only found on your home planet?"
"..." Noah thought for a moment, "I did collect some information recently."
"What?"
"Recently, there is a rumor in Saidi's scientific circle that there is a planet that may have this rare element, and some people even plan to invest in mining it."
"What planet?"
"This planet is called Yota CVS 37."
"ah?"
"I just happened to have an appointment with the customer service of this planet. Your Highness, you can consult it now."
Noah clicked on the screen and a customer service window popped up.
The electronic program Yan An No. 8 said: "Hello, dear guest! No. 8 Yan An is at your service!"
Prince: “?”
