Muxi University, the reception hall of the main laboratory building.

The teachers and students who heard the news put aside the things in their hands, ran into the hall, looked at the visitors and the group, and talked a lot.

Guarded by a group of knights, Rachel sat on a bench in the hall and complained to Alfonso: "Mr. Dunlop is too slow."

Wearing a keel armor, Alfonso standing at the door said: "I'm used to it, every time."

Rachel turned his head to look upstairs, and said as he looked at it, "Could Wayne Dunlop be busy experimenting again and forget the time?"

Alfonso was taken aback for a moment, and then he found an attendant knight and motioned him to ask.

Ten minutes later, the attendant knight returned with an answer.

Wayne did forget the time of the meeting.

Seeing Wayne finally appear at the top of the stairs, Rachel breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and walked out.

Holding a pile of data books in his hand, Wayne refused the help of the knight, staggered to the carriage, and threw it inside.

Facing the piles of books and notes on the floor of the carriage, Rachel reluctantly shook his head, reached out to clear a small area, and sat sideways in it.

Wayne got in afterwards and began to look through the ground and sort out the materials he wanted.

Rachel clapped his hands and signaled that he was ready to go.

Alfonso stood at the driving position, flicked the reins, and drove the carriage slowly towards the school gate.

Rachel looked at Wayne, who was searching for materials on the ground, then focused his attention on the other party's stained lab coat and long untreated beard, and asked: "Mr. Dunlop, what are you looking for? "

"A set of experimental data on the Necrovirus, as well as the antibody resistance test..." Wayne said while looking for it: "I remember I put the report in it, but I forgot where it was. It's in the book...Due to the rush of time, I can only take this pile of books with me."

Rachel lowered his head to look at Wayne's face, and whispered, "Mr. Dunlop, with all due respect, you need sleep."

Wayne didn't lift his head: "It's not the time to talk about this. If you can't find a way to deal with the necrotic plague, then the entire city will sleep forever."

Rachel sighed slightly, sat up straight, and stopped talking.

"Ha, here!" Wayne drew out a stack of papers from a book, flipping through it and said: "This data is a bit old, but it works. By the way, the zero number you found What are his physical symptoms? Heartbeat? Brain waves? Neural reactions?"

Rachel was a little confused by a series of questions: "Mr. Dunlop, slow down, first of all you explain what the zero number is?"

Wayne: "Patient zero is the first person to be infected with the virus. He has the first-generation strain in his body and has developed antibodies to the source of the disease. Therefore, patient zero is of great significance for responding to the virus and developing antibodies."

Rachel continued to ask, "So, what's the matter with that...antibody?"

Wayne: "In His Majesty's library, this is how antibodies are explained. Antibodies are actually a protein secreted by plasma cells and used by the immune system to identify and neutralize foreign substances such as bacteria and viruses... "

Wayne looked up at Rachel’s expression, paused, and continued: “In short, a host infected with bacteria and viruses will produce a special immunoglobulin in the body after survival. This substance After being extracted and refined, it can resist or even neutralize the pathogen."

Rachel asked, "What is the relationship between that antibody and patient zero?"

Wayne: "Patient zero was infected with the first-generation virus. This generation of virus has not mutated and has not been recombined, so it is called the root virus. Therefore, the antibodies in patient zero have a broad spectrum of resistance against the virus family. sex."

Wayne worried that Rachel would still not understand, and said: "To put it simply, you can find patient zero and you can develop an antidote to the necrotic plague."

Rachel nodded: "There is a question. The zero patient we found, that is, Marcus, has already been infected. Can we still extract antibodies from him?"

Wayne rubbed his hands: "This is a good question. I have dissected many dead spirits. Most of the organs and tissues in their bodies have been completely occupied by necrotic viruses. The immune system has been completely destroyed, and there is no trace of it. Traces of antibodies."

Rachel said: "Since it is a necromancer, then the whole body is naturally dead. Without the antibody you mentioned, this is normal."

Wayne said excitedly: "But your Majesty told me this time that you have found Patient Zero from the Southern Empire, that is, the first person to be infected with the Necrotic Virus. Not only that, the Patient Zero is not complete. The dead body, he has self-awareness and a memory bank of normal people. Do you know what this means?"

Rachel said uncertainly: "Meaning that he... is not dead yet?"

Wayne shook his head vigorously: "No, no, you didn't understand what I meant. That patient number zero, is he called...?"

Richel: "Marcus."

Wayne: "Yes, Marcus! As patient zero, if Marcus is just an ordinary necromancer, then he would be of no help in studying virus antibodies?"

Rachel: "Why?"

Wayne: "Did you forget what I just said? An ordinary undead, whose organs and tissues are all corroded by the virus, how can this sample be used to develop antibodies?"

Rachel understood a little: "So... the reason why Marcus is valuable is not only because he is patient zero, but also because he should have living tissues or organs that are functioning normally, and in those tissues and organs. Inside, can you find the existence of antibodies?"

Wayne snapped his fingers: "That's right! That's right! That's it! A necroman who is a patient number zero, but has living organs and tissues in his body, both of these conditions are met, which is as rare as winning a big prize. Moreover, if I am not mistaken, Marcus has the ability to think and remember, which means that at least all or part of his nerve center is intact and functioning, and I can find antibodies from there."

Rachel pondered for a moment, and then suddenly asked, "Assuming that there are virus antibodies in Marcus's nerve center, will the whole extraction process harm his life?"

Wayne: "It hurts the lives of dead souls. This statement... is very interesting, but I understand what you mean..."

Wayne put his arms around his chest, pondered for a long time, and gave this answer: "If I have the technology and equipment of your majesty's world, then I am 100% sure that, without harming patient zero, Extract the antibodies from his body."

Rachel stared at Wayne and said, "But ~lightnovelpub.net~you don't."

Wayne sighed: "Yes, I don't...Then we have to separate the situation next."

"If antibodies can be extracted in areas like spinal nerves or eye nerves, then the damage I caused to Marcus will be negligible... But if there is no way to extract effective antibodies from these places, I must locate the surgical site In the brain, cerebellum, and brainstem, this can cause permanent and irreversible damage."

Rachel asked in a deep voice, "What kind of damage?"

Wayne: "Marcus may have symptoms such as forgetting, aphasia, mania, etc. In the worst case, he will die forever... I mean... the second death..."

Rachel bit his lower lip and said nothing.

Wayne asked tentatively: "Why? Is Marcus a very important person? Or does your Majesty have another instruction?"

Rachel took a deep breath: "No... do everything you can do, at all costs, you must extract antibodies."
