2 Chapter 2 Ancient Viruses

AH Kai lies back on the bed, recalling the past events, imperceptibly fell asleep.

In a week.

The Antarctic continent.

The Antarctic research station in M country.

Scientists are on edge today after they discovered several giant mammoths frozen under the ice.

Although the mammoth was discovered in both Siberia and Alaska in 2016, it was claimed that genetic techniques could be used to bring it back to life, but both missions failed because the technology at the time was too poor to obtain complete strands of mammoth DNA.

Now more than 170 years have passed, biotechnology has developed to an unprecedented level, the cloning of limb organs technology has been very mature, the upper class has widely used this technology to replace limbs and organs.

And clones have already begun to make major breakthroughs.Deciphering the genetic sequence is no longer difficult.

Scientists in China have cloned an ancient mosquito in the past two days, although the mosquito only lived for two hours.But it was the biggest breakthrough in paleontological history.

Now the scientists in M country are full of enthusiasm, and what they think is that they must resurrect a "big guy" so that they can't be looked down upon by their old brothers.

With the careful construction of large excavating machines and the delicate operation of high-tech equipment, a mammoth was finally excavated intact. It was transported on a flatbed truck to a temporary camp not far from the excavation site, and then it was put into a white tent by a forklift.

Outside the tent, a cordon was immediately imposed by heavily armed M soldiers, and a few biology doctors with temporary passes took samples and went into a nearby laboratory to analyze the DNA.

The mammoth's body was thawed for DNA extraction, but no one found a tiny thing that woke up in the hair of the mammoth's leg. It was a two-centimeter-long ancient flea, called a flea, but ancient fleas didn't jump, and they were much, much bigger than today's fleas.

In the previous archaeological research has never found the ancient flea's body, only found the ancient flea's fossil.So even in front of humans, no one can recognize what it is at first sight.

With the first ancient flea woke up, mammoths in the body of a dozen of ancient flea woke up.

Perhaps the ancient fleas had been hungry for so long that they began to crawl rapidly through the gaps in their tents in search of their new food.

The human skin is more tender than the dinosaur, a bite was broken, but the human is more sensitive than the dinosaur, the first time was bitten by the discovery of the "murderer", at first there are scientists caught the ancient flea, closed to the airtight container.

As more and more people were bitten by ancient fleas, some developed symptoms such as low grade fevers, coughs, and even violent attacks, biting caretakers.

The government immediately ordered the closure of the research station and the excavation site, and sent a CDC team to carry out a full quarantine inspection.

Heavily-armed CDC experts conducted thorough dissections of dead ancient fleas, as well as thorough tests of severely ill patients, and concluded that the ancient fleas carried an ancient virus in their mouthparts, with unknown infectiity, unknown transmission routes and unknown harm.Based on the shape of the virus's DNA strand, it may be the ancestor of the Ebola virus, which is endemic in Africa.

Ebola virus, these words make everyone's heart is very heavy, that is known as the zombie virus highly deadly virus ah!Mortality rates range from 50 to 90 percent.

"But the symptoms of Ebola are completely different from the symptoms of this ancient virus."Biologists have raised objections of their own."And the DNA of Ebola is completely different from the DNA of this virus!"

The words of CDC experts made everyone's heart fall to the bottom of the valley. The Ebola virus was not eliminated by human beings. It suddenly and mysteriously disappeared after two years of ravages.These things remain unsolved mysteries in the field of virus research.The DNA of each virus is different, but it is similar in some subtle ways.

CDC experts say so, but the patients are being treated as best they can.The experts divided the patients into groups and then administered them with all available antiviral drugs.

Because it would take so long to develop an antiviral vaccine, virus samples have been secretly flown back to M. for study.

Over the course of a week, all of the patients miraculously recovered overnight.All symptoms have disappeared.

At the urging of CDC specialists, the patients were kept in isolation for two more weeks, and all patients were asymptomatic.

Although the CDC experts still wanted to keep the patients in isolation and observation, the patients and their families strongly opposed the idea, and the CDC experts did not have the authority to enforce long-term isolation and observation of the patients. Therefore, all the patients were released from isolation and reunited with their families with the approval of the president of M country.

It's Christmas Eve, December 24, and as most countries celebrate the biggest holiday of the year, the crowds at Time Square in NY City are filled with Christmas cheer.

The snow floating up in the sky, although the weather is cold, women and children are wearing a variety of luminous Christmas headdress, many men wearing a red Christmas hat.

All the shops are brightly lit, the window is covered with the words of a discount, the shop is covered with colorful balls, bells, Christmas tree filled with all kinds of gifts, to welcome every guest.

A man dressed in a red Santa Claus costume hands out Christmas presents to passers-by.Everything is so beautiful and peaceful.

Just then, an unassuming man staggers up to Santa Claus with an empty bottle in his left hand and his right.

Santa Claus thought he was asking for gifts, so he handed him a box of presents.Unexpectedly is: "shit, how do you arrest people?""Cried Father Christmas.

Santa raised his hand to find that his hand had been scratched by the drunk, who had walked away through the crowd.

From the crowd in front of them there were frequent curses, and many of them had scratches, but only skin cuts, not serious ones.

There were also people who wanted to catch the drunkard and send him to the nearby police station, but the drunkard, who seemed to be walking unsteadily, was as slippery as a loach and did not leave his hands. No one could catch him, so we had to consider ourselves unlucky and put on a Band-Aid at home.

It was quickly forgotten on joyous Christmas Eve, but...
