Mutation, Enhancement, and Change (2)

"And their names are all only one letter?"

"Aside from Virus R, the rest have different name that's quite long," Sienna replied. "But I guess it'll be better if I just use the alphabet since it can get confusing."

The others nodded. They certainly didn't have the willingness to remember the name of the viruses. What a joke, those were the viruses that have been destroying everything in the entire world.

"In total, there are 5 virus, but the main virus is Virus R. That's why the mass media has been blaming Virus R for the cause of creating Xermo."

William tilted his head. "I presume other viruses didn't attack the nerve."

"Yes. Virus X is originally used to enhance one's body in the military and actually not targeted to be used for mass media. However, the research is still incomplete when there's an accident and the virus is released out."

Sienna held the urge to curse right now. When the incident occurred, it was only told that a certain research facility that was researching a cure was destroyed. While in truth, it was developing the virus in order to enhance their soldier's strength.

"And it's mutated after come into contact with other viruses?"

"…The story is long."

"Don't worry, we have enough time here." William smiled. Actually, they had to make their move soon since they didn't know how long the hotel could hold on, but spending a few minutes for this talk should be fine.

"As you know, human bodies have antibodies and different immunity. As all of the viruses is released to the world, as long as you have basic immunity against Virus R, M, and O, you won't get sick at all. But if you didn't have the immunity of those three viruses, you'll either get sick by heavy fever, craziness, or heavy flu.

These are all the basic sickness that you can get. As for Virus X and Virus E, they're actually made to enhance either your basic strength by manipulating the base protein… well just know that it can increase your strength or your mind," Sienna chose to change her words when she saw the expression Gloria and Rozan made. They clearly felt that she was about to use some amazing terms again.

"It's all just normal sickness, or it's supposed to be. The moment the virus is exposed to radiation, they changed and mutated. Those who had Virus R in their bodies when they didn't have any immunity will change to Xermo."

Rozan rubbed his short beard once more. He felt that this information was a bit too much for an old man like him. There were too many new things that he couldn't digest so quickly.

"And it's spreading fast?"

"Well, those who have the mutated Virus R immunity will be fine even if they got bitten. But other people will change into Xermo once it attacks one's mind," Sienna explaining.

"No cure?"

"…There's no cure for any sickness or viruses that attack your nerve so far. The medicine that scientist have developed so far couldn't cure everything yet."

William passed a look at Yakov. The two of them already received the basic information of the research regarding the Xermo, so they also knew about this. Every treatment that the researcher tried to cure the Xermo didn't bear any fruit whatsoever.

There was nothing they could do to cure these patients.

"If you make the virus, why don't you create the antidote altogether?" Gloria asked in confusion.

"I'm not the one who make it."

"Then…?"

Sienna shrugged. "I'm not entirely sure which big country this Virus R come from. The only information that we got is the fact that there are several big countries preparing these viruses because of the war that has been going on between them."

"Why are they going to war?"

"…I don't know. I don't follow the news outlet that closely."

William rubbed his forehead. The media said many things about the reason for the war to occur. But even up until now, he was no entirely sure which one was actually the correct one since he was also unclear regarding the overall situation of the world. And with him unable to contact anyone outside anymore, there was no method for him to know the situation…

"Gloria."

"Yes?"

"Can you charge my phone and connect me to the internet?"

Gloria raised her head then nodded lightly. "I can."

William took his phone and handed it to Gloria. He had forgotten to turn it off on the very first day. The phone itself was not that damaged, but the battery had run out after staying on for three days straight without being charged.

Sienna looked at Gloria with inquiry. "That's to say, you know how to get electricity?"

"I only activate the generator."

"Huh?"

Gloria blinked her eyes. "I don't mean the generator that can power up the entire city. There's also portable generator that's small or one that's medium in size. Uncle Rozan had one that's small in size but not portable, so I use it to be able to get electricity."

"…I see."

William sighed and then looked at Sienna once more. Even though the crucial questions about virus R are answered, there were still several more questions.

And the most important thing of them all was:

"Sienna, tell me."

"Yes?"

"Is there any method to gain superpower?"

"HUH?"
