Chapter 948: Chapter 384 Super Program Chapter 948: Chapter 384 Super Program Yan Fei never expected that a slight mutation of the Ebola virus would turn it from a pathogen that infects humans into a terrifying virus that infects only non-native canines, which was indeed somewhat unbelievable.

However, Yan Fei immediately thought of a question, saying, “This virulent virus has been rapidly evolving, but I remember that the Ebola virus does not have such strong evolutionary capabilities.”

Yang Qi replied, “The so-called rapid evolution of the virus is just an external illusion of this modified version of the Ebola virus. It seems to be evolving all the time, but in fact, it is just constantly changing its shell without any substantial change inside. The purpose is to prevent anyone from deciphering its ultimate mystery. At the same time, because this virulent virus is an incomplete modified version of the Ebola virus, its vitality will not last long. It can only reproduce for one hundred generations in nature, which means that after two years, without any human intervention, it will completely disappear from the natural world.”

After hearing Yang Qi's explanation, Yan Fei was finally relieved. He had always been afraid that this virulent virus would continually evolve and mutate, becoming harmful to humans. But he hadn't expected that the so-called evolution was actually a disguise of the virus, which in essence, had not undergone any changes. As such, the virus was naturally not as terrifying as imagined. The most crucial point was that this virus had a natural flaw, its existence in the natural world was limited to two years, which wouldn't cause too much harm to the world.

Yang Qi added, “We had completely deciphered the genetic map of the Ebola virus, and based on this genome, we created a special medicine for treating the Ebola virus. Therefore, we were able to eliminate external interference and identify its core nature when tackling this virulent virus. For this mutated version of the Ebola virus, we made slight modifications to the previous special medicine, which can easily kill these virulent viruses. Moreover, because these virulent viruses are simpler, our special medicine doesn't have any toxic side effects.”

Yan Fei sighed and said, “In the history of the war between humans and bacterial viruses, although there are setbacks, humans ultimately achieve victory.”

Yang Qi commented, “Looking at the research results, I have to admire the person who modified the Ebola virus genes. He managed to come up with such a brilliant method to make minor gene alterations that changed the appearance of the virus and fundamentally enhanced its destructive power. In this regard, this person is worth learning from.”

Yan Fei understood that Zhu Yong was just an ordinary researcher. Although he had some capability in pharmaceutical research, he was far from being able to manipulate virus genes, even with the backing of a Pharmaceutical Research Center. Therefore, it was very likely that Zhu Yong's interaction with the Ebola virus involved a special ability, with which he could modify the Ebola virus to his liking. These modifications could be illogical and without any scientific basis, making Yang Qi's desire to learn from Zhu Yong potentially fruitless.

Zhu Yong's ability was mysterious, somewhat similar to Yan Fei's Drone Avatar; essentially, both were concepts that could be understood but not described in words. It was likely that even Zhu Yong couldn't explain how he had managed to mutate the Ebola virus.

Then Yan Fei thought of a question: How had Zhu Yong come into contact with the Ebola virus in the first place? It was known that the Ebola virus had been devastating the African continent, and there was no presence of the Ebola virus within China. Yan Fei immediately realized that the only way Zhu Yong could have come into contact with the Ebola virus was on the African continent.

Combining the facts that Zhu Yong had previously traveled to Kenya and then disappeared for a period, and that a large-scale Ebola outbreak began in Kenya afterwards, there was only one possibility: Zhu Yong was the one who found the jar of Ebola virus in a cave near Aywei Village, broke it, and released the virus.

Yan Fei was still unclear about how Zhu Yong performed the modification of the Ebola virus, but he could foresee that to modify the Ebola virus, one must first procure it. That's why Zhu Yong would go all the way to Kenya. Then, he must have used a method unknown to Yan Fei to find the cave concealing the Ebola virus and obtain it.

Since Zhu Yong had the ability to modify the Ebola virus, he would naturally be immune to its infection. That's why he could return to China unscathed and release the virulent virus targeting non-native canines in Hang City's Red Star Square.

Zhu Yong's ability was extremely dangerous; if it went out of control, it could mean the end of the world. It is evident from Zhu Yong's messages on the Internet that he harbored the deepest hatred for the elderly. He could potentially continue to modify the Ebola virus. If he perfected the modifications, it could mean that the elderly across the entire world would meet untimely deaths.

Therefore, Yan Fei wanted to find Zhu Yong as soon as possible, to stop his madness. Although he himself was dissatisfied with some old people's behavior, most of the elderly were innocent. Moreover, no one knew whether Zhu Yong would change his goal, aiming to eradicate the entire human race. But so far, Zhu Yong had not gone on a spree killing the elderly; he had only killed those non-native canines. Of course, because he released the Ebola virus, thousands had already died in Kenya, but Yan Fei believed that was most likely an accident and not intentional on Zhu Yong's part.
