Chapter 253: 184 Chapter Silent Hill_2

A mad era!

Seeing the hope to break through the "three big problems," I started paying attention to this genius mathematician, who was also a "school tyrant."

However, until 2040, he was still stuck on the last two problems.

I visited Wei Yidong, who had become a father, with a touch of regret.

Mentioning this, his face was filled with melancholy.

"My biggest regret is accepting that interview back then..."

Talent is fostered in silence, or should academic pursuits remain purely academic...

...

Time flies.

In this life, I chose not to focus most of my resources on the research projects of Changqing Biological.

Instead, I went all in investing in Cheng Biao’s security company and Mengshan Pasture.

Rather than drawing out a meager existence until 2043 to face that seven-day apocalypse of utter despair,

It was better to go for broke!

If you don’t burst forth in silence, you’ll perish in silence!

Although the construction disrupted the harmonious natural scenery of Mengshan Village and attracted the attention of local government agencies, any problem that money could solve wasn’t a problem at all.

In 2043, half a month before the arrival of Ming Shen Star,

robust men from Cheng Biao’s security company moved into the Mengshan Village shelter to start building defenses.

In the secret laboratory, Xiao Yu commenced the planned research of the "Death Melody."

Soon, the first experimental subject successfully activated the Berserk state appeared.

It was the old friend, Hu Dazhi, who had been released from prison!

"Sss~" "Roar~"

Watching the "monster" chained to the iron chair,

Apart from me, Xiao Yu, Cheng Biao, Ah Xing, and a few other core members all had looks of disbelief.

"The ’madman disease’... it really exists?!"

"Hurry up, we don’t have much time left!"

There was no time for sentiment, we immediately started a comprehensive dissection experiment on this valuable experimental subject and recorded the whole process.

For the first time, I had the opportunity to directly study a living "madman"!

"Blood tests indeed show a high concentration of the virus! It’s... it’s a variant of the X virus!" Xiao Yu exclaimed.

The culprit was quickly found!

"How is this possible? I had previously experimented with the Death Melody on it alone, and did not find anything abnormal," I said, puzzled.

Under Xiao Yu’s relentless research, on the third day after the experiment began, the truth finally came to light!

"It’s our brains! The Infrasound of the Death Melody causes our brains to release a special chemical substance!"

"I found this unusual chemical substance in the cerebrospinal fluid of the experimental subject’s brain that I had never seen before.

After isolating it and mixing it with the X virus variant, I immediately observed astonishing changes.

Upon contact with this special chemical substance, certain recessive gene segments of the virus were activated, showing a strong aggressiveness very different from before.

This aggressiveness was especially targeted at the human nervous system!"

"Why does this happen?"

"Medically speaking, when you listen to music you like, the brain pituitary secretes dopamine, which makes you feel pleasure, forget pain, and displeasure.

So the first time you listen to a piece of music and find it enjoyable, your body secretes dopamine, and the next time, you’ll want to listen to it again. This is what’s called the ’reward mechanism.’

The reward mechanism strengthens or weakens with repeated stimulation, which is why sometimes you can get tired of something after listening too much."

"The Death Melody makes use of this principle, releasing a special chemical substance that even we humans have not yet discovered through a specific sound wave frequency.

And it’s this chemical substance that directly activates the virus!"

"I see! So the combination of the human brain, the Death Melody, and the virus are all necessary conditions for the real activation of the ’madman disease’?"

"Correct! I found an extremely high concentration of the virus in the cerebrospinal fluid of the experimental subject’s brain, almost four to five times that in the blood.

This indicates that the brain is the major target of the virus.

This mode of viral invasion is very similar to rabies.

I had once researched the genetic map of the X virus and found that some segments were indeed very similar to certain genes of rabies.

But initially, the X virus did not exhibit characteristics similar to rabies until it was ’activated’..."

"So after the virus was activated, it gained the trait of infecting others through biting?"

"Correct! However, the specific traits of this virus, and how it invades the brain to cause human berserkness, require further analysis. We are short on time and understaffed.

Under the best conditions, I need about half a month to proceed with further analysis!"

"You probably... don’t have that much time left..."

"Who!?"

Xiao Yu and I turned to the masked man who had barged into the lab in shock.

"Guards!"

"Hehe! No need to shout. Did you think that by hiding in a bunker, you could rest easy?

The guards you’ve placed in plain sight are nothing more than glaringly obvious targets.

Such a confined space holds no secret from me, and your defensive measures might as well be non-existent to me."

"You... how did you do it?!"

"Haha! How I did it doesn’t matter. What’s important is... why do you have our score in your hands?"

"Ha! It’s exactly like the uncle said, not even the lines changed..."
