Chapter 174 Strange Stone
While waiting, Team Zhao asked, "Xiao Lu, has your immune system evolved?"
Lu Fang did not hide it and said in a somewhat uncertain tone: "It should be."
Team Zhao's eyes were very strange, and he looked at Lu Fang and said, "Can you be an all-round evolver, right?"
Lu Fang touched the back of his head and said, "I don't know either."
Director Wang said: "It is not necessarily a good thing for an all-round evolver. Every part of the body needs to consume a lot of resources, and there are bottlenecks. In terms of overall evolutionary advancement speed, it is not as good as an evolver with a single ability."
Lu Fang nodded, he naturally understood this principle.
After chatting for a while, the property owner has arrived.
The one who rushed over was a young security guard in his thirties. In the face of the police's request, the property management could not refuse.
Soon, the electric well door was opened, and the stone inside immediately came into view.
The black piece is almost as big as a bowl.
Except for the security guard, the other three were all experts in reconnaissance, and they could see the abnormalities at a glance.
"Sure enough, there is a problem!"
"It should be no more than a month."
"Young man, do you know who put this stone here?" Director Wang looked at the security guard.
The security guard said helplessly: "I don't know this."
"Who keeps your keys?"
The security guard said for granted: "It's just hanging it on the wall of the property office, and everyone in the company can take it when it needs to be used."
Director Wang pinched his temples and had a headache.
"It seems that we can only check the surveillance." Team Zhao said, "Xiao Lu, please inform the team and let them see the surveillance of this community and determine who has opened the electric well on this floor recently."
Lu Fang said: "Okay! However, Team Zhao, the electric well is connected up and down, and the passage is very large enough to accommodate this stone through. So, if this thing is put in by someone, it may not be the hand downstairs."
"That's true." Team Zhao responded, "You call to arrange it first!"
Lu Fang nodded, picked up his cell phone and dialed the duty phone number on the team.
After some simple communication, Lu Fang hung up the arc.
After a quiet moment, he observed the stone lying quietly in the electric well for a while and asked leisurely: "Director Wang, Team Zhao... Do you think this stone really has something to do with the deaths of those people?"
"We can't draw a conclusion." Director Wang said with a cautious look on his face.
Lu Fang said: "I didn't say that I just came to a conclusion. Isn't this idle? I just discuss and discuss."
Director Wang said: "I am not an evolutionist and I really don't know much about this. But I think if everything you said just now is true, then the suspiciousness of this stone will be very high. Didn't the epidemic prevention department say that the evolution of the virus was detected before? Could it be that the evolution of this virus is related to this stone?"
"This possibility is very high." Team Zhao said immediately, "Evolution, to put it bluntly, is also a kind of mutation. If this stone has strong radiation, the possibility of mutation will be very high. In this way, it is completely reasonable to say that the deaths of these people are related to this stone."
Director Wang said: "Old Zhao, it is not necessarily that radiation causes evolution. Maybe these viruses were brought by this stone? The stone itself can create an environment suitable for the survival of this virus, which can explain why only people within this range will die, while people in other places have nothing to do."
Lu Fang stood aside blankly, but his heart was full of admiration.
They are all amazing people! He originally wanted to guide him, but the two of them were almost at the right time.
Just now, Lu Fang discovered something that surprised him extremely.
On his system interface, the last digit of the evolution factor value secretly increased by 1 number.
This is something that has never happened before.
At first, Lu Fang wondered if he had inhaled too much virus, which carried evolutionary factors.
But after thinking about it carefully, I denied this possibility.
The reason is very simple. It takes a system to absorb evolutionary factors from other organisms by yourself.
Every time, the system prompts whether to absorb it, and choose to absorb it yourself to successfully obtain the evolutionary factors in the target organism.
But just now, everything was quiet and nothing happened.
Then there is only one possibility, the increase in 0.001 point evolution factor increases naturally.
But I have been an evolutionist for a month or two, and the evolutionary factors have never increased naturally. Why has it grown now?
It can't be through the accumulation of this month or two, but it just broke through to the 0.001 point that the system can display at this time, right?
Rather than believing that this is true, Lu Fang would rather believe that the 0.001 evolutionary factor has other origins, such as the stone in front of him.
Thinking of this, Lu Fang stared at the stone, his eyes became more intense.
Or...touch?
After all, Lu Fang curbed this crazy idea.
Some things cannot be touched randomly!
Things are prone to happen.
Moreover, his intuition told him that even if he touched this thing himself, it might not be useful.
This was not what he guessed, but had a certain basis.
According to the theory, evolutionary factors should be everywhere in the world, but the concentration is not too high.
But so far, except when I contacted evolutionists or evolutionary organisms, the system would prompt me to absorb evolutionary factors, and I have never seen the system react at any time.
It can be seen from this that the system has some bias towards evolutionary factors that are free from nature...
Not long after, another car parked outside the unit building, and a group of well-dressed people rushed in.
As soon as the leader approached, he saw Lu Fang at first glance, and his eyes were full of light.
"Ah, Xiao Lu is here too?"
As soon as the voice came out, all three of them recognized the person.
It is Deputy Director Lai of the Second Biological Research Institute of the City.
Lu Fang felt in his heart that this greasy uncle was willing to kill others, but a smile still squeezed out on his face.
"Lai, long time no see!"
"yes……"
Before he could continue talking, Director Wang next to him could not help but cough and said, "Director Lai, this is the stone I mentioned to you on the phone just now. You can study it."
"Ah... OK! No problem." Director Lai seemed to recall the mission of this trip and focused on the dark stone in the electric well.
Director Lai squatted down and looked at the stone carefully.
After a while, he frowned.
"This thing...is a bit weird." Director Lai murmured.
"Why?" Director Wang asked curiously. He didn't think it was strange except that he felt that there was something wrong with the stone appearing here.
Director Lai continued: "This is not like any kind of rock known on the earth at present."
"What?" Director Wang and Team Zhao couldn't help but exclaim.
If you accidentally get the first case in the world, anyone will be surprised.
Lu Fang was quite calm.
If this thing is really related to evolutionary factors, it will be normal for it to appear seriously in front of human researchers for the first time.
"Give me a magnifying glass."
As soon as Director Lai finished speaking, an assistant immediately handed over a magnifying glass.
He had another meticulous observation.
After a while, his expression became more and more serious: "It's really special. I've never seen it before...how did you find this thing?"
As soon as he said that, his expression suddenly moved and said, "I heard that more than 20 people died in this community before. Could it be... it has something to do with this?"
Director Wang said: "Director Lai, we really can't answer your question, and we can't grasp it, so we informed you that we came here. But one thing can be told that the more than 20 people who died were indeed several residents closest to this stone."
As he said that, he looked at Lu Fang and said, "Xiao Lu, tell me about the general situation to Director Lai."
Lu Fangyingnuo then told the situation he had, but he just concealed the matter about his system.
After listening to Lu Fang’s story, Director Lai couldn’t help but stand up, and the solemn expression on his face became a little darker.
"This... is probably a major discovery." Director Lai looked back at the stone, "Xiao Chen, go and take the sealed box over to prevent radiation."
The assistant next to him responded simply and walked out quickly.
Soon, he walked in with a box, and his staggering pace showed that the box was of great weight.
Lu Fang quickly stepped forward and put the box in front of the electric well, and opened the box.
Then, Professor Lai personally took the knife, picked up a tool like a long-handled pliers, and clamped the dark stone into the box.
When the box was sealed, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, as if a huge rock on their chest had been taken away.
"Director Wang, thank you for providing us with this news. When we go back, we will immediately start researching this thing. Once there is a result, we will inform you immediately."
"Then I'll trouble Director Lai."
"Where do you think!" Director Lai smiled boldly and said, "As a scientific researcher, I wish I could do more research like this."
After a few simple polite words, Director Lai left with his men.
The stone was taken away, but it is still unclear whether the problem here is completely solved. It is necessary to defend it or not. At least, you have to wait until Director Lai has a clear answer before making a decision.
"Xiao Lu, let's go back first! I guess there can't be any new clues here for the time being. I'd better wait for Director Lai and others to come to the conclusion." Captain Zhao said.
Lu Fang hesitated for a moment and said, "Captain Zhao, I want to see it again."
Team Zhao didn't persuade him much and said, "That's OK! You decide for yourself. Don't worry about monitoring the matter. When there are clues, I'll let them notify you."
"Thank you, Team Zhao."
"Why are you doing this so polite?" Team Zhao grinned.
