The Walking Dead TWD

Chapter 198 T-Virus

Zhou Nan and his group had a place to hide after entering the prison, but Zhang Rang and his group who tried to rob and kill Boss Li outside the prison were not so lucky.

Because Zhang Rang was afraid of alerting others, he did not tell anyone except his subordinates about his going out this time. The headquarters did not know that Zhang Rang was outside, so there was no intelligence personnel to remind him that a zombie tide would break out here.

Now they have trouble protecting themselves, let alone robbing and killing Boss Li. Seeing the zombies swarming around them, Zhang Rang and his men can only flee in a panic.

Philip, the instigator of this zombie tide, is now hiding in the military camp in Fort Benning.

Through observation, Philip found that these soldiers had no obvious violent tendencies, so he took the initiative to show his strength and usefulness to the soldiers.

At such a critical moment, no one would easily refuse the joining of a combat unit.

In this way, Philip successfully joined this group of soldiers.

Philip also tried to enhance the relationship between the two sides by helping the soldiers perform their missions.

Just this morning, soldiers at Fort Benning received an urgent mission to escort an important item to Raccoon City, northwest of Atlanta.

Raccoon City is located in Colorado in the Midwestern United States.

The journey was very long, about 2200 kilometers, so Philip had the opportunity to take a helicopter and follow the soldiers to the designated location to pick up the mission items.

The purpose is to first take the mission items to Fort Benning, and then fly from Fort Benning to Raccoon City after everything is ready.

After all, the distance is not short and special situations may occur along the way, so it is indeed necessary to make careful preparations in advance.

On the way to pick up the items, Philip keenly discovered that when the helicopter was flying at a low altitude, the noise it made would attract zombies on the ground.

A crazy idea came into Philip's mind.

That is to lead all the zombies in Atlanta to the prison!

Philip will always remember who caused him to fall into this state, and he must take revenge on those people in the prison.

So on the return flight, Philip deliberately had the pilot pass by the prison.

Because it was dark at the time and the prison had nighttime regulations, in order to avoid being as conspicuous as a firefly in the darkness, the lights in the prison had to be turned off at night.

At this moment, only Philip knew that he had deliberately caused the zombie tide, and no one else was aware of it.

Philip only thought of it as an appetizer for the prison.

Philip looked at their mission item again, which was a suitcase with a red and white umbrella icon printed on it.

The icon consists of an octagon, with each side made up of a triangular segment with its corners pointing towards the center, similar to a slice of pizza.

Philip didn't know what was inside. Because the sender was afraid that the contents would be damaged, he wrapped it 360° with elastic foam, making it look very important.

In fact, Philip guessed correctly that the thing inside was indeed very important - it was a tube of extremely precious T virus.

The T virus is also known as the Tyrant virus.

The virus can be traced back to the 19th century.

Henry Travis recorded information about the Stairway to the Sun during his expedition to Africa.

Later, Oswald E. Spencer, Edward Ashford and Dr. James Marcus discovered this magical plant in the remains of the Diya tribe in West Africa.

The raw materials of the T virus mainly include two components: Archaeopteryx and leech genes.

The introduction of leech genes provides the T-virus with powerful mutation ability and adaptability, enabling it to induce significant physiological changes after infecting an organism, enhancing the organism's vitality and combat effectiveness.

The Archaeopteryx is a mysterious plant, and the Archaeopteryx virus was extracted from this plant.

It grows among the remains of the Dubya tribe in West Africa, where the plant is known to the locals as "Stairway to the Sun."

The flowers of the Stairway to the Sun contain viral substances in the form of RNA, which can enhance human abilities and prolong life, but are also highly toxic, causing most users to die on the spot.

It is a sacred object of the Diya tribe and has always been used in the ceremony of selecting tribal leaders. Candidates need to swallow the flowers of the Stairway to the Sun. Only a very few can adapt to its toxicity, and those who survive will become leaders.

These surviving humans all showed extraordinary lifespans, and this discovery made them ecstatic.

Soon, the T virus entered the research stage.

Later, after the T-virus came out, Umbrella Corporation used the T-virus extensively in animal experiments.

This developed animal biological weapon will be secretly supplied to the American military, and the American military will return research funds to Umbrella Corporation.

In this way, the two parties reach a tacit understanding cycle.

The suitcase that Philip saw now was the T virus sample used by Umbrella Corporation for animal experiments.

Logically speaking, the T virus has extraordinary potential.

The T virus can accelerate metabolism. After being injected with the T virus, if the body can withstand it, the physical fitness of the subject will be greatly improved, and it will gain extraordinary strength, speed, endurance and self-healing ability.

At the same time, a very small number of experimental subjects can retain their intelligence, and their bodies can move for a period of time even if their vital organs are severely damaged.

And the most important point is that the T virus has the ability to infect across species. It can not only infect humans, but also animals, plants, etc.

Such as Neptune, Cerberus...

But this group of people from the Umbrella Corporation encountered an opponent, the "Wildfire Virus" that appeared out of nowhere.

The wildfire virus does not originate from the Archaeopteryx, but from space spores, and was created in the biomedical laboratory of La Biomédicine DDMI.

The Wildfire virus was soon released, and compared to the more inert T-virus, the Wildfire virus was more aggressive.

It spread quickly through the air to every corner of the world and made everyone a carrier of the wildfire virus.

The former financial backer turned into a zombie monster, which was a real blow to the people of Umbrella Corporation.

If no one pays for it, then it will be useless even if they create more powerful biological weapons!

Interestingly, some senior executives of Americana believe that Umbrella Corporation is the root cause of all these tragedies.

Therefore, the Umbrella Corporation, which had not done anything wrong, was forced to take full responsibility and was even ordered to disband on the spot.

Before the disaster day, Umbrella Corporation may still be afraid of these politicians and senior officials, but after the disaster day, everyone is busy with their own work. Who cares about what these politicians and senior officials think?

So, just after the disaster day, Umbrella Corporation began to transform rapidly, changing the general direction of animal research to more cruel human experiments!

The T virus in the box in front of Philip is the T virus that was sent from the Umbrella Corporation headquarters in Paris, France, specifically for human experiments.

Although the American government is like a toothless tiger at the moment, this behavior is unwelcome after all.

In order to prevent Raccoon City from being hit by a nuclear attack, they could only conduct human experiments secretly, so they used the inconspicuous Fort Benning soldiers.
