【Gene mutation-01】

The next day was Wednesday, at 7:00 in the morning, everyone got up on time to wash up, hurry up to go to the cafeteria to have breakfast, and at 7:30, they came to the course selection hall of the School of Biological Sciences on the 4th floor.

Most of the team in the library were still struggling in the School of Architecture on the 3rd floor. They finished all the courses of the School of Architecture on Wednesday and went to the research group on the 4th floor, which is the team with the fastest progress.

There were significantly fewer people in the course selection hall, and Yue Xingwen saw several familiar faces.

Including the a-76 research group of Kyoto University, the team led by senior Yu Mingyu; the team of senior Qin Lang of Binjiang Normal University, and the team led by Chen Muyun of Beijiang University of Political Science and Law, etc.

Jiang Pingce glanced across the audience, whispered into his ear and said, "10 teams, 120 people."

Yue Xingwen nodded: "That is to say, the strongest and fastest teams are all here."

Zhuo Feng took the initiative to go up to say hello: "Ming Yu, you are also coming to the Academy of Biological Sciences today?"

Yu Mingyu said: "Yes, the team has just been formed, and the progress is the same as yours."

Since everyone's progress is the same, there is no strategy for mutual reference. It is the first time to participate in the exam of the Academy of Biological Sciences, and we can only rely on our abilities.

Yue Xingwen took a step forward and said hello to a few familiar classmates. Senior Brother Qin Lang of Normal University said, "The course schedule of the School of Biological Sciences this morning is all about "Gene Variation". We were still discussing it just now. It sounds like a survival class."

Yue Xingwen walked to the bottom of the "Liquid" LCD screen and looked up - the curriculum of the School of Biological Sciences on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 8:00 a.m. all arranged the compulsory course "Gene Variation", with a credit of 6 points; The compulsory course of "Cell Factory" is scheduled at 8:00 am on Thursday, with 4 credits. The afternoons are all elective courses.

Yue Xingwen asked on the research group channel: "Everyone, we finished the "Gene Variation" test this morning, and tomorrow morning "Cell Factory", how about a day off on Friday? I'm afraid there will be a school-wide public election this weekend. It will be tiring."

Jiang Pingce agreed: "The exams will be off in the morning and afternoon on Wednesday and Thursday, and a day off on Friday. This rhythm is acceptable."

Zhuo Feng said: "Agreed. Our progress is already the fastest, so there is no need to worry too much."

Others have also laid down their agreement on the research group channel.

Yue Xingwen came to the tablet computer, pressed the class selection button, and familiar information popped up on the screen——

【Required Course: Gene Variation】

【College: School of Life Sciences】

【Credits: 6】

[Exam room rules: The maximum number of people in the examination room is 12]

[Course description: The Institute of Biological Sciences in City C is conducting a secret experiment. I don’t know when the data in the laboratory was leaked, and the human gene sequence was stolen and tampered with, resulting in a large number of mutants]

[Exam requirements: escape from the impending collapse of city c and arrive at the genetic research center in city f next door]

[Additional question: Protect Professor Tang and the data chip, and escort Professor Tang to the gene center together, +40 points]

[Remarks: The additional questions are not compulsory. This course involves knowledge related to genetic engineering. It is recommended to have teammates from the School of Biological Sciences or related majors in medical genetics]

【Confirm Course Selection: Yes/No】

The long-lost additional question has appeared again, and it is an escort mission?

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce glanced at each other, looked back at their teammates, and whispered: "The 6-credit survival course will definitely be more difficult. After entering the examination room later, everyone should not act rashly and follow orders; We were scattered, and immediately paid attention to the news of the research group channel, Ke Shaobin asked Xiaotu to locate his teammates as quickly as possible."

Ke Shaobin nodded seriously: "Understood."

Yue Xingwen said: "Get ready, I have chosen a course."

He pressed "Confirm Course Selection", and a system prompt rang in everyone's ears at the same time: "The c-183 research group has successfully selected the course "Gene Variation" of the School of Biological Sciences. The exam will start on time at 8:00 in the morning, please prepare..."

Beside, Kyoto University, Binjiang Normal University and other teams also completed the course selection.

Yu Mingyu said loudly: "Come on everyone, I wish you all don't fail the exam."

Qin Lang smiled and said, "I hope to see you here in 2 hours."

Chen Muyun came over to greet Yue Xingwen: "Xingwen, please take care of Senior Sister Lan."

Yue Xingwen said with a smile: "You're welcome, it should be Senior Sister taking care of us."

Lan Yarong walked over and hugged Chen Muyun: "Don't worry, I won't hold back."

Senior Sister Lan is still wearing a light blue dress today, but she has replaced her high heels with sneakers that are easy to move around. Her long brown curly hair is tied behind her head, making her stature even shorter. , just like a middle school student, everyone can't believe that she is 25 years old, she looks more like a 15-year-old girl.

According to the agreement, the twins Qin Miao and Qin "Lu" wore one black and one white sports t-shirts, so that everyone could tell who was the elder sister and the younger sister. Lin Manluo's long hair was also tied in a ponytail behind her head, which looked very neat.

During the exam, even Jiang Pingce, who usually likes to wear leather shoes and shirts, also followed Yue Xingwen in sportswear. just don't know, will they change their clothes after entering the examination room this time?

The countdown started in the upper right corner, and everyone held their breath nervously.

Until the countdown came to "1", the space in front of everyone's eyes was instantly distorted——

Yue Xingwen looked around, and the teammates who were still beside him just disappeared altogether, and he appeared in a strange laboratory, wearing a white coat, with "Researcher Yue Xingwen" written on his left chest.

This room is full of icy equipment, and Yue Xingwen, a liberal arts student, doesn't know these things. He hurriedly typed on the research group channel: "Everyone, report your location and surrounding environment."

Ke Shaobin said: "I should be in an office, there are several computers here."

Jiang Pingce: "In the laboratory, many strange specimens were found."

Zhuo Feng said: "I am with Zhang Xiaonian, this should be the staff dormitory."

Qin Miao typed: "My sister and I are also in the dormitory area, double room."

Zhang Xiaonian quickly reported a series of data: "A rectangular room with a floor height of 2.9 meters, a length of 6 meters and a width of 3 meters, facing south, with windows on the south side. The time is around 8 am? Let's take a look, Are they all the same?"

Lin Manluo said, "Sister Lan's dormitory is the same as Xiaonian said."

Yue Xingwen walked to the window and saw that there was indeed a bright beam of light coming over, and the clock on the wall showed that the time was 8 o'clock. He quickly made a judgment: "Everyone should be in the Institute of Biological Sciences mentioned in the course description, but some people are in the experimental building, and some people are assigned to the dormitory area."

Jiang Pingce asked, "Do you want to do additional questions?"

The test requirement is to escape the city and go to the gene center in the next-door f city. The requirement for the additional question is to escort Professor Tang and the data chip. If they don't do additional questions, they can just run right now.

Yue Xingwen took a deep breath and asked, "What do you think?"

Jiang Pingce said: "The 40-point additional question, multiplied by 6 credits and 1.5 times the subject group bonus, calculates to 360 points, try it."

Ke Shaobin agreed: "I also think that I can try it. The score of 360 is very high."

With such a high score for an additional question, the task of escorting NPCs is definitely not easy, but if you give up directly, everyone is really not reconciled. Seeing that his teammates have no objection, Yue Xingwen makes a decisive decision: "Okay, then do the additional question. , hurry up and find Professor Tang. The people in the dormitory area will meet each other first, and those in the laboratory building should not run around, Master Ke will come to us."

Ke Shaobin summoned a small picture.

Xiaotu has a "find a friend" skill that can locate his teammates when they are separated. He releases the small picture, and the small picture sings "find, find, find friends", and the lights on the forehead light up and the radar detects it everywhere. .

Ke Shaobin's laptop screen soon showed a few blue dots, representing the positions of his teammates.

He opened the door and searched all the way. The nearest laboratory was Liu Zhaoqing and Xu Yishen, and then there were Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce. The innermost laboratory was Xin Yan, and there were only six of them in the laboratory building.

After the six people met, they looked at each other and found that everyone was wearing the white coats of laboratory researchers, with name tags hanging on their chests, and the white coats were the clothes they wore when they entered the examination room.

Yue Xingwen walked up to Jiang Pingce and asked, "Did you find anything in the laboratory just now?"

Jiang Pingce shook his head: "It's all experimental instruments, I don't know them."

Yue Xingwen looked at Ke Shaobin: "What about the other team members?"

Ke Shaobin explained: "Xiaotu can't find the positions of other teammates. They must be more than 500 meters away from here, and they are not within the detection range of Xiaotu."

Yue Xingwen frowned and looked around. The interior of this building is clean and tidy. There is a corridor with laboratories and offices of different functions on both sides. Looking down from the window, the floor they are currently on should be on the third floor.

The distance between other teammates and Xiaotu is more than 500 meters, indicating that the dormitory area is not in this building.

Yue Xingwen thought for a while and said, "Everyone in the dormitory area, don't worry, Senior Brother Zhuo will lead the team. After you meet with Senior Brother Zhuo, look for the exit of the dormitory. I will find the key person Professor Tang first."

Zhuo Feng replied, "Understood, be careful."

Nothing has happened at the moment, and everyone has no clue in their hearts.

Xu Yishen's expression was very relaxed, and he said with a smile: "At least the building of the Academy of Biological Sciences will not collapse, and there is no time limit for the exam. We don't need to panic, take your time."

Liu Zhaoqing suggested, "Do you want to search the laboratory first for clues or something?"

Yue Xingwen also had the same idea: "Let's go, Ke Shao first copy the data from the office computer."

Ke Shaobin's "birth point" just now was the office in the far west of the corridor. He took everyone back to the office, turned on the computer, and found that the computer was empty, and all the data on the hard drive was gone.

Ke Shaobin was stunned: "This...the computer hard drive was formatted and all the data was emptied?"

Yue Xingwen hurriedly opened several computers next to it, and found that all the hard drives for data were empty except for the C drive where the system was installed. He frowned and asked, "Can the data be recovered?"

Ke Shaobin shook his head: "It was handled very cleanly, and it can't be recovered."

Just when everyone was in doubt, Xin Yan suddenly said: "Don't you think this laboratory building is very strange?"

Jiang Pingce said indifferently: "It's really strange, there is no one in the empty space."

Xin Yandao: "There are only a few of us in such a large research institute, what about the other employees?"

A chill appeared on Yue Xingwen's back: "Is this an abandoned research institute? Or, what happened here and the researchers fled collectively?"

Thinking of the first course of the medical school, "Escape from the Laboratory", Liu Zhaoqing's expression suddenly became serious: "This institute of the Academy of Biosciences must be doing gene-related experiments, and the computer hard disk has been processed. It seems that Someone didn't want the experimental data to be found, so they emptied all the data here."

Xu Yishen "touched" his chin and said, "The human genome sequence was leaked, tampered with, and mutants appeared. The course hints are just a few keywords. Is this course similar to "Resident Evil"? The setting? The existence of mutants will impact normal human society?"

Everyone was chatting when a knock on the door suddenly sounded outside. Yue Xingwen was stunned. If Senior Brother Zhuo led the team, he would definitely say hello on the research group channel first. Who will be knocking on the door?

Jiang Pingce raised his right hand slightly, prepared for defense, and gave him a wink.

Only then did Yue Xingwen say, "Please come in."

A gray-haired middle-aged male "sex" pushed open the door of the office. He smiled warmly, glanced at everyone, and said, "Are you the ones sent by the Gene Center to protect me?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Ke Shaobin adjusted his glasses and asked politely, "Who are you?"

The middle-aged man said, "My name is Tang Ran, and I'm the president of this institute."

Yue Xingwen asked tentatively, "Professor Tang?"

The other party nodded and said, "That's right. Time is running out, let's go!"

Yue Xingwen and Jiang Pingce glanced at each other, and they always felt something strange-the additional question asked them to escort Professor Tang. As a result, before they could find each other, this Professor Tang came to the door on his own initiative?
