During this time, Han Chi stayed in the laboratory all day. He purified the normal living cells in Yan Han’s body and counted them under the microscope. Sure enough, he found that these living cells could not only resist the attack of R virus, but also proliferate and divide continuously.

The R virus was highly parasitic and must rely on host cells to metabolize and reproduce accordingly. If Yan Han had a large number of such living cells in her body, did that mean that she could heal herself?

His experiment had just made progress, but it began to stagnate again in the next few days. He faced the same problems he faced before, and he couldn’t figure out why the R virus could not attack living cells. If he didn’t know the principle, it meant that he couldn’t find the corresponding antibody at all. It was a dream to develop an effective vaccine.     

In order to find Yan Han’s whereabouts, Ji Zhaoyan was so worried that his head was bald. Although the island was not big, it was easy to hide a zombie. He couldn’t search from house to house. It took time and effort, and it would be known to everyone.  

Until one day, he accidentally looked up and saw the camera in the CDC building, and suddenly an idea popped into his mind that maybe he could find Yan Han by checking up on the surveillance cameras.

Although these surveillance cameras weren’t all over the island, it was better than none. With that mentality, Ji Zhaoyan ran to the monitoring room of the Armed Forces Department to have a look. 

And there was a harvest. To be exact, the harvest was not small. He retrieved the surveillance video on May 17, which happened to be the first day when Li Xinyu turned into a zombie and caused panic on the island.

Ji Zhaoyan first saw Han Chi’s figure in the surveillance. Soon after the “5.17 Incident”, Han Chi walked out of the CDC building in a hurry. Then Yan Han suddenly appeared in the surveillance, only to see Yan Han grab Han Chi, accidentally pulling Han Chi out of the surveillance range.     Ji Zhaoyan immediately paused the surveillance video and pressed the back button to go back to the moment when Han Chi left the building, and watched it again carefully. Yan Han seemed to be very familiar with Han Chi. When Han Chi was dragged away by Yan Han, he didn’t seem to show much fright. Did the two of them have a deep friendship?

No, Ji Zhaoyan shook his head. No, if Han Chi and Yan Han had a close relationship, why did he suggest arresting Yan Han as soon as possible at the meeting? He thought for a long time and didn’t understand it. He simply took out the USB flash disk and copied the video away. He took it home and studied it again.

Ji Zhaoyan walked to the CDC while thinking about how to catch Yan Han next. According to the video, Han Chi knew where Yan Han was hiding these days, but Han Chi was so vigilant, how could he talk to him?

Ji Zhaoyan thought about it and came to Han Chi’s laboratory. There was only one Zheng Siqi in the laboratory sitting in front of the ultra-clean stage, and Han Chi was not seen. He walked forward and asked Zheng Siqi, who was busy, “Where is Professor Han?”     

Zheng Siqi looked up at the interrogator and found that it was Ji Zhaoyan, and quickly replied, “Professor Han is in the electron microscope laboratory downstairs. Is there anything wrong? Professor Han is unable to come up for a while. If you are in a hurry, you can go and find him.”  

Ji Zhaoyan smiled and nodded, then said, “There is nothing urgent, but I want to discuss with Professor Han about experimental issues. Now, Professor Han is doing the experiment downstairs, I won’t bother him. I will just go to his office and wait,” then he went to Han Chi’s office next door and closed the door gently.

He stood in Han Chi’s office for a while. Seeing that no one came in, he began to look through Han Chi’s drawer. Han Chi was in a hurry when he left late, so he forgot to unlock the door and the drawer.

Ji Zhaoyan found an experiment report in the bottom drawer. The cover of the report was handwritten “Experiment subject 413Ⅱ”, 413Ⅱ? The CDC didn’t have such an experiment subject number. Ji Zhaoyan looked at the date of the report. They were all experimental records for more than half a month. The report was very detailed, and Ji Zhaoyan was fascinated. There were normal living cells in the body of Subject 413Ⅱ. Han Chi also labeled the genetic material of R virus by isotope labeling method. It was found that there was no labeled genetic material in these living cells, that was although the genetic material of R virus entered these living cells, but it was soon broken down by the antibody in the cell, which was the answer summarized in Han Chi’s experimental report.

Ji Zhaoyan continued to flip through the experimental report. In the next few days, Han Chi tried to find the antibody in living cells through various methods, but he never found it. He breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but Han Chi hadn’t found the antibody yet. The experimental report was as of the actual day. Han Chi wanted to observe the static sections of the R virus at various time points through an electron microscope.     

Ji Zhaoyan collected the experimental record of Subject No. 413Ⅱ and put it back to its original place. At the same time, he found another experimental record in the hidden bottom of the bottom layer. The cover of this experimental record was obviously much older. I only saw the record. The cover said “Experimental subject 413Ⅰ”, 413Ⅰ? The start time of the experiment record was January 17, 2023, early 2023? Wasn’t that the day when these survivors just came to the island? If he remembered correctly, the CDC was only established at that time.     

Where did the 413Ⅰ and 413Ⅱ experiment subjects came from? Why was the time period between Ⅰ and Ⅱ so long?     

The record of test subject 413I was somewhat different from that of test subject 413Ⅱ. There was no R virus in the body of test subject 413I. The report also recorded the specific time when test subject 413I was infected by R virus, which was July 14, 2022. Wasn’t that the time when the zombie virus just broke out? Subject 413I was infected with R virus for 24 hours and returned to normal. Therefore, it was confirmed that there were R virus antibodies in the body of subject 413I.
