Chapter 3 An Qier

Following Nicole into the room, Ye Zhiqiu closed the door casually, feeling his heart pounding, a little excited and nervous, which was a little bit of a feeling of excitement and tension. This feeling is not unfamiliar. Whenever he was about to take a risk, he would have such an experience. But today is different. He still felt a little uneasy, which was an uneasy of worrying about gains and losses. If Isabel knew his feelings, he would definitely point it out to the point that he was having an affair.

That's right, it's just an affair. Although everyone with eyes in the control area knows that Ye Zhiqiu is very terrifying towards Nicole, and even Jill knows this, it's useless to be willing to be brave. Ye Zhiqiu has always been brave, but it's gone when he comes to Nicole. In addition, since he arrives in the control area, Nicole has never shown any intimacy with him, so he naturally has to follow the rules. He doesn't know how much he misses the short warm moment in the town. Although it's not as good as singing with Jill every night now, Nicole is also far away from him at that time, and everything is possible.

Nicole walked into the room, turned on the wall light, poured two glasses of water, turned around and handed it to Ye Zhiqiu, only to realize that he seemed a little strange and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ye Zhiqiu took the cup, drank half a cup in one sip, and said dryly: "It's a bit hot!"

Nicole glanced at him suspiciously, took out a document from the drawer of the desk and handed it to him.

Ye Zhiqiu took it inexplicably and found that it was a handwritten form document, which looked like a medical report. His English level was enough to deal with daily life. It was a bit reluctant to get this kind of professional document, so he looked carefully at the title and asked in confusion: "Angela, who is that?"

"That kid," Nicole nodded and said, "We named her Angela."

Ye Zhiqiu blinked and shook his head and said, "How can such a child call such an old-fashioned name?"

"She will always grow up. And now, we all call her Anqi."

"Okay." Ye Zhiqiu closed the document and handed it back to her: "You asked me to come here to see this?"

Nicole was stunned for a moment, frowned and asked, "So what do you think it's for? I haven't seen this report for anyone else."

"Of course." Ye Zhiqiu said quickly: "Then tell me, you know I'm not sensitive to reports."

Nicole looked at him meaningfully, opened the report, pointed to the text above and said: "Her cell tissue is no different from that of ordinary people, but when she arrived here, the estrogen level in the body was relatively high, and it did not drop to normal until a week ago." (There are some questions here. The two candidate reasons are estrogen and progesterone, but you have to know that I am a engineering subject and I am really incompetent to medical subjects. I only chose estrogen in the hope of giving male compatriots some hope. There is no thing in the body of a man that corresponds to progesterone. So this paragraph has nothing to do with other reasons.)

"What does it mean?" Ye Zhiqiu looked at Nicole in confusion and asked, "Mini puberty?"

"Ah?" This time it was Nicole's turn to understand. She looked up at Ye Zhiqiu: "What does that mean?"

"It's okay, I'll just talk about it." Ye Zhiqiu quickly changed the topic and pointed to the report and asked, "So what?"

"We have been wondering why she can survive in the zombie group." Nicole said with some fear: "Of course, if you didn't bring her back, she would have died even if she was not eaten by the zombies." She said: "Sex hormones have a very important position in the human body. They can promote pituitary function, and the latter controls our entire endocrine system, so I personally suspect that it is estrogen that protects her from being infected."

Ye Zhiqiu was stunned for a while before shook his head and said, "Your statement has no reason. If so, at least most of the survivors should be women, unless we men are false sissies."

"What is a pseudo-girl?" Ye Zhiqiu's English level is not yet high enough to create words at will, and he doesn't know that these anime nouns are translated in the English world, so the word "pseudo-girl" is said in Chinese, so Nicole certainly doesn't understand it.

"Let the Central Propaganda Department take care of it." Ye Zhiqiu felt that it was too stupid. Who knew that Ni was not a fan of Michael Jackson? So he quickly got rid of the topic and asked: "Then why are there no more women in the control area than men? And this is the data after a large number of casualties of men."

"Estrogen does not remain at a high level every moment, that is called estrus." Nicole explained seriously: "For a woman, estrogen will reach its peak in the second week after menstruation and then begin to decline. For your doubts, men also have the same hormone secretion, which is called androgen, also called testosterone. And because there is no interference similar to progesterone, men maintain androgen much longer than women, which is one of the reasons why men are more aggressive."

"Uh." Ye Zhiqiu opened her mouth and drank the water in the cup in one sip, and said with a dry smile: "This is good news."

"Maybe not for you," Nicole said, "If you think about it again, I'll drive you out."

"Okay, okay." Ye Zhiqiu rubbed his face, pulled a chair and sat down, and said, "I'll listen carefully."

Nicole looked at him carefully and confirmed that his testosterone should be maintained in a very normal state (so do you think wrong again? I just wanted to talk about Ye Zhiqiu's aggressiveness level.) Then she spoke: "Combined with the situation you described, I think sex hormones are not the main reason for protecting the human body from infection, or at least not the entire reason, so this child has not mutated, but others have mutated, such as her parents."

"Do you think those two zombies are her parents?" Ye Zhiqiu was shocked. This was too arbitrary. The screenwriter of the domestic TV series knew to make a DNA. This person directly gave the attribution. Even online articles could not be so irresponsible, right?

Nicole shook her head and said, "I can't be sure, but at least they didn't show up. From what you said, at least the tall zombie cares very much about her." She pursed her lips and said, "This is the easiest reason. Do you know the Occam's razor theory? In the unknown situation, we should be biased towards the easiest setting."

"But they mutated."

"That's right." Nicole nodded, "So I said sex hormones are not the whole reason to stop mutation, maybe it's just a trigger. But at least, Angel's parents maintained a certain degree of rationality and wanted to hand her over to us after indicating that they could not raise their baby."

This is exactly the question that Ye Zhiqiu has been puzzled. When he heard this, his doubts in his heart were immediately answered - or in other words, when he put his mind into the right place, he always had enough intelligence to untie the mystery.

"So her father wanted to lead the zombies to attack the control area, and after the failure, he attracted the search team to discover Angel?"

"Yes, but the search team members didn't understand what he meant and shot Angel's mother."

"Then the desperate father attacked the search team members, and then we arrived."

"Yes," Nicole said, "It's incredible, but the only reasonable explanation, there's a reason we don't know yet to protect her parents from being swallowed by primitive desires, which I think are related to the sex hormone levels in their bodies."

As soon as Ye Zhiqiu's distracting thoughts disappeared, his mind suddenly became flexible and he frowned and said, "Why do you have to tell me alone instead of publishing this discovery in front of everyone?"

He raised his head, saw Nicole's bright eyes, and was shocked, and blurted out, "Lily?"
