Apocalypse Rules Countermeasure Research Office.
"We now have a general understanding of the hidden content of Rule Six."
At the meeting, a researcher summarized.
"Based on reports submitted yesterday by relevant departments in major cities, every city has seen people who were infected with the virus but did not burst into blood. After being infected for some time, these people also gained the ability to distinguish virus carriers within a certain range."
"For the time being, this group will be called 'Blood Plague Adaptables.'"
Everyone nodded. The name was fitting. These people were not immune to the virus—their bodies had adapted to it, and they had gained a special ability to identify others.
"And there has been another major discovery. Some regions drew blood from Blood Plague Adaptables, separated the serum with centrifuges, and injected it into infected people. The red blotches on the infected quickly faded. This means that the Adaptables' serum can cure those infected with the Blood Plague."
After the researcher finished speaking, the office fell silent.
After a while, someone said, "If this news is made fully public, these Blood Plague Adaptables may face enormous danger."
"Yeah. Everyone would want their serum."
"Can't medical professionals research and analyze their serum, then try to make a vaccine?"
"I'm afraid it won't be that easy." A medical expert shook his head. "Developing a vaccine normally takes years. Even if we concentrate all our resources to shorten the process and everything goes smoothly, it will still take several months. By then, even if we succeed, this round of Rules will have ended long ago."
"And judging from the data reported by various regions, Blood Plague Adaptables are extremely rare. Their overall proportion may be one in a hundred thousand... Only one appears among a hundred thousand infected people. There
