But this isn't the main point. Setting aside the genetic issue for now, the mass death of the infected isn't unstoppable. With the lesson from W06 Base City, other surviving base cities should have a large stockpile of antitoxins. The fact that the SE virus problem has remained unresolved is illogical. Allowing the virus to survive within the infected is like a ticking time bomb—these vast base cities, there's no way not a single player has found an antitoxin capable of a radical cure.
Since the SE virus weakens with transmission and over time, it's evident that the developers aimed not merely to sever the future of certain base cities. Attaching these effects must serve a corresponding purpose.
Throttling Evolver genes would take at least fifteen years to show results. Contrary to what Teacher Ai said, the SE virus was created with killing in mind—possibly even as its primary purpose.
