Several other people also came over. Dr. Sang flipped through the paper, found some recognizable handwriting, and continued to translate:
"The 90th record."
"Extracted parts: blood, tissue stem cells, spinal cord cells."
"Transplanted test subjects: No. 14, No. 49, No. 183."
"Experimental results: Transplant No. 14 failed, the subject went berserk, and the experiment failed; Operation No. 49 was successful, and the subject is currently in good condition, with no rejection reaction. The body has begun to strengthen, accompanied by albinism. The subject is under continuous observation and awaiting further experiments."
"No. 183, the tissue transplant was successful, but rejection occurred three days later. No. 183 had blood rot. Three days later, the hematopoietic stem cells were extensively damaged. Experiment No. 183 died of excessive blood loss."
Dr. Sang's deep voice was like that of a professional announcer and host, reading out all the contents of the article.
Closing the notebook, the man slowly placed it on the broken computer console and said, "Found it. What is stored here is the key that allows scientists to believe that humans can complete the evolution of species."
"They call it 'mother embryo.'
"According to the records here, those experimenters should be extracting tissue from the embryo and integrating it into human test subjects for experimentation."
The bearded man looked at the broken glass wall and said in a heavy voice: "The glass wall is broken. Did the embryo escape?"
Dr. Sang: "Maybe. It doesn't look like it's part of the experiment plan. Either the embryo destroyed itself and escaped, or someone destroyed it from outside."
The bearded man looked at the huge glass container curiously. "What on earth was put inside it that made those researchers at the top of the IQ pyramid believe that humans can evolve? I'm actually a little curious. The laboratory is damaged, and the instruments are also damaged. Did the experiment fail?"
Baili Xin and Dr. Sang looked at each other, and Baili Xin said something creepy in a calm and gentle voice, "Don't you think that the aliens now and the humans enhanced by this experiment are similar in nature?"
The bearded men suddenly looked at Baili Xin. They all widened their eyes and looked at the huge glass container in shock.
The bald man frowned: "Just a coincidence?"
"The end of the world has suddenly arrived. It is natural for humans to seek higher powers to resist the infected zombies. Although this is inhumane, sacrifice is indispensable for the whole human race."
"They are artificially transforming humans, or in other words, creating a new species. Judging from the appearance of this laboratory, they must have failed. This is of course explainable. A mere mortal who wants to replace God and become the creator must be punished by God."
"But the aliens are different, right? We were judged as aliens from birth. This is the result of the natural differentiation of humans. It is a gift from the Emperor to us humans to resist zombies."
"How can these two be the same? They are both enhancements, but you are just talking nonsense here."
Baili Xin did not rush to refute, but just pointed to a string of numbers on the cover of the record sheet.
"April s3010."
"If I remember correctly, the nuclear power plant exploded in February s3011, and the infection virus first appeared in December s3011. It was not until February s3012 that the zombie virus appeared on a large scale."
"If this experiment was for them to resist zombies, how could they have predicted the nuclear power plant explosion and even the emergence of the zombie virus before the zombies appeared?"
"The timeline is problematic. Don't you find it strange?"
"They are scientific researchers, not God's family."
Everyone looked at the year on the cover and fell into deep thought for a moment.
"Did Country R deliberately conceal the time when the zombies appeared from the world?" The long-haired alien pondered, "Is it possible that the zombies had already appeared before the nuclear power plant exploded?"
The young alien glanced at the glassware: "If you want to say that, you might as well just guess that this experiment led to the appearance of zombies. Maybe during the experiment, it went beyond their control, causing the test subject to run away, and the mother embryo to escape, and finally caused an irreversible tragedy. If you want to look at the timeline, my answer is more logical, right?"
As the young alien finished speaking, everyone's eyes turned to him.
He was stunned for a moment, then wrinkled his nose nervously, "Fuck, why are you looking at me like that? I'm just making a bold guess."
The bearded man took a deep breath and said solemnly, "I just think your speculation is very reasonable. I can't find any flaws at the moment."
The third brother: "Forget it, it's too late to say anything now, let's hurry up, this place always feels gloomy to me, let's finish it quickly and leave."
The long-haired alien smiled and said, "What's the wind blowing today? It makes you feel so gloomy. I've finally opened my eyes. I never saw you being scared when you broke into the zombie stronghold alone before."
The third brother waved his hands with a tense face, "That's different. Well, I can't really describe the feeling anyway. I just feel a little creepy."
The bearded man grabbed the notebook and stuffed it into his backpack, saying sternly, "Alright, we can study the origin of species when we get back to the Ark. The third brother is right, stop dilly-dallying, and get on with it."
After the captain spoke, the others stopped arguing and switched to battle preparation mode in a second like a trained warrior.
Although they entered here at first under the order of Dr. Sang, they also found something wrong after entering. Even if Dr. Sang is not here now, they plan to investigate here before leaving.
Several people left the room and continued walking along the lighted corridor.
There are no longer these glassware in front, but instead a row of hospital beds and operating tables.
One of the operating rooms successfully overlapped with the laboratory in Baili Xin's mind.
On some of the beds, there were still dried corpses or skeletons lying.
Several people pushed open the door of the ward and walked in, carefully examining the remaining remains.
The person lying on the bed is a shriveled corpse with aged and dark skin. The hard skin is tightly attached to the bones, and he is fixed to the bed.
Yes, it is fixed.
Its body was draped with several weathered and deteriorated belts and chains. There were obvious scratches on the bed, and debris from the wooden bed was found among its dry, wet and yellowed nails.
The mummy's eyes, which had shrunk due to weathering, were wide open with an expression of great pain.
The young alien took a deep breath and said through his gas mask: "Isn't this guy starving to death from being tied up here?"
The bearded man took out a long knife from his waist, cut the belt easily, and turned the mummy over with a little force. Behind the man, four protruding bones protruded from the butterfly bones. The bones were very small and could not be seen from the front.
It looks very much like the fleshy wings of a bat.
Bearded Man: "Judging from his expression and body posture, he should have been alive when he was imprisoned here."
"This abandoned laboratory is full of test subjects left behind, but the test personnel have not seen any. It seems that an emergency situation must have occurred that year, and those researchers evacuated quickly and had no time to take care of these test subjects."
Looking at the mummy with a painful expression on the bed, the bearded man sighed and picked up a piece of cloth from the bedside to completely cover the mummy's face. After doing this, he looked at everyone and said, "Let's go, keep going."
When the door was about to be closed, Baili Xin seemed to have noticed something and suddenly stopped. He looked back vigilantly, and there was nothing else in the dim and dilapidated room except the corpse covered with white cloth.
"What's wrong?" the young alien asked, "Are you scared?"
Baili Xin looked away suspiciously and shook his head: "No, I seemed to feel a pair of eyes looking at us just now."
The young alien quickly comforted him, "It should be an illusion. I sometimes have this illusion when I am in a dark and unfamiliar environment. Don't worry, Baili Xin. I will definitely protect you."
Naya stretched out a hand nervously, "If you are really scared, just hold my hand, it will be much better."
Baili Xin looked at the hand that Naya stretched out and was about to refuse, but the other broad and slender arm forcefully squeezed between the two of them, grabbed Baili Xin's wrist and walked forward.
The man dragged Baili Xin forward with an expressionless face. The gas mask managed to hide the man's somewhat jealous and sour expression.
The man turned his head and looked at Naya coldly, "You still need to use your hands to protect us, so I'll lead him. It's mission time now. Forget your primary responsibility, Mr. Warrior."
Naya stared blankly at the two men walking away, then scratched his head embarrassedly when he heard the man's words, and quickly followed.
He trotted all the way and caught up with Baili Xin in a few seconds. He stood next to Baili Xin and explained guiltily, "It's not that I don't want to protect you. I was just too worried when I saw how scared you were just now. Baili Xin, you don't think I'm the kind of person who forgets my mission when I meet a good-looking boy and takes advantage of you for personal gain, right?"
·Using public power for personal gain·Taking advantage·Lecher·Dr. Sang: “…”
How about you just tell me my ID number
Baili Xin smiled awkwardly: "..."
Should I nod or not

Boss Dengtuzi: Hey, who are you scolding
The boss fell silent for a moment.
The wrist I hold in my hand no longer smells good.
It probably still smells good, but it's a bit embarrassing.
I'm warning you, little Naija, such a precise strike is too much.
______________________________________________
As the few of them continued to move forward, Baili Xin once again felt the feeling of being watched.
At the same time, a white line passed through his mind, and some sound suddenly squeezed into his mind.
-come over.
—Come over here.
—It hurts, help me.
—Come and help me quickly.
Baili Xin was stunned for a moment, and asked Dr. Sang beside him: "Did you hear any sound?"
Dr. Sang was still feeling aggrieved. He shook his head and replied in a somewhat embarrassed manner, "No."
Are you asking about shameful introspection? No.
As soon as he finished speaking, Baili Xin heard the sound again.
This time it was no longer vague in my mind, but much clearer.
-You heard me, right
—Come here, come quickly.
—Please, give me some relief.
Baili Xin tried to communicate with this strange brain waves cautiously: Who are you
After getting a response, the voice became more excited.
—What am I? I am... I am... I forget.
A bold idea flashed through Baili Xin's mind, and he asked hesitantly: Are you a player
At this question, the sound became completely excited.
—Player? Haha, player? You ask me this, you are also a player, right? !
—Oh my god, I actually see the same kind of people in my lifetime.
-Very good.
Baili Xin confirmed again: Say some words that only a few players know, I want to confirm your identity.
—Item cards, game halls, dungeons, systems, escape games, points, performance points... What else do you want to know
Baili Xin's eyes were shining: Enough, where are you
—You just keep going forward and turn left when you reach the end. The third ward is where I am. Come here quickly and kill me.
Baili Xin paused for a second, fearing that he had heard wrongly: What? Kill you
-Yes, kill me, and you will know why when you see me like this.
—I’m out of strength, come here quickly.
By the end of the voice, the volume had gradually approached zero, and there was no strength left in the voice.
The last two words "come here" disappeared from the air in an instant.
Baili Xin glanced at Dr. Sang, and the next second he took the initiative and pulled the other party, striding past everyone else towards the location that Yin said.
Dr. Sang looked down at his hand held by the Lord, and his bad mood immediately disappeared.
The members of the team didn't know what was going on, so they quickly followed. From a distance, they saw Baili Xin stop in front of a locked room, and kicked it hard. With a loud "bang", the entire ward was kicked open.
Everyone: “…”
Naya: “…”
Very fierce.
Dr. Sang: “…”
so cute.
After kicking the door open, they saw Baili Xin and Dr. Sang standing outside the door in a daze, not going in.
A few curious people came forward and were stunned after seeing the scene clearly.
The not-so-narrow ward was crawling with all kinds of yellow substances. The material of those things looked no different from skin, and they were tangled together in a dense mass.
If anything, it's like the tangled roots of a banyan tree.
Many things were growing in these tendons, and in the cold darkness, those things flashed with pleasant light from time to time.
The bald head shone towards the flashing areas. When they saw clearly what was on the surface, the crowd cried out in surprise: "Fuck, crystal cores."
No one knew what the bars were made of. They were crowded together in the room, even moving rhythmically.
—Bang.
—Bang.
—Bang.
If you listen carefully, you may even hear something like a heartbeat.
The crystal cores on the branches are densely packed, but the quality is not very high. Most of them are black, and the best color is only blue.
Somewhat weird, and somewhat disgusting.
Seeing this weird scene in front of him, the long-haired alien held onto the wall and retched, and said with some difficulty: "Crystal core, how come it grows a tree? Aren't crystal cores unique to zombies?"
The bearded man looked at Baili Xin with a complicated expression: "Why did you suddenly rush over here? Do you know something?"
Baili Xin kept searching among these densely packed tendons, as if looking for something. While searching for the location of the voice that was calling for help, he explained, "I am a psychic, so I can sense other people's mental powers better than ordinary people. I came here because I heard the call for help. He is in this room."
Bearded man: "Help? Are you saying there are still people alive here?"
Years of combat experience made them look inside with caution. The bearded man glanced at the young alien, and Naya instantly understood what he meant and tentatively launched a telekinetic attack towards the inside.
The twisted tendons that had no known origin were instantly blown into a ball shape, and bright red blood and flesh spurted out instantly, shooting in all directions.
Seeing this, Naya quickly used his magic, and an invisible barrier instantly opened up, blocking all the flesh and blood. From a distance, it looked as if all the flesh and blood were suspended on a transparent glass.
A painful scream suddenly rang out in Baili Xin's mind. At the same time, the rhythmic tendons suddenly twisted wildly like crazy.
Countless muscles quickly grew from the broken parts, but in an instant, the circular gap that was blown out by Naya was filled again.
Baili Xin covered his temples and finally stopped searching.
He looked at the strange creature in front of him with complicated eyes, and said with a tremor in his voice: "Found it."
"I think he is everywhere we look."
Everyone: “…”
__________________________________________________
Studio.
Everywhere I look, I see him... Ah, so the person who asked God Xin for help became like this
When the young alien exploded just now, what came out was blood and flesh. Fuck, fuck, fuck, no way, so the tendons in this room all grew out of that person's body
And what came out of the dough was a crystal core, a crystal core unique to zombies. What the hell are these guys doing biological experiments on
To be honest, I was not scared when I saw the monsters or the zombies, but I was scared when I saw this scene. I was not scared of its hideous appearance, but what was hidden behind it. This was too scary.
I understand what you mean.
So, why did the crystal cores possessed by zombies appear here? How did zombies come into being? I was in doubt.
Could it be that zombies were created by this laboratory going out of control
grass.
____________________________________________
With the explosion, the originally unconscious zombies were awakened.
It shrank its neck in fear at first, but when it saw the dazzling array of crystal cores hanging inside, it didn't show any excitement, but instead screamed in fear and backed away. The zombie shrank to the corner, and in the end even banged its head against the wall, behaving in a very crazy and weird way.
Looking at the zombies' strange behavior and the horrifying scene in the room, Baili Xin blurted out three words in a low voice: "Petri dish."
Everyone's eyes fell on Baili Xin.
Baili Xin pointed at the zombie that hit the wall and explained the whole story. After listening to it, everyone stood there in shock, looking at each other with complicated and tangled expressions.
What is being cultured in a petri dish? Is it a crystal nucleus
When they entered the laboratory, they expected to make surprising discoveries, but they never thought that these discoveries would overturn their previous cognition.
The long-haired alien swallowed his saliva and looked at the bearded man dully: "Boss, what should we do now?"
The bearded man, who was always decisive and resolute, was also a little dazed. He stood there, even a little at a loss as to what to do.
At this moment, a foot stepped into the ward.
The shoes made a strange "squeaking" sound as they stepped on the sticky blood and minced meat. The bearded man subconsciously blurted out to the frail-looking young man: "What are you doing?"
The young man just looked at him calmly and explained, "This voice asked me to save him. I think among these tangled things, there should still be his original existence."
Having said that, Baili Xin ignored the attempts of others to stop him and strode over to the group of tendons that were squeezed like a ball of hair.
The bearded man wanted to rush forward, but was stopped by Dr. Sang. Dr. Sang held the bearded man back with one arm and looked at the young man calmly, "Let him look for it. The sound was only asking him for help. Maybe he has some special skills."
Since Dr. Sang said so, the bearded man no longer worried about anything.
He literally took a few steps back, in effect indicating that he was not going to move forward.
Baili Xin observed the tangled tendons for a moment, and finally grabbed two tendons and pulled them apart from the middle.
The scream was nearby. Even if it was only transmitted to his mind through brain waves, he was still able to vaguely locate the location of the sound.
But in the blink of an eye, he had drilled into the tendons and his body completely disappeared in the dense mass.
Several people looked at them worriedly, but Dr. Sang, who seemed the calmest, had his fists secretly hidden in his sleeves clenched tightly.
If he hadn't opened his spiritual realm to confirm that it was safe inside and that the life had no intention of harming Baili Xin, how could he have let him in so confidently.
But even though he knew this was safe, he still fell into deep worry.
There is no danger, but why is the worry out of control
Emotion and rationality are constantly competing in the brain, constantly attacking each other.
Just when my emotions were about to burst, those jumping tendons suddenly trembled at the same time, and swayed everywhere like seaweed in the sea.
The crystal cores hanging on the branches swayed continuously due to the trembling, and finally fell to the ground with a "crackling" sound.
When the crystal core fell, everyone discovered that the tendons in front of them seemed to be shrinking at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, a slender white arm suddenly stretched out through layers of tendons.
Before anyone could react, a figure rushed over.
Dr. Sang, who is usually calm, grabbed Baili Xin's hand and pulled him out of the pile of things with one force.
The young man rushed out by inertia and threw himself directly into the man's arms.
And in the other hand of the young man, he was holding something.
It’s a bit rude to say “thing”, it should be people.
Although only the head of the "person" now exists, its human structure can still be barely recognized.
In Baili Xin's hand was a ball of flesh with a head still on it.
There are dense and fine round protrusions around the meat ball. At first glance, it looks like it is covered with octopus suction cups. The cuts of the protrusions are very smooth, and some places are oozing with blood, which seems to have just been cut.
The bizarre shape shows how much pain this person has endured.
"That person" opened his eyes with difficulty, looked up at Baili Xin, and said with difficulty: "No."
"My genes have been completely transformed. Growth hormone has become one with me. As long as I am alive, my body will begin to grow uncontrollably. As long as I live, I will be food for people. Killing me is the only way to help me."
The bearded man looked at the abundant crystal cores. Although he didn't want to admit it, he still nodded: "He is right. If he doesn't take them back to the Ark, it will only harm him."
"When the people in the Ark saw that he was able to grow a crystal core, they would definitely treat him like a cash cow. Then there would be no difference between his Ark and this place."
When the man heard the sound, he turned his eyes to look at the bearded man. His eyes were like the zombie's, mostly white, but there was a black spot in the middle of his eyes.
The man nodded. "I think you must have a lot of questions. As a reward for saving me, I am willing to tell you everything I know."
"I don't know how many years have passed, so I'll just talk about the years I know."
"In s3009, I was captured and brought to this laboratory. I became the first experimental material. Many people were captured together with me."
The man glanced at Baili Xin and said, "There are many of our kind in there."
Player.
Baili Xin's eyes were dark, and the man continued, "Those people come from several countries. The purpose of their research is to secretly develop biological weapons."
"They are very confident that they can complete this experiment. According to their own description, they have captured a powerful alien creature."
"That creature doesn't look like it's from Blue Planet. It's powerful and terrifying, but its genes are very close to humans, almost 9999. This creature won't die no matter how you attack it, and its cells are very active, so its combat power is off the charts."
"In the eyes of those researchers, it takes into account human genes and corrects human flaws. It is the most perfect work of the Creator."
"It was those researchers who began to extract various tissue cells from this organism, and through cultivation and fusion experiments, began very inhumane biological experiments."
"Of course, it's still under the guise of biological evolution."
"But they still underestimated the horror of that creature. After continuous experiments, those researchers did achieve some results and created a force that was compatible with humans. But the disaster it brought was something they were unable to bear."
The man closed his eyes in pain. "The power I was given is regeneration. I am like a cancer cell, I can keep multiplying and growing. After they saw that my fusion was successful, they began to use my body as a culture dish and began to cultivate this power in large quantities. The final transformation of this power is those crystal nuclei."
Even with the gas masks on, the bearded men could not hide their pale faces.
The power of regeneration does exist among the aliens, and they have also seen it among zombies.
They looked at each other with flickering eyes, shock flashing deep in their eyes.
Could it be that the appearance of zombies and aliens is related to this experiment
What the man said next answered everyone's doubts.
The man continued, "That day, I was locked in the ward."
He suddenly looked around the ward and said self-deprecatingly, "It's called a ward, but it's actually a breeding ground for abnormalities."
"Then I heard an explosion outside, and then the alarm sounded, and all the researchers evacuated quickly and hastily."
"Several medical staff passed by my room, and I vaguely heard words like 'escape', 'virus spread', and 'irreversible'."
The bearded man asked anxiously, "Did the nuclear power plant explode?"
The man nodded. "I don't know if it was a coincidence or a coincidence, but the explosion at the nuclear power plant caused a brief circuit interruption in this basement laboratory. The embryo woke up from its coma, smashed the glass container in anger, and escaped."
"Fortunately, those researchers were lucky. When the nuclear power plant exploded, they were worried about being exposed to nuclear radiation and had already evacuated quickly."
“For a long time afterwards, no one set foot here.”
"Some test subjects escaped through the gap, some fled into the jungle, and some fled into the sea. As for me, I have become a petri dish. I want to leave but cannot. I want to go but can only live. Those imperfect genes were exposed to other organisms and the influence of radiation, and eventually mutated, which became the current zombie virus."
Baili Xin looked at the man: "What happened next? Did anyone come?"
The man looked disappointed. “Yes, but when those people came back, this place was already deserted and many people were dead. Even if I was still alive, they didn’t notice me because of my appearance and thought I was dead.”
"I listened to them talking about the outside world, listening to them talking about the coming of the end, and listening to them repenting but not repenting and continuing their research. I could have spoken at the time, but I didn't want to make a sound. If they knew of my existence, I would definitely be subjected to endless experiments."
"Those people hastily packed up some experimental data and left. From what they said, it seems that they have found a new laboratory and are preparing to start new experimental research."
The bearded man's heads were buzzing, and his voice was shaking uncontrollably: "Are you saying that the zombie virus is actually man-made?"
"damn it!"
He punched the ground hard, and the ground suddenly sank into a deep pit. "The coming and going of people and beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers that I expected actually appeared easily in my world?"
"Just because of those arrogant and unscrupulous biological experiments, we are now hiding like rats?"
"I'm fucked, fuck!"
Baili Xin looked down at the man's panting expression and frowned slightly.
He didn't know what to say.
He wanted to save the man, but the strange gene had already completely transformed his body. Just as he said, as long as he lived one more day, he would survive in that way.
The merman heart didn't help him at all, and he wasn't even like the other zombies.
His genes were completely modified, and even if the antidote was injected, he would not return to his original human form.
As if he noticed Baili Xin's hesitation, the man smiled calmly and said, "Listen, how can you save me? Killing me is the biggest help to me."
"You should be able to see what is the best option for me, right?"
Baili Xin pursed his lips tightly, looked at the man and asked in a low voice: "Is there anything I can do for you? Like, help you pass on a message. Your family or friends in real life."
The man hesitated for two seconds, and his eyes suddenly became eager, "If possible, go see my girlfriend for me!"
"When I entered the gaming industry, I was supposed to be getting married soon. But I had no money at the time, and I wanted to save face and was afraid of being looked down upon. I completely ignored my girlfriend's concern and was only thinking about how to make money."
"It was because of my greed that I was dragged into that crappy game. If I had listened to my girlfriend and accepted reality honestly, I wouldn't have encountered such a thing."
"I regret it, but there is no regret anymore."
"I remember the system said that once we are together, everything about us will disappear from the real world." The man suddenly chuckled, "Actually, that's good too. At least my girlfriend will forget me and have a new beginning. She won't be angry about my affairs every day."
"I just feel regretful," the man's eyes gradually showed loneliness, "If I knew that day was the last time we met, I would definitely not quarrel with her. I would hug her and kiss her."
Baili Xinyin slowed down: "Do you remember her name and where she lives? Do you want to give her a message or something? What's your name?"
The man smiled bitterly: "No need to bring a message, just help me check on her and tell me if she is doing well, bring me some paper money, and that's all."
"My name is He Yilian, and she lives in the Hutongli Community on Xingfu Road in M City, D Province. She is very beautiful, her name is Su Wei, and she opened a milk tea shop. The name of the milk tea shop is named after both of us, called Weiyi Milk Tea."
"If you're willing to help me, and help me see if she's doing well, buy a cup of her homemade grass jelly from her shop and give it to me."
After telling his last wish, the man finally breathed a sigh of relief, "A crystal core has been implanted in my brain. Taking it out will completely free me."
"sorry to bother you."
The other people were completely confused as to what game or task this was. Only Dr. Sang stared at Baili Xin with his dark eyes that were extremely deep.
