Although Shen Ming had suffered the most brutal and inhumane torture to extract a confession, he did not even frown, but at this moment he was really a little scared. Because his hands and feet and the electromagnetic brake collar around his neck firmly adsorbed him to the metal cross operating table, his posture was like Jesus being crucified on the cross.
The shadowless light in front of his eyes made him dizzy, and the insect master sat on the metal horse harness beside him, using a curved electronic see-through screen to carefully check the condition of Shen Ming's right arm. He looks more like a doctor than a scientist, especially the huge ant lying on his shoulder, wiping the sweat from the corner of his brow with the towel in his mouth.
"The tendons of all the muscles in your right hand are broken, and the broken parts are silky, and the tendons of your fingers are even more broken, which is a permanent irreparable injury." The insect master made a diagnosis like a doctor.
"Can you tell me something I don't know?" Shen Ming sneered.
"This environment is very suitable for the colonization of my 'child'." The insect master smiled, "If the experiment is successful, your right hand can be repaired."
"Then what if it fails?" Shen Ming was not overjoyed, and said in peace.
"It's just death, it's nothing. Anyway, living in this lost paradise is life better than death. Death early will surpass life." The insect master said lightly, dare not let him die.
"What are the chances of success?" Shen Ming tried his best to remain a gentleman and not scold her.
"10%."
"Sounds good, do you have any success stories before?"
"Not once."
"NI, MA, BI! What the hell!" Shen Ming's gentleman energy was exhausted.
"Don't be so pessimistic, I am making progress! I will sum up my experience every time I experiment, and I have basically overcome all the problems that I can control. The remaining high failure rate comes down to two points; first, the mice The physical condition is too low. The experimental human body I used in the past only looks strong, but the heart is not tough enough, and it is not a micro-evolutionary. Its combat effectiveness is low, so it will fail. You are different, your DNA chain is different from ordinary people. We Black Science Research Institute call this microevolution, which is the optimized variation of human DNA codes to adapt to the new environment, and its meaning is like the first ape walking upright, representing the beginning of a new world."
Shen Ming doesn't quite understand how great micro-evolution is, but he can basically be sure that his weird zero body and An Qi's body that changes face in an instant should all be talents derived from it.
"Then what is the second failure factor?" Shen Ming asked curiously, "That's it." The insect master kicked the ground with both feet, and the metal horse with rollers slipped 3 meters away, sending the insect master to a In front of the locker.
He entered the password on the keyboard as if playing a piano, and with a beep, the metal cabinet door opened to both sides, and a large amount of white air-conditioning flowed down from the cabinet like a waterfall. A glass sphere was taken out and placed on the base.
A black worm egg curled up inside the sphere as big as a billiard ball, and it was a species that Shen Ming had never seen before. It always gave people the feeling of a heteromorphic larva.
"It's scientific name 'Experimental Bug No. 48' is the result of my 16 years of research in Paradise Lost, and it was not completed until 5 years ago. I gave it a simpler name, 'Nilin'." The insect master continued It was a mischievous slip on the ground, and quickly returned to the operating table, and put the glass ball that was still steaming on the tool table beside it.
Just as Shen Ming looked at the glass ball suspiciously, the black worm eggs inside suddenly opened its bright red pupils, staring straight back at Shen Ming, and within a few seconds of leaving the freezing environment, it had already begun to wake up , its vigorous vitality can be seen.
"Inverse scale is a new type of man-made life form, with the characteristics of self-proliferation and deformation. When needed, it can secrete a large amount of nano-fluid, forming a shell that is stronger than armor, and can increase the hardness of your bones to the level of super alloys. Let your tendons be stronger than the steel wire of a crane, and let you completely surpass the old understanding of science on human beings!" Insect Master introduced himself and couldn't help but get excited.
"Hey, does that thing have self-awareness?" Shen Ming thought that he got a golden finger, because the eyes of that thing seemed to keep saying, "I'm going to tear you apart!"
"Of course. Although it is a bug, its IQ is not low. If it can go to school, it must be a top student. Hahaha!"
"Ha, sister! This guy is looking at me, his eyes are so fierce, it doesn't want to be parasitic at all, right?" Shen Ming scolded angrily.
"Ni Lin's temper is not very good, and he doesn't like to be disciplined, but the child, if you don't obey, it will be fine. Unfortunately, the current little white mouse has not met anyone who can beat it. Okay, okay , don’t waste time, let’s start the happy surgery!” Master Zong said, picked up the scalpel, and directly cut an incision on Shen Ming’s forearm in front of Shen Ming.
There is no anesthesia or disinfection at all. This is probably the virtue of scientists performing surgery
Shen Ming looked at the worm master, opened the glass ball, clamped the palm-length nipple with iron tongs, and stuffed it into his arm.
Ni Lin, who awakened instantly, grew countless black silk-like tentacles all over his body, winding, tearing, and assimilating along the muscles, bones, blood vessels, and tendons of Shen Ming...
"Ah!!!!!!!" The unprecedented pain made Shen Ming, who would not grunt even if he hit the egg with a hammer, howled like killing a pig.
The right arm, which had long lost its strength, twitched violently, and the electromagnetic braking ring on the wrist was so strong that it almost broke away from the operating table. The whole arm turned black, the nails became as sharp as a devil, and a few openings were torn on the stainless steel operating table, which was as easy as tearing a piece of paper.
Just as the arm was waving to attack Shen Ming, the insect master snapped an iron ring on the junction of Shen Ming's right shoulder and arm in time. The ferocious claws were like a dead toy, and suddenly limp and sucked back onto the operating table.
The frightening blackness has faded away, and miraculously, the unsutured wound on Shen Ming's arm has healed, and the various scars on his arm that were left on the battlefield in the past also disappeared together, turning into a Brand new arms.
"What's going on?" Shen Ming's mind was filled with various question marks.
"Ni Lin seems to hate you very much. I have never seen it resist so fiercely in the first period of colonization. Fortunately, I was prepared. The brake ring on your shoulder will reduce the blood flow to the arm. It is Parasites need to absorb nutrients from your blood. Once the blood flow rate is slowed down, it will prolong the time it takes to mature." The insect master was sweating profusely, and the ants wiped it off for him.
"Will it still grow?"
"At present, it belongs to the larval stage, and then it will directly develop into an adult, which will be awesome." The insect master laughed.
"Not awesome just now?!" The corners of Shen Ming's mouth twitched. You must know that the magic claw completely ignored the restraint of the electromagnetic brake ring in the later stage. Shen Ming tried to break free, and used all his strength to lift up the electromagnetic brake ring 1 mm can't do it. It is estimated that the strength exerted by the arm just now can easily lift at least 2 tons of heavy objects.
After the operation, Shen Ming didn't die immediately. It's not a good thing, because an uninvited insect lived in his arm, and this thing wanted to kill him with killing intent.
Next, the insect master introduced a lot of information about the reverse scale. For example, it can only parasitize in skeletal muscles and local bones, so there will be no possibility of crawling into the head and becoming a monster like "Parasite", and it will not invade Internal organs, giving the host the ability to jump 5 meters high.
The method of its use has only theoretical data, and has never been proved in practice, because... every host that has been parasitized by it has died.
It is like a child in the rebellious period, it hates taking orders from others, and it doesn't want to recognize anyone as the master. And once the host body dies within 7 days, it can degenerate from the adult stage back to the egg shape, and continue to embrace its own freedom, even if that freedom is refrigerated alone.
Shen Ming, whose hands and feet were immobilized, was lifted up again by the giant ants, and directly transferred to a dark room, placed on the ground, the ants went out, and after the three-layer heavy metal gate was lowered, Shen Ming's hands and feet were released again.
The good news is that Shen Ming's right hand, which he thought was useless, can now move again. The nimble touch of the fingertips is no different from that before the injury, and I believe that when using sniping again, it will be able to handle with ease.
As for the bad news, it was the insect master on the electronic screen that lit up in the corner who told him, "Shen Ming, the brake ring on your shoulder can't stop Nilin from maturing, and it will be gone in at most 8 hours from now." It will wake up. It takes a lot of energy to activate the reverse scale, which comes from your individual. The initial human body can support its activities for a short time, about 5 minutes on the first day, and then increase regularly. If If you can survive 7 days, the time your body can withstand the reverse scale state should be close to 15 minutes, and the reverse scale will truly become a part of your body."
When the insect master was speaking, the lights in the room turned on. This is an iron-walled space that is half the size of a basketball court. There are many high-calorie canned foods piled up in the corner, and the walls on both sides are retracted upwards, revealing the In the murderous display of arms, one wall is full of various alloy cold weapons such as axes, hooks and forks. On the other wall, there are heavy machine guns, rocket launchers, landmines, and flamethrowers.
"Listen, this is going to be a tough fight, harder than anything you've ever experienced before, your pain, your struggles will force you to compromise. But you and I both understand what compromise means. You only have two There is no way to overcome it, own it, survive it, or become another victim of it."
When the insect master sighed, the widest wall at the back of the room was retracted, revealing a huge tank of green liquid. In the pool made of alloyed glass with a thickness of 2 meters, there were as many as 99 mutilated corpses floating. Their expressions were frozen at the time of death, the panic at that moment, some had their hearts pierced, some had their necks twisted into twists, and some had nothing left but their heads...
And these are all the hosts that Ni Lin killed in the past, maybe soon, this place will also become Shen Ming's home...
