"Why?" When Jiang Chen heard this, he couldn't help but ask.
"That's how human beings are. The more they come into contact with others, the less willing they are to endure the loneliness of being alone." Sun Boyi sighed, "No matter how thoroughly you analyze human nature, no matter how indifferent you look at it all... If you are only in your twenties, you will definitely not understand.”
Jiang Chen looked at him with questioning eyes, waiting for his next words.
"In the story, I remember I mentioned that I once saved a businessman."
"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.
"We later became friends, and my clinic was built with his investment." Sun Boyi paused for a moment and sighed, "Not just him, but also the lame hunter, the businessman in the United District, and the woman in the black street bar. The gunmen... I remember their names, even though some of them may have died or gone to settlements far away. However, no matter what, this concern is here. The more people I know, the more I can't let go. Those friends, and life now. I admit that everything here is terrible, but it’s not so hopeless that you can’t live anymore.”
"Is it just because I can't let go of my current relationship?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Don't make it easy." Sun Boyi shrugged, "If you were asked to lie down in a dormant warehouse and go 1,000 years later, would you be willing to leave everything here and go to the future alone?"
Thinking of Sun Jiao, Yao Yao, and those who were loyal to him, Jiang Chen shook his head.
"I kind of understand."
Sun Game nodded.
"Although I decided to stay in this era, I did not leave the shelter immediately. Instead, I used the only quantum computer left in the shelter to restart the experiment."
"What about the samples? Because of your experiment, those samples... those people should have been killed." Jiang Chen asked.
"I'm the sample.
"Sun Boyi looked at Jiang Chen, took out a small bottle from his pocket, and placed it on the table, "And this is the secret of eternal life. "
Jiang Chen's eyes were fixed on the thumb-sized bottle.
The bottle contained a bright red liquid.
"This is… ?"
"You should have heard of hidden genetic codes."
Jiang Chen nodded.
"The hidden DNA code will be expressed in a special form after being injected with genetic medicine. Many mercenaries and gunmen use it as a convenient combat skill. Guess, if it is unlocked to the third level, which is the last level ,What will happened?"
Without giving Jiang Chen time to think about this issue, he tapped his index finger on the small bottle.
"Will become a god."
Because of the serious expression on his face, Jiang Chen held his breath. He said with difficulty after a long time.
"This... is too ridiculous."
But at this moment, Jiang Chen suddenly remembered the man who claimed to be a god.
"If you think it's nonsense, it depends on your definition of God." Sun Boyi said lightly, "Although it is ridiculous for the scientific community to define God, we still have a superficial definition of God for the time being. Can we complete it? Those who can do things that are impossible for humans can be called 'gods'."
For example, Boyu, the leader of the Church of Dusk, used human spiritual power to detonate hundreds of blood crystals, inducing an explosion that was enough to wipe a whole province off the map. Drawing energy from sub-crystals is as easy as breathing and drinking water...
Jiang Chen asked Sun Xiaorou that with the ability of her secondary genetic code, it would be difficult for her to detonate even one blood crystal, let alone hundreds of blood crystals.
Of course, the definition of God is not limited to destructive power.
"What do you mean..." Looking into Dr. Sun's eyes, Jiang Chen vaguely understood what he meant.
"It seems you have guessed it. Yes, we have studied the 'side effects' of genetic agents as early as before the war. Based on mathematical model analysis, we concluded that when a certain genetic code named 'Toughness' is After evolving to level three, you can unlock the ability called 'Eternal Life'."
After a pause, Sun Game continued.
"With current technological means, this ability that is rooted in genes can be transplanted. The only material required is serum."
In a sense, eternal life is indeed a realm that only God can touch. But what is even more surprising is that the ability possessed by this god can actually be transplanted through technical means.
Looking at the bottle on the table, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.
in this case. The little girl in the diary must be Sun Jiao, who was only half a year old at the time. The other "samples" in Vault 71 should be other ordinary people with the same "tough" genetic code.
And what kind of experiment did Dr. Sun conduct that led to the destruction of all samples? Jiang Chen also vaguely guessed something.
Sun Jiao once told him.
In addition to a lot of high-intensity training, the fastest and least technical way to improve the effectiveness of genetic medicines and unlock the next level of genetic codes is to constantly "seek death."
Only by hovering on the edge of life and death can the hidden code hidden in genes be expressed explicitly.
The easiest way. As long as a group of people are thrown into the same "battlefield" to fight, and the person who steps on everyone's blood and survives in the end will most likely be promoted to the realm of "god".
Thinking of this, Jiang Chen looked at Dr. Sun's gentle smile, and felt an inexplicable shudder in his heart.
To be able to conduct such an experiment on companions living in the same shelter, this guy is simply inhuman...
Seeing the look of disgust in Jiang Chen's eyes, Sun Boyi showed an expression of approval, "It's an inhumane experiment, isn't it?"
"Is not it?"
"I'm glad you think so. Letting people who shouldn't be immortal master the secret of immortality would be a disaster for the entire civilization."
"Do you really think so?" Jiang Chen looked at him puzzled.
From his self-narration and the diary of the shelter director, if he were to characterize his personality according to the DND Nine Palaces, Jiang Chen could definitely characterize him as an "absolutely neutral" person. Abandon all weaknesses in human nature, take selfishness and indifference as a matter of course, and your contribution to others is simply not taking the initiative to do evil...
However, his behavior after leaving the shelter for the second time seemed to be a completely different person.
By the way, Jiang Chen thinks that he probably belongs to the "neutral and lawful" category.
Sun Boyi did not directly answer Jiang Chen's words, but said softly, "Human nature is a burden to survival, but if it weren't for this burden, the seeds of civilization would not be able to sprout."
"I always feel like I've heard something similar somewhere."
"I guess he is also an observer." Sun Boyi said with a smile.
Jiang Chen nodded and brought the topic back to genetic codes.
"Have you unlocked level three yet?"
Sun Yi shook his head and said with a smile.
"How can it be."
"Then why do you show no signs of aging in your appearance over the past ten years?" Jiang Chen asked puzzledly.
"Remember the explanation about 'tenacity' in E?"
Jiang Chen thought for a while and recalled Sun Jiao's explanation of his ability in the first place after returning from the sewer.
"Overdraw your vitality and heal non-fatal injuries in a short period of time?"
"That's right." Sun Game nodded approvingly, "If you evolve to the second level, you will unlock new abilities."
"resurrection?"
"This word is not accurate enough," Sun Boyi shook his finger. "In addition to significantly repairing damaged tissue, this ability also modifies DNA telomeres. The macroscopic manifestation is that it greatly enhances vitality. "
"That is to say..."
"Yes, I am only at the second level now. However, even if I unlock the second level, I can still have a lifespan of about five hundred years... as long as I don't use the two abilities of 'Tenacity' and 'Resurrection' repeatedly." Sun Yi Tan He opened his hand and said, "So as a Level 2, all I can give you is a key. As long as the 'tough' ability is transplanted into your body, you will gain the possibility of immortality."
"possibility?"
"That's right," Sun Boyi nodded, "You can only get 'keys' from others, but how many doors you can open depends on yourself."
Jiang Chen turned his attention to Sun Xiaorou.
From her expression, he got an affirmative answer.
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Chen asked.
"If the genetic code is replaced with 'toughness', what will happen to the previous abilities?"
To be honest, he was really reluctant to give up "Crazy" and "Wushuang", two combat skills that were almost cheating.
However, Sun Yi broke his greedy fantasy with a smile.
"Since it is a replacement, the original ability will naturally disappear."
"Finally unlocked the second level." Jiang Chen said with a bitter smile.
"As for the code of 'Tenacity', I have found a shortcut to unlock the second level. You don't need to worry about this."
"Yeah… "
"If you want to replace the genetic code on your body, I can perform this operation for you." As he said that, Sun Boyi gently pushed the bottle to Jiang Chen's hand, "Of course, if you don't trust me, you can also ask me Take away the relevant technology here and find other doctors to do the surgery."
Playing with the serum in his hand, Jiang Chen suddenly asked.
"Can I ask a final question? What abilities will you gain if you evolve 'Madness' to the third level?"
"Crazy transformation... This genetic code appears very frequently, but few people can evolve it to the second level, let alone the third level. It seems that you have evolved it to the second level?" Sun Yi Yi looked at Jiang Chen and asked with interest.
"Yes." Jiang Chen nodded.
"Because there is no precedent, I can't predict what abilities will emerge... But I can assert that it must also be the ability to touch the realm of 'gods'." Sun Game said in a positive tone.
Do we need to replace the ability
Looking at the serum in his hand, Jiang Chen fell into deep thought.
