King of Assassins

Chapter 9: Gene mutation

Views:

Zhou Lang's mind was buzzing and he couldn't see Gao Xuan at all, but he could still barely hear what Gao Xuan said.

When he was dying, he just wanted to greet Gao Xuan's eighteen generations of ancestors, but he couldn't utter a word.

Zhou Lang's whole body began to twitch due to the agitation of emotions.

"Hey, don't be in such a hurry to die, say something."

Gao Xuan saw the Thunder Eagle Ring on Zhou Lang's hand again, and he took it off without hesitation, "Since you are dead anyway, you should leave the Thunder Eagle Ring to someone who needs it."

Zhou Lang felt that his Thunder Eagle Ring had been snatched away. He was so angry that he died without even being able to catch his breath.

"You are still so stingy even though you are dead. Look at your lack of ambition."

Gao Xuan drew out the God-Slaying Sword and swung it. Zhou Lang, whose death was grim, turned into a ball of blood light and merged into the God-Slaying Sword.

Zhou Lang was enough to be equal to one and a half Xu Hui. The God-Slaying Sword absorbed Zhou Lang, and the rippling blood-colored light became stronger.

Yun Qingchang asked hesitantly, "Is this resolved?"

The powerful Zhou Lang died so easily that Yun Qingchang found it a bit unrealistic.

"solved."

Gao Xuan put the Thunder Shadow Ring on the ring finger of his left hand. He looked at it with great interest and shook it towards Yun Qingshang: "Thunder Eagle Ring, a black iron grade wonder, can stimulate the speed of lightning bursts. The negative effect is that it will randomly dissipate electric current. It belongs to me."

"Um."

Yun Qingchang didn't care about these things. Gao Xuan could just take whatever he wanted.

Gao Xuan also explained: "It's not that I won't give it to you, your Crimson Heart conflicts with the Thunder Eagle Ring."

Yun Qingchang didn't say anything, and she didn't think she needed to say anything.

"Give me this pistol for self-defense. I don't have long-range attacks, you can understand..."

Gao Xuan weighed the pistol and said, "Kungunir is a high-end sniper rifle series from Xuanwu. This guy is talking nonsense. This is a crossbow series. It has strong penetrating power, but it can't penetrate the Crimson Heart."

Yun Qingchang nodded. She believed in Gao Xuan. Even if the Crimson Heart couldn't stop the bullet, it didn't matter. She was willing to sacrifice everything for Gao Xuan, including her life.

Yun Qingchang was so reasonable that Gao Xuan felt a little embarrassed. He stood up and said, "Zhou Lang has a lot of good stuff. Let's split it up."

Gao Xuan came to Zhou Lang's desk and skillfully entered the password on the virtual light screen: a complex curved pattern and a strange text.

The optical computers at the Beikun base are not equipped with artificial intelligence. Zhou Lang believes that personal biometrics can be easily cracked, so he insists on using very primitive patterns and texts as passwords.

Gao Xuan had spent several years with Zhou Lang in his previous life and became one of his confidants. The Beikun Base was later idle and was managed by him. Therefore, he was particularly familiar with the situation of the Beikun Base.

He knew everything, including the complex password authentication set up by Zhou Lang.

With a beep, a very mechanical voice came from the optical computer: Password authentication passed, opening the safe.

The alloy wall behind Zhou Lang's seat slowly opened, revealing the huge safe space inside.

The alloy wall is one and a half meters thick, with a complex mechanical lock structure. Without the right tools, it is impossible to dismantle it violently.

Gao Xuan waved to Yun Qingchang, "Come and divide the spoils."

Yun Qingchang was stunned for a moment before following Gao Xuan into the safe.

The safe is more than 100 square meters, and the neatly stacked rows of gold bricks are quite eye-catching.

Just this pile of gold bricks is worth about 200 million credit points.

Gao Xuan secretly felt it was a pity that there was no way to take away all the gold bricks, and there was no suitable channel to dispose of them.

The power of the Blood God Society was too great. If a large amount of gold bricks appeared, he and Yun Qingshang would definitely be exposed.

It's not worth it to expose your identity for a little money.

Gao Xuan told himself that these were just dirt and he shouldn't care about them. But he still felt a little pain in his heart. This was gold, the hardest currency in the universe.

Even when trading with other races, gold can be used for settlement.

"We are people who do great things, and there are plenty of opportunities to make a fortune..."

Gao Xuan comforted himself, his eyes falling on the glass incubator beside him.

There were more than a hundred glass test tubes placed inside. These were the Eldar gene potions used for experiments.

The purpose of establishing the Beikun base is to conduct genetic drug experiments.

Due to the special nature of the Eldar genes, the experiment requires large-scale data collection over a long period of time.

However, when the project was halfway through, something went wrong with the project leader Xu Yan, and the entire project could not proceed.

Therefore, there are still a lot of Eldar gene potions left in the safe.

Although humans are able to cross the stars and establish a huge human civilization, their understanding of genes and source power is still superficial.

Population is the greatest wealth—Mr. Zhou.

Entering the interstellar age, the human upper class has come to a deeper understanding of the correctness of this statement.

Artificial intelligence can complete most high-end intellectual work, while robots can complete complex technical work.

In this case, ordinary people seem to have lost their value of existence. However, in the interstellar era, everyone's genes are unique.

Human civilization is made up of billions of complex human individuals, each of which is insignificant when taken individually.

However, only the different genes of countless individuals can form a strong foundation and allow human beings to continue to evolve.

Genetic medicine is a necessary means on the road to human evolution.

It is precisely because of the complexity and uniqueness of human genes that the effects of genetic drugs have always been unstable. The path of genetic mutation for each person is slightly different.

After being injected with the same gene drug, Gao Xuan became more and more handsome, while Yun Qingchang took a different path. This is the difference in their genes.

In fact, there is only about 1% difference in the genes of the two.

Gao Xuan knew why he became more and more handsome. It should be the influence of the six-winged celestial cicada. Both his external form and inner spirit were instinctively evolving towards perfection.

This evolutionary direction is very special, which causes his strength level to improve very slowly. This is also the fundamental reason why he has always ranked at the bottom among all the students.

Yun Qingchang's case was relatively simple, and she was clearly following the path of physical evolution. The Human Alliance had already explored a mature system for this path.

Gao Xuan looked at the incubator for a while, then picked out three green gene potions.

He waved to Yun Qingchang: "Qingchang, come here quickly. This is for you."

Yun Qingchang was looking around the weapons rack, and she was very interested in a heavy sniper rifle on it.

Yun Qingchang came over after hearing Gao Xuan's call: "Is this a genetic medicine?"

Yun Qingchang was quite familiar with this thing because they had been injected with it four times since they were young, and a group of students died after each injection.

The reaction of genetic drugs is very complicated. Once they conflict with human genes and the genes fail to mutate and evolve, the genes will collapse and die completely.

The base's vicious strategy of breeding insects is to use the pressure of death to squeeze out all the potential of the students.

Anyway, population is worthless in this era and can be consumed at will.

Gao Xuan said: "All the genetic drugs here are five-time evolution drugs. It's just that something went wrong with the host above, so the fifth injection was stopped."

After the fifth injection of the gene drug, one third of the remaining dozens of students might die again. This loss was unacceptable to Zhou Lang.

The reasons behind this were very complicated, so Gao Xuan did not explain them to Yun Qingshang.

He said to Yun Qingchang: "These three gene potions will allow you to quickly reach level five."

Gao Xuan added: "Of course, there is a little risk."

With Yun Qingchang's talent, even without the injection of genetic medicine, she can reach level five through practice.

However, without genetic medicine to activate higher genetic sequences, it would be almost impossible for Yun Qingchang to reach level six.

In the Galaxy Era, there were of course some powerful people who defied the heavens. They never used genetic drugs, but relied on source power training to become gold-level strongmen.

However, Yun Qingchang should not have such extraordinary qualifications.

"For ordinary people like us to level up, we should just take drugs..."

Gao Xuan was quite emotional. Although his aptitude for cultivation could be considered first-rate, there was still an incomparable gap between him and the top.

Yun Qingchang thought for a moment and said, "Now is not the right time. There are still many problems that have not been solved at the base."

"I'll take care of it."

Gao Xuan half-forced Yun Qingchang to be injected with the genetic drug, and Yun Qingchang did not resist and let him do it.

After Yun Qingchang was injected with three doses of genetic medicine, her body quickly turned red and her consciousness began to gradually blur.

"Speaking of which, Zhou Lang's collection is really rich. He is simply a treasure boy!"

Gao Xuan helped Yun Qingchang lie down on the ground slowly. He went to the weapon rack and picked up a long sniper rifle. "Look, this is the Kungunir sniper rifle. Really, not every boss can explode with it."

Yun Qingchang's body was getting hotter and hotter. She felt like she was thrown into a furnace and was about to be roasted!

But with Gao Xuan chattering beside her, she felt particularly safe.

Gao Xuan touched Yun Qingchang's fiery forehead, the temperature should have reached 70 degrees. If it were an ordinary person, their brains would have been burned dry.

"Hold on, this is how genetic mutation works..."

Yun Qingchang's consciousness continued to fall towards darkness, and Gao Xuan's voice became farther and farther away and more and more ethereal.

She had only one belief in her heart: "I can't die, I have to hold on, I want to be with 088, I want to protect him..."
