"So, what is this so-called proliferation solution?" Fengxuan put out the cigar he was smoking and asked the tailor.
The tailor now knew everything he knew and couldn't stop talking. He knew very well that the group of anti-cross lunatics in front of him were the only hope to solve the pollution disaster. Nowadays, Star County is falling into a full-scale war, and the situation in Atlantic City is complicated. It will wait until the people from the Freedom Front or the Empire take full control. When you live in this city, it’s too late to go back and fix the pollution problem.
Besides, there are so many mutated creatures raging in this city. It is impossible to stabilize the pollution situation in a state of war. No one can really control Atlantic City. This leads to a vicious cycle. The more chaotic the situation becomes, the less people are willing to take the initiative to solve the problem of mutated creatures. Each party is afraid that others will take advantage of it or profit from it, so the stalemate continues day after day.
If this continues, the pollution will spread and gradually turn into an intercontinental disaster, and may even threaten the survival of the human species on the earth.
It's just that others don't know the seriousness of the situation, but it's impossible for the tailor, a senior member of evolution, not to know. When he learned that the Blood Owls and his gang were interested in solving the pollution problem, it was inevitable and helpless that he would choose to temporarily cooperate with this resistance organization. Objectively speaking, his "greed for life and fear of death" only accounted for 30%, and The sense of mission as a human being accounts for 70%.
"Some people among us call it 'God's Fertilizer', or... 'Monster Proliferation Drink'." The tailor replied.
Zuo Dao sneered: "Okay. Listening to the name, I think this kind of thing is very problematic."
The tailor continued: "If ordinary people drink the original proliferation solution, it is likely to cause the drinker to die on the spot. E-cell parasites are also taking risks by using the original solution, and the survival rate is around 73."
"Then you dare to drink too?" Jeff finally interjected at this time. Today was also the first time he heard that there was a secret organization like evolution under the empire. Classmate Jeff, who has been popular since he was a child, receives publicity from various mainstream media in the empire every day. He goes to work peacefully, provides a house and a car, and his wife divorces him and marries a nobleman who is thirty years older than him. , Jeff only regarded it as luck.
This is such a person, who originally believed quite confidently that the pollution in the city was caused by the guerrillas dropping biological and chemical weapons. Unexpectedly, the source of the contamination actually came from the empire's secret department.
Jeff's experience this day has completely overturned his worldview. First, his father showed symptoms of infection, then he was hunted by invisible mutant creatures, and then he fell into the hands of a group of evil gods. They also captured a prisoner who looked like Frankenstein. The inhuman prisoner actually claimed to be a senior member of some kind of evolution, and told so many horrifying truths one after another. It took a lot of thinking for Jeff just to accept the setting of "inheriting the genes of a dead person", and when he heard that the other party would drink a drug that has a 30% chance of dying after drinking it, it was almost instinctive The ground blurted out.
The tailor has not yet answered. Zuo Dao first interjected: "Nonsense, he just said that people with e-cells may not die even if their heads are cut off. What can happen to them if they drink some chemical preparations? At worst, they will explode after drinking it. , the people from the organization will help them collect the bodies. Then use genetic technology to make a new body."
The tailor said: "You can also say that it is precisely because the E-cell parasites can still be saved even if they have side effects after drinking. The original proliferation solution is regarded as the most extreme weapon and is retained."
"Hmph... To put it bluntly, it is a formula that has been developed with great pains. It would be a pity if it was defined as a 'failure', right?" The blood owl commented with a cold snort: "Mediocre people with insufficient ability are just doing this. For things like this, they often try their best to make a failed product, but they refuse to admit failure. Instead, they leave the garbage they created like a treasure and say nonsense like 'it's just a little flawed'."
"It sounds like you know a few people like this?" Gambling Snake understood the disgust in the other person's words.
"Ah, the professor I studied under in college also had several 'genius scientists' who claimed to be their seniors." The blood owl made a quotation mark gesture with the index and middle fingers of both hands to show his ridicule: "These losers and I had some 'academic' disputes."
Fengxian lit another cigar, but the pressure in his heart was still high: "Let me guess..." He blew out the cigarette and sighed: "So you took them to visit your 'private laboratory'?"
The blood owl glanced at him, with his usual evil smile on his lips; "That is the best way to resolve academic disputes."
"Why do I suddenly feel that Doctor Shi is in danger..." Zuo Dao looked at the ceiling thoughtfully.
"Stranger is different. Those mediocre people can't even compare to one thousandth of the evil doctors." The blood owl actually gave Lao Shi a very high evaluation: "If it weren't for his bad luck and his poor luck, If he sticks to morality, this person can become a prince on his own." He turned to the tailor and said: "It's a bit far-fetched, let's continue to listen to him talk about the functions of the original liquid."
The tailor responded: "Proliferation stock solution is generally used as the last trump card for e-cell users in critical situations. If we have to face very powerful opponents during field missions, it is possible to carry a certain dose of proliferation stock solution as Be prepared to inject yourself if you are cornered."
"I understand..." Gambling Snake continued: "You must have used that one in the battle against Cao Shuo a few months ago."
The tailor asked in shock: "How did you know about that operation?" The answer that immediately popped into his mind at this moment was that Inverse Cross and Xing Tian secretly colluded...
"We have our own ways to obtain intelligence." Gambling Snake's answer would not give anyone any clues: "The embarrassing performance of evolution and factory ended in the annihilation of the entire army. Cao Shuo used his own power to He defeated you with his strength. Although he relied on Dou Shen Liquor, your performance was really pathetic. You can't even fight against the opponent. It seems that there is only one monster..."
In fact, Gambling Snake is not very clear about this matter. The reverse cross obtained information about this incident through some written reports from the empire. The factory's modified people can report back during the battle or even after they die. Some information about the battle, and the fact that the tailor also participated in that operation and became the only survivor, brings back many valuable facts. The empire's analysis of intelligence is also relatively good. It saves the reverse cross a lot of trouble.
The tailor didn't know how much information about that battle the snake had grasped. He replied: "Since you know so much, I will tell you straight away. In that operation, the one who became a 'monster' was the one with me. A researcher at the same level, his e-cells were inherited from a title called 'Bone Nail'. But... he shouldn't have turned into a monster, that was what happened when the proliferation solution did not work properly. "
He pointed to his ribs and continued: "Usually, we install an electronic syringe close to the skin near here, which can be activated at any time during battle.
Once the original solution is injected, proliferation works correctly. Although the e-cell parasite cannot be as strong as the mutant monster, it will still make a qualitative leap. We can achieve a considerable degree of improvement in all aspects of capabilities in a short period of time. But there is another worse situation, which is the situation encountered by bone nails... After the injection, the body mutates as a side effect. "
"What? It turns out that 27 didn't die immediately?" Zuo Dao asked.
The tailor explained: "Of those 27, there is a probability of 12 that the body tissue will die immediately, and the remaining 15 is the probability of mutation. People will still die after the mutation, but during the period before death, the proliferation solution will run wild. It means that the body will transform into a form similar to those of the monsters in the city at the moment, thereby obtaining an almost abnormal increase in strength." His eyes seemed to be recalling everything on the day of the operation, and finally he couldn't help but think in his heart: Humph... Now think about it Think about it, isn't Cao Shuo, the leader of Xingtian, more terrifying than a monster...
"So that's it." Gambling Snake muttered: "The mutated creatures in the city are just ordinary humans infected with pollution sources. If they are ability users or modified people, you can imagine how powerful they will become under the direct influence of the original liquid. "
The tailor nodded in agreement, and continued: "But the mutant creatures in the city did not fend for themselves. They have been in stock for at least a few days... I have said that proliferation liquid is basically fatal to ordinary people if it is used by mutants. The possibility is almost zero, and ordinary people's bodies simply cannot bear this kind of substance.
Therefore, the key lies in the e-cells in Edmund Lee's body... That part of the cell tissue must have come into contact with the proliferation solution for some reason after the guerrillas invaded and combined with it. As a result, a terrifying Creatures are born…
There were hundreds of people in the research institute, but not many escaped. Counting the guerrillas, the monster had eaten at least two hundred living people, and there might even be people with abilities among them.
Its size is already huge. It may stand up like a skyscraper, or it may fill an entire subway line...
That is a piece of meat, not a person, which means that it cannot think like a person or have human intelligence. All it has is biological instinct. Even so, after it was combined with the proliferation solution, it actually began to use its body to secrete pollutants that could infect ordinary humans, and began to pollute the city through the water source. Its behavior was simply like... "
"Reproduction." The blood owl continued: "It has swallowed so many people, so it naturally has human genes. According to your 'turtle shell' theory, as long as it needs it, it can secrete a poison that will not kill humans. The source of infection turns ordinary people into monsters like him and expands its population."
"Many things that humans can never accomplish in the laboratory are as easy as breathing in nature." The tailor replied: "Theoretically, there is no limit to what that creature will do next and what it will become. . Maybe it will develop intelligence within a few months, a few weeks, or even a few days, and become an intelligent creature that thinks differently from humans.
It can adapt to any environment physiologically, and its ability to reproduce... Hehe... I don't even know if the word 'reproduction' is accurate. For it, the 'earth' itself may be an existence of the same level as it. All Other organisms are at a lower level. It infects other species, perhaps just like when we secrete gastric acid after eating food, it cannot be considered a 'reproductive' activity at all.
Soon, all species on the planet will be infected by it. Although it is only humans at the moment, I think it is only a matter of time before it secretes pollutants that infect all living things, even plants.
Its body can be so huge that it covers the planet, and it will send its tentacles deep into the ground. In the process of continuous evolution, its limbs can become heat-resistant, heat-resistant enough to stir magma. At that time, in its eyes, the rest of the creatures on the planet will be just like how we usually view mites, nothing more than insignificant things that are invisible to the naked eye. "
"Let me guess, if it continues to develop, it will gain the ability to survive in space, do work and move in a gravity-free state..." Zuo Dao asked.
"All in all, what we are about to face is probably some kind of creature that has the opportunity to evolve to the level of 'God'." Gambling Snake's cold expression actually showed a smile: "It's strange, I suddenly feel that stopping On the contrary, it is wrong. From a biological point of view, the birth of something like Edmund Lee's mutant cells is much greater than the human species."
Jeff's eyes widened nervously, looking at the crazy expressions in front of him: some were calm, some were relaxed, some were smiling, and some were smoking cigars. In the eyes of this group of lunatics, there is only one thing that cannot be found - a sense of crisis.
"Are you kidding?! Humanity might all be destroyed!" Jeff said loudly, as if he wanted to remind this group of people that you are human beings too!
"Yes, what this man said is the view we should hold. Of course, I think Snake Betting is right. From a superego, objective, non-human perspective, the monster is obviously better than humans. It is more qualified and capable of surviving." The blood owl commented: "But it must be eliminated." He smiled ferociously: "Because we humans are like this...arrogant and selfish. I don't know if there are others in this universe. What kind of intelligent creatures are there, but even 'gods' will be eliminated by us as long as they threaten the survival of mankind." .
