When the genetic information of Naga was continuously released, the zero gene sequence automatically appeared vacant, waiting for the addition of new genes. At this time, under the full-speed operation of the brain, it took only 2 seconds to come up with the best several evolutionary plans. With his eyes closed, Zero browsed through the proposals in the world of consciousness. Most of these plans are to fuse Naga's genes to cause mutations in certain parts of the body.
For example, let the bones of the whole body evolve into the lamination structure of Naga, so that the density of the bones is increased by an order of magnitude, and the gaps between the laminations are filled and connected with a substance similar to bone glue, so that the bones of zero The pressure resistance has been greatly improved; another example is the evolution of independent biological cells, which can transform cells into life that can act alone. This kind of life is a one-time item. Their shape is roughly similar to the magic insects produced in Naga's body, but they are not aggressive, but they can perform penetrating detective behavior; The eye organ, which has the functions of detection, tracking and locking.
In general, all evolution is based on the genetic information of the Naga. The evolution plan after screening not only uses the most powerful ability in the Naga gene, but also combines the conditions of Zero itself to obtain the best direction of evolution. But in this way, it means that Zero will completely bid farewell to the identity of human beings. After all, such evolution is irreversible, whether it is the change of bones or the formation of new organs, it is permanent.
Zero not only asked himself, can he still be considered a human being after choosing such an evolution
Among these schemes, however, there was another one that caught Zero's attention.
This plan is to suggest that Zero store genes such as Naga as an independent genome. Once this genome is called, Zero's body will change to a certain extent. But after you stop using it, it will be restored. This is very close to the ability users in the mutation domain, except that the ability users in the mutation domain can only choose a specific series of life genes, while the independent genome can theoretically use different life forms without restriction as long as conditions permit.
Of course, it's practically impossible.
First of all, to form an independent genome, Zero must use evolution points to generate an independent storage area in his own gene sequence. Each storage area must consume 100 evolution points, and each time a storage area is added, the evolution point is increased by 1.5 times. This is already a terrifying number. Based on three independent storage areas, zero would consume 475 evolution points. Evolution points are such a precious existence, and who can afford to use hundreds of points at will.
Second, there are not many lives worth converting it into an independent genome. And it is even more difficult to obtain their complete genetic information. It is very rare for Zero to obtain the genetic information of Naga, if it is not for destroying the wisdom center of Naga in the body at that time, and Zero is extremely close. Otherwise, if the incomplete version of the planetary weapon was killed outside the body, Zero would have noticed that Naga would separate a meat scrap carrier containing all of his genetic information from his wisdom center when it collapsed.
However, converting all information into an independent genome can avoid zero permanent mutation, but when switching to a corresponding life form, all abilities will inevitably be weakened. However, Zero still chose this plan. Although the abilities displayed by the independent genome are proportionally weakened, compared to the above several plans that tend to evolve in a specific direction, the independent genome will retain the more comprehensive ability of life.
More importantly, Zero didn't want to come into the eyes of others as a monster.
After Zero chose an independent genome with his own will, he first consumed 100 evolution points to evolve an independent storage area in the gene sequence. The genetic information following the Naga entered this independent storage area in a mysterious way, and made corresponding adjustments. The storage area is not only in the zero gene sequence, but also independent from the outside, just like a plug-in. When there is no need, as long as the plug-in is activated, the corresponding effect can be obtained.
From the creation of the storage area to the storage and adjustment of the Naga gene information, it took a total of nearly an hour. When he opened his eyes, Beyonce was looking at him curiously.
"What's wrong? Is there something dirty on my face?" Zero asked in doubt.
Beyoncé shook her head and said, "There's nothing dirty, but what did you do just now. I was sleeping soundly, and suddenly I felt your body temperature rising. So I woke up, and then I saw all the muscles in your body twitch. It's shaking, like there are a lot of worms in it, I'm really afraid that something will happen to you."
As she spoke, concern was evident. Zero felt a burst of warmth in his heart, and couldn't help reaching out to pat Beyoncé's head and said, "I'm fine."
Beyonce pretended to be angry and took off Zero's hand and said, "Don't pat my head, I'm not a child."
After finishing speaking, she bit the edge of Zero's palm hard again. Of course, this sip only left a faint mark on Zero's hand. Zero laughed, stood up and said, "I'll show you something, but you have to keep it a secret for me. You know, I prefer to keep a low profile."
Beyoncé looked at Zero, who was barely dressed, and asked curiously, "What do you want me to see?"
She suddenly thought of something, blushed and said, "You can't be..."
Seeing that her gaze fell on his [file] crotch, Ling immediately said angrily, "Where are you going?"
Shaking his head, Zero activated the newly formed independent genome. Immediately, off-white diamond-shaped cuticles continuously appeared on the surface of Zero's body. They quickly covered 99% of Zero's body, almost only leaving out Zero's eyes. Then, one eyeball is generated in the horny layer of Zero's chest and shoulders to provide Zero with a multi-directional perspective.
There are also black bones formed on the chest, back, shoulders, forearms and legs. They wrap these parts of the body, and the surface of the bones even has fine lines, as if they are bones in some kind of organism, exuding a gloomy atmosphere.
At this time, the bone on the back of the forearm of Zero's hands continued to proliferate and bulge, and three small holes were opened at the front end. After that, sharp and ferocious sharp bony spurs emerged from Zero's oval-shaped shoulder armor, the sides of the back, and the stomach of the knees. After this final change, Zero's image exudes violence and blood.
Naga exoskeleton outfit, complete!
"This... this is?" Beyoncé looked at Zero who was born out of nowhere with a pair of biological armor in surprise. She even reached out to touch the sharp bony spurs on Zero's body, accidentally scratching her fingers.
Zero gently sucked the injured finger for Beyonce, and said softly: "This is my secret weapon. Through the use of independent genome, I can use some powerful life force. You see now It is the image of the monster behind the armor that was raging in the city of Bedes at that time."
When Zero completed all the changes in the body, the brain also gave all the information of the Naga's independent genome. Among them, the exoskeleton dressing takes 2.3 seconds. Its gray cuticle is biological armor that channels and diffuses impacts of an energetic nature. The hardness of the black bone stomach is equivalent to alloy armor, and its function is naturally a defense against physical shocks.
This is the defense system of the exoskeleton armor, followed by the three eyes. In addition to providing zero multi-directional viewing angles, they also have an additional wave energy detection function. With zero as the origin, it can detect the environmental structure within a radius of one kilometer. The last is the weapon system, which is mainly the biological bone spur gun on the back of the zero hand. It can launch three 10cm-long sharp bone spurs at the same time, and has the splashing effect of the Naga bone spurs exploding after hitting the target. But in terms of power, it is much smaller than the Naga. The only advantage is that it can fire quickly, which can achieve the effect of intensive strikes without intervals.
In general, the independent genome is to enhance the user's ability in all aspects. But the added effect is naturally not as great as a single-direction permanent evolution. But for Zero, he didn't want to turn himself into a monster until he got tired of living as a human being. Even if that kind of life is stronger than the current body.
After explaining briefly to Beyoncé what an independent genome is, Zero began to use the exoskeleton to wear three eyeballs to detect the wave energy of the current environment. With an idea, the three eyeballs began to turn in different directions. At the same time, bursts of invisible oscillating detection waves spread out in a fan shape, and where they passed, there was almost no substance that could block their penetration. At the same time, the oscillating wave energy will construct the passing geographical environment in the form of a three-dimensional model in Zero's consciousness.
Soon, Zero discovered that there was a regular passage on the rock wall about 100 meters above him. There are as many as five of them within the range he can detect. Judging from the three-dimensional model, these passages extend obliquely to the ground, and they connect some square spaces. Zero was surprised. Both the passage and the space are very orderly and neat. It cannot be formed naturally, but excavated manually.
So behind this mountain wall, is there a building like an underground base
If there is an underground base, then there will naturally be an exit to the surface. No matter how you looked at it, it was much easier than climbing up the crack from the ground. When Zero turned around to tell Beyoncé the good news, he found that the water level of the Dihe River seemed to have risen a little. Originally, the shoal where they were located was about ten square meters, and it was also two meters away from the water's edge.
But now, the ground where they stood was less than five square meters, and the groundwater even rushed to Beyoncé's feet. The water level was still rising, and in a few seconds it was below Beyoncé's heels. A series of bubbles floated in the water, and the bubbles continued to spread towards the two of them.
Suddenly, a black shadow bounced out of the water and rushed towards Beyoncé's pink back. Zero suddenly pulled Beyoncé over, and shot three bone spurs with his right hand bone gun, hitting the shadow in the middle. The black shadow was a piranha-like creature, but it was the size of a pug and had six legs. The head is huge, the mouth has sharp teeth, and a row of white teeth are jagged. It is not difficult to imagine that the bite force of this strange fish may be able to bite off a person's hands and feet abruptly.
The bone spur hit the strange fish accurately, and suddenly exploded after Qi Gen disappeared. The strange fish was immediately smashed by the bone fragments that exploded inside its body, and a dozen sharp bone fragments popped out from the surface of its body. The strange fish immediately fell to the ground, fluttered a few times and then became silent. Its body was still on the shallows, and Zero kicked it down. I saw more bubbles rising from the place where the strange fish fell into the water, and then the ground water seemed to be boiling. Countless mutated fish rushed to gather and ate up the corpses of the same kind in an instant.
After eating the corpses of the same kind, the strange fishes still bit each other. For a while, the river was stained with blood, but there were no corpses, because once bitten to death, the corpse would be eaten by the same kind soon. Zero frowned at these super piranhas that appeared out of nowhere, and only vaguely guessed that they should be related to the rise of the water level. At this time, many strange fish have discovered the existence of Zero and Beyonce, so a hundred of these super piranhas swam over the river first.
Ling asked Beyoncé to lean as close to the rock wall as possible, while firing bone guns with both hands. Bone spurs shot away one by one, forming two gray torrents, killing the fish swimming close to the shoal with their bellies turned upside down. Zero has to say that the power of the bone gun is not bad. It not only has the characteristics of super high-speed shooting, but also has explosive performance, which further improves the lethality.
Under the torrent of bone spurs strafing back and forth, in less than a minute, nearly a hundred strange fish turned their bodies over in the water. But the situation is not optimistic. The corpses and blood stains of the strange fish not only attract others of the same kind to gather. Moreover, with the continuous rise of the water level, it is now almost to zero knees. When the water level completely submerged them, let alone Beyoncé in the water, even zero was no match for these overlords in the water.
From a distance, almost the entire river is boiling. According to a rough estimate, there are thousands of super piranhas in this river. Quantity and quality are always relative, if there are only a thousand or so strange fish like this, it's okay. But when the number multiplied several times, or even more, Zero would have to die under the sharp teeth of these strange fish.
He raised his head, glanced above the rock wall, and after firing another round into the water, Ling retreated to Beyoncé and said, "We have to get out of here. Get on my back quickly, we have to climb up!"
With one thought, Zero retracted the bone spurs on the exoskeleton armor. Beyoncé didn't ask much, and quickly stuck it on Zero's back. Zero grabbed the rock wall with both hands. The rock wall, which was considered hard before, was caught by Zero now, but Zero's five fingers, which were as muddy as sand, penetrated deep into the rock formation. This is not a change in the rock structure, but that the power of Zero has become greater than before.
Zero can feel that when a certain part of his body exerts force, the diamond-shaped cuticle of that part will shrink. Make the arrangement of the cuticle more compact, and provide zero greater strength. From this, Zero learned that Naga's exoskeleton clothing was not as simple as the data provided to him by the brain. It should have other abilities and functions waiting for Zero to discover, otherwise it will lose the value of the hundreds of evolutionary points consumed by the Naga gene carrier and storage area.
In this way, Zero continued to climb up the rock wall like a big gecko with Beyonce on his back. The water level below was no higher than their previous waist height, and in the water, more and more strange fish gathered at their feet. The strange fish opened and closed its sharp teeth, as if waiting for the two to fall down and have a good meal.
It's a pity that Zero has already found the entrance of one of the regular passages detected before. This passage is almost as tall as a person, and it's dark inside and it doesn't know where it leads. But at this moment, Ling Ke didn't care much, and went into the passage with Beyoncé on his back. On a relatively flat spot by the entrance, Zero put Beyoncé down. Just wanted to know that Beyoncé's passage was sloping downwards, but the Patriarch, who was relieved, sat on the ground and slanted his body, then suddenly slid into the darkness below.
"Biss!" Zero yelled, and Dangji slid down the passage along with the darkness.
The voices of the two continued to echo along the channel, so somewhere in the darkness, a pair of eyes suddenly opened!
