At noon, Victor made himself a simple hamburger with bread and lunch meat. The clinic has reopened, and Victor's life has returned to the original track, but the clinic seems a little deserted because his wife Kailin is missing.
Kailin's body had already been cremated by Victor, and her ashes were buried in a cemetery facing the sea in Nu Reef City. Master was the only one who came to mourn, but Victor was already surprised. After all, in this era, many people have taken death very lightly, especially those with bloody hands like Master.
Now, Victor has two rings on his hands. One was his own, the other was Kaelin's. Looking at the ring Kailin left for him, he seemed to be able to feel that his wife was accompanying him in another way.
Victor saw zero as he carefully put the last crumbs into his mouth. The heavy locomotive almost rushed over directly, causing the residents on the street to curse angrily. But the bloody smell on Zero kept them from approaching, and when Zero got off the motorcycle, Victor saw that he was still carrying Leah.
"God, he really did it. Victor hurried out of the clinic, but saw that Lia didn't respond, and his heart sank.
Zero hurried into the clinic with Leah on his back, and said to Victor: "Hurry up and save her..."
Before the words fell, Zero's face changed. Following him, he spat out a mouthful of blood mist, and his physical strength seemed to be exhausted in an instant, and Ling fell to the ground. Leah's body also rolled twice, and as for Zero, he was already foaming at the mouth and throbbing non-stop.
Victor didn't care to look at Leah, and hurriedly found Moyou and stuffed it into Zero's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue. Wanting to help Zero up, unexpectedly, when he touched Zero's body, Victor's fingertips felt astonishingly high temperature. Sudden high fever all over the body is not a good thing. In Victor's memory, only after experiencing gene shock or gene collapse, the body will suddenly respond with high heat energy. It's just that Victor doesn't know what kind of situation Zero is in now.
When Zero regained consciousness, it was already two days later.
While in a coma, he had that dream again. Just like the dream of sleeping in the hibernation chamber, the figure of the woman in the dream is always swaying in front of my eyes, but at the end of the dream, there is a figure of Liya covered in blood.
Zero woke up just like that, and what he saw was Victor's messy room, and the halo outside the window that was dyed red by the setting sun.
He jumped off the bed and found that his physical condition was better than ever. Not only has all the injuries healed, but after this battle with Sauron, he has five more evolutionary points in his body. Adding the three evolutionary points obtained before, now Zero has a total of eight evolutionary points.
It is impossible to get so many evolution points just by fighting Sauron, and Ling vaguely guessed that it probably has something to do with the crazy state he entered.
Besides, he also felt that another ability was automatically generated. When he stretched out the tentacles of consciousness to lightly touch this ability, suddenly his palm became hot, and an orange flame rose from his palm. Even though the palm was wrapped in flames, Zero didn't feel hot at all, as if the flames were also a part of his body.
"Hey, when did you start to use the ability of the element domain, or the fire element known for its destructive power." Victor, who came in from the door, said unexpectedly when he saw the flame in Zero's hand. The doctor's face was very strange. Tired, looking like he hasn't slept in days.
Seeing Victor, Zero thought of Leah. He extinguished the flame with a wave of his hand, and asked anxiously, "How is Leah's situation?"
"It's not very good, but you're not much better." Victor asked seriously, "Answer me first, is this the first time you've had genetic shocks?"
"Gene shock?" Zero looked at Victor in confusion.
"No way, you don't know about gene shocks?" Victor grabbed his hair and looked at Zero like a monster.
The so-called gene shock refers to the name of the phenomenon of large-scale movement of genes in organisms. The recombination and arrangement of genes, in this process, they will release extra space, so that the creatures can form special abilities. This is how the supernatural beings came about. It can be said that every supernatural being has undergone the process of genetic shock. After going through this process without causing genetic collapse, a new supernatural person will be born from then on.
After becoming a supernatural person, the genes in the body will basically be fixed. To develop new abilities, it can only be realized by evolution points, but in general, it is impossible for supernatural beings to experience a second shock.
It's just that there are no absolutes in the world, and among supernatural beings and other wild creatures, there will also be secondary or even multiple oscillating individuals. As long as these individuals can't die but survive, then every genetic shock means rebirth for them. Not only will there be a qualitative improvement in various basic abilities, but also new and very powerful abilities will be formed.
However, according to the currently known statistics, no more than 100 individuals have survived the second shock in the world, and the third shock is even rarer.
After Victor's confirmation of the case of zero, it was confirmed that there was a genetic shock. Combined with the fact that Zero himself is already a supernatural being, Victor believes that this is the second genetic shock, but the doctor has never thought about it, and he is stunned by the term Zero.
In fact, this is not a second shock of zero. For him, this is the zero first genetic shock.
The reason why he was able to become a superhuman has nothing to do with the genetic shock, but, as he guessed before, has something to do with this obviously modified body. Some strange things in his body caused him to skip the link of the first shock and directly produce supernatural powers. It wasn't until today that Leah kissed herself, and Ling, whose mind was agitated, unknowingly experienced the first shock.
After Victor explained what genetic shock is, and what secondary or even multiple shocks can bring. After careful perception, he found that, as Victor said, his various basic attributes have improved a lot, and the original abilities have been automatically promoted to the first level, which basically doubled Zero's overall combat power.
But what Zero cares more about is obviously Leah's situation. It's just that, as Victor said, Leah's situation is really bad.
Hans' blood gave Lia the ability to heal herself, and it was this ability that gradually healed the surface of her wound, which was also the basis for Zero's judgment that she could still be saved. However, after Victor's diagnosis, Leah, who was brought back by Zero, was actually dead, but her body was still alive.
This is a very inexplicable phenomenon. Leah's living features are only manifested in the healing and regeneration of skin and flesh, but her internal organs have stopped working. Victor explained that this was the result of incomplete transformation, and now because of the fact that Leah had died, the flesh and blood tissue regenerated from her wound had grown a lot of redundant tissue without conscious control.
The growth rate of these tissues has not slowed down until today, and gradually stopped, that is because the nutrients in Lia's body have been exhausted.
When Ling saw Leah with a mass of tissue on her body through the tempered glass, he was both angry and sad.
"However, it may not be impossible to save her."
"You have a way?" Hearing Victor's words, Zero's eyes lit up.
Victor spread his hands and said: "Listen, this is not 100% successful. But your wife, due to the invasion of some kind of cells, the activity of blood cells in her body is very high. I have extracted three tubes of this Blood, if conditions permit, I can extract enough genetic information from the blood to produce another Leah for you."
"*? You mean *human technology?" Ling Wei was surprised, this was not an unfamiliar word in the old days. But in Zero's limited memory, the medical technology of the old age has not been widely used on humans. Unexpectedly, after the cataclysm, this technology seems to have a tendency to develop.
Victor nodded and said: "That's right, it's a *person. This technology is now very perfect, and many nobles use it to maintain their lives. Although a complete * living body is rare, it is not impossible. .It’s just that I don’t have the necessary equipment here, and of course, it doesn’t look like you have the funds to start the technology.”
Zero took a deep breath and asked, "According to your calculation, how much money will you need in total to carry out this project?"
"It's just that I can't do it alone. At least I need the assistance of experts in human body structure and genetics, plus the purchase of equipment and materials. The most conservative estimate is about 10 million." Victor With a smile, the doctor doesn't think this amount is worth zero.
"What if the equipment and materials are deducted?" Zero asked seriously.
Victor immediately gave an answer: "That would require at least eight million dollars. In fact, the equipment and materials are trivial matters. What we need is more experiments. There should be many failures before Leia is completely released." Goods, these are the goods that eat money."
"I see, how long can the activity of Leah's blood last?"
"Three years, probably." Victor calculated with his fingers.
Three years, at least 8 million funds. Of course, the start-up capital does not need to be so fast, but at least half of the amount should be used as the basic guarantee for the operation of the project. But now, there is less than 10,000 yuan in Zero's *.
Seeing Ling Yifu thinking seriously, Victor frowned and said, "Don't tell me, are you really planning to make such a large sum of money within three years?"
"If there is hope for Kailin to be reborn, I think you will consider all possibilities as seriously as I do."
"Well, I admit it. But how do you get such a large sum of money?"
"I don't know." Zero replied honestly: "However, I think I can find someone to borrow some money first."
"Who would be so generous?" Victor couldn't believe that someone would be willing to borrow such a sum of money.
"That's up to them." Zero asked again: "Do you know how to get information about the Parkland chaebol?"
Victor has also heard about this big company: "I heard that their base camp is in the north, but I think Master will sell the specific information."
Zero nods. The figure of Sauron flashed in his mind.
North? Even if you are on the other side of the world, I will definitely find you!
