Chapter 435 Go Home 2
Beyonris, who was still smiling, saw zero hours covered with scars. The smile suddenly stiffened, and the bean-sized tears rolled in his eyes. Naturally, she knew who caused the injury of zero. Suddenly, Beatrice stepped on a body under Zero's feet and flew into his arms to hold Ling tightly.
She didn't say anything, but Zero could feel Beatrice's body trembling. At this moment, all kinds of words are pale.
After a while, Ling patted her pink back and said, "I'm fine, Biss. My injury is not as serious as you think, but it's ugly on the surface.
This is true. After the DNA memory group was accidentally activated by the immortals, although zero does not know how many memory groups have been activated, it is certain that even if it is only one-tenth, they also organize to generate any material to repair the conventional human body of zero. The most terrible biological acid has been exhausted, and now the more serious injury is the left hand that was severely damaged by the raging man.
But now, even this deformed arm is gradually recovering under the repair of the genetic material generated by the memory group. At least the left hand is now aware, which means that the neural network has been restored, followed by the correction of muscle tissue and bones. When the memory group is activated, the most obvious change of zero is that the body recovers much faster than before, and the repair is more perfect and more accurate.
Hearing Ling's words, Beatrice was relieved. The beautiful owner looked at the body under Zero's feet and frowned, "What are you going to do with this?"
"Naturally, it is to invite our great Dr. Corder out."
Zero let Beyonris retreat. He bent down and then reached out to grab the back of the body. There is a layer of energy field distributed in Zero's hand, making Zero's hand as sharp as a scalpel. The energy field easily tore open the muscles of the back of the diffus, probed into its body, and directly caught the two predatory tentacles. First, cut off one of them, and then put the zero handle on the remaining tentacles.
Instinctively, the front end of the tentacle immediately bit the zero palm. The next moment, Zero felt that the blood was being pulled away by the mouth device of his tentacles. Beatrice looked at Zero in surprise and didn't understand why Zero did this. And it wasn't long before she knew the answer.
A scream sounded outside the control room, followed by staggering footsteps from far to near. Beatrice turned around and saw a thin figure flashing at the door. It was Dr. Corder. Dr. Codd has now tore off his researcher's coat, and a block of exoskeleton biological armor has been generated on his thin body, with a strong energy glow in the center of his chest.
From the perspective of breath, Dr. Corder has stood firmly at the level of the eighth level and marched towards the ninth level. But his expression was very painful, and the doctor shouted in an almost wailing voice, "For God's sake, please stop!"
"Are you finally willing to come out? Doctor, I thought you still wanted to continue to play hide-and-seek. Zero sneered and pulled his hand away from the tentacles of the body, but he was still not ready to let go of it.
Looking at the painful Dr. Corder, he said lightly, "Sure enough, as I expected, Dr. Corder, it seems that the weakness of substance Z has been exposed."
"Do you know?" Cod smiled bitterly and said, "I thought destroying the old man's information was enough to hide his weakness, but you actually discovered his weakness from the battle. All I can say is that you have a very terrible fighting instinct. Can you tell me your name? Powerful invaders."
"My name is Zero."
After reporting his name, he stepped on the derivative below with his petty foot and said, "I admit that the characteristic or instinct of substance Z, which is targeted evolution based on external stimuli, is very terrible. And in theory, as long as it is given time, the life parasitic by Z matter will one day become the hegemon of the planet. However, the theory is only a theory. After all, substance Z comes from the superlife of the Quaternary, and the genetic fragments created by it are far from the integrity of the body, so there are various defects.
Code's eyes widened, and he was very surprised to hear the word "* body" from his mouth. Finally, the doctor smiled bitterly and said, "Iger's big mouth said a lot. The Quaternary super life and the * body plan are both top secret, and he left a record in this way."
What does it matter? Times have been different for a long time, Doctor. Zero continued: "From the beginning when your researchers' general derivatives attacked us, I thought these derivatives were the tools you used to collect combat information and evolve. But now it seems that this is not the case. They do not collect information, but passively receive information and use it as a basis for evolution. The biggest disadvantage of passive evolution is the loss of autonomy. In other words, no matter whether the evolved life form is good or bad, you can't stop it as the subject. But this is far from reaching the comments of fatal defects until..."
Until the last battle with the undead, the speed of evolution increased by 100 times after the undead came into contact with zero blood. This lets zero know that Z matter can read genetic information in biological blood and adjust the speed and level of evolution according to its threat. Unfortunately, Agrades once let Zero feel the power of the twelve levels, that is to say, Zero has the potential of the twelve levels.
This potential is also engraved in the zero gene. When Z material reads this information, it determines the huge threat of zero, so it enters the process of high-speed evolution independently.
However, when it was about to rise to the ninth level, the gene collapsed. Then I have reason to imagine that substance Z has something similar to an upper limit, and beyond this upper limit, it will self-destruct due to overload. Zero looked at Kede with great interest and said, "Then as the subject, there must be a connection between you and the derivative. The same is true, which was previously in the biochemical zone. You are indeed evolving through the battle of derivatives, even if the extent of evolution is not obvious. So I'm thinking, if one of your derivatives accepts a lot of my blood, Dr. Codd, what will happen to you?"
Code has been silent for a long time. After a long time, he sighed heavily, "Although your inference is not completely correct, it is almost the same. I don't know what the so-called ninth order is, and I don't know what the evolutionary upper limit of Z matter is. In Carrahan's final experimental report, he only pointed out that although the cells of substance Z have extremely expandability, it can hold very huge energy. But it takes time to digest this energy. Once it receives too much stimulation from the outside world, it will cause the rapid evolution of Z matter autonomy. High-speed evolution inevitably produces huge energy. If this energy cannot be digested in time, the cells of Z will die. In other words, as the host, I will also die.
"So, should I send you to hell now? To be honest, with my current hematopoietic ability, it should offset the speed of your diet. Why don't we have a try?" With that, Zero's handle reached out to the tentacles of the body.
"No, no, no!" Codd shouted, "Please stop. As long as you let me go, I can do anything for you."
"Your potential is only the ninth level, and I already have several companions with great potential. So it seems that I don't need a vampire like you, doctor?"
"That's right." Codd replied, "If it's a battle, I admit that I'm really not good at it. But I'm not a soldier, I'm a scientist. I specialize in weapons and precision machinery. I think I should still be of some value. Besides, I can produce a derivative like the immortal every day. And they belong to independent combat units. As long as you give me time, I can produce a branch army for you. An army made up of a large number of immortals!"
Hearing this, Zero was really moved.
Think about how terrible a legion composed of eighth-order monsters should be. Coupled with Dr. Corder's strengths, it can be said that the current team still lacks an expert in weapons and machinery like Corder.
"But how can you guarantee that you won't harm me?" Ling said coldly, "Please forgive my caution. After all, your danger has been shown before. If you can't give me peace of mind, I would rather lose an army of eighth-order monsters and an excellent scientist than leave a bomb that could explode at any time.
"Well, I can give you that guarantee." Cod suddenly stretched out his hand and took it out of his chest. After a moment, he reached out to zero with his sticky arm and opened his palm. In the palm of the hand, a blood-like substance slowly floated in mid-air. It keeps changing shape and has formed a small exoskeleton on its surface after a moment.
"Is this?"
"The core of substance Z." Code said, "I can give it to you for safekeeping. I have no problem with you to study it and absorb it. And more importantly, if you destroy it, I will immediately die from genetic collapse. How about this? Is such a guarantee enough?
Zero nodded, and Code gently grabbed the blood bead and raised it towards zero. Zero reached out to catch it and threw it into his mouth at the first time. The core of substance Z entered Zero's body along the esophagus, but Zero did not choose to absorb it, but formed a biological capsule in the body and stored the blood bead.
In the process, he stretched out his thoughtful tentacles deep into the core and immediately got a large amount of data. In these data, there is indeed a part that matches Codd's words. And there are other things that Code himself doesn't know.
He stepped heavily into the head of the diffus, and after the life of the diffus, Zero walked to Kede and stretched out his hand: "Welcome to join us, doctor."
"Should I call you the master?" Cod smiled bitterly, and the core was controlled by Zero, and he was like a slave of Zero. Even at some levels, it is worse than slaves.
Zero didn't care: "There's no need to call me by my name. Now that we can be called companions, I would like to know if you don't mind. You don't seem to have lost your will when you were parasitized by Z material. Why did you kill a large number of base members in those years?
"It's hunger."
Cord smiled bitterly and said, "At that time, I didn't know that I had been parasitism by substance Z. In the early stage, Z substance carefully chose to fuse with my genes. In the meantime, I have a common disease similar to a cold and fever, and I don't care. I didn't feel my change until the Z substance completely merged my genes. But at that time, I was very hungry. Do you know that feeling, zero. Just like I haven't eaten for a century, the terrible hunger makes me want to eat all the food, including the people in the base. I think in the early stage of integration, the will is still dominated by Z matter to a certain extent. Then until I was conscious, most of the people had become the food rations for me and the body.
"Hate is planted like this, whether it's Egger or others. They didn't listen to my explanation at all, but wanted to kill me like a monster. Code shook his head and said, "But it's not my fault. Of course I won't sit back and wait for death, and then the result is what you see. Anyway, until now, I don't think I'm wrong. I just want to survive."
"Just like you gave me the core for safekeeping?"
"That's right. You can think I'm cowardly, but I just want to live.
Zero looked at him and shook his head and said, "If you know what happened on the surface, believe me. Doctor, death is not necessarily a bad thing.
"No, I have to live." Code insisted, "As long as I live, my dear Suna will have a chance to be reborn."
A nerve in Zero's mind was touched, just for the word "rebirth" in Code's mouth.
is still a biochemical area.
But this time, Corde took Zero to the secret laboratory in the biochemical area. This was originally an area to study substance Z, but now only one culture tank is working. There is a piece of meat floating in the green nutrient solution. Zero can only be described in this way. It seems that the meat has roughly the outline of the human body. But the upper tissue is a mess, with teeth and eyes together, heart and intestines entangled with each other, arms extending from the lower [yin] and so on.
This is like putting a lot of things together, which makes people feel miserable when they see it.
"It... Is that your Suna?" It is difficult for Zero to associate this alien thing with a woman, and Beatrice covered her mouth. If it hadn't been for the sake of respect, she would have vomited a few times.
Dr. Codd sighed, "Geneally, she is Suna."
Suna, the wife of Dr. Codd, was carried out in the white blood cell base at that time. In order to facilitate the monitoring of all the research members, the superior required all staff to take their families to live in the base. After the doctor was parasitized by Z, he launched a massacre of the members of the whole base due to hunger. In the process, his wife was killed.
Therefore, after recovering his will, the doctor suffered a lot. In the following time, he extracted the cell genes from Suna's body and tried to fuse Suna's genes with substance Z. Judging from the super vitality and regenerative characteristics of Z matter, Corder has a great opportunity to let Suna regenerate in another way.
Although he is a scientist, he knows nothing about biochemistry and genetics. After years of trying, it is just such a piece of meat.
Zero feels that Codd and he have something in common in this regard. So he said, "If it's biochemical genetics, I have a friend who can introduce me to you. Maybe he can help you fulfill your long-cherished wish.
"Really?" Corde's eyes suddenly glowed, and these eyes glowed with the brilliance seen many times at the end of the year.
This kind of brilliance is called hope!
