Chapter 15: Preparing for the Second Journey

What is despair?

It's when you're walking down the street, and suddenly there's a sinkhole, and then you grab the edge and don't fall down, but you can't climb up, that's called despair.

What is Extreme Despair?

That is, when you grabbed the edge to survive, suddenly someone grabbed your wrist, and when you looked up with excitement, he shook his hand and said to you with a cheap smile: "I see that you are holding the strange tired, let me listen to a few screams, I will let you go." ”

This is extreme despair.

Wood is in extreme despair now, and this system is definitely deliberate.

I'm dying, and you're still playing with me like that?

Pitch-black bullets?

As far as Wood knew, this world was very similar to the Iron City, a world where humanity was surviving in the last days.

It's just that the level of science and technology is much higher than that of the Iron City.

However, in terms of the degree of danger, the "Pitch Black Bullet" is much higher than the "Kabaneri of the Iron City"

- Gastrea

A monster that suddenly appeared in that world and devoured humans.

They have a variety of appearances, but they are basically the images of various animals, and with the corresponding genetic factors, similar biological forms will appear, but they are many, much larger, and have physical abilities that are several times stronger than ordinary creatures.

But that's not the scariest part!

Similar to cabane, gastrulation organisms are capable of contracting 'enterovirus' by biting.

'Enterovirus' is a DNA virus that can change organisms into gastrators, and it can change the host into different forms of gastrates by rewriting the DNA arrangement of the host, which is actually the species that changes organisms.

Moreover, 'Enterovirus' has a high adaptability, it can compound the DNA factors of different species, combine them to one organism, and make the organism have the morphology of two different organisms, which is the so-called composite factor Phalozoa, which is simply evolution!

The most terrifying thing is that the protosagulars themselves have a certain degree of regenerative ability, and human weapons simply cannot easily kill such monsters.

Sum up.

In the end, this world, whose technological level was much higher than that of the Iron City, fell to the same fate as the Iron City.

The area where humans live has been largely taken away by protozoa.

There are remnants of humanity hiding in a few areas, and unlike the post stations in the world of Iron City, the reason why the humans in this world did not all perish was completely dependent on a metal called 'Qiang'.

The 'Iron' itself can release a special weak magnetic field, which has the activity of weakening the Gastaloid virus, making the Gastroid lose its ability to regenerate, and keeping the Gastar instinctively away, while the remnants of humans are hiding in this monolith made of Horn.

It is precisely because of the existence of a glutinium that can deprive the archetuses of their ability to regenerate that humans have the possibility of fighting the archetuses.

However, gastargus creatures are not as easy to bully as Kabane, as mentioned above, gastrulation creatures can evolve!

Specifically, it can be divided into five stages.

Stage 1: The primary form of ordinary organisms or humans after being infected by the protoenterovirus will usually only be single-factor protozoans, and their physical conditions are relatively weak, so they are easier to be defeated.

Stage 2: Protogastrates that absorb more DNA material on the basis of Stage 1 and further evolve their bodies.

Stage 3: Evolvers that absorb more DNA material on the basis of Stage 2 will grow in size to a certain extent from Stage 1 to this point. From this stage onwards, the gastrulation began to evolve more commonly towards a multifactorial type.

Stage 4: An evolved version of Stage 3, which is significantly larger than Stage 3. It is very powerful, and its resistance to aquarium metal has been further improved, and it is possible to have special abilities.

Stage 5: The stage with the highest degree of evolution and the most terrifying ability. With a huge body that is far inferior to Stage 4, it is difficult for ordinary coined weapons to do little damage to it, and it is completely immune to the magnetic field of the metal.

It can be said that the city protected by the megalithic monument was targeted by Stage Five, and in the end, there was only one way to perish. Fortunately, there are only eleven protogastrated creatures of this level, and they are scattered all over the world, so the chance of encountering them is extremely small.

Human beings are only surviving in this world.

There is no doubt that this is a dangerous world.

But that's not the point!

The point is......

"What I want is a world that increases the strength of my soul."

Wood was naΓ―ve enough to think that the system would be able to list a whole bunch of worlds for him to choose from, and when the time comes, he would choose soul-related worlds such as the Grim Reaper, but now it seems ...... Sure enough, I still can't afford 'it'!

But this time, Wood did misunderstand the system, because the next system gave him a big surprise.

[The world's selection is randomly matched, please support the host. In addition, the host soul is connected to the Overworld, and can be enhanced by going to other worlds, and will not collapse further. 】

Wood was stunned, and then he was happy.

"In other words, no matter how long I stay in other worlds, my soul will not continue to crumble?"

[After returning, it will be calculated according to Overworld time!] 】

One month?

Wood frowned, doesn't that mean that if you can't find a cure for yourself, you have to keep traveling.

But he had no other choice.

Don't want to die –

You can only keep looking.

……

D City, Stinky Old Face Laboratory.

After more than half a month, Wood once again saw the obscene stinky face of the stinky old face.

I can't wait to step forward and hammer him to the ground, and then make up for it a few times, if it weren't for this old bastard's potion, how could I have ended up where I am today.

Eventually, Wood suppressed the tempting idea.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ A DNA virus that can transform ordinary organisms into protogastrates that can change the host into different forms of protogastrates by rewriting the DNA arrangement of the host, which is actually changing the species of the organism......"

Wood didn't bother to talk nonsense with this old guy, and directly told the relevant information about the aragula, and then said, "Can you make a potion that can suppress this virus, or something?" ”

The stinky old face looked at Wood excitedly: "Aragular? Where exactly do you see this kind of thing, I think it has a lot of research value. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ You don't care about that, I'll ask if you can make inhibitors or something. ”

The stinky old face glanced at Wood strangely, and did not speak, but turned around and tapped half-loudly on the computer, and finally called up a web page for Wood to see.

It was a lamp-like device, but it was hugely large.

"The gastrulation you are talking about, in my opinion, is no different from eccentricization, they are both the same breakthrough of biological limits and change species."

The stinky old face turned his head and pointed to the thing on the screen: "This thing should be useful, this is a ray that was researched 20 years ago, when the weirdness entered the peak, in order to reduce the phenomenon of human weirdos." ”

"Suppress weirdos?"

Wood was stunned: "Then why are there so many weirdos?" ”

"Because it's so whimsical, weirdos are fundamentally different from what you call gastrulation; Eccentrics are all products of the Fall, and most of them are voluntary. And weirdos are not such simple creatures, although this ray can play a role in inhibiting, but it only delays the time of weirdos, and finally it is naturally deserted. ”

"But for the single-gene organisms you are talking about, it should have a great inhibitory effect."

Wood's eyes lit up, and then he frowned: "Can you find a way to make small snacks, preferably the kind that can be carried around, I will use it early tomorrow morning." ”

"Hmph, such a simple thing."

The stinky old face turned around directly, turned his back to Wood and waved his hand: "When the time comes, you can come to me to pick it up." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Wood raised his fist, but in the end he couldn't bear to smash it, although it was a little crazy, but he was also a talent!
