After the cataclysm, the "living mutations" of humans and beasts produced by the alienation of the black mist of spores were referred to as evolutionaries and black beasts.

Black beasts are evolutionary beasts, mutant beasts, and corpse beasts are completely different.

Corpse beasts are often mixed with black corpses, and the two are the abbreviations of "dead body mutations" of humans and beasts that have died of spore toxins, carrying corpse toxins.

The spore community is not dominant when it is the first parasite. When the 'Advent Black Mist' erupts, the spore community will have two forms of survival in the organism.

One is the dominant state of releasing deadly toxins, and after the host loses vital signs, the spore community will take over the somatic nervous system and dominate to form "dominant corpses" such as black corpses and corpse beasts.

The other is the recessive state of deepening symbiosis, in which the host will further merge with the spore community and take a back seat, forming a "recessive symbiont" such as an evolutionary and a black beast.

Spore communities, or "Star Bandits" groups, are unable to subjectively decide on this choice. Without intervention, spore communities that have emerged from the dormant period will choose one of the two survival states depending on the strength of the energy activity of the organism.

"Immunopharmaceuticals" use energy means to artificially enhance the energy activity of the human body and affect the judgment of spore community. It is one of the common external interventions to avoid the transformation of living corpses.

In fact, Lang Hua remembered that as early as the first year of the end of the world, the phenomenon of "black fog vortex" had been discovered many times. But by the time humans found the most suitable method of absorption, it was already three years later.

Back then, a lot of things were going according to the plan of the "Star Thieves" group. Even if it is not under their control, and the "black fog vortex" that is accidentally generated, the best beneficiaries are the "overt corpse muters" group represented by black corpses and black beasts.

At first, "invisible symbionts" like humans wanted to use the energy of the spore crystal nuclei in the "Black Mist Vortex". However, they couldn't make physical contact with the "Black Mist Vortex", so they had to gather around to practice and obtain a weak energy bonus.

Due to many reasons, ordinary evolutionaries who have not awakened their abilities cannot use the condensed energy in the black mist vortex. However, the number of capable people in the early stage of the apocalypse was scarce, and they did not know how to use the energy in it, and how to slow down the dissipation of the "black fog vortex", which caused a lot of waste and tragedy.

An outlaw like Chao Sandao will definitely test innocent people for poison. Although the military prides itself on being upright, in order to produce scientific research results as soon as possible, it is indispensable to recruit death row prisoners to participate in human experiments.

This kind of conscription is similar to the "persuasion" in the pre-cataclysmic school, saying that it is to solicit opinions, but the answer is only seconded. Moreover, the military and the government are typical organs of violence, they can "persuade", but you cannot listen to "persuasion". Consciously responding to a call after a roll call, or being forced to accept a call at gunpoint after a roll call.

Death row prisoners are not drafted, or they are determined to die last. If you are lucky enough not to die in response to the call, you may have the advantage of having your sentence commuted or even regaining your freedom. Well, the choice is yours.

Before the cataclysm, biomedical technology on Earth was ahead of its time. Thanks to this, the field of spore crystal nuclei has been intensively studied. Later, the crystal nucleus agent was born, which broke this embarrassing situation and made the "Black Mist Vortex" widely used by the human race.

It's just that when the vortex potion was born, it was already in the middle of the last days. Most of the Black Mist Vortex spawn locations are located in cities and jungles, and most of them are occupied by two camps, the Black Corpse and the Black Beast, respectively. Humanity has also struggled for a long time between the two races, and has lost the strength to compete for world dominance again.

Of course, if there is no present world of all kinds of crystal nucleus, there will be no power to fight back in this apocalyptic catastrophe.

After all, if the Evolver only relied on "naked swallowing" of the crystal nucleus, the energy absorption effect would be almost doubled!

When Lang Hua thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

The apocalyptic catastrophe planned by the Star Thieves group is really aimed at the human race everywhere...... If the Terrans can't do their best and seize every small opportunity, survival and even victory will only be wishful thinking.

——

In the apocalyptic world, the energy of the allogeneic crystal nucleus has a variety of absorption and assimilation.

The first way is to swallow the allomorphic crystal nucleus directly, which depends on the absorption rate of the individual's assimilation ability is the lowest, only 30%~40%.

Later, it was discovered that mixing the crystals with vinegar supplements can avoid most of the side effects. This improved method increases the absorption rate to 50%~60%, which is jokingly called "vinegar rice".

As the name suggests, although the "vinegar rice" is sour and hard, and the taste is not good, it does have a little more "taste" than "naked swallowing". By taste, we mean benefits. That is, the improved absorption rate and the side effects of abandonment.

Later, it was confirmed that an active ingredient in acetic acid activated the orderly arrangement of crystal nucleus molecules, making the crystal nucleus energy easier to be absorbed by allogeneic bioassimilation.

In the previous life, when the crystal nucleus elixir had not yet been developed, although the "naked swallowing" was convenient and fast, it had side effects such as unstable energy amplification, allogeneic energy conflicts, and induced limb mutations. Therefore, on the contrary, the "vinegar supplementary food method" is more accepted and adopted.

Only a few months later, "Kemeng" successfully developed the crystal nucleus, and the energy conversion rate of the allogeneic crystal nucleus exceeded the 80% mark.

Before the third "crystal nucleus agent method" was widely used, there was a period of groping with no fingers in sight. It is emotionally called the "pioneer years".

Because after the cataclysm, everything was buried, and civilization was no longer and returned to the primitive. In the face of a new situation and a changed world, everyone is in a state of ignorance, everyone is exploring, struggling, and rolling in the quagmire.

It was during this period that the "vinegar supplement" was born. And before it, the aimless attempt had already buried the lives of many people who dared to "taste a hundred herbs".

Looking back now, this short history of several months is a microcosm of the chaotic beginnings of the first year of the end times.

During his tenure in the 215th Regiment, Lang Hua had a variety of potion recipes in his hands, all of which were upgraded versions after the middle of the apocalypse.

After the success of the initial research on crystal nucleated agents, the "KMENG" became famous in one fell swoop, and the latest formulations were often supplied to the military first. However, whether it is open to the military or the civilian population, it is all provided free of charge, at the cost of inconspicuous but necessary research support and material assistance. For a time, the "League of Science and Technology" became the most prestigious non-governmental organization in the last days.

In the upgraded formulation, many of the ingredients in the flask have been reduced and replaced with easy-to-find chemicals, making it easier to quickly prepare on the front lines of the individual battlefield.

The "instant chemical solution" used by Lang Hua to ablate the "vortex crystal nucleus" is a typical achievement in the later research projects of the Science and Technology Alliance.

Seriously, the color of the vortex crystal nucleus is gray and unpleasant, but the effect is really strong. 3 minutes after the entrance of the potion, Lang Hua felt a heat in the back of his head, chest and abdomen, and then this heat spread to the limbs and body surface with the blood, and the labor pain suddenly hit!

Numbness, itching, pain!

Every nerve of Lang Hua, even every inch of bones and muscles, is suffering as if it is a thousand ants and insects.

Sweat poured out of Lang Hua's body like a waterfall, and in an instant, he soaked through his clothes.

"Brother!" Yang Xiaoxiao was anxious, and wanted to step forward but was pulled by Lin Qian.

"Sister Qian!" She turned her head sharply, the anger in her eyes almost overpowering the confusion.

"Xiaoxiao, calm down! Don't bother your brother. Lin Qian said calmly, but the worry and impatience in her eyes could not be concealed.

Inadvertently by her, Yang Xiaoxiao's wrists were pinched red by her.

Lin Qian is a power-type ability! If it is not a casual action, how can the one-handed grip strength be more than 200KG?

But Yang Xiaoxiao didn't seem to feel it, just stared at Lang Hua in the corner.

Lin Qian suddenly let go of her hand, took a deep breath, and asked Yang Xiaoxiao, "Do you remember what your brother said just now?"

"Remember...... The evolutionary progression is gradual, and the faster the evolutionary impulse, the more timely the physical fitness transformation must keep up. On the basis of the use of chemicals, although the danger is greatly reduced, the process is still not disturbed. Otherwise, it will fail at least and the previous achievements will be lost, or at worst, it will be killed, the spore community will dominate, and the organism will die and turn into a dominant corpse variant. ”

"yes." Lin Qian said with a sigh, "Although the spore community and the human body are co-evolving and coexisting. But if the balance is lost, who says that the symbiotic relationship is irreversible with the parasitic relationship? ”

Lang Hua only said this once, and Lin Qian only listened to it. Who would have thought that Yang Xiaoxiao would write it down word for word as if it were an endorsement.

Lin Qian remembered that many years ago when she was still in middle school, her father Lin Wenjin once boasted that the child Yang Xiaoxiao next door was very smart after tea and dinner, and it was said that she could almost recite it. But a few years later, Lin Qian saw Yang Xiaoxiao who was promoted to junior high school for the first time, but she only felt that the other party was mediocre.

Back then, Lin Qian was very playful, and the eldest lady was full of temper, which made Lin Wenjin have a headache. As for the so-called genius child of her friend's family, she once thought that her father deliberately exaggerated the fact in order to be strict with herself.

But as the saying goes, "the shadow of a person's famous tree", how can a shadow-like evaluation have no roots. Now that the scene is in front of her, how can she say that she doesn't believe it?

The only thing that Lin Qian couldn't figure out was why Yang Xiaoxiao, a genius girl who was proficient in mental arithmetic and shorthand in her childhood, no longer lived up to her name when she grew up?

In the two years before Lang Hua came to the Yang family, this child was often in a strange mood, and he was judged by two people. The only possible reason, Lin Qian thinks it will be Xiaoxiao's biological mother Yang Qinghuan.

The smarter the child, the more sensible he may be, but the ability to discover the truth is definitely not weak.

was once regarded as a drag oil bottle by his biological parents who were married and divorced in a flash, and no one will feel good no matter how they change.

It's just that Yang Xiaoxiao, whom Lin Qian saw at that time, had an ambiguous expression.

I can't tell if it's expressionless, or if I forcibly suppressed the uneasiness in my heart.
