The earth was covered with frost, and under the blow of freezing rays, the surface temperature instantly dropped to -273.15 °C, which is the standard of absolute zero.

At this temperature, atoms and molecules are frozen, which is the limit of low temperatures allowed by the universe.

Wang Xu wore protective clothing and jumped down from the flower planting.

The moment his feet stepped on the ground, the ground was impacted, and it was suddenly like a glass that had been hit, and the crack centered on Wang Xu's foothold, spreading all the way to the surroundings.

"Didi, the absolute zero field of the freezing rays, affected by the surface temperature, will be lifted in 360 seconds."

On the headphones worn by Wang Xu, there was a prompt sound from the main control computer of the Flower Plantation.

The freezing rays that were shot down from the spacecraft pulled an area of hundreds of meters within a radius of the cargo spacecraft into the absolute zero realm in an instant.

However, this kind of field cannot last long, and as the thermal currents in the air erode and the surface temperature rises, the absolute field will gradually heat up.

If left alone, it would take about twelve hours for the temperature to return from -273.15°C to 36.8°C before.

"360 seconds, that's enough time." Wang Xu carried a suitcase and walked into the cold-filled spaceship.

In extremely low temperatures, not only did the surface become brittle, but so did the ship.

Wang Xu walked on the spaceship, just like walking on the ice, listening attentively, and could even hear the click, clattering sound coming from his feet, as if he had stepped on something.

Walking all the way on the ice, I soon came to the door of the ship's warehouse.

Looking at the cold door, Wang Xu stepped on his right foot.

Click!!

The rift stretched from under his feet, all the way to the gate, and soon the gate was also covered with rifts.

After two breaths, the metal door shattered, and metal shards scattered to the ground.

Wang Xu raised his eyes and looked inside, there were still traces of the original virus on the ground, but it was this tenacious virus that was also sealed in the low temperature.

Stepping on the frozen virus stock solution, Wang Xu slowly squatted down, took out a laser cutter from the box in his hand, and cut out a 10-centimeter-long virus sample in all directions.

Putting the virus sample in the box, Wang Xu took out another bomb from the ring and installed it on the shelves of the warehouse.

After doing all this, he turned around without looking back, and directly boarded the Seed Flower spaceship, and the pilot spaceship soared into the sky.

Drip drip drip ....

Rumble!!

The spaceship stayed at an altitude of 10,000 meters, and Wang Xu swept the white light rising below his eyes through the computer screen.

After a few seconds, the white light dissipated, and there was a large crater with a diameter of one kilometer where the light appeared.

The cargo ship that originally existed here had been blown into dust under the shockwave, and according to his knowledge of the alien virus, there was no chance that the virus stock solution would survive such an explosion.

"Open the medical room and fill the culture tank with nutrient solution." Wang Xu walked to the medical room with his suitcase, the Seed Flower is a small spaceship, because it is too small, similar to the laboratory that a large spaceship will equip with, it does not exist on the Seed Flower.

Wang Xu could only reluctantly use the medical room as a laboratory to study the virus specimens in his hands.

Zizizi!!

The 1.5 meter high, transparent-colored culture tank is quickly injected with a nutrient solution.

Wang Xu waited until the nutrient solution was filled with more than half, and then took out the virus stock solution in the box, put it into the culture tank, and carefully observed it.

The virus stock solidifies at low temperatures and becomes a lump of bituminous condensation.

Under Wang Xu's observation, as soon as he entered the warm culture medium, the condensed virus stock began to melt, and the black virus spread rapidly.

It's like an ink ingot falling into the water, and in just a few breaths, the milky white nutrient solution completely turns deep black, thick like ink.

"Nurse, did you take the picture just now?"

"Got it..."

The virtual screen appeared in front of Wang Xu, and it was the process of him putting in the virus stock solution and infecting the nutrient solution.

"Zoom in!" With Wang Xu's order, the picture was quickly enlarged.

The virus stock solution that entered the nutrient solution was magnified into something like countless black cells.

In the picture, these cell-like virus stock solutions are gulping down, liquefiing milky white cells and growing in size.

When they double in size, one virus cell divides itself into two, and in just a few breaths, the virus cell completes thousands of self-divisions, taking up all the space in the culture tank.

At this point, the nutrient solution in the culture tank has been swallowed up.

The palm-sized coagulation of the virus stock solution also turned into a large tank of active virus stock solution, and entered the second stage of evolution again.

"Slow down, slow down, stop!"

Wang Xu raised his right hand, looked at the frozen picture, and whispered: "It's amazing!" ”

In the picture, a virus cell is growing from a round shape, elongating its body and turning into something like a tadpole.

This evolution is very amazing, a bit like the growth process of frogs in the show Man and Nature.

At first, it is a round egg, and one part of the egg begins to extend to become a tail, and the place where there is no extension becomes a head.

Wang Xu looked at the freeze-frame picture, the black creature with a tail on the screen was not the juvenile stage of the face-hugging snake.

"What's your name, little one?" Wang Xu left the virtual screen and came to the cultivation tank.

In the cultivation tank, a face-hugging snake the size of a hair was sticking to the glass and looking at Wang Xu.

"Huh!" Under Wang Xu's shocked gaze, the larva of the face-hugging snake that he observed was eaten by another face-hugging snake larva in one bite.

The larvae of the face-hugging snake that ate their companions slammed into the glass with great force, as if they were demonstrating against Wang Xu.

But it was not the winner, and soon the larvae of the surrounding snake swarmed up and ate the snake as well.

The feast of killing begins, and every cell liquefied by the virus can give birth to a face-hugging snake.

In the entire cultivation tank, there are tens of thousands of hair-like snake larvae, and they are chasing each other frantically, devouring each other and strengthening themselves whenever they have the opportunity.

Soon, some strong face-hugging snakes became the thickness of their thumbs by devouring them, and they could eat their companions with the thickness of their hair in just one bite, like terminators on the food chain.

"How can they kill each other?"

Wang Xu looked at the big battle with a face-hugging snake and whispered, "Is it because the nutrition can't keep up?" ”

Growth and evolution need nutrition, nutrition can't keep up with people, it's wasted, alien is also a kind of living thing, of course, it is impossible to transcend this law.

The nutrient solution in the culture tank is limited, the more the face snake is born, the faster the nutrient solution is consumed, once it can't keep up with the speed of consumption, the face snake wants to grow up can only devour each other, and turn its companions into nutrients for their own growth.

"Infuse the nutrient solution!" Wang Xu gave an order, and the pipe on the culture tank poured the nutrient solution into it again.

With the replenishment of the nutrient solution, the larvae of the face-hugging snake did not kill each other, and turned their guns to devour the nutrient solution.

But it didn't take long for the nutrient solution to be devoured, and the whole process lasted less than three seconds, and the face-hugging snake larvae were killing each other again.

10,000, 1,000, 100, 10, 5, 3...

In mutual cannibalism, survival of the fittest, only the strongest and most vigorous face-hugging snake larvae can defeat layers of opponents and survive.

In the end, only three of the hugging snake larvae survived, and all the others were devoured.

After absorbing the nutrients of so many companions, the three surviving face-hugging snakes can no longer be called larvae, each of them has the thickness of a wrist, even bigger than the one Wang Xu saw on the spaceship, like three pythons in a cage.
