Chapter 326: Illness
Fluorescent proteins were collected from jellyfish.
It is then genetically modified and implanted into a rabbit's fertilized egg.
This brings us to the fluorescent rabbit.
One thought of jellyfish.
Two familiar words came to Lu Wen's mind.
【Eternal Life】
The immortality of a certain jellyfish has made many people pin their hopes for human immortality on this creature.
The slowly wriggling sarcoma in front of Lu Wen's eyes looked ......
The rind does seem to have a bit of a jellyfish feel.
But this creature gave Lu Wen more of a feeling...... Heterozygous and chaotic seem to combine the genes of many organisms.
He turned around and walked slowly back down the street.
"You know that the topic of immortality has been separated from many small research projects, some people put the hope of immortality on immortal animals, others on plants, thinking that some plants can extend their life indefinitely under the conditions suitable for the environment, and some are like you, studying the mechanical immortality of flesh and blood life." Lu Wen said to Zero.
"Do you think this animal is a product of the Immortality Project?" Zero asked.
"What do you think?" Lu Wen did not answer, but asked rhetorically.
"I think it should be."
The two continued on the path of the city.
The sky was getting darker.
The night breeze in the city is somewhat cold, not as warm as it is in summer.
Many of the buildings have only collapsed in half.
The entire road is watched by the windows of the black holes of the buildings on both sides.
From time to time, faded white curtains wafted out of the window, like a lonely ghost hovering in the city.
The sound of whimpering wind echoed through the building.
The faint-hearted will be quite afraid of such old and uninhabited cities.
When night is approaching, it seems that there is a pair of dead eyes in every dark corner.
The alarm in Lu Wen's body did not stop for a moment.
The sound of footsteps echoed through the dead silence of the city.
"......
Another bizarre sound.
A flying creature, with its own few wings, struggled to stir up a pair of small wings, as if it wanted to fly, but ended up crawling on the ground, and its two fluorescent, transparent wings were useless.
This creature, judging from Lu Wen's aesthetics, is also very ugly.
The epidermis is also quite smooth.
It feels like an elongated version of the sarcoma you just had.
It's just that this time there are a little more of them, two slender eyes, a deeply sunken mouth, no lips, and you can see dense fangs when you open and close, very fine, like crushed peanuts embedded in the mouth.
The creature is chewing on a long strip of bugs.
【Match failed】
The system also does not shine.
As for the long strip of black bugs, the system has given a partial answer.
Planarians
It looks a bit like a leech planarian, but the length of this one is nearly one meter, and I don't know how long the part that is eaten is.
"You brought me to this city just to show me the creeping creatures in this city?" Lu Wen asked lightly.
"Just to prove my point, there are more human beings in this world than just nine big cities." Zero replied.
"There may be crazy scientists in nine cities doing this and putting the creatures in the labs in contaminated areas to avoid detection."
"You now have A00 permissions, so you can naturally look it up."
A00's permissions are not a panacea.
In Lu Wen's observations, there are indeed a small number of researchers doing this, and some even directly use them on human embryos, but those people do not throw their research results into no man's land.
Just like last time in the plant city.
The further you go, the more strange creatures you see.
Plants are also emerging.
These plants are normal at the same time, they are ordinary mosses.
Night has finally fallen.
There are fluorescent flying insects floating in the sky.
The bugs land on station signs, crawl on the steel beams of dilapidated old churches, and are occasionally eaten by strange creatures.
Every piece of ruins of the city lit up with a faint green glow.
The night seems to be a paradise for these creatures.
They are afraid of the sun.
But they can make their own light.
Most of the creatures here have one thing in common, they have no hair or scales, and their skin is smooth, wrinkled, and even somewhat translucent, and they can see the flesh inside.
The arrival of Lu Wen and Zero did not disturb these creatures.
Most of them move slowly.
Creeping is the only mode of movement for many creatures.
When night comes, they squirm in the direction of the city's most central water source.
"There are no bones." Zero suddenly said: "These creatures don't have bones in their bodies, so they will soften into a ball, even if they are sea creatures like squid, they will have a sea cricket in their bodies." ”
"These animals are more like random combinations of some crazy people when they are bored, otherwise it would be impossible to explain that all living things have fluorescent components in them."
If it is for the study of eternal life.
There's no need to fluoresce, it's too much.
This city full of deformed and strange creatures should be a random work.
Mastering this technique is like holding a treasure box from another world, there are always some that you can't hold, and from time to time you will want to open the box and release the xenomorphs.
"Let's go." Lu Wen said to Zero.
Zero was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why don't you go to the center of the city to have a look?" ”
Lu Wen said lightly: "A backwater lake, there are some deformed creatures floating in the lake, and those creatures may also fluoresce, soft and lying on their stomachs, as ugly as a drop fish...... Is there anything else to see? ”
"I didn't ...... No. ”
"Let's go, then."
Seven o'clock in the evening.
The city is becoming more and more fluorescent.
Many animals slowly wriggled out from under the rubble, moving little by little towards the water source in the center of the city.
This long movement should take several days or more, and after getting enough water at once, they slowly move in the opposite direction.
Lu Wen didn't know if these creatures could think.
But it doesn't look like it will.
Perhaps there were also people secretly watching the city and watching them coming, but because of the special identities of both of them, they didn't do anything.
"You're scared, scared I'm going to kill you." Lu Wen said lightly.
"Your bland tone is exactly the same as Xia Chuluo, she is the kind of person who shoots and kills people without saying a word, how do I know if you will learn her character." Zero replied truthfully.
Miss Xia really doesn't like to say too much.
The last time I was in Canterlot, a certain temple member had just walked into the inn, and before she could say anything cruel, she shot her in the head.
Probably people don't talk much, that's the type of thing.
The words she says are often very sharp, and few can parry them, so her popularity has always been bad, but she can make a deep impression.
"Don't worry, you still have value."
"Is there one?"
"Tell me all the chess pieces you have controlled in the past few decades, those who should be killed must be killed, and those who should be free can go and live their own lives."
……
Mou City.
The lights are on.
The city is gradually regaining its prosperity.
Many families are having dinner and watching the news to learn about the progress of the city's rebuilding efforts and how to deal with the androids.
"Knock Knock Knock ......"
Ordinary knocking on the door.
Gentle, not rushed.
Very light, not heavy.
"Sisi, is someone knocking on the door?"
"Well, I'll go open it."
The family was very wealthy, as you could tell by just looking at the interior of the house.
Although rich, life is very ordinary.
The wheelchair rotates slowly.
Come to the door.
White-haired teenage girl twists the doorknob.
The door opened.
No one.
In front of the door is a painting of a young girl standing on the edge of a field in the sun, her long white dress fluttering in the wind.
The girl sat in a wheelchair, bent down and reached to pick up the painting, her pink eyes full of joy.
……
Jing Le leaned against the corner of the street, where the street lights couldn't shine.
Long blonde hair hangs down in front of the forehead.
He held the sketchpad, and his pale blue eyes kept looking at the door in the distance, and stared at it for a long time, until the painting was picked up and the door closed.
"How does it feel to be free?"
A voice remembered behind him.
Jing Le was shocked.
He turned slowly, one hand holding the sketchpad and the other behind his back, ready to pull out the gun at his waist.
What appeared in his field of vision was a android.
Very ordinary, very common housekeeping-type androids.
"Lu Wen?"
"It's me."
"You've gotten to that point."
Jing Le gave up his intention to resist.
Facing the current Lu Wen, he has no hope of escaping.
"Zero has been killed by you?"
"She's alive."
"You're here to solve me?"
"Just a goodbye to an old friend." Lu Wen smiled lightly: "You should be able to guess that I got the permission of A00, and now only the no man's land is safe for you, but you still entered the city." ”
Jing Le replied calmly: "You are different from Zero, at least you have principles, and you will not kill Sisi just because I entered Mowu City." ”
"I like that girl, why don't you tell her?" Lu Wen asked.
"I'm sick."
"Everybody's sick."
……
Good night, book friends!
