Chapter XXXVIII
The van truck was on the asphalt road, and the exhaust pipe suddenly emitted black smoke, and sometimes it was bumped up by the small potholes on the road and fell to the ground fiercely.
Chen Xin grabbed the steering wheel tightly, looked at Xie Guoping in the rearview mirror and asked, "Has the 'source' of the corpse been used?" ”
"It's been eaten. I know you kid must have kept one for himself, I advise you to wait a little longer, the effect is a bit rushing! Xie Guoping said tightly grasping the railing between the carriage and the cab.
"The effect is a bit overwhelming?" Chen Xin asked rhetorically a little puzzled.
"I can't say exactly, but after eating it, it doesn't absorb it right away, and it keeps fighting against my body. I have a feeling that this thing may have a consciousness of its own. Xie Guoping closed his eyes and said, as if he was reminiscing about the "source" that he had eaten.
Chen Xin was a little surprised when he heard what Xie Guoping said, at that time he just hoped to repay a favor, plus a little investment in the future legend, maybe there would be a tenfold return in the future.
Unexpectedly, Xie Guoping actually provided him with such news. I knew that anything related to the body, no matter how cautious and cautious it was, having a strong boss like Xie Guoping "exploring the way" for himself and feeding back the first-hand news was definitely worth the price of a "source".
He knew that many of the monsters in the later stages of the Wasteland Survival Handbook were actually transformed by people whose genes were broken. The consequences of genetic disorders are quite serious, and most people die on the spot, without even a chance to be saved. A small number of people who don't die will eventually become a monster-like existence, and they will never be able to return to human society.
"Is the consciousness in the 'source' the consciousness of the corpse?" Chen Xin did not expect Xie Guoping to answer this kind of mysterious and mysterious, about the question of "consciousness", at least until Chen Xin crossed over, the earth's scientific community could only monitor the existence of "consciousness" through electrocardiograms, brain waves and other means, but how it existed and how it was generated, still did not even find the threshold.
"Probably not, more like a blank consciousness. It's just that I want to absorb it, so it's instinctively resisting. To Chen Xin's surprise, Xie Guoping actually answered this question. Xie Guoping also knew very well that Chen Xinwen's corpse was the queen of the controller's corpse.
"This consciousness is strong?" Chen Xin thought of Xie Guoping's statement just now that he should wait, "the effect is a bit rushed".
"Very strong! There is at least a third-order consciousness intensity, which is about the same as yours. Xie Guoping nodded.
"What is the indicator of consciousness intensity, I have never heard of ......", Chen Xin asked himself that he knew all the biological indicators, but he had never heard of this indicator.
"Uh...... I made my own indicators. It's about the same as your consciousness anyway. Anyway, I know you hid the 'source' in a wound in your shoulder. Before Xie Guoping's words fell, the van almost hit the sign on the side of the road, and a sharp direction almost shook Xie Guoping to the wall of the carriage, "Concentrate and be careful!" That guy can't catch up for the time being. ”
Chen Xin was actually shocked, he thought that it would be impossible for anyone to find out if he hid the "source" and "power" he had traded with the corpse queen in the wound on his body, at least Feng Dongqing didn't notice it. But Xie Guoping actually broke the hiding position in one bite, so he was distracted and almost crashed, "In the underground passage, didn't you say that the thing wasn't on me?!" ”
The speed of the "big guy" is actually quite fast, running at a speed of almost eighty or ninety yards, and the speed of the van is actually a little faster than it, but because the road is not all straight, the distance between the two sides is actually maintained, but Su Wan and their figures have slowly appeared in the field of vision.
"If you ask me to play a play with you, then I will naturally play a full set." Xie Guoping said indifferently.
Chen Xin's face turned red, when he was in the underground passage, he really thought that he had deceived the legend in front of him, but he didn't expect that people were just playing with him, "By the way, Captain Xie, your ability to go back in time is true?" ”
"I don't know if it's going back in time, anyway, as long as you get close to it, you can know the ins and outs of this thing, and even the future, but it's all feelings, I can't tell! If you hadn't given me the 'source' first, I wouldn't have seen you make a deal with the corpse!" Xie Guoping thought that in the underground passage, after Chen Xin gave him the "source", he vaguely saw this kid making a deal with the corpse, and after telling Chen Xin, he was so frightened that this kid's face turned white.
"Well, you know I hid them in my shoulder, and then what?" Chen Xin was still very curious about Xie Guoping's experience and suggestions on using "source", and even a little impatient, because after meeting with Su Wan and them, it would not be convenient to exchange these.
"I think you're really doing it right! It may not be possible for you to feel the consciousness of the source yet, but as long as you keep nourishing it with your blood, I suspect that the consciousness of the source will be dominated by your consciousness. That way it should be a little easier for you to absorb. I haven't tried it either, though, it's just my speculation. Xie Guoping said his thoughts without care, in fact, this idea was also deduced by him relying on his ability similar to "time rewind", which took him a lot of effort, but he took such a big benefit from Chen Xin, and he really couldn't feel at ease if he didn't give something in return.
Chen Xin nodded, this is basically the same usage he saw in the book, except that powerful people draw out their blood and put it in a petri dish to tame the "source", while he can only be tamed in his own flesh and blood.
After taming, he can slowly absorb the evolution points contained in the "source", which is theoretically enough to push him to the 4th level.
"What did you just do to that guy?" Chen Xin pointed with his thumb at the "big guy" who was still running wildly behind him.
"Gouge out one of its eyes, do you want to study it?" Xie Guoping looked like he was about to take something out of his backpack.
Chen Xin was a little speechless, and gave Xie Guoping a thumbs up, no wonder that "big guy" was so violent, even after chasing for so long, he didn't have the slightest intention of giving up, "What are you going to do with this mess?" Have you been chased until you run out of gas? ”
Xie Guoping didn't answer immediately, but looked back and said indifferently, "Your appearance here is not in my calculations. It's already hurt, and if I have to fight, I won't necessarily lose. ”
Thinking that the zombie behind him was 6 meters tall, and Xie Guoping in front of him was not even 1.8 meters, Chen Xin really couldn't imagine that the two sides were evenly matched.
"I know you think I'm bragging, but fighting isn't just about who has the most strength and speed, we're not in the ring, you just need to think about how to use everything you can use to cause damage to the other side."
Chen Xin undeniably shook his shoulders, for him, hand-to-hand combat with a zombie with strong combat effectiveness was a failure in itself.
"Hey, beauty, do you want a ride?" Chen Xin finally caught up with Su Wan and his party, poked his head out of the car window and shouted.
Harris carried the poplar with one hand, and it didn't look very difficult, and he gave Chen Xin a middle finger, but when he saw the van slowly overtaking them, he slowed down, and still threw the poplar into the carriage.
Su Wan's face was already a little pale, and she didn't even have the strength to jump into the truck car, and when she was about to ask Harris to "throw" herself on, a hand actually stretched out from behind the half door of the car.
It was Xie Guoping, Su Wan glanced up. Without hesitation, she handed her hand over and was pulled into the carriage.
Now that Su Wan had gotten into the truck, the rest of the soldiers had all climbed into the truck in a few seconds.
"Head Xie, meet again." Su Wan breathed a sigh of relief, and her face looked a little better.
"yes, meet again." Xie Guoping didn't have any expression, he didn't have a good impression of the people of Titan Company, but he wouldn't speak ill of him when he met him. "By the way, the contents of this backpack are not the trophies of the raid, and they are not part of the last agreement."
Only then did Su Wan notice the backpack behind Xie Guoping, glanced at it and said, "We have already cleared up the previous assault. Please rest assured, Head Xie. ”
Xie Guoping nodded and didn't speak, but Chen Xin's voice came from the cab, "Dr. Su, what is that thing you threw away?" ”
Chen Xin really couldn't help it, for him, there were things that he didn't understand biologically, so he had to figure it out, especially when it came to genes, and it was a strong potion that could overturn such a big guy.
"Five million!" Su Wan glanced at Chen Xin, and a number faintly burst out of her mouth.
"What?! I mean what you throw at the 'big guy'. Chen Xin didn't react, he was stunned for a moment and asked again.
"It's five million." Su Wan, like Xie Guoping, seemed to have no expression forever, "Super Potent Gene Activity Inhibitors have always been available at the headquarters of Titan Corporation, and the price is clearly marked!" ”
Chen Xin swallowed a mouthful of saliva, he already had a preliminary understanding of the price system of the Titan Company, and he understood very well that the five million that Su Wan said was much more valuable than the five million in the old era, and he couldn't say that he could arm a squad.
However, looking at the effect of this potion, it is indeed worth so much, at least a mature zombie suspected of being of the seventh order is worth this price! If you calculate the price by your own life, it will naturally be more cost-effective.
There was a sound of saliva swallowing in the carriage, and the mercenaries knew better than Chen Xin what five million meant, and they were desperate to carry out a mission that might only be 200,000, and it was basically the price of buying their lives, and there would be no other compensation after they died in battle.
"Okay......" Chen Xin suddenly found that he had nothing to say about this kind of "big rich", and there was also silence in the carriage, only the creaking sound of the carriage bumping left and right.
After such a period of silence, Chen Xin provoked the conversation again, but his voice was a lot more serious, "Dr. Su, is the receptor of the gene activity inhibitor only an evolutionary body?" ”
Su Wan was a little surprised, Chen Xin actually found the key at once, "That's right." ”
"Then since the name is an inhibitor, I guess", Chen Xin's hand holding the steering wheel is much stronger, "That should be a polymerization inhibitor that slows down the polymerization of genes, well, it will have an effect if it is smashed open, even the poplar has been tricked, it should be a gas enzyme?" ”
Su Wan's expression had changed from surprise to expressionlessness, but she was very shocked in her heart, in terms of observation and imagination, Chen Xin was indeed a genius. Of course, a certain academic foundation in biology is also an indispensable foundation.
