Chapter 6: Evolution

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye, at least for Chen Xin, who was studying "ability lineage" and gene transcription technology, it passed in the blink of an eye.

In the middle of the night last night, Chen Xin had already obtained the first low-level "evolution potion" that had been encapsulated on the operating table, but he did not inject himself as soon as possible, but instead put the next configuration material that had been prepared long ago into the petri dish as quickly as possible according to the standard process. He already planned to leave a quota of raw materials for high-level "evolution potions", and the rest would be made into low-level "evolution potions", and in a short period of time, the survivability could be increased by as much as possible.

Although there are operating instructions for each step of the configuration process, and Chen Xin has rehearsed each step in advance countless times in advance, after all, he has not really operated these machines that are obviously much more advanced than his original laboratory instruments, which is a little rusty, and even almost made a mistake in a step and wasted a piece of culture materials.

If he really wasted a material, Chen Xin would definitely regret it, and he didn't know if he would have a chance to get these things in the future, even if they were true, it was estimated that he might have to pay a high price.

Chen Xin didn't inject the "Evolution Elixir" at the first time, also because he remembered that it was recorded in the "Wasteland Survival Manual" that people who awakened and evolved for the first time will have an obvious period of weakness just like those who evolved to the 6th, 11th, and 16th levels later.

Of course, after the period of weakness, there will be a qualitative leap in all abilities, including vitality, strength, survivability, etc.

Chen Xin couldn't grasp what this period of weakness would look like, or how much reaction there would be. In order not to waste the time of configuring the next "Evolution Elixir" and reducing the interval between the second configuration and the second one, he endured the temptation of directly injecting the "Evolution Elixir" and started the configuration operation first, anyway, in the process of automatic cultivation of the machine, Chen Xin really didn't need to do anything except carefully observe, but the raw material ratio at the beginning was more important, and the requirements for concentration were relatively high, and he must have a good mental state.

As the machine on the console began to operate automatically, Chen Xin let out a long sigh of relief and turned around and walked to the other side of the console.

Compared with the other chaotic console, there are obviously a lot of differences between this console and the other disorderly one, the things on the table are almost emptied, only two boxes are placed in the middle, the box on the left is padded with a black sponge, and in the middle lies a transparent automatic syringe containing a blue potion.

Chen Xin's hand couldn't stop trembling slightly, picked up the syringe, and put it in front of his eyes, the blue medicine inside seemed to be constantly flowing, and under the illumination of the white light, it kept emitting dazzling refracted light, flashing and flashing.

Chen Xin took a deep breath and pierced the vein in his left arm, and in less than a second, the automatic syringe pushed the medicine into the vein.

Chen Xin took out the syringe and looked at it carefully, confirming that the medicine inside had been injected into his body, so he put the syringe down and opened another box.

Inside the box was a capsule, which was exactly the "Ability Spectrum" inducer that Chen Xin had prepared before.

Chen Xin also found information on the "ability spectrum" in the laboratory, but obviously this research institute did not have much depth on the "ability spectrum", but only had a general idea of which inducing agents could be used to catalyze the ability in a specific direction.

According to the results of the experiment log, the more mature ones in this laboratory are agility and strength-type inducers.

Originally, before deciding to travel through the "Wasteland Survival Manual", Chen Xin had imagined that if he could choose the ability, he would choose the enhanced ability with infinite power and infinite regeneration, wouldn't it be cool if he couldn't be killed, and he was not afraid of being plotted.

It wasn't until he really survived in the "Wasteland Survival Manual" for a week that Chen Xin became more and more sure that his first choice should be the ability to choose agility, anyway, everyone is immune to the virus, so they must take the initiative to avoid encounters, and if they can fight one less battle, they will fight one less battle, and it is the king to be able to quickly get out of the battlefield, but it is really not good, and it is okay to fly a kite while hanging the enemy.

Chen Xin had configured an agile "Ability Inducing Elixir" before, not that Chen Xin didn't want to have two more bottles, but the materials of the Inducing Elixir and some of the materials of the "Evolution Elixir" overlapped, and cultivating them would occupy some of the raw materials and cultivation equipment.

And according to the description in the book "Wasteland Survival Handbook", the "Evolution Potion" can not only allow humans to improve their most basic physical fitness, but also produce "Evolution Points". The generation of the ability lineage is achieved by consuming "evolution points", if the "evolution points" are insufficient, the ability lineage cannot be generated or can only generate a half-finished ability, and the use of "ability inducing agents" many times over a period of time may cause gene disintegration, and the end result is 100% death, which is more terrible than being directly radiated by the reactor.

Therefore, after thinking about it, Chen Xin still configured an "ability inducing potion" first.

After all, clean water is still very scarce, and you must know that in some settlements, clean water is even hard currency, so you can not drink water or not.

It's not that the research institute can't make pure water, but it takes electricity to make pure water, when this research institute appeared in the "Wasteland Survival Manual", there was no electricity, Chen Xin didn't know about these mechanical equipment, and he didn't know when there would be no electricity, only that this kind of research institute must use its own power supply after the power supply in the city was cut off, in short, it would be a little less electricity to be used, and it would be funny if there was no electricity to distribute the evolution potion at that time.

From the professional perspective of Chen Xin's biology, the virus in this outbreak can be said to be not a real virus, but actually an infectious protein-like substance smaller than a virus, which can automatically replicate its own structure, and can even destroy the DNA and RNA of living organisms, and change some gene fragments, that is to say, the "virus" of this outbreak can even infect other viruses in the old era, as long as there are organisms in nature, they can spread. And a big problem is that this kind of virus is also resistant to high temperatures, and the roots of 100 degrees of water cannot be inactivated, so it can't even be boiled and sterilized, which is very terrifying and durable.

Fortunately, as long as the content of the virus exceeds a certain amount, whether it is biological tissue or water body, it will emit a faint foul odor, which will not dissipate for a long time, and it is impossible for normal people to drink it and will not drink it. And the water with a low virus content, the surviving humans basically have a certain degree of resistance, if they are not particularly weak, they will not be infected, of course, there are still risks. Therefore, pure water is particularly precious.

After injecting the "Evolution Elixir" for a while, Chen Xin felt that his whole body was hot, the muscles of his whole body seemed to be torn apart, even the muscles of his fingers and face were torn, his whole body was constantly breaking out in a cold sweat, his clothes were soaked in a blink of an eye, and the fat on his arms and stomach was slowly disappearing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After almost 5 minutes, Chen Xin felt a strange feeling of adapting to his body, although it was still continuing, he could already stand up straight, but his limbs were still very weak.

"Fortunately, the raw materials for the evolution potion were configured just now, otherwise I don't know how long it would take for this state to recover."

After resting for a while, Chen Xin stood up, and at this time, he didn't care about the daily share of pure water calculated before, and poured a large bottle into his mouth fiercely.

Leaning against the wall, he came to the hall weakly, Chen Xin wanted to test himself, what kind of changes he had after injecting the "evolution potion", although he had read it countless times in the book, but it couldn't compare to the feeling of experiencing it himself.

In the laboratory just now, he didn't dare to do any tests, surrounded by expensive instruments and "evolution potion" work-in-progress, in case of any damage to the instrument caused by poor control, it would be irreparable losses, and it would be too late to cry at that time.

Lying in the middle of the hall and resting for a while, feeling that his physical strength had recovered somewhat, Chen Xin stood up straight, took a deep breath, and felt that the body was different from before.

Soon, Chen Xin found that feeling, although he didn't know what was going on, but it was like "raising his hands and feet", and his whole body felt lighter, and Chen Xin also knew that it was not really light, but he felt that he could run faster and wave his hands and feet faster.

The physical test ended soon, because of the limitations of the venue, Chen Xin also tested the data such as running speed, after stimulating the ability, the speed and agility obviously exceeded the growth rate of 20%, it seems that the newly generated ability is really the ability of agility, the improvement effect is almost 50%, the peak speed of normal human beings is generally 8 meters per second, if this is used as the benchmark value 1, now Chen Xin can run into 100 meters without stimulating the ability to run in 100 seconds, and the same speed as the top athletes in the old era, It's about 1.2, and if you reactivate it, you can reach a peak speed of 1.8, and you can even exceed 15 meters per second, and the speed can exceed 50 kilometers per hour! Looking at the data, this ability should be the 'Agility Enhancement' described in the "Wasteland Survival Manual"! ”

"Really...... Incredible times! Chen Xin looked at the physical measurement data he had recorded just now, closed his eyes and sighed again.

"Grunt" Chen Xin's stomach made a loud noise.

"I'm so hungry..."Chen Xin frowned and said, he remembered that it seemed that all the cans had been eaten, even if he had saved them before, and he had dismantled the last can yesterday, he still remembered that he had opened the bottom of the cans last night, just to be able to lick all the soup clean.

After Chen Xin didn't give up and confirmed that it was all empty cans again, he began to prepare to go out to find food or change food, his stomach was really a little uncomfortable with hunger, even if he continued to study the evolution potion that he had always been very interested in, it could not dispel this hunger.

"A few of you, follow me to the riverside later, everyone bring the guys, and you will come back with a canned meat for one person!" In front of a shipping container in the port settlement, Hu Ningsheng shouted at seven or eight young people.

"Today, Lao Tzu must kill those two girls, thinking that every time a few cans of meat can buy me Hu Laoba?! Dream on. If you can get 10 magazines today, you can exchange them for 50 cans with the Admin! I divide 5 cans at a time, and I'm really called Hanako! Hu Ningsheng watched these young people go back to get their weapons in twos and threes, and thought to himself.

In fact, Hu Ningsheng also knows the truth of a long stream, if he has more than 5 cans a week, he can't ask for it.

It's just that this involves his revenge on Xu Licheng, so he has to give up these risk-free cans. After all, Xu Licheng and Wang Jiayi are actually "self-reliant", and the news that they have found an empty container to live alone has begun to spread in the port.

There are thousands of people in the entire port area, and few people know about the "company", in fact, every member of the management committee is a quasi-"company" member. It is said that the "company" was originally a force composed of several chaebols in the largest city in the Far East, and after the outbreak of the virus, it quickly gathered a large number of manpower and materials and left the land by boat, and it did not take long to rely on hundreds of super-large oil tankers to set up the "company", a super force, which occupied many small islands along the surrounding coast.

Hu Ningsheng occasionally heard his distant cousin who worked in the "company" say that the "company" had always had the idea of returning to the mainland, so he set up a base on Jiangxin Island and sent many people from peripheral organizations to the port area to collect the displaced people.

Hu Ningsheng is a member of these peripheral organizations, and he has also heard his distant cousin hint that as long as he does a good job, has a high reputation among the homeless, and has a strong grasp of power, he has the hope of truly joining the "company", and the welfare of the "company" is not something that this group of people in the port who can't even eat enough and can only bathe in stinky water can imagine.

And the eight or nine young people just now are a few of Hu Ningsheng's subordinates who have secretly gathered him, but he can't afford to support them, so he just relies on the pure water rationed by the "company" every month.

At this time, Hu Ningsheng felt more and more that listening to his cousin's words, it was a right choice to come to the port from Jiangxin Island, at least compared to the old times, life was much more comfortable, and this week, he was messing with Mei Ting in the container every day, and he tried all kinds of posture and means, which made his waist feel a little sore in the past two days.

Just thinking that Wang Jiayi's little lady ran away with Xu Licheng, Hu Ningsheng felt a burst of evil fire in his heart, and secretly made up his mind that he would kill Xu Licheng and the surnamed Chen, and turned around and took Wang Jiayi away, and all the postures he came up with a few days ago had to be tried again on Wang Jiayi, thinking of this, Hu Ningsheng felt that his pants were a little panicked.

Within a few minutes, several young people returned, some with long watermelon knives in their hands, some with fire axes from nowhere, and even a kitchen knife with an obvious edge.

The goal of the group was not small, and it took Hu Ningsheng a long time to take these young people to avoid the zombies and go to the place where Chen Xin and Xu Licheng agreed to trade before.

Seeing that he was about to reach that place, Hu Ningsheng actually saw Xu Licheng coming from the opposite direction, and secretly said in his heart that it was not good, it was estimated that they had already completed the canned food transaction.

A young man in a white vest behind Hu Ningsheng looked like a person who could look at his eyes, and when he saw Hu Ningsheng seeing Xu Licheng's face pale, he knew that the two of them were not dealing with each other, and it was very likely that they were the target to deal with this time, so he whispered to Hu Ningsheng flatteringly, "Head, do you want to kill that kid, it's far away from the port!" When the time comes, everyone will stab him a few times, and no one will say anything. ”

Hu Ningsheng had a gloomy face, just looked at Xu Licheng coming over and didn't answer the little young man in the white vest, and raised his hand to stop it.

Xu Licheng looked at Hu Ningsheng on the opposite side and a large group of people behind him, and his heart was also tight, but he knew that since he had been seen, he must not turn around and flee, otherwise so many people could block themselves no matter how they outflanked.

"It's good that I didn't bring Jiayi with me," a thousand thoughts turned in his heart, but Xu Licheng found that there was something to be thankful about in the end, and now he could only continue to walk forward.
