Chapter 13: Accelerated Mutation
"Old Jiang, let's talk about it." Chief Yan handed over the topic to Director Jiang on the side.
Director Jiang nodded when he saw this, and he had already put away his trademark smile, and his face looked a little solemn.
"Little Brother Bai, I heard Lao Yan say your thoughts and suggestions yesterday, although it is just a few simple words, but I think it must not be simple, and it needs to be paid enough attention to us, unlike some people who thought it was a big fuss before."
Director Jiang also glanced at Chief Zhou next to him as he spoke, causing Chief Zhou to look away a little unnaturally, obviously they also had some disagreements before.
"Last night's test results further confirmed our thinking, and it is highly likely that it will be worse."
When Director Jiang said this, the muscles on his face trembled slightly, and it was obvious that the emotions in his heart were a little difficult to suppress.
After being silent for a moment and calming down a little, Director Jiang rubbed his face and said slowly:
"We found that the side effects of purple qi on animals other than humans were much greater than we imagined. After Lao Yan put forward your suggestions to us yesterday, we expanded the sample group and conducted in-depth research overnight, and then found the following serious problems. ”
"First of all, we used 2,000 species populations, of which 981 species with significant side effects were actually detected, which is basically consistent with the results of the study synchronized with the research teams in other countries."
"981? Close to half? Poplar was shocked, he had thought that the proportion of other creatures might be slightly higher than that of humans themselves, but he didn't expect it to be so much higher.
According to the number of cultivators awakened by human beings now, the proportion is not even one thousandth, which is a world of difference compared to the proportion of nearly 50%.
Director Jiang and the three of them also saw the drastic change in Baiyang's face, but they were not very surprised, presumably no one knew that such a result would be calm.
"Then why aren't there any such incidents of animals hurting people?" Poplar was surprised and asked his question.
"That's what I'm going to say next." Director Jiang continued:
"First of all, we have tested the animals that have been domesticated by humans into a separate category, such as cats and dogs, and found that the proportion of side effects of such animals is only about one percent; Moreover, the side effects we have detected are still only in a hidden state, simply put, they have not been manifested in appearance and specific behavior, so these organisms do not seem to be much different from the normal state at present. ”
"Then something will happen sooner or later." Bai Yang grasped the key point at once, and said with some concern.
"You're right, so we deduced and predicted what was going to happen next based on this idea, and we found a tipping point where things would get extremely bad as long as the side effects reached or breached."
"And how much time do we have?" Poplar continued to ask.
"Originally, we were optimistic that there would be at least one to two months left, but according to the results of the last few trials, this time is rapidly decreasing." Director Jiang threw another bombshell news to Poplar.
"They're accelerating, mutating?" Poplar felt a little incredible.
"If you understand them as mutations, that's true." Director Jiang said, his face becoming more and more heavy.
"How much time do we have?"
"Seven days have passed since the moment the purple qi touched the earth's creatures, and we only have two weeks left at most."
"Two weeks." Poplar muttered to himself in a somewhat distracted manner, which was several times shorter than the previous prediction.
The atmosphere seemed a little oppressive, and no one spoke again for a short time.
After a minute or two of silence, Poplar asked the next question he cared about.
"Elder Jiang, after breaking through the critical point, what kind of state will they be?"
Director Jiang listened to Bai Yang call him in such a more affectionate way, and the expression on his face was a little more relaxed.
"Based on the results of computer simulations, these creatures do become irritable, even towards people, as you say
No small threat. However, we have never seen this substance before, and there is too little experience to learn from, and we really can't judge the deeper impact. ”
"But one thing is for sure, the effect of purple qi on them is far more than just irritability." Director Jiang paused, and finally said the biggest worry in his heart.
"Of course, it's not just their personalities, it's their flesh and blood." Poplar nodded, thinking the same thing in his heart.
From this point of view, the effect of purple qi on other living beings is much greater than that of humans, which is not only manifested in the scope of influence, but also in the depth of influence.
If these "mutated" creatures were to be identified as cultivators of human beings, their physique would also undergo a drastic change, but the extent of this change is still unknown.
"Okay, old Jiang, you've finished the first half, but did you miss the important second half?" Chief Zhou, who had never spoken beside him, also reminded him with a rare opening at this time.
"Am I that forgetful?" Director Jiang rolled his eyes at Chief Zhou and said, "Isn't this giving Little Brother Bai some time to digest." ”
"It's okay, Jiang Lao, I can digest it, you can continue. And the leaders don't have to be so polite, just call me Poplar. Poplar smiled and nodded.
"Well, listen up to the poplars, and I'm going to talk about humanity itself." Director Jiang sat up, not as dignified and decadent as before.
"The effect of purple qi on human beings is not as simple as increasing lifespan, it may have a more profound impact on a very small number of people, such as improving the strength of the human body, increasing the extreme speed and agility of the human body, and the body's ability to resist blows. All this, in a nutshell, has improved the overall quality of the human body, developed the potential of the human body, and allowed the limit of human beings to reach a higher level. ”
"But because we only got individual cases, the sample size was too small to do more in-depth research." Director Jiang shook his head with some regret.
When Poplar learned about the so-called second half of the important content, he almost fell off his chair in shock.
Even if he used his imagination to the extreme today, he would not have thought that so much bombshell news would be bombarded today.
Because Poplar didn't expect that the research team would explore the deep impact of purple qi on human beings so thoroughly, then in other words, a small part of the secrets that human beings can practice will be revealed? Did they discover the secret hidden in the dantian?
Poplar had a lot of thoughts in his heart, and slowly closed his eyes, and then all kinds of information rolled back and forth in his mind.
After this period of cultivation, Bai Yang has found that his consciousness has also been greatly enhanced, and the most obvious feeling is that he is full of energy, and even the time to sleep at night has been greatly shortened, so that the extra time can be used to feed back into cultivation, thus forming a virtuous circle.
Therefore, the current Poplar is relying on his consciousness control that is stronger than ordinary people, and quickly calculates the next countermeasures. After a moment, Poplar opened his eyes, and his eyes had calmed down a lot.
It only took a minute or so before and after, and Poplar also thought a lot, including whether he wanted to tell the current truth, and what to do when the crisis really came.
Director Jiang and the three of them didn't bother, probably because they were afraid that Bai Yang wouldn't be able to accept so much amazing information for a while, so they gave him some more time to digest it.
"Chief Yan, Chief Zhou, and Elder Jiang." As if he had made a decision, Bai Yang said to the other three characters at the same time, "Actually, I am the kind of very few people that Jiang Lao said. ”
After Bai Yang finished speaking, the scene was silent, just when Bai Yang thought that everyone was shocked by what he said, Jiang Lao next to him suddenly laughed, and then pointed to the ugly face of Chief Zhou next to him and said: "Old Zhou, how is it, do you accept the loss?" ”
And Chief Yan was looking at the other two with a smile, and there was no trace of surprise on his face.
"Damn, I'm fooled." Poplar screamed in his heart.
"These three old guys turned out to be using their own words." Bai Yang looked at Jiang Lao, who was still laughing, and couldn't help but sigh, "Jiang is still old and spicy." ”
"Baiyang, I hope you don't blame, we are afraid that you will not tell the truth, so we made this decision, it should be your retribution for your routine last time, let's settle it, haha."
Chief Yan couldn't help but laugh heroically at this time, and only Bai Yang and Chief Zhou were left of the four people in the audience, one was in a daze, and the other was frowning and sighing.
After a while, the two of them gradually stopped laughing, and then they heard Chief Zhou's complaining voice say, "When is it, you two still have the heart to laugh like this." ”
Jiang Lao also patted Chief Zhou on the shoulder at this time, and said with a light smile: "People must always be optimistic, this is the biggest difference between us and other creatures." ”
Then he turned to Poplar and comforted, "Poplar, we didn't mean to do it on purpose. In fact, when Lao Yan first heard your advice, he knew that you kid must be extraordinary. Combined with the results of our research this time, I guess you are probably one of the very few people we think. ”
"But Lao Zhou, he just doesn't believe in evil, so I'll just make a bet with him." Jiang Lao said and looked at Chief Zhou who was pretending to be calm on the side.
"Yes, I still don't believe in this evil, I Zhou Changming has never lost a bet with you old guy, unless I try it myself."
But what I didn't expect was that Chief Zhou still insisted on his opinion, stood up with a look of refusal to admit defeat.
The other two looked at Poplar to see if he was willing to take the test.
Bai Yang also nodded helplessly at this time, stood up and walked in front of Chief Zhou, as if I was at your mercy.
Seeing this, Chief Zhou was not polite, stood still and put on a punch posture, and then bombarded Poplar's abdomen with a fierce fist.
Jiang and Lao on the side were also stunned when they saw this, but they didn't expect Lao Zhou to be so old-faced, and directly attacked the most fragile abdomen of the human body.
The two of them, who were originally determined in their hearts, also doubted whether Poplar could withstand this blow, after all, Lao Zhou was born in the army, and he could be regarded as a veritable practitioner.
However, the next moment, only hearing the sound of "bang", Chief Zhou's figure was directly taken a few steps back by the reaction force bomb, and only then could he unload a huge force from the iron-like body, avoiding injuring his right hand, and then his eyes were full of incredulity.
He himself knows very well how powerful this blow is, if it was an ordinary person to bear it, it is estimated that he would have foamed at the mouth and fell unconscious.
Looking at the aspen again, it was still in that posture, unmoved, as if nothing had happened just now.
