Chapter Eighty-Seven: Reversal
Helena watched her arm being devoured by the licker in an instant, and even though she knew that she could return to the original state by returning to space, she couldn't help but be angry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"You should feel lucky, if you dodged half a minute in the evening, what I swallowed just now was not your arm, but your beautiful head."
"Pretty head? Do lickers also have aesthetics? Helena endured the sharp pain from the broken arm and contracted the muscles above, with the strength of her reincarnation, it was not difficult to stop the bleeding in just a few seconds.
Although this muscle contraction exacerbated her pain, there was no other choice now.
"I'm originally made of humans, what's wrong with having a human aesthetic?"
The licker's answer was quite surprising.
"Do you remember that you were modified by humans?" Helena was surprised.
Although the licker is a product of the human being injected with the T virus, there is a high mortality rate in the transformation process, and some of those who survive will also have a mental breakdown because the transformation process is too painful, and even if the transformation is successful, they will become the walking dead, relying on instinct and the chip implanted by the umbrella company to drive the behavior.
But the one in front of me is obviously different.
Not only does it have a human way of thinking, human behavior, and a human appearance, but it also retains the aesthetics of a human being, and it seems that even the memories of his own transformation have been preserved, but I don't know how much has been preserved.
"I forgot about it, but there's a little trouble here." The human licker gently tapped his head twice with his near-human fingers, and continued, "The chip has activated the forbidden program, causing us to have a huge mutation. Some have special organs that produce plasma balls, some have the ability to control the earth system, and some have undergone physical changes. And my mutation is the brain. β
The human brain is an extremely complex organ, even with the current level of science and technology, the study of the human brain is still in an extremely superficial field, from the perspective of reincarnation space, the development and research of the human brain is barely even just stepping into the threshold.
It's just that I didn't expect that the taboo program in the chip turned the licker's brain upside down, so that it regained its wisdom and had unexpected abilities.
"So, the mental attack on the iron-blooded arbiter before is also your masterpiece?" Helena suddenly thought of a previous detail.
"Nonsense, who else can do this but me, whose brain is fully developed?"
"Now that you've restored the memories of humanity, why bother us? Shouldn't your real enemy be the remnants of the umbrella companies that captured you and forcibly injected you with the T-virus? Helena asked sharply.
"You're right, they are indeed my enemies, and they are the ones who attack first. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is Jason. β
That's what he called when he was human.
"Jason, I advise you, you haven't done us any fundamental damage yet, stop it, our reinforcements are about to arrive......"
"Do you mean the guy who killed Director Rafe?"
"Director Rafe?" Helena quickly remembered that this name was not the name of the director of one of the three major research institutes. "I didn't expect Yun Qi to have solved another director. In that case, there is no need for you to embarrass us. β
"Who said that? I really don't have a deep grudge against you, but you were a little negligent. β
"What?" The reason why Helena showed nervousness was not because she was afraid of her broken arm, in fact, even if she cut off an arm, the licker who called herself "Jason" was no match for her, even if its current strength was several times stronger than that of her subordinates.
The only thing I was worried about was the safety of the two girls.
Because of this, she would rather waste time and Jason talking nonsense than tear her face right away.
"As I said before, because of the death of our director, the forbidden program of the chip in our brain was activated, and the reason why it is called the 'forbidden program' is because the cost of activating it is very huge, at the cost of consuming our life force and lifespan, accelerating our evolution. Even if I let you go now, I won't survive today. β
"That's why you're going to kill us? Aren't you going to take revenge on the remnants of the umbrella before you die? Helena never gave up persuasion.
"Haha, you're so naΓ―ve, if it's that simple, why would I risk going into the core of the castle first and wasting time with you? To tell you the truth, I have a way of increasing the life I consume. That arm of yours is my chance to live. β
Helena was stunned, not understanding the meaning of her words for a moment.
"To put it simply, I can absorb your genes to make up for the genetic collapse caused by my forced evolution." Jason explained.
At this moment, Helena finally understood why she wanted a drop of her own blood just now.
It turned out that in the stalemate, in order to confirm one of Jason's conjectures, Helena was coerced to drip blood.
This is also why Jason later desperately ordered his subordinates to sneak attack Helena, and even did not hesitate to use important hostages as bargaining chips to force her to give up dodging, and when he was saving people, he attacked Helena and cut off an arm.
"In that case, let them go, and let me fight you to the death here." Helena suggested.
Jason thought for a moment and said, "Okay." β
"Get out of here." Helena pointed to the only exit behind them, motioning for them to get out of here.
"What about you......" Nya had already gotten up from the ground, she had been trampled by the licker just now, and she couldn't move, but fortunately, the licker didn't seem to want her to die.
Nia struggled to pick up Mei Daizi, ready to leave here according to Helena's wishes.
But before she could run a few steps, she felt a sharp stabbing pain in her brain, as if her brain had been pierced by a seven-eight-point steel needle, and the pain made her lose consciousness and fall to the ground.
Mei Daizi was also dragged to the ground, and she couldn't get up for a while.
"What are you doing?" Helena roared.
"As I said, I have to absorb powerful genes to repair my own collapsing gene chain, and you are the best delicacy and they are the back-up. After absorbing all your genes, I believe I can increase my life span by several years. β
"Then you pass me first!" Enraged by the other party's shameless behavior, Helena stepped forward despite the pain of her broken arm.
But Jason is also undergoing a huge change after absorbing her severed arm.
