Chapter 56: The Harvest
Getting into the steam-powered car, Alan leaned back in the saddle and was silent for a long time. When living humans were killed in front of his eyes, Alan finally realized the horror of mutated creatures infected by the virus, and human life was as fragile as glass.
In his mind, the chaotic fragments of memories kept splicing together, but unlike the tearing pain before, this time Alan did not feel any pain, because all the memory fragments were shared by the reticulated virus power machine in his body in turn, so that Alan could freely view the fragments of memories without even any feeling.
He can see how the split person is from an ordinary modified person, invaded by the virus step by step, and finally loses himself and becomes a zombie. He can also see how the Splinter escaped again and again under the pursuit of human bounty hunters, gnawed flesh and blood, accumulated strength, and finally broke through to become a high-level zombie in one fell swoop, and then occupied a cemetery as his own territory. The number of humans who have died at its hands is as high as thousands, and the number of people killed by ordinary zombies indirectly due to its orders is incalculable.
"Maybe my infection is an opportunity, and I'm destined to be the terminator of these zombies." Alan took one look at the burning town, then started the car and drove onto the road.
Putting aside this heavy memory, Allen's harvest is still very rich. Among them, the perfect fusion of viruses and the creation of a link network of virus power machines is Allen's biggest gain. In addition to better producing prototype viruses, Allen also found that each virus power machine is like a miniature consciousness body, and this network link is like a collection of countless human brains running at ultra-high speeds. Not only can Eren multitask, but he can also give orders to these individual virus powerhouses. However, at the moment, his abilities are limited, and there are only three virus power machines that can be controlled at the same time. An Allen is used to direct the body to drive. The other began to absorb and analyze the huge amount of virus energy that split people. And the last one, Allen uses it to think independently and crack the secrets of the virus mitochondria, as for his main consciousness, it is better to sleep for a while......
Several hours have passed, and the viral mitochondria of the prototype have finally gained some eyebrows. The mitochondria of the Split Man virus have been completely cracked and absorbed, and all the viral energy of the Split Man has been converted into ordinary mitochondria by Allen and stored. For prototype viruses, ordinary mitochondria can be converted into viral mitochondria exclusive to prototypes according to a certain ratio.
In one unit, there are 10,000 mitochondria that divide people. However, Alan was not very happy, because he found that the viral mitochondria of the prototype had a ridiculously high demand for energy, and the input of 10,000 mitochondria only gave birth to a hundred prototype virus mitochondria, and the exchange ratio reached a terrifying 100 to 1.
Such a high input and extremely low output made Alan a little depressed. He carefully opened the list of abilities in his mind, and sure enough, after possessing the virus mitochondria, Alan found that each list of abilities would be followed by specific unlock conditions. Most of them are directly unlocked using prototype virus mitochondria, while some special ability advancements require specific viral biological mitochondria to match.
Allen's face instantly collapsed when he focused his attention on the specific number, whether it was ability, movement, or survival, the first upgrade of each of the advanced levels in the drop-down list required a thousand units of prototype virus mitochondria...... After looking at the one hundred prototype virus mitochondria that had been stored, Alan silently withdrew from the list of abilities. For now, it seems that he still needs to eliminate at least nine graveyards with high-level zombies before he can get together a privilege to upgrade and unlock.
With a sigh of relief, Alan can only return to the hive for the time being!
When Eren saw the hive's massive body again, a sincere smile appeared on his face. Presumably, the hive has already made a decision, and is anxiously waiting for him at the moment. The eyeball at the top of the tentacle widened after seeing Allen, although the hive is no longer able to infect humans, but because of this, it has a more powerful perception than other infected bodies, even if Allen is well hidden, but the hive still found the powerful suffocating virus breath in the other party's body.
"You...... It's getting stronger! The voice of the hive sounded a little uneasy, at first it regarded Alan as a rookie who had just been infected and had not had time to mutate his body, but in the blink of an eye, this rookie in his eyes had turned into a powerful virus infected. Alan was right, after opening the wisdom, the hive was endowed with more feelings, and it would be scared, because the other side of Eren was stronger than it expected.
"It's just a fluke, so what about it, have you figured it out?" Alan asked, looking into the eyeball at the tip of the tentacle.
"I want to know, how do you treat me!" The hive has unconsciously used honorifics.
Alan stretched out his right hand, and the pitch-black mist wrapped in the black irregular lines jumped: "I will infect you a second time, and then open up a planned path for you, you just need to evolve according to a specific route." ”
The hive fell into deep thought, but it only took a minute for the eyeball on the tentacle to meet Allen's gaze: "Okay, I accept your second infection, and I hope you can lead me to the ultimate evolutionary path." ”
"Don't worry, you'll see more than you ever imagined!"
Alan said as he took a step forward, black irregular lines sticking out from his fingertips, the hive completely gave up resistance, and the heavy insect armor was lifted open, revealing the soft flesh inside. The black lines easily pierced through the hive's skin and pierced directly into its body.
The hive's size is so large that it would be impossible to completely infect it even by draining all the prototypes from Alan's body. So Alan thought of an extremely bold method, he extracted a virus power machine from his body, and injected it into the body of the hive, and at the same time he used the virus mitomaline to construct a new virus circulation system centered on the virus power machine.
The hive looked at the virus power machine that had taken root in the deepest part of its body in amazement, and began to frantically consume the energy stored by the hive itself, and began to spread more and more prototype viruses.
Eren withdrew his right hand, it was a wonderful feeling, although the virus power machine was out of his body, it could share all the internal conditions of the hive. Now, Eren has completely become the controller of the hive's body, and even the control authority of the hive is one level lower than him.
"What an unexpected bonus!" Alan observed that the missing virus power machine had already been replenished, although it was smaller than the others, but it would not be long before enough energy was absorbed, and this virus power machine would become the same size as the others.
At this moment, in Allen's eyes, the body of the hive has been completely parsed into a three-dimensional virus model. It can be seen that the black area centered on the virus power machine has begun to gradually spread towards all parts of the hive's body. And due to the large amount of energy consumed, the huge body of the hive began to shrink, and the many energy substances that had been accumulated became the huge body of the hive, but at this moment, these bodies were ruthlessly decomposed.
What the prototype has to do is very simple, not only to completely infect the hive, but also to choose a form that is most suitable for the positioning of the hive, otherwise the bloated flesh worm has no combat effectiveness at all, and it does not even have the ability to protect itself.
"Ahh
The hive let out a scream, the energy withdrawal made it miserable, and its body had been overloaded by the sudden energy withdrawal due to the fact that it had not done any refining before. Cracks began to appear on the thick beetle.
Alan frowned, the hive under the virus model has reached its limit, and all parts of the body are likely to burst. At this moment, in order to save itself, the hive let out a terrible roar, and countless gray flesh insects in the woods rushed towards its body frantically.
One after another, the meat worms frantically burrowed into the body of the hive, and even began to bite, and for a while, the entire huge insect body was covered with dense meat worms. Although the scene was extremely terrifying, Alan found that in the virus model, the body of the hive had stabilized and was slowly undergoing a metamorphosis.
Countless flesh worms suddenly exploded, and the gray rotten flesh wrapped the huge worm nest, and the successive explosions brought a series of piercing sounds, and in just a few minutes, all the meat worms in the entire dense forest exploded, turning into a thick gray cuticle to wrap the worm nest.
At this time, the virus model finally began to change, and under Allen's gaze, the size of the hive shrank repeatedly shrank, and at the same time, the shape began to change, and it began to develop towards the shape of a human. Alan couldn't help but be a little worried, after becoming a human form, how could this guy take on the responsibility of a biological factory, but now is not the time to pursue this, if evolution fails, then all of Allen's plans will become empty talk.
The huge flesh worm began to shrink in size under the sturdy cuticle, and finally shrank to a diameter of less than three meters before gradually stabilizing, and then sticky tentacles shot out of the silkworm chrysalis-like hive, anchoring it to the ground.
"It seems that this evolution will bring quite a few surprises." In Allen's line of sight, the virus model had been basically constructed, and the hive took on the shape of a female body, and a string of words appeared in the center of the model.
"Seventy-one hours, fifty-nine minutes and fifty-nine seconds left until the evolution is complete!"
