Chapter 51: Viral Mitochondria (Happy Mid-Autumn Festival!) )
Alan was stunned by what this insect face said, and then he reacted, it turned out that this guy regarded himself as his own kind. Thinking of this, Alan deliberately surged a faint layer of black qi on the surface of his body, looking like he was about to mutate.
"How's that, interested?" Wormface continued to invite, "It's really boring in this hellish place, and I can't talk to anyone." In the face of these inferior mutated creatures, I can't have the slightest interest in talking. As he spoke, the worm face collapsed, and the countless flesh worms re-condensed together, forming a platform-like object.
"Come up!"
Alan pondered for a moment and then jumped up, although he was a little hairy in his heart, but there were not many opportunities to talk to the conscious zombie graveyard like this. He has a lot of urgent problems to solve, so this talking zombie graveyard may be his best bet.
The speed of the swarm platform was not slow, and Alan sat on it, using the silver rod to look at the swarm world around him, always feeling itchy all over his body, until he simply stared ahead without squinting, which made him feel better. Eventually, the swarm platform stopped, and Eren found himself in the middle of the forest, and a huge void flowed out. Above the clearing, a huge flesh worm like a mountain crouched and moved. The skin color of the other dark gray flesh worms is that its body is pitch black, with a strong cuticle on the surface of the body, and a vent on each side of the abdomen, which spews air between one and the other.
The open space seems to be a forbidden area, and all the meat worms and money are parked on the periphery and dare not approach. Eren jumped down, and walked towards the giant flesh worm step by step.
Alan raised his head, the body of this meat worm was too large, and the top could hardly be seen, and the silver rod could only illuminate a small area, and the black behemoth brought Alan a great shock.
"We're finally meeting!"
The fleshworm's abdomen suddenly left, and a tentacle poked out, and an eyeball was born on the tip of the tentacle.
The eyeball was surrounded by countless blood vessels, rotating and growing on the tentacles, and when they saw Allen, their eyes kept looking at each other.
"You can call me a hive!" A deep voice rang in Alan's ears.
"My name is Alan!"
"Tut-tut, it's hard to imagine that a person of the same kind with such a powerful viral aura still maintains such a complete human form." The hive's eyeballs circled around Alan and looked closely, "You're special. ”
"Why, could it be that the appearance of the powerful virus infected person will all be abnormal?"
"Looks like you're still a rookie, have you just been infected? The modification of organisms by viruses is irreversible, and gigantic and specific are signs of the strength of viral infections. I believe that it will not be long before your body will change, and then you will understand what I am saying. ”
Alan asked tentatively, "But I'm too weak now, I need to be stronger." ”
"Get stronger, little one, you're in too much of a hurry!" The eyeball finally stopped looking and hovered directly in front of Allen, "Our evolutionary direction is very special, and my being a half-zombie graveyard is even more special. ”
"Can you tell me how I can get stronger?" Alan asked sincerely.
"Well, it's boring anyway. It's rare to have a smart guy who listens to me. Sometimes I think that human language is a fascinating thing! ”
Alan endured listening to a large part of the hive's praise and yearning for human language, and after a full twenty minutes, the hive said contentedly: "The evolution of the virus is accompanied by the evolution of the infected body. The most basic method of evolution is time, and over time, viruses will grow, grow, mutate in our bodies, and eventually become higher-level life forms. But this often takes a long time. It is less than ten years, more than decades, hundreds of years. ”
Allen immediately rejected this method, and after more than ten years, Raymond estimated that he would be able to create a legion to attack the Republic, and what he lacked most was time.
"The second method is dangerous, but it has the fastest results. As a newcomer, I need to tell you about an area of knowledge that has never been touched by mankind - viral mitochondria. This is the most fundamental component of the viral genetic nucleus and the driving force behind the evolution of the virus. In other words, it is the most fundamental factor in the evolution of viruses. ”
"Viral mitochondria are a very wonderful substance, which can only be obtained by devouring, fighting, and the accumulation of time as I mentioned at the beginning."
"I don't need to explain it, if you swallow the other party, you will get all the virus mitochondria stored in the other party's body, but this is extremely risky, if your virus source is weaker than the other party, it will be counter-swallowed......"
"The battle to get the mitochondria of the virus is a little more complicated. You know, our carrier is human, and only with human beings can we achieve a higher level of evolution. In the battle of life and death, the virus will stimulate the potential of human beings, squeeze all the energy in the human body, produce adrenaline, and at the same time produce chemical effects with the virus, and then breed viral mitochondria. By far the most risky devour, but also the most rewarding. Combat is a bit easier, so each zombie graveyard will infect humans in order to dig up elite units that can evolve through combat. ”
Alan listened carefully, then pulled up the list of abilities in his mind and observed carefully. For the time being, he can't see any problems, so he can only give up, but the so-called virus mitochondrial Alan really wants to know more, maybe this will be the most critical substance for his ability to unlock.
In this way, Alan accompanied the talking cemetery for a whole night, until the sky was bright. The huge hive began to curl up, and the insects of the entire dense forest rushed to its body, and then burrowed into the ground.
Eren didn't plan to attack the hive, because it was a zombie graveyard, but through a night's cliché, Eren already knew that it had long lost the ability to infect humans. Since merging with the giant flesh worm, it has become a complete hive, unable to do anything but derive flesh worms from its body, and its body is getting bigger and bigger, and even movement has become a problem. Fortunately, these flesh worms can absorb the fiber from the tree and feed it to it, so that it will not fail in its vitality.
"You're leaving?" The hive asked reluctantly, "Will you ever come back?" ”
Alan smiled: "Of course, because I have a strong enemy to deal with, I need your help!" ”
"Really?" The hive couldn't help but get excited, but after thinking about it, he said helplessly, "As far as I am now, I can scare and scare those bounty hunters." Speaking of combat effectiveness, do you expect a group of meat worms to do it? Is it disgusting to die? ”
Alan thought of the biofactory, and then remembered the mechanical biofusion gun, and he said with some excitement: "Trust me, you will become very powerful." But I need you to make a little sacrifice! Obey me! ”
"Obey you?" Hive raised her voice, "You're just a rookie. ”
"I can give you time to think about it, I'm going to be away for a few days, and when I come back, I want you to get an answer, whether to be trapped here for the rest of your life, or to be stronger with me." After Allen finished speaking, he raised his right hand, irregular black lines emerged, and the eyes of the hive widened, completely attracted by the power of the prototype virus.
Eren smiled and waved his hand, then rushed out of the dense forest, leaving only the nest in the huge clearing.
Alan is not joking, he needs this strength, although the hive is completely ineffective, but it has one thing that Eren needs most, that is, the ability to create.
Biofactories, as the name suggests, can be modified to process living organisms. Although hives can only produce meat worms today, Alan believes that self-aware hives have great potential. Moreover, Alan can use his prototype virus to re-infect it, and the ability of the nest master in the prototype can be inherited by the hive, and as the source of the virus, after being infected by Allen, the hive will not be able to get rid of Allen's control for life.
If the hive hadn't developed self-awareness, maybe Alan wouldn't have done it. But the self-aware hive has learned to think, to understand emotions, to experience the feeling of loneliness, and most importantly, it will also be afraid, and once it is re-infected, it will never dare to betray. That's what Alan needs!
Eren was extremely fast, and he completely ignored the mutated beasts along the way. Since the number of viral mitochondria can be boosted by fighting and devouring, Eren is ready to give it a try. He chose another zombie graveyard, about a day's journey away.
Fortunately, there was nothing wrong with the steam-powered car on the side of the road, and after starting, Alan stepped on the accelerator and drove along the main road towards the marked location on the map.
Alan was extremely excited along the way, and Kelly's makeover left him with nearly a month, and he had to make good use of it. The hive is one thing, but more importantly, he has to become stronger, at least one of his virus abilities to use against Kelly.
Finally, he was no longer confused about the road ahead, which made Allen feel good. Exercising for himself can make him more compatible with the virus, and in this way, he can not only improve his combat effectiveness, but also improve his physical fitness, and at the same time, it is possible to produce virus mitochondria in the mouth of the hive, killing three birds with one stone!
However, when Alan came to the target location when it was dark, he found a steam-powered car parked on the side of the road.
"There's a bounty hunter?" Alan couldn't help but frown. He drove the power car a little further away and hid it. Then he took his dagger and shotgun and took advantage of the darkness to start walking forward.
This time, the zombie graveyard appeared on top of a desolate town, and Alan walked slowly along the town's road, and a faint fire could already be seen in the distance, and he found a dilapidated house and flashed in. His strong sense of hearing allowed him to hear the words of the people beside the fire clearly.
"I didn't expect that the wanderer I pulled up with one hand would be finished like this." A deep voice rang out, "Damn zombies! ”
"What are you afraid of, let's join forces, I'm afraid that we won't be able to pull a team?"
"It's hard to get out of this situation......"
