Why did it fail?

Because of the excitement of the target, a large amount of adrenaline is released, as well as other hormones that cause the central nervous system to contract. Of course, putrefaction hormones are also produced in this process. But it appears because of the pleasurable effect of drugs in it. This involves two different states of mind. The former is fear, the latter is excitement. In short, if you want to successfully extract the putrid hormone in the required proportion, after injecting the drug solution, the fear xù of the extraction target must be about 50 percent less than the excitement xù. If the contrast ratio is lower, 40%, 30, 20 ...... Then the amount of putrid hormone obtained will be higher. On the other hand, if the fear is higher than 50%, it will not be possible to obtain the required putrid hormone, and the quality will be extremely poor.

In addition to fear, other negative thoughts can also affect the quality of putrid hormones.

For example, anger.

Such as hatred.

Dark creatures are sapient, and although they are slow and clumsy, they possess similar or even identical thinking abilities as humans. Fresh meat can make them excited, and although the corpse is not afraid of death, it will roar in anger when the meat reaches its mouth is snatched. Just like now, the corpse nailed to the rock wall kept yelling at Su Hao. It couldn't move, and could only watch as a living person sat in front of it. For the corpse, this torture is simply unbearable.

Every captured corpse is in the same situation. Zombies on Earth are different from them. The zombies' thinking abilities are weakened to the extreme, and the fresh flesh and blood have the same stimulating effect on them, but they do not produce anger or the like. At best, they become stubborn, and whatever they do is to eat. Even if you are cut off and pressed to the ground, you will only feel that there is a living person on your back that can be used as food, and you will never think that you have been caught, let alone have other alternative thoughts.

The lightning under the night made Su Hao think of another possibility.

Of course, ideas are just ideas, and even if you follow them, the chances of failure are still very high, even far greater than the current practice.

Su Hao didn't see it that way.

Anyway, there is only so much left of Lavonin, and sooner or later it will run out, and he still has to return to Redstone City to resupply, so why not give it a try now?

Su Hao spread out a waterproof rain cloth on the ground and lowered the corpse who had lost his limbs from the rock wall. He grabbed the back of the corpse's neck and held it face down. The corpse man couldn't roll, so he couldn't see Su Hao pull open his backpack, open a sealed box, and take out a sharp and delicate scalpel from it.

Cut open the flesh of the corpse from behind, revealing the spine bones. The blade went upwards and cut the scalp in a straight line along each side. Su Hao didn't make much effort, and pushed most of the corpse's scalp away. When he finished this qiē, he took out the small bone saw from the box, pressed the button, and the saw blade with gears began to fly around, making a piercing and noisy roar.

The entire vertebrae are sawn open from the middle, revealing a bright red medulla. The saw edge was in order, cutting all the way into the skull, and the terrible cutting sound was tooth-sore, but Su Hao was unmoved, his eyes were fixed on the sawn corpse head. He was careful not to hurt the corpse's brain. When the skull is slowly lifted along the edge of the ear and the gap between the cranial roof, the pink brain is still intact, covered with a faint membrane.

The split bones had no effect on the corpse. It is still fixed to the ground. These synthetic lifeforms do not feel pain, and most of their perception of fear comes from their own kindred, i.e., higher-level dark creatures. It just wondered, wondering why this human wanted to dissect its own body? My mind is also full of cravings for fresh meat.

Su Hao took out the emergency light from his backpack, removed the base, and led out two wires from the battery slot. This kind of emergency light belongs to the cheapest electrical equipment, two acid-soluble batteries can be used for a long time, and the price in the market is very low, although the old resentful woman who sold the goods asked for five copper plates, Su Hao still only gave two counteroffers. After arguing like a quarrel, the old resentful woman had to accept Su Hao's offer, and also gave a pair of acid-soluble batteries.

This simple power device does not require much energy. Even more acid-soluble batteries combined would not produce a powerful current that could kill people. Either way, they're batteries, and as long as the positive and negative electrodes are turned on, they can produce a numbing electrical stimulation.

Su Hao directly inserted the wire stripped of the plastic skin into the back of the bare corpse's head. The current touched Su Hao's fingertips, and it was slightly itchy. The direct touch to the brain immediately produced a remarkable effect, the corpse's eyes suddenly straightened, his mouth involuntarily grew, and his facial muscles began to tense, as if he saw something that interested him, and his attention was instantly focused, and there was no superfluous thought.

Su Hao wasted no time in quickly taking out the syringe and slowly injecting a tube of Lavonine solution into the corpse's brain. The intense stimulating effect of the drug made the corpse's face turn pale, and his head and body shook violently like chaff. This effect was not much different from Su Hao's imagination, he suppressed the strong excitement, stabilized the syringe with a trembling hand, and pulled the piston back hard.

The walls of the tube are filled with gray-white fluid, but it is not the greasy white that accounts for most of the brain fluid content, but the color is relatively transparent, but it looks dirty gray. As the tube of fluid was drawn from the brain, the corpse's high head was lowered. When Su Hao pulled out the needle vigorously, the depths of the corpse's pupils had completely lost their brilliance, and his head was tilted and he fell down heavily.

The sudden lightning inspired Su Hao.

In the future time and space of the earth, the success rate of putrid hormone extraction is too low, which is also a headache for everyone. At that time, Wang Qinian's research showed that controlling the emotions of mutated organisms was the key to determining the success rate of extraction. The Academy of Sciences has conducted countless experiments for this purpose, but it is difficult to control the specific dosage and injection time of the drug. They inject sedatives into mutant organisms, and in the end, they only get the slightly better putrid hormones than the inferior ones. Because each mutant creature is different, their original bloodline genes, weight, living environment, growth time, etc., all determine that the amount of sedative must be accurate. In addition, even mutated organisms of the same appearance can be parasitized by different viruses and have more than two species genes at the same time, or simply only one. In this case, if you want to study different mutated organisms, the number of experiments must be infinitely magnified by geometric multiples, and it is impossible to obtain accurate numbers.

What's more, mutated organisms are always evolving. Over a three-month period, there are huge differences in the constitution and structure of the mutated organisms. Even if the experiment was successful three months ago, the correlation number could not be applied to three months later. The Academy of Sciences undertakes many research projects, and it is naturally impossible to devote all its efforts to the production of putrefaction hormones.

The situation in the third stage of the world is very different from that of the earth. The structure of the corpses here is very stable, and there is no incentive for them to mutate suddenly. Su Hao didn't carry a sedative with him, and the current emitted by the acid battery was not too strong, so of course it was impossible to have a paralyzing effect on the corpse. However, the same effect can be achieved by removing the skin and muscles of the corpse, sawing open the bones, and causing the electric current to act directly on the central nervous system.

According to different extraction qualities, putrefaction hormones are divided into three qualities: excellent, excellent and general. Of course, this is only for putrid hormones that meet the extraction criteria, and does not include inferior products extracted from brain fluid. In the Imperial Market, even "average" quality putrefaction hormones cost around 800 gold coins per milligram. Converted to a standard unit of use (ten milligrams), that's 8,000 Imperial Gold Coins.

This is the guide price for precious commodities listed by the Reich Treasury for the previous year. In other words, this is the official purchase price of the Empire for general quality putrid hormones. Once it enters the market circulation, this price will rise by at least about 20 percent. In short, if Su Hao wanted to buy a standard unit of putrid hormone from a regular channel without any big man's care, he would need to pay at least tens of thousands of gold coins.

You can think of this process as a fruit wholesaler buying apples in bulk from growers for five cents per kilogram, and then spending two cents for packaging, refrigeration, and shipping. These apples, which cost only seven cents, are then sold to retailers by wholesalers for two yuan. When you see the cute red apples on the fruit stall and can't help but go up and ask the price, you will be told: "Apples cost five yuan a catty, not two prices." ”

In terms of appearance, these putrid hormones extracted by Su Hao are between "good" and "average" quality. According to the grading criteria of the third stage of the world, it can barely be classified as "excellent". Still, it was enough for Su Hao. He almost couldn't wait to take out the blue spar from his backpack, as well as all kinds of materials that had been prepared for a long time, and nervously began to prepare gamma-level genetic potions.

The finished potion glows with an intoxicating bluish sheen in the firelight. Su Hao rolled up the sleeve on his left arm and puffed up his muscles hard, and the surface of his wrist soon protruded dark blood vessels. The moment he plunged the syringe needle hard, Su Hao felt that every muscle in his body was trembling, and his excitement almost burned his brain dry.

The effect of injection is better than that of oral administration. The so-called "advantages and disadvantages" are actually only reflected in the transformation time of the drug to the individual who takes it. Due to direct fusion with the bloodstream, the injection time is usually about 30% shorter than that of oral administration. This is the third stage world, a wilderness off the beaten track. Who knows if there will be danger in the next second? Su Hao himself is also the target of the Haisen family's extremely rewarding hunt, as long as he has the opportunity, he will spare no effort to make himself strong, and he will never waste even a second.

There is a very strong burning sensation. It was as if a fire was burning in the veins, and it was rushing up wildly along the nerve centers and into the depths of the brain. Another clear feeling of coldness accompanied it, the flames were suppressed, but they were not willing to fail and were still fighting back frantically. A strong tingling sensation was released from inside every cell, and Su Hao felt as if there were countless needles pricking him. Not from the outside to the inside, but from the inside to the outside. The entire body was completely evacuated in a very short period of time, and a new force quickly filled it. This feeling is so strange, so painful, but so comfortable, Su Hao has never experienced it before, and he can't imagine it at all.

Su Hao saw that deep in the rain curtain outside the cave, a poor beetle was curled up in the grass, surrounded by dozens of ants, biting hard. The beetle's tentacles have been broken, and its identity has been split into several pieces. The ants abandoned the hard armor and attacked the soft, fleshy body. The rain was blocked by dead weeds, and the ants went down the mud holes under the grass roots. This scene happened more than thirty meters away, Su Hao did not use the tentacles of thinking consciousness, but completely relied on the naked eye, and saw the tragedy behind the mixed grass and trees.

"That's what I'm capable of...... That's what I do? ”

The effect of the potion transformation has disappeared, and looking at the constantly shaking bonfire in front of him, Su Hao suddenly felt an indescribable strangeness. He stretched out his right index finger and drew a circle in the air. The invisible circle immediately showed a fiery red halo. It's shallow, it's bright, it's short-lived, it's just a matter of seconds, and then it's all gone. But Su Hao had already seen clearly, it was the trajectory of the flames, they could be manipulated by themselves, and they only needed one thought in their minds to release a faint flame.

It was a power he had never used. Su Hao felt that the ingredients of fire were all around him. As long as there is oxygen to maintain combustion, the key to producing a flame is nothing more than a certain node that meets the combustion standard. Although it was only like a flash of starlight, it was enough to trigger a furious sea of fire that destroyed it.

This is, of course, just imagination. With Su Hao's current ability, at most, he could only emit a little spark, and he couldn't even wave his hand to burn a flame. This is a difference in physique, but also a gap in ability.

Various abilities have been comprehensively improved, especially in the brain, and the memory reading ability of foreign ingested cells has become more powerful. Su Ziming, whom Su Hao had devoured before, and some of the human flesh he ate when he came to the third stage world, a lot of hidden information began to appear in his mind.

Humans and dark creatures in this world have the same levels of ability. The different stages of evolution are only the most superficial terms. According to the rules established by the Human Power and the Dark Monarch during the Great Extinction Battle Array, they are respectively called the soldier rank, the soldier rank, the general rank, and the king rank, corresponding to the second, third, fourth, and fifth evolutionary ranks. Each level is subdivided into 10 levels.

There is no specific grading of the first-order evolutionary physique. Because it's simply not necessary. In the third stage world, the vast majority of humans and dark creatures are born with a strengthened physique, and as long as they are adults, they all have first-order evolutionary strength. The contrast between strength and weakness only starts from the second stage, and only when you really reach the second level of evolutionary ability can you truly integrate into this world.

This kind of information is not understood by everyone. For example, the civilians, the fat woman who wanted to ravage Su Hao before, the cousin Sam and the bartender Mo Le in the tavern, and even the lowest-level corpse among the dark creatures, did not have a very clear concept of the word "strength level". They only know that there are many powerful guys in this world, but in terms of specific standards, it is the evolution level from one to five.

It's not that hard to understand. It's like the occasional news in the newspaper that someone has won a martial arts championship, or a martial arts champion. The vast majority of people just use it to pass the boring time and occasionally look at it, and only a few people who are really interested in it will pay attention. This is the difference between "general" and "interest". The former attaches much more importance to oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, chai, rice and tea than the latter, but the latter regards things such as martial arts and martial arts as very important. In terms of details, the latter must be more aware of the rules of martial arts competitions, classifications and other details than the former, and the former will know a general idea at most, but will not take the time and effort to learn more.

Su Hao's previous cellular memories obtained by "devouring" from different people were almost based on the same principle. Of course, Su Ziming is the most unique of them. The reason why its cellular memory seemed vague was entirely due to the fact that the level gap between Su Hao's physique and the dark killer at that time was too large.

Su Ziming's physique is equivalent to the fourth-level evolution standard, which is the so-called "general level". In front of it, Su Hao is not comparable at all. However, Su Ziming was devoured by Su Hao, whose comprehensive ability was only level two. Of course, there is a special factor of Haig's blood, but more importantly, it is because Su Ziming is not a real dark nobleman, but a killer in the dark world.

The reason why it is called "general" level is not only that it has reached the fourth-level evolution standard in terms of physique. Taking the dark nobles as an example, they must have the corresponding special abilities, as well as the ability of bloodline, genes and other aspects to reach level 4 in order to be called "general". Whether it is the multiple-born knight Deweis, who was sniped by Su Hao's shot, or the dark killer Su Ziming, there are the same factors that are biased in a certain aspect and defective in a certain aspect. After all, one's own defense capability is also one of the criteria for becoming a "general". What's more, Su Hao also has a mental consciousness detection ability that no one in the third stage world can compare.

Therefore, Su Hao devoured Su Ziming, but only got a piece of blue spar.

If it's a dark creature that really has a "general"-level ability, its spar should at least be purple.

Another reason why the cellular memory obtained after phagocytosis has zài errors is the gravitational environment of the third stage world. Su Hao can suppress Saka the Ripper on the Red Dragon Planet, also because of environmental factors. This point cannot be controlled by him, nor can he change it, he can only improve it as his strength continues to increase.
