Chapter 42: The Apocalypse Project
A vigorous and powerful voice came from afar: "Stop Qida!
The burly man in armor up to two meters high followed the voice, he raised the heavy toothed blade giant axe in his hand and pointed at Lei Shen and said, "You also stop, thank you for your mercy just now, I will take you to meet the leader." ”
The young orc named Qida was a little reluctant to hear it, "Payne, he's ......"
"Roar~~ No, it's Kida! This is the meaning of the leader, we just need to execute it!" Payne angrily turned around and roared at Zida, his fangs swelling out of excitement.
Chida's body shrank and quickly returned to his human form, and he knelt down and bowed his head and said yes.
Led by the two of them, Ray walked through the ruins to a well-preserved building.
"Go in, the chief is waiting for you inside. ”
Ray nodded and stepped in, even though it was daylight.
"Finally when you come back, you can witness this moment, and your life is not in vain, hehehehe. In the darkness, an old tired and excited voice echoed.
Ray caught the source of the voice and said as he moved, "You've seen me, why can't I remember anything, can you please tell me what happened before?"
"Don't worry, I'll tell you, let me see you, I've forgotten what you look like. A light rose and illuminated the hall.
Ray finally saw a thin old man sitting softly on the seat at the other end of the hall, and the moment he saw Lei, his eyes flashed with excitement.
"Heh, you really haven't changed at all as I guessed! There has been no sign of old age for decades, can you come here, I want to really touch this miracle!" the old man stretched out his trembling hand expectantly.
Ray sensed that the old man had no ill will towards him and walked over.
The clawed hand pulled his hand down, motioned for him to crouch, and rubbed his face tremblingly with his rough, speckled hand.
"It's perfect, I can feel every cell alive, is this the body of God?!" the old man sighed in distraction.
Ray couldn't help but ask, "What is a god body, where did I come from, and what happened while I was asleep?"
"Another name for the Perfect Gene Body, because only legendary gods have such a body, and I don't know much about your origins, we are only the inheritors of the 'Apocalypse' project, and there are few people who know all of your past. ”
The old man slowly looked up at the ball of light suspended in the air, and his thoughts returned to his energetic youth.
He told Ray that his name was Ephes Carlo, and that he was formerly a Ph.D. in genetic research from the Firas family.
In fact, the Firas family has a long heritage, and it was already a prosperous family in the old era.
When Carlo's strength and loyalty were confirmed, the head of the family took him to a private, well-guarded forbidden place.
It was the first time Carlo had seen a sample of the perfect genome, a living heart beating in a bottle of solvent!
It was also from that time that he heard about a great idea from the old days, the Apocalypse Project.
The content of the 'Apocalypse Project' is to transplant perfect genetic duplications into humans, but unfortunately there was a barrier to deciphering the gene locks at that time, and the huge data was too large for even the supercomputer fleets of the old era to handle.
Before the outbreak of the war, only a small stage of decipherment had been completed, and the core data was only known to a few people.
Luckily, the Filas family was able to get their hands on some of the data and a complete perfect genetic sample.
For the next ten years, Carlo was only responsible for one thing, which was to decipher the perfect gene, and as the data accumulated, he saw a truth that made him tremble - that is, Ray's genes could not be copied!
Carlo found that Ray's genetically encoded exons and inner molecules did not have a fixed value, and there was no fixed value for the huge data of hundreds of billions!
This is the existence of supernatural laws, and he knows that it is the forbidden area of God!
He tried to persuade the head of Firas's family to give up his research, but was severely refused, and even threatened the safety of his family to force him to continue research.
In desperation, Carlo had no choice but to open up another field of research, intercepting Ray's gene fragments and implanting them in the human body.
After several years of research, there was an amazing breakthrough, the first batch of implanted test subjects consisted of ten men and women, all of whom were ordinary humans with no abilities before the test.
After being injected with genetic drugs, all of them gave birth to different abilities, and their growth rate quickly soared to the level of Tier 5 in less than a year, and unfortunately all the test subjects died due to the collapse of the gene chain.
Although this experiment ended in failure, it would have been enough to go down in history if it had been in the old days!
Carlo is also confident that he can find a way to stabilize the gene chain, but he also has his own worries about what will happen if the news spreads in a world that is already in turmoil.
It's all horrible!
In the end, he was persuaded by the devil in his heart, and he couldn't bear to waste any research he had spent more than ten years on research.
A year later he began a second trial, again ten people.
The result this time was quite satisfactory, there were five people who survived for two years, all of them broke through the 5th order, and one survived for more than 5 years, and finally died in the war with the Murphy family, when he was already a powerhouse of the 6th order.
If the Filas family were given a little more time, the pattern of the war would definitely be two completely different outcomes.
It is precisely because of this that Filas sees genetic medicine as the only hope for the market.
However, for various reasons, the Firas family still declined and died, and Carlo kept his oath to protect this place.
"How did you know I was here?" Ray asked Carlo.
"I sense that you are approaching, in fact, I am also one of the plagiarists of your ability, and those orcs outside are also genetically modified from you, they are my most proud creations, not only survive, but also keep evolving and genetic. A strange smile appeared on Carlo's dry face, like a rag full of scars being pulled hard.
Seeing that Ray didn't speak, he continued: "I've lived for 81 years, if I hadn't transplanted the heart of perpetual motion, I would have died a long time ago, it was the heart that originally belonged to you, and it has always existed quietly in my body, until two years ago, it suddenly rejected, I know that his master has awakened, and when you get close to the ruins, the heart of eternal motion almost bursts out, so I know you are coming." ”
Ray looked at Carlo's weak appearance, and couldn't hold a grudge against him at all.
"Aren't you afraid that I'll kill you?"
"There's nothing to be afraid of, even if you don't do it, I won't live long, just take it as a little redemption before death, I just hope you don't embarrass those people outside, they are just victims of this era. Carlo said with a wry smile.
Ray had some confusion in his head, like Nock once said that people are sometimes happier when they are confused than when they are sober.
He sighed and turned to leave, he couldn't do anything about Carlo in front of him, even though he knew that the Heart of Eternal Motion was very important to him.
"Wait, Ray, come here, trust me, I won't harm you. Carlo said in a pleading tone.
Ray turned around and saw that he was holding a blood-dripping heart in his hand, and when the heart beats, Ray's whole body beats to the rhythm.
The sudden and intense desire made Ray unable to keep himself close.
Carlo's other hand lit up with a white light, and Ray felt a heat in his chest, and when he looked down, Carlo already had an extra heart in his hand, the one that was originally in his chest.
He didn't feel the pain or see the wound, and he couldn't figure out how Carlo had done it.
Carlo shoved the Perpetual Heart into Ray's chest in the same way.
"Puff"
The first time the heart of eternal motion beat in Lei's body, it seemed that a giant drum was hammered fiercely between heaven and earth.
Ebkendi of the Principality of Light put down the scroll in his hand and looked in the direction of the Lost City, the sleeping Bishop Kevin's fingers also trembled, the guy in the abyss of the ruins of Kano became irritable, and the superiors of the entire world received a warning signal at the same time.
An Zifeng and Ding Ran felt the energy in their bodies surging like a sea at the same time, almost torn apart by this sudden vast power.
Everyone in the Winter Throne saw that the two of them were pale and sweaty, and they all gathered around to ask with concern, and Christina pushed away the crowd like crazy, walked to him, and stretched out her hand to point on the foreheads of the two.
She made sure there were no problems with the two of them, and then she let out a long sigh of relief and asked, "What happened? Why did you suddenly become weak like this?"
An Zifeng knew that she was so worried because Lei had a soul contract with them, and she must have thought that Lei was in danger just now, which made her mess up.
"It's okay, don't worry about Christina, just now I felt an unbearable surge of power, I guess it's the impact of the boss's breakthrough rank, I've had similar experiences before, but it's not as strong as this time. An Zifeng comforted her.
Ding Ran was enjoying this Liana hug, and when he heard him say this, he glanced at him fiercely and said, "What's fine, I feel all over my body, this, this, this, and here all hurt." Oops......"
Hearing him say this, Liana knew that this guy was fine, she took out a short knife from her waist, turned it between her slender hands, and asked with a smile, "What do you say is uncomfortable? I'll treat you!"
Huh~~, Ding Ran gasped and immediately jumped up and said energetically, "Hey, it's really strange, it's okay now, it's okay, it's okay." ”
Everyone also knew that he was a person, and they all threw him a hygienic eye, and they almost said the words 'bah, shameless'.
An Zifeng realized that he had been being held by Diona all along, and the two of them parted as if they were electrocuted, and they said thank you softly and left.
"Haha, I know it's a little virgin at a glance, ouch!" Nock was screwed down by Erin on the waist and immediately shut up obediently.
The crowd erupted in laughter again.
In this way, all kinds of interesting things happen every day in the Winter Throne, and everyone warms this cold winter with smiles.
