Chapter 40: Genes

Outside the door was a wide silver-gray corridor, and by the door stood a tall young and beautiful woman with short pale pink hair.

"Hello, Otherworldly, I'll be by your side as a guide for the rest of the journey. The first time she saw Chen An, she raised her hand and greeted a military salute, and said with a sweet smile. "You can call me Teresa or Rachel!"

"Rachel?!" Chen An quietly looked at the woman in front of him who was actually in charge of monitoring him. "I think you seemed to be one of the rescuers before, and I haven't thanked you yet. โ€

"So you still remember me, haha!" she seemed to be a girl with a rather lively and cheerful personality, and immediately talked eloquently after hearing Chen An's words: " We all follow orders, so you don't have to thank us too much, besides, I'm just in charge of dealing with the aftermath, and it's our team leader who is in charge of the main rescue work, so thank him if you want to thank him, by the way, he's the one who negotiated with you at the outpost, don't look at him as unkind, in fact, the team leader is a person who is cold on the outside and hot on the inside, and is not good at expressing his feelings. โ€

"I see. Chen An nodded and said, "My name is An, in order to facilitate communication, you can call me by this name directly in the future." โ€

"Okay, Ann! no problem, Ann!" Rachel said with a quick smile. "Speaking of which, what are you going to do?"

Chen An observed the endless corridor on the left and right and said, "I want to meet my companions." โ€

"Okay, please come with me. โ€

With that, Rachel chose a direction and walked straight forward.

"Well, aren't you going to use some teleportation method to take me over?" Chen An, who was following behind Rachel, suddenly wondered.

"Teleportation is not allowed in the base, and the use of teleportation requires a specific combat uniform, don't you see that I am only wearing an ordinary military uniform?" Rachel turned around and pointed to the silver-white military uniform on his body and explained with a smile.

Don't you say where I can tell the difference between you all in silver-white combat uniforms and military uniforms?

Chen An complained in her heart, but if you observe carefully, you can distinguish the subtleties of the two costumes, for example, the military uniform she is wearing now is not as tight as the previous combat uniform, the neckline and cuffs are relatively loose, and the shoulders and right chest are embroidered with unknown patterns, but the pattern seems to use a special coating, which is generally difficult to show, if it is not for the other party to take the initiative to show it, I am afraid that Chen An really can't see the pattern on it.

After walking for a long time, the two still did not reach the end of the porch, but Chen An's body never felt the slightest tired, thinking back to how long he had been communicating with the mechanical synthesizer in the secret room before, but why was he still full of energy now? Could it be that the other party had done something to his body?

With such doubts in mind, he tried to ask Rachel for answers.

"Rachel, what exactly did you do to my body?"

"Oh, have you finally noticed something wrong with your body?" Rachel seemed to have anticipated Chen An's doubts, and she said quite calmly. "When we rescued you, your body began to show symptoms of large-scale collapse due to long-term exposure to biochemical radiation, and if it was a month or two later, you would have ulcerated all over your body and died......!

"In other words, while healing me, you have turned me into a god-like being?" Chen An said as he looked at his increasingly strong hands.

"Poofโ€”" Rachel burst out laughing, covering her mouth. "What kind of gods, it's just a group of mutants who have been genetically modified by inferior quality, although genetic modification has given them great strength, but because of this, their physical potential has been exhausted, and even their own lifespan has been greatly affected, otherwise do you think the Goya people will be so kind to a group of cannon fodder?"

"What about my companion, she is also a mutant who has been genetically modified by inferior quality, you should have a way to help her solve the sequelae in this regard, right?" Chen An, who learned the truth about the Divine Favor, instantly thought of Alex and hurriedly asked.

"Do you mean that little boy? Don't worry, we have helped him eliminate the hidden danger of genetic modification when we treated him, and he is now in good health, but ......."

"Just what?"

"Because genetic modification is irreversible, although we have eliminated the hidden dangers of genetic modification, he has also lost the special power brought by genetic modification. Rachel shook her head.

"So she's turned back into an ordinary person?" Chen said.

"Yes. โ€

Rachel sighed softly and expressed her regret.

"Ordinary people, it's okay like this, it's good ......," Chen An couldn't help muttering.

"Compared to your physical condition, we have not genetically modified you, but simply enhanced your physical functions, and over time, the strength of your body will slowly reach the limit of a normal person, and non-genetically modified people have all kinds of strange abilities. Rachel then patiently explained Chen's condition. "Before you woke up, we injected you with the energy injections, and until the potency of the energy injections was exhausted in your body, you would stay in high spirits, which had nothing to do with your physical strengthening. โ€

"How long does the energy injection last?" Chen An said silently.

"It's just a week. Rachel said with a smile. "Don't worry, the energy injection will not cause any damage to the body. โ€

At this time, the two finally came to the end of the porch.

And at the end there is a door, a silver gate that resembles an elevator.

When the two of them walked to the door, the silver door automatically opened to both sides, and inside was a box-shaped space, and when they stepped in, the door quickly closed, and the whole car took on an oppressive sense of weightlessness.

โ€œ...... It's an elevator, right?"

Chen An speechlessly observed the environment of the surrounding car.

"What's that?!" Rachel asked, tilting her head. "It's a space mobility switch door that takes us to most of the areas of the base that are allowed to go in and out of the space. โ€

Well, forgive my shallow ignorance.

In a moment, the elevator-like car suddenly stopped, and the door in front of it opened.

Suddenly, a world full of greenery and vitality appeared in front of his eyes.

"Welcome to our little garden. โ€
