Chapter 20: Brothers in Trouble

"Mutant capsule, this is ......" Zhang Wei thought of something in his mind, but he was not sure.

"You guessed it, this capsule is the kind of thing that can bring out human potential. Fluttershy looks at the five capsules in the box and explains to Wei.

"Give the user great power at the cost of shortening their life?" Zhang Wei thought of the thugs who fought him.

"Presumably, but these thugs are using defective mutation capsules. Fluttershy struggles to gather information from the system.

..................

Half an hour later

Zhang Wei listens to Fluttershy's story and falls into deep thought. Fluttershy has a lot of information, and it takes more than 20 minutes to read it all.

According to 2987 records, as early as 2800, humans began to research technologies that could unleash human potential. But based on old records, it is not difficult to see that these first scientists did not succeed.

The real breakthrough in research and development came in 2930, when scientists used supercomputers to conduct repeated simulation experiments. Twenty years later, in 2950, the first generation of mutant capsules was developed.

However, because of its uncontrollable nature and strong side effects, it was listed as one of the prohibited items by the Kyushu Alliance at the time.

The first-generation mutant capsule was stillborn before it was officially released, and although some people took great risks to secretly buy and sell, the chance of death for humans who took this mutant capsule was extremely high.

Research is ongoing......

In 2960, the Kyushu Academy of Sciences made a major optimization on the basis of the mutation capsule. The effect of the modified mutant capsule is still unstable, but the side effects are much reduced. On top of that, the mortality rate of those who took it this time was significantly reduced.

This version is called the second-generation mutant capsule, but it is still not available on the market because of its imperfect effect. It's only used on a small scale, so some people call this an experimental version.

"So, the thugs we met were using second-generation mutant capsules?" asked Zhang Wei with one hand on his cheek.

Fluttershy points to the box next to Zhang Wei and says, "If I'm not mistaken, this box is the perfect mutation capsule!"

"Huh?" Zhang Wei put down his hand and stared at the five mutant capsules fiercely, not seeing how perfect they were.

Reaching out and pulling out the note at the bottom of the box, Zhang Wei read out the words written on it softly: "Third-generation mutant capsules: can allow users to randomly obtain one or two special abilities and strengthen the user's physique. Side effects: None. ”

What does that mean, is this a special feature?

Zhang Wei didn't understand a little, and then looked at the bottom of the note, there was a line of small print: There are only five third-generation mutant capsules. Remember, one person can only take one tablet, and if the amount is exceeded, the body will explode and die.

Fluttershy's ponytailed head leaned over and looked at it closely, before she was surprised, "Sure enough, it's the third generation!"

"Since the third generation has been developed, it should have been popularized a long time ago, why do those thugs use second-generation capsules?" Zhang Wei couldn't figure this out, could it be because the third-generation capsules were too expensive to make.

"The third-generation mutation capsule relied on the ability of the technology core to become perfect, and only these five capsules were made at that time, and then two of the technology cores disappeared. Fluttershy explains that she knows a lot about this history.

"Isn't there still a core of science and technology left?" asked Zhang Wei, pointing to his phone.

Fluttershy pouted, "A tech core has limited functionality, which is why it's made into a software mode hidden." ”

"That's right. Zhang Wei also understood that the third-generation mutant capsule in his hand was simply against the sky, and it was a limited edition.

At the same time, Zhang Wei's heart was also extremely entangled, whether he should eat or not?

What should I do if I am poisoned and die after eating?

"Gurgling ......" Zhang Wei's stomach protested strongly.

Where to find food in the middle of the night, there is supper, but I really can't afford to eat with the money in my pocket.

My life is not as good as a dog!

Zhang Wei finally made up his mind, reached out and picked up a mutation capsule in the box and swallowed it.

If you don't go crazy, you can't become a Buddha, so what's the point!

"How do you feel, Brother Viagra?" Fluttershy asked, leaning over to ask with concern, as she only knew a few things about the third-generation capsules, not the feelings and reactions of the user.

Zhang Wei's eyebrows tightened together, and he felt that the capsule was stuck in his throat. After picking up the mineral water next to the bed and drinking it all, it was still stuck in my throat and couldn't go down.

"Gross. Just as he was looking for some water, the capsule he had just eaten choked out of Zhang Wei's throat.

"Strange. Zhang Wei took the capsule and muttered to himself, this thing has no sign of melting.

Now that I've eaten it once, the hesitation I once had is gone. So Zhang Wei tried a few more times, but found that each time it was just stuck in his throat, and it would automatically spit out in less than a minute.

Even drinking a lot of water will not help.

"What's going on?" Zhang Wei turned to look at Fluttershy, who was teasing the cat.

"I don't know, maybe your constitution doesn't apply?" Fluttershy replied after a moment's thought, saying that there was no information on third-generation capsule users in the database.

Zhang Wei shook his head helplessly, but he was determined to fight once, but he didn't expect that God would not even give him this opportunity.

If you can transform into a bumpy man and fight little monsters, then you won't have to worry about eating and drinking.

He stood up and took the five mutation capsules out of the box and filled them into an empty bottle of cold medicine. The metal box was so conspicuous that it would be a problem if a thief stole it.

"You are the most beautiful cloud in my sky, let me leave you with my heart, hey stay!" Zhang Wei's mobile phone rang.

Zhang Wei picked up his mobile phone and looked at it, and an unfamiliar number was displayed on the screen.

"Hey, who are you looking for?" Zhang Wei picked up the phone and asked.

"Huh. A man's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Who are you? Don't say I'm hanging. Zhang Wei is in a bad mood now, and he is even more irritable when he hears this voice.

Young people will be disgusted with the word "hehe".

"You're Zhang Wei. The other end of the line asked, his tone tinged with a somber tone.

"Please remove the particle after my name!" Zhang Wei replied angrily, who is this guy, he called inexplicably in the middle of the night.

"Your friend is in my hands. "It's talking on the other side of the phone again, this time it's much simpler.

"You want to talk to me about this when you call in the middle of the night?" Zhang Wei almost laughed angrily, what about making a movie?

"Help, help!" A muffled voice came from the phone, and then the man spoke again: "If you don't come, he will die." ”

"What!" Zhang Wei stood up suddenly, and he could hear that the cry for help from the phone was his friend Huang Shu.

"Who are you and what do you want to do?" blurted out an extremely classic line, and this question is the most straightforward way.

"I, my name is Dali, your good friend Huang Shu is in my hands. As for what I'm going to do, hehe. The man sold a pass and waited for Zhang Wei to continue asking.

"You want me to see you?" Zhang Wei sat down, his tone calming down a lot.

After experiencing a lot of strange things, you will naturally be able to keep your heart calm.

A hot-headed person is not a threat, and the person who can keep his cool in important moments is the most terrifying.

"That's right, come to see me with the core of technology, and be alone. The man on the other end of the phone was in a good mood, and his tone became "naughty".

"Are you a fool to me?" Zhang Wei knew that no matter how much he explained at this time, it was useless.

"Location: Abandoned Shunde factory in the southern suburbs, I'll only wait for you for two hours. The other party laughed twice and said.

Zhang Wei just wanted to speak, but the other party added: "Little friend, calling the police is not something to be happy about for your friend." ”

After speaking, he hung up the phone immediately without waiting for Zhang Wei to answer.

"Dudu Dudu......" Zhang Wei listened to the blind sound from his mobile phone, biting his lip and standing in the room.
