Chapter 109: Methods of Suppression
"Then I'm not going to be a Zero Beast..."
After coming to this conclusion, Ling Feng's heart swelled with a complete chill.
But he couldn't help it, anyone who knew they might be turning into a man-eating monster would feel that way. An instinctive sense of fear......
Closing his eyes, Ling Feng remembered everything that had happened in the morning, and the thirst for blood in his heart was really too terrifying. Thinking of the previous dream, Ling Feng still had a trace of luck about his changes, but half of his skin turned black, and he still felt that he was still far from being completely eroded by the gauntlet and turning into a zero beast that feeds on humans. According to his own speculation, to completely sink into the Zero Beast that has lost his mind, it may require the gauntlet to devour more than ninety percent of his body. But what happened in the morning shattered his luck!
It's just that half of his body has been eroded, but he has developed like a zero beast, and he can't eat the food that ordinary people like to eat! He's just one step away from becoming a Zero Beast!
Ling Feng, who was lying flat on the hospital bed, realized this, and a lot of cold sweat overflowed uncontrollably on his forehead...... Since he noticed that his body had begun to change, it had only been more than a month since he was fully counted, and in a little more than a month, he was about to turn from an ordinary human to a man-eating monster?
This is something he can't accept now!
At the beginning, he sacrificed his life to wear it when he learned that the terrible consequences of wearing the gauntlet might be, because the parents who raised him died, and his sister Ling Ya, who was the only one in this world, was in danger. Coupled with the fact that he was actually very desperate about curing his sister's headache, he could not think about the terrible consequences and put on his gauntlet without hesitation.
If I do become that horrible monster, then I will definitely find a place to die before I lose consciousness. That's what he thought at the time.
However, now the headache that has plagued my sister for many years has been perfectly solved. Xiaoxiao's special feelings for Lin Yuyao on his side, he didn't fail to notice it. Xiaoxiao already has clues about what happened to her parents eight years ago...... All of this made him worry a lot about the world, he didn't want to become a monster, and he didn't want to die!
When Ling Feng fell into the whirlpool of thoughts, Mr. Gu casually took out a few tissues from his pocket, helped Ling Feng wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, and said while wiping it: "Ling Feng, you can rest assured, even if there is no data yet, according to my judgment, your situation should still be able to be recovered." ”
"Really? Mr. Gu, you won't be comforting me, please help me! ”
Ling Feng opened his eyes, and when he heard Mr. Gu's words, he sat up excitedly and held Mr. Gu's arm tightly, as if grasping a life-saving straw.
Ling Feng knew very little about everything about the Zero Beast, and as an expert in this area, Mr. Gu could only pin all his hopes on him.
With a lot of concerns, he really doesn't want to become a terrible cannibal monster. And if this really happens one day, in order not to let the things in the nightmare become a reality, he will definitely choose to cut himself at the moment before he loses his mind and becomes a monster.
"Don't move, according to what you said, in the end you are freed from your bloodthirsty will by your own willpower, which means that your spirit has not yet been completely eroded, or more accurately, not completely eroded. In fact, from your physical point of view, the gauntlet only erodes 60% of your body at most. On both counts, things are not yet in despair. ”
Mr. Gu pressed Ling Feng's shoulder, asked him to lie down again, and said after looking at the data on the computer to confirm that the equipment was still working normally.
"yes... It's not time for despair yet. Xiaoya, after so many years, the headache that has made countless experts helpless can be cured. I'm sure I'll get better! Xiaoya, Yaoyao, and the real Xiaoxiao who is tracking everything down eight years ago... You're going to wait for me! ”
Ling Feng, who had regained hope, tried to calm down and lie down again. Spiritual acuity, his ears were filled with the slight vibration of the mechanical arm running, and somehow listening to this slight sound, Ling Feng felt that his eyelids began to become heavy......
Just as he was about to fall asleep, with a sound of "Dididi", Ling Feng woke up with a spirit.
Mr. Gu, who had been waiting for a long time, walked quickly to the computer, and Ling Feng quickly got up and got out of bed when he saw this, and followed him step by step.
In front of the computer desk, Mr. Gu quickly dragged the mouse to browse through one item after another about Ling Feng's body data. Ling Feng, who didn't know much about many values and didn't know what they meant, could only look at Mr. Gu's face, hoping to get some good news from his face. However... His hopes were completely dashed. It's okay not to look at it, but in the process of checking, Mr. Gu's face became ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After being silent for a moment, Ling Feng, who couldn't bear it, asked softly, "Mr. Gu, how is it?" My body data is still normal...", Ling Feng's voice became smaller and smaller, and the answer to this question actually didn't need to be asked. If it was normal, how could he be like that?
"Ugh..."
After quickly browsing through all the data, Mr. Gu shook the mouse's hand and slapped the mouse on the table. He sighed and rubbed his temples on both sides before saying, "Ling Feng, in terms of data in all aspects, your body is tantamount to a superhuman compared to ordinary people, and it is very healthy. But this health, this strength, is fundamentally abnormal. Because your physical fitness is stronger than ordinary people, it is partly because of the strengthening of spiritual power, and more because of the erosion and transformation of your body by the gauntlet. ”
Picking up the mouse again, Mr. Gu brought up a strangely shaped picture. Because Ling Feng had switched to study medicine to treat his sister's headache, he could roughly see that what appeared on the screen was a cell map.
"Here's a map of the cells of an ordinary human, look at your..."
Mr. Gu flicked the scroll wheel on the mouse, and another dynamic cell map belonging to Ling Feng appeared on the screen, and Ling Feng's face changed greatly when he saw this picture. If Mr. Gu hadn't told him in advance that this was his cell diagram, he would never have seen that this was a human cell. The cells on the screen have several large nuclei that seem to be cancerous.
"It's a special way to capture the activity of cells in an area of your body. The cells in your body have mutated due to the effects of the gauntlets. The metabolism is accelerated dozens of times at once, so that your body becomes extremely powerful and has great power. But the trade-off is that your cells are hungry easily, and due to the influence of the special nucleus, the cells in your body will be particularly hungry for the proteins produced by the body..."
In the moving image, a black gelatinous mass of black gelatinous material is wrapped around a cell with several large nuclei, and the cells are wriggling and engulfing proteins in the tissue fluid.
"It's... What to do? Mr. Gu..."Ling Feng's face changed again and again, and he asked anxiously.
No wonder he was so hungry for blood at that time, presumably the real Zero Beast must have this weird special cell all over his body, right? In this way, it is impossible for the war between the Zero Beasts and the humans to stop. Both are here to survive, but the former is a predator and the latter is just for self-preservation.
"The process of cell mutation is irreversible, but I have a way to help stop the worsening of the situation. From the data, I found that this special cell can only survive in your upper body, and once it crosses the tissues of your upper body, it will be engulfed and strangled by the white blood cells in your body. In other words, it will only survive the black skin that your body will produce after being eroded by the gauntlets. ”
Mr. Gu pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, then turned and walked towards the metal counter on the other side of the metal room. Ling Feng, who was standing in place, saw a lot of bottles and cans on the counter, as well as some transparent test tubes containing unknown liquids.
Mr. Gu took out a blue transparent glass bottle from between the many jars, he opened the cap and looked at it carefully, and then sniffed it uneasily, confirming that it was the medicine he wanted. He took several vials of the same reagent around the clear blue glass bottle in his arms.
"Mr. Gu, what does this medicine do?"
Ling Feng hurriedly walked over and took the blue glass bottles from Mr. Gu's arms, and carefully placed them on the empty desktop next to the computer. You must know that these may well be your own life-saving medicines! Curiously opened the bottle, Ling Feng also sniffed it, and suddenly a pungent fishy smell poured into his nostrils, and the choking Ling Feng coughed violently, almost throwing the medicine bottle in his hand to the ground. Fortunately, Ling Feng restrained himself with strong willpower and closed the bottle cap.
Why didn't Mr. Gu feel like he didn't feel anything when he smelled it just now? Ling Feng couldn't help but have such a question in his mind, if he knew that this medicine smelled so big, he would never open it and smell it hastily.
Seeing Ling Feng's funny performance, Mr. Gu, who looked extremely old-fashioned on weekdays, laughed uncontrollably.
Mr. Gu picked up a bottle of medicine and pointed the blue glass bottle at the light above his head, and the glass bottle was extremely crystal clear under the light.
"It's a substance extracted from the blood of the Zero Beast, and it's not a drug that converts the cells in your body back, it's a tonic. A supplement that I inadvertently extracted, it's your food. ”
"Food ......"
Thinking of the smelly smell before, if I ate this thing as a meal...... Thinking of this, Ling Feng almost couldn't help but retch......
Mr. Gu, who had long expected Ling Feng to react like this, explained: "This supplement is actually a special highly concentrated protein, and its composition is actually similar to the protein contained in the human body. But how to say it..."
"For example, the difference between this supplement and human protein is the same as the difference between the ordinary food you eat in the world and the delicacies of the mountains and seas."
