Chapter 21: She Touched the Threshold

Inevitably someone would be embarrassed in the future, Gu Xi decisively decided to end the topic and asked instead, "Professor Xu, why do these plants mutate?" ”

I heard that Xiao Crying Bao is also an expert in the Abnormal Energy Research Institute now, and I want to come to the research institute for thirty years to study, so I should have made some discoveries, right?

Professor Xu, who has always been cold in front of people, has also become amiable at this moment.

He followed behind Gu Xi and patiently explained to Gu Xi: "The reason why these plants mutate is because there is a special energy in the body, which we call X energy. ”

Gu Xi nodded, it seems that this X energy is the official name of that weird energy.

Seeing that she was interested, Xu Yitwosan continued: "This X energy, after entering the human body through the food chain, cannot be digested and absorbed by the human body, nor can it be eliminated through metabolism......"

After a pause, he said: "When this energy accumulates in the human body to a certain amount, it will cause devastating damage to the human body......

I don't know what I thought, Xu Yi's expression was obviously a little dignified.

After half a ring, he lowered his eyes and sighed in a low voice: "...... A good person, but in the end he becomes a monster who loses his mind. ”

Monster here doesn't just refer to adjectives.

Because X energy will not only make people completely lose their minds, but also undergo certain changes in their bodies:

Some of them have scales on their bodies, some have tails, some have sharp claws on their hands and feet, some have bone spurs on their backs, some have fangs in their mouths, and some have tongues that are more than three meters long......

These humans who eventually turned into monsters are not far more destructive and dangerous than the original zombies.

After Gu Xi woke up, he had never seen such a monster.

Although there were occasional discussions on the forum, there were no images and video materials, and now hearing Xu Yiyisan say this, Gu Xi's heart moved.

After thinking about it, she asked, "Then where does this X energy come from?" And how does it get into the bodies of animals and plants? ”

Xu Yi, Two, and Three were only curious, and didn't think much about it, and said, "We suspect that this X energy is likely to be related to the zombie virus that suddenly disappeared back then......

This is similar to Gu Xi's previous guess.

But Gu Xi never figured out how these strange energies entered the bodies of animals and plants.

She had carefully perceived her surroundings with her abilities, and found that there was no such special energy in the air, water, or soil.

It seems to appear in the bodies of animals and plants out of thin air, and it is surprisingly fast.

I don't know if the research institute has figured out this problem after so many years?

Gu Xi looked at Xu Yiyi and Three very seriously.

"As for how exactly this X energy appears in the plant......" Xu Yitwosan hesitated for a moment.

"I'm ashamed," he sighed, "over the years, we have tested the air and soil in different environments...... I did a lot of analysis and experiments, but I never figured this out. ”

"But a few years ago, someone proposed a possible ......" Speaking of this, Xu Yi's expression became a little strange, and the person fell silent.

Gu Xi glanced at him in surprise.

Xu Yisan came back to his senses and said with a complicated expression: "A few years ago, someone suggested that the reason why X energy appeared in the bodies of animals and plants may be because of ...... Genetic variation. ”

Gu Xi: "......?" She doesn't read much, doesn't she know that energy can also be inherited?

Xu 123 explained: "Some people speculate that the sudden disappearance of the zombie virus was somehow latent in the bodies of animals and plants, and then some unknown changes occurred, resulting in the fusion of the zombie virus with some genetic fragments of animals and plants......"

Then, as the reproduction of animals and plants is passed on to the next generation, and the genetic sequences that have been fused and changed have undergone some unknown changes in the growth process of animals and plants, thus giving birth to X energy......

Gu Xi listened very carefully.

She seemed to understand something, but she didn't seem to understand anything.

Finally, she thought about it and said euphemistically: "...... It's magical. ”

Xu Yiyisan couldn't help but smile when he saw her like this: "I think it's quite absurd and bizarre." In fact, when this theory was first proposed, it was not accepted by the mainstream. ”

"But it didn't take long for someone to extract a special set of genetic fragments from those who had turned into monsters......"

This proves that X energy does change some of the genetic sequences in the human body.

Since X energy can change the genetic sequence of the human body, it can also change the genes of other animals and plants.

So be a little bolder, think backwards, and deduce backwards - will these X energies that suddenly appear in the bodies of animals and plants come from some special genetic fragments?

This led to the idea of genetic variation.

However, because the same or similar gene fragments have not yet been extracted from those mutated plants and animals, it is not possible to prove this inference at present.

Gu Xi washed her hands and said in her heart: Although she didn't understand, she felt so unfathomable.

"Xiaoxi, if you have anything else you want to ask, you can ask me." Xu Yiyisan sat on a big stone by the stream and looked at Gu Xi with a sideways smile.

This is my sister's child, she has the right to know everything!

Gu Xi turned his head to look at him, thought for a while, and suddenly asked, "I want to know, what is the matter with the evil transformation of the alien plant?" When did this vicious change begin? Are there any signs before that? ”

Gu Xi, who had just fought with the evil plants after the malignant transformation a few days ago, now what he wants to figure out the most is this matter.

Because she found that after the malignant transformation of the alien plant, there was another more pure energy in her body, and this energy made her ability extremely excited.

Gu Xi's ability has never been touched since she broke through the tenth order and reached the god level when she was fourteen years old.

Everyone thinks that godhood is already the highest level of ability.

But Gu Xi, who had been in the position of a full-level boss for many years, had vaguely sensed many years ago that there should be a higher realm above the god level.

She could vaguely feel the existence of that realm, but she never touched the threshold.

Until that night, she continued to plunder the strange energy in the alien plant's body, and finally witnessed the malignant transformation process of the alien plant.

It turns out that before the heterogeneous transformation, the xenoplants will absorb a large amount of energy from other xenoplants in the vicinity, causing the nearby xenoplants to wither and die.

And the consequence of this kind of natural selection is that in the process of malignant transformation, another more pure and advanced energy is produced in the body.

This new energy made her little green shoots extra excited.

And after Gu Xi plundered this part of the energy, he seemed to have vaguely touched that threshold.

So she wanted to know more about the malignant transformation of Xenophytes.

But the matter of the evil transformation of the alien plant was suppressed from above, and Gu Xi had no channel to understand it at all.

However, listening to the meaning of Wei Heng's previous words, it seems that all the information about the evil transformation of the alien plant is now in the hands of the people of the Central Base Abnormal Energy Research Institute.

Even the military doesn't have much in their hands.

And Xu Yi, Two, and Three happen to be the people of the Abnormal Energy Research Institute. In addition, he has a special identity, and he has made up another identity for his brain......

Gu Xi thought that this might be the only breakthrough point where she could access those materials at present.

So although she also knew that it was a bit risky for her to ask this, Gu Xi thought about it and still asked.

But at the same time, she also found that the moment she asked this question, the Qin family sisters and Shen Yue looked up at her in unison.

Even Xu Yi's face changed slightly......

Looking at her eyes, it's all different.
