Chapter 216: I'm No Longer a Man
9.1 per cent for option I, 63.6 per cent for option II, 9.1 per cent for option III and 18.2 per cent for option IV.

[Option 2]
[Biochemical modification of the flesh]: Implant hormones and transcribed RNA of the Zerg to make the flesh softer and stronger, and significantly increase its combat ability and survivability.
β¦β¦
Zheng Zhuo never thought that he would take the initiative to agree to accept the transformation of his body one day, or to enter the hormones of the Zerg.
But both Feng's rhetoric and the data given by the microcomputer indicate that the next transformation will be impeccable. This latest approach to the transformation of the natural person's body has been described as "foolproof", "using the latest and most advanced technology", and "at the forefront of the times".
What's more, it's free.
Zheng Zhuo is a responsible person...... At least he thinks he is. He was a firm believer that nothing could be done sooner, and he always believed that things that were free and highly recommended usually had greater hidden dangers.
But he also believes that human perception is not as reliable as computer data analysis.
(Maybe my life experience is only applicable in real life.) οΌβ
After being here for too long, I feel like there is no way to return to reality. That's another story.
Putting aside those uneasiness, Zheng Zhuo decided to break through the old-fashioned and conservative attachment of natural people this time, and move towards the cosmic century from body to mind.
On the battlefield, survival is the most important thing.
All for a safer fight.
"I accept this transformation."
I don't know if it's an illusion. As he said this, he felt the stereoscopic projection's eyes flickering in the signal stream.
"I'm honored to be in charge of your first transformation."
The mechanical tone said.
This statement made Zheng Zhuo shudder for no reason.
ββ¦β¦ I only accept minimal war intensification. β
He hurriedly added.
"No additional terms will be accepted."
This is the experience he gained from downloading software to a computer in the real world.
It's better to be "old-fashioned and conservative" here.
β¦β¦
Wei Hao also seems to be selling some new kinds of chips. His list of system updates looks like a strategic map of asteroids. The remaining 3 soldiers did not escape Feng Na's "tongue", which was equipped with the most advanced psychology components, and lay down in the hibernation chamber of the Biochemistry and Mechanics Department, waiting to be transformed.
There is still a long way to go before we reach the strategic points. During the long interstellar flight, the transformation of the entire personnel of [Black Fury] began in an orderly manner.
In order to protect his brain, Zheng Zhuo fell into a deep sleep for a long time. Immediately afterward, he was awakened in a state of slow brain movement, and was thrust from the hibernation pod into the sustained release pod in a state similar to that between dreaming and coma.
β¦β¦ ......
The sustained-release chamber is slowly injecting liquid. A clear, transparent solution enveloped Zheng Zhuo. Zheng Zhuo's tongue still works, and it tastes them a bit like soda.
Also, there are tiny vesicles inside.
Immediately afterward, a number of needle-like syringes were pushed out of the sides of the extended-release chamber.
They hit Zheng Zhuo's skin.
It didn't bring much pain. Instead of piercing the surface of the body, the syringes passed through Zheng Zhuo's skin through polymer penetration.
This feeling of half-dreaming and half-awakening lasted for a long time.
Until a soft "tick" sound.
It was as if the hypnotic state was unraveled, and Zheng Zhuo's consciousness suddenly returned to clarity. Those "sodas" were pumped out. The door of the sustained-release chamber opens. It's over.
Zheng Zhuo slowly got up.
β¦β¦
Bang! The skin exploded with rejection, and four long arthropods protruded from each of the ribs. The wrists and ankles are exaggeratedly dislocated, and new spherical joints grow on the original parts......
Nothing like that happened.
Zheng Zhuo stood on the ground very ordinary. He moved his body as usual.
(It doesn't make a difference.) οΌβ
He looked at the mirror-like wall of chrome.
On that wall, Zheng Zhuo's figure was completely reflected.
The hands and feet are all there, there are no abnormalities, no parts have grown, and no parts are missing. The feeling of thinking is good, not particularly fast, not particularly slow.
If you have to say it, Zheng Zhuo found that his complexion had become better than before. This is a rare thing for a legionnaire who is always in the best condition.
He looked at his wrist and found the answer.
His wrists, where the green tendons had protruded, had also become very ruddy.
This means that he doesn't have the so-called venous blood anymore. The biochemical modification of his body changed the structure of his heart and blood vessels, thus indirectly changing the principle of his blood supply as a human being.
His heart pumps faster, with smaller doses at a time. The heart becomes a surging circulatory device, always giving supersaturated oxygen.
The Zerg hormones and transcribed RNA that were injected into his body also succeeded in turning his somatic cells into a state suitable for supersaturated oxygen. He no longer has oxygen poisoning or lactic acid poisoning. The ultra-high concentration of oxygen makes his nerves more responsive, and his muscles are able to work longer and with higher loads. Highly oxygenated blood even became a way to protect his organs, allowing him to be briefly exposed to the cosmic environment from a few stars to several stars, without dying immediately due to hypothermia and stress imbalance.
And his appearance has not changed in any way. Feng respects the needs of his customers at this point. The only difference is that Zheng Zhuo's whole person has become a little ruddy. That's all.
"It feels so much better than I imagined."
Worst.
Zheng Zhuo began to realize that modifying his body could be addictive.
"Let's stop in moderation. Stop. β
A good legionnaire knows when to stop.
β¦β¦
Zheng Zhuo walked out of the transformation room. Soon after, he re-met Wei Hao and the rest of the team.
The scout turned his head into a giant mechanical probe. Other than that, the appearance of the others hasn't changed much at least. Everyone shared the transformations they had carried out with each other, and Zheng Zhuo saw a lot of physical modification projects similar to him, as well as some neuro-strengthening projects.
Wei Hao installed two chips for himself. One will help him better anchor the phase difference in space, and the other will be used to combat information turbulence. He also gave himself a pair of feet. He had some solidified fuel in his feet, which he used as lubrication and backup energy for his joints.
"Good. Very good......"
Feng looked more satisfied than they were.
β¦β¦
If Zheng Zhuo had dispelled most of his worries at this time, then, a few stars later, everyone threw themselves into the edge battlefield, and Zheng Zhuo's suspicions were completely swept away.
Zheng Zhuo had never fought so smoothly. Black Fury is able to execute tactics ten times or a hundred times more efficiently than before, and perform many tactical maneuvers that were not possible before.
At first, they were assigned as support units because they had mini-spacecraft. But soon, they were no longer satisfied with support.
The fire began to pour deeper into the galaxy.
Many of the [Biochemical Heart] high-modifiers, as well as Feng himself, provided the best support for [Black Fury]. So far, so far, it seems, everything is going well.
Zheng Zhuo looked at the star map during his break. He's far from the core of the Zerg...... The Zerg Mothership and the Zerg Function Ship are places where the [caregiver] perspective may be...... There is still a long way to go.
However, it is already on the way to it.
During this period, Zheng Zhuo was more brave and good at fighting than other soldiers because of the existence of the [Efficient Processing] ability and the [Alchemy] ability, and won a lot of meritorious deeds.
He can exchange his exploits for something.
