Chapter 36: The Man at the Top of the Food Chain

Peter, who left the Osborne Building, recognized the identity of the woman with short red hair.

Black Widow, formerly known as Natasha Romanov, was a former Soviet agent who later betrayed the former Soviet secret service organization "Red Room" and joined S.H.I.E.L.D.

Although he was a little surprised to meet Black Widow at Osborne Industries, he didn't take it to heart.

As one of the best spies in the former Soviet Union, Black Widow has always been able to use her advantage to turn men around.

When facing her, most men will be influenced by her beauty, and then, like bees, will only revolve around honey.

With the idea of watching the excitement and not being too big to be a funeral, he naturally would not want to expose the identity of the black widow.

He's not Norman. Osborne, it's not his turn to have a headache.

Outside the Osborne Building, Peter chatted with Connors, who offered to invite him into his lab.

In the lab, the two of them stared at the lizards displayed in the cabinets.

"I studied the regeneration system of reptiles and the related reptile biology, and their regeneration technology is amazing!"

As if meeting a bosom friend, Connors told Peter about his research results.

"I used plasma extracted from reptiles to experiment with rabbits with broken legs, and the results were very successful, and the rabbit grew its severed legs. This fully shows that the serum I studied can avoid the attack of the immune system. ”

He waved his arms excitedly and said to Peter: "Think about it, maybe in the future, the diseased tissues or organs of human beings can also grow back after this kind of genetic modification engineering." ”

"It's a great invention, but Dr. Connors, how do you be sure that the serum you've created won't affect your consciousness once it enters the human body?"

"What?"

Connors was stunned, not knowing what Peter meant.

Peter shook his head and said calmly:

"Engulfing and transcribing genes is a very risky thing. Dr. Connors, you have focused too much on the physical aspects of the immune system and neglected the most important aspect, which is the mental attack. ”

"Human genes fuse with reptilian genes, and if human genes cannot dominate, assimilate and control reptile genes, then there will be genetic chaos and loss of control. The external manifestation of genetic loss is that your thoughts and cognitions begin to be confused, and even your body is reptile. ”

Peter said something that stunned Connors, "That is, your genes must be strong enough!" ”

"But it's a pity ......"

He shook his head slightly.

"Humans are not much more precious than animal genes."

Without relying on external forces, the degree of genetic evolution of human beings is very limited.

The serum invented by Dr. Connors is very limited and practical compared to the black light virus in his body.

After the black light virus fuses animal genes, plant genes, or fungal phages through phagocytosis, it will not be affected by this foreign gene, but will absorb it for its own use.

Black light virus, there is no problem of "gene regurgitation".

Its function is to make the human genes strong enough.

From the perspective of the biological chain, it is to let the host parasitized by the black light virus stand at the top of the food chain.

However, even with the black light virus being so powerful, there is still a problem.

That is, after devouring the creature, the more memories of the devoured body are obtained, the more the host will be affected.

This kind of consciousness and spiritual problem, no matter how powerful the black light virus is, cannot be controlled.

Peter, who had absorbed a lot of humans, realized this problem.

The memories of those whom he absorbed were clearly remembered by him, and they could not be forgotten, mixed with each other, and influenced each other.

If ordinary people, or people who are not strong-willed, it is estimated that sooner or later they will be tossed with mental breakdown or madness.

Although he can suppress it now, as long as he devours more and more people, he will eventually face this problem.

Therefore, he hopes to grasp the characteristics of the black light virus as much as possible.

Dr. Connors in front of him is one of the helpers he needs.

On the other side, Connors fell into deep thought in the face of Peter's question.

"I ...... I thought that the cells in the serum, like iPS cells, simply proliferated and divided. But...... You may be right, every cell may have genes that we can't see. ”

He said helplessly to Peter.

The two were silent for a while, and Peter said to Connors:

"Actually, I'm also working on this cross-species transgenic. Not long ago, I discovered a virus that I named DX-118C. ”

"He can regenerate your tissue, but ...... It is even more harmful, and if it spreads, then the whole world will be wiped out! ”

Dr. Connors listened calmly at first, but then his mouth opened wide as Peter explained the various properties of the virus.

His face was full of incredulity.

Although he found it difficult to believe, the characteristics of the virus and various data told by the other party made him suspicious again.

"Then I...... Can you take a look? ”

Connors asked quietly.

Although he didn't believe it, he couldn't help but ask Peter.

After all, it's a great temptation for a biologist.

"Yes, but not now."

Naturally, Peter couldn't show the virus to the other party at once.

He had to be 100% sure if there was a possibility of a virus leak at Connors.

And once the other party is infected, he must be ready to kill him as soon as possible.

"This is Osborne's lab, and it's not safe."

Peter made a reason, "And the level of protection here is not enough!" ”

Connors looked at Peter's serious expression and believed it a little.

After thinking about it, he said to Peter:

"I know of a lab that works on Charcoal bacillus, right on Long Island, and maybe we can do research there. If you do find this virus, I can pay to rent a lab to study it, no...... It's us working together, and I'm not going to rob you of the results of your experiments. ”

He was about to say something more, but there was a soft knock on the lab door.

"Dr. Connors, could you come over for a moment?"

"OK, go right now."

Connors answered the door and said excitedly to Peter: "We'll talk later, don't worry, I will never leak it, I swear!" ”

After assuring Peter, he walked briskly out of the lab.

In the lab, Peter watched Connors's back and slowly stretched out his right hand.

On the palm of his right hand, there is a small spider lying on his stomach.

The spider jumped to the ground and chased after Connors.

He doesn't trust the character of the other person 100%.

So he used the little spider with his mind and consciousness to start spying on each other.

He needs to keep looking at each other until he trusts him.
