Chapter Seventy-Six: Genetic Shock
Updated: 2012-08-09
At noon, Victor made himself a simple burger with bread and luncheon meat. The clinic has reopened, and Victor's life has returned to its original trajectory, but the clinic seems a little deserted because of the absence of his wife, Kaylin.
Kailin's body has been cremated by Victor, and her ashes are buried in a resident cemetery facing the sea in Fury Reef. Master was the only one who came to mourn, but Victor was already surprised. After all, in this era, many people have taken death lightly, especially people like Master who have blood on their hands.
Now, Victor has two rings on his hands. One was his own, the other was Kaylin's. Looking at the ring that Kailin had left him, he seemed to be able to feel that his wife was accompanying him in another way.
When he carefully put a little crumb of crumbs into his mouth, Victor saw zero. The heavy locomotive rushed almost directly, causing residents to scold angrily on the street. But the smell of blood on Zero's body makes them afraid to approach, and when Zero gets off the motorcycle, Victor sees that he is still carrying Leah on his back.
"God, he did it. Victor hurriedly ran out of the clinic, but saw that Leah did not respond, and his heart sank.
Zero hurriedly walked into the clinic with Leah on his back and said to Victor, "Save her......"
Before the words fell, Zero's face changed. Then he spewed out a mouthful of blood mist, and his physical strength seemed to be drained in an instant, and Zero fell to the ground. Leah's body also rolled twice, and as for Zero, she was already foaming at the mouth and her body was twitching.
Victor didn't bother to look at Leah, and hurriedly found Maoyu and stuffed it into Zero's mouth so that he wouldn't bite his tongue. Trying to lift Zero up, unexpectedly when he touched Zero's body, Victor's fingertips were surprisingly hot. A sudden high fever is not a good thing, and in Victor's memory, only when he experiences a genetic shock or a genetic collapse will his body suddenly react with high heat energy. It's just that Victor doesn't know what kind of situation Zero belongs to now.
By the time Zero regained consciousness, it was already two days later.
While he was in a coma, he had that dream again. Like a dream sleeping in a hibernation warehouse, the shadow of the woman in the dream is always shaking in front of her eyes, but the zuihou of the dream has Leah's bloody figure.
Zero woke up to Victor's cluttered room and the glow of the sunset outside the window.
He jumped out of bed and found himself in better shape than ever. Not only had all of his injuries healed, but after this battle with Sauron, he had five more evolution points in his body. With the addition of the three evolution points obtained earlier, Zero now has a total of eight evolution points.
It is impossible to get so many evolution points just by going to war with Sauron, and Zero vaguely guesses that it is probably related to his own crazy state.
And in addition to this, he also felt another ability that was automatically generated. When he stretched out the tentacles of his consciousness to gently flick this ability, suddenly his palm was hot, and an orange flame rose from his palm. Despite the flames in his palms, Zero didn't feel the heat at all, as if the flames were part of his body.
"Hey, when did you start playing with the abilities of the Elemental Domain, or the Fire Elemental, which is known for its destructive power. Victor, who had come in through the door, said unexpectedly when he saw the flames on Zero's hand, and the doctor's face was very tired, as if he hadn't slept in days.
Seeing Victor, Zero thought of Leah. He shook his hand to extinguish the flames and asked urgently, "How's Leah?"
"It's not good, but you're not much better. Victor asked solemnly, "You answer me first, this is the first time you have had a genetic shock?"
"Gene shock?" Zero looked at Victor in bewilderment.
"No, you don't know about genetic shocks?" Victor grabbed his hair and looked at Zero like a monster.
The so-called gene shock is the name of the phenomenon of large-scale movement of genes in an organism. The recombination and arrangement of genes in the process will release additional space for organisms to form special abilities. This is how the Adept came about, and it can be said that every Adept goes through the process of genetic shock, and when it goes through this process without causing a genetic collapse, then a new Adequacy is born.
And after becoming an alien, the genes in the body will be basically fixed. If you want to expand new abilities, you can only rely on evolution points to achieve it, but in general, it is impossible for the ability to have a second shock.
It's just that there are no absolutes in the world, and in the supernatural and even other wild creatures, there will also be secondary or even plural oscillating individual existences. As long as these individuals do not survive death, each genetic shock means rebirth for them. Not only will there be a qualitative improvement in the basic abilities, but also new and very powerful abilities will be formed.
However, according to the currently known statistics, no more than 100 individuals survived the second shock of the whole shijie, and the number of people who survived the third shock is even rarer.
Zero's condition was confirmed by Victor to be a genetic shock. Combined with the fact that Zero himself was already an anomaly, Victor believed that this was the second genetic shock, but the doctor didn't think about it at all, and he was stunned by the term Zero.
In fact, this is not a zero secondary shock. For him, this is just zero first genetic shock.
The reason why he was able to become an anomaly had nothing to do with genetic shock, but as he had previously suspected, it had to do with this apparently modified body. There was something strange in his body that made him jump over the first concussion and appear directly. It wasn't until today that Leah kissed herself, and Zero, who was agitated, unknowingly had her first shock.
After Victor explained what a genetic shock is, and what a quadratic or even plural oscillation can bring. Zero perceives it carefully, and finds that as Victor said, his basic attributes have improved a lot, and the original various abilities have been automatically promoted to the first order, which has basically doubled Zero's overall combat power.
But what Zero cares more about is obviously Leah's situation. It's just that, as Victor said, Leah's situation is really bad.
Hans's blood caused Leah's body to heal itself, and it was this ability that allowed the surface of her wound to heal gradually, which was the basis for Zero to judge that she was still saved. However, after Victor's diagnosis, Leah, who was actually brought back by Zero, is dead, but her body is still alive.
This is a very difficult phenomenon to explain, and Leah's current life is only characterized by the healing and regeneration of her flesh, but her internal organs have stopped working. Victor explains that this is the result of incomplete transformation, and now that Leah is dead, the flesh and blood that has regenerated from her wounds has grown a lot of excess tissue without conscious control.
The growth rate of these tissues has only slowed down to this day, and is gradually ceased, because Leah's body has been depleted of nutrients.
When Zero saw Leah, who had an extra lump of tissue on her body, saw her through the tempered glass, he was both angry and sad.
However, there may not be no way to save her. ”
"Do you have a way?" Zero's eyes lit up at the hearing of Victor's words.
Victor spread his hands and said, "Listen, it's not 100% successful. But your wife, due to the invasion of some kind of cell, the activity of blood cells in her body is very high. I've taken three tubes of this blood, and if I can, I can extract enough genetic information from these bloods to clone another Leah for you. ”
"Clone, you mean clone jishu?" But in zero limited memory, the clone jishu of the old era was not widely used in humans. Unexpectedly, after the day of the cataclysm, this kind of jishu seems to have a tendency to develop.
Victor nodded, "That's right, it's a clone." This kind of jishu is now very perfect, and many noble lords use it to maintain their lives. And a complete cloning of a ** is rare, but it is not impossible. It's just that I don't have the necessary equipment here, and of course, it looks like you don't have the funds to start this jishu either. ”
Zero took a deep breath and asked, "According to your calculations, how much money will be needed in total to be able to carry out this project?"
"I can't do it alone, at least I need experts in human structure and genetics, plus the cost of buying equipment and materials. The most conservative estimate is about 10 million. Victor laughed, the doctor didn't think Zero could afford it.
"What if you deduct equipment and materials?" asked Zero seriously.
Victor immediately gave an answer: "That will also require at least about eight million funds, in fact, equipment and materials are trivial, we need more Shiyan." Before the complete cloning of Leah, there should be a lot of failures, and these are the goods that eat money. ”
"I see, how long does Leah's blood last?"
"Three years, probably. Victor counted with his fingers.
Three years, at least eight million in funding. Of course, the start-up capital does not need to be so fast, but at least half of the amount should be used as the basic guarantee for the operation of the project. And now, Zero has less than 10,000 dollars in his credit card.
Seeing Zero Yifu's serious thinking, Victor frowned and said, "Don't tell me, you really plan to get such a large sum of money out in three years?"
"If there is any hope for Kaylin to be reborn, I think you will consider the possibilities as seriously as I do. ”
"Well, I'll admit it. But how are you going to get such a large sum of money?"
"I don't know. Zero replied honestly, "However, I think I can borrow some money from someone first." ”
"Who would be so generous?" Victor didn't believe anyone would be willing to borrow such a sum of money.
"That's not up to them. Zero asked, "Do you know any way to get information about the Parkland chaebol?"
Victor had also heard of the big company: "I heard that they have their base camp in the north, but for specific information, I think Masters will be able to sell it." ”
Zero nodded. Sauron's figure crossed his mind.
Even if you're on the other side of the world, I'm going to find you!
