Beonlis, who was still smiling, saw Zero Shi, who was covered in scars. His smile suddenly froze, and tears the size of beans rolled in his eyes. She naturally knew who Zero's body injury was for. Suddenly, Beonlis, despite the fact that Zero was still stepping on her body, flew into his arms and hugged Zero tightly.

She didn't speak, but Zero could feel Beonlise's body trembling. At this moment, any kind of speech is pale.

After a moment, Zero patted her on the back and said, "I'm fine, Bess." My injuries weren't as bad as you thought, but they were ugly on the surface. ”

It's true, after the DNA memory group was accidentally activated by the undead, although Zero doesn't know how many memory sets were activated, it is certain that even if it was only a tenth, they would have organized to generate any matter to repair Zero's still normal human body. The most horrific of biological acids has been drained, and now Zero's more serious injury is the left hand that has been severely injured by the Berserker.

But now, even this deformed arm is gradually recovering with the repair of the genetic material generated by the memory. At least the left hand is now sentient, which means that the neural network has been restored, followed by the correction of muscle tissue and bones. When the memory group is activated, the most noticeable change in Zero is that the body recovers much faster than before, and the repair is more complete and precise.

Hearing Zero say this, Beonlise was relieved. The beautiful family master looked at the body under Zero's feet, frowned, and said, "What are you keeping this thing for?"

"Naturally, our great Dr. Cod was brought out. ”

Zero told Beonliz to pull back, and he bent down on his own, reaching for the back of the Yan. A layer of energy force field is distributed on Zero's hand, making Zero's hand as sharp as a scalpel. The energy field easily tore through the muscles on the back of the body, and Zero probed into its body, directly catching the two predatory tentacles. First he cut off one of them, and then put Zero on the remaining tentacle.

Instinctively, the tip of the tentacle immediately cracked and bit into Zero's palm. The next moment, Zero felt the blood being drained from the tentacles' mouthparts. Beonise looked at Zero in surprise, not understanding what Zero Weishenme was going to do. And it didn't take long for her to know the answer.

A scream rang out outside the control room, followed by stumbling footsteps from far and near. Beonlise turned to look, and a thin figure flashed through the door, it was Dr. Corde. Dr. Cod had torn off his researcher's coat at this moment, and a chunk of exoskeleton biological armor had formed on his thin body, and a strong energy glow was shining through the center of his chest.

Judging from his breath, Dr. Kode was already firmly standing at the level of the Eighth Order and marching towards the Ninth Order. But his expression was very painful, and the doctor cried out in a voice that was almost wailing, "For God's sake, please stop!"

"Are you finally willing to come out, Doctor, I thought you wanted to continue playing hide and seek. Zero sneered, his hand pulling away from the tentacles of the Derivation, but he was still not ready to let go of it.

Looking at Dr. Kode, who was in great pain, he said lightly: "Sure enough, as I expected, Dr. Kode, it seems that the weakness of Z substance has been exposed." ”

"You know?" said with a wry smile, "I thought destroying Callahan's old fellow's profile would be enough to disguise its weakness, but you unearthed its weakness from the battle." All I can say is that you have a very terrible fighting instinct. Can you tell me your name? ”

"My name is Zero. ”

After reporting his name, Zero stepped on the derivative body below with his foot and said, "I admit that the property of Z matter, or instinct, that evolves in response to external stimuli is very terrifying. And theoretically speaking, as long as it is given time, the life parasitic of Z matter will one day become the overlord of this planet. However, the theory is only a theory, after all, the Z substance came from the super life of the Quaternary period, and the genetic fragments created by it are far less complete than the clones, so there are various defects. ”

Kede's eyes widened, and he was very surprised to hear the words "clone" from his mouth, and Dr. Zuihou smiled bitterly: "Egg's big mouth is not less, the Quaternary super life and the clone Jihua are all top secret, and he left a record like this." ”

"What does it matter? Times are different, Doctor. Zero continued, "From the very beginning when your researcher-like derivatives attacked us, I thought they were the tools that you, the subject, used to gather combat information and evolve it. But now it seems that this is not the case. Rather than collecting information, they passively receive it and use it as a basis for evolution. The biggest disadvantage of passive evolution is the loss of autonomy, in other words, no matter whether the evolved life form is good or bad, you as a subject cannot stop it. But this is far from the comment of fatal flaw, until "

Until the battle with the undead's Zuihou, the undead's evolution rate increased by a hundredfold after coming into contact with Zero's blood. This allows Zero to know that Substance Z is able to read genetic information in a living organism's blood and adjust the speed and level of evolution according to its threat. Unfortunately, Agradis once made Zero feel the liliang of the twelfth order, which means that Zero has the potential of the twelfth order.

This potential is also engraved in the zero gene, and when the Z substance reads this information, it judges that there is a huge threat to zero, so it autonomously enters the process of high-speed evolution.

"However, when it was about to ascend to the ninth order, the genes collapsed. Then I have reason to imagine that there is something like an upper limit in matter Z, and beyond this upper limit, it will self-destruct due to overload. Zero looked at Kede with interest and said, "Then you, as the subject, must have a connection between yourself and the derivation. And so it was, it was in the biochemical zone before. You are indeed evolving through the battle of the Derive, even if the magnitude of the evolution is not obvious. So I'm thinking, what would happen to you if you were to have one of your derivatives take a lot of my blood, Dr. Code?"

Kode remained silent, and after a long time, he sighed heavily: "Although your inference is not entirely correct, it is not far off. I don't know what the so-called ninth order is, and I don't know what the evolutionary upper limit of Z matter is. In Karahan's report, he simply pointed out that the cell of substance Z is extremely expandable, which allows it to hold a very large amount of energy. But it takes time to digest this energy, and once it receives too much stimulation from the outside world, it will cause a rapid evolution of the autonomy of matter. And high-speed evolution inevitably produces a huge amount of energy, and if this energy is not digested in time, the cells of the Z substance will die. In other words, I, as the host, will also die. ”

"So, should I send you to hell now? Honestly, with my current blood-forming ability, I should be able to counteract the rate at which your body is eating. Why don't we try it?", he said, reaching for the tentacles of the Derivation again.

"No, no, no!" called out Corde, "please stop." As long as you're willing to let me go, I can do anything for you. ”

"Your potential is only the ninth order, and I already have several companions with great potential. So it looks like I don't need a vampire like you, do I, Doctor?"

"That's right. Kod replied, "If it's a fight, I admit it's not good." But I'm not a warrior, I'm a scientist. My specialty is weapons and precision mechanics, so I guess I'll have some value. Besides, I can produce one of them a day like the undead. And they belong to independent combat units, as long as you give me time, I can produce a legion of derivations for you. A legion of the undead!"

Hearing this, Zero was indeed moved.

Think about it, what a terrifying battle force a legion of eighth-order monsters must be. Coupled with Dr. Kode's strengths, it can be said that Zero's current team still lacks an expert in weapons and mechanics like Kode.

"But how can you promise that you won't harm me?" Zero said coldly, "Please forgive me for my caution, after all, your danger has been shown before. If you can't give me a reassuring guarantee, I'd rather lose an army of Rank 8 monsters and a good scientist than leave behind a bomb that could explode at any moment. ”

"Well, I can give you that assurance. Kod suddenly reached into his chest, and a moment later, his arm full of viscous liquid reached for Zero and opened his palm. In the palm of his hand, a substance like a bead of blood slowly fluttered in the air. It constantly changes shape, and in a moment it has formed a small exoskeleton on its surface.

"What is this?"

"The core of the Z substance. Kede said: "I can give it to you for safekeeping, you can study it, absorb it, I have no opinion." And more importantly, if you ruin it, then I'll die in no time because of the genetic collapse. How, is such a guarantee sufficient?"

Zero nodded, and Kod gently grabbed the bead of blood and headed towards Zero. Zero reached out to catch it and threw it into his mouth as soon as possible. The core of substance Z just ran down the esophagus into Zero's body, but Zero did not choose to absorb it, but instead generated a biological capsule in his body and collected the blood bead.

In the process, he stretched out his tentacles of thought and went deep into the core, and immediately obtained a large amount of data. In these data, there is indeed a part of the data that is consistent with Kode's words. And there are other things that Kode himself does not know.

After stomping heavily into the head of the Derivation, and killing the Derive, Zero walked towards Cord and held out his hand, "Welcome to join, Doctor." ”

"Should I call you master?" said Kod with a wry smile, the core in Zero's hands, and he was like a slave to Zero. In some ways, it is even worse than a slave.

Zero didn't think about it and said, "There's no need for that, you can call me by my name." Now that we're companions, I'd love to know if you don't mind. You don't seem to have lost your will when you were parasitized by Z matter, and you wanted to kill a large number of base members back then?"

"It's hunger. ”

Kede smiled bitterly: "At that time, I didn't know that I had been parasitized by the Z substance, and in the early stage, the Z substance carefully chose to fuse with my genes. During this time, I had a common illness similar to a cold and fever, and I didn't think about it. It wasn't until the Z substance was completely fused with my genes that I felt a change in myself. But at that time, I was hungry. You know that feeling, Zero. It's like I haven't eaten for a century, and the terrible hunger makes me want to eat all the food, including the people in the base. I think that in the early stage of fusion, the will was still dominated by the Z substance to a certain extent. And then by the time I was conscious, most of the personnel became my rations and that of the Derivation. ”

"That's how hatred is planted, Egger or anyone else. They didn't listen to my explanations at all, but wanted to kill me like a monster. Kode shook his head and said, "But it's not my fault, of course I'm not going to sit still, and then the result is what you see." Anyway, until now, I don't think I'm wrong. I'm just trying to survive. ”

"Like you gave me the core for safekeeping?"

"That's right. You can think I'm cowardly, but I just want to live. ”

Zero looked at him, shook his head, and said, "If you know what's going on on the surface, trust me." Doctor, death is not necessarily a bad thing. ”

"No, I have to live. But Kede insisted: "As long as I live, my dear Suna will have a chance to be reborn." ”

A certain nerve in Zero's mind was touched, just for the word "rebirth" in Kode's mouth.

Or the biochemical zone.

However, this time, Kede took Zero to the secret laboratory of the Biochemical Zone. This was supposed to be an area for the study of Substance Z, but now there is only one culture tank working. A piece of meat floats in the green nutrient base. Zero can only be described in this way, it seems, the piece of meat roughly has the outline of the human body. But the tissues on it were a mess, the teeth and eyes were patched together, the heart and intestines were tangled with each other, the arms were sticking out from the lower [yin], and so on.

It's like piecing together a lot of stuff that makes it miserable to look at.

"Is it your Suna?" Zero had a hard time associating this alien thing with a woman, and Beonise covered her mouth, she would have retched a few times if it weren't for respect.

Dr. Code sighed, "Genetically, she's Suna. ”

Suna is the wife of Dr. Kode, and at that time, Jihua was in the white blood cell base, and in order to facilitate the monitoring of all the research members, the superiors asked all the staff to bring their families to live in the base. And after the doctor was parasitized by Substance Z, a massacre was launched against the entire base due to starvation. In the process, his wife was tragically killed.

Therefore, after regaining his will, the doctor was in great pain about this, and in the following time, he extracted the cell genes on Suna's body and tried to fuse Suna's genes with Z substance. Judging from the super vitality and regenerative properties of Z matter, Kede has a great chance to let Suna regenerate in another way.

But although he is a scientist, he knows nothing about biochemistry and genetics. After years of trying, it's just a lump of meat.

Zero felt that Kode and he had something in common in this regard. So he said, "If it's biochemical genetics, I have a friend who can introduce you to you." Maybe he'll be able to help you fulfill your long-cherished wish. ”

"Really?" Kede's eyes lit up suddenly, and in these eyes, there was a glow that he had seen in many years.

This brilliance, called hope!
