Chapter 176 - Worm Blood
Since the strange regenerated yellow cells of the wounded and sick people were found in Fangshi Basin, Tianxiang has been thinking about a question repeatedly, why the substance secreted from the locusts can effectively protect the wound surface of human body? According to his initial idea, this should be a strange phenomenon that some kind of mutated locusts appeared. However, after returning to Liaodu and re-examining the corpse found at the Lijiadui Farm, he began to doubt his thoughts. Because, according to the results of the examination, all the corpses died after being fatally attacked. In other words, bleeding and injury, such normal means of injury are not enough to make these people die. On the contrary, the rapidly healing wounds and the blood that stopped in time can also provide enough physical strength for the deceased themselves. Chen Zhiwen's words finally made him think of the key.
It made him understand why the other party did not know the other function of this cell. Even Tianxiang began to have an epiphany of the specific cause of the human-faced locust. He suspected that the source of this mutated insect was probably not entirely derived from evolution as he had imagined. Instead, it was artificially changed the process of their reproduction. After all, insects based on human serum should not have human appearance characteristics in a short period of time. After all, the six hundred years of evolutionary period seems too short for any organism. It is so short that even the simplest cell cannot mutate. If it is mixed with external factors, things will naturally be much simpler and can fully explain most of the current questions. Sure enough, Chen Zhiwen's next words confirmed his latest thoughts.
"This special substance extracted from human serum should be a new variety of cells produced by special transformation and mutations from proteases. I don't know how that computer did this, but one thing is certain - it must have killed many people for a long time and based on this, accumulating and creating a large number of such cells. Because the number of new cells necessary to transform a hunter is too large. It has reached a considerable number. If there is not enough stock, it cannot..." "It must have other sources of cells, right?" Suddenly, Tianxiang interrupted suddenly, which made Chen Zhiwen stunned.
"Yes! You're right!" The man said frankly: "In addition to absorbing blood from living people, it does have another way to obtain it... How? Do you want to know?"
"Of course!" Speaking of this question, Chen Zhiwen's expression on his face was a little strange. It seemed that he didn't want to reply to Tianxiang's request. However, the faint pain from his swollen cheeks also silently reminded him what kind of terrible consequences would bring about resistance or concealment. In this way, the huge gap between his heart and reality made it difficult for him to choose, and he couldn't say a word for a long time. "What? Don't you want to say?" Looking at the other party's awkward look, Tianxiang snorted coldly: "Are you still thinking about regaining the current situation? Fantasizing to use those technologies to develop your tribe. Then come and have a big battle with me? Hum! I advise you to give up this idea. Because no matter from any aspect, you are not my opponent. What's more, the method of creating that kind of cell is not a great secret. Simply put, it's just to use another creature instead.
It's just humans. Is what I said right?" "You...you...how...how...how...how...it's impossible." Hearing this, Chen Zhiwen's eyes suddenly showed a look of fear and incredible expression. He saw him shook his head and said, "I went through a lot of hardships to get this secret from the computer. How could you know? It's impossible." "Nothing impossible." Looking at the other party's fearful eyes, Tianxiang said calmly: "There was a saying from the ancients: "There is no airtight wall in the world." Since this is the fact, someone will know it. Even if the degree of confidentiality is strictly, there will definitely be times when the outside world knows it. What's more, you have forgotten a very important point - I have swallowed up your entire Black Cloud Clan. In other words, I am not very clear about the little secret you have in the Black Cloud Clan..."
"... So, you... already know about the locust?" Chen Zhiwen suddenly realized, "No wonder..." Tian Xiang did not answer, but just looked at him calmly, waiting for the following words.
"How much do you know about that kind of locust...?" The handsome man quickly turned his eyes a few times and cunningly changed his way of asking.
"Many." Tianxiang did not avoid it, and replied very simply: "I know everything I should know, and I know what I shouldn't know, too." "Oh? Then can you tell me what you know?" As if to make a special defense, Chen Zhiwen quickly explained: "Don't get me wrong, I mean, for that kind of locust... If you don't understand anything, I can answer it separately... Hehehe... Of course, before this, at least you have to tell me how much you know..." "No need to be so troublesome." Tianxiang pulled out the dagger from his feet and threw it in his palm, casually answering, "Tell me everything you know, I can also verify it by the way. See if that woman Liu Shunyun is lying. If so, then someone must pay the price between you and her."
Such confession is quite direct and is enough to make the listener understand the key to the problem. Chen Zhiwen, who is unimaginable, could only dejectedly tell the secrets buried in his heart one by one, so that he could find some protective umbrellas that could be used for himself from the other party's obvious intimidation, but he had no choice but to find some protective umbrellas that could be used for himself... The origin of the human-faced locust should be from that strange and mysterious computer. This is an important information obtained by Chen Zhiwen, who was "kidnapped", in the biological experimental base. He once saw with his own eyes many hunters were transformed into walking dead who obeyed the computer directly, and had also seen that rare regenerated cells were frequently used in large quantities. However, The most frightening thing made him the most, and it was the time when he saw with his own eyes a robot with four pairs of working arms. He extracted a large amount of light green insect blood from a locust of size and size, poured it into a huge glassware, and then separated it from it, and finally formed regenerated cells that could be used directly on humans. When he saw that kind of cell for the first time, Chen Zhiwen thought he had seen the most incredible scene in ancient fantasy novels. He never dreamed that the human whose limbs were cut off could keep the muscles at the fracture fresh and energetic for a long time with the help of such cells. Although he didn't know how long this effect could last, according to his secret calculations, one of the hunters had been cut off his hands and completely exposed to the air for more than 240 hours. Until his hands were reconnected, the muscles of the wound showed no signs of necrosis. This result made him unable to help but be stunned. After escaping from the control of the computer, Chen Zhi did not delay time. He scraped off all the regeneration and fines attached to the surface of his body's wound as quickly as possible. In other parts of his body, a large number of new wounds were cut and filled in again. This method lasted for nearly a week. Found and joined the Black Cloud Tribe at that time. Because, from the knowledge instilled in himself by computers, he already knew quite well that these cells were from human blood and could rely on each other to survive with the red blood cells in it. When needed, they could replace and speed up the red blood cells. Correspondingly, they had to draw and swallow a certain number of red blood cells from the blood as their necessary nutritional supplements. Of course, he did not forget that he had seen the scene when a robot extracted liquid from the locust. Therefore, after gaining full control of the Black Cloud Tribe and discovering one of the biological laboratories in ruins, Chen Zhiwen began to implement his plan.
He knew very well that cell cultivation would never be as simple as planting vegetables in ancient times. It had to adapt to the environment accordingly. The locust that was extracted by a robot had naturally become a completely guess-making link in his plan. At that time, Chen Zhiwen didn't know what the use of the locust's blood was. However, with his smart mind and a lot of knowledge as a support, plus actual operating experience, he was surprised to find that compared to humans, the locust's body is actually a better cell survival.
Environment. Moreover, the regenerated cells extracted from locusts seem to have their own kind that are cultivated in the blood of ordinary humans, and have stronger biological abilities. In a state of overjoyment, Chen Zhiwen began to transform the tribe's people secretly. He began to no longer manage the affairs of the tribe, but instead handed over all the things to his close friends. In this way, when the biological experiments were made major breakthroughs, the management of the tribe naturally became increasingly chaotic. In the end, those close friends who were entrusted with important tasks even quietly
Joining together quietly, discussing the idea of completely undermining him and killing him. A new Black Cloud Clan leader was reborn. When he found that the situation was wrong, the clan was already facing the dilemma of lack of food. Just as the rebels were about to implement the plan, Chen Zhiwen's experiment also achieved considerable results. Using the corpses of dozens of clans, he finally created a reselected person with a strong body. However, just as he was about to prepare for the final stage of cell transplantation of the reselected person, the rebels also broke through the gate of the underground laboratory.
They were ready to force him to submit. However, they never dreamed that the ability to transform people's combat is really excellent. Not only did they successfully subdue all the people involved in the transformation, but they also captured most of them alive. However, for various reasons, the re-selected people were completely separated into a pile of scattered meat shortly after the battle, and they could no longer play any role. Looking for a new ethnic manager was the result of Chen Zhiwen's calm thinking while angry. It was from that time that Liu Shunyun began to enter his sight.
He found this woman among a group of meat people who were cut off their hands and feet, stayed among the meat people who were about to become tomorrow's food. According to his original plan, he re-attached Liu Shunyun's limbs so that she could become a loyal confidant with gratitude. This was the most important purpose. However, he never dreamed that this woman actually had a beautiful face and a graceful figure, which made him involuntarily develop a trace of inexplicable love. This situation lasted for a long time. Of course, Chen Zhiwen was not the kind of fool who forgot everything with a woman. In order to intimidate and impose his might, he even had a short time.
Liu Shunyun performed six limb transplants, and replaced them with those hands and feet that had been carefully selected and modified. The purpose of this was, on the one hand, to replace the beloved woman with more beautiful and suitable limbs, on the other hand, to make her feel a potential fear of herself, so that she can eventually become the spokesperson for the leader of her group. Chen Zhiwen's idea is intricate and her approach is extremely bold. However, he obviously forgot the most important thing - hunger. The lack of prey around the Black Cloud people's residence makes them able to feed on their companions. This can only be done within the group.
The ministry planted more seeds of hidden dangers. Even if Liu Shunyun was loyal to him, it would be useless. After all, in the eyes of most hunters, only the leader who could make him eat and wear a good meal is a qualified leader. If Chen Zhiwen could calm down, if he was not so eager to transform his tribe, if he could calm his mind a little while he was fanatical. Perhaps, things would never have evolved into what he is today. However, he, who was dreaming of having greater power, could no longer think about these auxiliary means. In his opinion at that time, as long as he could have one hundred transformed people, even if he gave up the entire tribe, it would be absolutely cost-effective.
He knew that the previously dead transformed man had a powerful combat ability that left him an indelible impression. Therefore, Chen Zhiwen did not respond to Liu Shunyun's frequent request to lead the tribe. He also completely denied the request of the entire tribe to move elsewhere to obtain more prey resources. What a joke, the location of the biology laboratory is here. Once he leaves, how can he conduct the next stage of experiments? However, in the face of the terrible hunger that always hangs over the tribe's heads, he also had to come up with a plan to change the current situation. So a very bold and terrifying plan began to gradually form in his mind.
Simply put, the whole plan can be summarized into one sentence: use a certain number of tempting corpses to feed a large number of locusts and use them for daily consumption by the ethnic group. Such a plan is not Chen Zhiwen's delusion, but it does have a basis for implementation. After mastering the biological gene bank, he easily created a pair of locust protozoa with strong reproductive ability. Based on this, he then used a hidden basement nearby as a nest to form a complete locust breeding area. The first day of the egg laying of the protozoa, the nest reached a relatively saturated number. A few days later, when Chen Zhiwen walked into the basement again, he was completely stunned by the dense locust larvae in front of him. He could only stand there in a lurking manner, and could no longer close his mouth.
It should be admitted that although such a plan is unacceptable, it does have a very necessary effect as a short-term emergency response. However, even Chen Zhiwen himself did not expect that when the insect nest had just provided the first batch of meat to the tribe, he suddenly discovered under a microscope that the strange regenerated cells had achieved symbiosis with the locust itself. The unexpected discovery made him stunned at that time and could not come back to his senses for a long time. This should be caused by a completely wrong experiment. After verifying and repeating his entire experiment process many times, Chen Zhiwen finally discovered that when he was creating the locust protozoa, he accidentally mixed some human serum with regenerated cells into the locust's gene culture root, which led to the production of this strange creature.
