Chapter 147 The Path of Evolution Eliminated by Li Tianran
It was the same sterile, cold hospital room.
But unlike Wang Dongchuan, Bai Jingyan was still conscious. His injuries weren't any lighter than Wang Dongchuan's, and perhaps even more severe.
After the mutated leopard attacked Wang Dongchuan, it followed the scent and caught up with Bai Jingyan's car. In the end, Bai Jingyan personally killed it.
At this moment, Bai Jingyan had terrifying wounds on his chest, shoulders, and arms, revealing the ghastly white bones within the flesh.
Looking at the chest wound from the side, one could clearly see the heart beating slowly inside the chest cavity.
Bai Jingyan's exposed bones and flesh surface had dense, dark brown lines, like a spider web. Now, these spider web-like things locked in the massive loss of blood and were slowly蠕动 (rú dòng - wriggling), trying to repair his wounds.
The spider webs between the wounds combined, slowly pulling the flesh on both sides of the wounds closer, but then bursting open again...
"The body genes of a non-perfectly mutated person can repair limbs, but after the first perfect repair during mutation, the second time there is no such strong self-repair ability... This is also one of the defects." Bai Jingyan lay on the hospital bed, expressionless, and said softly to the researchers beside him, "This is important data, record it."
Several researchers stood in front of Bai Jingyan's bed, looking at Bai Jingyan's appalling body, and listening to Bai Jingyan's words at this time, they all felt a chill run down their spines.
How strong of a heart does it take to support him in this situation, and still be able to calmly direct others to use his body as an object of observation and record experimental data?
At this moment, the communication phone in the sterile ward rang.
A researcher answered, and then a look of ecstasy appeared on his face, and said, "Miss Nan brought back the blood of a perfectly mutated creature."
Bai Jingyan took a deep breath, the speed and amplitude of his heartbeat increased slightly, and the heart wall touched the hideous protruding bone spur in his chest cavity, causing a look of pain to appear on his face!
Until now, what threatened Bai Jingyan's life was not the injuries on his body.
Even the body of a non-perfectly mutated person possesses extremely strong vitality. Although his injuries look terrifying, they are not actually fatal.
What can really kill Bai Jingyan is the power of mutation itself.
The bone spur in his chest was almost touching his heart. In less than 24 hours, this bone spur would pierce his heart and completely end his life.
Bai Jingyan once tried to surgically cut off this bone spur, but regrettably, perhaps because of the mutated body's strong recovery ability, the bone spur grew back in less than thirty minutes after being cut off, and it was even sharper, thicker and longer than before it was cut off!
Finally, Bai Jingyan came to a conclusion.
This bone spur is the life defect of a non-perfectly mutated person, and it is impossible to improve it through acquired repair!
"Analyze it immediately." A sharp light appeared in Bai Jingyan's eyes: "I only have twenty-four hours left."
The huge research institute started running again.
Like Li Tianran's blood before, Xiao Hei's blood was added to the reagent and then quickly analyzed.
A series of data comparison results were quickly printed out.
But unlike the last time, this time the data comparison made these researchers very excited.
"The arrangement order of the twentieth pair of chromosomes has changed..."
"According to blood cell analysis, the biological bone density is more than ten times that of ordinary canines..."
"It has 79 chromosomes, one more than ordinary canines..."
Soon, countless conclusions that excited the researchers were drawn.
They only used a few short hours to completely analyze the differences between Xiao Hei's blood and ordinary canine blood.
"This creature has had its genetic lock opened... The extra chromosome will greatly increase its size, strength, speed, and bone density, increasing it tenfold, and the upper limit is far more than that!"
Finally, someone said tremblingly.
They came to the conclusion that the source of the perfectly mutated power in Xiao Hei's blood is the extra chromosome!
"This extra chromosome can almost be called... divinity."
A researcher said, his eyes full of amazement: "This is the gene of a perfectly mutated person, not the chaotic gene combination in the bodies of monsters created by those V-shaped viruses..."
"How was it born?"
Someone asked in a deep voice.
"The time is too short... We can't know how this chromosome grew, but we can copy it." The researcher said, "Although the probability is very small and the difficulty is very high, we can give it a try!"
The atmosphere in the analysis room was boiling.
They almost wanted to hug each other and cry.
What could be more exciting than this?
An amazing feat seemed to be born from their hands!
"Start copying immediately!" Nan Nan ordered.
Precise machinery was running, and thousands of medicines were taken out, neutralized, and decomposed, just to create an environment in which that one chromosome could survive.
Everyone's face was filled with狂热 (kuáng rè - fervent) expressions.
...
Li Tianran sat in the planting area, looking at the green in front of him.
"Lv4 God-level Buffed Cherry Tomato
Growth Rate: 86%
Growth Status: Good
Time to Maturity: 36 hours
Description: It is close to maturity, and the evolutionary effects attached to its fruit have been manifested. The fully mature fruit and seeds promote evolution in completely different ways. The lv4 fruit can truly open the human body's hidden treasures.
Lv4 evolutionary pathways that can be opened: Intellect Type (affects human body's electromagnetic field, can hypnotize, read minds, control electronic machinery) 4%, Divine Descent Type (develops different abilities in the human body, such as eternal life, winged flight, extreme speed) 4%, Ancient God Type (god-like abilities, such as controlling weather, water sources, fire, and other substances) 0.4%, Ancestral Type (awakens bloodline gene memory, enhances the body's original data, obtains ancient racial talents, such as hunting instincts, reconnaissance instincts) 80%...
The direction of evolution is divided into four paths.
Among them, the Intellect Type and Divine Descent Type are already abnormal enough, and the Ancient God Type is completely a legendary power, and the activation probability is pitifully small.
On the other hand, the probability of the Ancestral Type is very high...
But thinking about it, it is understandable. Compared with the other three types of evolution, the Ancestral Type does not have much advantage at all.
Living beings are constantly evolving towards perfection. How much effect can ancient racial talents have?
"System, if I eat the lv4 fruit and start Ancestral Type evolution, can I reset it?" Li Tianran asked.
"The host can continue to eat lv4 fruits. If other types of evolution are activated again, the host can independently choose to retain any one of the evolutionary methods." The system's response put Li Tianran at ease.
He had worked so hard for so long, he didn't want to end up turning himself into the most useless Ancestral Type evolution!
"So... Xiao Hei's Ancestral Type can also be changed?" Li Tianran squinted his eyes: "The Ancestral Type is useless in the end... It can't change the level of life. Even if it grows as big as a mountain in the end, the essence of carbon-based creatures determines that it can't withstand an armor-piercing rocket..."
Just when Bai Jingyan and others were still ecstatic about obtaining the genes of an Ancestral Type evolved creature, Li Tianran had already decided to eliminate this useless evolutionary path.
What he wants to take is the real path of the gods!
