National Gardener: I can choose the evolution path of spiritual plants

……

On the 23rd day of the virus release, the sky was clear, and another 50,000 mice were infected with the virus.

On the 24th day of the virus release, the sky was cloudy, and 1 million mice were purchased from the foreign ministers stationed around the world on Radiation Island and transported to Radiation Island by cruise ship.

On the 25th day of the virus release, the sky was overcast.

After collecting 1 million infection points, Lin Zhi finally evolved all four abilities of the virus to level 6.

On the 26th day of the virus release, there were showers, and nothing happened.

On the 27th day of the virus release, there were heavy rains, and nothing happened.

On the 28th day of the virus release, there was light rain, and nothing happened.

On the 29th day of the virus release, it was cloudy, and nothing happened.

On the 30th day of the virus release, it was sunny, and the virus had a new mutation.

On the 31st day of the virus release, due to the madness of the Radiation Island government, a million mice were invested in experiments, and Lin Zhi's accumulated infection points exceeded 10 million in just ten days.

Lin Zhi, who was extremely excited, quickly upgraded the virus's adaptability.

After experiencing the mutation brought by the growth of the virus's adaptability, Lin Zhi felt that this enhanced adaptability was a magical skill for the virus.

After the upgrade, as expected, the virus evolved.

Virus: Demon virus

Evolution level: D

Strengthening level: lv7

Virus effect: Demonization (after being infected with the virus, there is a chance to gain demonic abilities and become a demon.)

〖Virus ability〗

Extreme·Droplet transmission: The virus host will release the virus into the outside world when talking, sneezing, etc. The virus exposed to the outside world will survive for 2 hours in a non-toxic environment below 60℃ and can float in the air to infect new hosts.

Advanced·Heterogeneous transmission: The virus acquires the ability to infect all mammals, reptiles, and birds.

Extreme·Disguise: After the virus infects the host, it can disguise itself as normal bacteria and further intercept nutrients in the human body, with a 30% chance of being detected by the immune system.

Advanced·Stealing: The virus can disguise itself as beneficial bacteria and steal three related abilities.

Extreme·Immune deception: After the virus infects the host, each virus monomer has a one in a billion chance of inducing the immune system to kill normal cells and disguise and replace them.

Advanced · Replication: A successfully disguised virus will have a one in ten billion chance of replicating a new daughter.

Final Adaptation: After the virus infects the host, it will be affected and will undergo adaptive changes, with a one in a billion chance of adaptive mutation.

Primary · Nirvana: When the host's emotions are out of control, the body is severely overdrawn, or severely injured, and lethal drugs are no longer suitable for the virus to breed, the virus individual will invade the nervous system. When the invasion degree reaches more than 50%, the host will be controlled to have disgust, hallucinations, auditory hallucinations, visual hallucinations, etc. about the surrounding environment, and make behaviors that are conducive to the virus leaving the original host, parasitizing a new host, and thus rebirth.

Mutation · Gluttony: The demon virus acquires the ability to secrete "enhanced digestive enzymes", which makes the infected person continue to have a desire to eat and can quickly digest and absorb nutrients.

Mutation · Photosynthesis: The demon virus acquires bacterial capabilities and optimizes mutations, and can perform photosynthesis to generate nutrients.

Infection Enhancement: lv6 (0/10 million)

Resistance Enhancement: lv6 (0/10 million)

Transmission Enhancement: lv6 (0/10 million)

Adaptation Enhancement: lv7 (0/100 million)

Seeing the newly evolved virus, Lin Zhi suddenly felt a headache.

He seemed to have upgraded the wrong skill.

The adaptability was enhanced to level 7, and the first two abilities were actually merged into an ultimate adaptability, which was very powerful.

However, the newly emerged Nirvana seemed to be powerful enough to control the host's behavior.

It accelerated the death of the host. The infected who were emotionally out of control were controlled by the virus invasion, and their crazy behavior was likely to be treated as "zombies" by the government for "humane destruction".

Especially the millions of mice, if they were so crazy that they could not be controlled, there would be no psychological pressure to be killed.

This is not a good thing in the long run.

Lin Zhi needs the demon virus to be milder, and the virus needs to have strong transmission ability and strong resistance and not be easily eliminated. Only sustainable development can accumulate enough infection points for enhancement and upgrading.

You know, the main task of the system is to evolve the virus to level B.

It is currently at level D, one C away from level B. Converted into the enhancement level, it needs to be upgraded from level 7 to level 13.

To upgrade from level 7 to level 8, 100 million infection points are required.

Logically, to upgrade from level 12 to level 13, 10 trillion infection points are required.

How many people are there on Radiation Island?

Just over 200 million.

The urbanization of Radiation Island is high, and the wild area is low. Even if various vertebrates and invertebrates are added, it is still a question whether the number can exceed 10 billion.

Even if the entire Radiation Island is infected, it will take at least 3 years of accumulation to upgrade to level B.

Therefore, the virus cannot be too strong. If it is strong enough to kill the host, it will not be worth the loss.

Lin Zhi regretted it a little. He felt that he should first strengthen the virus's ability to spread or resist.

If the ability to spread can increase the insect transmission route or even the bacterial transmission route, the problem of infection points will be solved.

As for resistance, from the current virus ability, these resistances are all beneficial to the human body.

For example, the replication of beneficial bacteria and the replacement of human cell tissues.

On the 32nd day after the virus was released, Lin Zhi heard from the news that what he had worried about had happened.

After a month of isolation and depression, people who were already extremely emotionally unstable became crazy. Under the influence of the virus, they rushed out of their homes and vandalized the streets.

Rats and other animals that were hunted by the killing squad also launched suicidal counterattacks.

When a self-defense team member accidentally killed a crazy infected person outside, things escalated again.

This day. The government issued an announcement: At the end of the Taurus virus, the human brain tissue is destroyed, and brain death forms monsters similar to "zombie". The brain-dead "zombie" currently in centralized isolation will be humanely destroyed.

Due to the threat of the "zombie" virus, the uninfected people suddenly became much more "behaved".

After this announcement was issued, there were no mass riots or demonstrations. Instead, many people supported the government's actions online.

As a result, on this day, more than 100,000 severely infected people in centralized isolation on the Radiation Island were bombed by Hefu gasoline and incendiary bombs, and the power grid and firepower. The isolation building was also destroyed and turned into ruins.

Lin Zhi lost the source of more than 100,000 infection points every day.

As for the 1 million white mice, they have not gone crazy yet due to the short time of infection.

So, nothing happens for now.

Unfortunately and fortunately, the destruction of more than 100,000 islanders contributed more than 1 million infection points to Lin Zhi.

Lin Zhi was glad that he was not an islander and was born on a radiation island that treated its people like nothing.

…

It's night, on the outskirts of Tokyo, the quarantine building is in ruins.

There was movement in the collapsed reinforced concrete. Under the moonlight, only a thin figure could be seen lifting up the rubble and slowly crawling out of the ruins.

Under the moonlight, the figure's body surface was emitting fluorescent light and seemed to be slowly squirming.

His face was beyond recognition, his skin was like charcoal. After crawling out of the ruins, he crazily stuffed plants and shrubs from the surrounding fields into his mouth.

Soon, large areas of plants and shrubs were digested, and his body bulged at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The figure slowly stood up and walked towards the nearby mountains.

At the same time, Lin Zhi got a system prompt.

[The devil virus has mutated. Will it consume 1.21 million infection points to update the virus structure? 】

[The devil virus has mutated. Will it consume 1.21 million infection points to update the virus structure? 】

[The devil virus has mutated. Will it consume 1.21 million infection points to update the virus structure? 】

There were three message prompts in a row. Lin Zhi quickly clicked on the virus to view it and found that the virus had three mutation abilities:

Mutation·Fire Resistance: The devil virus gains the ability to withstand combustion and high temperatures, and can survive in temperatures as high as 1,000 degrees.

Mutations·Energy-accumulating cells: When the host is exposed to flames and has its body ignited or is shocked by electricity, the demon virus will strengthen the host cells so that the host cells can withstand 1,000 degrees of high temperature or 1,000 volts of voltage, and can absorb flames and light. It can store energy and electricity, and continuously strengthen the host's high-temperature-resistant cells or electricity-resistant cells.

Mutated Balrog/Thunder Demon: The demon virus further modifies the assimilated cell structure, allowing the host to introduce the energy stored in the cells into the body surface. After contact with the air, violent friction generates flames or electric current.

"What happened? The devil virus mutated so much?"

Lin Zhi thought of news reports about the humane destruction of severely infected people in Hefu on the radiation island.

Could it be that there are survivors among those severely infected?

After thinking about it, Lin Zhi did not update all three mutant abilities because he did not want "extraordinary life" to appear on Radiation Island so soon.

"Energy storage cells and balrogs cannot be updated, but fire resistance can." Lin Zhi spent more than 1.21 million infection points to update the virus in all infected people.

…

101 Lab.

"Instructor, it says that you should produce the results as soon as possible, otherwise all the experimental rats will be destroyed."

"Tell them not to rush, this is scientific research! Viruses are a double-edged sword, so what if you pay a small price? Didn't we successfully gain the ability to photosynthesize from the horn madness?"

"They don't listen. The government has issued an ultimatum. If no effective results are produced within 10 days, all experimental rats will be destroyed and an elimination plan will be implemented for the infected."

"These damn bastards!"

…

Hokkaido, an unknown volcano.

In the heart of the mountain, lava is rolling, smoke with the smell of sulfur is lingering, and a figure is walking on the hot rocks.

He held a bunch of squeaking rats in his hands and dropped them into the lava.

Zhi...

The high temperature of the magma instantly melted the mouse, leaving no residue behind.

"not enough……"

He said to himself, deep into the magma with his hand, picked up a handful of flowing hot molten liquid, and poured it down from above his head.

hiss!

Blood bubbles instantly formed on the figure's body where the lava had flowed. He endured the pain and continued to scoop up the lava and "bathe" in it.

The surrounding fiery energy was absorbed by his body surface, and the burned and bloody skin quickly grew again.

There was no sun or moon in the mountain, and the figure repeatedly bathed in magma for an unknown amount of time. Finally, the magma could not cause any harm to him.

He led an Akita dog to the lava shore.

Pick up the lava with your hands and wipe it on the dog's back.

The Akita immediately showed a relieved expression.

The figure smiled slightly and pushed it into the magma.

The Akita was frightened and struggled desperately in the lava.

But after struggling for a while, I seemed to feel something, and started swimming happily in the magma.

"It's done!"

The figure smiled and jumped into the magma.

Lying on the lava lake, the figure looked fiercely and said to himself, "Damn Hefu, wait for me, Kawato Ikki, to lead the Burning Legion to take revenge!"

I don’t know how long it took, but Kawato Ikki climbed ashore.

He led the Akita dog away from the volcano and walked towards the countryside.

At present, the main spread of the virus is in Tokyo, and prevention and control in surrounding areas is not too serious.

Kawato Ikki took advantage of the darkness and quickly sneaked into the village.

He came to a house, and flames suddenly rose from his body. He covered the house with his hands, and the wooden door was instantly ignited, burning a big hole.

Kawato Ikki sneaked into the room and came to the bedroom.

He spat at the people in the bedroom, then turned and left.

Overnight, he visited the entire village.

Those who were sleeping heavily were spit upon by him, and those who were awakened from their sleep were sent to heaven.

The night fades and the day comes.

The villagers woke up and were shocked to find a big hole in their house, which had been burned down.

Before he could wake up from his confusion, he was called together by the old village chief.

Kawato Ikki was suddenly at the village chief's house.

"So you have been infected with the Nitrogen Madness Virus. Whether you want to wait here for the humane destruction of Hefu or become stronger and protect yourself, it is your choice!"

"You deserve to die!"

Someone impulsively punched Kawato Ikki.

A cruel smile appeared on Kawato Ikki's face, and thousands of pores on his naked body were filled with flames.

The high temperature distorts the surrounding air.

"devil!!!"

The villagers backed away in fear.

"die!"

Kawato Ikki moved quickly to the man who was punching him and grabbed his neck.

The flames spread from his hands towards the man, instantly igniting him and causing his whole body to burst into flames.

Soon, the man was burned to ashes.

Because the virus in his body has not yet reached a certain concentration and assimilated into cells, it was burned by the flames.

"Are you envious of this god-like power? The virus you are infected has the same origin as mine. As long as you practice with flames below 1,000 degrees, you can acquire a fire element physique. Then gradually increase the temperature, and finally your body will no longer be afraid of magma!"

Kawato Ikki explained.

His purpose in spreading the virus was not to vent his emotions, but to cause more "fire element extraordinary beings" to be born.

Fire-type extraordinary people will definitely have arrogant and restless people, which will cause trouble to the Hefu.

As long as the virus continues to spread, thousands of extraordinary people will appear.

In the end, he will be able to overthrow the Hefu and complete his revenge!

"The day my Burning Legion takes shape will be the end of Hefu!"

Thinking of the proud place, Kawato Ikki said with a cruel smile.

"Hahaha, I am the Flame King!"

The 40th day of virus release.

Lin Zhi stayed in the villa and lay down as usual.

Suddenly, a message on his cell phone alarmed him.

"Major breakthrough, horn madness may become a sharp sword for mankind to overcome terminal diseases!" 》

Lin Zhi quickly clicked on the article.

The article states that after more than a month of research, medical scientist Juro Inaka gave the tauropod virus the ability to "phagocytose aging and diseased cells" and reshape "new cells."

In clinical trials, tauropodia can effectively treat most diseases, such as heart disease, hepatitis B, AIDS, kidney failure, pneumonia, various cancers, etc.

And it can make the elderly look decades younger.

After reading the article, Lin Zhi couldn't help but curl his lips.
