star hunter

Xilin's nose is very good and can separate and analyze the mixed smells he smells. Because of this, Xilin is surprised.

Are the people who use these reagents just idle, interested in research, or for other reasons?

The smell does not come from the rain outside. From the wind direction and several other smells mixed in the airflow, it can be judged that the smell is coming from inside the building. However, in such an abandoned building, who would use

To those ancient reagents? In other words, in this day and age, who else would use that primitive method except some eccentric R&D departments?

Chasing the smell, Xilin found a thumb-thick pipe in a pile of waste. Not far along the pipe, Xilin discovered that the back part of the pipe was hidden within the wall.

It's hidden really well.

Opening a finger-sized close-range projection light tube, light blue light shone on the wall, and the pipes buried in the wall were clearly revealed. After checking, Xilin became more and more curious.

interesting.

In addition to this pipeline, Xilin discovered several more places, all of which were very hidden.

Xilin became more and more cautious. Although it was the best choice to leave here now, Xilin had a strange feeling that made him desperately want to find the reason.

Going down the pipe, we walked through twists and turns, some of which required Xilin to crawl in through the ancient vents. When we arrived at the first floor of the building, Xilin opened a hidden cover and walked along the narrow path below.

Go up the narrow stairs inside.

The surroundings were quiet, but not completely silent. After feeling carefully, he felt that there was no one within a short distance, so Xilin took the light tube and continued walking inside.

There were more and more pipes. Xilin knew that he was getting closer to the target. He took a deep breath and turned off the light tube. Although he didn't feel that there was anyone in front of him, his intuition told him that the front would not be so smooth. Although the light tube produced

The energy fluctuation was only within ten meters, but for the sake of safety, Xilin decisively turned it off.

It was pitch black all around, and Xilin relied on the subtle air flow to determine the direction and avoid obstacles. After about half an hour, the surrounding space gradually became larger, and some electronic lights the size of fingernails also appeared one after another. Through the bright light, you can see where this place is.

It has a history. And there is still dust on the electronic light board. Although it is not thick, no one has left here for at least a month.

Looking at the light spots on the wall, Xilin became more and more uneasy.

Something's wrong, something's very wrong! It's like...a trap! A trap!

A strong sense of crisis hit, Xilin didn't think much, turned around and ran back. As a hunter's intuition, he had no way to deal with the danger that might arise next.

But what was faster than Xilin was the thick special steel plate that blocked the retreat.

Xilin flipped his hand and a metal knife appeared in his hand. Although the steel plate could be cut with a laser knife, it would take a lot of time and the strong energy fluctuations of the laser knife would always expose Xilin's position.

With his back against the steel plate, Xilin quietly looked ahead. He knew that there must be someone in front of him.

Da da da……

The footsteps came towards this direction in a leisurely manner, with no intention of hiding at all, but with a confident attitude.

Click.

A beam of light shines, and the passage suddenly lights up.

Xilin squinted his eyes and quickly recovered from the discomfort caused by the change from weak light to strong light. But the person standing opposite didn't seem to be in a hurry, waiting for Xilin to recover.

It was an old man, who looked similar to a person with the F-class genotype who was nearly a hundred years old. He felt like he would die at any time. The old man's skin was brown, his body was shriveled, and his exposed arms showed muscle atrophy, because the old man was wearing a protective shield.

Through the eyepiece, Xilin could not clearly see his eyes. But the shriveled old man in front of him made Xilin feel like his whole body was trembling with chills.

The old man walked slowly towards Xilin, as leisurely as if he were taking a walk.

Strike first to gain the upper hand!

Xilin jumped up in a whoosh without leaving even an afterimage. This shows that his speed is so fast that he is not weaker than those with D-level genes.

Clang!

A harsh metallic sound sounded.

Next to the old man's carotid artery, a hand like a dead branch firmly grasped the tip of the knife, as simple as pinching a branch.

The energy fluctuations generated by both the ion knife and the laser knife are too large. With Xilin's current physical condition, the chance of exposing himself is greater, so Xilin is more willing to use cold weapons to kill people silently. But even if it is specially made like this

The alloy blade was easily blocked by the old man in front of him who looked like he was about to die. No, it should be said that he was easily pinched!

Three years of life-and-death experience as a hunter left Xilin with no time to think about it. This person in front of him was not something he could handle. Run away!

But before Xilin could make any move, his body was suddenly tightly bound by strips of liquid metal-like things. Looking at the source of those things, Xilin was shocked to find that these strips of liquid metal-like things actually came from

The five fingers that popped out of the old man's other hand are, to be precise, the extension of the old man's five fingers!

Humans? Machines? Variants? Or some unknown category?

With the cold touch, Xilin smelled the breath of death, and every pore exhaled cold air.

Click!

The alloy dagger that had claimed the lives of countless wanted criminals was crushed into pieces. The old man's skinny fingers strangled Xilin's neck, twisting Xilin up like a chicken and lifting him off the ground.

All the limbs were tied up, and the blood vessels in the neck were almost blocked.

"Haha, you came just in time." Listening to his voice, the old man seemed very happy, even a little impatient.

If most people were pinched like this, they would have rolled their eyes long ago, but Xilin still had the energy to think of countermeasures.

The old man looked at Xilin and became even more satisfied.

As doors opened and doors closed, Xilin became more and more frightened. There was such a place hidden under this slum town!

This underground secret room must have been more than thirty or fifty years old, and it is far more complicated than Xilin imagined. It is extremely well protected and concealed. Otherwise, it would not have been discovered by anyone for so many years, or who would have discovered it.

All are dead.

Xilin glanced at an open room, which was full of people who were placed in liquid tanks and preserved like specimens. The twisted expressions on those people's faces made Xilin shudder. It was obvious that before they died, these people

I endured unbearable torture.

Maybe, Xi Linbian will become one of them in the next moment.

The old man had no immediate intention to kill Xilin, and the force in his hands was well controlled, neither giving Xilin a chance to escape nor damaging Xilin's body functions.

The reason why the old man said that Xilin came at the right time was because Xilin came to his door just after the previous experimental subject died and was put into the liquid tank.

Xilin was taken to a room full of large and small instruments and tools. There were many bottles and jars on the table in one corner of the room. Several items Xilin had already identified from the gas discharged from the pipes, and these were purified DNA.

reagents.

In this era, except for those old scholars, almost no one uses or understands the original method of purifying DNA. Xilin has also done similar experiments, but it was just out of curiosity and no in-depth research was conducted.

.

To purify DNA, with today's technology, only a palm-sized instrument is needed, which is fast and precise, and can also perform functional analysis of the genome. However, no matter what kind of purification and analysis instrument is required, real-name authentication and registration are required for each instrument.

All have registration codes, chip binding and data connectivity.

Since the old man chose to purify by hand, and the posture was still large-scale purification, it means that this person is engaged in illegal research and is wanted. However, Xilin searched through the wanted information in his mind and found nothing about the person in front of him.

Yes, the planet's wanted list is public, regardless of the degree of danger. There are only two pieces of information on the wanted list, one is the picture and the other is the reward amount.

Because this laboratory is underground and covered with a rare isotope barrier layer, it has not been discovered by the "Eye of the Sky", and the instrument data in the laboratory should not be connected to the outside world, which avoids other

Exploration.

What on earth is this old man going to do?

Putting Xilin on a suspended white table, the old man pressed the button on a nearby instrument. Xilin's wrists and limbs were clasped by the cuffs emerging from the table, and thin silk threads emerged from the table, through

The clothes and pants penetrated Xilin's body, instantly turning Xilin into an experimental body filled with wire tubes. One side was full of red filament tubes, the other side was full of blue filament tubes, and the data on the monitor next to him kept beating.

Now that Xilin had been tied up by something on the stage, not even letting go of his fingers, the old man retracted his hand, and his fingers returned to their original shape of dead branches. After injecting Xilin with a tube of sticky, cold liquid-like substance, he quickly

Press the button on the instrument to combine and analyze the data from more than ten other instruments.

Pain, pain that penetrated into the bone marrow, his fingers were trembling, and the blood all over his body was flowing irregularly. Every moment was challenging the limits of his nerves, and his thoughts were shattered almost instantly. However, after a short blank period, Xilin finally started to think again.

Focus little by little, otherwise, Xinlin himself will become one of those specimens before long.

Those sticky liquid-like things are actually tiny special biochips. Some of their properties are very similar to gene carriers. They can be integrated into the chromosomes of the human body and replicate and divide synchronously.

The red silk tube is responsible for induction, providing nutrients while inducing the body's metabolism and accelerating cell division, while the blue silk tube is responsible for apoptosis, allowing those lagging cells that cannot keep up with the progress to die.

The old man stared at a rising wave peak on the frequency screen, chuckled a few times, and turned the knob at hand ten degrees clockwise. The induction level increased by one stage every ten degrees, and the excitation level of the chip also increased accordingly.

Changes in the hippocampus area of ​​the brain, methylation areas on chromosomes and communication frequencies between cells are displayed in the form of data on the constantly flashing screens, which makes the old man very excited.

Xilin's nerves were hit by a greater pain again, and then he worked hard to gather his energy.

"It's not simple, it's not simple. A mere F-level genotype can actually achieve such a level!" Looking at the knob that had been rotated 180 degrees, the old man began to talk to himself, but there was obvious excitement in his words.

.

One hundred and eighty degrees, it proves that those chips have been stimulated by 50%, and now this person is still alive. The data flashing on the screen makes the old man's voice tremble. In the past experiments,

Less than half of the people can withstand the temperature of 180 degrees, which shows that the physical endurance of people with this measly F-level genotype is comparable to that of D-level people.

However, how long can it last? One more ten degrees will give an additional set of data that will excite the old man, but the old man does not care about Xilin's life or death.

Xilin was looking for opportunities to escape amid the constant bombardment of pain.
