  Vault 404, Infirmary.

   Sitting on the scanning bed, Chu Guang looked at the twisted blade in his hand, his eyes filled with disbelief.

  Last night, he had just returned to the shelter from Xizhou City. Not long after he lay down, he had a vague dream and woke up covered in sweat.

  As usual, he handed over the job of cleaning the sheets to Xiao Qi, and he immediately contacted He Ya to make an appointment for a medical examination.

   Not surprisingly, his gene sequence development progress has doubled again!

  Honestly speaking, Chu Guang knew something about his body, but he didn't expect to exaggerate it to the point where he could knead a blade into twists with his bare hands.

   There was a small scratch on the skin of the palm, the blood on the blade hadn't dried up yet, but the scratch was almost gone.

   Not just power.

  From the keratinocytes on the surface of the skin to the capillaries and muscle tissue under the dermis, and even the organs and bones in the body, they are all developing in a direction different from ordinary people.

  Even though the macroscopic structure and outline of the body have not undergone significant changes, they have actually been replaced with something else.

  Using Heya's statement, the average person's DNA is usually only 2% normally expressed, and this is basically the limit that a human being can bear.

   And because his DNA is carefully designed, the proportion of selective expression in the entire gene pool has reached 4%, or even higher!

To make an inappropriate but vivid analogy is that ordinary people are private cars that can be bought on the market, all of which have four wheels and one engine. The performance must vary according to the brand and variety, but it is definitely not the case when running on the road. any problem.

  The Awakened is an F1 racing car. Although it also has four wheels and an engine, anyone can tell that this thing is completely different from an ordinary car. Even if it can run on the road, no one will give it a license plate.

  Chu Guang's situation is even more exaggerated.

  The engine of his F1 is not an ordinary gasoline engine, the four wheels and one engine are simply replaced with four plasma nozzles and a controllable fusion engine! Others run on wheels on the road, but he flew directly against the ground on the road!

   This is no longer a car, but a completely different thing.

  But it is true.

  The 1.1-ton powered armor was worn on him like a down jacket.

  Others rely on the energy provided by the nuclear fusion battery to drive the armor, while he relies solely on the strength of his body to move freely in the power armor.

  Chu Guang reckoned that if he traveled back to the original world physically, he would probably be studied as an alien.

   But there seems to be nothing wrong with it.

   After all, just looking at this exaggerated attribute panel, he feels that there is really no difference between himself and an alien.

  The basic strength value of ordinary people is 5, and the strength of a punch is about 50 kilograms. His strength attribute is 60, 12 times that is 600 kilograms?

   Of course, this is just the power of the punch.

  According to the simple calculation of the momentum formula, the force generated by ordinary people hitting the target may actually be about 1 to 2 times this number, while trained people can reach 3 to 5 times.

   In other words—

  According to rough calculations, can he hit a ton of impact with one punch? !

  Thinking of this, Chu Guang suddenly became interested, and suddenly wanted to try how powerful he could punch with all his strength.

  But just as he clenched his hand into a fist, he was interrupted by a quick, light cough.

   "Don't mess around."

  Looking at Heya who was staring at him vigilantly, Chu Guang was slightly taken aback, then smiled embarrassedly, and let go of his clenched fist.

   "I'm just a little curious."

   "Curious how many minutes it took to tear down my lab?"

  Heya made a helpless expression and continued.

"I can tell you the conclusion directly. Your punch now is probably no different from being hit by a truck. This is not just as simple as 'twelve times the force'. Your muscle fibers and bones have actually become another body." A kind of 'material'. But I still advise you not to really fight with the truck. Even if you have to try, you'd better install yourself a titanium alloy bone or something. Even if your bones are incredibly hard, that's okay. It's the bones after all."

   "I'm not that busy...By the way, what is the 'cannot be parsed' in the last line?" Chu Guang suddenly noticed the bottom line of the attribute panel, looked at Heya and asked.

  Knowing that Chu Guang would ask this question, Heya drew a chair at random and sat opposite him. She opened the holographic image with her index finger and gently pushed it in front of her.

  The image of the DNA helix unfolds in the image, along with rows of light blue labels that jump out.

  These graphically mark alternatively expressed gene segments and thus transcribed messenger RNA, as well as protein chains formed by ribosomal processing.

  Although the whole biological process has been presented in this report very intuitively, Chu Guang still sees it in a cloud and doesn't understand it at all.

   Obviously also knew that this was beyond the scope of his knowledge, Heya explained succinctly.

"Unable to analyze means literally, your body has undergone some changes, and you have begun to synthesize some proteins that I have never seen and I am not sure about the specific function. I don't want to start science with you from the basic knowledge of 'how genes affect biological traits', In short, you can understand that...the human body is like a construction site, and some strange-shaped bricks appeared on your construction site, and you are building a house that I don’t understand the function of.”

   "There is no similar precedent in the shelter's database, so I can't speculate on the possible results of this change based on the existing samples. I can only observe for a while."

   Chu Guang was slightly surprised.

   "A strengthening that you can't even see."

   "That's not too normal. I'm a researcher and not a prophet. However, don't be so sure that it must be 'strengthening'."

Heya suddenly raised the corners of her lips playfully, leaned forward a little bit, and smiled mischievously, "What if it's some genetic disease? For example, two heads suddenly grew on your shoulders. There is absolutely no possibility."

  Although this possibility is not high.

  After such a long period of research, Heya has been able to conclude that his genes were not formed naturally, but more like they were designed using knowledge she didn't understand.

  This is true for most of the residents of this shelter.

  Their existence is "singularity-level" technology, and at least half of their feet have stepped on the singularity that deviates from common sense.

  However, she was only planning to scare this guy, lest he always rely on his own health to wander around and not take his own safety seriously.

  Unfortunately, Chu Guang was obviously not frightened, and just smiled at this ambiguous statement.

   "If it was really that kind of thing, you wouldn't have notified me in such a joking tone."

  Heya, who leaned back on the chair, curled her lips in a dull manner.

   "That's right, I'll think about the tone of the terminally ill medical certificate next time."

  Chu Guang smiled.

   "In short, what exactly is the change remains to be observed?"

  Heya nodded and said bluntly.

"That's right, I suggest adjusting the frequency of physical examinations from once every seven days to once every three days. It's best to have one every two days. Frankly speaking, I'm very interested in the changes in your body. If I can observe the physiological changes in your body The whole process will be of great help to my ongoing research."

   Seen a little unnaturally by those piercing eyes, Chu Guang coughed lightly, turned off the translucent holographic screen with a wave of his index finger, and fastened the buttons of his jacket.

   "I'll think about it after the wave passes, but I'm afraid I won't be able to spare so much time recently."

  Looking at Chu Guang getting up from the scanning bed, Heya suddenly thought of something and said.

   "By the way, speaking of waves, I happen to have something to tell you."

   Seeing Heya put on a serious expression, Chu Guang also put away the jokes on his face, and gradually became serious.

"What's up?"

   "Thea."

  Hearing this strange name, Chu Guang frowned slightly.

   "Thea?"

  Heya nodded, and continued with a serious expression.

"A new mother body was born in the city center. According to the clues provided by Xiaoyu, its name seems to be Thea. Our researchers took samples from the spores active in Qingquan City, and found a mutant strain different from the previous ones from a large number of samples. .”

   "Mutant strain?" Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, "Is there no wave in previous years?"

   Heya said patiently.

   "Of course there are previous years. The wave itself is a way for the mutant slime mold to expand their population, and they will also undergo new evolution during this process, but this year is different from previous years."

  Chu Guang did not speak, waiting for her to continue.

  Heya paused for a moment, trying to explain in a common way he could understand.

"According to the information I collected from Boulder City, although mutant slime molds will also undergo group evolution in waves in previous years, they usually evolve in the direction of rapid reproduction, fast healing, and stronger armor. .”

   Gradually realizing something was wrong, Chu Guang asked cautiously.

   "What about this year?"

   "This year is fire resistant."

   What the hell? !

  Chu Guang was shocked.

   "Fire Resistant?!"

   Seeing Chu Guang's surprised expression, He Ya nodded slightly.

   "Although it sounds unbelievable, it is based on what we have observed."

   "No... Are there any carbon-based organisms that can't be burned by fire?"

"It's not that it can't be burned to death, but the spores released by this new variant of slime mold show physiological characteristics that have never been seen before. For example, when encountering unbearable high temperatures, the macromolecular carbon chains in the sporangia will be in the biocatalyst. Under the action of vesicles, it quickly combines with the surrounding oxygen molecules, the volume expands rapidly, and finally the vesicles rupture and release a large amount of carbon dioxide."

"After this process is completed, the spores will die quickly, but the air in the entire area will also be consumed quickly. According to the calculation and simulation results of the Institute of Biology, under standard atmospheric pressure, when the concentration index of this spore reaches 500, it can be recovered within half a minute. , let the oxygen content in the area drop from 20.95% to 10.1%, and the cost is only to consume 80% of itself. If the spore concentration index reaches 800, it only takes ten seconds to complete this process."

"In addition, most conventional combustion processes consume oxygen themselves, and the release of spores from fruiting bodies is a continuous process, and the oxygen content in the area will be further reduced, thereby weakening or even completely terminating the ongoing redox reaction. "

  Most combustibles in life will be extinguished when the oxygen content is lower than 14% after the fire.

  If this mutated spore can really reduce the oxygen content to 10.1%, the impact might not only affect the incendiary bombs, but even some synthetic oil engines and generators will break down.

   Fortunately, the minimum oxygen content for hydrogen combustion is 5.9%, otherwise the hydrogen-burning air batteries of the alliance will also suffer.

  Chu Guang's complexion finally changed.

  In order to deal with this wave, the alliance prepared nearly a thousand tons of incendiary bombs and nearly 300,000 tons of fuel for making napalm bombs.

   As a result, his researcher actually told him that it might not be needed? !

   "Don't the fruiting bodies of slime molds need to breathe?"

   Heya said solemnly.

"It's exactly this that puzzles me. If those slime molds create a large 'anoxic zone' in Qingquan City, their own life activities will obviously be affected. I can only speculate that the new species of brood produced Fruiting bodies are more tolerant of anaerobic environments, after all...they themselves come from the sky."

  Chu Guang was silent for a while, and pressed his index finger between his eyebrows.

   "It's always good to be able to detect problems in advance... I don't believe that there are creatures without weaknesses in this world."

"My thoughts are the same as yours. Maybe the performance of incendiary bombs in actual combat is not as pessimistic as the calculation results, and we are also thinking of other solutions... By the way, you should not only prepare incendiary bombs, right?" Heya worried Looking at Chu Guang calmly, he asked.

"That's not enough, we won't completely pin our hope of victory on a certain weapon," Chu Guang shook his head and sighed, "But to be honest, incendiary bombs are irreplaceable in the battle against mutant slime molds." It is the most cost-effective, and it can clean up a large number of corpses. If the incendiary bomb cannot achieve the expected effect, this war will be more difficult than we expected."

   Is it because the incendiary bombs are used too much?

  It seems to be the case.

  Before when Boulder City responded to the wave, it always used the method of incendiary bombs to wash the ground, and mercenaries rushed to demolish the house.

  Including when the Alliance dealt with the wave before, and even purchased a few more efficient big guys from Boulder City.

  Chu Guang couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

  If you let those slime molds continue to multiply, sooner or later it will become a bigger problem.

   "We need to end the threat to downtown Clear Springs once and for all."

   At this moment, he suddenly felt a move in his heart and said.

   "By the way, what if the brood devours the brood?"

   This is not a solution he came up with, but someone discussing it on the forum before. Some players even encouraged Luo Yu to take Xiao Yu out to see if he could eat the opponent.

  He remembered what Heya said before that there is an "intra-species struggle" relationship between the mutant slime molds. The slime mold fruiting bodies belonging to different hive consciousnesses will attack and even devour each other in order to compete for sunlight, land, and organic matter.

  Hearing Chu Guang's inquiry, He Ya was slightly taken aback.

"Let the brood devour the brood... This is not impossible. In theory, mutant slime molds with large differences in DNA can indeed devour each other. This is also one of the ways they obtain genetic information and strengthen themselves, but the brood devours The brood situation is truly unprecedented."

   Not only has the alliance not encountered such a precedent, but even companies with tentacles all over the eastern part of the Central Continent have never encountered it.

Since the alliance and the company have signed a research agreement on the mutant slime mold, the data and information obtained from the observation and research of the company and its allies on the mutant slime mold in the past two hundred years are basically open to the alliance. No such extreme case has been found in all records.

  And the most important thing is that Xiaoyu's body is on the B6 floor of the refuge, which occupies the entire computer room, not to mention the elevator, and even the door of the computer room can't get out.

  In the future, maybe it will be integrated with the entire B6 layer.

  How can it be swallowed up?

   It is even more unrealistic to put that "Thea" in the shelter. If there is a little carelessness, the whole shelter will have to repeat the same mistakes on the B6 floor.

  Looking at the stunned Heya, Chu Guang's eyes flickered slightly, and he continued.

   "What if the shelter residents with biological prosthetics are allowed to actively inject their biological prosthetics into the body of the mother or the brood?"

  If the brood can be directly wiped out in this way, he can even consider stuffing players into the shells to deliver a "surgical" precision strike on the brood.

   Of course, this is not aimed at the newborn mother.

   Instead, aim at the brood in the city center!

  Although it’s a bit unkind to say so, but just survived a winter and gave birth to a bunch of "little lives", this guy should have a weak body, right?

   There is no better opportunity than this!

  Heya opened her mouth, and it took a long time to squeeze out a word with a strange expression.

   "This...who came up with the idea?"

  Chu Guang sighed.

   "Can't you?"

   "No..." Heya shook her head, and said with a delicate expression, "My opinion is just the opposite. This bad idea might be a joke."

  Chu Guang: "!!"

   What the hell?

   Really okay? !
