Uplifting Journey

Everything is developing towards the worst guess.

As the distance from the center of the blood carpet continued to shrink, the biochemical monsters that appeared in Cheng Bin's vision became more hideous and strange.

After seeing the tragic scene of a bunch of mutilated human limbs and heads fused together on the bloody carpet, Cheng Bin finally couldn't restrain the nausea rolling in his chest, bent over and vomited.

Wiping away the filth with the energy of thought, Cheng Bin incinerated the pile of things that still showed signs of activity. After walking away angrily for a certain distance, he took out the few remaining space food from his body and ate a small piece.

The food rich in nutrients and water tasted like chewing wax in Cheng Bin's mouth. After barely swallowing it into his stomach, Cheng Bin finally came to the approximate center of the blood blanket——

Huaguo Medical University.

Cheng Bin twitched his brows as he watched the university name half-covered by the blood blanket. Through his thoughts, he could feel that the otherworldly body that resonated with his existence information was not far ahead.

For some reason, Cheng Bin suddenly recalled a sentence that the system once said - "This system thinks that after you get Nian Qi, the host, you will give priority to research on the human body and lifespan."

After closing his eyes and taking two deep breaths, Cheng Bin walked towards the university campus.

Why do human beings only have a lifespan of more than a hundred years?

With this question in mind, Cheng Bin was admitted to Huaguo Medical University as a graduate student.

His childhood sweetheart's girlfriend went to a nearby university to accompany him.

The research project Cheng Bin was in charge of progressed smoothly, which made him appreciated by his mentor. While starting a company and reaping a lot of benefits, he began to work hard to study for a doctorate.

And when he was studying for a doctorate, he actually awakened supernatural abilities.

For a while, Cheng Bin felt that he had become the protagonist of the novel.

While his family and career are going smoothly, Cheng Bin naturally turned his attention to his original dream when he entered this industry - immortality.

The lifespan of human beings largely depends on the upper limit of the number of cell divisions, which in turn depends on the degree of wear and tear of the redundant telomere at the top of the chromosome.

With the support of superpowers, Cheng Bin conducted in-depth research on this.

The redundant telomeres of cancer cells can be recognized and repaired by telomerase, so as to achieve infinite division regardless of wear and tear.

Through the research on cancer cells and telomerase, Cheng Bin finally cracked the recognition mechanism of telomerase, and produced an activated virus that can combine its own ability to mark normal cells with identification marks. Cells activated by the virus will have Cancer cells have an unlimited number of divisions, and this alone greatly increases the theoretical lifespan of human beings.

And through a by-product of the research—another virus that can transform cancer cells into benign—Cheng Bin also received a doctorate and a medical award that year.

Everything went so smoothly, Cheng Bin thought that he would continue to develop smoothly and reach the pinnacle of his life.

However, everything took a turn for the worse in the blink of an eye, causing Cheng Bin to slip into the abyss.

When did it start?

When a laboratory lacking a security mechanism is sneaked into?

When the virus is activated to mutate and become airborne?

When parents and girlfriends start coughing and inflamed?

When did the infected person mutate into cancer for the first time?

When the activation virus was named Z by desperate humans?

Desperately researching antibodies but ushering in the extinction of human beings?

Or when infected with the mutated Z virus?

Huaguo Medical University, in a research institute full of filth and flesh and blood.

Cheng Bin closed the notepad he found earlier with trembling hands. He stared at the unfamiliar "Cheng Bin" signature on the cover, and after a long silence, he said in a low voice:

"System, are there many world lines that are going to perish because of my wrong step?"

"Well, who knows?"

The system poked out a cat's head from Cheng Bin's notepad on the desktop: "After all, it is impossible to confirm whether there is a world that is completely destroyed and does not even have information linkages. Anyway, there is currently only such a doomsday world where such information linkages still exist. "

"Is that so?" Cheng Bin sighed, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"In addition, host, do you want to consider the information resonance body of this world as a part of 'me'?"

"No." Cheng Bin first subconsciously denied it, and then smiled wryly: "Before in the zero world, after the precision of mind and energy operation reached the cellular level, I also conceived a research plan on the human body and lifespan. There is not much difference in the general direction, but I did not realize the danger of this kind of biochemical research, and the safety work may not be as well prepared as this Dr. Cheng's research institute..."

Cheng Bin paused, and looked at the black cat wagging its tail suspiciously: "System, do you really not know the specific situation in this world? I feel that your warning is very timely."

The system turned its head: "It's fine for the host to feel that you have gained something. This system doesn't want to explain the same problem repeatedly."

Cheng Bin just mentioned it casually, and didn't pay much attention to the system's response. He continued to walk towards the depths of the research institute.

The corridor of the research institute without power supply looked dark and scary, and the effect of the panorama in the low-light environment was greatly reduced.

And as Cheng Bin went deeper, the blood carpet spreading on the four walls gradually changed from sparse to dense, and while the thickness increased greatly, the apparent texture also changed from plant to animal.

When Cheng Bin used Nian Qi to open the elevator door covered by the blood blanket, he vaguely noticed that the blood blanket cells here could already interfere with the effect of Nian Qi.

Stretching out his hand and lifting it from the air, Cheng Bin lifted the heavy elevator car up a bit amidst the harsh metal friction sound. He looked at the elevator shaft below, which looked like a biological intestine, and then asked the system: "The power of Nian Qi directly acting on these things has been greatly reduced. Is the blood blanket here considered intelligent life? Is there a high-dimensional information connection?"

"No," the system fiddled with the flesh and blood on the wall of the elevator shaft with its paws, causing a squirm: "This should be similar to the ability to solidify thoughts and energy, directly embedded in the operation of the cell level, you in this world are very thoughtful, host. "

"No matter how thoughtful you are, it's impossible to learn how to cook..." Cheng Bin had goosebumps all over his body, and his floating figure slowly descended towards the hell-like elevator shaft.

"Speaking of which, where does this resonant body in the outer world come from with superpowers? Doesn't Nianqi come from the support of the inner domain?"

"Host, have you forgotten that this world is split from the inner domain? In the case of information connection, it only carries part of the power of the host's high-dimensional information body."

"Really?" In the eyes of the high-dimensional information body, is the resonance body of this world also a part of "I"?

During the descent, he felt that he had almost reached the plane where the resonance body was located. Cheng Bin stopped and looked at the elevator door covered with a layer of flesh and blood.

In the pitch-black elevator shaft, a mass of red light suddenly lit up, and the closed elevator door was transformed into a fiery metal liquid flow under the action of Nian Qi, which carbonized and melted the biological tissue covering it.

The connected flesh and blood twitched slightly under the stimulation of the high temperature, and the whole building let out a low roar under the wave-like force.

Controlling the flow of metal liquid to clean up part of the biological tissue accumulated in the passage behind the door, Cheng Bin raised his head and glanced at the elevator shaft echoing with the roar, and then drifted into the passage.

In the depths of the passage, on the thick blood blanket, countless flesh and blood tentacles slowly poked out.
