Virus evolution begins with Pokémon

hot.

A scalding heat wave hit from behind.

Oh my god, is it on fire?

A strong sense of crisis suddenly awakened Du Chen's consciousness.

Du Chen subconsciously ducked and passed by the heat wave.

Damn, I was so scared that my butt was almost burned on fire...

Du Chen hadn't yet breathed a sigh of relief.

Eh...

Something's wrong, why did I float over?

Only then did he realize that the dodge movement just now was not rolling or jumping, but floating.

Could it be that I have died and turned into Ah Piao...

Looking around, the surroundings are colorful and filled with all kinds of strange giant tentacled creatures, as if Cthulhu has come to the world. It is both dreamy and terrifying, and the visual impact is so strong that it can explode.

Where is this?

At this time, a piece of information appeared in Du Chen's consciousness:

"The subject's consciousness is awake, and the virus evolution system binding begins; 1%, 2%, 3%..."

What the hell is the virus evolution system?

Wait, system?!

Du Chen suddenly felt happy.

Have you not read the system article before? This is the cheating cheat of the protagonist, the accelerator to reach the peak of life. It seems that I, Du Chen, have also loaded the protagonist template, and I am the person who bears the halo of the protagonist!

Gee, but what is this system for? Spreading viruses everywhere?

While Du Chen was thinking about it, the synthesis progress indicated in his consciousness had come to an end.

"...,98%,99%,100%. The virus evolution system binding is completed."

"Congratulations, the virus evolution system has been successfully bound and the initial status has been updated."

"Subject: Du Chen"

"Virus mother: ancestor virus"

"Level: Lv1"

"Boarding:0/1"

"Vitality:50/100"

"Adaptability: Level 1 (can only survive briefly without boarding)"

"Evolution level: 1%"

"Ability: Unlocked"

"Mission: Completely host an organism"

"Warning: Please find the host immediately, complete the infection, and unlock relevant ability information."

As the sound of the system disappeared, Gu Chen's field of vision seemed to be loaded with an astronomical telescope, magnifying it countless times in vain.

The colorful kaleidoscope-like world suddenly became clear.

Gu Chen was still floating in the air, looked at himself, and took a breath.

Damn, uncle, I turned into a tentacle monster...

Now he has turned into a group of balls fluttering in the wind.

That's right, it's a group of...

Each individual is a round purple spherical cell body with dozens of snail-like tentacles dancing on it, making people's scalp numb just by looking at it.

Invisible to the naked eye, they are densely packed, probably hundreds of millions of them, flying together in a ball in the air.

Du Chen tried to move, and the entire virus group moved with his consciousness.

It seems that I am the collective consciousness of this group of viruses...

Du Chen immediately understood that his current state was like an ant colony. Although there were countless individuals, all individuals shared one consciousness.

Ancestor virus?

This name sounds familiar...

Before Du Chen had time to explore, he found that his health had begun to decrease.

"Vitality: 49, 48, 47..."

The decrease in vitality also means that his virus individuals begin to die and the cluster shrinks.

Damn, is it so fast? It seems like we need to find a host immediately.

Looking around quickly, Du Chen immediately discovered several of the largest cell cluster life forms around him.

Nima, this, this is...

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it. At first glance, Du Chen's eyes almost fell out. Well, if he had eyes now.

Below there is an orange lizard jumping back and forth with a stone with two arms, engaging in a supernatural duel.

What's particularly eye-catching is that this orange lizard has a ball of fire burning on the tip of its tail.

A group of people surrounded the two non-human creatures, with two humans facing each other in the middle, with neutral expressions and excited emotions, shouting something from time to time.

WTF?

If he read correctly, this little thing should be the magical creature called Charmander, and the long-armed stone monster opposite should be the Little Fist Stone...

Damn it, o((⊙﹏⊙))o, is this the world of Pokémon?

Taking a look at his health, which had dropped to 42, Du Chen gritted his teeth and said, no matter which world he is in, he will possess him first, no, he will host someone else.

Consciousness controlled the virus group to descend, approaching the middle school boy who was shouting in the middle.

Hey, boy, it’s your honor that Mr. Virus takes a fancy to your body (.-`ω′-).

"Charmander, use spark."

The middle school boy didn't pay any attention to the danger approaching from behind, and concentrated on dealing with the duel on the field.

Invasion.

Du Chen suddenly realized that a large group of viruses flew in from the young man's mouth and nose while he was yelling.

The boy was completely unaware that his body was being invaded, and was still howling excitedly: "Charmander, use the dragon's breath."

Once you pass through the long and narrow tunnel, everything becomes dark and bright.

Coming in, Du Chen felt happy.

He immediately commanded the virus army and began to infiltrate into the boy's internal organs, lymphatic vessels and other places.

Invincible, the boy's immune defense system was as useless in front of Du Chen.

The messy parasites, microorganisms, etc. along the way are all invincible, and they are all infected.

Haha, humans are weak chickens.

Soon, the virus penetrated into cells everywhere in the young man's body. Wherever it went, the cell walls exploded and reassembled under the power of transformation.

Miraculously, although the Ancestral Virus is extremely overbearing, it does not simply and brutally destroy the DNA chain like nuclear radiation, but instead rebuilds and transforms it on the original basis of the DNA, causing mutations.

At the same time, Du Chen clearly felt that after transforming and absorbing this human's genetic sequence information, he had obviously become stronger, or his cluster had become larger.

"Congratulations to the mother for successfully starting boarding. The evolution status is being updated continuously..."

"Subject: Du Chen"

"Virus mother: ancestor virus"

"Level: Lv1"

"Hosting body: 1/1 (human)"

"Vitality: 40/241, 41/242, 42/243... (100 body vitality, 200 host body bonus vitality)"

"Adaptability: Level 1 (can only survive for a short time without a host, but can survive for a long time in a host)"

"Evolution level: 9%"

"Ability: Can increase the brain activity of the host by 9% (exceeding the biological endurance limit of the host will cause the host to collapse or produce unknown mutations)"

"Mission: Completely host a living body"

Gu Chen carefully read the information that was still being updated, and soon had some understanding of the evolution of this system.

It turns out that the 9% evolution level should have absorbed the "experience" brought by this human genetic map.

After boarding this boy, my health no longer dropped but began to recover. At the same time, including the health bonus of the boy who was hosting me, the total value should have increased to 300.

Does this mean that the more vitality my host body has, the higher the bonus will be for me?

The ability item below is no longer unlocked, but has the ability to increase brain activity.

Increase host brain activity by 9%?

This seems to be a bonus buff. Am I a virus from the lawful good camp?

However, judging from the remarks below, this enhancement is also limited, and exceeding the limit will lead to collapse or mutation.

Think about it, labor and capital are viruses, not probiotics, so it’s good if people don’t turn into zombies.

Overall, the benefits to the host currently seem to outweigh the disadvantages.
