I really don't want to cross

Chapter 58 Preparing for the Second Journey

What is despair?
It is when you are walking on the street and a sinkhole suddenly appears, and then you hold on to the edge without falling, but you can't climb up, this is called despair.

What is extreme despair?

That's when you grabbed the edge to survive, and suddenly someone grabbed your wrist, and when you looked up with excitement, he shook his hand and said to you with a cheap smile: "I Seeing that you are so tired of holding on, let me hear a few screams, and I will let you go for a ride."

This is so desperate.

Wood is now extremely desperate, this system is definitely intentional.

I'm so fucking dying, you still play with me like this?

Black bullets?
According to Wood's knowledge, this world is very similar to the Iron Fortress, a world where human beings linger in the last days.

It's just that the level of technology is far higher than that of Iron Fortress.

But in terms of danger, the "black bullet" is far higher than "Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress"

- Gastrea

A monster that suddenly appeared in that world and devoured humans.

They have various shapes, but they are basically the images of various animals. If they have the corresponding genetic factors, they will appear in similar biological forms, but they are much, much larger, and have physical abilities that are several times stronger than ordinary creatures.

But that's not even the scariest part!

Similar to Kabane, gastroenteritis can also infect 'protovirus' through biting.

'Protoenterovirus' is a DNA virus that can change a living being into a gastrula. It can change the host into a different form of gastritis by rewriting the host's DNA arrangement, which is actually changing the species of the living being.

Moreover, the 'protovirus' has high adaptability. It can combine DNA factors of different species and combine them with an organism to make the organism have two different biological forms. Let's talk about evolution!
The most frightening thing is that gastrulation itself has a certain degree of regeneration ability, and human weapons cannot easily kill this monster.

In summary.

In the end, this world, whose technological level is much higher than that of the Iron Fortress, fell to the same end as the Iron Fortress.

The area where human beings lived was basically taken away by gastrulation.

The remaining human beings are hidden in some areas. Unlike the post stations in the world of the Iron Fortress, the reason why all human beings in this world are not extinct is entirely dependent on a metal called '錵'.

'錵' itself can release a special weak magnetic field, which has the activity of weakening the gastrulation virus, causing the gastrulation to lose its ability to regenerate, and let the gastrulation instinctively stay away, while the remaining human beings are hiding in this. Among the monoliths made of '錵'.

It is precisely because of the existence of the oyster that can make the gastrulation lose its ability to regenerate, that humans have the possibility of fighting gastrulation.

However, gastroentery is not as easy to bully as Kabane, as mentioned above, gastroentery can evolve!
Specifically, it can be divided into five stages.

Stage [-]: The primary form of ordinary organisms or humans after being infected by a gastroenterovirus is usually only a single-factor gastrula, and its physical condition is relatively weak, so it is easier to be knocked down.

Stage [-]: Gastrea that absorbs more DNA material on the basis of stage [-], and the body further evolves.

Stage [-]: The evolved body that absorbs more DNA materials on the basis of Stage [-], and its body size has increased to a certain extent from Stage [-] to this point.From this stage onwards, gastrulae began to evolve more commonly into compound factor types.

Stage [-]: An evolutionary version of Stage [-], with a significantly larger body size than Stage [-].The ability is very strong, the resistance to 錵 metal has been further improved, and it is possible to have special abilities.

Stage five: The stage with the highest degree of evolution and the most terrifying ability.It has a huge body that is far less than that of stage four, and it is difficult for ordinary uranium weapons to cause any damage to it, and it is completely immune to the magnetic field of uranium metal.

It can be said that the city protected by the giant stone monument is targeted by stage five, and in the end there is only one way to perish.Fortunately, there are only eleven gastroenteric creatures of this level, and they are scattered all over the world, so the chance of encountering them is extremely small.

Human beings are just lingering in this world.

Make no mistake, this is a dangerous world.

But that's not the point!

The point is...

"What I long for is a world that can increase the strength of my soul."

Wood had naively thought that the system could list a large number of worlds for him to choose from, and that he would choose a world related to the soul, such as the god of death, but now it seems... he really thinks too much of 'it'!

But this time, Wood really misunderstood the system, because then the system gave him a great surprise.

[The selection of the world is randomly matched, and the host needs to be self-reliant.In addition, the host's soul is connected with the main world, and going to other worlds can strengthen it and will not further collapse. 】

Wood was taken aback, then overjoyed.

"That is to say, no matter how long I stay in other worlds, my soul will not continue to collapse?"

[After the return, it will be calculated according to the main world time! 】

a month?

Wood frowned, didn't that mean that if he couldn't find a way to heal himself, he would have to travel forever.

But he had no other choice.

I don't want to die-

Just keep looking for it.

……

City D, Smelly Face Laboratory.

After more than half a month, Wood saw the wretched face of the old face again.

I can't wait to punch him to the ground, and then kick him hard. If it wasn't for the old bastard's potion, how could I have fallen to where I am today.

In the end, Wood suppressed the tempting idea.

"...a DNA virus that can change ordinary organisms into gastritis. It can change the host into different forms of gastritis by rewriting the host's DNA arrangement. In fact, it is changing the species of organisms..."

Wood didn't bother to talk nonsense with the old guy, so he directly told the relevant information about the gastroenterology, and then said, "Can you make a medicine that can suppress this virus, or something else?"

The stinky old face looked at Wood excitedly: "Gutter organisms? Where did you see this kind of thing? I think it has great research value."

"...Don't worry about it, I'll just ask you if you can make inhibitors or something."

The stinky old face glanced at Wood strangely, did not speak, but turned around and typed on the computer for a while, and finally brought up a webpage for Wood to look at.

It was a device similar to a lighting lamp, but its shape was extremely large.

"The protoviralization you mentioned, in my opinion, is no different from eccentricization. They both break through the limits of biology and change species."

The stinky old face turned back and pointed at the thing on the screen: "This thing should be useful. This is a kind of ray researched 20 years ago when eccentricity entered its peak. It was researched to reduce the phenomenon of human eccentricity."

"Restraining grotesques?"

Wood was taken aback: "Then why are there so many weirdos?"

"Because it's too whimsical, eccentricization is fundamentally different from the gastroenteric biologicalization you mentioned; eccentrics are all products of human beings after the fall, and most of them are voluntary. Moreover, eccentrics are not such simple creatures. This kind of ray Although it can play a restraining role, it only delays the time of turning into a weirdo, and it will naturally be abandoned in the end."

"However, for the single-gene organisms you mentioned, it should be able to play a great inhibitory role."

Wood's eyes lit up, but then he frowned: "Can you find a way to make a smaller one, preferably one that can be carried with you, I will use it tomorrow morning."

"Hmph, such a simple thing."

The smelly old face turned around directly, and waved his back to Wood: "You can come to me to pick it up then."

"..."

Wood raised his fist, but in the end he didn't have the heart to smash it down. Although he was a little crazy, he was still a talent!
