The Memoirs of Cultivating Immortals

Chapter 113 Hobbies
There are people, there are rivers and lakes.

With transcendent beings, there is naturally an underground world.

For those anomalous beings lurking on the dark side, Gotham City on the west coast of the United States has been looking extremely abnormal lately.

That city is like a tiankeng devouring aliens. Any extraordinary person who dares to risk himself will disappear after entering Gotham without a trace.

It's not that no one wants to investigate this, but any clues will be abruptly interrupted after a period of time, and the entire investigation process will come to an end without a problem.

"Experimental materials are getting harder and harder to find." Li Ang held the research log, inspected the rows of glass prisons, and sighed: "Those messy criminals with super powers don't dare to break into Gotham recently. The research projects on the Internet are about to go moldy."

In the huge laboratory, the researchers who were "collected" were all silent, not daring to speak out, for fear that the employer would come up with some novel transformation plan on them on a whim.

They really can’t be blamed for this. There are dozens of whiteboards for teaching in the center of the laboratory, and those whiteboards are filled with densely packed formulas and pasted with all kinds of bloody and grotesque photos of prisoners.

The killer crocodile in the Suicide Squad was first stripped of its inhuman parts, and became an ordinary person with a normal appearance again. However, before he was happy for a long time, Leon transformed him into a lizard-shaped Godzilla full of bone spurs, a half-human The semi-mechanical hermit crab and even the strange-shaped life form with twisted muscles and muscles that look like human-shaped lumps almost didn't break him after a lot of tossing.

As for the purple-skinned parasite, his fate is much better—his original name was Joshua Michael Allen, and he was originally an ordinary working-class man who worked as a courier.
Originally, Alan lived with his wife and children on the edge of Kansas City. The family had a house and a field, and their life was boundless. Unexpectedly, one day, an alien parasite came. The host's infection not only completely distorted his appearance, but also gave him the ability to absorb the energy and spirit of others by contacting them.

This ability cannot be shut down by self-awareness. Alan, who looks different from ordinary people, can no longer hug his wife and children. snatch away.

Originally, after seeing the treatment of other people, the parasitic demon thought that he would be dissected and sliced ​​by Li Ang. Unexpectedly, the other party used the method of transferring the soul to reshape an ordinary human body for himself, leaving only the old body infected by the parasite as an experimental subject.

Allen, who had recovered his normal appearance, was assigned to the cleaning position because of his low intelligence, but for him, it was already a rare luxury for him to be able to breathe freely and freely without being trapped in a distorted body—not to mention There are many people who are worse than him.

For example, the professional killer and mercenary dead shooter, Floyd Lawton, because of his excellent marksmanship and stable performance, was regarded by Li Ang as a combat effectiveness testing unit inside the laboratory, often as a comparison object, and the reformed biological weapons to fight.

The first to bear the brunt is the various improved models of the butcher.

The butcher, which was built from primitive meat cells, has fundamentally changed its genetic factors after adding the plant cell characteristics of Poison Ivy.

The DNA double helix of this new type of butcher is composed of a plant helix and an animal helix respectively, and the cells contain a large number of chloroplasts and mitochondria.

This kind of butcher can no longer be referred to as "animal" in general. It has transformed into a hybrid creature formed by the fusion of plants and animals, and its body surface has completely turned green. layer of microspores.

Whenever the hair and skin scraps of this type of butcher fall to the ground, the layer of spores will be deeply buried in the soil. Under a small amount of sunlight and nutrient supply, the spores will expand into a green mushroom, and underneath the mushroom is It is an oval eggshell.

Wooden roots will grow around the eggshell, absorbing nutrients from the soil. As time goes by, the eggshell will continue to grow until the time is right, and the eggshell will automatically break, and a butcher replica that is exactly the same as the original will be born from it.

Because this type of butcher has green skin, a strong physique, and a terrifying ability to reproduce asexually that is comparable to a natural disaster, Li Ang named this new race "green skin".

"From the perspective of biochemical cultivation, the green skin is almost a perfect man-made weapon," Li Ang looked at the half-plant, half-animal embryo suspended in the container, and muttered to himself, "It's a pity that I can't design one that can The self-circulating soul reincarnation system, the green skins that grow from the ground are all dead things without souls and autonomous consciousness, and even the biological instincts of activity, hunting, and seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages have not sprouted."

The body cells of the green skin are active under the microscope, but when they are piled together, they become rotten meat that cannot move, unless Li Ang personally gives instructions to force the joints of the green skin to move—but what Li Ang wants is A new life with self-awareness, not a puppet on a string.

"Rebecca, have the results of the last round of soul transformation experiments come out?" Leon turned around and asked the witch dressed as a secretary.

"It came out. After the souls of the ten owl court assassins were infused into the bodies of the first-generation green skins, because the brain structure and body structure did not match the original human bodies, they developed extremely severe phantom limb pain and rejection reactions." Rebe Ka pushed the thin-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose, and replied softly: "After emergency adjustment, all ten greenskins survived, and in the combat power test, they were able to completely defeat the fully armed death shooter, Deathstroke, killer crocodile,

But the 'offspring' produced by these green skins through spore division did not spontaneously generate souls, and they still looked like dead things. "

"That's troublesome." Li Ang sighed: "If every green-skinned newborn needs to steal the soul from the body of other race individuals, wouldn't it be suspected of plagiarizing the setting of "Alien"? Unless, I can completely Developed a manufacturing process for virtual souls."

At present, the technical reserves accumulated by the research institute have reached a threshold. Before obtaining new sources of knowledge or more professional mechanical instruments, I am afraid that we can only do a lot of repetitive experiments to find possible existences with extremely low efficiency. a breakthrough in a certain field.

Li Ang put down the experiment log, raised his head absently, and said to the trembling Bain beside him, "By the way, how far has the Butcher's other model improvement plan progressed?"

"We have reached the third stage of the experiment," said the big and round Bain shrunk awkwardly in the narrow suit, looking a little bit like a monkey, "The original cells with 5000 TTAGGG repeat sequences in their telomeres, after adding Lal After the telomere replacement extension ability of the S Gur Eyre cells, the Hayflick limit value that restricts the cells from dividing all the time has been increased, which means that the new type of cells has acquired the 'immortality' to a certain extent Attributes.

If a certain dose of new type of cells is placed on the seabed, it can completely cover the bottom of the Pacific Ocean with blood and flesh within a few years by virtue of its extremely high division efficiency, terrifying energy utilization rate, and unlimited number of cell divisions. "

"Oh? That's good news," Li Ang said with a smile, "You are the leader of this project, so it's up to you to name the new type of cells."

Bain swallowed, and said anxiously: "Then call it 'SAYA'."

"SAYA?" Li Ang raised his eyebrows, "Does this have any meaning?"

Bain rubbed his hands together, as if he was a little shy, and said in a low voice, "SAYA means Saya in Japanese."

Brother, you are a villain, don't awaken any special hobbies.

"." The corners of Li Ang's eyes twitched, his spiritual sense swept away, and he saw the creeping fleshy wall that served as a landscape plant in Bain's office, as well as the decorative bows carefully tied at the corners of the fleshy wall. He didn't know what expression to use to face it. Can hold back a sentence, "It's good that you are happy."
