Qi Yuan pushed the door open and saw Tan Qiu's back in a white coat standing by the workbench, controlling an instrument that was half a person's height, and seemed to be testing something.

On Tan Qiu's right side, there is a holographic computer. She is conducting tests and recording experimental data.

Qi Yuan only glanced at the projection screen filled with data and felt his head was swollen. Unless a computing center was built, no matter how powerful the extraordinary person was, he would not be able to understand these things.

The room is very clean and concise. In addition to the workbench placed in the center, there is a cryogenic freezer erected on the wall facing the window. You can see inside through the light blue curved glass.

The corpse of a black-toothed rat was frozen.

Whether it is the analyzer on the workbench or the cryogenic freezer on the wall, it is obvious that they are not originally owned by Blackstone Town. These are all research instruments brought by Tan Qiu from the Black Steel Shelter.

Qi Yuan did not disturb Tan Qiu's research, and walked to the side to carefully observe the black-toothed rat that was frozen like amber. Like the black-toothed rat he had seen before, the black hair was smooth and attached to the body, and the sharp teeth were

It is clearly visible, and you can even see the remaining flesh and blood between its teeth. The only thing that is different is its eyes.

The pupils of this black-toothed rat were completely black, without any white of the eyes. It was clearly a corrupted black-toothed rat.

Qi Yuan stared at the small bald scar on the head of the black-toothed rat for a long time. Although the black-toothed rats all looked the same, this one gave him a familiar feeling, as if it was the same person who had been killed before.

The black-toothed rat that he pulled over to dig the tunnel!

If that black-toothed rat had not been killed underground by me, how could it turn into a corrupted black-toothed rat and appear here?

A doubt appeared in Qi Yuan's mind.

"Have you seen this fallen black-toothed rat before?" A hoarse female voice came from behind.

Qi Yuan felt a chill in his heart. He didn't even notice Tan Qiu approaching.

Could it be that this researcher who seems to have no power is also a powerful esper?

"No!" Qi Yuan suppressed the shock in his heart, shook his head, and decisively denied her speculation.

A pair of black-rimmed glasses rested on the bridge of Tan Qiu's nose, and strings of blue characters danced on the lenses, like a holographic projection screen.

Tan Qiu casually pressed the edge of the frame, and the dancing characters on the lens disappeared instantly, turning into two completely transparent pieces of glass.

Tan Qiu did not dwell on the issue of the black-toothed rat, he just nodded lightly and let it go.

"Your name is Qi Yuan?" Tan Qiu asked.

"Yes!" Qi Yuan replied calmly.

Tan Qiu touched the frame again, and a blue light curtain slowly swept across Qi Yuan along her line of sight.

The light curtain brought a faint electric shock, and Qi Yuan quickly realized that it was detecting his own body information.

Qi Yuan resisted the urge to shoot Tan Qiu and silently endured the other party's detection. After the light curtain swept across his body and slowly disappeared, Tan Qiu's brows frowned slightly.

"I thought you were a genetic warrior, but I didn't expect you to be an awakened one!"

Qi Yuan's heart tightened, but his face remained calm.

Awakened people are very common, but if Tan Qiu knew that in just a few days, she had transformed from an ordinary person with no power to an awakened person with a variety of extraordinary abilities, even if she was aware of the lack of super life talent

The existence of the tree will also make you realize that something is wrong. If you are not careful, you may be frozen like the black-toothed rat and used as a specimen material for experiments.

"I have preliminarily tested your genetic sample. It is very clean and very stable. There is no trace of injection of evolutionary drugs. I didn't expect that apart from those pure-blooded humans in captivity, there would be such a powerful genetic body like yours in the wilderness."

Pure-blood humans! Captive!

Qi Yuan suddenly remembered the information revealed by Master Luo, and suddenly became a little nervous.

This Tanqiu will not treat me as a pure-blood human and then take me back to the Black Steel Sanctuary to be kept in captivity!

Perhaps feeling Qi Yuan's vigilance, Tan Qiu raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said:

"Don't be nervous. I won't dissect you and make you into an experimental specimen. I'm just curious about which shelter you escaped from."

"Is it the Storm Shelter where riots broke out due to the infiltration of the Psychic Void Beast, or the Hope Shelter which was almost destroyed by the Doomsday Holy Court?"

"I don't understand what you are talking about!" Qi Yuan said expressionlessly.

"Don't worry, although the Storm and Hope Shelters have issued notices calling for the return of escaped pure-blood humans, they have not issued a reward for you. They probably think that you have been contaminated by the wilderness and are no longer the pure-blood humans they need."

Tan Qiu thought she had guessed Qi Yuan's thoughts. After looking at Qi Yuan carefully, she said with a smile:

"Although I don't agree with the newcomer plan proposed above, your genes are indeed more powerful than ordinary people. My research just needs some stable genetic samples, so I hope to collect some samples from you as my

Experimental materials.”

"Of course, I won't ask for your sample materials in vain. In exchange, I can give you a second-level evolution potion, or help you perform a mechanical modification!"

Luckily it was just a small sample, if she had tried to slice me up I would have been really cold!

Qi Yuan breathed a sigh of relief quietly in his heart, but his face showed a hint of anger and unwillingness that people had to bow their heads under the eaves. After his face changed several times, he finally nodded.

Tan Qiu moved very quickly. Not only did he extract a hundred milliliters of blood from Qi Yuan's body, he also used scissors to cut off a small portion of his hair and a small section of his fingernails, thus completing the sample collection.

Qi Yuan took out the butcher he carried with him and placed it on the workbench.

After knowing the shelter's attitude towards mechanical weapons, Qi Yuan did not expect that he could obtain mechanical weapons from Tan Qiu, but it would be a good choice if he could modify the Butcher.

“Can it be mechanically modified?”

Although the second-level gene potion was precious, it did not mean much to him. Qi Yuan did not hesitate to assign the opportunity gained by selling himself to the butcher.

The Butcher's power is powerful, but it is still not enough for the place he is going to. A new check-in point has been refreshed in the direction close to the Black Steel Shelter. Even if it is just the gathering point outside, there are many far better places than Blackstone Town.

A more powerful extraordinary person only relies on a few first-order abilities. If you want to complete the check-in there, the difficulty is several levels higher than here.

Tan Qiu picked up the butcher and observed it for a while, and quickly judged its origin.

"The butchers produced by Steel Gate are still of the same generation. I didn't expect to see such an old antique here!"

Tan Qiu played with it for a while, then casually put the butcher down.

"This model of the Butcher is too old. Modifying it without enough materials is just to increase the activation speed by 10% or reduce some of the recoil. It should not make much sense to you.

"

"If you really want to modify a firearm, the Death Harvest in your hand is more suitable than this Butcher. There are many parts that can be used among the junk in Situ's collection."

"The modified Death Harvest can shoot two consecutive shots, and its power will be increased by about 10%, and its aiming and effective killing distance will be increased by 20%. If combined with your extraordinary ability to strengthen bullets, even the third level

As an extraordinary person, as long as you don't have the third level of defense enhancement, you can be severely injured within two hundred meters! Or even killed!"

"Then modify Death Harvest!"

Qi Yuan was not a person who refused to listen to advice and made a decisive decision.

Although the practicality of Death Harvest is lower than that of Butcher, under certain circumstances, Death Harvest can be an extremely powerful killing weapon!

If Tan Qiu's transformation and strengthening of Death Harvest can reach the level she said, it will be no less than a first-level extraordinary ability to improve herself.

"Bring the things over here. It will take a day to modify them. Come and pick them up at this time tomorrow."

After Qi Yuan left, Hong Cang pushed the door in from the next room and walked in. When he saw Tan Qiu holding the death harvest test parameters, he couldn't help but ask:

"A first-level wilderness hunter doesn't seem worth your time."

"Of course I have my reasons for doing this."

As Tan Qiu spoke, he put down the Death Harvest and pressed the control button on the edge of the glasses. A blue fan-shaped light curtain was projected from the edge of the glasses and slowly swept across the Death Harvest.

A handful of holographically projected Death Harvest suddenly appeared on the workbench. Tan Qiu's fingers were as nimble as flying, and he quickly dismantled the holographically projected Death Harvest into countless tiny parts.

Hong Cang stood next to the workbench, turned his gaze to the projection of Death Harvest, and said calmly:

"You are now a third-level researcher. According to regulations, all your research projects in genetics need to be reported to the higher authorities. If it is discovered that your research projects have not been reported, I am afraid there will be trouble. You will be promoted to a third-level researcher.

, if you block the way of some people, they will probably keep staring at you, waiting for you to make a mistake."

In the Black Steel Sanctuary, the Biology and Mechanical Research Institute has a unique status and has an independent promotion system. The third-level researcher is already considered a high-level person in it. The fourth-level research institute is no more than a double index, and there is only one fifth-level researcher.

That is director Maureen.

"Among the third-level researchers, you are the youngest and the fastest-promoted one. Although you have been promoted to the third-level researcher in the shortest time, in the eyes of many people, it is only a matter of time before you are promoted to the fourth level. Why bother to give up for a wilderness hunter?

Leave holes for yourself."

Tan Qiu pushed up the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said calmly: "I won't make mistakes. It's just a first-order genetic sample, which is not enough to support a research project."

Hong Cang was silent for a while and said slowly: "I have been with you for so long and I know that you have a little habit. Whenever you lie, you will push up the glasses on the bridge of your nose. Even if you don't wear glasses, you will

Subconsciously make similar actions."

Tan Qiu's movements froze, he paused for a moment, and suddenly said in a deep voice:

"Do you think the New Humanity Project will succeed?"

Hong Cang was slightly stunned, as if he didn't expect that Tan Qiu would suddenly bring up this controversial topic.

More than fifty years ago, when the New Humanity Project was first proposed, it caused great controversy. This controversy continues to this day, and no unified answer has been reached, but whether it is the Door of Truth, Doomsday Arms, Flesh and Blood

The Alliance, the Theological Society, and even the Doomsday Holy Court, all quietly started the implementation of the New Humanity Plan after that joint meeting.

At the beginning of the implementation of the New Humanity Plan, it encountered huge resistance and even caused serious turmoil. However, it still continued. Under the secret promotion of many parties, as the first and second generations of New Humanity slowly emerged.

The laboratory has been integrated into ordinary people. There is no reproductive isolation, it has not completely crushed the power of the old humans, and it has not caused the division of the human race. Everyone's opposition to the new human plan is no longer as fierce as it was at the beginning, and they are slowly accepting them.

existence.

In the eyes of many people, apart from being able to awaken extraordinary abilities at a very young age, the new humans don't seem to be much different from other ordinary people.
