Chapter 454: Brother, why are you wearing a skirt after not seeing each other for a few days?
The holographic image is very long, but the most informative part is basically concentrated in the first few minutes of dialogue.
Later, researcher G-13 was running around planning projects, and inserted a series of sub-topics including induced mutation, reverse reduction, etc. into the original research plan on the B6 floor. Until finally, the experimental body evolved into the mother body
Suddenly went berserk, and the entire B6 floor collapsed under the erosion of slime mold.
Although Researcher G-13 called for reinforcements in time, it was obviously too late. A heavily armed assault team entered the B6 floor, but was quickly defeated in the face of a flood of slime mold fruiting bodies.
In fact, judging from the images in the experiment log, researcher G-13 had a chance to escape, but in order to take away the experimental data and research results, he missed the final escape window and was brutally killed by the mother body in the laboratory computer room. In
At the end of the video, Chu Guang noticed an interesting detail.
Although the G-13 researcher failed to take away the experimental data in the end, and most of the researchers on the floor died in the commotion, according to the self-report of the experimental log holder, several researchers still succeeded under the cover of the commandos.
He stood on the elevator. In addition, a suitcase was also taken away, which contained a set of reagents called "Induced Evolution Original Solution".
That set of reagents was the source of the fall of the B6 floor. Unfortunately, the person in the holographic image did not explain the whereabouts of the suitcase. In the final picture, the lights in the floor were extinguished one after another, and the air purification system was shut down one after another.
The curtain fell in despairing silence...
What surprised Chu Guang was not exactly this hidden history, but that this amazing experiment turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg of all the secrets of the entire refuge!
He became more and more curious about what was written in the administrator's diary of the first generation of administrators. When the holographic image came to an end, the former academy prospector standing aside suddenly let out a sigh of emotion.
"I suddenly had a feeling...
Your ex was terrible."
Chu Guang glanced at Yin Fang.
"Huh?" Yin Fang continued to ask. "Does he always spy on others like this?"
Chu Guang shook his head. "Then I don't know. He has been dead for so many years."
"Are you sure?" To be honest, Chu Guang was not sure.
In the past, he only subjectively believed that normal people could not live that long, so he judged that the first generation of managers should be dead. But after meeting so many old monsters, he suddenly found that two centuries did not seem so difficult.
Whether it is cryo-sleep, replacing bionic prosthetics, or using other methods, as long as you want to live, there is always a way to breathe a sigh of relief. If it doesn't work, you can still upload your consciousness to the cloud. However, even if your inherent cognition is damaged
Subverted, Chu Guang still feels that that person is probably no longer in this world. As for the reason...
"He doesn't look like the kind of person who is good at lying...
Moreover, I don’t think he has any need to lie.” “Why?” Yin Fang raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Guang with interest, “Didn’t you say you’ve never seen him?”
Chu Guang shook his head. "I don't know, but I rarely believe in something so unreasonably..."
Just think of it as my intuition."
Yin Fang did not continue to ask. This was not an important matter in the first place.
The reason why he asked casually was just because of his professional habit of digging graves. His interest in antiques was second only to the coffee machine from the Age of Prosperity.
"But when I think about it...it feels even scarier,"
Heya sighed, changed her position and crossed her arms, with a deep expression under her silver bangs, "He knew everything, but he acquiesced to all this happening...
It feels like even the betrayal of one of his own people is included in his calculations."
Whether it's the little guy called the guard or the researcher numbered G-13.
Yin Fang nodded in agreement. "Really? I was thinking about this just now. If the B6 floor lost control under his instruction... then what was his purpose in doing this?"
Chu Guang leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said. "The original matrix from the three-year war period evolved under controlled conditions in an environment with scarce resources...
This might be what he needs."
Yin Fang continued to ask. "Then what? Where do you plan to use it? Use it to defeat the Brood in Qingquan City? But with all due respect, even if it can be done, the newly born Brood may not listen to us.
."
"I don't know... maybe he didn't know its use, so he didn't use it himself, but left it to me."
After saying this, Chu Guang fell into deep thought.
At this moment, Heya, who was holding her arms, suddenly raised her head and said, "The technology of inducing the reversal of the fruiting body into the mother body through manual compilation... was it successful?"
Chu Guang was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "It should be successful...or where did the brood nest on the B6 floor come from?"
A complicated expression flashed across Heya's eyes, half of which was envy and half of which was jealousy. "
Incredible…”
She has studied slime molds for so long, and she has only understood the evolutionary principles and social habits of those organisms at a theoretical level. However, a certain scholar two centuries ago, researcher number G-13, only used limited experiments
Samples and resources were used to produce such amazing research results in a closed shelter.
In addition to envy and jealousy, she couldn't help but feel a touch of frustration in her heart. No wonder her mentor Kallen always told her that the best times have passed.
An ordinary researcher who didn't even leave her name has far surpassed her in academic attainments. As expected, she still has a long way to go...
Seeing the frustration behind that trace of envy, Chu Guang was about to comfort her by saying goodbye to the old monsters from the Prosperous Era, when a three-line light blue pop-up window suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. [Preprocessing completed.]
[The "abnormal individual" has been injected with the evolution-inducing reagent set, and its maternalization is completed. 】
[Do you want to accept it? (If you choose no or do not make a choice within 30 days, the synthetic matrix will be erased)]
When he saw the last line of text, Chu Guang's eyes flashed with surprise.
"...maternalization?"
Good guy! This shelter system is planning to use the "symbiotic" fallen feathers as materials to create a matrix!?
He seemed to have figured out something. Yin Fang and Heya looked at Chu Guang who was talking to himself and cast confused glances at him.
"What?" Chu Guang didn't answer. He gently swiped his index finger forward and selected the [Confirm] button on the operation interface that only he could see.
He stood up from the sofa and walked towards the powered armor parked in the corner of the reading room. After putting it on, he hung the warhammer leaning on his back behind his back.
Looking at the two confused people, he said concisely.
"...the new matrix."
"Follow me to B1." At the same time that Chu Guang pressed the confirmation button, a dark circle of players surrounded the conveyor belt.
"What the hell? Luo Yu?" "You...are Luo Yu's brother, right?"
"Brother, why are you wearing a skirt after we haven't seen each other for a few days?" "Luo Yu", who was surrounded by a group of players and standing next to the conveyor belt, did not speak, but just watched them quietly.
The so-called skirt is naturally not a skirt in the real sense, but a scarlet mass of bacteria that drags on the ground like a skirt. Not only the legs are covered.
Flesh-red fungus covered almost its entire body, leaving only a few features similar to humans. Even its facial features were like melted ice cream, leaving only an abstract outline. But this appearance did not
It was as ugly as I imagined, and the little earthworms floating on the back of my head were not as ferocious as the mother body that appeared in the previous wave.
At least in terms of human aesthetics, the big round eyes and soft body lines are unexpectedly cute. In addition, the face has lost the dull look before, but the expression is still a bit confused and confused.
Confused and confused about the situation.
"Eh...huh?" A confused murmur came from its mouth, and this move also caused the surrounding players to cry and howl.
Some of them were so cute that they made them vomit, and some of their cute spots were poked.
"Damn it, don't be so cute!"
"Wake up! You are a boy!"
"Oops... I actually think this guy is kind of cute."
"It feels like a dolphin."
A female player stepped forward curiously and touched its head. "Luoyu" did not show any hostility, but instead made a pleasant sound and rubbed her hand. This also attracted a large group of maternally loving players who couldn't help but
He raised and lowered his hands for a while.
Looking at "Luo Yu" surrounded by everyone, the faces of Mosquito and other players were full of envy, jealousy and hatred. Especially Jun Jun, who was almost murderous.
Everyone is a different species, why are you so popular! "As expected, I'd better kill you."
Bai Yin's father, who was standing aside, nodded in agreement.
"I agree...it affects the balance a bit!"
The silver brothers on the side also shouted in agreement.
"+1"
"Nothing wrong!" Everyone entered the game at about the same time, why are you so cool!
Shady!
It's absolutely a shady story! Crow Crow, who was also in the lobby on the B1 floor, did not come forward. Instead, he trembled in fright and took a few steps back.
"Ugh! Human leech!"
Teng Teng, who was standing next to her, glanced at her with a subtle expression.
"Luo Yu will be sad if he hears it."
Anyway, the difference between this and leeches is quite big, right?
How are these connected? I quit smoking and scratched the back of my head:
"By the way, what's going on with this guy?" Ye Shi shook his head.
"Who knows... I just want to know whether this thing is considered a player or an NPC now." It would be great if Fang Chang was here.
This guy is the best at playing this game. Several Y-2 drones are hovering nearby, with their suspended muzzles alerting the "Luo Yu" standing next to the conveyor belt, ready to fire injections containing inhibitors at any time.
Needle.
All the players did not notice that this area had been controlled unconsciously. At this time, there was a commotion in the direction of the elevator entrance, and they saw managers wearing power armor, leading Yin Fang and Heya Meteor Master.
Walked this way step by step.
"...What is going on?" Yin Fang was shocked by the situation in front of him and swallowed. "The residents of the shelter who previously lived in symbiosis with slime mold No. 7 have been maternalized!"
Heya stared at the direction of the conveyor belt with sharp eyes. She had already seen some clues and gave an answer before Chu Guang.
Yin Fang had confusion written all over his face. "So, is this guy considered a human being or a matrix now?"
"Half and half."
Chu Guang replied briefly and concisely. Chu Guang stared at the "Luo Yu" and was a little confused by the operation of the shelter. The only thing that is certain now is that his player can no longer log in to this body and take refuge.
The institute has begun to breed new clones for Luo Yu.
So... this should be considered a brand new individual?
Thinking of this, he looked at the mother body surrounded by players.
"Can you listen to me?"
"Huh?" "Luoyu" Kazilan's big eyes moved up and down, curiously looking at the iron lump in front of her.
Discovering that it could hear his own voice, Chu Guang thought for a while and then spoke.
"From now on, just call me...Yu."
In order to facilitate the distinction and cultivation, Chu Guang gave this synthetic slime mold a new name. Perhaps because the remaining memory fragments in the brain contained this syllable, the little guy seemed to like this name very much.
There was a hint of joy in the response, and the little earthworms floating behind his head were undulating like seaweed.
However, no one is sure now whether this harmlessness is staged or is just its nature.
In order to prevent history from repeating itself, Chu Guang temporarily placed this uncertain factor at the elevator exit on the B6 floor, and also sent food to it regularly. Although this guy is not big, his appetite is surprisingly amazing, and he can even eat a whole head.
A crawler that is much larger than itself.
Those poisonous black blood are deadly venom to ordinary players who have not unlocked the "Iron Stomach" talent, but to it, it is a fine wine. Look at the "little guy" feasting on it and enjoying it.
Looks like this, Chu Guang, leaning against the elevator door, muttered to himself.
"Eat more and grow up quickly...Gan, show me how hungry you are."
"Huh?" As if she understood what he said, Yu stopped eating, reached out and grabbed a bunch of black bacteria and handed it over, as if he wanted to share the delicious food with him.
Looking at those big innocent eyes, Chu Guang waved his hand quickly.
"No, no, no, I won't eat this... Just eat when you're full."
"Uh-huh!" Yu nodded, no longer caring about him, and continued to happily nibble on the half-eaten creeper on the ground.
This guy seemed to regard him as his father. And this was what confused Chu Guang the most.
If I remember correctly, the first thing it saw when it woke up should not be itself, but a large group of chattering little players. Is it because there is some kind of special aura in itself that makes it feel familiar?
This discovery made Chu Guang shudder. After waiting for the little guy to finish eating the prey, he quickly went to the infirmary for a physical examination. "...Didn't you just do it a few days ago?"
Chu Guang, who zipped up his coat and put on his clothes, took the brand new test report from Heya's hand and glanced at it.
"Can't you do it again if you suddenly think of it?"
Heya sat on a chair nearby. "It's not bad... By the way, your genetic sequence development progress has not changed at all during this period, so please work harder."
Chu Guang said with a smile.
"Aren't you afraid that I will continue to evolve and become a monster?"
"It doesn't matter. Your current physical fitness is no different from a monster, right? If the development progress exceeds 30%, it will be difficult to give birth to offspring through normal channels. How about considering in vitro fertilization in the future?"
At the end, Heya's voice took on a teasing tone.
Chu Guang coughed lightly. "That's not what I care about."
"I know what you are concerned about. Don't worry, the situation you are worried about does not exist. The development of gene sequences is only to re-express certain genes that are not expressed in DNA, and it will not make you become another person.
biology.
Your chromosomes are still 23 pairs, and all indicators are within reasonable limits..."
After a pause, she continued with a positive tone: "There is no doubt that he is human."
The expression on Chu Guang's face did not change at all, but he was secretly relieved in his heart.
But he had just relaxed for less than two seconds when Heya's next words made his nerves tense again. "Hmm... But to be honest, when I was studying your genetic information, I did find something concerning.
s things."
Chu Guang asked immediately. "What did you find?" "There are some pieces of DNA that seem to be artificially designed and are not included in the existing gene bank. In fact, it's not just you, but all the clones in the entire shelter..."
···In other words, what you call the avoidance of ‘wanjia’
Refuge residents, more or less, have a little bit of it. I am currently trying to separate these codes to build a library, maybe I can make new discoveries."
As she talked, the look on Heya's face became more and more excited, and she seemed to be enjoying this extremely challenging topic.
Chu Guang couldn't tell whether he felt happy or heavy. But when he learned that he was undoubtedly still a human being, the stone weighing on his heart finally let go.
In this way, three days passed.
Perhaps because of eating a lot, or perhaps because his "intellectual aura" has added a buff to this half-human, half-slime mold guy, "Yu" has now started babbling.
However, the first sentence that came out of its mouth almost made Chu Guang spit out all the food he had eaten yesterday.
"Papa?" Looking at those innocent big eyes, Chu Guang coughed twice and quickly clarified.
"...I'm not your dad. Your dad should be a guy named Bai Ge."
However, Yu, whose mind is immature, obviously did not understand this overly complicated monologue, and just tilted his head in ignorance.
"cake?"
Chu Guang: "It's strange...it seems like I didn't teach it this word!"
Where did this guy learn to speak? In addition to learning to speak, it also experienced a series of other changes.
Including imitating human behavior and developing strong curiosity about the surrounding environment. After several feedings, Chu Guang found that this guy seemed to have eaten him, and he stopped seeing other people for a while, and just said "beep bab bab"
No matter who you send to coax her, it won't work.
After gradually realizing this problem, Chu Guang also felt a headache. It was not that he was impatient, but that he was too busy.
He needs to worry about the development and construction of the alliance. The battle in the west is not over yet, and the leeks in the east are still waiting for him to cut. He is a manager, how can he have time to be a "dad"?
But if he left it alone and let that guy scream pitifully, Chu Guang couldn't bear it.
What's more, after finally establishing a little trust across species, if this guy is completely turned into a black man, all the previous efforts will be wasted. At this moment, Chu Guang suddenly thought that the little player named Luo Yu seemed to be resurrected.
After a rational analysis, "Yu" is modeled after "Luo Yu", and the slime mold that replaces the body cells even contains his DNA. Isn't this sense of closeness of "blood connection" more direct than my own?
"...Why did you forget about this guy?"
Chu Guang patted the back of his head and immediately gave instructions to Xiao Qi.
"Xiao Qi, let the player Luo Yu go to the elevator on the B6 floor. I'll wait for him there." "Okay, Master!"
After receiving the order, Xiao Qi immediately left. At the same time, on the B3 floor of the shelter. After countless ups and downs, Luo Yu, who finally logged into the game again, just climbed out of the training cabin and heard the sound coming from above his head as soon as he opened his eyes.
electronic sound.
"As soon as the player "Luo Yu" wakes up, please take the elevator to the B6 floor and talk to the manager to trigger the task."
"What the hell!?"
After listening to the content of the broadcast, Luo Yu held his breath for a moment and clenched his fists in excitement. Hidden mission!
BUG compensation!?
"Woooooooooo... Brother Guang didn't forget it!"
After climbing out of the training cabin, Luo Yu immediately rushed to the door, but found that he could not open the door. Then he realized that he had forgotten to put on his clothes, so he awkwardly returned to the training cabin, took out a blue coat and put it on before hurriedly walking out.
The door.
Without contacting anyone, he ran straight to the elevator and selected "⑥" on the touch panel with his index finger.
When the elevator door opened again, Luo Yu saw the blue power armor. He immediately stood up straight with excitement, put his right fist on his chest, and started his performance with a loyal look on his face.
"Dear manager, is there anything I can help you with?"
"Of course, you came just in time," Chu Guang turned around and looked at him seriously, "The body you used before was infected by mutant slime mold, which caused some unexpected situations...
…”
In terms of setting, the core NPC of the shelter understands the player's resurrection mechanism, so Chu Guang didn't bother to go around and make up a bunch of background settings that might be misunderstood, and straightforwardly explained "Yu"'s current situation to him.
When he heard that the slime mold had made a mother body based on his own body, Luo Yu's eyes suddenly widened and he couldn't help but blurt out:
"I blanch".
"...boiled?"
Xiao Yu, who was standing aside, tilted his head. The skirt formed by the bacteria slowly squirmed. It moved to Luo Yu's side, curiously looking at this human who exuded an aura of intimacy, and the tentacles floating on the back of his head also moved.
And got together.
This action made Luo Yu tense up instantly, and he was so nervous that he almost stepped back into the elevator.
Looking at Luo Yu who subconsciously cursed, Chu Guang coughed lightly and reminded him.
"You... exercise a little restraint and try not to teach it some strange vocabulary. Its current mind is only that of a human cub about two or three years old. It cannot understand many things and it is inconvenient to understand."
After a pause, he changed into a serious tone and continued.
"In short, this matrix based on you is very crucial to our research. You are the resident in this shelter who is closest to its bloodline. I hope that you will represent us and establish a more than friendly relationship with it."
"What exactly?"
Looking at the small earthworms floating around him, Luo Yu swallowed nervously unconsciously.
"What... do you need me to do?"
Seeing how "harmonious" he and Yu were getting along, Chu Guang's face showed a happy smile.
It seems that his guess is correct.
I can finally get rid of this dragster.
"Your task is very simple. Just spend more time with it every day and teach it how to speak. When the time is right, you can take it outside the shelter and let it learn how to hunt."
"But...I also have other things to do."
Luo Yu had a dumbfounded expression on his face, which was obviously full of reluctance. Seeing through his thoughts at the moment, Chu Guang's heart moved slightly, and he coughed lightly and continued.
"According to the analysis of researchers from the alliance, "Yu" is the most outstanding growth and adaptability of the alien species currently known. If it is cultivated properly, it may become a quite powerful combat force..."
When he said this, he had an undecided expression on his face.
"Well... I'm actually a little hesitant about whether this will be too difficult for you."
The moment he heard these words, Luo Yu held his breath.
Wait! What this means is...this guy is the strongest pet in the current server!?
As a result, it is natural that as a camp wave SS manager, he would hesitate. After all, his sequence level is not high, only hovering between T2 and T3.
Suddenly acquiring such a powerful battle pet will undoubtedly have an impact on the balance of the game. There will definitely be a lot of bullshit on the forum calling for a chop.
After understanding this level, Luo Yu, whose eyes were originally full of hesitation, looked at Xiao Yu again and his eyes instantly became fiery.
What kind of tentacle monster is this? It’s clearly an SSSR-level divine pet, okay!!
Maybe I can teach it to fly a plane!
"Please feel free to leave it to me, Mr. Manager!"
Afraid that Chu Guang would regret it, Luo Yu quickly made a reliable expression and agreed with a serious expression.
"I will definitely not let you down!"
Chu Guang was secretly happy in his heart, but did not show any expression on his face. Instead, he pretended to hesitate for a while before reluctantly nodding.
"...Since you said so, I'll leave it to you!"
The job of feeding Xiao Yu was temporarily left to Luo Yu. As for Heya, Chu Guang asked her to try to analyze from a technical level the feasibility of using "Yu" to engulf and replace the B6 layer mother nest, and to evaluate the possible consequences.
risk.
The shelter system did not give any further hints on how to use "Yu", and seemed to leave the decision to himself. Chu Guang planned to let Luo Yu feed it for a period of time.
After it has developed feelings, it is best to be able to communicate normally, and then let it try to devour the mother nest on the B6 floor to see if it can replace the slime mold there, to prove some of the conjectures of researcher G-13. If this
The plan was finally proven to be feasible. Not only would the alliance gain a powerful combat force, but it might also be possible to fulfill the long-cherished wish that even the post-war reconstruction committee had failed to realize - to counterattack the center of Qingquan City! By then, the resources of the entire Qingquan City
All will be captured by the alliance!
Not even Qingquan City—all other urban agglomerations occupied by slime molds will be included!
