Xi Tong has been paying attention to the progress of the ant system, and even more so to their innovations in corpse raising and corpse refining methods.
The resources are ready-made, but how to integrate the intricate resources, select the useful parts, and connect them together requires 1% sweat and 99% inspiration.
Just like what the ant system host is doing.
If he hadn't seen his actions, Xi Tong would never have thought that corpses could be refined in this way.
My experience in the Qing Dynasty and Chonglou is nothing more than strengthening the bodies of zombies through talismans and feeding essence and blood to strengthen their origins.
One is consolidating from the inside out, and the other is tempering from the outside in. These two-pronged approaches promote the evolution and qualitative change of zombies.
This method is a bit like steel-making, with complicated folding and forging to improve the quality of the material to the expected level.
But the host of the ant system is different.
He achieved it in one fell swoop.
Just like a grasshopper changes into a cicada, a caterpillar changes into a butterfly.
It is not only a change in form, but also a breakthrough in function.
From land to sky, this is a dream that mankind has longed for for countless thousands of years.
For this reason, human beings practiced the art of sword control and made big gray machines, and then they became addicted to flying into the sky.
Little did they know that for insects, this kind of thing would be solved with just a small metamorphosis.
In the final analysis, humans are still not perverted enough, and there are no perverted genes in their bodies.
Zombies are different.
His body was qualitatively improved only after being infected with the virus. However, the improvement of the virus was disordered and disordered, which led to imbalance and insufficiency.
Being sealed in a pupa is tantamount to going back to the furnace and remaking it, which is comparable to reborn, cleansing the tendons and cutting the marrow, high-end atmosphere and class.
The first is complete decomposition of the body.
Just like before, the ants themselves dissolved and turned into a protein-like substance.
At this time, the zombie completely dissolves and everything in its body turns into proteins and other substances.
However, it still maintained its original form after dissolving, and what was suspended in the liquid was still the humanoid form sitting cross-legged, and it did not become scattered as a result.
After that it’s time to fine-tune and correct all the details.
For example, there are many details such as the length and thickness of the fingers, the softness and density of the texture, elasticity and toughness, etc.
Develop whatever attributes you want.
Anyway, after studying it for such a long time, the host has a good understanding of the tissue morphology and formation process of various physiological structures.
With the control of thoughts, the liquid in the pit began to move slowly, the skeleton framework gradually formed, tendons, blood vessels began to build, and then muscle tissue, etc.
In this process, the host borrows the muscle tissue of ants to further enhance the zombie's strength, and also borrows the tissue composition of many other insects.
In addition, it is designed in an exoskeleton form.
There is a layer of arthropod chitin armor on the surface of the skin, and this layer of armor is specially strengthened to make it harder than metal.
Not only that, it also produces colorful lines on the carapace. These lines are naturally outlined into talismans and seal characters, which can bless special powers.
And this kind of lines extends from the surface to the inside, from top to bottom, covering every inch of body tissue.
Time passed day by day, and under the careful carving of the host, the zombie embryo was finally shaped. All that was left was to absorb nutrients and energy to fully develop body tissues and functional organs.
And from Xi Tong's perspective.
Zombies are sealed into pits and dissolved under the influence of liquid, which is equivalent to reducing an organism into an egg-like substance.
The host then sorts out, organizes, and reorganizes the disordered genetic information in the yolk, transforming it into a new life.
Not only that, it is also necessary to ensure that the results of the sorting and arrangement are adapted and coordinated with each other, so that the hips will not be torn as soon as the legs are lifted.
This is what survival of the fittest is all about.
Whether it can adapt to the environment must be tested by nature, and the process of testing is also a process of constant adjustment.
Living things are changing and evolving all the time, and these changes and evolution are passed on to the next generation so that they can better adapt to the external environment.
However, this process is very slow, and it may take decades or even hundreds of years to cause visual differences in humans, and then exclaim that a new species has been discovered.
Human beings cannot clearly perceive this evolution, so they can only marvel at the transformation from cocoon to butterfly.

There was a clear cracking sound from the mud crust on the ground, and then a white palm stretched out from the soil.
His fingers trembled, rubbing the soil between his fingers, and then he wandered left and right looking for a point of support.
Immediately, the wrist, elbow, and entire arm all stuck out of the ground.
With a crash, a smooth humanoid creature emerged from the ground.
Her naked body was sickly white, and her skin color quickly darkened and deepened as the sun hit her.
It seems to have a mimic function and can change its color according to the surrounding environment.
There are two small protrusions on the smooth head, which are a pair of antennae, which are the main sensory organs of ants and other insects.
This pair of tentacles can sense smells, sounds, communicate with each other, and can replace eyes in dark environments.
All in all, this is a powerful organ, and it doesn't require many resources to generate it.
Then there are the eyes.
Different from before, the eyes now are in the form of compound eyes, which undoubtedly enhances color observation and perception by dozens or hundreds of times.
It is also a small change and does not take up too many resources.
The exoskeleton is thin but strong, which can provide strong protection for the body. It can also prevent cold and warmth and reduce energy loss.
The inner skeleton is slender and light, and only serves as a frame support, reducing its own weight and reducing flight losses.
Yes, it also has the ability to fly.
It's not the fleshy wings of bats, nor the feathered wings of birds.
Similar to cicada wings, thinner and more transparent than Durex.
When he was first unearthed, he was wet all over his body, but when the wind blew, the liquid on his body dried up quickly, leaving only a few wisps of silky white substance in his armpits and crotch, which dispersed when the wind blew.
Under the sunlight, the liquid-soaked folds on his body slowly stretched, and his muscles swelled as if blown by air. His chest and arms became convex and concave, with clear outlines.
The muscles in the chest continue to expand. After all, this is the main power area for flight, and it cannot be underdeveloped.
The crumpled wings also unfolded little by little and trembled slightly at the same time, as if they were adjusting at the same frequency as the body muscles, and as if they were sensing the speed and direction of the wind.
It felt almost done, I just heard a buzzing sound, the zombie's body slowly rose up, and its toes lifted off the ground little by little.
It's flying.
After adapting to the ability to fly, he continued to rise and assumed various difficult poses under the command of the host.
After debugging for a long time, although there are still some shortcomings and the performance is not up to standard, it is still OK in general, at least there is no crash accident.
This means the test was successful!
This also shows that the perverted idea is feasible!
