Chapter 77 The Genetic Manifestation of Cannibals
How great are bone-strengthening potions?

Let's put it this way, a bone-strengthening potion can keep an ordinary person's body highly activated for nearly twenty days.

If a person who takes the medicine can maintain high-intensity exercise during the body activation period, such as the training volume of a certain Saitama teacher, it only takes twenty days, which is enough to make his body strength reach the level of an ordinary person's concentrated training in every aspect. year level.

If a person can maintain this state and continue to train for three years, although it is impossible to reach the level of Zhen Saitama who can break stars with one punch, there is still hope to become a true literal enemy of thousands of people and kill a thousand people.

Unfortunately, the bone-strengthening medicine also has side effects.

First of all, this thing will make people overly sensitive and easily lose control of their emotions. After taking the medicine, it will take a long time for psychological counseling and adaptation.

Then there is body activation, which is essentially the reactivation of human cells at the genetic level.

This kind of behavior is fine only once. If you take the medicine multiple times and over-activate the gene chain of human cells, it will easily induce body mutations, such as growing more hair, feathers, scales, etc., or growing more legs. , arms, eyes, tails, horns and other unexpected things, or things like tumors.

Just like beastmen, people are not like humans, ghosts are not like ghosts, and monsters are not like monsters.

Ergou even suspected that this beastman might be the Guifang people who escaped into Shenyang Realm thousands of years ago, and gradually evolved and transformed into this appearance due to some unique mutation.

If Ergou's conjecture is true, then the Shenyang Realm is really not a good place.

I just don’t know what the original ghost people went through to become such a sad state in this fertile and oily land.

As for the bone-strengthening potion, Ergou has never experimented on humans first. There are plenty of experimental materials available in the wilderness of Shenyang Realm, such as a big black goat that walks upright, a centaur with a human-like upper body and a horse-like lower body, or some Bison, wild deer, and even war horses, draft cattle, donkeys, etc. from the Song Dynasty can all be used for testing medicines.

Since discovering that the Beast Man's spinal cord is special, Ergou has concocted a total of seventeen bone-strengthening potions, twelve of which were tested on animals to verify the potion's efficacy and side effects.

For the remaining three copies, Ergouzai chose the three veterans with the strongest willpower and the richest life experience to try them out.

Such old soldiers are already at the end of their lives. Testing medicine is not a disaster for them, but a rare opportunity.

The results of the experiment are undoubtedly exciting.

In the words of an old guy, I seem to have returned to the age of fifteen, full of restlessness, and full of curiosity about the little lady and all that. Even the yellow-faced woman who was left at home, who had been tired of it for a long time, still has some aftertaste in thinking about it.

Twenty days later, after undergoing intense training and testing, the three veterans, whose martial prowess was no longer at its peak, not only returned to the peak of their prime, but even improved to a higher level, from the level of a great warrior monk. At the very top, he already has the entry-level level of Arahant.

Moreover, this increase in strength is not a forcible increase like a loft in the sky, but the three people's martial arts experience and skills have already reached the standard or even exceeded it before taking the potion. However, they are only affected by the excessive physical strength with age. Decline and make it difficult to make progress.

Nowadays, due to the activation of genes, their physiques have truly returned to the peak of their prime, and their physical strength has naturally broken through the bottleneck.

Experiments have proven that even if you do not exercise after taking the medicine, a dose of the medicine is enough to significantly improve the overall physical fitness of the user. Especially for those who have entered their twilight years, it has a miraculous effect like rejuvenation. .

However, Ergou is not sure whether this bone-strengthening potion has no hidden dangers at all. There may be problems hidden deeper.

Therefore, Ergou did not distribute more medicine to his horsemen, but conducted a larger clinical trial on a wider range of ordinary laborers.

This time Ergou did not distribute the potion one to one, but added the bone-strengthening potion to the soup that more laborers ate. Almost every hundred people took one potion.

In this way, Ergou distributed fifty portions of the potion to five thousand people to drink, thus conducting a large-scale verification.

The verified results are still very gratifying.

Among the 5,000 trial subjects, almost the vast majority of them drank soup with a bone-strengthening agent that was diluted 100 times, and their physical fitness was enhanced to varying degrees in the following twenty days.

Of course, this kind of enhancement cannot be compared to the effect of taking a dose of medicine alone. The main clinical manifestations are a substantial increase in physical recovery speed, increased energy, enhanced endurance, etc.

This change is not obvious among the younger workers, but more differences are reflected among the older workers.

Of course, there are also people who have experienced some not-so-good changes after taking diluted bone-strengthening potions.

For example, two workers suddenly developed horrifying horny scales on their bodies, and there were also several people who suffered from scabies all over their bodies.

Ergou paid great attention to these people who had adverse reactions to the bone-strengthening medicine. He ordered people to isolate them and then personally check the special features of these people.

Ergou soon discovered that these people had one thing in common.

These people who had adverse reactions to the bone-strengthening potion were actually guys who had eaten human flesh, or at least had eaten human flesh in the past year.

Ergou didn't know if this was the source of people's adverse reactions to bone-strengthening potions, but he would rather it was.

In order to test this conjecture, Ergou decided to conduct a thorough verification of all human beings based on their desire for land.

He made more potions, and then distributed them to everyone in a rationed manner, with one hundred people sharing one share.

The number of humans who came to Shenyang Realm had exceeded 100,000 at this time, and Ergou had made more than a thousand potions.

If these potions are directly distributed to cavalry with strong martial arts skills, Ergou can even create more than half of the top masters in batches. Think of 500 Gao Gongji or Lu Junyi combined with 500 Wu Song or Lin Chong, then What kind of concept will it be.

In fact, it's nothing, just a thousand beastmen who are as smart and united as humans and know tactics!
Think about it, it’s really mouth-watering!

However, no matter how greedy he was, Ergou still did not hesitate to distribute more than a thousand potions to everyone to dilute and drink. As an absolutely qualified demon suppressor, he understood the importance of the mass base.

To be honest, if all the more than thirty hunting teams under Ergou were wiped out, the strength of the entire human pioneering group would be severely damaged, but it would not be fatal.

A poet from later generations said: Talented people have emerged from generation to generation, and each has been leading the way for hundreds of years.

As long as the basic base of mankind remains, there will be no shortage of heroes.

But if something goes wrong with the lower class of humanity from the Great Song Dynasty, the entire pioneering camp will definitely collapse. When humans enter the Shenyang Realm to develop, whether they will lay down roots and establish a solid base, or whether they will disappear like rogue bandits, it all depends on whether Ergou can successfully resettle the ordinary people at the bottom.

Among them, the series of policies formulated by Ergou to calm the people are on the one hand, and it is also an indispensable means to remove the scum and pests mixed among the people.

The bone-strengthening decoction coincidentally plays a part in screening out pests.

One hundred thousand people were screened, but nearly a hundred cannibals were found. The ratio was close to one in a thousand, which was not low.

But Ergou didn't think so.

He discovered some problems with the origins of these cannibals.

Because most of these cannibals are heroes from the world, and some are former businessmen. There are only four or five cannibals who are truly ordinary people.

Not to mention heroes and merchants in the world of martial arts, due to the existence and prevalence of the art of making animals, anyone who is a greedy person in the world of martial arts has never eaten human flesh!

This is not because they like to eat human flesh, but this is the general environment in the world.

Think about it, you are exhausted from traveling around the world, eating and sleeping in the open. It is not easy to find a restaurant where you can have a warm meal. You still care about whether the meat is clean and where it comes from.

Of course, it's another thing to become someone else's food.

In fact, it was the four or five cannibals who were ordinary civilians who really attracted Ergou's attention.

In fact, cannibalism has already undergone some kind of evolution in the genes of Chinese people.

If there is no shortage of food, and most people just mention or hear the word "cannibalism", it will make them feel sincerely disgusted and uncomfortable, even those who have eaten human flesh.

Even in the case of extreme hunger, if it does not reach the point of possible group extinction, the cannibalism will not be broken by ordinary people.

People who have eaten people before are more likely to break through the bottom line.

Of course, there are also some people who eat so many people that they completely lose their humanity, such as Ma Shumou and Zhu Can during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, and Huang Chao during the Doomsday Period.

Needless to say, Ma Shumou and Zhu Can are essentially evil disciples who have been corrupted by evil spirits.

The most pity is Huang Chao.

Huang Chao was once an ambitious rebel against tyranny. When he rose up to rebel against the decadent Tang Dynasty controlled by aristocratic families, he was also favored by the Demon Suppressor.

However, although the Tang Dynasty was in a period of collapse at that time, the various vassal towns within the dynasty were not weak. Therefore, the Huang Dynasty suffered repeated defeats and made mistakes in decision-making. What a bad thing.

Especially when they finally broke through Chang'an, they were hijacked by a large number of evildoers controlled by evil spirits and sacrificed all the Tang Dynasty Gongqing family to Qingbao Tianzun.

Zombies were leaning outside the gates of the Sixth Army, and the seven camps were full of hungry people. The bones of the princes were trampled in the street, and the inner storehouses were burned to ashes!
It depicts the scene where the evil villains sacrificed the entire elite family in Chang'an City.

Since then, Huang Chao's rebels have transformed into twisted demon playthings, and were then strangled by the Demon Suppressors and the feudal vassals all over the world.

For example, the Shatuo tribe, the governors of various vassal towns, and the Demon Suppressors promised them to recognize the legal principles of their existence on a transcendent level, but only in exchange for these forces sending troops.

In the nearly eighty years from the Huangchao Uprising to the establishment of the Later Zhou Dynasty, the world was in chaos and it was difficult to unify. Even though countless heroes appeared, they could not end the chaos. In fact, it was because the demonized rebel army kept intervening in it to cause trouble. Caused by.

It wasn't until part of the final demon army was driven out of the Central Plains, and part of it was completely wiped out by the demon suppressors, that the world ushered in the dawn of unification.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Da then struck back with his hand, which made the tragic sacrifice made by the Demon Suppressor seem a bit sad.

After the world was at peace, the big bosses among the Demon Suppressors traced back to the origins of the Huangchao Uprising. The reason was that a group of cannibals mixed into the team and then spread the tradition of cannibalism among the rebels. This has been going on for a long time. The consequences eventually led to the entire anti-Tang rebel army falling into the abyss.

As the saying goes, remembering the past is the teacher of the future.

The greatest legacy left by our ancestors to our descendants is actually their mistakes and experiences.

With Huang Chao proofreading in front, how could Ergou turn a blind eye to the cannibals hiding among the common people.

It can even be said that when Ergou realized that the bone-strengthening drug might have the effect of activating genes, he had the idea of ​​conducting a large-scale drug diffusion trial.

Because Ergou knows better than anyone else that the genes of all evil criminals who are contaminated by the power of evil spirits have already undergone some very unfriendly mutations, and these mutated genes are always active.

The activation function of the bone-strengthening potion just accelerates the mutation of the evil gene, making it appear somewhat special and no longer able to be hidden among ordinary people.

Facts have proved that Ergou's plan was perfectly realized.

Five ordinary people who maintain the habit of cannibalism without being affected by the extreme external environment are very extraordinary when you think about it.

Ergou is very convinced that they are the real evil criminals who hide deeply.

If they are not dug out in time, countless innocent people will be dragged into the water by them in the future and eventually become tools and bait of the evil spirits.

Ergou had nothing to say to those former charlatans and businessmen who had eaten people. He only asked a little about the situation and then executed them all.

Only those few evil criminals, Ergou performed the cruelest memory extraction on them.

Using psychic energy to extract a biological memory is an extremely cruel and taboo technique.

Because it will not only destroy the nervous system of the extracted person, that is, burn the brain, but also cause the user to suffer memory pollution, especially when the person being subjected to the technique has many emotions and memories, it may even overwhelm the user's memory. Reason eventually led to his mental breakdown and even split, forming a dark sub-personality.

But Ergou dared to use this forbidden technique, so he had his own support.
