The world enters the age of myth

A month passed again, and batch after batch of hibernating people gradually woke up and saw the blue sky and white clouds. For them, coming to the new world was equivalent to starting a new life.

However, for the biologists in the paranormal laboratory, there is a very important task pressing on them!

"Treatment of parasitic infected people...the total number of infected people is more than 6,400! The treatment must be successful!"

With such a large population, most of them are elite soldiers in their twenties and thirties. If there is no way to save them, it will be a major political accident!

Therefore, every expert is working overtime.

"...This kind of parasite lives inside the human brain, and it is very troublesome. Fortunately, it was frozen in time, otherwise even if the Daluo Jinxian came to earth, there would be no way to treat it. We have found several drugs that can kill the parasite. Body, but..."

"but what?"

Since the Dongfang has been merged into the Capital of Clouds, these soldiers are equivalent to the people under his command, so Lu Yiming is naturally very concerned about this matter.

"The toxicity of these drugs is often too powerful and will kill the human brain as well. The brain is really too fragile..."

Professor Huang patted his bald forehead: "You know how sophisticated the human brain is. The parasitism of this kind of monster is unreasonable. Their main target is human neurons."

"I even have some suspicion that people who do not hibernate in time will have their brains occupied and there is no way to save them."

"Z element...can't do it either?" Lu Yiming asked.

Z element, as an entropy reducing element, will make things spontaneously develop in a good direction.

"You don't use Z element like this!" Professor Huang smiled bitterly: "Do you think it is a causal weapon? God knows whether the so-called 'good direction' is for humans or monsters."

"Human beings are not children of luck, so why should the 'good direction' be biased towards humans? Or maybe towards those parasites, but they will be a blessing in disguise and evolve further."

Lu Yiming sighed: "Then you mean, all these people can't be saved? There are more than 6,000 people!"

"Old Huang, six thousand people are not six people! Such a big thing will cause social unrest, so we must find a way no matter what."

Professor Huang showed a mysterious smile and shook his head: "Not really."

"There is still a small chance, that is, the green crystal you brought back. The crystal contains a special culture fluid that can allow life to evolve. We call it the 'evolution medicine'!"

"Through the evolution of culture fluid, we may be able to find a way."

"Let's go and see together."

Soon, Professor Huang took him into a tightly guarded supernatural laboratory.

This laboratory is located on the negative 4th floor of the underground space. The walls are made of special materials with supernatural properties and can be called Class A defense standards.

Lu Yiming saw a variety of research machines, most of which were biological machines that cultivated certain organs of the evil god. Certain special ingredients secreted by these organs had important experimental properties.

There is also a lively little golden dragon meditating in the air, with a marshmallow-like cloud at its feet.

The little golden dragon is actually not small anymore, with a body length of more than three meters and a weight of more than 200 kilograms. It has grown very fast in recent days.

"Hey, why are you here?" Lu Yiming asked curiously, "Didn't you study with Xuanwu? Have you already learned all the skills of the old turtle? Impossible, right?"

The little golden dragon shook its tail, blinked its eyes, shook its head again, and roared lowly.

It said that it was called here by Professor Huang, not that it came on its own initiative.

It just got bored here and "accidentally" fell asleep.

"You can still fall asleep accidentally." Lu Yiming laughed dumbly.

"Oh, it's like this, luck! Luck issues!" Professor Huang explained: "According to statistical research, where the golden dragon appears, the luck will rise accordingly, and many things will become smoother! This is not superstition. As for the actual statistics, as for why this is the case, there is no clear explanation yet.”

"Okay..." Lu Yiming didn't want to pursue this kind of thing, even though it sounded very superstitious.

"The green culture medium you mentioned...did you cultivate anything?"

The three green crystals and embryonic stem cell specimens, as the offspring of the demon-level life-form devourer, are subject to very strict control.

They are placed in a special warehouse underground in the City of Clouds. The current control level is Level A, which means the same level as Nubi Altar and Blood Demon.

Under this circumstance, any experiment is subject to strict approval. The expert team can only take out about 1 ml of liquid from the warehouse at a time, plus single-digit stem cells.

However, according to scientific research, one milliliter of culture medium and dozens of stem cells are enough to last for a long time.

"Look here, this is the final result after cell culture of Phagocytosis II stem cells." Professor Huang pointed to a culture dish and said: "This kind of stem cells showed extremely high activity and extremely high activity in the culture dish. With high phagocytic capacity, it can engulf and digest almost all foreign cells."

"And that's not even all..."

"It's...the baby in the green crystal? The swallowing ability..."

"Yes, we call it 'The Devourer II'."

"Okay...it's such a simple term." Lu Yiming shrugged.

But as for scientific terms, it’s good if you can understand the meaning. Being simpler can avoid some confusion in meaning.

"We have done a lot of experiments using cells from the second generation of Phagocytosis."

"The first experiment is a normal experiment. The stem cells of the second generation of Phagocytosis grow up normally and divide and differentiate smoothly. If nothing goes wrong, these stem cells will differentiate into a proper organ and cannot directly become a complete individual. .”

Stem cells are only partially totipotent.

If you want it to grow into a complete individual like a fertilized egg, you need the help of Z element. Of course, this kind of thing is absolutely impossible. The Z element is too rare and is also strictly controlled.

“In the second experimental group, in addition to the second-generation cells of the phagocytosis, living cell specimens of the evil god ‘Yuzhu’ and epithelial cells stripped from the venom glands were also placed.”

The venom glands in the petri dish continuously secrete paralyzing venom to provide output for humans.

"After the jade bead epithelial cells were found by the stem cells of the second generation of Devourer, a fierce war broke out between the two sides."

"The final result is that the Yuzhu cells are completely defeated and completely engulfed by the cells of the second generation of Devourer."

"Next, the embryonic stem cells continued to differentiate, and signs of Yuzhu poison glands appeared. Due to laboratory safety regulations, we had to destroy the corresponding specimens."

Lu Yiming frowned. This kind of experiment sounded really dangerous, but there was no way. Without completing this kind of experiment, it would be impossible to get more information.

"You mean, after the second generation Devourer ate Yuzhu's cells, it gained Yuzhu's ability to a certain extent?"

"That's right! It looks like this on the surface. It's really a terrifying creature! You know, the venom of the Jade Pearl Evil God is so powerful that it can even paralyze the dragon. But now, the cells of the second generation of Devourer also have have similar capabilities.”

That's not all.

Professor Huang pointed to the third petri dish: "We conducted the next experiment and asked the second generation of Devourer to devour the cells of the Horned Demon... The final result was that the Horned Demon was also defeated."

The Horned Demon, the evil god installed on the Taihang Mountain, can exude astonishing mental pressure and frighten the surrounding monsters.

"Soon after, during the differentiation process of the second generation of Devourer, the characteristic traces of the Horned Demon appeared."

"Even in these cells, corresponding ether values ​​were detected!"

"In the third experiment, the second generation of Devourer ate the Yuzhu cells and the Horned Demon cells in succession. During the differentiation process, physical signs of both appeared. It is actually a creature that can evolve infinitely. It is really incredible. It’s so powerful! If you let it keep eating, it will continue to evolve and have many different superpowers.”

Professor Huang became more and more excited as he talked: "In the whole process, the green evolutionary culture medium played the most important role. It is a special catalyst that ensures the activity of the cells to the greatest extent."

"Otherwise, it would be impossible for the second generation of Devourer to swallow up the jade beads and horned demon cells. Even if it doesn't work, these two are at the level of evil gods and will cause other creatures to mutate..."

"If it evolves to the end, it will definitely become an extremely powerful demon, and it will become more and more powerful, and it can evolve almost infinitely!"

"Okay, okay, I get it...but the second generation of Devourer is completely dead, and we have eliminated this risk. Unless the laboratory artificially helps it to be resurrected, it is impossible for this infinitely evolving creature to appear. This can be guaranteed, unless another Devourer appears somewhere else and gives birth to this kind of monster."

Lu Yiming spread his hands. Although he was a little scared, he remained calm on the surface: "Then, can this evolutionary culture fluid be used on humans? How to treat more than 6,000 infected people? This is the key. The problem!"

"It doesn't make sense to create super monsters in the laboratory, right? It's impossible for us to control such monsters."

Professor Huang said patiently: "Of course it's not that simple."

"The appearance of this culture medium is like the amniotic fluid in a biological uterus, which can fully stimulate the activity of biological cells. For example, the cells of golden dragons may also develop phagocytic ability after surviving in green culture medium for a period of time."

"Also, some somatic cells of people with regenerative abilities have strong vitality and can survive in the culture medium. If you use this evolutionary culture medium to cultivate human cells or the regenerative cells of other ordinary animals, you will find that these cells also have relatively different characteristics. Although the primary devouring ability is not comparable to that of the Devourer II, it still has extremely high research potential!"

"This is the ability of evolutionary direction. It shortens hundreds of millions of years of evolution to just a few hours. What if humans can further evolve?"

Lu Yiming pondered for a long time and shook his head: "You mean, let humans become the second generation of Devourers? Is this... the risk too great? If something goes wrong, I really can't afford it."
