Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

Kane stopped McGee, then took out a small medicine bottle from his pocket, and swallowed it all in one breath.

It didn't take a while for Kane to return to normal, but his face still looked a little sluggish.

"Damn ore disease..." Kane whispered.

This legend in the media world is actually an infected person, or...the probability of being infected with ore disease is much higher than imagined, especially for people who have a certain amount of resources, the more things they come into contact with, the more It is possible to accidentally contract ore disease.

However, for a person of Kane's status, apart from having to take more medicine every day, ore disease will not affect him in any way.

After feeling better, Kane said in an unquestionable tone, "Now, call that woman over, I have something to tell her."

"Father!"

"I don't want to say it a second time."

McGee's lips trembled, and he stepped aside dejectedly, took out his cell phone and started calling.

But when the phone was connected, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously, which made Kane, who was watching from the side, shake his head again and again.

Being fascinated by a woman, this kind of trash son doesn't care.

There is no doubt that Kane has already sentenced this idiot son to death in his heart. Even if the country he conquered is handed over to this guy, he will not be able to keep these properties. Maybe... he should choose another option?

It may be because he was too much stimulated by Li Ang before, but now Kane's ideas have become a little radical.

Maybe in normal times, Kane would take the time to seriously teach his stupid son, but now he doesn't have so much time, and if he doesn't waste a minute, the legacy left by Adams is at risk of falling into the hands of others.

Instead of just adding to the chaos, this idiot might as well let him make some contribution to himself in the end. Anyway, everything and even his life are given by himself, so it is okay to take back now.

Looking at McGee's back, a cold light flashed in Kane's eyes, a hazy mist appeared on his hands, and he walked quietly behind McGee.

But just as Kane's hand was about to touch the back of McGee's heart, he stopped suddenly.

"Viviana, it's okay...I'll explain it to my father..."

At this time, McGee also just hung up the phone.

After he turned around, Kane had already dispersed the fog, and took his hand back as if nothing had happened.

It would be too wasteful to deal with this idiot now, since he values ​​that woman so much, this is something he can use.

"Father, the Candle Knight said she would be here soon."

After turning around, McGee said to his father, not realizing that he was almost killed just now.

"Very good," Kane said with a half-smile, "There is one more thing you need to prepare."

"Sanhua Knights, if I remember correctly, it should be this one. Let them prepare the Candle Knight's transfer agreement, and then send it to the chairman of Ball Pharmaceuticals."

Regardless of his son's changing expression, Kane decided, "Just say... this is my apology from Kane Ross."

As long as his goal can be achieved, no matter what he pays, it is worth it.

The Edge of Order: Chapter 39 Life Science Lab

Everything is developing in an orderly manner. A piece of "Act on the Treatment of Infected Persons" has stirred up the situation in Casimir. Although it has not been fully revealed at this stage, the forces of all parties have already launched plans for this in advance. The Association, the Business Union, the Unmanned Alliance, and even Rhodes Island, which is an outsider, have different thoughts on this.

Once the conflict contained in it breaks out, it may cause more serious consequences than the great partition of the four cities a few years ago. As the center of this storm, Li Ang didn't care about these things that haven't happened yet, and he still focused on doing his own thing. things.

Director A is now in a very hidden laboratory, and it took a little time for Li Ang to find his whereabouts. Fortunately, Li Ang knew the locations of all his laboratories, and after checking them one by one, he finally found his whereabouts.

This laboratory was built underground in a very ordinary hospital, which is enough to cover people's eyes and ears, and the consumables used in the research can also be obtained locally, which reduces the possibility of being discovered by others.

If Li Ang remembers correctly, the main research topic of this laboratory is... life science?

The research related to ore disease should be carried out here.

The level of secrecy in this laboratory is quite high. It is very likely that only Adams and Director A in the entire Ball Pharmaceuticals know this information. Li Ang also knows this information through the soul crystal left by Adams.

However, Adams' memory is too messy. In addition to his own life, there are also memories of a large number of people whose body he occupies. Information.

Coupled with the recent busy work, Li Ang temporarily put aside the matter of looking through Adams' memories.

……

Contrary to ordinary people's perception, there is actually quite ample space under the urban area of ​​the mobile city, which is called the lower structure area, and many things that are not convenient to be placed on the ground will be built in this layer of structure.

Following the hidden passage in the hospital and entering the lower structure area, Li Ang also found Director A sitting in the laboratory.

It was very rare that Director A did not throw his head on the experiment this time, but sat on a chair thinking about something. There was a pile of draft paper scattered on the table in front of him, which was filled with Director A's scribbled notes.

Hearing the movement from behind, Director A turned around and said with some surprise, "It's you? How did you find this place?"

"It's not important," Li Ang replied afterwards, "You can always find it if you take some time."

"That's right, it's not important." Director A nodded and replied absent-mindedly.

Director A is a little out of shape now, as if he has something on his mind, but Li Ang didn't want to be a confidant big brother, so he directly stated his purpose this time, "I remember you said before that you have done something related to ore disease. Research, can you come up with a treatment plan that you believe in? Can you tell me what's going on?"

"It's because of this..."

Director A managed to pull himself together and glanced at Li Ang, then thought for a while and said, "That's fine, I just happened to encounter some problems in my research, so let me take this opportunity to talk to you."

While explaining, it is also to sort out the whole experimental process from beginning to end, maybe there will be some unexpected inspiration.

"Come with me, the specific laboratory is still ahead."

Li Ang nodded, got up and followed Director A.

Soon, the two of them came to a long corridor. The two sides of the corridor were composed of glass grids of different sizes. The grids were filled with some kind of liquid, and some strange-shaped things were soaked in these liquids. , Li Ang really can't tell what these things are just by perceiving the field of vision.

Fortunately, Li Ang can now take the initiative to 'open his eyes' and regain the eyesight of ordinary people.

If you just look at it without using other abilities, the consumption of the origin stone energy by Opening Eyes is actually acceptable, and it can last for about one to two hours, which should be enough to confirm the research results of Director A.

After making up his mind, Li Ang opened his eyes, only to find that those locked in the glass grid were all infected creatures.

In addition to the most common source stone worms, claw beasts, and rock crabs, there are also some things that Li Ang can't name. Judging from the number of these glass grids, Li Ang suspects that Director A has caught all kinds of infected creatures One serving is here.

The degree of infection of these infected creatures is quite high, densely packed origin stone crystals grew on the body, and the original appearance was almost invisible, so Li Ang could not recognize it through the perception field of vision.

And judging from the slight trembling of these infected creatures, they are still alive, but they look a little disgusting.

At this time, the voice of Director A also came over, explaining the situation in this corridor to Li Ang, "These are infected creatures that I have spent a lot of effort to capture from all over the world, except for some very rare mutant individuals, My inventory here should be very comprehensive."

"What's the use of catching these infected creatures?"

"Of course it's for the study of ore disease."

Manager A replied naturally, he glanced back inadvertently, and then noticed Li Ang's slightly red eyes.

He froze for a moment, then said in surprise, "Wait for your eyes... have you found a way to restore your eyesight?"

At the beginning, Director A was conditional on restoring his eyesight, and he had to trick Li Ang into cooperating with his experiment, but even Director A was not fully sure about this matter.

After all, even if Director A is a genius, he is still subject to the technological development of this era.

Eyeball transplantation is theoretically possible, but the technical requirements are too high, and it is almost impossible to complete this kind of operation in this era.

Unexpectedly, Li Ang had already found a way to restore his eyesight after only seeing him for a few months, which caught Director A a little by surprise.

After all, apart from this condition, Director A couldn't think of anything else he could use to fool Li Ang.

"That's right," Li Ang replied with a nod, "But this is just a trick, it's a special Originium skill, only I can use it."

"Special origin stone skills? Is it a further manifestation of your perception?"

Director A only thought for a moment before guessing the general truth.

"Probably."

Li Ang himself was a little unclear about this matter, but Director A must have guessed correctly, this ability and his ability to perceive 'fluctuations' come from the same source.

"If that's the case, your eyes didn't lose their normal function after origin petrification, but you just need some special methods to activate them?"

I don't know what came to mind, Director A suddenly became a little excited, "It seems that my previous speculation is indeed correct!"

After saying such a sentence inexplicably, Li Ang heard Supervisor A ask,

"Do you think there is anything special about creatures like origin stone worms?"

Edge of Order: Chapter 40 Fusion

Origin Stone Worm?Is there anything noteworthy about this creature?

Hearing Director A's question, Li Ang seemed a little puzzled.

This kind of creature is like a cockroach, it can be seen almost everywhere, because it is so common that Li Ang never paid attention to this kind of creature.

The only thing he knew was what Li Ang read from books.

Due to the different living environments, the individual differences of Originium worms are very exaggerated. The most common ones are no different from cockroaches, and even children can be trampled to death, but some of the more special mutants can even make a mercenary The squad was wiped out.

For example, a high-explosive Originium worm grown in a highly polluted Originium environment is equivalent to a bunch of living high-explosive Originium bombs, and it is the kind with a particularly strong pollution ability.

In the glass grid just now, Li Ang saw a few of these things.

But in other words, the origin stone worm becomes dangerous because it is affected by its living environment, and if it leaves that environment, it is not an "origin stone worm".

But why did Director A specifically ask, what is so special about Originium Worms?

Reminiscent of the research topic of this laboratory, Li Ang had some guesses, and said with some uncertainty, "You mean...the degree of fusion between the origin stone worm and the origin stone?"

"Bingo, congratulations for answering correctly."

Director A snapped his fingers, then tapped twice on the glass panels on both sides of the corridor, a grid containing Originium worms was picked up by the mechanical arm protruding from the ceiling, and placed in front of the two of them .

"Even among all infected creatures, Originium worms are the most special kind."

As he said that, Director A took out a scalpel from nowhere, and cut a long wound on the bloated abdomen of the Originium Worm, exposing the inner structure.

There is almost nothing in the body of the origin stone worm that can be called 'flesh', but it is filled with dark origin stone crystals.

"The fusion degree of the origin stone worm and the origin stone can even reach 90%. Except for its shell, brain and part of the nervous system, they have been assimilated by the origin stone. Even if it is infected to this degree, the origin stone The Stone Worm is still 'alive'."

"Other infected creatures also have similar characteristics. Although they are not as exaggerated as the origin stone worms, the degree of fusion can reach 40% to 70%. But humans... no matter what race, as long as the fusion rate with the origin stone exceeds 20%, You will surely die."

As if talking about something exciting, Director A waved his hands excitedly, "What about humans? What is the difference between humans and these infected creatures? Why do they die when the fusion rate reaches 20%?"

Because of the different physiology?

Li Ang really wanted to answer this way, but after thinking about it, something seemed wrong. Do those creatures highly infected by the origin stone still have a "physiological structure" at all?Most of their bodies have been replaced by origin stones, but they are still alive and well.

However, as long as any important organ of a human being is assimilated by the origin stone, it will immediately play GG. This kind of differential treatment seems a bit unusual.

So Li Ang didn't speak hastily, and quietly listened to Director A showing off his knowledge.

"So I continued to research along this line of thought, and developed a special potion that can greatly improve the degree of fusion between the human body and the origin stone."

"After taking the medicine, the fusion rate can be increased to about 40%."

Is this the potion you said can cure ore disease?Is this the initiative to let the infected person reincarnate?

Li Ang was stunned for a moment, and then quickly realized that the reason why infected people died of ore disease was that the fusion rate of somatic cells and origin stones was too high, leading to organ failure, but the medicine developed by Director A could Fusion cap increased to 40%.

Just like those infected creatures, it almost doubles the lifespan of the infected, and because of the increase in the source stone content in the body, it will also enhance the ability of the infected to cast spells. This... This is really a new way.

Then Li Ang heard Director A say, "40% is the upper limit of the potion. No matter how hard I try, I can't improve it. At first I thought I was going the wrong way."

"But from what you said just now, I know that my guess is correct, but I just didn't find the right method."

"I overlooked a very important factor - infected creatures cannot use Originium skills!"

As for humans, no matter how poor their innate talent is before, after becoming an infected person, they will gain a certain degree of adaptability to Originium skills. Although they may not even be able to rub out a small flame, this is also a qualitative change from zero to one.

Director A said very excitedly, "Give me some more time and resources, maybe we can integrate human beings and origin stones, and completely control the power of origin stones."

Merge with the origin stone?

Hearing this, Li Ang couldn't help but frowned. He subconsciously resisted this kind of statement. If he became that kind of thing, could he still be called a human being?

As for the power to control the origin stone?After knowing the existence of the will of the origin stone, it seems that the behavior of Director A is particularly funny.

Li Ang is also a little hesitant about whether to let Director A continue to study. He always feels that there is something wrong with this medicine.

If the human body and the origin stone are fully fused, wouldn't it be possible to transform a human being into an 'origin stone creature'?

According to some calculations based on the origin stone and some characteristics of the infected, the origin stone creature means that the origin stone skill has been multiplied hundreds or even thousands of times, which means that spells can be used at no cost. Although it is not known whether the origin stone creature exists or not, but Intuition told Li Ang that this might not be a good thing.

"This research will stop for a while, and it is not allowed to continue without my permission."

Without giving Director A a chance to resist, Li Ang has already made a decision. If Director A is unwilling, as long as Li Ang cuts off his funding supply, his research will definitely not continue.

This dangerous research must be stopped.
