Chapter 415: Iggy
After coming to "Christian", she suddenly encountered the disaster of "Tai Sui". When Tang Fang was trapped in the siege tank and the situation was unknown, she was the first to rush into the hangar; Catch it, when Tang Fang didn't know if he was alive or dead, she panicked. Even though she knew that the "c-14 piercer" had no effect on monsters, she shot like crazy.
In the end, "One-eyed Tai Sui" passed away, Tang Fang was safe and sound, and she was happier than anyone else.
After returning to the Morning Star, her body suddenly changed, and her skin became shriveled and shriveled. She was really terrified. If she was really a strong, fearless, and emotionless person, how could she say, "It's better to die than to be like this! "This kind of words.
Fortunately, the willows are dark and the flowers are bright, whether it is a happy ending or not, the mutation of her body not only did not take away her youthful beauty, but was a blessing in disguise, becoming more beautiful, sexier, and more charming. Come alive.
As the saying goes, a Taoist girl looks like someone who pleases herself, just like when she was at the Rocky Star MTR Skeleton Tavern, why did she leave the waitress's clothes behind? It's not just fun and good-looking, which can highlight her curvy and sexy body. Her real purpose is to show Tang Fang what to wear. As a girl, who doesn't want to show her perfect side in front of the person she likes!
Zhou Ai thought that she was doing all this in a very subtle manner, and it was impossible for outsiders to notice it, but she never expected that today, he, who had always been in love with her secretly, would speak out her mind.
Time seemed to freeze, the two of them just stood there, neither of them moved, only the slight hum from the vents of the air-conditioning system.
After a full minute, Zhou Ai suddenly raised his head and looked directly into Tang Fang's eyes: "Yes, I just like you!"
One sentence seemed to take all the strength out of his body. She sat down next to the edge of the bed, lowered her head and stared at her feet, quietly waiting for Tang Fang's response.
"When did it start?"
"Perhaps... it was the time to leave Planet 5. It may also be the moment when Silbero Starport was rescued by you."
Thoroughly expressing the emotions deeply buried in his heart, Zhou Ai was a little uneasy. There is also a sense of relief. She was different from Claire, the girl who lost her family and was used to pretending to be weak was too kind, too passive, and could only express her thoughts in an indirect way. But she is much braver, which is somewhat similar to Tang Fang's character, now that things have come to this stage. Instead of retreating, it is better to hold your chest up and face it bravely, at least you will not regret it, you will not regret it.
So, she said, without reservation!
Tang Fang took a deep breath: "Are you sure you really like me?"
The blushing on Zhou Ai's face slowly receded,
Nodding vigorously: "I'm sure."
"Then...help me detoxify first, it will suffocate people if this continues." Tang Fang pointed down.
The girl was taken aback when she heard that, and then lowered her eyebrows to look at the part he was pointing at. The original affectionate appearance immediately became willow brows, with a face full of hatred: "You bastard, you are a rascal at all!"
Tang Fang smiled shamelessly. Rubbing his chin, he said, "Say, am I going to become a legal citizen of the Dolanx United Kingdom?"
"The United Kingdom of Dolanx?" Zhou Ai remembered one thing. In the Monya Empire, there is a tax on the second house. The amount is so high that it even exceeds the house, but in the United Kingdom of Dolanx, there is no such regulation. Yes, everything follows the principle of mutual consent.
"Tang Fang..." The girl raised her brows, and a trace of anger was brewing between her brows: "You despicable and shameless guy." Speaking of anger. Get up and walk in front of him, raise your hand and hit him.
Tang Fang shrank his head and closed his eyes subconsciously. Unexpectedly, after waiting for a long time, the slap did not come down, but a little warmth pecked his cheek lightly.
"You have a good idea. I will never hurt Claire!" The voice faded away, and the girl's figure disappeared outside the door.
Tang Fang opened his eyes, and the smirk on the corners of his mouth slowly faded away, replaced by an indelible melancholy.
In the past, he only had a vague feeling about Zhou Ai's intentions, and he didn't dare to confirm it. Until today, Zhou Ai suddenly pulled him into the room, and a series of events that happened later confirmed his conjecture.
Comparing her heart to her heart, after experiencing such ups and downs, the first person Zhou Ai thought of was him, not Claire or Valentine. This shows that her trust in herself far surpasses everyone on the ship.
Just like Cinderella in a fairy tale, who would a girl most want to wear after obtaining such beautiful costumes as crystal shoes and colorful dresses? Don't think about it, it's naturally the boy I like in my heart.
In the final analysis, Zhou Ai is also a woman, not a sage who has no feelings, no emotions, and six desires. In the past, when the two were together, they would make little jokes from time to time. If the girl didn't like herself, with her character, she might have already Go crazy and break up.
Just now, the sentence "There is body soap in the bathroom and Claire's underwear in the closet. Don't worry, I won't tell her." Under what circumstances would a girl say that? Either it's a good buddy who is so naked that he can lie down together without any risk of being shot, or it's a joke between a lover and a girlfriend who is reserved and considerate but full of jealousy.
Tang Fang is a bit smart, but it doesn't mean he won't make mistakes, won't be impulsive, all kinds of speculations are stuck in his mind, and finally at the last moment, he made a fool of himself, and said those words lightly.
In fact, he regretted it as soon as he said it, even if Zhou Ai admitted it, what could he do? reject her? Or alienate Claire? You have to know that he is a serious straight man, why is he single-minded, you are the only one in this life, it's all shit, which man doesn't pretend to be a few women in his life?
Let’s just say that now, big beauties like Claire, Zhou Ai, and Freya hang around him all day long, and sometimes he still thinks of his first love in the previous life, her at the same table.
In fact, Tang Fang is very selfish. He is not a gentleman, let alone a saint. To be honest, he is very satisfied with his current life. He usually teases Claire; has sex with Zhou Ai; This game may be a bit wicked and tacky, but it is undeniable that he likes this kind of atmosphere very much.
Therefore, after the girl said what she had been hiding for a long time, he subconsciously chose to escape and remained silent.
Of course, this situation did not last long, who is he? Captain Tang. Maybe there is no big strategy, but there is never a shortage of small cleverness, so. Continue to tease Zhou Ai in the form of gags, and use "Citizens of the United Kingdom of Dolanx" as an introduction. To test the girl's reaction, who knows that Zhou Ai turned around and ran out the door with the excuse of "she will never hurt Claire".
"Children's relationship is still chaotic, alas!" Tang Fang sighed, feeling that dealing with relationship problems is a thousand times more tiring than fighting against the empire.
It can be seen that Zhou Ai, like him, is in a mess. Very hesitant, at a loss.
"Whatever, just let it be." Gently rubbing the hickey on his cheek, a smile appeared in Tang Fang's eyes.
While he was worried here, on the other side, Zhou Ai walked forward absent-mindedly all the way. Thinking of that guy with a belly full of ghosts, she couldn't help shaking her head and smiling wryly.
Perhaps, it is because he is a rascal, loves to play tricks, and is usually lazy. The character of being brave to take responsibility at the critical moment made her involuntarily moved to the truth.
"Hey, sister Zhou Ai. Why are you back again?"
Before she knew it, she had arrived at her destination. Zhou Ai looked up, and Ying Luo was looking at her curiously. Next to her, Roy was holding a half-gnawed orange in his hand, and was also looking at her suspiciously. You must know that she has been tossing and tossing back and forth three times. Usually, she can't come once in ten days and a half months. What's the matter today?
"Oh, I'm here to find Professor Valentine." Zhou Ai adjusted his mood. Said.
"The professor is still in the laboratory." Roy pointed behind him.
"By the way, what about Claire and Grant?"
"Go to the resource supply station to check the repair progress."
"Oh." Zhou Ai nodded. He said: "You guys are busy." After saying goodbye to the two of them, he walked into the laboratory.
It took 3 or 5 minutes. Seeing that Tang Fang also went back and forth, the two couldn't help but look at each other. He and Zhou Ai left hand in hand not long ago, and they both returned in a blink of an eye. What did these two people sing?
"Where's Zhou Ai?" Tang Fang asked.
"In...it's in." Roy threw the gnawed orange peel into the trash can, and wiped the orange juice off his hands on the hem of his clothes. Yingluo rolled her eyes at this action of dropping the dirt.
"En." Nodding to the two, Tang Fang rushed into the laboratory with a few strides.
"Brother Tang, is he going to snatch a kiss?" Roy muttered to himself.
Yingluo didn't speak, and took out a wet wipe from her pocket and handed it over: "I really can't help you, don't wipe it on your body in the future."
"Hey...hey..." The half-child just smirked.
Tang Fang opened the door of the laboratory and walked into the room. Valentin and Li Ziming were frowning, looking at the genetic model constantly spinning on the monitor, silent.
Zhou Ai held a cup of hot water in his hand, and sipped it one after another, while he was in a daze, not knowing what he was thinking.
Hearing someone coming in, the girl looked up at him, pretended to be calm, and smiled back.
"How is it?" Tang Fang nodded at her, then turned to look at the two people in front of the monitor.
"I'm going to find you." Valentin took his hand and walked to the monitor, pointing at the constantly rotating dna model on the screen with excitement: "How did you do it?"
Tang Fang was stunned by these words: "I...how did I do it?"
"That's right." Valentine pointed at Zhou Ai, and then at him: "What did she say, you did it."
Tang Fang had a black line on his forehead, thanks to the dna model that was constantly spinning on the monitor, if it was replaced with a b-ultrasound, it would be impossible to clean it up even if you jumped into the Yellow River.
"Ha... aha... ahaha." Tang Fang gave her a hard look, but the girl shook her eyebrows provocatively at him and sneered again and again.
"Professor, you'd better just say it straight." A good man doesn't fight with women, and with Zhou Ai's aggressiveness, arguing with him in front of others is simply asking for trouble.
"Look here." Valentine slid the touchpad of the palm pda, and the corner of the dna chain on the large screen that was synchronized with it was enlarged. Then, the window shrinks to the left, and the right side of the large screen is divided into upper and lower columns.
The upper column is the double-helix dna model of ordinary human beings, and the lower column is the net-like dna model of ipsi dragon.
As the lens continues to zoom in, the three images are miniaturized from the overall DNA molecular chain level to a specific gene fragment.
After Tang Fangzai made a careful comparison, his eyes burst into light. It turned out that the subtle changes mentioned by the Queen of Worms meant that the bases of a specific segment of Zhou Ai's gene were replaced with similar parts of the Ipsi dragon gene.
"Professor, since Zhou Ai's genes are mixed with the genes of the Epsi dragon, isn't it similar to Freya? There is no danger, right?" You must know that "fusion hybrids" are not so easy to be, survival The rate is extremely low.
Valentine looked back at Zhou Ai, shook his head and said, "Otherwise, Zhou Ai is different from Freya. It's not a "fusion hybrid."
"As a 'value-added hybrid', Tang Lin has one more chromosome in his body than ordinary people, and a 'fusion hybrid' like Freya. Its genetic structure has been mutated, and the double helix has been stretched and extended. The base and ribose There is an extra embedded ipsilon gene band between them."
"The ipsilon gene band separates the base and ribose sugar of human dna in a special molecular expression form, and inserts itself between the two. This molecular structure that can be connected with different bases and ribose sugar, I named it 'Iggy'."
"Iggy..." Tang Fang fixed his gaze on the enlarged image of Zhou Ai's gene fragment.
"I'm sure you've noticed it too." Valentine clicked on the touchpad of the pda, and a red spot flickered somewhere on Zhou Ai's gene fragment model.
"Here, there are several other places where the bases should have been replaced by Iggy. This change is different from the 'value-added hybrid', and it is also different from the 'fusion hybrid'. Moreover, there are only a few places. Compared with Tang For Lin and Freya, the proportion of mutant fragments in the entire gene chain is very low."
"For example, Tang Lin's human side accounts for 98%, and Freya's human side accounts for 75%, but when it comes to Zhou Ai, the proportion of human genes is as high as 99.99999%, and the proportion of Epsilon's genetic material is only negligible. a bit."
"No wonder... No wonder Zhou Ai's body does not show the ability to manipulate electrical energy, but it turns out that the proportion of Epsilon's genetic material is only a negligible 0.00001%." After listening to his explanation, Tang Fang finally understood.
Valentine smiled and nodded: "Those parts were replaced by Iggy's clips. The impact on the human body is mostly on the physical side. Therefore, apart from the improvement of physical fitness, Zhou Ai did not show any other special abilities."
"Really not..." Tang Fang was noncommittal: "Zhou Ai, didn't you tell the professor about the colorful scales in the vest?"
Zhou Ai glared at him vigorously, but did not speak.
"Colorful scales? What kind of colorful scales?" Valentin was stunned. When Zhou Ai came to the laboratory, he only said to test the DNA. Where did he mention the colorful scales.
"Ah!" The girl sighed, blushing, walked to a treatment table and lay down on her body, gently lifted her clothes.
When the seven-color scales glowed a round of rainbow light under the chandelier, Valentine was stunned for a moment, as a biologist and half a doctor. He knew very well that it wasn't a tattoo, it wasn't a painting. Not even a skin disease.
Li Ziming's mouth opened and closed in shock, and after a while he poked Tang Fang's chest with his elbow: "Brother Tang, it's alright, you! You got rid of Leng Meiren so quickly, brother, I really admire, admire..."
This guy is also a master who never leaves his old profession. After he finished speaking, he paused, and then said: "Two... can you bear it? If you have any difficulties, tell me, I will protect you every night, and there will be thousands of girls Undue bravery."
"Pfft!" Tang Fang spit out most of his coffee, "Brother Li, where did you come from?"
"Authentic professional background, as if fake!"
"It's strange to believe you." Tang Fang looked at his yelling, curled his lips: "The more I look at you, the more I think you look like a salesman of 'health care products'."
"What are you two talking about?"
Valentine walked to the front of the treatment table, stared at the colorful scales on Zhou Ai's vest for a while, put on the latex gloves, took a scalpel from the knife holder, and pressed it on her vest: "Does it hurt?"
The girl frowned: "A little bit."
At this time Tang Fang walked up to her, grabbed her hand, and said softly, "Hold on."
"Yeah." The girl felt relieved. She wasn't afraid of being stabbed, gunshots, etc., but when someone put a scalpel on the treatment table and dangled it in front of her eyes, no one would feel better if the scene changed. Fortunately, Tang Fang was by her side, which made her a lot easier.
Valentine didn't say much, tilted the blade, and gently wiped the surface of the scales.
"Ah..." Zhou Ai screamed, his whole face turned pale in an instant, and sweat gushed out from his forehead.
Tang Fang trembled in fright. The girl in front of her was always strong. If it was normal, she wouldn't even blink if she took a blood test or took a sample. Although Valentine used a scalpel this time, it shouldn't be like this?
Valentin and Li Ziming did not move, their faces remained unchanged, and their hands were as steady as cast iron. From this point, we can see the difference between professionals and ordinary people.
"It seems that the nerves in the scales are relatively dense, and the pain is too high. This is not acceptable." Valentine removed the scalpel and said with a frown. Although Zhou Ai felt the pain, he couldn't cut the scales with the knife, which made him very puzzled. Judging from the hardness of the scales, the epidermal tissue was very hardened. Since it has such hardness, why is it so sensitive?
"Then what should we do? Is it possible to forget it like this?" Tang Fang said with a sullen face, not to mention that Zhou Ai had confessed his heart to him, even if he hadn't confessed, he couldn't let it go. God knows that the scales on her back are a What, if it is a tissue related to the phagosome, wouldn't it be a time bomb?
You must know that Zhou Ai was shot by a parasitic vesicle when she was in "Christelle". Although Tang Lin acted in time, the vesicle failed to take root, but what if something else unclean entered her body?
"There is another way." Valentine thought for a while and said.
Tang Fang leaned down and wiped off the cold sweat on Zhou Ai's forehead with his hands.
The girl smiled at him: "Don't worry, I can hold on."
Tang Fang clenched her hand, turned his head and nodded at Valentine: "Hurry up."
"Understood." The old professor agreed and told Li Ziming a few words, and the two immediately got busy. (to be continued)
