Chapter 494 The Poison Boy

Tang Fang was kicked out of the room by the girl. He didn't understand why. Anyway, her eyes were a little red, and she seemed to want to cry. Originally, she wanted to comfort her and say a few nice words, but she didn't expect to push her out the door .

The girl told him not to think too much, just be quiet for a while, but Tang Fang found it difficult not to think too much. Could it be that he said something wrong? It doesn't seem to be... Or it hurt her when you put on your shoes? It seems that there is no...

He turned around and walked towards the medical area in the belly of the ship. When he passed the armory, he suddenly came to his senses. Could it be because of the marriage customs he casually mentioned? She thought that Zhou Ai was also a Han Chinese, so she stopped and stood there thinking for a long time, but she didn't even hear a few crew members passing by say hello to him.

"Alas!" He sighed, bent his fingers and tapped on his forehead, and muttered in a low voice, "Misfortune comes from the mouth... Misfortune comes from the mouth..."

Thinking that Zhou Ai has promised not to hide from him anyway, the goal has been successfully completed, and everything will go with the flow, so he cheers up and continues to move forward. After a few minutes, he arrives at the medical area and turns left into the medical laboratory where Valentine is.

The old man was wearing a white coat and sitting next to a multifunctional desk in the corner, with a steaming cup of coffee in front of him. He lay on the back of the swivel chair, gently pressing his temples with his fingertips, with a tired look on his face.

In the attached lounge of the laboratory, Linglong was adding water to the coffee pot. Roy next to her was staring at the monitor with a focused expression. He tapped the keyboard lightly with his fingers and entered the data on the paper file into the computer.

Li Ziming is not here today, so the laboratory is much quieter.

Until he entered the room and heard the sound of footsteps, Valentine frowned slightly, opened his eyes, and saw that the visitor was him. A smile appeared on the face full of vicissitudes of the years, shaking his head and sighing: "A person is useless when he gets old, and his head is heavy during the day. But at night, he dreams more and sleeps less."

Tang Fang pulled the cup of coffee in front of him and handed it to his lips. Enduring the heat, he took a big sip: "Then you still drink coffee."

Valentine said: "I'm not used to drinking tea, and I always feel that it's not as thick as coffee."

"Your humor is very different from others." Tang Fang said with a smile: "Is it also because of getting older?"

Valentine laughed loudly, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes narrowed into a line, which woke Roy in the attached rest room, and Linglong who was filling the coffee pot with water.

"Are you here just to bicker with me, an old man?"

Doing research is the same as many creative jobs, you need to be able to endure loneliness, but this does not mean that researchers must be lonely,

to him. Research is just out of interest, and it is no different from other people in terms of personality and life. Li Ziming always likes to "quarrel" with him like this. It is the only adjustment in the boring research life. Tang Fang.

"Someone said that fighting against the sky, the earth, and people is a great joy."

Valentine sneered, "I'm old."

Tang Fang said: "Old and spicy."

Valentine continued to sneer: "You still have to fight back and forth when you are old. That's called old age. Don't bully me because I don't understand Chinese culture. When I was young, I also took Chinese elective courses for a few years."

"To be old and not die is to be a thief! The time is reserved for you young people."

Tang Fang drank all the coffee in the cup: "Wa Lao is in such a good mood."

The coffee was brought back from the "Sky Garden", and it was delivered to the villa by White David before leaving, saying it was Agnes's instruction. It can be seen as a gesture of favor from the "Roamer Technology Consortium".

The same quality, the same color, the difference is the taste and the person who makes the coffee.

The old man saw that he drank so much that he didn't leave a little bit for himself, he was a little unhappy, and said in a low voice: "No wonder those people have trouble with you, they don't have any respect for the elders."

He was surprised and said, "Hey, who said the phrase 'to be old and not die is to be a thief'?"

Valentine scolded angrily: "Stinky boy, ten Li Zimings are not as sharp as you."

Seeing that the old man's spirit gradually recovered. Tang Fang stood up and said, "I didn't have time to come here when I was in 'Babylon'. What's the matter? Is there any clue about the research on that weird arm?"

Valentine walked to the dna sequencer next to him. Turn on the power, and then turn on the simultaneous display system. Pointing to the deformed arm in the sample storage cabinet, he said, "Are you sure this arm was obtained from a human?"

This is already the third time he asked such a question. The first time was when Tang Fang sent it back to the Morning Star, and the second time was when the research results came out and he called to report.

Tang Fang withdrew his gaze from that arm, looked into his eyes and nodded vigorously: "I'm sure."

This was cut off from a member of the Brotherhood with the psionic blade when he encountered a terrorist attack on the Ankalim Space Station. The scene at that time is still fresh in his memory. The others don't know how dangerous they will encounter.

Valentine said no more, and pressed the buttons on the touch panel of the console.

The holographic projection system on the opposite side sprinkled a beam of brilliance, intertwined with green and rainbow, and drew a dna model map that was constantly rotating in midair.

It is a very standard double helix structure, but it is very different from the human dna structure in terms of component composition and various genetic material pairing rules.

"The dna structure of this deformed arm is very strange. After nearly half a month of research, it was found that they contain not only a large number of human gene fragments, but also a small amount of ipsi dragon gene components. In addition, there is another The dna material of a living thing."

"I separated the dna material of the strange creature, carried out data modeling, and then started the screening program of the gene bank, but no match was found, which shows that the strange creature is a brand new species that has not been discovered by humans, of course , it is also possible that the computer gene pool is too old, or that the creature is artificially hidden."

Tang Fang looked carefully at the genetic components of the Ypsi dragons marked by Valentine with dark blue plaques on the dna model and fell into thought.

Before leaving "Babylon", he thought that he hadn't obtained any clues about the yp-001 specimen during this trip, but judging from the dna model in front of him, wasn't it just the clues he had been looking for for a long time? Since the genetic components of the Ypsi dragon were detected from the modified right arm of the Brotherhood member, does it mean that the Brotherhood has a sample of the Ypsi dragon tissue in its hands, maybe Faraday used the specimen of yp-001 for research It also flowed from their hands.

Brotherhood... cloning, body modification. Yipsi dragon gene...

Supreme Security Council... Phagosome, Phagosome Modulation Technology, Biological Battleship Research...

How are the two related. Is it a different department of the same organization? Or are they simply two underground forces operating independently?

Valentine continued: "Although no match was found in the gene bank, the screening module found a similar structure in the plant kingdom. It was an Asteraceae organism with the number 'jle-065', which has the same characteristics as the dandelion. They are somewhat similar, but they are huge in size, hundreds of meters high."

"'jle-065' originated from an terrestrial planet named 'Girard'. The planet's atmospheric cloud layer is very thick. Due to the influence of geographical environment factors, the high-altitude atmospheric circulation activities are intense, and the life activities of jle-065 It's very interesting. Every flowering period, they will eject a strange spore from their bodies. This spore will be blown by the strong wind of 'Girard' at high altitude, and it will bloom into many cotton-like seeds as quickly as fireworks. The wind travels around and becomes the most dominant plant on 'Girard'."

After listening to this sentence, Tang Fang recalled the actions of the members of the brotherhood at that time. This deformed right arm was used as a long-range attack weapon. Could it be... a range-killing weapon? Like a cannonball?

"Walao, is the dna structure of this right arm somehow related to epic creatures like giant snakes?"

The old man thought for a moment. His eyes were a bit complicated, and he was somewhat uncertain in his doubts. He hesitated for a while and said, "Probably not. Compared with the dna of the giant snake, the dna of this right arm does not have the phagosome gene, and the order of the genetic material is completely different."

Tang Fang also felt that he was overthinking. Big guys like giant snakes and Xieyan all feed on zero vegetarian food. Moreover, according to the memories that appeared after Xieyan died, they appeared far earlier than humans The rise of civilization, how could it be a human creation.

Although the DNA from the deformed right arm won't unlock any technology, knowing they're related to Ipsi genes makes it more likely that the Brotherhood has a sample of Ipsi tissue. And it is a great harvest to have a deep research on it.

"Walao. Thank you for your hard work."

"It's my job and my hobby."

finished. Seeing Roy and Linglong come out of the attached lounge, Valentine pointed to the unappetizing right arm of the sample cabinet and said, "Roy, put it in the refrigerator at the back."

The middle-aged man nodded yes, walked over and took out the right arm, turned around and walked towards the thick door of the deepest refrigerator in the laboratory, behind which were placed biological samples that had been studied in the past.

While walking, he thought to himself, finally this disgusting arm can be taken away from the laboratory. When he and Linglong came over not long ago, the girl was so scared that her face turned pale and she almost cried on the spot.

Roy was very happy to get it away, and even pinched it hard during the walk to avenge Linglong, and planned to tell her afterwards, saying, "Don't be afraid, with me here, no one can hurt you."

The door of the freezer was not far away, only three or five steps away, at this moment, an unexpected thing happened, the arm holding the broken arm suddenly turned black out of control, like a black hurricane spinning upwards , devouring that arm all at once.

He was stunned, and fear emerged from his heart. He couldn't understand why his right hand, which was originally good, suddenly lost control. He didn't want to go back to the time when he was in the Beijiao Research Institute. He didn't want to be swallowed by the phagocytosis, and he didn't want to become a monster , I don't want to die, because now I have a girl I like, a new life, and many partners who can entrust my life.

So he yelled in a crying voice: "Tang...Brother Tang, save me..."

As early as the moment when the mutation happened, Tang Fangfang rushed over Linglong and Valentine one step ahead. When Roy asked for help, he was already behind him. He didn't care to move the surrounding medical equipment. After a worm emerged.

Its size is not small, and the aisle of the laboratory is not enough to accommodate it, so the experimental equipment around it was bumped into a mess.

"Roy, Roy...how are you?"

Linglong shouted not far away, and Valentin grabbed her hand vigorously. He knew that Tang Fang was not afraid of devouring bodies, but they couldn't. Rushing over rashly would not help, and accidents might happen.

One of the queen's appendages stabbed at Roy's fast-moving right arm. Tang Fang grabbed a scalpel next to him, attached the high-energy electrons in his body to the blade, and shot out high-voltage arcs that circulated one after another.

If there is a message from the queen that the phagocytosis has run amok. He would cut off Roy's right arm without hesitation.

It is better to lose an arm than to lose your life. What's more, with today's medical level, the most advanced prosthetics are not necessarily harder to use than the original ones.

However, what is surprising is that the queen did not send any bad news, the appendage pierced into the blackened organic tissue without any resistance, after a few seconds, the queen retracted the appendage, and then seriously " Think" for a while. Send a message to Tang Fang: "It ate it..."

The former is naturally Roy's right arm, and the latter refers to the deformed right arm.

Tang Fang thought about it carefully, and asked, "You mean, it ate it, just like eating food?"

The queen shook its huge head, made a very humane movement, and said, "Yes, master."

"Can I understand that Roy is not in danger?"

"Yes Master."

The same answer, the same hoarse voice, and the same soothing tone made him want to curse. No, it's scolding bugs.

At this time, the black tissue of Roy's right arm slowly shrank. It changed back to its original size, and changed from black to white, and turned into a human right arm again. As for the deformed arm, it shriveled and cracked, becoming scattered bones and glue on the ground.

Tang Fang took the queen back, looked at the boy and said, "How do you feel? Is there any discomfort?"

Roy moved his five fingers, shook his arm again, and clenched his fist. A vein protrudes from the skin, extending from the wrist to the crook of the elbow.

"It seems to be all right," he said.

Finish this sentence. Looking at the right arm again, he said with some uncertainty: "It seems to be a little different."

Tang Fang asked, "What's the difference?"

He gripped the scalpel tightly in his hand. If there is any danger, he will cut off that right arm without hesitation, even if it has the hardness of steel, it will definitely not be able to stop the cutting of high-energy electrons.

Although the scalpel is small, it is sharper than a laser when he uses it.

Roy tried to raise his arms, closed his eyes, seemed to be thinking, and seemed to be concentrating.

The right arm began to change. The cell tissue that could only be blackened slowly revealed a touch of green, then expanded and deepened, and soon spread to the entire arm. The muscles swelled little by little, forming a shiny vesicle structure. The purple meridian becomes wider and harder, like a purple dragon coiled on a stone pillar.

A look of astonishment flashed in Tang Fang's eyes, because the boy's right arm now looked like the deformed arm he cut off from a brotherhood member.

He thought of Alex?r again, and then he stared at the young man like a wolf seeing a lamb, and said, "I'll blame you for the loss."

Roy didn't understand the meaning of his words for a while, but he understood the encouragement in his eyes, so he closed his eyes, wrinkled his nose and exerted force, which made the boy's facial expression a little wretched.

The surface of the vesicle was brightly radiant, and it beat violently for several times, as if there was a heart growing inside. The vesicle-like structure in the front of the arm opened, and the sphincter-like tissue in the middle was turned outward, and a ball the size of an apple was ejected with a pop dark green balls.

The ball hit the wall of the freezer and shattered, forming a splash radiation area about 3 meters in diameter.

Roy frowned looking at the violently wriggling sphincter at the front of his right arm. He felt that this structure looked like some kind of indecent organ, and he felt uncomfortable.

"Brother Tang, I've tried my best to control my strength, but I still can't grasp the size of that...uh...'bullet'. If you give me a little more time, maybe it will be better."

The "bullet" he was talking about was naturally the green ball he had just shot. He originally wanted to make it smaller, but because it was made by hand, he made it the size of an apple and painted the wall white.

Roy waited for a moment without hearing a reply, so he gave up looking at the sphincter in the front of his arm, and followed Tang Fang's gaze towards the wall.

The alloy wall there was originally as smooth as a mirror, but at this moment it turned into mottled scrap iron, and the green tissue fluid sputtered after the ball shattered actually etched through the skin, penetrating into the alloy wall several centimeters deep.

He was stunned, looking at the big hole in the center as if petrified. In the past, his right arm could become very hard and powerful, but he could not carry out long-range attacks. He did not expect to evolve such an ability after swallowing that deformed arm. , Those green solutions can etch through the alloy walls, and naturally they can also etch through the power armor.

Linglong stopped shouting, because Roy was safe and sound, and because she was petrified by the horror on the back wall.

Valentine is very calm. As a biologist, especially after studying many incredible species, he thinks this is nothing. The boy's right arm itself is mutated from phagosomes, and The strongest ability of the phagosome is to devour and assimilate strange species and take their abilities for their own use.

"Boy, congratulations, you have been promoted to another level."

Tang Fang patted him on the shoulder and stood up, his expression was calm and indifferent, and he didn't feel distressed at all.

Of course he doesn't feel distressed, he is very happy because he has cultivated another monster. Although fundamentally speaking, Roy's upgrade has nothing to do with him, but he stubbornly believes that he did not cut off the deformed arm Without this accident, without this accident, there would be no newborn poison boy.

Suddenly remembered what Roy said just now about "hands can't control their strength", and asked: "Is this the greatest power of the 'Chrysanthemum Remnant'?" (To be continued)
