Chapter 737 Prototype and Infected

"It's not surprising, it's Orochimaru after all, and he ran away.

Zhizhang shook his head.

"But at least we still have ten thousand snakes. If we eat ten thousand snakes, we don't know how much natural energy we can absorb!"

Zhizhang continued.

"Hey, do you think we should tell the captain and others that eating animals can obtain natural energy?"

Baichi asked Zhizhang.

"Hey, what do you think?"

Zhizhang chuckled and didn't answer.

Everyone is infected with the black light virus, and they are not the prototype, so what are they trying to do?

After eating so many people, my brainlessness has become brainy.

"Let's just say it."

Bai Chi thought for a while and said.

"Why?"

Zhizhang asked curiously. They were not really in the same team. They were just a temporary team. More importantly, their captain was probably a prototype.

That is, "virus" rather than "people".

There is a big difference between black light virus infected people, adaptors and prototypes.

Blacklight viruses have been present on Earth since the beginning of life and are fundamental to evolution.

Although it is still unclear whether the black light virus is the origin of life on earth according to the world view of the original generation (personally I think it should be) or whether it is related to life on earth or even whether it is the oldest life on earth in this world view.

But it is still the fundamental cause and source of evolution of all living things in the worldview.

PS: It's a bit similar to the Getter Ray in "Getter SAGA", or the Warcraft in "True Warcraft Front", a special existence that is closely related to evolution and runs through the entire plot.

The virus "insertes" and activates non-coding DNA in the target's body, causing biological changes that create (and re-create) a sentient mind, creating an infected organism.

The earliest prototype, Elizabeth Greene.

The body had been in military custody since 1969 and still appeared to be that of a harmless 19-year-old girl.

When Greene wishes, she can put on a convincing disguise of innocence, but beneath it is a being of immense intelligence, calmness, planning, and billions of years of age.

She is evolution personified.

Like evolution, she is patient, but when she brings about change, it is violent, bloody, and permanent.

She is very heartless and has no emotional capacity to "care" for ordinary people.

Humans and all life on earth are "instruments" for further evolution.

No one knows these secrets.

Blackwatch still thinks she's just a genetic weirdo, when she really is something much more dangerous.

She sees the archetype as her replacement as an observer of evolution, or as another tool.

something that moves life forward; something that can be assimilated and utilized.

Then there are the infected.

The Hunter is a modified product of the Blacklight Virus.

Viruses reorganize and repurpose organisms into biokilling machines. Some hunters can assume human (or humanoid) form, while others are entirely non-humanoid.

Their intelligence ranges from animal to near-genius.

(So ​​they are not stupid. In a sense, it can even be said that compared with humans from a human perspective, they may even be said to have "amazing wisdom". Even the monsters in stereotypes are still smarter than humans. are controversial, but they are driven by the instinct to fight and obey and do not seem to understand human behavior very well)

→

They are inferior to the prototypes and most lacking is the ability to assimilate and disguise themselves as human targets.

Except for cooperation directly ordered by Green, the hunters hunted flesh and blood for themselves.

If possible, they would kill and devour each other to increase their strength and abilities. However, their main purpose is to defend the Grimm and assimilate the prototype.

The Hunters are agile and ferocious, and they accomplish their mission, being biological mercenaries capable of any atrocities to do their job.

They don't think in human terms and have difficulty "connecting" to the human perspective, even in moments of necessity with humans.

Hunters who are capable of understanding can be cunning and even intelligent, but their weakness in understanding human reactions often causes them difficulty.

They were only worried about the archetypes and the more important Blackwatch threat and conventional military strikes against humanity were considered irrelevant.

They all see the prototype as a contender for the "ultimate" position - a position second only to Green himself, and they will do whatever it takes to destroy him.

Hunters can infect targets with the Blacklight Virus, alter their form (in a limited way), assimilate and incorporate the abilities of other Hunters into their own.

Both Zhizhang and Baichi are just infected people one level higher than hunters. They are called adaptors in Prototype 2.

Compared to the prototype, there is naturally a huge gap.

It can be seen from Chang Wei's direct suppression and control of them, although they don't know that they are actually facing the Great Demon God.

"I'm tired of being alone."

Bai Chi said.

"I don't feel like I'm alone."

Zhizhang said with a pun.

"I don't want to go crazy, so I rarely absorb memories."

Bai Chi shook his head.

"Actually, it's not bad. Everyone's memory is a new experience. It feels like reincarnation."

Zhizhang said with a smile.

"So, is your name really Zhizhang?"

Bai Chi suddenly laughed and said.

"Who knows, you won't really call me Bai Chi."

"Hey hey hey."

Orochimaru returned to his base with a gloomy look.

He only escaped the disaster by running away. He never expected that the Black Light Clan could be so powerful.

There is such a powerful psychic beast that can also activate the sage mode. Although he said that he helped, it was enough to make Orochimaru jealous.

But this only made Orochimaru miss the Black Light clan even more.

"It seems that we can only find Danzo."

Orochimaru thought, Shimura Danzo is not strong, but playing dirty tricks is Shimura Danzo's strength. If he cooperates with the root, he might be able to catch it.

They are not so strong all the time.

At the same time, Zhizhang and Baichi ate ten thousand snakes and returned to Konoha Village. They immediately found Chang Wei and the others and revealed their guesses about natural energy and animals in the three holy places.

"I see!"

Yi Majing, Lu Chuxue and Fei Jiehe were all shocked. They never expected that there was such a shortcut to master natural energy.

"We originally wanted to absorb Hashirama's cells."

Chang Wei also followed suit.

Zhizhang and Baichi both took deep breaths.

Hashirama cells, if they hadn't already had a better black light virus, they probably wouldn't have been able to resist the temptation and grow a Senju Hashirama face on themselves.
