1674 Cultivation

Soon, Qiu Yaokang called out to his researcher to take out the artificially cultivated original devouring body virus sample from the low-temperature cultivation pod next door.

In front of the sealed alloy glass window, Qiu Yaokang controlled the mechanical arms and used a pair of tweezers to gently clamp the fragment, approaching the original devouring body virus sample.

“Chi chi chi…”

The distance between the two sides was about one meter. The originally calm original devouring body virus sample seemed to have been activated in an instant. A mass of black mucus floated in the air and jumped up!

It was exactly the same as the collective creature he had seen in the exhibition hall!

Fang Heng raised his eyebrows and asked Qiu Yaokang, “How is it?”

Qiu Yaokang His eyes were full of interest.

Ever since he got the original devouring body virus, he had been conducting research on it, trying to fuse the virus with Fang Heng’s zombie clone.

There had been no progress in his research.

He was sure that he was lacking some kind of stimulant.

As a result, the research could only be put on hold for the time being and he turned to other more groundbreaking research.

“Yes, I haven’t conducted any further tests. From the current state, the fragment you gave me can be used as a trigger medium to activate the original devouring body. The exact principle is still unclear. I need some time to carry out experiments. I’ll immediately start developing it…”

Good!

The original devouring body virus was obtained from the intermediate barbarian realm.

It was a special virus body produced by the combination of the initial virus and the original devouring body.

Calling it the original devouring body became a habit.

To be more precise, there were two different forms of the original devouring body mutation.

The first was the crystallized form, a mutation that occurred after the initial virus fused with a crystallized creature.

Previously, Fang Heng had tried to evolve it in the mid-tier apocalyptic game world.

Crystallized zombies’ attack power was greatly increased, and broken limbs could cause explosions.

As for the original devouring body form, he had yet to succeed.

Back when he was dealing with the original devouring body virus, the creature had an extremely persistent ability.

Resurrection!

The ability to immediately revive after turning into ashes!

Fang Heng’s eyes flashed with excitement.

No matter which ability it was, it was what he needed most right now.

He was not in a hurry.

Fang Heng told himself to calm down.

According to Qiu Yaokang’s previous routine of studying the Licker and the fusion Tyrant form, he would need at least ten days to half a month before he could get any concrete results.

Other than that, he had another problem.

He had no more King of Gods’ points left.

Even if Qiu Yaokang completed his research, he would not be able to complete stabilizing the form.

“Alright, thank you for your hard work. When the experiment begins, be sure to inform me.”

Fang Heng nodded at Qiu Yaokang and prepared to give him time to study it slowly. He would meet up with Fana in the game first.

“Wait a minute.”

Qiu Yaokang reached out his hand to stop Fang Heng, who was about to leave the laboratory. He lowered his head to look at the time and said, “I’m informing you now. In ten minutes, we will conduct the first round of fusion tests between the modified zombie and the original devouring body.”

Fang Heng had yet to step out when he heard Qiu Yaokang’s words. He was shocked and quickly shrank back.

“Huh? What did you say? Ten minutes?”

“The original devouring body is an extremely primitive creature that has been fused with a portion of the Hila virus. Hmm, it’s indeed very complicated to explain to you. In short, I’ve been studying the original devouring body for more than a month.”

Qiu Yaokang’s expression was indifferent, and he looked very normal.

How could he be called a researcher without any research results in more than a month?

“The live experiment is ready. We’re just waiting for the plan to activate the original devouring body virus. With this fragment in your hand, we can directly carry out the next test. Follow me. I’ve already asked the research team to prepare for the test.”

So fast?!

Fang Heng opened his mouth, unable to accept it for a moment.

Qiu Yaokang was a little too strong this time.

“Alright, alright…”

Ten minutes later, Fang Heng followed Qiu Yaokang to the live research lab.

On both sides of the walls of the newly built main hall, there were large zombie petri dishes.

Many researchers were busy in the hall.

Seeing Qiu Yaokang’s arrival, the researchers’ expressions became even more serious.

Qiu Yaokang led Fang Heng to a large petri dish instrument at the back of the hall.

“This is it.”

Qiu Yaokang stepped forward and pressed a few buttons on the machine.

“Buzz…”

The hatch of the cultivation pod with the instrument outside slowly opened in front of Fang Heng and the other man.

Qiu Yaokang gave Fang Heng a look.

Fang Heng understood and controlled the zombie clone behind him to stagger into the cultivation pod.

Qiu Yaokang held a notebook in his hand and waved at the monitor behind him. He said, “The experiment begins.”

“Crack!”

Two seconds later, the cultivation pod suddenly closed in front of the two of them.

“Gulp, gulp, gulp…”

The light black liquid quickly poured into the cultivation chamber and quickly filled the entire chamber.

The zombie clone stayed in the cultivation pod quietly until its entire body was submerged in the black liquid.

Qiu Yaokang leaned his head close to the alloy glass of the cabin door, observing the zombie’s condition.

“Alright, release the simulator.”

“Kaka…”

Mechanical arms descended from the top of the cultivation pod. They held a small fragment in their hands.

The small fragment slowly descended until it sank into the black liquid.

“Gulp, gulp, gulp…”

A series of bubbles rose up in the cultivation pod.

The game prompt appeared on Fang Heng’s retina.

[Hint: Your zombie clone has been detected to be modified.]

[Hint: Judging… The player’s current level has been raised to Level 30. The player has met the current zombie clone-original devouring body modification requirements.]

[Hint: Judgment in progress…]

[Hint: The current modification requires 5,000,000 survival points (per person). Tier 1 mutant crystal*100. The modification will last for 48 hours. The player can use additional survival points to speed up the modification.]

When Fang Heng saw the game notification, his heart skipped a beat.

The evolution of the original devouring body actually required the consumption of mutant crystals!

So expensive!

It was expensive, but it was undoubtedly good news!

This meant that in the game’s internal evaluation system, the original devouring body was already a high-level game creature!

Fortunately, he still had some Tier 1 mutant crystals left after leveling up this morning.

Fang Heng thought to himself, “Evolution! Acceleration of evolution! Speed up to the maximum!”

[Hint: The player has consumed 10,000,000 survival points. Tier 1 mutant crystal*100 has been used to modify the original devouring body state. The player has consumed an additional 15,000,000 survival points to shorten the evolution time.]

[Hint: Current remaining modification time: 5 hours].

[Hint: Affected by the player’s additional effect of the talent skill, efficient evolution, the player can consume energy to increase the speed of zombie evolution.]

Fang Heng thought to himself again, “Consume energy points and accelerate again! Full!”

Qiu Yaokang was staring at the various values on the indicator. He was surprised to see the rapid fluctuation of the index. Then, he looked up at Fang Heng beside him.

He knew that Fang Heng was using his special ability to speed up the transformation.

Suddenly, Qiu Yaokang felt that something was wrong. He raised his eyebrows and quickly pressed a few buttons on the instrument.
