C77 Gene oscillation
At noon, Viktor made himself a simple hamburger using bread and lunch. The clinic opened again, and Viktor's life returned to its original trajectory. The only difference was that the clinic was a little deserted, because it was missing the figure of his wife, Kailin.
Kailin's corpse had already been cremated by Viktor and his ashes were buried in a tomb that was located right beside the sea in Raging Reef City. The only one who came to mourn was Maester, but Viktor was already surprised. After all, in this era, many people did not care much about death, especially people like Maester who had their hands stained with blood.
Right now, Viktor was wearing two rings. One was his, while the other was Kailin's. Looking at the ring that Kailin had left him, it was as if he could feel that his wife was accompanying him in another way.
When he carefully stuffed the last crumbs into his mouth, Viktor saw zero. heavy locomotive almost directly rushed over, causing the residents on the street to curse him angrily. However, the stench of blood on Zero did not allow them to get close, and when Zero got off the locomotive, Viktor saw that he was still carrying Leah.
"Heavens, he really did it. Viktor immediately ran out of the clinic, but saw that Leah did not react, and his heart sank.
With his back facing Leah, Su Ling urgently entered the clinic and said to Viktor: "Quickly save her …"
Before he could finish his words, Ling Tian's face changed. Following that, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his physical strength seemed to have been completely sucked out in an instant as Zero fell to the ground. Leah's body rolled two times as well. As for Zero, he was already frothing at the mouth and his body was convulsing nonstop.
Victor didn't bother to look at Leah. He quickly stuffed the cat into Zero's mouth to keep him from biting his tongue. He tried to lift Zero, but the moment he touched his body, he felt an astonishing heat coming from his fingertips. A sudden high fever was not a good thing. In Victor's memory, only after experiencing a genetic shock or a genetic collapse would the body suddenly react with a high heat. However, Victor did not know which situation Zero was in.
When he regained consciousness, it was already two days later.
While he was unconscious, he had that dream again. Just like in his dream while he was sleeping within the hibernation chamber, the beautiful woman's figure in his dream always swayed before his eyes. But at the very end of his dream, he saw Leah's figure covered in blood.
When Zero woke up, what he saw was Viktor's messy room and the layer of light outside the window that was dyed red by the sunset.
He jumped out of bed and found himself in better shape than he had ever been. Not only had he fully recovered from his injuries, after fighting with Solon this time, he had gained another five evolution points. Adding on the three previous evolution points he had obtained, he now had a total of eight evolution points.
It was impossible to get so many evolution points just by battling Solon. Zero could guess that it probably had something to do with him entering that crazy state.
In addition, he felt another ability being automatically generated. When he extended the tentacle of his consciousness to lightly push this ability, he suddenly felt a heat in his palm, and a ball of orange flames rose from it. Although his palm was wrapped in flames, Zero did not feel the heat, as if the flames were a part of his body.
"Hmm, since when did you also begin to play with the element domain, and it's even the Fire Essence Su that is famous for its destructive power." Viktor said in surprise when he saw the flame in Su Ming's hand. The doctor's face was extremely tired, as if he had not slept for a few days.
Seeing Viktor, Zero thought of Leah. With a wave of his hand, he extinguished the flames, and anxiously asked: "How is Leah's situation?"
"Not good, but you're not much better." Viktor asked in a serious tone: "Answer me first, how many times have you suffered a genetic shock?"
"Gene shock?" Su Yun looked at Viktor, puzzled.
"It can't be, you don't know about the gene oscillation?" Viktor scratched his head and looked at Zero as if he was looking at a monster.
The so-called gene oscillation refers to the phenomenon of large-scale gene movement in organisms. Gene recombination, alignment, in which they release extra space to allow organisms to form special abilities. This was how Adepts came to be. It could be said that every Adept had gone through the process of genetic oscillation. If the process didn't cause the genes to collapse, then a new Adept would be born.
After becoming an Adept, the genes within the body would be fixed. To develop a new ability, one had to rely on the point of evolution. However, it was impossible for Adepts to experience a second oscillation.
However, nothing in this world was absolute. In the world, Adepts and other creatures living in the wild also had secondary or multiple oscillations. As long as these individuals survived, every genetic shock meant rebirth to them. Not only would the various Basic Competencies have a qualitative increase, it would also develop a new and very strong ability.
However, according to the available data, no more than a hundred individuals in the world survived the second oscillation. As for the third oscillation, it is even rarer.
After Viktor confirmed the zero situation, it was confirmed that there was a genetic shock. Combined with the fact that Zero was already a Power User, Viktor believed that this would be the second time his genes were shaken. However, the doctor never thought that Zero would cause him to be so stunned.
In fact, this is not a second oscillation of zero. To him, this was only the first gene shock.
The reason he'd been able to become an Adept had nothing to do with the vibrations in his body. It was just as he'd guessed, that his body had been completely transformed. There was something strange in his body that allowed him to bypass the first shock wave and gain his Discipline. It was only until today, when Leah had kissed himself, that it was unknowingly the first time he felt such shock.
After Viktor explained what a genetic oscillation was, and what secondary or even secondary vibrations could bring about? After sensing it carefully, he discovered that it was exactly as Viktor had said. His various basic attributes had increased quite a bit, and his original various abilities had automatically levelled up to first rank.
But what Zero cared more about was obviously Leah's situation. It was just as Viktor had said, Leah's situation was indeed very dire.
Hans's blood also allowed Leah's body to show the ability to self-heal. It was this ability that slowly healed the surface of her wounds, which was also the basis of's judgement that she would still be able to be saved. However, after Viktor's diagnosis, the one that was brought back here by Su Yun was actually already dead. It was just that her body was still alive.
This was an extremely hard to explain phenomenon. Leah's current survival characteristic was only in her flesh healing and regeneration, but the organs in her body had already stopped working. Viktor explained that this was the result of her incomplete conversion, and now that Leah had died, the flesh and blood that had regenerated from her wound had become quite a few extra tissues without the control of her consciousness.
The speed at which these tissues were growing had slowed down until today and gradually stopped. That was because the nourishment in Leah's body had all been used up.
When he looked through the tempered glass at Leah, who was covered in an additional ball of tissue, he was both furious and sad.
"However, it's not impossible to save her."
"You have a way?" Hearing Viktor's words, Zero's eyes lit up.
Viktor spread out his hands and said, "Listen, this isn't necessarily a 100% success rate. However, your wife, due to the invasion of some kind of cell, the activity of the blood cells in her body is very high. I have already extracted three tubes of blood like this. If the conditions allow, I can extract enough genetic information from these blood to clone the other Leah for you. "
"Cloning? You mean clone technology? " In the old days, this was not a foreign word. But in the limited memories, the cloning techniques of the old era were not widely used in humans. He never thought that after Cataclysm Day, this technique would develop and develop.
Viktor nodded: "That's right, clone. This technique was now very well-developed, and many nobles would use it to maintain their own lives. However, although it was rare to see a complete clone in vivo, it was not impossible to do so. However, I do not have the necessary equipment here. Of course, it seems like you do not have the funds to start this technology. "
Zero took a deep breath and asked, "According to your calculations, how much money would be needed to carry out this project?"
"I can't do it alone. At the very least, I'll need the help of experts in human body structure and genetics. In addition, I'll also need the money to buy equipment and materials. The most conservative estimate is that it will cost around ten million. " Viktor laughed, the doctor did not think that this number was affordable.
"What if we deduct the equipment and materials?" Zero asked seriously.
Viktor immediately gave an answer: "That would require at least eight million, but the fact is, the equipment and materials are trivial, what we need more is just experiments. Before we completely clone Leah, there should be a lot of failed products, these are the ones that eat money. "
"I understand, how long can Leah's blood sustain activity for?"
"Three years, probably." Viktor calculated with his fingers.
Three years, at least eight million yuan. Of course, start-up funds don't have to be so fast, but at least half of that amount should be used as a basic guarantee for the operation of the project. Now, Zero had less than ten thousand in his credit card.
Looking at the serious expression on Lun Yi's face, Viktor frowned and said, "Don't tell me you're planning on making such a huge sum of money within three years?"
"If Kailin also has the possibility of rebirth, I think you will seriously consider all kinds of possibilities like me."
"Well, I admit it. But how are you going to get so much money? "
"I don't know." "However, I think we should find someone to borrow some money first."
"Who would be so generous?" Viktor did not believe that there was anyone willing to lend him zero.
"They can't do that." "Do you know of any way to obtain information about the Parkland's valve?"
Viktor had also heard of this large company: "I heard that they are located in the north of their headquarters. But for specific information, I think Maester would sell it."
Zero nodded. Solon's figure swept past his mind.
North? Even if you are on the other side of the world, I will still find you!
