Chapter 92: Chase me, I’m about to take off!
Wow!
Annie, who was originally sitting and operating the robotic arm, immediately stood up and put her face close to the glass.
George and Yoko Suzuki on the side also became interested. They left Murphys' body and came to the observation room.
Yang Ren also gently held Claire's cold hand, his expression gradually becoming solemn.
The mice in the observation room began to show the plant-like appearance unique to the Veronica virus all over their bodies.
First, all the fur burned away, and then the skin was covered with a layer of light green plant-like epidermis.
Then, its body size increased, its eyes turned red, its claws grew, and its teeth became thicker, longer, and sharper.
From time to time, orange-yellow electric currents surge around the body.
After a while, the little white mouse calmed down and looked at the five people outside the glass.
People could no longer see its facial expression after the mutation.
"The NE-γ parasites didn't completely absorb both viruses?"
George and Yoko Suzuki behind them exclaimed at the same time.
Annie immediately went to the computer nearby and began to check the physical data of the mouse.
"There is a weak bioelectric discharge characteristic in the body, and the TG virus absorbed by NE-γ has taken effect..."
"The vital signs are stable... After being destroyed by the Veronica virus, the cells in the body have recovered..."
"The brain wave signal is stable, and he hasn't lost his mind?!"
Annie looked as if she had seen a ghost.
Yang Ren had asked Yani and others to study the NE-γ parasites in his body before.
However, the genetic structure of Plasmodium parasites is much more complex than that of viruses.
The two belong to completely different fields. We can't force them to cross fields to study something they don't understand at all, right?
There is no other way. The research on parasites can only be put on hold temporarily to see if we can catch them later... and hire a few talents in related fields to continue the research.
In the observation room, the mice on the experimental table were released from their restraints.
Having gained its freedom, it immediately began to wander back and forth in the observation room.
It did not show the same strong aggressiveness as the previous white mouse infected with the mutated TG virus.
Instead, just like before being infected with the virus, it was docile but a little panicked, looking curiously at the five large faces outside the glass.
But... the little white mouse with Veronica's mutant characteristics... it is really impossible to treat it as it was before the mutation.
Its size alone is more than twice that of an ordinary mouse.
As soon as Yang Ren had the idea, the little white mouse was still able to extend its tiny NE-γ tentacles.
After NE-γ occupies the host's brain and central nervous system, it absorbs the TG virus.
While the host acquires the corresponding abilities of the TG virus, it still maintains its original form and retains its sanity.
But it will still be controlled by the dominant body.
"Get another one."
Yang Ren turned around and said to Yani.
Soon the third mouse was caught and also infected with NE-γ clone.
The only difference is that this time, the Veronica virus was injected first, followed by the TG virus.
As expected, the result this time was that the little white mouse grew big eyeballs unique to the G virus.
Looking at this comparative experiment, Yang Ren frowned slightly.
This means that NE-γ parasites can only absorb either virus during the embryonic stage.
Once development is complete, any additional viruses that enter the body will no longer be absorbed.
Instead, it will coexist with the host.
What virus NE-γ absorbs during the embryonic period directly determines the host's upper limit of ability.
In other words, Yang Ren can only be a T+NE-γ combination in his life.
Although he could make those infected with NE-γ, such as Darren, become TG+NE-γ infected people.
Or like Steve, become a Veronica + NE-γ infected person.
Even in the later stage, it can be various fusion viruses, even Ouroboros + NE-γ.
But as the dominant body at the top of the ruling chain, I always feel like something is missing.
Just like your subordinates are stronger than you, but they are willing to be your subordinates.
Because everything they have comes from you. Once you betray them, no matter how strong they are, they will suffer a devastating blow.
Although Yang Ren can also inject a bunch of messy viruses into his body and still retain his sanity.
But the consequence of doing so is that every time a virus is injected, corresponding mutation characteristics will appear.
Yang Ren turned his head slightly and glanced at Claire.
What if I become a monster someday?
Will she still love herself like this?
After much deliberation, Yang Ren finally decided not to take the risk.
"Let's get rid of it..."
Following Yang Ren's order, the two little white mice were knocked unconscious at the same time and thrown into the incinerator.
A large amount of flames enveloped their bodies, and the two little white mice were instantly turned into roasted rats.
“Holy shit!!!”
Puff-!
Yang Ren suddenly knelt down on the ground, covering his chest and breathing heavily.
"What’s wrong with you?!"
Claire quickly squatted down and asked with concern.
Yang Ren's eyes were wide open and bloodshot.
As he gasped for breath, his forehead was covered with dense beads of sweat.
"I can...feel their pain...!"
The burning pain all over his body almost made Yang Ren pass out.
Moreover, two rats infected with NE-γ clones were burned at the same time, which was double the pain!
Since there was no towel, Claire quickly found a rag, wet it and helped Yang Ren wipe the sweat off his face.
The cold, wet water stains stuck to the skin, but did nothing to alleviate the burning pain.
Even Yang Ren's clothes were soaked.
After a while, until the two little white mice were burned to ashes, the intense burning sensation gradually dissipated.
Yang Ren stood up with the help of Claire, but he was so weak that he almost fell down again.
Is this... the price of being a dominant being?
First, there is the overdraft of energy caused by the separation of the offspring, and then there is the corresponding pain felt when the offspring dies.
All these restrictions directly blocked his path to mass-producing the NE-γ infected legion.
No wonder in the remake of Resident Evil 4, there is only one dominant entity among the Plaga parasites, Sadler.
Even Sadler's plan to control the world is carried out by ordinary Plaka and purebred Plaka.
If he were to use the same dominant Placa clone, he would be miserable to death due to the mass death of his sub-bodies before the plan even began.
"Alas...what a pity..."
Since there is no way to strengthen it, we can only give up.
"Wait... Chase!"
When he was about to leave with regret, Yang Ren suddenly remembered something.
You can’t inject yourself, but you can give injection to Zhui Zhui!
Anyway, Zhui Zhui is wearing armor, so it doesn’t matter even if his appearance changes.
Poor Zhui Zhui, was watching TV with Darren in the North District of the mother nest when he was caught by Yang Ren and taken to the West District for experiments.
……
Zhui Zhui, who was sitting on the experimental table, had taken off his heavy armor.
The skin all over his body was corroded by the secretions of NE-a parasites, leaving pits and pits, which looked a bit uncomfortable.
With one hand on his knee and the back of the other hand supporting his chin, he looks like the "thinker on the toilet".
After applying some iodine on Zhui Zhui's arm, Yani directly injected a quarter dose of TG virus into Zhui Zhui's body.
They are also afraid that injecting too much will cause unpredictable or drastic changes in Zhuizhui.
One second...two seconds...
Twenty seconds…
"STAAAAA.RS!!!"
A minute later, Zhui Zhui let out the most violent roar Yang Ren had ever heard.
The white airflow spread out with Zhui Zhui as the center, blowing all kinds of objects in the laboratory flying everywhere.
The three great gods and Claire on the side covered their ears and subconsciously took several steps back.
"Keep your voice down! You're scaring my little Claire!"
Yang Ren immediately denounced the NE-a parasite in Zhui Zhui's brain through brain waves.
Zhui Zhui immediately became quiet, feeling aggrieved.
However, the trembling arms and ferocious facial expression could still reveal the pain that Zhui was feeling at the moment.
