#1798 - Morphological change

"I asked Mo Jiawei to help collect some, and we've currently created a small batch of prototypes. You can take them to use first," Qiu Yaokang said, taking a box filled with vials of medicine from an assistant researcher beside him and handing it to Fang Heng.

"We've already conducted in-vivo experiments, and the effects are very good, but I don't recommend using it on a large scale. Based on our current research on the virus, the virus has a very high self-iteration efficiency. Large-scale use will cause the virus to develop resistance."

So awesome?

They've even developed anti-virus agents?

Qiu Yaokang is a true big shot.

Fang Heng's heart stirred, and he took the medicine box from Qiu Yaokang's hand.

Game prompts flashed quickly on his retina.

[Hint: Player has obtained special medicine *24].

[Item: Anti-Virus Special Medicine (NT-3278)].

Description: A special medicine developed by Qiu Yaokang's team based on the residual simulation of some mental poison gas. After the vial is broken, the liquid medicine can atomize within 3 seconds and diffuse into the air in the surrounding area. The gas will cause extra massive damage to special viruses within the range.

"Finally, regarding the spatial warp, the spatial warp completed by the Void Lurker is related to its own special characteristics. This point cannot be replicated."

Qiu Yaokang said, closing the notebook in his hand, "That's roughly the situation. The preparation time is almost up. Come with me. We'll conduct the next stage of in-vivo testing."

"Okay."

Fang Heng agreed, stuffed the medicine box into his backpack, and hurriedly followed.

...

Soon, Fang Heng and his group entered another large in-vivo laboratory under Qiu Yaokang's lead.

The in-vivo experiment was already prepared.

Qiu Yaokang led a few people to stop in front of a large culture pod.

"Ka..."

The culture pod opened in front of everyone.

Fang Heng controlled a Licker to quickly climb over.

Qiu Yaokang reached out and stopped in front of the culture pod, preventing it, "Don't rush, Fang Heng, take a look at that first."

Fang Heng's gaze shifted to the right side of the culture pod that Qiu Yaokang pointed to.

There was another external protruding glass container on the right side of the culture pod.

The glass container was filled with a dark yellow liquid.

Fang Heng narrowed his eyes and leaned over to observe carefully.

Dark red worms were swimming in the dark yellow liquid.

The worms were extremely small. Unless you got very close and observed carefully, it was extremely difficult to notice.

"I call it the Whisker Worm."

Qiu Yaokang explained, "It's a product of the fusion of the Hella virus and some kind of worm. The Whisker Worm can parasitize under the skin, providing the parasitized body with stronger defense capabilities. In an ideal state, if the worm can be implanted into the zombie's body, then the zombie's defense capabilities can be further improved."

Fang Heng observed the worms, frowning slightly.

The zombie clone's health is already thick, and its defense is already strong enough. Strengthening it further wouldn't be very meaningful.

The key is attack.

"What about the attack aspect?"

Qiu Yaokang glanced at Fang Heng and said, "It will also be greatly improved."

"First, the Whisker Worm can only take effect on modified bodies after death, so it clashes 100% with the Licker. Also, I conducted a fusion test with the Fusion Tyrant, and the Fusion Tyrant has a Worm body inside, which also clashes with the Whisker Worm, so fusion cannot be completed."

"Second, due to the limitations of the zombie body itself, even if it fuses with the ability of the Whisker Worm, I expect that their movement speed and agility will still not improve, and may even decrease slightly."

Fang Heng opened his mouth, listening, "Decrease? Why would it decrease?"

The zombie's movement ability is already weak enough, and it will decrease?

"Yes, I analyzed various zombie forms, and I believe that the Whisker Worm form has the best fusion effect with the Meat Armor form zombie."

"Huh?"

Fang Heng was stunned again.

Meat Armor zombie form?

It's actually a trash form that he almost forgot in the depths of his memory.

Meat Armor Zombie.

A common type of Tier 1 mutated zombie.

Very weak.

Compared to ordinary zombies, Meat Armor zombies have evolved hard, mutated armor on their bodies.

The armor can even completely withstand the damage of small firearms.

For early novice village players, encountering this type of zombie head-on would be a headache.

After all, killing them head-on is a waste of bullets.

And the disadvantage is that the Meat Armor zombie's movement speed is reduced again.

Fang Heng used to think this thing was a pit.

The zombie's movement speed is already slow, and it's even slower after the Meat Armor enhancement.

It's like a living target.

Moreover, his zombie clone already has the Undying Body effect as a base.

This little bit of defense bonus is not enough to see.

"Yes, the Meat Armor form is the most suitable. The conversion rate of other zombies is approximately 0." Qiu Yaokang took an investigation report from a researcher beside him and continued, "In order to test and verify my idea, we need to perform a Meat Armor zombie transformation first."

"Alright."

Fang Heng decided to trust Qiu Yaokang.

Leave professional matters to professionals.

Past experience has shown that listening to Qiu Yaokang is mostly right.

Fang Heng controlled the Licker to quickly form a cocoon on the ground.

"Chi chi... pa!"

A few seconds later, an ordinary form zombie clone stepped out of the cocoon and staggered towards the other side of the culture pod.

Qiu Yaokang waved to the monitor in the corner of the laboratory.

"Ka!"

The culture pod door was remotely controlled and closed with a click.

"Chi, chi chi..."

The inside of the culture pod was quickly injected with blue liquid until it filled the entire culture pod.

Game prompts appeared on Fang Heng's retina.

[Hint: Detected that your zombie clone (ordinary form) is undergoing modification].

[Hint: Judging is in progress...].

[Hint: The current modification requires (per unit) 200 Survival Points, Tier 1 Evolution Crystal *20. The modification will last for 2 hours. The player can consume additional Survival Points to speed up the modification efficiency].

[Hint: The current evolution success rate is 99.2%. Affected by the player's talent skills, the success rate of this evolution is additionally increased by 20%. Do you want to start the evolution?].

Consume points!

Accelerate!

Max out!

[Hint: Player has completed zombie form modification].

[Hint: The current zombie form has changed].

[Hint: Solidifying the current zombie form requires Tier 1 Evolution Crystal *10, Main God Points *20].

"Gurgle gurgle gurgle..."

The liquid inside the culture pod was quickly extracted clean.

The newly cultivated Meat Armor zombie walked out of the culture pod and was displayed in front of everyone.
