#2798 - New Discovery

Seven days later.

The Dead World.

Above the greyish-white bone wasteland, flocks of Stygian crows swept past towering bone trees.

Fang Heng sat cross-legged before the altar, his wrinkled eyelids suddenly opening, a dark glimmer floating in his turbid pupils.

"Huff..."

With a breath of stale air, Fang Heng's withered skin cracked inch by inch as if molting.

Jade-like luster emerged from the cracks, and his silver-white hair turned to ink black at a visible speed.

As the last piece of dead skin fluttered to dust, Fang Heng had returned to the appearance of a twenty-year-old youth, his eyes regaining their agility.

"It's done."

Fang Heng spread out his palm, staring at the Netherworld Soul Fire leaping in his palm.

The flame was no longer as restless as it used to be, but as docile as water, entwining around his fingers.

After seven days of sitting in silence, the aura of the dead had completely integrated into his meridians. At this moment, every pore was breathing out pure nether energy, and the blood-colored crystal deep within the Soul Fire became even more translucent.

Although there were no obvious game prompts, Fang Heng already felt that his strength had increased by 30% compared to before the retreat.

[Hint: The Vampire Apocalypse has completed the reincarnation channel].

[Hint: The player's current world will guide and attract lost souls into the reincarnation channel].

[Hint: The player's Lake of the Underworld has been replenished with energy].

[Hint: The player's current task two - the missing puzzle has been completed].

"Oh? It's done?"

Fang Heng withdrew his gaze from the game prompt, a hint of surprise on his face.

As he expected!

The Divine Realm relies on the power of faith to slowly improve.

And the Dead World relies on the soul power released by the Soul Orb.

Finally, he was right. The Dead World Orb was the missing piece of the puzzle for the complete advancement of the Divine Grade Necromancer.

As for the next step.

Unify the Dead World and gain the approval of the Nether Race.

Fang Heng stood up, gently rubbed his wrist, and walked out of the underground cultivation room.

"It's a bit difficult..."

Fang Heng murmured to himself, opened a teleportation scroll, and returned directly to the Zombie Apocalypse.

With a flash of light, Fang Heng appeared in the teleportation hall of the Zombie Apocalypse.

"Boss Fang."

At the entrance of the teleportation hall, two guards nodded to Fang Heng in unison.

"Hmm? Have you been waiting here all this time?"

"Yes, Boss Fang, Supervisor Qiu said there was a major discovery and asked us to wait here 24 hours a day," the guard nodded, "Supervisor Qiu said that when you finish your seclusion, we should take you there immediately."

Fang Heng was helpless.

In the entire research institute, Qiu Yaokang was the only one who dared to say he would take him there.

It seemed that he was going to promote the potion in the laboratory.

"Lead the way."

Fang Heng thought that there might be clues about the insect cocoon he had given to Qiu Yaokang for research earlier, agreed, and followed him to the laboratory to meet with Qiu Yaokang.

...

Inside the large research institute.

Qiu Yaokang was conducting data discussions with a group of researchers. Through the glass door, he saw Fang Heng entering the research institute, raised his hand to interrupt the meeting, and instructed his subordinates to send some information to him.

Fang Heng pushed the door open and entered, "How is it? What major discovery made you rush me over here?"

"Well, there are some. Let me explain step by step."

Qiu Yaokang nodded, "First is the Licker transformation plan. These days, after transformation, coupled with sufficient energy and point supply, all zombie bodies have completed the Licker transformation. The Prototype transformation has been completed according to the plan with 1,000 transformations, and the remaining 36.3 million Lord God points are reserved for emergency use."

"Well done!"

Fang Heng gave Qiu Yaokang a thumbs up.

"The second is about the insect cocoon specimen you gave me earlier. We conducted genetic research on it and found that it is related to the virus in your body. It is a fission of another source of the virus."

Qiu Yaokang touched his chin and continued, "I couldn't contact you these days. Considering that the specimen body may have a powerful transformation effect on the form of the zombie body, which can greatly improve the ability of the zombie body, I carried out subsequent research and development in advance."

"Tell me the conclusion. From the current experimental results, the specimen body is a gene-altering substance."

Fang Heng was a little confused when he heard this and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Polymorphism, able to fuse multiple forces of different attributes at the same time."

Qiu Yaokang looked at Fang Heng, "The virus in your body is a fusion of zombie power, and only mutated zombies and homologous power can be amplified and acquired. For example, in the past, you could transform zombies into Lickers, transform them into Prototypes of homologous power to give them the power of rebirth, but you couldn't fuse other viruses."

"But with this insect cocoon, another attached virus effect can exist in your zombie body at the same time."

As Qiu Yaokang was speaking, a staff member outside the research room pushed the door open, holding a metal tray in his hand.

"Supervisor Qiu, Boss Fang."

The staff member greeted, nodded to Qiu Yaokang and Fang Heng, brought the tray up, and came to Qiu Yaokang.

Qiu Yaokang looked at the injection on the tray and nodded to Fang Heng, "I took the liberty of making the corresponding potion. Preliminary theoretical experiments have been passed, but you know, we lack physical testing, so I can only let you try it yourself."

"What do you mean? I'm going to be a guinea pig?"

"Theoretically, there will be no problems. Considering your special physique, we made it relatively rough and didn't remove many of the negative effects. Anyway, it won't affect you. In my judgment, the worst case is that you have to lie in bed and rest for a day or two."

Ji Xiaobo was also nearby, and couldn't help shrinking his neck when he heard Qiu Yaokang's words.

Good fellow, even Brother Fang's physique has to lie in bed for two days, if it were someone else, wouldn't they die on the spot with blood flowing from their seven orifices?

"Okay."

Fang Heng shrugged and picked up the syringe.

Since Qiu Yaokang said there was no problem, then there must be no problem.

[Hint: Player has discovered item - Unknown Injection].

Fang Heng rolled up his sleeve and directly injected the intravenous injection.

[Hint: Player has entered a state of internal bleeding. Player's 'Undying Body' effect is activated. Player's state of internal bleeding is repaired].

[Hint: Player's current adaptability has been changed].

[Hint: Player is affected by a mixed unknown toxin effect. Player's health is reduced by 12,923 points. Player's 'Undying Body' effect is activated. Player's state of internal bleeding is repaired].

[Hint: Player's physique is higher than 800 points. Player is immune to 27 kinds of low and medium-level toxin effects].

[Hint: Player is currently in a state of partial will confusion. Player's current will attribute is higher than 300. Player is exempt from this state].

Fang Heng glanced at the game prompts and warnings constantly floating on his retina, and glanced at Qiu Yaokang out of the corner of his eye.

You bastard.

I'm afraid the poison carefully made by others is not as poisonous as yours, right?
