After his death, Xie Yunsui was bound to the Myriad Worlds Shop and became its proprietor.
The Myriad Worlds Shop had been tragically thrown into a spatiotemporal rift by its previous owner, ...
Weird Invasion 46 He can’t turn back...
Zhou Xingyi was so immersed in his research that he didn't pay attention to the time. It was not until his researcher mentioned it that he knew the voting outside was over.
The researcher consoled him, saying, "Our vote count isn't low either. It's just that everyone is still cautious, so Limbaugh's vote count is higher."
Zhou Xing frowned and said nothing, but walked towards the restricted area where Yang Jun was imprisoned again.
"Yang Jun, are you still not cooperating?"
In the huge, all-white, empty house, there was only a camp bed. Yang Jun was lying on it with an expressionless face. No matter how much Zhou Xing talked, he didn't say anything.
He has been cooperating since he was detained here.
Stretch out your arm for blood draw and stand up for scan.
But he had no desire to communicate, and even when Zhou Xing asked him to use his strange power, he remained motionless.
Only during the weekly routine half-hour phone calls does he come alive, counting the time to call his parents, his girlfriend, and his younger siblings.
Zhou Xing stood outside the penalty area and watched him for half an hour.
The voting will be divided into three rounds, and he can only be considered to have won the game completely if he wins twice.
At the second voting meeting one month later, he must be higher than Lin Sen, otherwise the research will be terminated.
After more than three years, he finally waited for this opportunity, and he couldn't let it go to waste.
"Zhou Xing, if you don't cooperate, then the next half-hour weekly communication time will be cancelled. You will have to stay here and your return time will be uncertain."
Yang Jun finally responded. He sat up with bloodshot eyes and looked at him: "You guys agreed before that as long as I cooperate with the research for a year, you will let me go back."
"But you don't cooperate." Zhou Xing spread his hands.
Yang Jun was faintly angry. "How else can I cooperate? I didn't delay you for a single second, did I? I didn't waste any time drawing blood and scanning."
"You let the weirdness out."
"I told you I don't know how to release it! I don't know how to use weird powers!"
"But you broke through the spiritual handcuffs once when you were arrested. Just do the same as that time."
Yang Jun rushed to the edge of the restricted area, but was stopped by the spiritual power blocking the wall when he touched it. He stared at Zhou Xing and said, "I don't know how to use it. How about you come and teach me yourself?"
Zhou Xing cut off his communication.
Yang Jun endured for two weeks and was almost driven crazy in the all-white and empty space.
The growth of the black grass finally came to an end, and Zhou Xing realized that it seemed like he hadn't seen Xie Yunsui for a long time.
"Boss Xie hasn't come to the Institute of Weird Studies recently?"
"Um, yes, it seems like he hasn't been here since the last voting meeting."
Zhou Xing paused: "What did he vote for?"
“…He’s a conservative,” the researcher replied.
Zhou Xing smiled and shook his head. Xie Yunsui was obviously so strong, but he lacked courage and foresight.
He stopped asking questions and focused on studying the genetic extraction of black grass, while continuing to put pressure on Yang Jun.
Instead of spending time persuading conservatives to accept his theory, it would be better to slap them in the face with real results.
Yang Jun finally couldn't hold on any longer, but he really couldn't control himself and use the strange power. Zhou Xing thought of many ways, only to find that it would only be passively triggered when the other party was full of fear.
He feared his own death and that he would never see his family again.
He locked Yang Jun in a restricted area with other low-level weird things, and soon Yang Jun eliminated those weird things.
An ordinary person who had never received any spiritual teachings, after possessing strange powers, was able to easily eliminate the C-level monster.
He didn't even use talismans or spiritual weapons.
This news inspired radicals outside the country, who spared no effort to publicize it and gain more support.
At the second voting meeting, Zhou Xing narrowly defeated Lin Sen by one vote.
When they met in the Weird Research Institute, Lin Sen's face became increasingly cold and pale.
Zhou Xing brushed past him and said with a smile, "Lin Bo, haven't you seen the reality yet? My theory is correct."
Lin Sen's sharp eyes fell on his proudly raised chin and said, "You will be buried with everyone in the world."
Zhou Xing sneered and didn't waste any more words with him.
The anti-toxic gene of Black Grass was finally extracted, and the next step was to put it into living research. Before the third voting meeting, a little rabbit implanted with the Black Grass gene survived for three days in a restricted area full of poisonous spiders.
Zhou Xing won over Lin Sen by an overwhelming margin.
At this point, conservatives have lost all voice.
Lin Sen's main research direction is to develop spiritual weapons to restrain different types of weirdness. Not only is it time-consuming and labor-intensive, it also costs a lot of money. Now it is completely unnecessary.
Lin Sen never thought that one day he would be able to leave the Institute of Weird Studies. During the week that he was confined in the isolation room, Zhou Xing only visited him once.
Lin Sen left, taking with him more than a dozen researchers who could not agree with Zhou Xing.
Zhou Xing didn't care. He was fully focused on his research. All kinds of animal experiments had been completed, and he submitted a plan to transplant strange genes into humans.
A month later, the Strange Research Institute sent in fifty soldiers who had signed life and death agreements.
The transplantation program was an unprecedented success, or rather, those weird genes were not picky about hosts and they happily accepted the new hosts.
The soldiers themselves have sufficient combat experience, and they are proficient in using both hot and cold weapons. Coupled with the blessing of strange genes, they are unstoppable.
They were assigned to various cities across the country, and one person could match the combat power of an entire team from the Alien Management Bureau.
More and more soldiers are being sent to the Institute of Strange Studies, and their ages are getting younger and younger.
"Zhou Bo, Yang Jun is not feeling well." The researcher brought some really unpleasant news.
Zhou Xing put down the gene extraction instrument in his hand and came to Yang Jun's restricted area. After not seeing him for two months, he almost couldn't recognize that this was Yang Jun.
After frequently using strange powers, he is no longer the ordinary person who needs fear to inspire strength.
He could easily summon strange energy, but his body began to undergo frequent strange changes, such as the unexplained emission of black mist, the twisting and growing of bones, and the strange black substance beginning to wriggle under his skin...
Now Yang Jun's skin inexplicably began to peel off, bit by bit, inch by inch.
It’s like the owner of this body has been using this skin for a long time and feels it is no longer useful and wants to replace it with a new one.
Zhou Xing frowned and told the researcher to keep quiet and not tell anyone about Yang Jun's situation. "I'll start researching Yang Jun's situation. I'll tell his family that he needs to continue cooperating with the research for... one year. Send him more money."
Yang Jun didn't hold on until Zhou Xing figured out the reason, and he completely changed.
His situation was very special. Zhou Xing tried to contact Xie Yunsui, but found that he had been blocked by him.
He sent someone to invite Xie Yunsui to the Institute of Strange Studies, only to find out that Xie Yunsui had left long ago.
"Left? Where to?" Zhou Xing asked.
The researcher said, "I don't know. What I heard is that he felt our country was no longer safe, so he disappeared with his partner."
Zhou Xing didn't say anything for a long time.
The researcher was at a loss and said, "Boss Xie is not from our country. Maybe he returned to his own country? I'll find someone to track Boss Xie's whereabouts..."
"never mind."
Zhou Xing returned to his laboratory and looked at the report on Yang Jun's irreversible mutation data. He felt a rare sense of panic in his heart.
Is he wrong?
So far, a total of 200 soldiers have been transplanted. In the past six months, they have handled 800 strange incidents, and the strange things in the country have been almost eliminated. They are stationed in various cities and can eliminate the strange things in the bud, bringing a new peaceful environment to the people.
The domestic situation is very good, and many foreign countries are spending money and resources to borrow their soldiers.
The country has gained a lot of benefits by mobilizing these soldiers.
Strange incidents abroad are also decreasing in an orderly manner.
This is obviously a happy event...
He reviewed the situation in his mind for three hours and finally determined that Xie Yunsui had lost his supporters, his talismans and magic weapons were no longer selling, and he had gone from being a respected master to an insignificant existence. He could not accept the gap and fled their country.
As for Yang Jun, it was just a failed evolution.
Yang Jun was chosen by the weird self, there was a missing link in the middle, and the weird genes he implanted into the human body were selected through multiple rounds of selection. They are excellent weird genes with stability.
In fact, it was proved that his choice was correct. The soldiers outside did not show any changes, but became stronger and stronger.
A year later, strange events seemed to have ushered in a major outbreak, with more and more strange things appearing and there were not enough soldiers.
"The ratings of the weird things appearing outside are getting higher and higher. There are no C-level weird things anymore, and B-level ones are rare. There are more and more A-level weird things, and there are even more powerful ones than A-level weird things."
"We need to update the weird gene pool."
Students at the Spirit University have been losing ground in several strange incidents, and the number of applicants is decreasing, but the voices for voluntary applications for strange gene transplants are growing louder.
Zhou Xing invested in deeper research, and stronger strange genes were extracted. They were injected into the bodies of new young soldiers, bursting out more powerful energy.
"It seems that there is indeed a certain level of class oppression among the monsters. If everyone were to be injected with S-level monster genes, there would be no need to fear those A-level monsters."
The leadership gave Zhou Xing an order to extract more strange genes as soon as possible.
Zhou Xing felt that transplanting strange genes into ordinary people was uncontrollable. He wanted to find the director of the Abnormal Control Bureau to apply to reject the order, but learned that Director Dai had died suddenly in the office three months ago due to long-term overtime work.
Zhou Xing: “…”
Zhou Xing: "Where's Qingyuan?"
"Half a year ago, he died in a strange field created by an S-level weirdo."
Zhou Xing was distracted and it seemed that there were fewer and fewer familiar people around him.
He himself applied to reject the order, stating that ordinary people did not have the physical fitness to support the control of the strange genes. He also brought out Yang Jun's failure case to show that even ordinary people with a little trace of training were far inferior to well-trained sergeants.
But his application for rejection was rejected, and the leadership replied: Yang Jun is just an individual case, and there are too many factors that led to his failure, not necessarily due to physical fitness.
Besides, no matter how ordinary an ordinary person is, doesn’t he also go through two or three years of practicing martial arts?
The senior leaders who originally supported him have gone from being a solid backer to a huge mountain pressing down on his head.
Zhou Xing locked himself in the laboratory and began silent resistance.
But his resistance was ineffective. The leadership issued a final order: if he did not cooperate, the research on extracting strange genes would be handed over to the researchers under him.
For such a long time, this has not been a research project that Zhou Xing alone is in charge of.
Now that he has come this far, there is no turning back.
