Chapter 778 The Consequences of Mutation 8



On the bookshelf, neatly stacked piles of yellowed parchment scrolls and dusty stone tablets lay. Xiao Yi gently picked up a parchment scroll and carefully unfolded it. It was densely written in an ancient, mysterious script. Though the handwriting was a little blurry, the crucial information contained within was still palpable. On the nearby stone table lay several thick books. Opening them, they revealed detailed experimental records. The pages had yellowed and become brittle, the edges severely frayed, but the diagrams and data within were still legible. Some documents featured bizarre depictions of creatures, accompanied by intricate annotations, seemingly describing the research and analysis of unknown organisms. Others documented a series of mysterious experimental procedures, including the formulas and instructions for the use of various chemical reagents. The team members gathered around, their eyes filled with excitement and curiosity. They knew these ancient documents and experimental records might hold the key to unlocking the secrets of the mutant creatures and responding to disasters. However, they also understood that deciphering these ancient and obscure contents would be no easy task.

After painstakingly deciphering ancient documents and experimental records discovered within the ruins, a shocking truth gradually emerged. It turns out that in the distant past, a group of ambitious scientists sought to push the boundaries of nature and master the ultimate code of life. In hidden laboratories, they conducted a series of extremely dangerous and unethical experiments. They attempted to create new species with extraordinary abilities through cutting-edge technologies such as gene editing and biofusion. However, their desire and greed blinded them to the potential risks. During the experiment, a minor misstep lit the fuse. A mutation in a key gene spread rapidly among the test subjects, triggering an uncontrollable chain reaction. The originally designed new species began to mutate wildly, its growth and evolution completely deviating from the intended trajectory. These mutants possessed unimaginable strength and aggression. Unable to be controlled by humans, they turned their wrath against their creators and the world around them. Initially, humans failed to grasp the severity of this catastrophe. By the time the mutants began to spread en masse, wreaking havoc on ecosystems and human society, it was too late. Cities fell, fields lay desolate, and humanity plunged into endless panic and despair. The scientists who instigated all this, some perished in experiments gone awry, while others were devoured by the monsters they had created. This experiment, originally sparked by human arrogance and ignorance, ultimately led to an irreversible disaster, plunging the entire world into a dark abyss.

When Xiao Yi finally pieced together this horrifying truth, it felt like a thunderbolt struck him. Shock surged through him like a surging wave. He stood there, stunned, clutching the document revealing the truth, his eyes wide with disbelief. The faces of those suffering from the mutation disaster, and the homes destroyed beyond recognition, flashed through his mind. He felt a deep anger simmer in his heart, filled with hatred for the scientists who pursued their goals blindly and recklessly. But even beyond this anger was a heavy sense of responsibility and mission. Xiao Yi knew that this discovery was not only a revelation of the past, but also a warning for the future. He knew that such tragedies could not continue to spread, and no more lives could be endangered. The shock was like a hammer, shattering his previous hesitation and confusion. His gaze became resolute, burning with an unyielding fire. He vowed to himself that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles lay ahead, no matter the cost, he would find a solution to this disaster. Even if it meant traveling to the ends of the earth, even if it meant exhausting his last ounce of strength, he would do it. He turned, looked at his equally shocked team members behind him, and shouted, "Friends, we can't let this disaster continue to wreak havoc. We must find a way out, for our world, for our future!" His voice echoed through the ruins, filled with determination and courage, inspiring everyone to follow his footsteps and forge ahead.

As they delved deeper into the ruins, Xiao Yi and his companions seemed to gradually find a glimmer of light amidst the darkness. In a long-forgotten chamber, they discovered a stone wall engraved with symbols and patterns. After careful study and speculation, they were surprised to realize that these symbols seemed to hint at certain weaknesses of the mutants. For example, attacks on specific body parts could cause the mutants to temporarily become paralyzed, or certain environmental factors could weaken their perception. In another corner, a pile of ancient scrolls lay. Though the pages were brittle, their contents held a thrilling promise. The scrolls detailed the effects of natural substances against mutants, including a rare herb whose scent could disrupt the mutants' sense of olfactory tracking, and a special mineral that, when refined and processed, could be made into weapons effective against the mutants' tough outer skin. Continuing their journey, they discovered a lab notebook hidden in a hidden stone box, documenting numerous experimental observations on the mutants. Through these precious records, they learned that mutants' physical strength and defenses tend to decline over specific time periods, undoubtedly providing the perfect opportunity for their attack. Each new discovery was like a key piece in a puzzle, gradually piecing together a complete map for restraining mutants. Hope ignited in the eyes of Xiao Yi and his team members, and they couldn't wait to take this valuable information out to add powerful weapons to the battle against mutants.
