Chapter 033 Chapter 33 Evolution
The simulated sky of the base changes completely according to the weather conditions outside the base.
As the sky gradually darkened, it was as if a piece of black velvet was covering the entire base. The stars shone like tiny diamonds dotted among them. The moon hung high in the sky, guarded by many stars. The silvery moonlight was bright and soft, adding a touch of mystery and tranquility to the entire night sky.
However, no one appreciates such a beautiful night sky.
The base at night was as silent as a dormant beast, and the silence was frightening.
Below this silent base, the research institute is brightly lit, and researchers in protective suits are hurrying back and forth.
Wei Xunyi accompanied the leader to put on protective clothing, and under the guidance of the assistant to the director of the institute, Qiong Jing, they quickly arrived at the office of the director Jiang Fusheng.
The office door opened and there was no one inside.
Qiong Jing said respectfully, "Big Leader, Secretary Wei, please take a seat first. The courtyard is still in the laboratory. I will go over and inform the courtyard right away."
The big boss nodded and sat down on the sofa in the office. "Go ahead."
Jiang Fusheng's office is connected to his exclusive laboratory. Qiong Jing walked over and had his face, pupils and fingerprints identified before he went in.
He closed the door behind him, opened another door, and then entered the laboratory.
Under the bright light, a thin young man is recording experimental data.
"Dean." Qiong Jing stood not far away and reminded in a low voice.
The young man was writing data at a furious pace, not stopping. After finishing, he put away his pen, closed the notebook, and looked up. "The big boss is here?"
Qiong Jing nodded: "Yes, I'm already waiting outside."
Jiang Fusheng nodded, walked over, picked up the other two notebooks and walked out.
Qiong Jing followed closely behind.
Back in the office, Jiang Fusheng walked over and sat down across from the senior leader. "Leader, regarding this premature outbreak of the beast tide, judging from the collected air testing and the hormones emitted by the mutant beasts in the air, there is indeed a significant difference from previous outbreaks."
"I had people collect air samples inside the base, outside the base, between the base and the jungle, and at the edge of the jungle for comparison."
"Compared to the filtered air inside the base, the air outside the base contains an unknown component, and the closer you get to the dense forest, the higher the concentration of this component becomes."
"At present, it seems that this ingredient has no effect on the human body, but I did an experiment using mice." Jiang Fusheng gestured to Qiong Jing.
Qiong Jing nodded, quickly brought a laptop and opened a video.
Front rat, this is a rare and non-aggressive mutant animal.
It is about one meter tall in combat, with purple-black fur all over its body and long, sharp claws. Because it is a herbivore, it does not have fangs in its mouth, but flat teeth similar to human teeth.
Therefore, the only weapon of attack of the front rat is its sharp claws.
But the fore-rat is a very lazy mutant animal. It often curls up in one place and does not move. When it is hungry, it gnaws on the surrounding grass and trees. It will not move its body at all until all the surrounding grass and trees are eaten up.
Only when it encounters danger will it move its claws and dig a hole to bury itself.
Usually this pit is not very deep, so the former rats are often hunted by other mutant animals.
Even the base captured a group of rats and raised them as experimental guinea pigs. These creatures are really easy to raise. As long as you feed them, they won't even bother to move or resist even if you step on them.
Therefore, the former mouse became the most popular guinea pig among the researchers in the base.
This time, Jiang Fusheng also conducted experiments using mice.
A huge, fat, round black rat was locked in a sealed transparent container with many non-aggressive mutant plants. It lay there lazily, wondering if it would bite the plants around it.
At this time, a researcher injected air collected from the edge of the jungle into the container.
These gases are absorbed by the rat during breathing.
Every once in a while, a researcher would come to inject air and record the data, but at the beginning, the mice did not change at all. They would sleep after eating and eat again after waking up as usual.
But gradually, the time the mice slept decreased and the time they were awake increased.
The shiny hair on its body gradually changed. Each hair became thicker and thicker over time, and the black tips turned white little by little.
The former mouse was a little anxious in the container at first, rolling around on the ground, then slowly stood up and walked around inside, its originally dark eyes slightly red.
Afterwards, the front mouse opened its mouth and let out an impatient roar, and began to scratch the transparent container with its claws, as if trying to get out.
When it opened its mouth and howled angrily, you could see that its originally flat teeth had changed, becoming longer and sharper.
After a while, the front rat's hair became thicker, and it lost its previous laziness and docility. It became very irritable. Seeing that its claws could not open the container that trapped it, it began to gnaw at it with its newly grown fangs. After failing, the front rat arched its back, and its hair began to tremble. The next moment, those hairs with white tips shot out in all directions like sharp arrows, and pierced the wall of the transparent container with a thud.
The transparent container that holds the front mouse is made of a variety of minerals and gel contained in high-level mutant plants. It is very solid and strong and can trap most mutant animals and plants.
According to the attack power of the former rat, even if it scratched with all its strength, it would not be able to leave even a scratch on it.
But now, although its hair did not penetrate the wall of the container, it had already stuck to it.
As the video played, the leader's expression became more and more gloomy and solemn.
"Mutated animals, are they evolving again?"
Jiang Fusheng nodded solemnly. "It seems that the extra components in the air can promote the evolution of mutant animals. After that, I injected anesthesia into this former rat and extracted its flesh and blood. I found that its skin and flesh are thicker, its defense is higher, and the amount of cold poison in its body has doubled."
For a moment, everyone in the office was silent.
Jiang Fusheng looked at the leader, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Leader, I think it's time to consider the deputy leader's previous proposal."
The big boss said nothing and sat on the sofa motionless, as if he had become a stone statue.
The deputy leader submitted a proposal to expand the emotional training for special teams to the entire base.
After all, it has been proven that people who have undergone training are more emotionally stable, more obedient to orders, less afraid of life and death, and more likely to break through their limits and achieve higher strength.
At the beginning, Jiang Fusheng did not agree with this proposal, because it required a person to go against his nature and suppress his emotions to become a humanoid robot. The training content was so cruel that many people could not persist.
There were even some who were driven crazy by the brutal training during the training period.
Therefore, only those who have become special squad reservists are eligible to participate in emotional training, which is actually the first screening. But even so, only one or two out of ten special squad reservists who participate in emotional training can pass the training every year.
Some of those who failed died, some became mentally ill, and some returned to the outbound team in good mental condition despite failing the test.
The leader took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the pent-up air in his chest. "The matter of the beast's evolution must be kept strictly confidential. It must not be leaked."
Jiang Fusheng frowned when he heard this, "Big Leader..."
The leader raised his hand to stop him. "I know the situation is serious, but I still want to struggle. Perhaps we now have new hope."
Jiang Fusheng paused. "You mean, that An Yiqing? Although I don't know the specific situation, even if food can improve people's happiness and give them hope and motivation to live, it can't make them improve their strength."
"Master, once the mutant beasts evolve further, their range of activity will most likely leave the dense forest. Therefore, I believe we should hold a meeting immediately to find a way to further enhance everyone's strength."
They say they are trying to find a solution, but in fact, the average combat effectiveness of everyone in the base has reached its limit, and only the special team members can break through the limit.
The leader looked at Jiang Fusheng and said, "Don't get excited. I won't joke with the entire base, nor will I use them as bets. I came here this time to let you do a test experiment."
Jiang Fusheng frowned, but the person before him was his respected leader. Although he didn't think there was any better solution at the moment, he still suppressed his emotions and said, "You say."
"I guess you still remember Muchen from a few years ago." The leader looked at Jiang Fusheng.
Muchen is very capable and highly regarded, so leaders like him pay close attention to him. However, he failed the most critical emotional training.
Because of the regret, the leader still remembers this name.
Speaking of Muchen, Jiang Fusheng was stunned. He was very familiar with this name because he often heard the senior leader mention this person at that time and he admired this person very much.
Later, Mu Chen failed the training and returned to the field team, so they naturally stopped paying attention to him.
However, Jiang Fusheng still remembered that Mu Chen failed the training. Although his mental condition was not particularly bad, there were already some problems.
Jiang Fusheng didn't know why the leader would mention Muchen at this time, but he nodded anyway, "I still remember. How is he doing now?"
The big boss looked at Wei Xunyi beside him.
Wei Xunyi nodded and stepped forward. "This morning, Mu Chen went berserk in Area C and lost his mind. After being restrained, he ate the braised eggs that An Yiqing brought out. He then regained control of his emotions. After he fainted from exhaustion, he was sent to the hospital and regained his sanity after waking up."
"His mental state, which was originally at the critical level, has improved slightly..."
The more Jiang Fusheng listened, the tighter his brows furrowed, but he still listened to Wei Xunyi finish his words.
He looked at the big boss and said, "The boss is hope. Can I use An Yiqing's food to conduct experiments?"
The leader nodded. "Although Muchen's mental state and mental state haven't yet returned to a safe level, his sanity has returned, and after half a day of recuperation, his body has basically recovered. Before coming here, Wei Xunyi took him for a test, and his strength has further improved."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Fusheng looked at the leader in astonishment, "Further breakthrough?"
The leader nodded. "Of course, we can't confirm whether this is an isolated case right now, so I need you to conduct an experiment. Tomorrow I'll have Xiao Wei bring someone who is willing to be a test subject."
