Chapter 105 The Gap Between Each Evolution Level
The next day, as soon as they woke up, the three of them went about their own business.
Underground, day and night are indistinguishable, except for the hardworking ordinary survivors who take turns working according to the schedule.
The rest of the people slept whenever they were tired, and their schedules became chaotic...
After getting up, Fatty and Li Shurou went out together to retrieve the supplies.
Han Shuo went directly to Qing Yu's place.
At this moment, Qingyu was sitting in a chair. As soon as she saw Han Shuo come in, she smiled and said.
"You're here?"
"They're here."
"Come walk with me outside."
"good."
Han Shuo followed Qing Yu out of the room. Although the two were more than ten years apart, they didn't have any generation gap when they talked.
As Qingyu walked, she kept explaining the situation to Han Shuo.
As for how Han Shuo and the others got here, Han Shuo didn't say, and Qing Yu didn't ask either.
Xiao Zhao will naturally tell Qingyu all of this last night.
Within an hour, Han Shuo had memorized all the key locations of the underground research institute…
"Kids, what did you guys think about last night? Are you going to form your own team, or join me directly?" Qingyu stopped and got down to business.
"Brother Qingyu, the three of us have reached a consensus and decided to process our free agent status here."
"Huh? This is unexpected. Tell me why?"
Han Shuo's answer clearly surprised Qing Yu. In his opinion, the guard team was definitely the most suitable for them.
"There's no complicated reason, just one thing: all three of us want to control our own lives!" Han Shuo said with a smile.
"Good lads, you guys are really energetic young people!"
This explanation left Qingyu speechless.
"By the way, Brother Qingyu, if you have time, let's discuss the issue of genetic modification in more detail?"
"Haha, I knew you'd ask that. Let's find somewhere secluded first; this isn't the place to talk."
Han Shuo nodded. Since the conversation had come to this point, the issue of the turbid liquid would inevitably be brought up.
It's best if as few people as possible know about things that are enviable.
Soon, Qingyu led Han Shuo to a deserted place.
"Alright, kid, you've got quite a bit of booger on you. I heard from Xiao Zhao that you actually gave that Wang Bahu guy a drop?"
"Yes, there's no other way. Without Wang Bahu, we wouldn't have been able to arrive so smoothly."
"Courageous and resourceful, haha, Wang Bahu has finally been used as a pawn by you this time."
Last night, Qingyu felt very pleased to hear that Wang Bahu had been tricked by Han Shuo.
"Hehe, Captain Qingyu, if you run into Captain Wang, please cooperate secretly. If he finds out I'm lying to him, we'll be in for a rough time."
"Don't worry, didn't you say I'm a seasoned veteran? I understand this little thing." Qingyu gave Han Shuo a meaningful look.
"Damn it, that guy Xiao Zhao actually told him all the bad things I said behind my back."
Han Shuo muttered to himself, feeling speechless and quite embarrassed.
"Alright, don't worry about your disguised guard identities. Changing identities is common here. Enough with the small talk, ask what you want to know." Qingyu waved his hand, completely unconcerned.
"First, how much turbid fluid is needed to become a genetically engineered human?" Han Shuo perked up and got straight to the point.
"4 drops!"
"Four drops! That's so many..."
Han Shuo frowned. No wonder genetically engineered humans are so precious; cultivating one is indeed very costly.
"Sigh, there are indeed quite a few. If you had come back a month earlier, the research institute would still have raw materials, and I could have arranged a spot for you. Unfortunately, all the raw materials are now exhausted. The only way to become a genetically modified human is to kill aliens and use the turbid liquid."
Qingyu sighed.
"Fine, there are still seven drops left, enough for just one person to be modified."
Han Shuo thought to himself, then asked again.
"How many drops are needed for the next evolution? Is it 4 drops each time?"
"Stop joking, if only it were really like that. The first time, 4 drops; the second time, 8 drops; the third time, 16 drops, and so on," Qingyu said helplessly.
"Holy crap?"
Han Shuo couldn't help but swear. Judging from this, Captain Wang is at level 4 evolution, so what he needs is... 60 drops.
You need to kill 60 clawed zombies, or 30 armored zombies, or 12 intelligent zombies...
Han Shuo felt immense pressure. He hadn't expected that becoming a genetically engineered human was just the beginning; the road ahead would be far more difficult than he had imagined.
"So, if we choose to be free, will it affect the genetic modification process?" Han Shuo asked again.
"Don't worry about that. As I said last time, the research institute won't suffer any losses from this free technology. It's just a matter of helping to purify the turbid liquid. If someone here becomes a genetically modified human, it will only benefit everyone, and there will be no harm."
Nodding, Han Shuo stopped thinking about it and continued asking the next questions.
"So, what exactly are the differences between each level of genetically evolved humans?"
"Not bad, you've thought of everything very carefully."
Qingyu gave an approving look and continued to answer his questions.
"Level 1 evolution, a preliminary breakthrough of human limits, mainly reflected in strength and speed, with significant enhancements."
"Level 2 evolution: there will be improvements in vision, smell, hearing, and other senses."
"As for the third-level evolution, well, here's what you do: punch me hard."
As soon as Qingyu finished speaking, Han Shuo decisively and quickly threw a punch, aiming directly at Qingyu's face.
brush--!
Han Shuo only felt his fist hit the air and didn't realize when Qing Yu dodged.
"Good lad, you're ruthless! That's right, Level 3 evolution will greatly enhance your reaction speed!"
Han Shuo withdrew his fist and nodded.
"Level 4 evolution, physical strength is improved. To put it simply, it can withstand the claws of ordinary zombies. They won't scratch you, but their teeth can still bite through you."
At this point, Han Shuo finally understood why Wang's fighting style was much wilder than Qingyu's.
It turns out that he only needs to pay attention to the zombie's teeth and doesn't need to worry about being scratched. With fewer concerns, he naturally becomes more ferocious.
"However, it is said that the research institute has recently made some progress in the field of viral infection and may soon develop an anti-infective agent. At that time, we will no longer have to worry about getting injured."
"real?"
Han Shuo's eyes lit up. This news was an unexpected surprise for him. He was already very strong in combat, but he could not unleash his full potential because he was afraid of getting injured or infected.
If the news is true, then the three of them will definitely be much safer going out from now on.
"It should be true. After all, it's just a virus. With the current level of scientific research, it's quite possible to develop corresponding antibodies."
"And what comes next? What makes humans with Level 5 evolutionary genes special?"
Han Shuo was very interested in this topic.
"You've got some nerve. It's already difficult to become a genetically engineered human these days, and I don't know what will happen after that. But Wang Bahu's brother is the only one here who has reached level 5 evolution."
"It's said that what lies behind might be..."
Qingyu kept everyone in suspense and tapped her head with her hand.
"Head? Could it be the brain?" Han Shuo exclaimed.
"Who knows? Rumors aren't always accurate. You'll probably only know once you reach level 5 evolution and experience it for yourself."
