Just after Zero placed the petri dish into the small observation room in the space, the purple tentacles that had been sitting quietly on the experimental table suddenly burst open, releasing a liquid that, along with a nauseating odor, continuously stimulated Zero's olfactory nerves.
Zero, suppressing his nausea, went forward to check.
But the tentacles had become fragmented, somewhat like silt, but even more foul-smelling.
The lab bench was covered in liquid splattered from the burst tentacles. It wasn't exactly liquid; it was a viscous substance that made you not want to look at it a second time.
Without much thought, Zero took out the cleaning device from the space.
This is a technology similar to a vacuum cleaner, except that a vacuum cleaner can only pick up some dust and small particles, while a cleaning device can clean up large-scale waste and garbage. After being absorbed, it is compressed again inside the device and discharged to a space cleaning station, which is both efficient and environmentally friendly.
After cleaning, the cleaning equipment was retrieved. The team left the laboratory.
...
"Lord Zero, what are the research results?"
When Ye Hao saw Ling come out, he quickly asked.
Ling realized that Ye Hao had been waiting there ever since he entered the lab, both to prevent others from disturbing him and to be the first to know the research results.
"The samples have been collected and cultured, but we still need to observe them."
Zero took off his gloves and threw them into the trash can.
"Alright, alright, then Lord Zero, would you mind staying here with us? Don't worry, we will absolutely not disturb you, and you will have absolutely private personal space."
Ye Hao requested.
"Alright."
Zero would have originally asked Ye Hao to stay permanently, but now that he has taken the initiative, they should accept without hesitation.
Ye Hao prepared a large space for Zero. Although it was underground, it was spacious and bright, which suited his taste perfectly.
After resting for a while, Zero recalled what had just happened in the lab.
Why did the purple tentacles suddenly burst?
Logically, since he had detected that the purple tentacles had already lost their activity, they shouldn't have exploded after being sampled...
But then it exploded.
Because of the disgusting smell, Zero didn't investigate it before, and left the lab after cleaning it up. Looking back now, it seems strange.
I wonder how the samples in the petri dishes in the observation room are doing.
Thinking of this, Zero opened the space and saw the situation in the petri dish in the observation room—
The sample infused with ALI active solution surprisingly developed the rudiments of purple tentacles. However, unlike others, this one seemed to have a main body and split into five branches, each with thousands of tube feet. The overall shape somewhat resembled a starfish, but the way it split…
There is a type of starfish in the ocean whose severed arms can become a new starfish, and so on, endlessly being cut and growing...
If this fission is like that of a starfish, then the speed of this splitting... is unimaginable.
It's important to understand that the cut-off sample only contained some tissue and cellular fluid from the original tentacle. After adding ALI active solution, it not only began to grow but also produced new mutations!
If the mutation continues, it may continue to divide and grow.
If it's a benign mutation, that's fine, but if it's a malignant mutation... the consequences would be unimaginable.
Fortunately, it was conducted in an observation room; if it were made public, I can't even imagine...
Zero thought of Ah Hu's parasitism again. It seemed that a new type of mutation had occurred there, which allowed Ah Hu to live like a human.
He was becoming increasingly curious about the purple tentacles.
I wonder if it will bring him any surprises; hopefully, it won't be a shock.
