"Judging from his current condition, it seems that the drug caused his body to fuse with the purple tentacles, achieving a non-rejection effect. Moreover, he has retained human characteristics, so he has his own thoughts and can act. However, he himself does not seem to be aware of the changes he has undergone."
Zero said slowly.
"Should we tell him?"
Ye Hao seemed a little distracted.
"No, I need to keep it from him for now. I need to know what will happen next, including its transmissibility, the possibility of secondary mutations, and whether it can be isolated, etc."
Zero shook his head.
"Then...wouldn't it be dangerous to just leave it like this...?"
"What I mean is, as you know, I'm the team leader. With so many people here, I'm responsible for everyone's safety."
Ye Hao explained.
"It's alright. Call Ah Hu over later, and I'll stick this on him so I can monitor his vital signs and suppress any mutations at any time."
Zero took out a light membrane from his spatial storage and spoke to Ye Hao.
"You... you seem different from the people here. You seem to have many things that we don't have. Also, I don't even know your name."
Ye Hao hesitated for a moment before finally asking.
He had been curious about why someone would suddenly come to their base and help them fight against the mutated species, so he had kept a watchful eye on things.
However, it seems that if they were enemies, given their powerful abilities, eliminating them would be a matter of minutes, so it appears he was overthinking it.
Did you finally ask?
Zero smiled to himself.
He thought he could hold back from asking.
So be it.
Zero smiled and said:
"Captain Ye Hao, to be honest with you, I'm not from this world. I come from another place, and my abilities are common to people from that place. But you can rest assured, I won't harm you. I'm here to help you. As for my name, you can call me Zero."
Seeing Ye Hao's somewhat blank expression, Zero gave him a moment to recover.
"Alright, Captain Ye Hao, please call Ah Hu over."
Zero interrupted his daze, fiddling with the light membrane in his hand.
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away."
Ye Hao snapped out of his daze and said somewhat awkwardly.
Before long, Ah Hu came over stiffly. Ye Hao told him some things, and kept winking at Ling in the middle of it.
Zero was completely ignored.
He's starting to get a little curious about Ah Hu...
I'm finding this world increasingly wondrous. First came the multi-legged lizard, then the giant lizard, and now there are purple tentacles. Who knows what else might follow?
However, judging from this, the mutated species in this place may be more serious than he imagined.
Ye Hao had finished his conversation with Ah Hu and hurriedly walked towards Zero, asking with some concern:
"Um, you didn't forget to put on that thing, did you?"
Zero shook his head.
As soon as Ah Hu arrived here, he remotely attached the light film to Ah Hu's skin.
Ye Hao let out a breath.
"By the way, where is your lab? I'd like to borrow it for a bit."
Ling said to Ye Hao.
Even though he already knew that it was Ah Hu parasitized by the purple tentacles, he was still a little uneasy and he still needed to study the composition of this thing.
...
Underground, in a laboratory.
Zero retrieved the purple tentacle he had captured from the isolation chamber. Perhaps because it was isolated from the air, the tentacle did not react at all, as if it had lost its vitality.
Just in case, Zero took out a detector from space and only began research after confirming that it had lost its activity.
He has all the research equipment. The reason he came to the lab was twofold: firstly, he needed a quiet environment, and secondly, he wanted to hide some of his personal belongings.
Although Zero knew that even if the people here saw it, it wouldn't matter, as they couldn't use it without his instructions.
However, to avoid unnecessary conflicts, let's conduct the research in the laboratory.
The study of tentacles mainly involves extracting tissue, separating the cell sap and cell walls, then adding ALI active solution (a culture medium that can restore cell activity) to a culture dish, observing the state using a polymer microscope, and then recording the data.
Zero, engrossed in his research, did not notice that the tentacle had twitched after the sample was taken.
