Chapter 249 Deep Sea, Gene Lock (1/2)



Ignoring the fact that the hair fell off, the great victory at the Xinghuo Ancient Recipe Base was indeed an exciting event.

The fact that Chu Han also joined the ranks of evolvers also made the team members happy. A powerful nurse is finally coming!

Leaving aside the sleeping Dr. Chu, the core team members gathered together for a good meal, with hot pot, barbecue and BBQ all taking place on the third floor of the bell tower. A group of people buried their heads in the meal.

Meng Xiaodao's hand has been reattached, and the advanced healing potion is quite effective, but he still needs to rest for a few days before he can fully bear the burden, but it does not affect his eating at all.

As for Qin Xiao, Zhou Feifei was quite worried about his intestines.

"Your hole is really healed, but don't let it leak while you eat, okay?"

Captain Qin was somewhat helpless and could only use his appetite to prove his recovery.

Qin Weishan also joined the dinner. To be honest, you can really eat a lot of good food by eating with the core team. The main reason is that Shi Man and the others have been running around outside, and everyone has a lot of private collections. Qin Weishan also had a feast this time.

Especially when Qin Xiao took out three bottles of Moutai, Qin Weishan's eyes widened and he kept staring at his son.

No...this kind of good stuff, Qin Xiao, this brat, didn't even think about showing his filial piety to his father? Without saying too much, one bottle is enough, right?

Facing his old father's accusing gaze, Qin Xiao remained calm: "Drinking will only cause trouble, so just stop drinking."

Qin Weishan: Good, good, good! He is definitely my biological son!

After eating and drinking, it is natural to talk about business.

Zhuge Yayun also came to this dinner. She returned to the base. After she joined Pure Land, the system also rewarded her with a research institute focusing on genetic research.

Academician Zhang Qiming naturally also has a research institute, but relatively speaking, the corresponding resources at the Pure Land headquarters are more complete, so his research institute is still located there.

Fortunately, the life channel between the two bases has now been completely opened, and because of the "Sparks Spreading Across the Prairie", the defense level of the life channel between the two bases has evolved to SS level.

Therefore, the communication and exchanges between the Pure Land Headquarters and the Xinghuo Ancient Recipe will be safe in the future.

"Boss, this is the latest research data from the laboratory." Zhuge Yayun handed a document to Shi Man.

As for those insect fetuses, the soldiers immediately recovered them after killing them, and then stored them in a capsule backpack, which was strictly sealed in the genetic research warehouse.

Shi Man also preserved the brains of the two insect queens.

Shi Man reluctantly took a look and could only say that she only half understood it. She didn't force herself: "Professor Zhuge, please explain it. My knowledge is limited."

Zhuge Yayun nodded. "To put it simply, we discovered that the original genetic sequence of this brain-hugger likely originated from the prehistoric deep sea."

"Prehistoric deep sea?" This was beyond Shi Man's expectations.

This brain-hugger is not a land animal?

"Yes, its genetic sequence contains a high percentage of arthropod DNA. We compared it with existing gene libraries and conducted several tracing studies, and found that these brain-huggers contain genetic sequences from horseshoe crabs."

Zhuge Yayun explained: "The horseshoe crab, commonly known as the sea scorpion, was a top predator in the Paleozoic ocean. It was active in the Paleozoic era, from the Ordovician period about 470 million years ago to the end of the Permian period about 250 million years ago, and finally disappeared in the Permian-Triassic extinction event."

"Extant spiders, scorpions, and horseshoe crabs are all closely related to it."

"I personally think the appearance of the brainhugger is a warning. After the apocalypse, many changes in plants and animals might not only be evolution, but also a return to their ancestral state. Furthermore, it's likely that many unknown prehistoric creatures have revived."

Zhuge Yayun sighed, "Humanity has explored less than 10% of the Earth. The microscopic world is complex and unpredictable, and the field of life sciences is even more vast. Take the human genome, for example. Even though it has been sequenced, the functions of 98% of the non-coding DNA remain unknown."
