Inside the elevator, Zhang Xu took out a purple crystal from his trouser pocket, stared at it for a moment, and stuffed it into his mouth. It was the Jagged Centipede's Crystal of Hope. The feeling of eating it was not as immediate as the previous green Crystal of Hope. It melted slowly like a hard candy. Zhang Xu immediately bit it into pieces and swallowed it.
A violent torrent of energy entered Zhang Xu's body. Every inch of muscle and every bone was in pain. It was no longer as gentle as before. A large number of centipede genes inside were decomposed, extracted, and fused. This is the ability of gene control. The transitional biological race will cause its own genetic chain to break. This is also one of the directions for all future evolvers.
Future evolvers will find that many creatures have complementary abilities. For example, if a giant evolver gains the ability to fly or speed, the enhancement will not be just a little bit. Eating crystals of hope from different creatures can superimpose abilities.
There is a huge generation gap in the genes of different races. What cannot be explained is the fusion of cross-species. The reason why this is possible is also the reason why the mysterious zombie virus serves as a bridge. However, if it is small, it will be extremely painful, and if it is large, it will turn into a corpse.
Following the powerful has caused many people to lose the fear of death!
However, genes cannot be fused casually. Can you imagine that a dog can have bird wings? Such chaotic genes will be the first to unfold on the evolved ones!
Take a cup of ordinary water as a gene, and add different materials into it. The materials serve as various genes. At first, sugar is added to form sugar water, then salt is added to form salt water, coffee powder is added to form coffee, and so on.
If you add just one thing alone, it will definitely exceed the value of plain water, but the more different things you add, the worse the water will be. And whoever dares to drink this dark cuisine may feel uncomfortable just looking at it.
The same is true for genes. The greater the number of fused organisms, the greater the damage to their own genes. One day, when the zombie virus cannot withstand it, the genes in the body will be destroyed, and ultimately the host will die.
Later, scientific research concluded that there are seven levels of biological classification in the biological world: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.
Humans belong to the animal kingdom, the phylum Chordata, the class Mammalia, the order Primates, the family Hominidae, the genus Homo, and the species Homo sapiens. Among them, the Crystals of Hope of the same level as the target have a fusion degree of over 80%, and the higher the probability, the higher the chance. Zombies are transformed from humans, and the Crystals of Hope can be superimposed. As for how they were discovered, of course these are all More to come.
There are also those who can continuously superimpose genes wirelessly. The only one whose ability is controlled by genes is Zhang Xu. The reason for this will be explained later.
Of course, the best way to strengthen yourself is to fight and strengthen your body through life and death!
After swallowing the Jagged Centipede's Crystal of Hope, Zhang Xu's level rose from 13.81 to 16.21, an increase of 2.4 levels. This was a huge improvement. His own strength can also be increased online, and Zhang Xu surprisingly discovered the power of his own skills. Variety.
The first is Xue He. It was originally an ordinary bright red tentacle. It was not aggressive and its attack method was relatively simple slap or impact. It could not attack zombies or insect creatures with high armor.
But now, Xue He can transform as he wished. It changes into a centipede-like shape, with sharp barbs on both sides and two sharp reddish-brown spikes at the end. Its attack power is greatly improved, just like a wooden stick. Studded with steel nails, full of lethality!
However, there are gains and losses. Xue He's strength becomes hard and he cannot quickly wrap his body during battle. Facing those fast or large numbers of creatures, he cannot protect 360 degrees. However, as long as it takes a longer time, he can still transform. Go back.
Feeling that Xue He's sharpness was as sharp as steel, Zhang Xu praised him: "What a Xue He! Hey, wait~" He suddenly stopped his expression of joy, because he had gained more than one ability change, and Other changes.
Zhang Xu stroked his forehead with his right hand. He found that he could actually control some insects. The closer he got to the ground, the more he could feel his control increasing. According to the theory, insects did not actually refer to insects, such as centipedes, spiders, and scorpions. The bugs that ordinary people talk about are not a type of insect according to biology.
But as long as they are these smaller arthropods, Zhang Xu can control them with ease, because their brain structure is simple. The Sawtooth Centipede's ability to control insect swarms is reflected in Zhang Xu.
After all, this is the use of brain waves, which many people commonly call spiritual power. This electromagnetic wave is one of the four powerful forces in the universe. It is everywhere. Specific indexes can make the same object achieve different effects.
Zhang Xu named this ability Insect Sensing, and the range of control is very small. Now it is the limit to communicate with mutated insects whose genes have been unlocked for more than level 3. Of course, everyone knows that you can master the skills with practice. After all, Zhang Xu Xu just got started.
If there are insect queens like serrated centipedes around, it would be difficult for Zhang Xu to instigate them to fight for him. After all, this ability is more like communicating with insects rather than giving orders.
The elevator Zhang Xu took came to the city wall. He did not plan to leave the central area and face the Ape King directly. The battle between the two sides might destroy the entrance and exit. A cold steel gate in front of him opened and revealed the inside of the base.
The base soldiers behind him left Zhang Xu in the transition warehouse. There were drones from the base monitoring the outside. There were no mutant creatures nearby. According to Zhang Xu's estimation, they should all be lurking inside the base, looking for traces of humans.
After walking out of the gate and going several hundred meters deep to confirm that there were no mutant creatures, Zhang Xu slowly closed his eyes. He wanted to use his new ability now.
Insect sensor!
In my mind, I feel the various insects outside, and I can communicate with them through their perception and resonance. Mosquitoes in the sewers are buzzing and flying incessantly. Countless flies are climbing on the dead bodies of people. The spider was motionless, and all kinds of small insects were flashing in Zhang Xu's mind, like dots of stars, and each of their movement trajectories could be accurately grasped.
He himself was like an outsider, watching the insects move more than ten meters around him, but he couldn't interfere. He felt so close yet so far away. More than ten minutes passed, and then he was still a little dizzy.
Quickly stopping the insect sensor, Zhang Xu felt better: "I didn't expect there were so many insects around ten meters away, but they couldn't be used by me..." The reason why the Sawtooth Centipede can control so many insect swarms , the main reason is deterrence. The King of Orangs occupies the entire mountain range. As long as the creatures in its territory are under its control, if there are any disobedient ones, they will basically be removed. So why do the birds obey the Sawtooth Centipede? They are still worried about the Orangutans. The king's revenge.
As for why those who can fly are afraid of those who cannot fly, as long as snakes or other low-level predators are controlled and made to serve, unless they stay in the sky and never come down, they will still not be able to escape death.
"There are so many bugs that I can't use any of them... I have it!" Zhang Xu said to himself, and then he had a flash of inspiration and immediately caught a fly for experiment. He carefully held the fly in his hand and stuck it to the corner of the wall. Slowly close your eyes and use your brain to feel everything about it.
Zhang Xu thought this way, since a group of insects cannot be controlled, can one be used alone? Suddenly, Zhang Xu's closed eyes opened. His pupils were no longer black, but fluorescent green!
The perspective presented in Zhang Xu's mind now was the same as that of the fly in his hand. Many compound eyes showed a bunch of blurry pictures, but this initial attempt was considered a successful beginning, and then Zhang Xu began to continue other tests.
Finally, after half an hour of unremitting efforts, it was effective. At this moment, a fly buzzed, circled around Zhang Xu several times, and landed quietly on his shoulder.
Zhang Xu used Xue He's sub-individuals to parasitize the flies. The sub-individuals were originally used to control people. However, for a flying insect, it will not be threatened by Zhang Xu at all. The insect sensor can already control it. The purpose of adding a sub-individual is to change its perspective.
Once the child is parasitic on a living creature, it will feed back various collected information to the mother Xue He. Zhang Xu can naturally know the senses it can feel. The child is a link that changes the perspective of this fly.
Now there are only two genes in Zhang Xu's body: centipedes and iron worms. Without this ability, Zhang Xu can only catch a few ordinary centipedes to find out. The iron worms move too slowly and will not work at all.
Through viruses and their genes as a medium, insects can achieve these effects through induction. Although these small creatures are not insects, they remain the same. As long as you use this kind of brain wave control more, you will know that the brains of each creature are different. frequency, but there are not so many small bugs for Zhang Xu to test at the moment.
This control ability can be developed more. In the future, it can help Zhang Xu fight, retreat, and investigate. It is a very practical ability.
It cannot be replaced by some drones. Although drones can also carry weapons and ammunition for Zhang Xu to fight and investigate, even if the drone is hidden and cannot be noticed by humans, its noise cannot escape zombies and mutations at all. Biological senses, and waste are not always available.
Taking out the drone from the quantum device during battle is not the same as saying hello to the enemy. Only Yao Yuanyuan and the others know about this technological product, and no one can expose it. Insects are everywhere, and they are the only insects known and named by humans around the world. There are three million species, and with human technological exploration, more hidden insects are still being discovered and named.
There are swarms of insects fighting for Zhang Xu all the time. Now Zhang Xu can indeed control the mutated insects, but there is no need to take risks. The gains outweigh the losses by alarming the mutated creatures in the central area.
Just like that, a brand new black fly flew out from Zhang Xu, heading towards the central area where the beasts were to gather information. At the same time, Zhang Xu caught more flies to use the insect sensor. Now, up to 3 flies can be used to fly to different places. Fly in the direction and explore the path for him.
A huge distribution map was placed in Zhang Xu's mind. There were several mutant spiders more than a hundred meters ahead. Zhang Xu used ordinary flies to swagger away from the spider webs they woven. They were too big, and the smallest ones were They are all about the size of an adult's palm, so they don't look down on this little bit of meat.
Then Zhang Xu discovered the hiding spots of mutated creatures one by one. He was not afraid of them, but it was almost impossible to kill them quietly. If they discovered that there were humans coming to the central area, they might They will attack in groups.
