"Human life is limited. Everyone will grow old and die. This is the law of nature that humans cannot escape. But who knows why humans grow old and die?"
On the podium, the white-haired Professor Wang Xi explained patiently. His voice echoed in the large, empty classroom.
Below the podium, Chen Chen suddenly came back to his senses. He realized that he seemed to have dozed off.
It was a very, very long nap.
However, he could not remember the dream he had when he was dozing off.
"As we all know, the unit of life is the cell. All of us here are born from a tiny fertilized egg. One becomes two, two becomes four, four becomes eight..."
On the podium, Professor Wang Xi was still explaining. Chen Chen was bored to death. He rested his chin on his hand and twirled the gel pen while staring at the projection screen.
"Clack!"
At this moment, Chen Chen's finger suddenly slipped and the gel pen in his hand flew out.
Seeing this, Chen Chen bent down reflexively and reached out to touch the ground.
"Hmm?"
Just as he bent his head below the table, he found that it was pitch black under the table.
It was a kind of darkness that absorbed all light. There was no reflection, no matter. It was a kind of thing darker than the night sky.
Chen Chen felt a little strange. He felt like he had seen this before, but it was also very unfamiliar.
Looking at the darkness under the table, Chen Chen could not help but be lost in thought.
However, just as Chen Chen was feeling puzzled, suddenly, a blood-red eyeball protruded out of the darkness and happened to make eye contact with Chen Chen.
Chen Chen was shocked. He instinctively reached out to do something, but after he reached out with his right hand, he was stunned again.
Was he going to do something?
However, he had completely forgotten...
Chen Chen looked at the thick mass of darkness again. Only then did he realize that there was no red eye. There was nothing under the table. There was nothing at all...
The doubts in Chen Chen's heart grew stronger. Since there was nothing under the table, what was he doing bending over?
Oh right, he was going to pick up the pen.
Just as Chen Chen was about to bend down to pick up the pen, Professor Wang Xi's voice suddenly came from the podium. "The student who's under the table over there, you answer —"
"Pfft!"
His roommate's evil laughter came from his side.
Chen Chen was startled and quickly crawled out from under the table. When he looked at the podium, he saw Professor Wang Xi glaring at him with bloodshot eyes...
What kind of eyes were those? They were cold and hollow. They were the kind of eyes that could not be expressed by a living person. Just a glance at them made Chen Chen feel numb as if he had been electrocuted. It felt like the blood in his body was about to freeze.
However, when Chen Chen's heart skipped a beat and he looked again, he saw that Professor Wang Xi still had a kind expression on his face as if the earlier scene was just an illusion.
"Student, what is this theory called?"
Professor Wang Xi asked again.
"It's … that …"
Chen Chen could not help stammering.
"Little Chen, Little Chen, look over here!"
Just then, his buddy on the side whispered. He secretly moved the book to Chen Chen's table and then tapped on a line of text in the book.
Seeing this, Chen Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He glanced at his best friend gratefully and then looked at the book, only to see that the book was densely packed with words, like ants slowly wriggling.
[American microbiologist Leonardo Hayflick published the Hayflick limit in 1965. This theory states that after 56 divisions, the cells in the human body will decompose and die due to self-produced toxins. In other words, "56 times" is the limit for human cells to divide on their own and maintain the body's metabolic cycle...]
"Hai, fu … Lick …"
Chen Chen instinctively bent down, trying to read the words in the book, but suddenly found that there were a few strange words mixed in with this passage...
[American microbiologist Leonardo Hayflick published the Hayflick limit I See You in 1965. This theory states that after 56 divisions, the cells in the human body will decompose and die due to self-produced toxins. In other words, "56 times" is the limit for human cells to divide on their own and maintain the body's metabolic cycle...]
"What the hell?"
Chen Chen frowned. He thought that there was something wrong with his eyes and could not help squinting to get a clearer look. However, he found that the words were getting weirder and weirder.
[American microbiologist I See You in 1965. Hayflick published the Hayflick limit I See You in 1965. This theory states that after I See You in the human body will decompose and die due to self-produced toxins. In other words, "5 I See You I See You I See You I See You I See You I See You I See You I See You I See You I See You I See You I See You I See You...]
In the end, there were only five densely packed words left in the book —
[I See You I See You I See You...]
Chen Chen felt an indescribable chill rising from his tailbone and climbing up along his spine. Finally, the chill seeped into his scalp. Chen Chen felt like his scalp was about to explode!
'I See You?
Who, who saw me? '
Chen Chen wanted to roar, but when he opened his mouth, he found that no sound came out. It was as if something was stuck in his throat. He slowly raised his head and saw that everyone in the class, including his best friend and Professor Wang Xi, were staring at him.
Their eyes were all blood-red in color ….
[I See You!]
"Pfft!"
Chen Chen's eyes snapped open and he spat out the respirator in his mouth. At once, large gurgles of salty amniotic fluid gushed into his mouth!
Chen Chen let out a muffled roar as if he was venting all the anger and fear in his heart. He raised his right hand and slammed it against the tempered glass isolation layer of the life incubator!
"Bang!"
There was a violent shattering sound. In an instant, the five-centimeter-thick tempered glass of the life incubator shattered. Glass shards flew everywhere and a large amount of amniotic fluid gushed out of the incubator like a flash flood!
Amniotic fluid and broken glass scattered everywhere. Chen Chen rushed out of the incubator and knelt on the ground, coughing violently. As he coughed, amniotic fluid gushed out of Chen Chen's lungs and stomach.
"Sir Godfather!"
Little X's concerned voice came from the speaker. After that, the lights of the entire laboratory were turned on. Several Black Knights rushed into the laboratory and wrapped Chen Chen in a blanket.
"Get out of my way!"
Chen Chen's eyes flashed red. He gave the Black Knight closest to him a hard shove. In an instant, the Black Knight who was 1.8 meters tall and weighed more than 90 kilograms was sent flying by Chen Chen!
"Boom!"
It was not until the Black Knight slammed into the outer wall of another incubator that the Black Knight slowly slid down. There were several radial cracks on the incubator behind him.
"Chen Chen, calm down, I'm X."
Little X's voice came again, there was a hint of anxiety in her tone.
Hearing this, Chen Chen's movements came to a halt. The redness in his eyes slowly faded, and then he half-knelt on the ground. He looked around with a confused expression as if he was trying to recall something.
It was not until Little X called out to him a few more times that Chen Chen's expression finally became clear. He raised his head and looked around the laboratory, then raised his right hand and looked at his palm.
Until now, Chen Chen noticed that his skin had become as smooth as cream, almost without the slightest pores.
Not only that, but he only felt that his body was as light as a feather as if his entire body contained explosive power. His figure was no longer as slender as before but had become more well-proportioned. Without exerting any force, his tight abdominal muscles and biceps became prominent.
"It looks like the experiment was successful."
At this point, Chen Chen had completely recovered. The corner of his mouth curled up into a smile. "Sorry, X, I was impulsive just now."
"Sir Godfather, don't scare me like this next time!"
Little X said with some grievance, "I thought the experiment had failed and you were going to turn into a zombie!"
"That's not true."
Chen Chen waved his hand and then put on a thoughtful expression. "The reason I acted like this seems to be because I had a dream before, in the dream..."
At this point, Chen Chen could not help frowning. "I forgot about that dream."
"If you forgot, then forget it!"
Little X said indifferently, "By the way, do you want to look in the mirror now? You'll find something unexpected!"
"Mirror?"
Chen Chen was taken aback and then saw a Black Knight carrying a floor-to-ceiling mirror and placing it in front of Chen Chen.
In the mirror, Chen Chen's face did not seem much different from before, but it seemed that it was due to genetic optimization. At this time, Chen Chen's facial lines had become more robust and three-dimensional. Coupled with a pair of inky black pupils, it added a strange charm to the originally ordinary Chen Chen.
Not only that, Chen Chen found that he had grown a lot taller. Previously, his height was only the standard height of 1.75 meters, but now, it suddenly rose to 1.8 meters.
If one were to describe Chen Chen at this time in terms of temperament, it would be — the temperament of an iceberg overbearing president.
Emmmm...
Seeing this scene, Chen Chen could not help nodding and praising, "I didn't expect that I, Chen Chen, a loser, would one day become a tall, rich, and handsome man."
"What nonsense are you thinking!"
Hearing this, Little X suddenly said angrily, "After receiving genetic modification from the T-virus, you're no longer a purebred human. Perhaps there's already a reproductive isolation between you and humans!"
Chen Chen's expression stiffened when he heard this, then he said in shock, "Are you trying to scare me? Although I've been modified by the T-virus, the difference between my DNA and original human DNA shouldn't be more than one percent. This difference shouldn't cause reproductive isolation. "
"But the degree of genetic difference between a lion and a tiger, a pseudo-killer whale and a dolphin, a horse and a donkey is also less than one percent."
Little X explained, "But what's the result? The union of a lion and a tiger can only give birth to a freak like a liger beast. The union of a pseudo-killer whale and a dolphin can only give birth to a whale dolphin, and the union of a horse and a donkey can only give birth to a mule. It is recognized by the scientific community that liger beasts, whale dolphin beasts, and mules are infertile. This means that the difference in the chromosomes between the two causes the offspring to be unable to form normal gametes, so the offspring are infertile. "
At this point, Little X could not help but sigh and said regretfully, "In this case, although the genes of both of them are reflected in the next generation, it won't continue to be passed on. Instead, it will be directly terminated. Therefore, the union between you and a human won't end well!"
"..."
Chen Chen could not be bothered to argue with Little X. After all, it was rare for Little X to be so stubborn, so he changed the subject. "Let's do a blood test. I want to see what my DNA has become and whether it's the same as the Black Knights. That's the most important thing."
"Understood."
Following Chen Chen's order, the Black Knight on the side also brought some clothes for Chen Chen to put on. Another Black Knight took out a disposable needle and directly drew ten milliliters of blood from Chen Chen's arm.
The needle was of a thicker type. This was because the skin of a clone that had been modified by the T-virus would be more resilient than that of a normal person. Regular needles could easily be twisted and broken when inserted.
After the blood was drawn, Chen Chen paid special attention and saw that the needle mark on his arm was healing at a speed almost visible to the naked eye. All that was left was a purplish-red blood dot.
"The healing speed is very consistent with the characteristics of a Black Knight."
Chen Chen nodded with satisfaction. In truth, this blood test was just a precaution. After all, if there was a one percent error during the fusion with the T-virus, with the medicinal properties of the T-virus, the only path left was to turn him into a zombie.
Now that Chen Chen was standing here unscathed, it could be said that he had succeeded.
Following that, Chen Chen began to test his strength, speed, and stamina.
This process was the same as the previous test with the Black Knights. The results obtained were also shockingly consistent with the Black Knights. He had about 250 kilograms of force in one hand. With a single punch, he could easily punch through a five-centimeter thick wooden board.
In terms of speed, Chen Chen's sprint speed instantly soared from the previous 30 kilometers per hour to 38 kilometers per hour, which was a time of 9.55 seconds for a hundred meters. This had surpassed the current human world record of 9.58 seconds.
Even so, this was only because Chen Chen had not undergone any training.
If he went through a few more months of physical training, Chen Chen could also increase his speed to 40 kilometers per hour.
In terms of endurance, Chen Chen could sprint about five hundred meters without any reduction in speed. It did not seem like much, but this was more than three times the endurance of an ordinary person. This aspect could also be improved through training.
Half a day later, the results of Chen Chen's DNA map were also completed. Chen Chen's chromosome number had not changed, still 23 pairs. The DNA difference between Chen Chen's DNA and ordinary human DNA had dropped to 99.1%.
This meant that Chen Chen was still a human. Chen Chen was still a human, just a human with a genetic mutation.
In other words, Chen Chen was a new subspecies of human...
