The Black Knight that was injected with the unknown agent finally transformed into a monster that was more than three meters tall. Its entire body was covered in a layer of stratum corneum. Not only that, but there were also dozens of thick bone spurs protruding from its back.
Even Chen Chen could not help but feel moved when he saw the Black Knight that had transformed into a ferocious giant.
"This is the G-358 that has been optimized many times. It's a G-virus that has almost reached its perfect form."
Little X held Chen Chen's hand as she observed the giant monster downstairs and said softly, "It has inherited the ability of the G-3 virus and under Dr. Watson's control, it's perfectly compatible with the Black Knight's DNA. After being injected, the Black Knight can instantly increase in size and become a super soldier with superior agility, defense, and recovery ability than a Tyrant. Its physiological structure is far superior to that of a human!"
"What about a normal person?"
Chen Chen asked, "What will happen if a normal person is injected with this virus?"
"It won't have any effect."
Little X raised her head and looked at Chen Chen with a straight face. "The G-358 will rapidly die once it comes into contact with the outside world, so it can't be transmitted outside the body. Even if it enters the body of a normal person through other means, due to the specificity of the protein antigen of the virus, it still can't infect humans. It's harmless to humans and any other living creatures in the world."
Chen Chen nodded to express his understanding.
From a biological perspective, the cells of a living organism were wrapped in a membrane that was composed of phospholipids. There were also many proteins embedded on the membrane, such as the insulin receptor protein. Its structure made it easy to bind to insulin. Once bound, it would be pulled into the cell. There were also some proteins used by the cell to identify the identity of the cell. Proteins that were different from the original body would trigger the hostility of the antibody, resulting in rejection.
The same was true for viruses. There were also various proteins on the surface of the virus. These proteins could only bind to specific proteins on the surface of the cell. Once the binding was successful, the virus would inject its genetic material into the cell and infect the cell.
However, since the proteins on the surface of different animal cells were different, some viruses were harmless to humans.
In fact, there were about 1.74 million known viruses in the natural world. However, only 219 of them could infect humans, which was a rarity.
The reason why the new G-virus could not infect normal people but could infect the Black Knight was because its ancestor originated from the T-virus. The Black Knight was a new species that was formed after humans were infected with the T-virus.
According to classification, humans were biologically classified into the Eukaryotic Superkingdom, Animalia, Metazoan … (omitting a hundred words), Primates, Anthropoidea, Simian, Simian, Hominidae, Hominidae, Homo, Homo, Homo, and Homo sapiens. Although the world was divided into Caucasians, Asians, and Blacks, from a genetic perspective, they were all homo sapiens. As for the other races like Neanderthals and Denisovans, they had gone extinct tens of thousands of years ago.
However, for the Black Knights infected with the T-virus, due to the large genetic gap, they were no longer considered homo sapiens. This was why Chen Chen said that the Black Knights were a new type of human.
However, it did not mean that all G-viruses could not infect humans. In fact, there were many types of G-viruses that could infect humans. For example, the earliest G-001/002/003 could infect almost all mammals.
Chen Chen looked at the Black Knight that had turned into a non-human monster and asked, "What's the combat power of this new life? Can it still be controlled by us? "
"Of course."
Little X was confident. "We found that this change doesn't affect the neurons of the organism. The only change is the regenerative thickening of the myelin sheath on the surface of the nerves. The only result of this is that the Black Knight's reaction speed increases by two to three times."
Chen Chen was shocked.
He knew that the human reaction speed was determined by the myelin sheath. The thicker and more developed the myelin sheath, the faster the person's reaction speed. The Black Knight's reaction speed was already three to four times that of a normal person. What would it be like if it was accelerated by two to three times?
Perhaps only the big boss of Google would know.
Little X continued. "Moreover, this is the fifty-fifth experiment. We can confirm that all Black Knights can be perfectly integrated with the G-358. Their combat power will be increased by dozens of times."
Little X turned to look at the other side of the laboratory.
Chen Chen followed her gaze and saw a huge sealed steel door. The indicator light next to the door suddenly flashed and turned from red to green.
"Warning, testing commencing. All researchers please evacuate from the test room on the first floor. I repeat, testing commencing. All researchers please evacuate from the test room on the first floor..."
A cold female voice came from the speaker. After hearing this, Watson, Hannibal, and the others quickly retreated and left through the other exits on the first floor.
Ten minutes later, Watson and the others who had taken off their protective suits appeared outside the observation room on the second floor.
"Mr. Chen."
“Boss。”
Watson, Hannibal, and the others were not surprised by Chen Chen's appearance. Everyone knew how much importance Chen Chen placed on the G-virus. The development of various biological weapons based on this terrifying virus was one of the most important projects of the Spire laboratory.
Everyone gathered around Chen Chen and looked at the hall downstairs through the floor-to-ceiling window in front of them.
At this time, as the group of researchers arrived, the door that had turned from red to green suddenly let out a dull roar. Following the low sound of metal scraping against metal, the sealed door slowly opened, revealing the dark and oppressive space behind it.
There seemed to be some kind of dangerous aura spreading. The Black Knight, who had turned into a huge monster, suddenly straightened his body and looked at the huge metal door with a solemn expression.
It seemed that the God chip was still functioning.
At this moment, a series of muffled footsteps came from the other side of the door.
"Thud!
Thud!
Thud... "
This sound was extremely oppressive. Every step seemed to be stomping on the hearts of humans. When Watson and the others heard these footsteps, their expressions changed as well. It was like seeing an animal facing its natural enemy — this was a suppression that originated from the genetic level.
Chen Chen's lips curled into a smile. He already knew who the footsteps belonged to.
Sure enough, in just a few seconds, a muscular giant about three and a half meters tall walked out from behind the door.
This giant did not wear a shirt, only a pair of black elastic shorts. Other than that, his skin was pale and his body was completely bare. There was not a single strand of hair on his body except for a pair of ghastly white eyes. As his gaze swept across, everyone except Chen Chen felt as if their souls were about to be frozen by his gaze.
Tyrant!
Chen Chen took a deep breath. This giant was none other than the T-virus Tyrant that Chen Chen had first developed when he was researching the Black Knights.
Strictly speaking, the strength of a Tyrant was not something that the Black Knights could withstand. The difference in size was a qualitative change. Although the Tyrant was only twice the height of the Black Knights, the difference in size was more than five times. The difference in strength was like a chasm. If one only considered the strength of a melee, ten Black Knights would not be a match for a single Tyrant.
However, the changing times meant that the use of firearms was far more important than melee. Therefore, under the circumstances where both parties were equipped with powerful weapons, the Tyrant and the Black Knights would only have a fifty-fifty chance of winning. The Tyrant's massive body did not give it any advantage.
Therefore, Chen Chen did not plan to mass produce the Tyrants. The number of Tyrants had always been maintained at the initial five.
This time, the Tyrant that had just appeared was one of them.
As soon as the Tyrant appeared, the Black Knight on the opposite side immediately reacted. It followed suit and walked toward its opponent step by step.
Unlike the Tyrant, the Black Knight injected with G-358 was far inferior to the Tyrant in terms of height and strength. Its entire body was grayish-black. Although its body was also very strong, compared to the Tyrant, it could only be considered as a younger brother. However, the aura it exuded was no weaker than the Tyrant.
Little X gave the two gigantic monsters the order to attack at the same time. After that, everyone watched as the two monsters sped up at the same time. The Tyrant stomped its foot and the metal floor let out a mournful wail. After that, the Tyrant launched itself into the air and slammed into the Black Knight on the opposite side!
On the other hand, the Black Knight was more agile. Its arms assisted its legs to accelerate rapidly. Then, just as it was about to collide with the Black Knight, it abruptly bounced off and shrunk its body into a ball in mid-air. Then, it leaped over the Tyrant's head!
"Whoosh!"
At lightning speed, the two gigantic monsters brushed past each other!
Hannibal, Li Lei, and the others sucked in a breath of cold air as they watched the two monsters performing acrobatics with more dexterity than professionals. The visual impact was indescribable.
However, this was just the beginning. In the next second, before the Tyrant could stop its body, the G-virus-infected Black Knight reached out with its sharp claws and quickly stopped its body through the wall. It only left a long and narrow scratch mark on the alloy wall.
After that, the Black Knight leaped again and landed on the Tyrant's back. Then, it clawed at the Tyrant!
In an instant, the entire hall was filled with flesh and blood!
"Roar!"
The Tyrant let out an angry roar. It kept twisting its body, trying to grab hold of the clown on its back. However, the clown dodged at an extremely fast speed. In desperation, the Tyrant could only force its body to fall backward, trying to pin the clown under its body!
However, the Black Knight flashed again, bounced off the Tyrant's back, and escaped from the scene!
From the perspective of the people on the second floor, they could only see a series of shocking wounds on the Tyrant's back. They could even see the bloody spine. However, in the next second, these wounds were filled with densely packed red worms. These red worms were extremely small and they were fusing together at a speed that was almost visible to the naked eye.
The red worms were actually the muscle fibers of the Tyrant. It would only take a few minutes for the wounds to heal as if nothing had happened.
This was the terrifying healing ability of the Tyrant.
However, the Tyrant did not stop. This time, it seemed to have learned its lesson. It did not continue to compete with the clown in speed and agility. Instead, it slowly walked toward the clown, trying to force the Black Knight into a corner.
Of course, the Black Knight would not let the clown have its way. As the Tyrant slowly approached, it suddenly stomped on the ground. The huge jumping force sent its body directly into the air, and it leaped over the Tyrant's head!
However, just as it was about to leap over the Tyrant's head, the Tyrant suddenly leaped up. Although the Tyrant did not have the jumping force of the clown, the height of the hall was limited. It still managed to grab the Black Knight's ankle!
In the next second, the Tyrant was like a sandbag. It lifted the Black Knight high up in the air and slammed it into the ground!
Boom!
A deafening crash was heard. The steel floor could not withstand the force and instantly caved in!
However, that was not the end. While the Black Knight was in a daze, the Tyrant did not stop. It continued to swing its arms, smashing the Black Knight over and over again!
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
The originally flat floor was quickly deformed by the Tyrant's continuous smashing. Even the walls were not spared as they caved in bit by bit. It was as if the entire hall had been bombed. At the same time, everyone could feel the constant tremors coming from beneath their feet.
Under the impact of the tremors, the Black Knight was almost reduced to a ball of cotton. When the Tyrant finally threw it away, the Black Knight was already a lump of meat!
Boom!
The Black Knight's body fell onto the cold floor like a broken sack and stopped moving.
"Is it over?"
Everyone looked at the lump of meat in confusion. They noticed that the lump of meat was wriggling and making cracking sounds.
That was the sound of bones growing...
"It's still healing at this stage?"
Watson muttered under his breath.
"Of course. The Black Knight infected with G-358 has a stronger healing ability than the Tyrant."
Little X turned around and rolled her eyes at Watson.
Following Little X's words, the lump of meat quickly reverted to its human form under the watchful eyes of the crowd. The Tyrant also stopped its attack. After all, this was not a battle to the death, it was just a friendly match.
Half a minute later, the Black Knight stood up again. Not only that, but the stratum corneum on its body seemed to have thickened and even began to form a skeletal structure.
"Exoskeleton?"
Watson and Hannibal exclaimed at the same time. The Black Knight infected with the G-358 virus was evolving!
Seeing that its opponent had stood up again, the Tyrant let out a roar. It then took another step forward and charged at its opponent before it could regain its balance!
