The beginning of the development of a mammalian embryo was the sprouting of the spinal cord. For this reason, when a human fetus was observed with an X-ray, it would initially have the shape of a crescent moon. The experiment that Zhang Lisheng did by using the Gold Core fragment to touch the spinal cord of a white mouse to induce a genetic mutation was actually a very simple and crude process of creating a man-made spiritual monster.
The stabilizer used in the experiment was formulated from the anti-immunity drug injected when the human organ was transplanted in order to minimize the interference of the immune system in the process of inducing the white mouse's genes. This was also the reason why he killed the white mouse. The entire experiment had nothing to do with virology.
Zhang Lisheng spent a lot of effort to finally dispel the girls' worries, but it also aroused Sheila's interest. "You mean, you're studying how to create a Superman, right, Lisheng?"
"Create a Superman?" Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a moment. "From the perspective of humans being some kind of animal, Sheila, you're not wrong to say so."
"Oh, in that case, if it's successful, this experiment will allow people to live longer, become more beautiful, and have a slimmer figure …"
"No, no, no, Sheila! You're too greedy!" Zhang Lisheng looked at the girl's beaming face and interrupted her. "Successfully transplanting a Gold Core to replace the organ is not a full-body cosmetic surgery.
It will only make you stronger. Depending on the quality of the Gold Core, you might even be able to gain some strange abilities. By the way, you should be able to live longer just now. It should be able to extend your lifespan by at least seven to eight times … "
"Oh, God! This is enough, Lisheng! According to what you said, your experiment is enough to change the entire human society!"
"That's impossible. The Gold Core is very rare and this kind of thing condensed from the essence of the sun and the moon can never be artificially synthesized. Even if the experiment is successful, there won't be any fundamental change from the perspective of the entire human society." Zhang Lisheng shrugged.
"But at the very least, Tina, Trish, and I can become Superman, can't we?" Sheila said with a chuckle.
"My dear, as a Catholic with a reverent heart, I don't want to become some Superman." Upon hearing the girl's words, Trish, who was by her side, immediately shook her head and rejected her decisively.
"Oh, stubborn girl! When you're lying on the bed in your seventies or eighties and you see me still maintaining my youthful appearance and swaying elegantly in front of you, you'll know how stupid your persistence is now."
"Even though a devout faith can't keep my body healthy forever, it can keep my spirit forever …" Trish said calmly.
When Tina, who was by the side, saw her two best friends starting to argue, she said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "Hey, hey, babies! Lisheng can't even save a mouse now, so don't you think it's a little too early for you to discuss whether you want to become Superman or not?
I think it's better for us to talk about practical issues. For example, are we going back to New York with Mr. Dubin and the rest, or are we going to stay on the island? "
"Of course, I'll continue to stay on the island. I still want to follow Lisheng to see how the native tribe he rules looks like," Sheila replied without hesitation. "Oh yeah, dear Lisheng, is the wooden boat that we've modified for you useful?"
"Those blueprints have been modified by the indigenous craftsmen, and they're still usable.
However, I don't think you'll be able to see what the finished product looks like after the modification because no matter what, I'll never bring you to the jungle to take risks. This is non-negotiable. "Zhang Lisheng's tone did not sound like there was any room for negotiation at all." We'll go look for your teacher-in-charge later, Mr. Dubin. "
The girls looked at each other and said nothing. After that, they quietly watched the young man finish a few strange experiments and left the bunker together.
The comprehensive student delegation from Harvard University who came to Shrimp B1 Island stayed in the first resort opened by the Four Seasons Hotel Group on the island.
Even though it was called a resort hotel, it was limited to the real environment of a human gathering place. In fact, it was just several dozens of single-story cement houses that were connected together on half a block. Not only that, but the decoration style was also simple and comfortable.
So much so that when Zhang Lisheng walked into the hotel lobby and looked around, his first comment was, "So this is the Four Seasons Hotel on Shrimp B1 Island? Why do I feel that it's not even as good as my butcher shop?"
"Baby, your butcher shop is only 100 square meters big but this place is thousands of square meters. It's said that the investment has already exceeded 100 million USD," Tina explained while walking to the front desk of the hotel. She asked the smiling waiter who was wearing a delicate uniform, "Miss, I'm Tina Douglin. May I know if there's any message for me?"
"Please wait a moment." The waiter looked down at the computer. "There's a message for you, Miss Tina …"
When the girl was listening to the message, a handsome middle-aged Asian man with black-rimmed glasses with amiable facial features was sitting on the beige leather sofa in the rest area of the hotel lobby for guests to rest. He kept staring at her in astonishment.
Beside the middle-aged man, a burly man with a brown beard wearing a denim jacket noticed that his companion's gaze was not right. With a strange smile, he leaned his head over and mocked, "Zheng Heyun, oh Zheng Heyun! You're either pretending to be quiet or violent and angry all day long. I can't believe that you still have a mortal heart.
You've been staring at those three US girls for quite a while now. What do you think? Why don't we capture them for you tonight … "
As the burly man was speaking, his gaze inadvertently shifted to Zhang Lisheng who was following behind Tina. At first, he glanced at him indifferently but suddenly hissed as though he had a toothache. Then, he shifted his gaze back again. "No, no! Look, it's that boy!
My goodness! His face is covered in black smoke! It's obvious that he has cultivated witchcraft before! W-What's going on? The Old Gods can't possibly send two batches of people … "
"Stop guessing blindly. I've seen that young man in South Africa before. He's a vagrant in our witchcraft." When Zheng Heyun saw that the burly man had discovered the clue that Zhang Lisheng was cultivating witchcraft, he secretly regretted that he should not have shown such a change in expression. However, since it had come to this, he could only try his best to help the young man. "He should just come to the island to play, so just ignore it."
"Heyun, what are you talking about? Since he's a fellow disciple who cultivates witchcraft, how can we ignore him? Besides, look at how he's mingling with a few foreign girls. He looks like he's doing it with ease. Who knows, he might be useful." The burly man's eyes widened. "No, I must go talk to Brother Zhu. We must find an opportunity to get closer to that boy." Then, he stood up and strode out of the hotel.
Zheng Heyun could not stop him in time, nor could he stop him. He could only let his companions leave. After that, he sat on the sofa with a frown and pondered for a while. Suddenly, he stood up and strode towards Zhang Lisheng.
Zhang Lisheng, who was waiting for Tina to finish listening to the message, inadvertently saw Zheng Heyun walking towards him. His body froze as a horrified expression crept upon his face. Then, when the two of them crossed each other, he heard Zheng Heyun whispering in Mandarin, "The water is deep and the mud is dirty. It's best to leave." Then, he watched the middle-aged man walk straight out of the hotel.
When he was in South Africa, Zhang Lisheng had already seen Consultant Zheng's kind expression and terrifying means that was completely opposite to his kind temperament. Of course, he would not turn a deaf ear to this Grand Wizard's warning.
His breathing quickened and he was stunned for a while with a grave expression. Without warning, he asked, "Tina, when will your Harvard University's comprehensive expedition team leave the island?"
"They can leave anytime from this afternoon until next Friday afternoon. You may not know this yet, baby, but the civil aviation that passes through Shrimp B1 Island is already open now. Even though the ticket is a little expensive, it's much more flexible.
Did something happen? Why do you look so pale? "Tina asked with concern.
"It's nothing. You guys leave right now. I'm afraid something bad will happen on the island in the near future." Zhang Lisheng said with a solemn expression. "Let's bid farewell here …"
"It's very serious, isn't it? In that case, can you leave with us? Please, baby."
"Don't worry, Tina. As long as you guys leave, it's not particularly serious to me.
After all, I still have a few life-saving trump cards. Besides, just like you said, this is my 'home field'. No matter what happens, I can handle it. "
"No way! You've even said something like 'life-saving trump cards'. I-I don't feel at ease leaving you alone on the island. Why don't you leave with us? Otherwise, I'll definitely stay here to accompany you." The girl who was blinded by love shook her head and said.
"Don't be willful, Tina. I said that I can handle it, so I'll definitely be able to handle it." His girlfriend's insistence made Zhang Lisheng's expression turn stiff.
However, when he met Tina's gaze that was filled with anxiety, concern, and persistence, his cold face unknowingly softened again. Helplessly and anxiously, he randomly said, "Tina, I'll really be fine.
How about this? I promise you that as long as you leave today, I'll bring you to see the native tribe that believes in me the next time you come to Shrimp B1 Island with Trish and Sheila. I'll let you really feel how powerful your boyfriend is. "
"My dear, since Lisheng has already said so, I think that no matter what happens, he should be able to handle it. Besides, I, no, you, can't do anything if you stay on the island other than making him more dangerous." Trish, who was by the side, suddenly persuaded. "It's better for you to leave."
"That's right, Tina. Lisheng's words have already involved a man's dignity. If I were you, I'd choose to believe in my boyfriend because even though he looks ordinary, we all know how courageous, confident, and powerful he is," Sheila also hugged her best friend and whispered.
