Chapter 364 Research Expansion

 In order not to disturb the rest of the Eucharists,

The archbishop led Yi Chen out of the secret room and went to a rest room built into the church. At the same time, he set up a radiant barrier to prevent the breath of new life from leaking.

 As Yi Chen put the truncated shotgun suffering from iron disease on the table,

 As if an ‘ancient switch’ has been touched,

This archbishop, who felt abandoned by the times, looked like an old corpse, and even had some difficulty walking, actually held the handle of the gun with a very skillful hand, and even made a turning movement in the palm of his hand to load the gun.

The muzzle of the gun was pointed at Yi Chen, and then he put it back in front of him to taste it, and touched the metal texture on the surface of the gun body with his old and wrinkled fingers.

"This is... Mariano Mariano's craftsmanship, right? The essence of the disease is basically retained. It is short but heavy. It is suitable for medium and short-distance combat. It is a high-grade category. No wonder you want to be promoted."

 “Archbishop, can you use a gun?”

“Do you think that an old guy like me has long been behind the times? I don’t even know the word firearm?

I don’t stay here every day. I go out occasionally to see how the organization is developing and to experience new things. Firearms are my favorite product of technological advancement, and I am also happy to see the development of this new type of weapon and its combination with diseases.

 But for such a diseased object that involves modern technology, "upgrading" will be a very troublesome process.

 Appropriate relic materials are only one part of the equation. A large amount of crafting materials and gunsmiths who can control open source disease items also need to be supplied. "

"That…"

Yi Chen also had some difficulties. He was even thinking about picking the most valuable item from the secret cache, when to go to the old world to trade with the Duke, and buy a firearm or related materials directly from the other party.

“This thing will definitely not be made before you take the exam. Due to the special nature of the material, it may need to be redesigned. It is expected to take a month. If you are lucky, it may be faster.

 The "production process" will be offset by your contribution reward this time.

As for the animal disease umbilical cord, you should keep it first. If it is definitely needed when upgrading the firearm, it will not be too late to give it to me... It must be of great significance for such a rare thing to fall into your hands. "

 “This…thank you, Archbishop.”

Although Yi Chen was a little embarrassed, he immediately thanked the other person. This opportunity should not be missed.

 The shotgun spun in the hands of the archbishop and inserted between the robes.

"Tell me about the origin of the "umbilicus of animal diseases"... There are many types of animal diseases, but this kind of "umbilical cord" involving origin and rebirth is the rarest type among them. "

Yi Chen also informed in detail about his mission to the village and involving the New Religion.

Of course, we also talked about the lost holy fetus, the girl Leni, who was finally selected by the old world to undergo the open source process of "half-goat transformation".

The archbishop also rubbed the wrinkles on his face and whispered:

 “The new church, the crossbreeding of beasts, the selection of the Holy Fetus, the birth of the black sheep.

William You should know that the old world called [Disease] suffered some kind of annihilation blow, and the rules of the world were blocked. A large number of patients were exterminated as a result, and many epidemic areas completely collapsed.

　　Only one kind of animal group survived in that devastating disaster, and that was the sheep.

 But their living conditions are still terrible. Under the completely blocked old world, even if they survive, they cannot reproduce. They can only rely on our world to continue their offspring.

The girl you met is a black sheep bred by the other party through the rules, vitality and other conditions of our world.

 Since the development of the organization, in all the cases of animalization that have been dealt with, there have been no more than ten black sheep...and most of them are not as good as the black sheep girl you described.

 Open source means half sheep, which is really rare.

 Since the other party is willing to give you such an important umbilical cord, it means that you are very important to her.

 Since this is a token, it should not be used as weapon material.

From now on, when our world is completely covered by the gray area, you can also use this umbilical cord to get in touch with the animal-sick sheep, and maybe you can get a good living environment and pass on the fire of humanity. "

 “What about the relic base material?”

 “I’ll try to help you get it done, or you won’t accept the award next time you come here.”

 “Ah this…”

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Since you are willing to become the first gentleman and contribute and sacrifice for the organization, it is reasonable for me to help you a little."

Yi Chen said goodbye to the archbishop and walked down the church stairs. He also sighed repeatedly. He didn't expect that the people he met in his past life would be so different in this life. Maybe it was the so-called "balance of fate" that secretly guided him.

 Just stepped out of the church door,

A strong arm hugged Yi Chen's shoulders, but the arm was thin and smelled of meat. There was also a breath coming from the side.

 “Kim, Reagan, haven’t you left yet?”

Jin's chin has been gently resting on Yi Chen's shoulder: "Isn't this waiting for you to come together? Let's see what kind of secrets you get."

After Yi Chen explained the matter, Jin spread his hands and said, "Boring, if I had known I wouldn't have waited for you... There are only a few days left, William, what are you going to do? Do you want to continue training outside the city?"

“No, my body has just recovered. If I am bombarded by mental power again, I will have no strength by the time of the assessment.

 Let’s relax for the remaining few days. Jin might as well follow me and read books together on weekdays. "

 “Okay~”

Reagan stepped in at this moment, "Wait a minute, William, don't rush to play with Miss Jin. There is one more thing worth doing before you take the assessment, and it will not have any impact on your status, and may even be beneficial." Your assessment.”

"What?"

“Don’t you remember what you promised me before? [Research on the Dead], although the real deceased is dead, you should have something left by him, right?

 In addition, I have also carried out "stripping" many times during the battle, and I have collected some samples belonging to the real dead. "

 Hiss~Hydraulic release

Reagan took out a test tube from the cryogenic chamber that he carried with him. Inside was suspended the tissue fluid of the real deceased, which Reagan had 'plucked out' from the opponent's body through every mental confrontation.

 “Okay! Jin, come with us?”

“It’s boring to be alone anyway, so let’s go together! It seems that the institute has a special training ground. Can Director Reagan arrange it?”

“Miss Jin is talking about the prosthetic training room, right? No problem, I’ll take care of it.”

 Ever since he was hungry outside and ate takeaways brought back by King, Reagan's attitude toward King seemed to have changed from friendliness to respect.

【graduate School】

 As Jin was arranged to go to the prosthetic training room.

Yi Chen also put on a lab coat and went to the laboratory with a sealing level of BSL-4* with Reagan.

 (BSL, BiosafetyLevel, divided into four levels from low to high, 1-4)

Level 4 laboratories are extremely expensive and are dedicated to research on the most lethal and transmissible pathogens and patients. There were only two rooms in the entire institute, and Reagan fought for one of them to conduct research on the deadly epidemic.

An electronically-assisted high-resolution optical microscope made by Reagan has been configured and equipped with a double tube for two people to observe together.

As Reagan used his mental power to forcibly fix the plague bacteria on the slide, the two of them got closer to the lens tube and immediately observed the structure of the bacteria that originated from the original deceased.

 Pitch black, with tube-like flagella that continuously excretes black mist.

When the plague bacteria sense the presence of an observer, their fine proteins quickly construct a cross structure. At the same time, the bacterial community also rearranges itself, performing their unique "visual communication."

 Reagan decisively looked away immediately,

Yi Chen on the side not only made no evasive action, but further widened his eyes, gently held the lens tube with both hands, and even let the ashes cover the entire eyeball, and looked more carefully.

 Saliva drips from the corner of the mouth,

A sigh from the heart escaped from the throat:

 “What a beautiful structure!”
