Chapter 455 Big brother, why don't you put on a skirt after you haven't seen him for a few days?

  The holographic image is very long, but the most informative part is basically concentrated in the first few minutes of dialogue.

  Following, the G-13 researchers ran around planning projects, and inserted a series of sub-topics including induced mutation, reverse reduction, etc. into the original research plan on the B6 floor.

  Until the end, the experimental body that evolved into the mother body suddenly went berserk, and the entire floor of B6 was eroded by the slime mold.

  Although researcher G-13 called for reinforcements in time, it was obviously too late.

  A heavily armed assault team entered the B6 floor, but was quickly defeated in front of the slime mold fruiting bodies pouring in like a tide.

  Actually, judging from the images in the experiment log, researcher G-13 had a chance to escape, but in order to take away the experimental data and research results, he missed the last escape window and was brutally killed by his mother in the computer room of the laboratory.

  At the end of the video, Chu Guang noticed an interesting detail.

Although the G-13 researcher failed to take away the experiment data in the end, and most of the researchers on this floor died in the riot, but according to the self-report of the experiment log holder, there are still several researchers who succeeded under the cover of the commando. Stand on the elevator.

   In addition, a suitcase was also taken away, which contained a set of reagents called "Induced Evolution Stock Solution".

  And that group of reagents is the root cause of the fall of the B6 layer.

  Unfortunately, the person in the holographic image did not explain the whereabouts of the suitcase. The last scene followed the lights on the floor going out one after another, and the air purification system was turned off one after another. The curtain fell in a desperate silence...

   What surprised Chu Guang was not entirely this secret history, but that this amazing experiment turned out to be just the tip of the iceberg of all the secrets in the entire refuge!

  He became more and more curious about what was written in the manager's log of the first generation of managers.

  The holographic video came to an end, and the former college prospector standing aside suddenly let out a sigh of emotion.

   "I suddenly have a feeling... your ex was horrible."

  Chu Guang glanced at Yin Fang.

"Um?"

  Yin Fang continued to ask.

   "Does he always spy on people like this?"

  Chu Guang shook his head.

   "Then I don't know, he has been dead for so many years."

"you sure?"

   To be honest, Chu Guang is not sure.

  In the past, he only believed that normal people could not live that long, so he judged that the first-generation managers should be dead.

  But after meeting so many old monsters, he suddenly found that two centuries didn't seem so difficult.

  Whether it’s freezing hibernation, or replacing the bionic prosthetic body, or using other methods, as long as you want to live, there is always a way to hang your breath.

  If it’s not possible, you can upload your consciousness to the cloud,

  However, even if the inherent cognition has been subverted, Chu Guang still feels that the person is probably no longer in this world.

   As for the reason...

   "He's not like the kind of person who is good at lying... Besides, I don't think he has the need to lie."

   "Why?" Yin Fang raised his eyebrows and looked at Chu Guang with interest, "Didn't you say that you have never seen him before?"

  Chu Guang shook his head.

   "I don't know, but I'm rarely so sure of one thing without reason... Just take it as my intuition."

  Yin Fang did not continue to ask.

   This is not an important thing.

  The reason why he asked casually was only out of his professional habit of digging graves. His interest in antiques was second only to the coffee machine in the Prosperous Era.

"But thinking about it this way...it always feels more terrifying," Heya sighed, and crossed her arms in a different position, with a deep expression under her silver bangs, "He knew everything, but he acquiesced in all this happening... This feeling is as if, even the betrayal of his own people is in his calculations."

  Whether it's the little guy named the guard, or the researcher numbered G-13.

  Yin Fang nodded in agreement.

   "Really? I was thinking about this just now. If the B6 floor is out of control under his instruction... then what is his purpose?"

  Chu Guang leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then said.

   "Primitive matrix from the Three Years' War, controlled evolution in a resource-poor environment...this may be what he needs."

  Yin Fang continued to ask.

   "Then what? Where do you plan to use it? Use it to defeat the brood in Qingquan City? But with all due respect, even if it can do it, the newly born brood may not listen to us."

   "I don't know... Maybe he didn't know what to use, so he didn't use it himself, but left it to me."

   After saying this, Chu Guang fell into deep thought.

   At this moment, Heya who folded her arms suddenly raised her head and said.

   "The technology of inducing the fruiting body to reverse into the parent body through artificial library compilation...successful?"

   Chu Guang froze for a moment, nodded and said.

   "Should be successful... Or where did the brood on the B6 floor come from?"

  A complex expression flashed in Heya's eyes, half envious and half jealous.

   "Unbelievable..."

  She has studied slime molds for so long, but she only figured out the evolutionary principles and social habits of those creatures on a theoretical level.

  A certain scholar two centuries ago, a researcher numbered G-13, made such an astonishing research result in a closed shelter using only limited experimental samples and resources.

  Apart from envy and jealousy, she couldn't help feeling a faint sense of frustration in her heart.

   No wonder her mentor Kallen always told her that the best times are over.

  An ordinary researcher who didn't even leave her name, her academic attainments far surpassed hers.

   Sure enough, I still have a long way to go...

   Seeing the frustration behind that trace of envy, Chu Guang was about to comfort her with a few words not to compare with the old monsters in the prosperous era, when three lines of light blue pop-up windows suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

  【The preprocessing procedure is completed. 】

  【The "abnormal individual" has been injected with the induction evolution reagent group, and the mothering has been completed. 】

  【Do you accept it? (If you choose No or do not make a choice within 30 days, the synthetic matrix will be wiped out)]

  When he saw the last line of text, a flash of surprise flashed in Chu Guang's eyes.

   “…matriarchalization?”

   Good guy!

  Ganqing’s shelter system intends to use the "symbiotic" falling feathers as materials to make a matrix! ?

  He seems to have figured out something.

  Yin Fang and He Ya both looked at Chu Guang who was talking to himself, and cast puzzled eyes on him.

"What?"

  Chu Guang didn't answer. He swiped his index finger forward lightly, and selected the [Confirm] button on the operation interface that only he could see.

   Standing up from the sofa, he walked towards the power armor parked in the corner of the reading room. After putting it on, he hung the warhammer that was leaning aside on his back.

  Looking at the two people who were confused, he said concisely.

   “…new matrix.”

   "Follow me to B1."

  …

   At the same time that Chu Guang pressed the confirmation button, a dark circle of players had already surrounded the conveyor belt.

   "Fuck? Falling feathers?"

   "You... are Brother Luo Yu, right?"

   "Big brother, why haven't you put on a skirt since you haven't seen him for a few days?"

  Surrounded by a group of players, "Luo Yu" standing next to the conveyor belt didn't speak, just watched them quietly.

  The so-called skirt is naturally not a skirt in the true sense, but a scarlet fungus that drags on the ground like a skirt.

   It's not just the legs that are covered.

  Flesh-red bacteria blocks almost cover its whole body, leaving only a few human-like features. Even its facial features are like melted ice cream, leaving only an abstract outline.

  However, this appearance is not as ugly as imagined, and the small earthworms floating on the back of the head are not as ferocious as the mother body that appeared in the previous wave.

  At least in terms of human aesthetics, the big round eyes and soft body lines are surprisingly cute.

  Besides, that face is no longer the dull look it was before, but the expression is still a little ignorant and confused.

   "Eep...huh?"

  It let out a confused murmur, and this action also caused the surrounding players to cry and howl.

  Some are trying to vomit, and some are poked at their cute spots.

   "Fuck, don't be so cute!"

   "Wake up! You are a boy!"

   "Oops... I actually think this guy is kind of cute."

   "It feels like a dolphin."

  A female player stepped forward and touched its head curiously.

  "Luo Yu" didn't show any hostility, but instead let out a happy voice and rubbed her hand, and this also attracted a large group of players who were overflowing with maternal love, and couldn't help but attack it.

  Looking at "Luo Yu" surrounded by everyone, the faces of the mosquitoes and other players were full of expressions of envy and hatred.

  Especially Mr. Garbage, he is almost ready to kill.

   Everyone is different, why are you so popular!

   "Sure enough, I should kill it."

   Father Baiyin, who was standing aside, nodded in deep agreement.

   "Agreed... it affects the balance a bit!"

  The silver brothers on the side also shouted their approval.

   "+1"

   "No problem!"

  Everyone entered the game at about the same time, why are you so European!

   Shady!

   Definitely a shady scene!

  Yaoya, who was also in the hall on the B1 floor, didn't go up to it, but was terrified for a while, and took a few steps back.

   "Hey! Humanoid leech!"

   Standing by the side, Fujiteng glanced at her with a subtle expression,

   "If Luo Yu hears it, it will be sad."

   Anyway, the difference between this and a leech is quite big, right?

   How is this connected?

  Smoking Quit scratched the back of his head: "By the way, what's going on with this guy?"

  Ye Shi shook his head.

   "Ghost knows... I just want to know whether this thing is a player or an NPC now."

   It would be great if Fang Chang was here.

  This game is played by that guy best.

  Several Y-2 drones are hovering nearby, and the suspended guns are guarding the "Falling Feather" standing next to the conveyor belt, ready to fire injection needles containing inhibitors at any time.

  All the players didn't notice that this area has been controlled unconsciously.

  At this time, there was a commotion from the direction of the elevator entrance, and the manager in power armor walked towards here with Yin Fang and Heya Meteor.

   "...What's the situation?" Shocked by the situation in front of him, Yin Fang swallowed.

   "The residents of the shelter who lived in symbiosis with No. 7 slime mold were mothered!"

  Heya stared at the direction of the conveyor belt with piercing eyes.

  Having seen some clues, she answered before Chu Guang.

  Yin Fang's face was full of bewilderment.

   "...So this guy is now a human or a mother?"

   "Half and half."

   Replied concisely, Chu Guang stared at the "Luo Yu", and was a little confused by the operation of the shelter.

  The only thing that is certain now is that his players can no longer log in to this body, and the refuge has begun to breed new clones for Falling Feather.

so…

  This should be considered a brand new individual?

  Thinking of this, he looked at the matrix surrounded by players.

"Can you listen to me?"

   "Eeh?"

   Kazilan of "Luo Yu" moved her big eyes up and down, looking curiously at the iron bump in front of her.

  Finding that it could hear its own voice, Chu Guang thought for a while, and then said.

   "From now on, you will be called... Yu."

  …

  In order to facilitate the distinction and cultivation, Chu Guang gave this artificial slime mold mother a new name.

  Perhaps it was because the remaining memory fragments in the brain contained this syllable. The little guy seemed to like the name very much, and there was a hint of joy in the response, and the little earthworms floating behind his head fluctuated like seaweed.

  However, no one can be sure now whether this harmlessness is performed, or it is its nature.

  In order to prevent history from repeating itself, Chu Guang temporarily placed this uncertain factor at the exit of the elevator on the B6 floor, and regularly sent food to it.

  Although this guy is not big, his appetite is surprisingly amazing. He can even eat a crawler that is much larger than himself.

  Those poisonous black blood are deadly venom to ordinary players who have not unlocked the "iron stomach" talent, but to it it is a fine nectar.

  Looking at the "little guy" eating happily, Chu Guang, who was leaning against the elevator door, muttered to himself.

   "Eat more, let's grow up quickly... Gan, show me that I'm hungry."

   "Eeh?"

  As if he understood what he said, Yu stopped eating, reached out and grabbed a lump of black fungus and handed it over, as if wanting to share the delicious food with him.

  Looking at those big innocent eyes, Chu Guang waved his hands quickly.

   "No, no, I don't want to eat this...you can just eat when you are full."

   "Eep!"

  Yu nodded, ignored him, and continued to cheerfully gnaw on the half-gnawed creeper on the ground.

   This guy seems to think of him as a father.

   And this is what confuses Chu Guang the most.

   If I remember correctly, the first thing it sees when it wakes up is not itself, but a large group of chattering little players.

   Could it be that there is a special aura in him that makes him feel familiar?

   This discovery made Chu Guang shudder. After the little guy ate and wiped off the prey, he hurried to the infirmary for a physical examination.

  “…Didn’t you just do it a few days ago?”

  After zipping up his jacket, Chu Guang put on his clothes, and took a glance at the newly released test report from Heya.

   "Can't you just remember to do it again?"

  Heya sat on a chair beside her.

   "It's not that bad...By the way, your genetic sequence development progress hasn't changed at all during this period, so please work harder."

  Chu Guang said with a smile.

   "Aren't you afraid that I will continue to evolve and become a monster?"

"It doesn't matter. Your current physical fitness is no different from that of a monster, right? If the development progress exceeds 30%, it is basically difficult to give birth to offspring through normal means. How about thinking about test-tube babies in the future?" At the end, Heya's voice There was a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

  Chu Guang coughed lightly.

   "That's not what I care about."

"I know what you are concerned about. Don't worry, the situation you are worried about does not exist. The development of genetic sequences is only to re-express certain genes that are not expressed in DNA, and it will not make you into another Biology. Your chromosomes are still 23 pairs, and all indicators are within a reasonable range..."

   Paused, she continued in a positive tone

   "Unquestionably human."

  The expression on Chu Guang's face did not change, but he was secretly relieved.

  However, he had only relaxed for less than two seconds when Heya's next words made his nerves tense again.

   "Well... But to be honest, I did find something interesting when researching your genetic information."

  Chu Guang asked immediately.

"what have you found?"

"There are a few pieces of DNA that seem to be artificially designed, and are not included in the existing gene bank. In fact, it's not just you, all the clones in the entire shelter...or the shelter residents you call 'wanjia', or More or less, I am trying to extract these codes to build a library recently, and I may have new discoveries.”

   As she spoke, the expression on Heya's face became more and more excited, as if she was enjoying this extremely challenging subject.

  Chu Guang couldn't tell whether his mood was joyful or heavy.

  But when he learned that he was undoubtedly still human, the stone that weighed on his heart was finally let go.

   Just like that, three days have passed.

   Maybe it was because of eating a lot, or maybe it was because his "intelligence aura" buffed this half-human, half-slime-mold little guy, and now "Yu" started babbling.

   It was just the first sentence that came out of its mouth, but it almost made Chu Guang spit out all the food he ate yesterday.

   "Papa?"

  Looking at those big innocent eyes, Chu Guang coughed twice, and quickly clarified.

   "...I am not your father, your father should be a guy named Baige."

   However, the immature Yu obviously didn't understand this overly complicated monologue, and just tilted his head ignorantly.

   "Cake?"

  Chu Guang: "..."

   It's weird.

  Grandpa doesn’t seem to have taught it this word!

   Where the **** did this guy learn it?

  In addition to learning to speak, a series of other changes appeared on it.

  Includes imitating human behavior and developing an exuberant curiosity about their surroundings.

  After several times of feeding, Chu Guang found that this guy seemed to have eaten him up, so he didn't see others for a while, just screaming "嘿嘿嘿嘿咟", and it didn't work to send anyone to coax him.

  After gradually realizing this problem, Chu Guang also felt dizzy.

   It's not that he's impatient, but that he's just too busy.

   He needs to worry about the development and construction of the alliance. The battle in the west is not over yet, and the leeks in the east are still waiting for him to cut.

  He is a manager, how can he have time to be a "dad"?

   But if he left it alone and let that guy scream pitifully, Chu Guang couldn't bear it.

   What's more, it's hard to build a little trust across species. If this guy is blackened, all previous efforts will be wasted.

   At this time, Chu Guang suddenly thought that the little player named Luo Yu seemed to be resurrected.

  Rational analysis shows that "Yu" mimics "Falling Feather" as a model, and the slime mold that replaces body cells even contains his DNA.

   Isn't the sense of intimacy of "connected by blood" more direct than your own?

   "...how did I forget about this guy?"

  Chu Guang patted the back of his head, and immediately instructed Xiao Qi.

   "Xiao Qi, ask the player Luo Yu to go to the elevator entrance on the B6 floor, and I will wait for him there."

   "Alright, Master!"

   After receiving the order, Xiao Qi immediately shook him off.

   At the same time, the B3 floor of the shelter.

  After countless ups and downs, Luo Yu finally logged into the game again, just crawled out of the training cabin, when he opened his eyes, he heard an electronic sound from above his head.

   "Please take the elevator to the B6 floor immediately after the player 'Luoyu' wakes up, and talk to the manager to trigger the task."

   "Damn it!?"

  After listening to the content of the broadcast, Luo Yu held his breath for an instant, and clenched his fists excitedly.

   Hidden missions!

  BUG Compensation! ?

   "Woooooh... Brother Guang didn't forget!"

Luo Yu, who climbed out of the training cabin, immediately rushed to the door, but found that the door could not be opened. Then he realized that he forgot to put on his clothes, so he went back to the training cabin in embarrassment, took out a blue coat and put it on, and then hurried out. the door.

   Without contacting anyone, he went straight to the elevator and selected 6 on the touch panel with his index finger.

  When the elevator door opened again, seeing Luo Yu in the azure blue power armor, he immediately stood up excitedly, put his right fist on his chest, and began his performance with a loyal face.

   "My dear manager, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Of course, you came at the right time." Turning around, Chu Guang looked at him with a serious face, "The body you used before was infected by a mutant slime mold, which led to some unexpected situations... "

  In terms of setting, the core NPC of the shelter understands the player's resurrection mechanism, so Chu Guang didn't bother to make up a bunch of background settings that might be misunderstood, and directly pointed out the current situation of "Yu" to him.

  When she heard that the slime mold had made a mother body based on her own body, Luo Yu's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but blurted out "I'm blanching".

   "...boil?"

   Xiao Yu, who was standing aside, tilted her head.

  The skirt formed by the fungus squirmed slowly, and it moved to the side of Luo Yu, curiously looking at this human being exuding an aura of intimacy, and the tentacles floating on the back of the head also moved up together.

   This action also made Luo Yu tense instantly, and she was so nervous that she almost didn't retreat into the elevator.

   Seeing Luo Yu subconsciously swearing, Chu Guang coughed lightly and reminded him.

   "You...restraint a little bit, try not to teach it some strange vocabulary. Its mind is only about two or three years old of human cubs, and many things cannot be understood, and it is not convenient to understand."

   Paused, he changed into a serious tone and continued.

   "In short, this mother body born from you is very important to our research. You are the resident closest to its blood in this refuge. I hope you represent us and establish a relationship with it that is more than friendly."

   "Specifically?" Looking at the small earthworms floating around him, Luo Yu swallowed nervously unconsciously, "What...do you want me to do?"

   Seeing him and Yu get along so "harmoniously", Chu Guang showed a happy smile on his face.

   It seems that his speculation is right.

  I can finally get rid of this oil bottle.

   "Your task is very simple. You spend more time with it every day and teach it how to talk. When the time is right, you can take it outside the shelter and let it learn how to hunt."

   "But... I also have other things to do." Luo Yu looked dumbfounded, obviously full of reluctance.

   Seeing through his thoughts at the moment, Chu Guang's heart moved slightly, coughed lightly and continued.

   "According to the analysis of the alliance's researchers, 'Yu' is currently known to have the most outstanding growth and adaptability of the alien species. If it is properly cultivated, it may become a very powerful combat force..."

   When he said this, he had an indecisive expression on his face.

   "Hmm...Actually, I am also a little hesitant, whether this will be too difficult for you."

  The moment Luo Yu heard these words, Luo Yu held his breath.

etc!

  This means... this guy is the strongest battle pet on the current server! ?

   In this way, as the manager of the camp boss, it is only natural that he would hesitate.

   After all, his sequence level is not high, only hovering between T2 and T3.

  Suddenly obtaining such a powerful battle pet will undoubtedly have an impact on the balance of the game.

   At that time, there will definitely be many dogs who will yell and chop on the forum.

  Understanding this level, Luo Yu's eyes, which were full of hesitation, once again looked at Xiao Yu with burning eyes.

  Where is this tentacle monster?

   It's clearly an SSSR-level **** pet, okay?

   Maybe I can teach it to fly a plane!

   "Please rest assured and leave it to me, Master Manager!"

   Afraid that Chu Guang would regret it, Luo Yu quickly made a reliable expression, and agreed with a serious expression.

   "I will definitely live up to your expectations!"

  Chu Guang was secretly happy in his heart, but he didn't make any expression on his face. Instead, he pretended to hesitate before nodding reluctantly.

   "...Since you have said so, then please!"

  …

  The job of feeding Xiao Yu was temporarily handed over to Luo Yu.

   As for Heya, Chu Guang asked her to try to analyze from a technical level, the feasibility of using "feather" to swallow and replace the B6 layer brood, and assess the possible risks.

  The shelter system didn't give any further hints on how to use "Yu", as if it left the decision to itself.

  Chu Guang planned to let Luo Yu feed it for a while.

   After developing feelings, it is best to be able to communicate normally, and then let it try to swallow the brood on the B6 floor to see if it can replace the slime mold there, and demonstrate part of the conjecture of researcher G-13.

  If this plan is finally proven to be feasible, the alliance will not only gain a strong combat force, but it may also complete the long-cherished wish that the post-war reconstruction committee failed to realize - to counterattack the center of Qingquan City!

   At that time, the resources of the entire Qingquan City will be included in the alliance!

   Not even just Qingquan —

   All other urban agglomerations occupied by slime mold will be no problem!

  —

   (Thanks to the leaders of "World Hall" and "Stand Back—I'm going to start pretending" for the reward!!)
