Super Species Player

Chapter 230 The Source of Catastrophe in "The End of the Hungry Ghosts"

The first thing Jiang Qian opened was the experimental notes locked in the drawer.

Since the pen was under house arrest in the item bar and could not be used, the process of unlocking the lock became a combination of psychic vision and fangs. The whole process was only a little easier than peeling off a thousand layers of flower buds without damaging it.

After wiping off the excess venom (saliva), Jiang Qian slowly opened the drawer and took out the experimental notes.

The notebook was heavy and heavy and had been used for most of it. Jiang Qian hid under the table and turned on the battery flashlight and began to retrieve the memory page by page.

This came easily to him.

Soon, a genetic code that appeared three times was quickly marked by Jiang Qian.

All future experimental records will revolve around this genetic code, which means that it is always the same.

Jiang Qian went back further and confirmed the page number where the gene code first appeared.

The recorder habitually marked the date on this page: October 13th (October 13th)

He clearly remembered that in the drug supplies entry and exit list he had seen in the infirmary, the names of multiple psychotropic drugs were entered under the same date...

Jiang Qian thoughtfully closed the notebook, placed it on the table, and continued to look at other contents in the drawer.

Basically they are Elizabeth’s personal belongings:

Notes, letterheads, and broken pages of books and magazines that recorded different experimental contents... Jiang Qian patiently flipped through them to retrieve the important content.

Suddenly, a photo of Elizabeth and a white-haired old man came into Jiang Qian's eyes.

Elizabeth in the photo is slightly younger than she is now, with a smile on her face, clear and translucent eyes, and no sense of sophistication; while the old man next to her has a stiff expression and sunken eye sockets, as if she is not in a good condition.

Turning over the back of the photo, there is a line of small words written on it: Miss you forever.

There was no signature or other title, which made Jiang Qian a little curious for a moment.

He couldn't help but associate this mysterious old man with the name that appeared most frequently in several published papers that Elizabeth had cut out and saved. That name belonged to a biologist who had written a lot - Kate.

This name also appeared on a highlighted book list, among which a book titled "The Miracle of Genes" was marked as important and urgent. In the brackets at the back, the words "City Library" are written.

Jiang Qian emphatically read the information related to "Kate" twice more:

"Dr. Kate, a leading scientist in the field of biology and genetic engineering, has focused on research in the field of genetic variation for more than 40 years..."

Jiang Qian examined the concise introduction to Kate in the material, and suddenly a copy prompt sounded in his ears:

[Tip: The core character of "Source of Catastrophe" has been retrieved: Dr. Kate! Side mission exploration progress: 25%]

"?"

The exploration progress of the side mission suddenly advanced from 0 to 1/4, which surprised Jiang Qian.

Is it necessary to "dictate" the content to be retrieved by the copy... After coming up with this concept, Jiang Qian cleared his throat, lowered his voice and dictated all the previous discoveries including genetic coding, mysterious dates, input of psychiatric drugs, key books and other information. , but the progress of the branch line did not continue to advance.

"It seems it's not complete enough."

Jiang Qian silently kept this information in mind. After restoring the objects to their original positions, he stood up and went to the safe where the medicine was stored.

This safe uses a combination lock, which cannot be easily opened with fangs.

Fortunately, Jiang Qian had psychic vision and saw everything when Elizabeth entered the password, so the opening process was smoother than prying open a drawer.

The special container was opened, and the sealed potions appeared in front of Jiang Qian one by one.

All numbers correspond to those in the experiment notes.

The dark green potion was floating in the closed test tube, flashing some kind of dangerous signal in the dim light.

Jiang Qian chose one from among them, opened it, and took a sniff:

"Well, just a little bit is fine. You shouldn't be able to tell, right?"

As he spoke, Jiang Qian tried to insert his fangs into the test tube, preparing to taste the "poison" himself...

…

A thin but eye-catching figure flashed near the dusty city library, wearing an orange sports suit and goggles.

Canyon Laoliu has returned to its original state of not finding an organization, being hungry and cold, and struggling to feed itself.

In the past few days, he watched the city library from a distance. Under the crazy attack of the anteater army, the core of the "ant nest" was exposed!

A large number of bullet ants of different types were killed in pieces, leaving behind black corpses.

In the end, the anteater army passed the test and finally successfully intercepted the escaped "ant queen"! And eats the plump queen ant in a wild way...

Watching the whole process made Canyon Lao Liu drool.

He ate the dry food left over from home-cooked dishes in the Northeast, endured the strange feeling of hunger, and quietly followed the anteater army, hoping to see who they were and what their purpose was.

As a result, I soon witnessed the opponent attacking a human settlement...

Bloody, brutal, and heinous.

They select healthy and high-energy humans in settlements, infect humans through bites, and expand their armaments.

Seeing this scene, Canyon Lao Liu no longer had the courage to approach this group of "crazy people". Instead, he found his way back to the library, hoping to find out why the group of anteaters attacked the ant nest in the library; and the anteaters who had just breached the library The ant beast army is still having fun in human settlements, and it is obvious that they have no interest in revisiting their old places.

When Canyon Lao Liu returned, all the leaderless crawlers had dispersed, and the city library was able to regain its former silence.

Canyon Lao Liu was avoiding the crawler corpses on the road while thinking about the way to survive in the "Hungry Ghost Apocalypse" dungeon:

"That group of half-animal anteaters has obviously become a third species, becoming the common antagonist of reptiles and humans. They are at the top of the food chain, and they strengthen themselves and expand their ranks through constant hunting."

According to Canyon Laoliu's observation and speculation, there should be only one true super-species player in the Anteater Legion, and the rest of the members are the result of super-evolution after humans were infected.

This player cleverly hides among the anteater army, giving orders to the infected army that has grown stronger due to infection, to achieve his own goals.

"Currently, it seems that they have strong mobility and purpose. They seem to have mastered the advanced methods of the chosen 'way of survival' and are constantly 'upgrading'..."

"For them, the way to solve their hunger is simple and crude, and it is nothing more than eating whatever they can catch! They act completely in accordance with their nature, are self-centered, do whatever they want, and use the dungeon world as a back cook... This method is too cruel! Written in The guide always feels disgraceful, but if you don’t choose, others will take up all the resources..."

In the process of entanglement, Canyon Lao Liu has penetrated deep into the ant nest.

The surrounding bookcases are in dilapidated condition. Some of them have been used as paving bricks, while others have become a breeding ground for young ants. Most of the books can no longer be seen in their original condition.

Canyon Lao Liu walked aimlessly through stacks of dilapidated books, thinking about multiple-choice questions about "how to survive."

Suddenly, when he was passing by two piles of corroded and rotting bookcases, a dungeon side mission prompt appeared!

"The source of disaster...?"

This was the first time that the dungeon actively contacted him after announcing the coordinates of the players on the first day.

Canyon Lao Liu suddenly became excited!

…

The dark green liquid in the test tube is colorless and odorless, but it is full of complex biological toxins.

But this level of poison is not complicated for the three-state fusion super species, let alone fatal. Jiang Qian tasted the medicine in every closed test tube in one go.

Comparing the venom previously absorbed from the three infected people, it was found that there was a high degree of overlap in the poisons between the two.

But the actual purpose of Elizabeth's set of potions is to restore the crawlers to humans; the toxins in the infected people are obviously promoting the transformation of humans into dangerous species!

How could this sequence and the reverse turn out to be similar things?

Jiang Qian tried to find out the reason for this sense of inconsistency through his unique sense of poison and the perspective of copies:

"Perhaps the key to infection or transformation does not lie in the drug at all..."

Jiang Qian's mind whirled with the words "source of disaster" over and over again, and suddenly he had an idea.
