Before the collapse of civilization, the wife is a snake

"What are you in a hurry for? Clothes won't run away in the store, and..."

Ling Xi grabbed Alicia's arm directly, and said with a grumpy smile, "No matter how urgent you are, you have to finish the cake first, right?"

"Actually, it's like walking while eating..."

Alicia complained a little, but sat down again, ready to leave after eating.

"Meow……"

At this time, a kitten that appeared from nowhere suddenly approached, stopped at Alicia's feet, and gently rubbed against her shoes.

"Wow, what a cute kitten, do you want to eat it too?"

Seeing the kitten, Alicia immediately felt so cute, and even prepared to give it some cake.

"Meow wow..."

As a result, Ling Xi kicked suddenly, even though it was just a casual kick, he kicked the little cat away. With a scream, the little cat ran away quickly although it was not injured.

"What are you doing?"

Alicia was a little confused by Ling Xi's kick.

"Don't let it touch you, Alicia."

Ling Xi seemed concerned and said, "This is a stray cat, dirty."

"Well... But even if this is the case, then you shouldn't kick her, can't we just leave?"

Alicia didn't want to refute Ling Xi's claim that it was a stray cat, but she always felt that it was inappropriate for Ling Xi to kick people away like this, and it was just a kitten after all.

"Hmm..."

Ling Xi thought for a while, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, I won't do this again next time."

Alicia "..."

Alicia didn't know what to say about this, she just felt that...

Ling Xi seems to be a little different from before, but she can't tell what is different, in short, it's just a feeling...

Although I am now with Ling Xi every day, I feel that Ling Xi is becoming more and more strange.

However, this was just a short episode, and the two of them continued to go shopping, regardless of this kitten who was just passing by...

……

"Alicia, why did you come here?"

The next day, in the laboratory, Mebius looked curiously at the goblin lady who came to look for him.

"Huh, hide for a while..."

Alicia sat silently on the chair and sighed, "I don't know what to say, but... Ling Xi..."

"Hmm... I don't know if this is a side effect of merging the Honkai Beast's gene, but now he comes to me every day, I..."

Alicia rubbed her forehead, "Although I know that I am very attractive and Ling Xi can't hold it, I can understand it, but... too often, it doesn't matter after he fuses the Honkai Beast gene, but I still The human constitution."

"Hmm, are there any side effects..."

Hearing Alicia's words, Mebius also thought about it a little bit. This matter... In fact, she had been thinking about it for a long time, because she only went back three days ago, and then she was in the same state as Alicia. The state was about the same.

"maybe."

Mebius smiled helplessly, "After all, Shesha's ability is rapid recovery and rebirth, so... I think this is also the reason for Ling Xi's inexhaustible physical strength, and... it may be because of the ability of rapid recovery, so After he sweats, he recovers quickly."

"Then think of a way."

Alicia didn't want to hear the reason now, she just asked Mebius to help solve this matter quickly, and hummed, "If this continues, I will become an existence that cannot be provoked sooner or later, after all, as soon as that guy sees me now If you want to lean in, you can't hide, and..."

Speaking of this, Alicia looked a little serious, and continued, "I don't know if it's my illusion. Recently, I feel that Ling Xi seems to be getting more and more indifferent to other things, especially yesterday, when we met Here comes a kitten that slipped away."

"A kitten?"

Mebius immediately laughed and said, "Then Ling Xi probably likes it quite a bit. When we came to Mu Dalu for a meeting, we even went to feed the pigeons together, and turned around to buy food for some stray cats and dogs. He also I really like animals."

Alicia "..."

"But……"

Alicia said calmly, "Yesterday when Ling Xi saw the kitten approaching my feet, he kicked it away..."

Mebius "???"

"You...are you serious?"

Obviously, Mebius couldn't believe it. After all, Ling Xi likes to pet cats very much, and he treats Xi'er as a cat from time to time. If there is a kitten approaching, that guy shouldn't be very fond of it. Twice, even if it is a stray cat, Ling Xi may not touch it, but it is absolutely impossible to kick it over, this...

So, even though Mebius knew that Alicia was unlikely to lie to herself about this kind of thing, she still didn't believe it.

Chapter 262: Klein, danger...

"Do I have to lie to you about this? And..."

Alicia said silently, "Although Ling Xi is still the same to me and Xi'er as before, very gentle and patient, but...except for the few of us, when Ling Xi faces others, I feel I'm a little scared, although I know he won't hurt me, but just seeing Ling Xi's eyes makes me feel a little terrified."

"The point is, Ling Xi has been... no, almost every day she has a chance to pester me to do that kind of thing, but I can't refuse, I..."

In the end, Alicia also sighed, "Anyway, I really don't know what to do now..."

"Shesha..."

After making sure that Alicia was not joking, Mebius also quickly guessed the reason.

"Hmm... this is probably because Shesha's body is a snake."

Mebius continued to explain calmly, "The nature of the snake already has that aspect, even after it evolves into a Houkai beast, it will retain the original habits of the species, and Ling Xi has implanted the gene of Shesha, so it should be Affected by the Houkai gene, and..."

"Snakes are cold-blooded animals. Although cold-blooded here is cold-blooded in the physical sense, I think this is also the reason for Ling Xi's recent change in temperament."

"I said, I don't want to hear an explanation, you should find a way."

Alicia stretched her waist and snorted, "Anyway, if you don't want to find a solution, then I'll... take a casual trip, and once I'm gone, hmph... then Ling Xi can only I'm here to find you."

"Pfft...cough..."

Mebius was almost choked, shit, can he still threaten himself like this?

However, Mebius really didn't dare to let Alicia leave, after all, the side effects of Ling Xi's implantation of the Honkai gene had already begun to manifest, and...

The matter seems to be a little more serious than imagined. At first, I thought that it only affected Ling Xi's physical condition, but now it seems... Shesha seems to have begun to affect Ling Xi's mentality, at least...

In Alicia's view, Ling Xi has really become much colder than before.

"Okay, Alicia, let's go back together tonight."

After hesitating for a while, Mebius still felt that it was necessary to solve the problem. Ling Xi's mind could not be influenced too much for the time being, but at least Alicia's problem had to be solved. After all, Ling Xi's current combat power, Alicia really can't stand it alone.

At least……

To share the firepower, and then find a way to help Ling Xi modify some genes, so as to solve this problem from the source!

Because, whether it is the change of Ling Xi's personality or Ling Xi's seemingly inexhaustible physical strength, the source is Shesha's gene, so as long as I can help Ling Xi suppress more manifestations of Shesha gene, then Ling Xi Nozomi should be able to return to normal state.

Although it doesn't mean that Ling Xi is abnormal now, it's just that Alicia can't bear it.

As for who to ask to help share the firepower... Mebius naturally has someone in mind.

"Klein."

Thinking of this, Mebius decisively called his tool man Klein.

"Well, doc, do you have any orders?"

Less than five seconds after Mebius called, Klein walked in from the door, still holding a bunch of data sheets in her hand. Obviously she was still working just now, but when she heard Mebius' voice After that, he came over immediately.

"Actually, it's nothing. I'm going home tonight. Do you want to go back together?"

Mebius looked at Klein with a smile.

"go back……"

Klein thought for a while and said, "Doctor, we still have a lot of projects to finish, so I still won't go back. In addition... Actually, I also suggest that the doctor should not go back. Your project has been postponed for three days. gone."

"Hey...cough cough, don't pay attention to these details."

Mebius coughed lightly. After all, it was a bit embarrassing for him to be exposed in front of others that the project was still delayed.

Klein "..."

"Ahem, it's like this, Klein, I'm going to conduct a new experiment at home tonight, and I need your help, so..."

Mebius hugged Klein lightly, and said in an extremely gentle but undeniable tone, "Klein, you...you want to go home with me!"

"Uh... yes, doctor."

Although Klein felt that he shouldn't put down his work and go back to rest, but there was no way, who made this the doctor's arrangement?

"Hey, I knew Klein was the best..."

Mebius hugged Klein happily. With Klein, the plan for tonight...well, just ask you, how did the flying dragon lose?

Alicia "..." Wait, Klein?Maybe Mebius is planning to...

Alicia suddenly thought of a possibility, but this kind of behavior was immoral and incorrect, although Alicia knew very well that as long as it was ordered by Mebius, Klein would definitely go to Do, after all, this girl's personality is always like this, but...

Forget it, as long as Klein has no objections, then this matter is actually fine, maybe...

A month ago, I might have worried that there would be too many people and the cake would not be enough, but now it seems...why is it not enough?It's obvious that he can't eat anymore, but Ling Xi insists on stuffing it in his mouth, okay?

That's all, anyway, it's still unknown how long human beings can last. Now... live in the moment, wouldn't it be better to be happy?

Moreover, I really can't bear Ling Xi's love, so...

Alicia didn't express any opinions other than complaining in her heart.

"Then doctor, I'll go and sort out today's information first."

Now that he decided to go home, Klein must have made preparations in advance, otherwise when he and the doctor have left, the staff who maintain the laboratory will not understand what to do?

"Well, let's go."

Mebius also nodded, motioning for Klein to hurry.

After Klein left the laboratory, Mebius immediately returned to the test bench, took out a piece of paper, wrote some materials and handed them to Alicia, "Alicia, please go there Materials room, help me get these materials back."

"No problem, but what are you going to do?"

Alicia took the note and found that it was written on some materials with complicated names. I knew them all without salary, but I couldn't make sense of them together. There was also a material with a long name, what was it called [ Type [-] phosphodiesterase inhibitor], what the hell is this?

"It's nothing, just a little medicine that can stabilize Ling Xi's mood."

Mebius smiled slightly, but obviously did not tell the truth

Alicia "..." If you don't say it, don't say it, I will ask Du Niang...

Chapter 263: Why is there no antidote for that medicine?

"Well, all right."

After more than 15 minutes, Mebius got the freshly pressed pill. Of course, this is not the kind of material that Alicia took at the beginning, but a medicine with more excellent effects.

After all, if Ling Xi is really given the emotional stability medicine before, even if it is not really a life, this is not a joke. Ling Xi is also a human being fused with the gene of the Honkai Beast, and his body has long been unable to recover. Use normal humans as a reference.

So, in the end, Mebius changed his strategy and planned to use it on his good sister. Besides, Ling Xi still has the side effect of the Shesha gene, and she will react just by looking at Alicia, so He probably won't be able to use it.

"Does this stuff really work?"

Watching Mebius prepare ten pills, Alicia seemed a little curious.

"Of course there is, and it's... miraculous."

Mebius also smiled slightly, and said, "Do you know why in martial arts novels, most poisons have antidote, but this drug has no antidote?"

"Um...it must have been arranged by Author Gou in order to advance the plot, right?"

Alicia rubbed her chin and said thoughtfully, "After all, most of the writers who hit the streets are poor and single, so they don't know how to write emotional dramas, and when they can't continue writing , directly arrange for a villain to drug the heroine, and then the hero will appear, so that the plot can advance."

"Hey... I don't deny that there is such an element, but this setting also has a scientific basis."

Mebius rubbed his forehead and said with a smile, "Because poison is poison, most of which are chemical toxins targeting human blood and cells, and this kind of medicine is easy to find a solution, but... this kind of medicine , it is not a poison, but a molecule that can directly act on the activity of dopamine neurotransmitters, as for what dopamine is, I will not explain it, you should be very clear.”

"For example, [big double bed] is based on this principle. It skips the normal pathway and directly acts on the secretion of dopamine, allowing humans to obtain unparalleled pleasure. The drug in my hand is equivalent to temporarily allowing users to I am addicted to something, and there is currently no way to suppress it with drugs. In addition, the residual chemical molecules will have some side effects, such as..."

Mebius blinked and said with a smile, "I would like this kind of thing more, of course, this effect will disappear completely in less than a week, Alicia, would you like to have a taste?" taste?"

Alicia "..." God damn, taste it?
