At this time, the genes injected into Ye Chen's body began to take effect and began to squirm slowly. A dry heat spread from his abdomen to his entire body, circulating through his limbs and bones. Drops of crystal-clear sweat overflowed from his pores. His whole body was drenched in sweat, and his clothes stuck tightly to his skin. It was extremely uncomfortable.
In his body, the originally almost transparent white genes were quickly covered by a layer of black genes. The two genes were entangled with each other, trying to devour each other. However, because they were almost the same, a stalemate was formed for a while.
Scientists believed that fusing with monster genes to become a superhuman warrior that only existed in movies could succeed in theory. However, it had never been successful in practice.
In many research institutes, similar experiments were carried out on criminals who had been sentenced to death. The genes of animals such as mice were injected into the criminals' bodies in an attempt to mutate the criminals and become another kind of lifeform — superhuman!
However, how difficult and incredible was it to fuse two different genes into one?
Most of the criminals swallowed the genes of the mice and there was no change. There were also people who were swallowed by the genes of the mice, causing their genetic chain to collapse and they died directly.
As a veteran who had survived in the apocalypse for ten years, Ye Chen knew that it was not possible to become a superhuman warrior in a short period of time.
Superhumans were divided into five stages!
Superhuman Level One: 20% fusion genes!
Superhuman Level Two: 40% fusion genes!
Superhuman Level Three...
By analogy, only when one reached Superhuman Level Five could it be considered a perfect fusion and become a special kind of human with genetic mutation.
The entanglement of the two genes in his body made Ye Chen feel as if millions of ants were biting his body. The pain was unbearable. It was as if every inch of his skin was broken. The pain affected his nerves. His whole body was drenched in cold sweat, and the veins on his forehead were protruding.
Endure!
Ye Chen gritted his teeth so hard that they made cracking sounds. His muscles tightened and his body trembled slightly. However, he endured the tearing pain with all his might.
In the dead of night, in this quiet room, his ears were buzzing. Other than the intense pain, he couldn't feel anything else. He only felt that every second was as long as a century. It was as if there was a voice in his heart that kept saying, "Sleep, sleep, sleep, sleep, you won't be in pain when you're asleep …"
Sleep?
When he awakened as a superhuman warrior, once he fell asleep, he would never wake up.
As the tearing sensation increased, the voice also became more and more enticing. It was as if a young girl was waving her hand, making people want to run over and ignore everything else. They just wanted to throw away all their worries and pain.
This world is so painful, why are you still unwilling to fall?
Ye Chen was still struggling. His eyes were fixed on the photo in his hand. He looked at the pair of amiable middle-aged women and the cute little girl on the left. He didn't know where the strength came from, but it made him clench his teeth. When he was about to faint from the pain, he bit the tip of his tongue to wake himself up.
A few minutes later, not only did the tearing pain not recede, but it became even more intense. Ye Chen's facial muscles involuntarily twitched under the intense pain. Every inch of his skin was trembling as if it couldn't bear it and was about to collapse.
If he held on for one more second, perhaps it would pass.
Ye Chen kept repeating this sentence in his mind, giving himself more motivation to persevere. However, as the seconds passed, the pain continued to increase.
"Boom …"
Ye Chen suddenly felt a buzzing sound in his mind. Immediately, his consciousness fell into a blank. At this time, his body also relaxed. The two genes in his body were entangled and gradually reached a balance.
They began to fuse …
1% …
2% …
3% …
Bit by bit, they fused. This process was extremely slow, and Ye Chen could no longer feel it. At this time, he had already fainted when the two genes finally erupted and fought.
Fortunately, the two genes reached a balance at the moment he fainted. Otherwise, if they continued to fight, without the suppression of his will, the two genes would quickly determine the winner. In the end, the gene chain would collapse and his body would turn into a pool of blood.
…
"Brother, brother."
The bright sunlight shone in from the window. Ye Chen only felt a sharp pain in his body. Before he opened his eyes, he heard a familiar voice. He couldn't help but feel a trace of surprise in his heart. He opened his eyes and looked. A delicate and pretty face slowly became clear in front of him. Her face was full of concern.
Success?
Ye Chen sat up from the bed. He was pleasantly surprised to see that there was no extra body on his body. He couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Shortly after, he sensed his body. Immediately, he felt that there was a kind of power flowing in his body like water. It was as if with a thought, it could move according to his consciousness.
Ye Chen clenched his fist. Although his strength didn't increase, he could clearly feel that there was a terrifying power hidden in his body. Once it was stimulated, it would be extremely powerful!
"Brother, what happened to you?" Sister Ye Zhu looked at him strangely.
Ye Chen came back to his senses. Because the heavy burden in his heart was finally lifted, he was in a good mood. He smiled and said, "Nothing. Are you here to deliver breakfast?"
As he said that, he looked at the steaming hot breakfast on the table. There were two fried eggs and a cup of milk.
"I found this in the storage room of the research institute. Your injuries haven't healed yet. It's not good to eat too much meat."
Ye Zhu didn't think much about it. She smiled like a hundred flowers blooming. She turned around and brought the breakfast on the table to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen took the breakfast and ate it. Then he got out of bed and said, "I'm full. Let's move around a bit."
Ye Zhu frowned and said, "Your body hasn't healed yet. Don't aggravate the wound."
Ye Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry. I'm just going to walk around the research institute. I won't go out."
Ye Zhu was relieved and nodded, "I'll accompany you."
The two of them walked out of the door together.
…
In the next few days, Ye Chen was recuperating in the research institute. After seven or eight days, the wound on his stomach and the bloodstains on his back had healed and formed scars.
In these few days, Ye Chen ordered White Dragon and others not to leave the research institute. Now the monsters outside were much stronger. They were far from what they could resist.
In the post-apocalyptic world, the number of deaths was the highest in the early stages. Especially in the first month, when the apocalypse had just arrived. People couldn't get used to it and were easily killed by zombies.
In the second month, the monsters became even stronger. Many people who had the ability to survive died tragically.
In the third month, bases were built all over the world. Many strong people who had evolved in the virus were stationed there. This greatly reduced the human mortality rate.
Ye Chen still remembered that in the later stages of the apocalypse, the world was divided into three camps: humans, monsters, and dark creatures.
Humans were naturally the survivors.
Monsters were the animals that evolved in the virus.
Dark creatures were zombies.
Dark Calendar Year 1, February 7th.
In the research institute, Ye Chen got up early and put on the soft leather armor sewn with the fur of the Devil Wind Hound. It was padded with a layer of cotton cloth. It was extremely soft. Even if he sweated, the leather armor wouldn't stick to his body.
The fur of the Devil Wind Hound was extremely hard. Ordinary knives couldn't cut it.
After putting on the armor, Ye Chen found a fire axe in the research institute. This was currently the best weapon.
Holding the light fire axe, Ye Chen couldn't help but miss the Blood Thunder Blade that he had refined seven times with lightning in his previous life.
"You've recovered?" Ye Zhu, who was delivering breakfast, saw Ye Chen's armor and couldn't help but be surprised.
Ye Chen smiled and nodded. "I've recovered. Let's start hunting monsters today."
Ye Zhu looked at him suspiciously and removed the soft leather armor he was wearing. When she saw the scar on his abdomen, she was relieved and said, "Then let's eat breakfast first."

Today's recommendation votes were a little low. Brothers, do your best!
