Many black figures emerged from the buildings in the distance. They were all zombie ants, densely packed. There were about a hundred thousand of them. At first glance, it looked like a black tide, which was terrifying.
"Run!"
Ye Chen's expression changed slightly as he shouted.
Xiao Hei was shocked to see so many zombie ants. Even if the Blood-toothed Tiger had the strength of a thousand people, it would still die without a complete corpse when surrounded by more than a hundred thousand zombie ants, not to mention that the Blood-toothed Tiger had the strength of five hundred people.
Whoosh!
The Blood-toothed Tiger bent its four legs slightly and rushed forward. Its figure flashed and disappeared at the end of the street. At this time, the group of zombies rushed to the candy that had not completely melted, greedily fighting for it.
"That was close!"
Ye Chen sat on the back of the tiger and sped forward. Only the sound of the wind could be heard. Thinking of the horrifying scene just now, he still had lingering fears. The ant beast tide was one of the most terrifying disasters. Wherever it passed, corpses would be everywhere. Even people who were far stronger than the ant beasts would not dare to charge into the tide of more than a hundred thousand ants. If they were not careful and got entangled, they would immediately be drowned.
In his previous life, the largest Ant Beast Tide that Ye Chen had ever seen was hundreds of millions of Ant Beasts. Under the command of a King Ant Beast, the Ant Beasts attacked a Level-10 Base City and started a life-and-death battle.
In that war, there were countless casualties. Even many Super Rank-5 Super Overlords had fallen. The scene was terrifying. In the end, they had to launch a large number of nuclear weapons to blast open a path for the ant beasts. In the end, they won the war under the other base cities of the Alliance with great difficulty.
Half an hour later, the Blood-toothed Tiger carried Ye Chen back to the research institute.
Ye Chen jumped down from the tiger's back and walked into the research institute with the dying Butterfly Beast in his hand. At this time, the White Dragon, Yue Heng, and the others had already gotten up and were brushing their teeth and washing their faces.
"Eh?" The White Dragon looked at the butterfly beast in Ye Chen's hand in surprise and said, "You went out so early?"
Ye Chen looked around and casually asked, "Where's Ye Zhu?"
The White Dragon pointed to the kitchen and said, "They're still making breakfast."
"Oh."
Ye Chen nodded and turned to walk into the basement. He immediately saw Mo Feng researching something. He walked over and placed the butterfly beast on his workbench. He tilted his head to look at Mo Feng and saw him holding a test tube in his hand and adding a white liquid into it.
Hiss!
As soon as the white liquid was added, the original blue liquid in the test tube boiled like white water. Then, it quickly calmed down and the color turned black.
Mo Feng frowned. He closed the bottle and threw it into the trash can at the side. He turned to look at the butterfly beast and frowned. "What?"
Ye Chen chuckled and said, "Help me extract its genes. I have a use for them."
Mo Feng glanced at him and said, "Every time you face danger, you will enter a strange state. In that state, your eyes will be pure black without any white. Moreover, two antennae will grow on your forehead. If I'm not wrong, it's the fusion of the ant's genes that you asked me to extract last time, right?"
Ye Chen said frankly, "That's right. This state is called the superhuman state. Strength multiplies!"
Mo Feng nodded and did not say anything else. He put on a white glove and walked towards the butterfly beast to extract the genes.
Not long after, the gene extraction was completed and placed in a test tube. Mo Feng handed it to Ye Chen. Then, he continued his experiment as if no one else was around.
Ye Chen took the test tube and came to the living room. He saw that everyone was eating breakfast. There was porridge, milk, and fried eggs. One for each person.
"Brother!" Ye Zhu saw him and said with a smile, "Come for breakfast."
Ye Chen nodded and walked over. He drank a few bowls of porridge and then said to his sister, Ye Zhu, "Come with me."
Ye Zhu was stunned for a moment. There was some doubt in her eyes, but she did not ask. She got up and followed him. White Dragon and the others glanced at them and then continued to eat their breakfast. Although everyone was together, they still had their little secrets. Since Ye Chen did not plan to say it in front of them, they would be asking for a snub if they kept asking.
After walking into the room, Ye Chen closed the door and looked at his sister, Ye Zhu.
"What's wrong?" Ye Zhu asked in confusion.
Ye Chen handed the Butterfly Beast gene to her and said solemnly, "This is a set of Butterfly Beast gene cells. I will inject it into your body later. Once it fuses, you will have extremely strong power. Even if you are alone, you will be able to protect yourself."
Ye Zhu was stunned and said, "Are you leaving me?"
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "We are going to an extremely dangerous place. Before that, I will be more at ease if you become stronger."
"I see."
Ye Zhu heaved a sigh of relief. Then, she blinked and asked curiously, "This is the Butterfly Beast gene. Can I fuse with it too?"
Ye Chen nodded and said, "In theory, yes. But it is extremely difficult to put it into practice. There is a chance of failure. Once you fail, you will turn into a monster or die.
If you succeed, you will gain immense power and become a superhuman warrior! "
"So dangerous." Ye Zhu was shocked.
Ye Chen said helplessly, "Wealth comes from danger. In the later stage of the apocalypse, if you don't become a superhuman warrior, you will die easily. You will be far behind other people. If you are not killed by humans, you will be eaten by monsters."
Ye Zhu shuddered. But she also knew that with the development of the apocalypse, the future would only be crueler.
The future …
When she thought of this word, her heart felt heavy. It was as if several stones were pressing down on her.
"Open it!"
Ye Zhu rolled up her sleeves, revealing a jade-white arm. She had a look of awe-inspiring righteousness.
Ye Chen smiled and took out a syringe from his pocket. He sucked the gene cells into it and injected it into Ye Zhu's arm.
Although the process of awakening superhuman was extremely dangerous, the mortality rate was as high as 80%!
But how could Ye Chen let his sister take the risk?
For so many days, he had let his sister Ye Zhu dissect zombie corpses. It was to train her courage and willpower. In addition, this butterfly beast only had the strength of 50 people. Its cells were weaker than hers by 30 people. At most, it would be devoured by her cells and fail the awakening. But it would be safe and would not become a monster or die.
"Don't fall asleep. Don't relax." Ye Chen said.
Ye Zhu nodded and sat on the bed next to her. After a moment, the butterfly beast gene cells that entered her body began to take effect. Like a virus, it integrated into her body and devoured her cells. It was trying to take over.
The two gene cells were fighting in the body!
Without experiencing it, it was impossible to imagine what kind of pain it was. It was as if millions of ants were devouring the flesh and blood of the whole body. Every inch of the skin felt like it was going to break!
Pain!
Pain!
Pain!
The intense pain was enough to make anyone go crazy and knock their head against the wall to pass out.
Ye Zhu's face was pale. She gritted her teeth and her whole body was drenched in cold sweat. Her beautiful face was twisted together in pain. Her delicate and pretty face was slightly distorted, making people feel pity for her.
Ye Chen held her hand and said, "Do your best!
You can definitely do it. Do your best! "
Perhaps Ye Chen's words had an effect, or perhaps the butterfly beast gene in her body was tired. Not long after, the pain on Ye Zhu's face subsided. Her body stopped trembling. She forced herself to open her eyes. In front of her was a face that had never left. She opened her mouth slightly, "Brother …" Her head tilted and she fainted.
Ye Chen checked her pulse. Seeing that it was beating steadily, he heaved a sigh of relief. He placed her on the bed and covered her with a blanket before walking out of the room.
…
The next day.
Ye Zhu slowly woke up from her coma. Feeling dizzy, she forced herself to sit up on the bed. She saw that the room was cold and there was not a single person in sight. She was stunned for a while before shaking her head and preparing to get up and walk out.
Creak!
At this moment, the door opened. Ye Chen walked in with a bowl of porridge. Looking at her face, he saw that she had regained her rosy complexion. He chuckled, "You're awake?"
Ye Zhu felt a warmth in her heart. Thinking of what happened last night, she hurriedly took a look at her body. Seeing that nothing strange had grown, she heaved a sigh of relief. She could not help but ask, "Did I successfully awaken?"
Ye Chen smiled and nodded, "It was very successful."
Ye Zhu's eyes lit up. She exclaimed, "Really?"
Ye Chen chuckled, "Do you feel that there's something strange in your body now? It's like there's something extra in your body. As long as you use your mind, you can activate it?"
Ye Zhu sensed it and nodded, "Yes!
That's right. "
"The next time you encounter danger, you can control this power to protect yourself. But remember, don't activate it unless it's a matter of life and death. This is because you can only activate it for five minutes a day. If you use it too much, you won't be able to use it again if you encounter danger later."
"Yes, yes!" Ye Zhu nodded.
Next, Ye Chen explained to her about Superman. She was dumbfounded. She said, "It can be like this? That's really powerful."
She blinked and said excitedly, "What about me?
Can I turn into a butterfly beast when I reach Superhuman Rank Five? "
Ye Chen nodded.
"What about during normal times?
According to what you said, to reach Superhuman Rank Five, I need a 100% fusion of two genes. Doesn't that mean that I'll become a monster that's neither human nor butterfly? "
Ye Chen smiled and said, "That won't be the case. You'll only become a butterfly beast when you enter Superhuman Mode. After you deactivate Superhuman Mode, you'll return to your human appearance."
"Let's say."
"The human body's genes are equal to two 1s. Then, the gene in the butterfly beast's body is equal to one 1. When its one 1 fuses with your one 1, it becomes a Superhuman Gene 1.
When you enter Superhuman Mode, it's the time when Superhuman Gene 1 covers your entire body.
And during normal times, it's the time when the remaining 1 human gene covers your entire body. "
Ye Zhu nodded as if she understood.
…
Everyone, let's put in more effort and charge up!
