1190 Infection and Mutation
Wangnet frowned.
At this moment, he felt lucky that he didn’t choose to fight head-on with Fang Heng just now.
The density of the dark serpents below was too high.
Relying on the hundreds of Lickers to kill them all was not enough.
Under such circumstances, the moment he was surrounded, unless he used his Tier 3 mutant ability, he would not be able to escape easily.
On the side, Qiu Yaokang, who had been scribbling in his notebook, suddenly made a discovery. He frowned.
Qiu Yaokang raised his head and said, “Everyone, the dark serpent here is not an ordinary one.” Everyone looked at Qiu Yaokang.
“When I first saw this type of serpent, I noticed something strange about it. Their blood had no reaction to the blackthorn, so I collected their blood for a simple examination. I discovered that the dark serpent’s blood is different from the blood of most ordinary snake-type creatures.”
Qiu Yaokang glanced at Wangnet and continued, “There’s no detailed testing equipment here. I can only do a preliminary examination and deduction. The final accuracy rate is less than 90%. I’ll give it to everyone as a reference.”
Sandy said, “Genius Qiu, stop talking about the percentage. Just tell me the conclusion. I believe everything you say.”
“Yes, the conclusion is that I also detected a medium level of virus reaction in the dark serpent’s body.”
Fang Heng’s heart skipped a beat when he heard that and almost blurted out, “You mean the infected body?”
“Yes, that’s right.” Qiu Yaokang nodded and continued, “It’s a virus of the same origin as the Hila virus.”
Qiu Yaokang then looked at Sandy and continued, “Other than that, the air here also contains a small amount of the virus. Long-term exposure to the virus has a small chance of infection, so you must be careful.”
“Ha?”
Sandy pointed at his own nose with a puzzled look, “Me? Why do you only want me to be careful?”
“I’ve been injected with a gene enhancer. The enhancer was developed from the zombie virus, so I have some antibodies to the virus. As for the three of them, they were originally infected with the same virus, and you have the weakest resistance to the virus.”
“I… This is also okay…”
Sandy could not help but recall the time when everyone in the prison was injected with the enhancement potions.
Ever since he was young, Sandy had an inexplicable fear of needles.
“No, I don’t want the needle anyway. I’m not like you, I have the protection of the God of Art.”
Qiu Yaokang didn’t comment. He took out a palm-sized testing device from his backpack and explained, “This is an instrument that can detect the virus content in the air. I asked Victor to make it before, but due to the production conditions, its index is not very sensitive, and it can only measure roughly.”
“We can see that the current virus content index has not reached the warning limit, but it is already very high.”
Qiu Yaokang looked down at the mutated dark serpents that were being slaughtered by the Lickers.
“The virus content in their blood has far exceeded the limit. The dark serpent’s blood will probably greatly increase the probability of infection.”
The game prompt appeared in Fang Heng and Tang Mingyue’s eyes at the same time.
[Hint: You have obtained some information on the abilities of the mutated dark serpent.]
[Creature: Infected mutated dark serpent.]
Description: A creature that lives in the dark. It feeds on the smaller creatures in the cave. It has been infected by a special infection, and its HP has increased.
Additional skills: Dark serpent raid, stone wall concealment.
Description: Contact with its blood will cause a slight increase in the infection index.
Description ??? (More information can be obtained through various skills).
“No wonder.”
Fang Heng muttered to himself in a low voice after seeing the game prompt.
No wonder he felt a little strange just now.
In terms of the difficulty of the battle, the mutated dark serpent was probably not strong enough to drop a Tier 2 mutation crystal.
It turned out that the real difficulty lay in the virus body contained in the mutated dark serpent.
When normal players were dealing with dark serpents, they had to always be on guard to avoid their blood from being infected.
But the dark serpents were unlucky and encountered the zombie clones.
The zombie creatures were full of the Hila virus, and they were all poisonous, so they were not afraid of being infected.
Thus, the mutated dark serpents were once again suppressed.
Fang Heng was overjoyed.
This wave of farming Tier 2 mutation crystals was really a huge profit.
While thinking, Fang Heng stretched out his hand and waved it in front of him.
Many mutation crystals left on the ground gathered into blue specks and were absorbed into Fang Heng’s palm.
[Hint: You have obtained Tier 1 mutation crystals*5,298; Tier 2 mutation crystals*1,254.]
As a member of the trial team, Tang Mingyue followed Fang Heng’s movements.
She saw the mutation crystals that were left on the stone steps actually gather into a flashing galaxy in the air and flew straight into Fang Heng’s palm.
Tang Mingyue’s mouth was agape, her eyes full of envy.
She didn’t know how many twists and turns Fang Heng took to control these zombie clones. She only knew that Fang Heng’s summoned creatures had slaughtered the dark serpents successfully.
Wasn’t this just farming monsters?
Moreover, he was killing monsters without getting injured in the process!
This was too good to be true…
After entering an intermediate game, it would be more difficult to level up the further one went. It would usually take a year and a half for an ordinary player to level up.
However, Fang Heng didn’t seem to have such hardships at all.
She thought, “Big Brother, please bring me along!”
Tang Mingyue walked to Fang Heng’s side and coughed lightly. She thickened her skin and said in a low voice, “Cough, cough. Fang Heng, there are still a lot of mutation crystals. I still need to level up. Could you offer me a discounted price?”
After entering an intermediate game, the mutation crystals would be bound to the player and could not be traded.
“No need, I have a lot. I’ll give you some.”
Fang Heng agreed immediately. He had always been generous to his trusted partners.
The dark serpent could drop Tier 1 and Tier 2 mutation crystals.
In any case, he had no use for the Tier 1 mutation crystals at the moment. Once he left the team, the mutation crystals would not be able to be traded. Hence, he decisively traded 2,000 Tier 1 mutation crystals.
[Hint: You have obtained 2,000 Tier 1 mutation crystals from the team.]
Two thousand!
So many!
Tang Mingyue’s eyes were wide open when she saw Fang Heng directly exchange 2,000 crystals for her without saying a word.
She was going to be rich!
Tang Mingyue suddenly felt like she had become rich overnight. She couldn’t help raising her head and looking at Fang Heng.
If it weren’t for the fact that Tang Mingyue knew Fang Heng’s character very well during this period of time, she would’ve thought that Fang Heng might have other intentions toward her.
This debt of gratitude was huge…
F*ck!
It would be great if he had any ulterior motives!
Fang Heng saw Tang Mingyue’s strange expression and asked, “Not enough?”
While saying that, Fang Heng prepared to transfer another 2,000.
“That’s enough, thank you, Boss! You are very generous!”
Tang Mingyue came back to her senses and was overjoyed. A few white lights flashed on her body, and she leveled up three times in a row in the blink of an eye.
She wouldn’t have to worry about favors if she owed more of them.
