Chapter 25 Life (Please Read, Collect, and Recommend)
Several cars were parked in the middle of the road, with twisted bodies, roofs opened, parts scattered all over the ground, blood everywhere, and cordons had been set up around them.
No one was seen, probably they had been taken away for rescue, but in this scene, it was hard to imagine that there were no deaths.
Car accidents are more ferocious than tigers, and road traffic accidents are the type of safety accidents with the highest number of accidental deaths.
Every holiday, there are always a few, especially those that occur on highways, and basically they are directly gone.
Lu He sighed slightly and slowed down.
At one o'clock in the morning, Lu He arrived home.
Turning on his mobile phone, Li Qingtong sent him a message at around twelve o'clock, asking him if he had arrived home.
Lu He replied that he had arrived home, and reported safety in the group, then pushed away the three black people around him and went straight to the backyard laboratory.
The laboratory was not lit, and it should have been pitch black, but now it was filled with blue light, hazy.
The source of the blue light is a test tube on the shelf. On the top of the test tube is a firefly-like insect, which is constantly secreting blue liquid. Drops of liquid gather at the bottom of the test tube.
Whenever the blue firefly tries to escape from the test tube, circles of strange and twisted symbol lines will light up on the surface of the test tube. These symbol lines glow with a faint red fluorescence. The moment the firefly touches the red fluorescence, its body stiffens, and then falls into the liquid at the bottom of the test tube. It struggles for a few times before crawling out and continues to float above.
Lu He stood on the warning magic circle outside the warehouse and sensed it silently. Seeing that there was no sign of touching, he gently waved his right hand, pushed open the door, and walked in.
"Only 5ml was secreted in a day. This speed is too slow." Lu He picked up the test tube and muttered to himself.
Then he input the magic power in his hand, and all the runes on the test tube were activated. The red light was shining, and all the fireflies inside fell instantly, motionless, and completely dead.
"Well, you should give up your bodies. I will purify it myself." Lu He sighed and began to purify the blue liquid.
Fireflies are void creatures he summoned - life-system void aphids, which are semi-living creatures without self-consciousness and are lower in level than void worms.
Botany records that the secretions of this void aphid can be used as materials for plants to autonomously select evolutionary catalysts.
The mainstream theory about the evolutionary direction of organisms on Earth believes that it is the result of natural selection. Biological species are evolved from a few common ancestors after a long period of natural selection.
However, the wizard's botany says that this is just an appearance. The characteristics of many organisms are neither a manifestation of adaptability nor the result of selection at all. Examples are also given.
For example, male mammals do not need nipples. They have them because their female counterparts have nipples.
For example, some people find the fragrance of roses irresistible, and some people can smell the unique odor of urine after eating asparagus.
For example, what causes the emergence of male homosexuality? Is this kind of mutation evolution to increase the birth rate of women?
Botany in the inheritance believes that evolution is an individual choice. In addition to adapting to the environment, it is more about the competition of information in the internal life forbidden zone.
Lu He was very curious about this life forbidden zone, but there was only one sentence in botany, no detailed description, and it was also noted that only wizards above the fourth level could study it.
He went to the Eye of Inheritance to search, and there really was a book called Life Forbidden Zone, but he couldn't even open the first page.
Having gone off topic, Lu He pulled back his scattered thoughts and continued to purify the liquid.
The catalyst he planned to refine could promote the evolution of plants, but this kind of evolution had no direction, the process was uncontrollable, and it was completely self-selected by the plants.
It was written that it was recommended to choose low-level plants for experiments to avoid bad consequences.
Lu He thought it didn't matter. The plants on the earth should be the lowest of the low, the weakest of the weak. Even carnivorous plants with autonomous attack capabilities can only catch small insects. How dangerous can they be?
Half an hour later...
Lu He's forehead was faintly sweaty. He sat on a chair in the laboratory with a test tube of blue liquid on the table.
It was harder to purify the body of the void aphid than he thought. He needed to keep his flower eyes open to see the impurities in the liquid and separate them.
He tried to use a centrifuge in the middle, but it was completely useless. The body residue of the void aphid seemed to have the same density as the liquid it secreted, and the two were closely combined.
He stood up and walked out of the laboratory to the backyard.
A cool breeze blew in from outside the yard. It was dark outside, and a little light could be seen in the distance.
Lu He raised his head. In the black sky, a crescent moon was quietly hanging in the air, and the stars were scattered throughout the night sky, which looked quiet and beautiful.
He put his hand on the iron pillar, and the touch of the cold railing made Lu He's slightly tired mind sober up a little.
Lu He stood for a while and felt the coolness before entering the house.
Boil water for a bath.
Unlike the previous need to build a stove and use firewood to boil water, Lu He directly put his hand into the big basin, communicated with the surrounding fire elements, and the microwaves in the water rippled. After a while, steam was steaming, and a bucket of hot water was freshly baked.
However, Lu He was not very familiar with the basics of the fire element, and he was not very good at controlling the temperature, so it was easy to overheat. He was not well prepared for the first time and almost burned his hand.
After washing up, Lu He lay on the bed and his consciousness entered the inheritance panel in his mind.
"Screening methods to enhance physical fitness."
"Screening..."
The car accident he witnessed today left Lu He with lingering fears. He used to watch the news and didn't feel much, but today he saw it live and felt the shock too much.
If he had encountered it head-on, even if he could react and was protected by the invisible skin, he still didn't know if he could survive, but bleeding was inevitable.
The resulting sense of crisis made him want to strengthen himself impatiently.
The wizard's path is actually very limited in the apprentice stage. Spells require casting time and various restrictions, and accidents are often just a moment.
Unless he is promoted to a formal wizard, there will be a qualitative change, but formal wizards are too far away from him.
After a while, the Eye of Inheritance finished the selection.
A large number of various rolled sleeves floated in front of him.
"Xenotransplantation, transplanting the organs of powerful creatures into yourself... Kirin Arm?"
Lu He's face became strange, and he suddenly remembered a TV series he had watched before.
There was a sentence in the barrage when Bu Jingyun was holding Chuchu.
He shook his head and passed it directly. There is no unicorn arm in reality. Even animals with strong bodies on earth cannot escape death in car accidents. There are some in the void and the abyss, but he dare not summon them.
"Bloodline strengthening, extract the bloodline of powerful creatures, exchange blood... pass."
"Soul transplantation, directly change the body."
"Change a fart, I still want to make a living with this skin, it's so delicious to eat soft rice, what do you know with your big eyes."
Eye of inheritance:...
"Undead conversion, use black magic and necromancy to transform into an undead creature, store the soul in the magic weapon, the magic weapon is not destroyed, immortal, and can continuously create a new body to revive."
Isn't this a lich, but it says that it takes a wizard of level 4 or above to transform into a lich, and there are not many undead creatures that apprentices can transform into.
Living dead, skeletons, ghost fog, blood-sucking creatures...
"Blood-sucking creatures are similar to Western vampires. You can try them. Let's see what comes next. There are too many restrictions after they are transformed into undead creatures."
As for appearance, wizards don't mind at all. The wizards recorded in the books have all kinds of strange shapes. There is nothing they can't do except what you can't think of.
Lu He hasn't reached this level yet, so he thinks he can wait.
"Secret martial arts body, the cultivation method of the secret martial arts world, the upper limit corresponds to the strength of a high-level apprentice, and the entry requires the cooperation and guidance of secret martial arts seeds."
Lu He looked at what secret martial arts seeds are again.
"White and red flowers, mercury snakes, all-encompassing water... There is nothing like it on Earth, pass."
"Gene medicine, the direction of physical strengthening on the technology side, the upper limit is extremely high, the method of making a first-level gene medicine is as follows..."
I can't understand it. Lu He, who has a bachelor's degree on Earth, said he can't understand it at all.
