Chapter 536 - 9.6 Genius And Freak
[666: A–Aye aye, Host!]
God knew how relieved he was when the familiar prompt appeared in front of his eyes. He had suffered enough already moving blindly in the previous simulation, dancing on the tip of death again and again and almost failing to save the villain. Lu Yizhou’s tense shoulders relaxed. As long as he had the original plot, then everything would be easier.
He directed another glare at the zombies nearby out of spite and sat down to digest the plot.
To no one’s surprise, this world was an apocalypse modern world.
Just like any other apocalypse stories, the problems originated from an error in the government’s secret project regarding genetic sequence. At first, they planned to study the animals’ and plants’ recovery rate. Despite not being the top of the food chain, animals and plants had their own special way to hasten their cell generation.
For example, axolotl, a species of aquatic salamander, had the "superpower" of regenerating its limbs, spinal cord, heart, and other organs. Flatworms and hydra, for instance, could regrow their entire bodies from only a tiny piece of their original selves. Even among vertebrates (animals that do have spines), the axolotl wasn’t the only animal capable of regeneration. Young frogs were known to regrow limbs, though they lost this ability when they changed from tadpoles to adult frogs. On the other hand, the axolotl retained it throughout its entire life, making it unique among vertebrates and a great model to study in regeneration field.
If this research succeeded, then not only would it become a once-in-a-century breakthrough in the medical field, but humans could also reach immortality!
For this research, the government put together all the brilliant and renowned researchers in the country and dumped a huge sum of money to fuel the experiment.
Alas, as the saying went, man proposed and God disposed.
