After the boss of the end of the world was cannon fodder, he changed to the farming script

Chapter 21 She Touched the Threshold
To avoid embarrassment for someone in the future, Gu Xi decisively decided to end this topic, and asked instead: "Professor Xu, why do these plants mutate?"

I heard that Little Crying Bag is now an expert at the Institute of Supernatural Powers. I think I have been studying at the Institute for 30 years, so I should have discovered something, right?
Professor Xu, who had always been aloof in front of others, became amiable at the moment.

He followed behind Gu Xi, and patiently explained to Gu Xi: "The reason why these plants mutate is because there is a special energy in their bodies, which we call X energy."

Gu Xi nodded, it seems that this X energy is the official name of that strange energy.

Seeing that she was interested, Xu Yiersan continued: "This kind of X energy, after entering the human body through the food chain, cannot be digested and absorbed by the human body, nor can it be eliminated through metabolism..."

After a pause, he said again: "When this kind of energy accumulates to a certain amount in the human body, it will cause devastating damage to the human body..."

I don't know what to think of, Xu Yiersan's expression is obviously a little dignified.

After a while, he lowered his eyes and sighed softly: "...a good person, but in the end he turned into a monster who lost his mind."

The monster here does not just refer to adjectives.

Because the X energy will not only make people completely lose their minds, but also some changes will occur in the body:
Some of them have scales on their bodies, some have tails, some have sharp claws on their hands and feet, some have bone spurs on their backs, some have fangs in their mouths, and some have tongues sticking out It is more than three meters long...

These human beings who finally turned into monsters are no less destructive and dangerous than the original zombies.

After Gu Xi woke up, she had never seen such a monster.

Although there were occasional discussions on the forum, there were no images or video materials. Now hearing Xu Yiersan's words, Gu Xi's heart seemed to be moved.

After thinking about it, she asked, "Then where does this X energy come from? How does it enter the body of animals and plants?"

Xu Yiersan was curious as a little girl, without thinking too much, and said, "We suspect that this X energy may be related to the zombie virus that suddenly disappeared back then..."

This is similar to Gu Xi's previous guess.

But Gu Xi has never figured out how these strange energies enter the bodies of animals and plants.

She had carefully sensed the surrounding environment with supernatural powers, and found that there was no such special energy in the air, water sources, and soil.

It seems to appear in the bodies of animals and plants out of thin air, and the speed is surprisingly fast.

I don't know if the research institute has been working on it for so many years, has it figured out this problem?

Gu Xi looked at Xu Yiersan seriously.

"As for how this X energy appears in plants..." Xu Yiersan hesitated for a moment.

"It's ashamed to say," he sighed. "Over the years, we have tested the air, water, and soil in different environments... We have done a lot of analysis experiments, but we still haven't figured out this problem."

"A few years ago, someone raised a possibility..." After speaking of this, Xu Yiersan's expression became a little strange, and he fell silent.

Gu Xi looked at him in surprise.

Xu Yiersan came back to his senses, and said with a complicated expression: "A few years ago, someone suggested that the reason why X energy appeared in animals and plants might be due to... genetic variation."

Gu Xi: "...?" She didn't read much, so she didn't know that energy can also be inherited?

Xu Yiersan explained: "Some people speculate that when the zombie virus suddenly disappeared, it was lurking in the bodies of animals and plants in some way, and then some unknown changes occurred, which caused the zombie virus to interact with certain genes of animals and plants. Fragments merged..."

Then, with the reproduction of animals and plants, it was passed on to the next generation, and those gene sequences that were fused and changed had some unknown changes again during the growth of animals and plants, thus giving birth to X energy...

Gu Xi listened carefully.

She seemed to understand something, but she didn't seem to understand anything.

Finally, she thought about it, and said tactfully, "...it's amazing."

Seeing her appearance, Xu Yiersan couldn't help but smiled: "I think it's absurd. In fact, when this theory was first proposed, it was not recognized by the mainstream."

"But it didn't take long before someone extracted a special set of gene fragments from those groups that turned into monsters..."

This proves that X energy has indeed changed some gene sequences of the human body.

Since X energy can change the gene sequence of the human body, it can naturally change the genes of other animals and plants.

Then be bolder, reverse thinking, and reverse derivation—could the X energy suddenly appearing in animals and plants come from some special gene fragments?
So some people put forward the theory of genetic variation.

It's just that the same or similar gene fragments have not been extracted from those mutated plants and animals so far, so this inference cannot be proved for the time being.

While washing her hands, Gu Xi thought to herself: Although she didn't understand, she felt so unpredictable.

"Xiao Xi, if you have anything else you want to ask, you can ask me." Xu Yiersan sat on a big rock by the stream, looked sideways at Gu Xi with a smile.

This is my sister's child, and she has the right to know everything!
Gu Xi looked at him sideways, thought for a while, and suddenly asked: "I want to know, what's the matter with the malignant transformation of xenoplants? When did this malignant transformation start? Before that, was there any What's the sign?"

Gu Xi, who just had a fight with the malignant alien plant a few days ago, now wants to find out the most about this matter.

Because she discovered that after the xenograft became malignant, another kind of purer energy appeared in her body, and this energy made her supernatural power very exciting.

Gu Xi's ability has not been used since she broke through the tenth level and reached the god level when she was 14 years old.

Everyone believes that the god rank is already the highest level of abilities.

But Gu Xi, who has been in the position of full-level boss for many years, has vaguely realized many years ago that there should be a higher realm above the god rank.

She could vaguely feel the existence of that realm, but she never touched the threshold.

Until that night, by constantly plundering the strange energy in the xenoplant, she finally witnessed the malignant transformation process of the xenoplant.

It turned out that before the xenoplants became malignant, they would absorb a large amount of energy from other xenoplants around them, causing the xenoplants nearby to wither and die.

And the consequence of this kind of natural selection is that in the process of malignant transformation of the last victorious plant, another kind of more pure and advanced energy is produced in the body.

This new energy made her little green shoot extra excited.

After Gu Xi plundered this part of energy, it seemed that he had vaguely touched the threshold.

So she wanted to know more about the malignant transformation of xenografts.

But the matter of the malignant transformation of alien plants was suppressed by the superiors, and Gu Xi had no way to understand it.

However, according to Wei Heng's previous words, it seems that all the information about the malignant transformation of alien plants is now controlled by the group of people at the Central Base Ability Research Institute.

Not even the military has much.

And Xu Yiersan happened to be a member of the Ability Research Institute.Coupled with his special status, he added another identity to himself...

Gu Xi thought that this might be the only breakthrough she could get into those materials at present.

So even though she knew it was risky for her to ask this question, Gu Xi thought about it and asked it anyway.

But at the same time, she also found that the moment she asked this question, the sisters of the Qin family and Shen Yue all looked up at her.

Even Xu Yiersan's complexion changed slightly.
The look in her eyes is different.
