Chapter 34 Original Eggs

Lin Shen had completely adapted to Wei Wufu's way of speaking. He knew what Wei Wufu was saying, that this egg had great potential and could be used for genetic mutation very quickly.

Their current situation is very difficult. Lin Shen must undergo genetic mutation so that they can survive successfully. If they fail, given their current situation, they will definitely die.

"Are you really sure that this thing is a mutant egg? Are you sure you didn't take the wrong one? This is really not the small boiled egg you brought?" Lin Shen confirmed again.

Because no matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary bird egg and had nothing to do with a genetically modified egg.

"If you're afraid...give it back to me..." Wei Wufu said.

"Then I'll give it a try." Lin Shen thought, "If this is an ordinary egg, then he won't lose anything. If it's really like what Wei Wufu said, this egg has great potential, then he'll make a profit. Wei Wufu is such a tough guy, and the gene-mutated egg he said is strong should not be an ordinary one. But why haven't I heard of any gene egg that can allow people to complete gene mutation in a very short time?"

Now that he had made the decision, Lin Shen no longer hesitated. He was not a person who would drag his feet.

After taking a look at the mutant creature that was completely unable to move, Lin Shen picked up the genetically modified egg that looked like a bird's egg and swallowed it.

That's right, I swallowed it whole.

Humans who have not undergone genetic mutation cannot directly swallow the genetic mutation fluid or the genetic mutation fluid in the genetic mutation eggs. Generally, they need to extract and make a base fluid needle first, and then inject it into the body according to the dosage.

After genetic mutation, humans can directly swallow part of the genetic mutation fluid, but there are certain risks.

The nature of the mutation fluid is more like a virus. Humans infected by it gradually coexist with the virus and try to master and control it, making it a part of themselves.

Of course, this is just a metaphor. In fact, the properties of the mutation fluid and the virus are somewhat different.

If humans who have not undergone genetic mutation want to complete genetic mutation, they need to swallow a complete genetic mutation egg, including the shell, and change their body structure through its "infection".

Because before this, a large number of base mutation fluid injections had been used, which is probably equivalent to a lot of vaccines, so the risk of this "infection" is actually not that great.

After all, what was used was the lowest-level steel-grade genetically modified eggs. If the genetic transformation failed, the most that would result would be a headache or fever, which is similar to a cold.

When Wei Wufu saw Lin Shen swallow the "egg", his eyes showed some recognition, and he thought to himself: "Six people who have used the No. 14 original egg have died, and no one has succeeded so far. This Lin Shen can remain calm and composed even though he knows that he will die if he fails. He is indeed an extraordinary person. Maybe he can really succeed."

Wei Wufu himself did not realize that it was his weird way of expression that misled Lin Shen.

The reason why Lin Shen was misled was that he had never heard of death due to failed gene mutation. He had no such concept in his mind and was completely unaware of this problem, so he misinterpreted it.

Of course, if Lin Shen knew, he might be more interested.

The third and fourth brothers had been advising him not to rush into genetic mutation, meaning that they wanted to find him a genetic mutation egg with strong enough potential. If Lin Shen knew the origin of this "egg", he would probably make the same choice in the end.

Of course, there was another important reason that prompted him to make such a decision, that is, he no longer had any pets that he could use. Relying on this body alone, he even had difficulty walking. If he did not immediately enhance his own survival ability, he would still die.

Under normal circumstances, the egg could be processed first, but now the conditions were naturally not right. Fortunately, the egg was not big, so Lin Shen managed to swallow it whole.

As soon as the egg entered his stomach, Lin Shen knew that this was no ordinary bird egg, but a genetically modified egg.

Almost immediately after the genetically modified egg entered his stomach, a chill that almost froze him stiff spread from his stomach and instantly spread throughout his body. Lin Shen immediately lost control of his body and fell straight to the ground, but his nerves became extremely sensitive, and even a hair falling on his skin would make him feel pain.

Even when dust fell and touched his skin, it would immediately cause his skin to become red and swollen.

"It hurts... It really hurts..." Lin Shen had never realized that there was so much dust in the air.

The dust, which was usually imperceptible, fell on Lin Shen, making him feel as if his whole body was being pricked by needles.

Wei Wufu looked at Lin Shen lying motionless on the ground, and a lot of thoughts went through his mind.

The reason why the No. 14 original egg is called the original egg instead of the genetically modified egg is because its origin is different from that of the ordinary genetically modified egg.

More than two hundred years ago, various genetically modified organisms suddenly appeared all over the world, and those genetically modified organisms originally came from the genetically modified zone.

Most people have no idea about the mutation zone, they only know that it is an area where mutation organisms gather.

What they don’t know is why the genetically modified organisms gather in the genetically modified areas, nor do they know why the genetically modified organisms all start to appear in the genetically modified areas.

People like Wei Wufu know very well that the reason why the mutation zone becomes a mutation zone is because of the existence of the original egg.

It is because these original eggs, which came from nowhere, fell all over the world and infected nearby organisms, causing them to undergo genetic mutations, which gave rise to genetically modified organisms.

After more than two hundred years of efforts, a small number of original eggs in the mutation zone fell into the hands of humans.

The Base Alliance has counted a total of sixteen known original eggs, eleven of which have been used for mutation. It is unknown how many have not been counted.

Every human who uses the original egg for genetic mutation is much stronger than the human who uses the mutated egg for genetic mutation, and can be called a monster among the mutators.

Except for the two who have died, all other humans who used the original eggs for genetic mutation have become the best among human mutators and are truly at the top of the pyramid.

Just using the original egg for genetic mutation is itself very dangerous, and almost every known original egg contains human life.

The original egg in Wei Wufu's hand is code-named Fourteen in the Base Alliance's data. It is the fourteenth original egg discovered and recorded.

The original egg No. 14 has been discovered for more than seventy years. Six humans have tried to use it for genetic mutation, and all of them died without exception.

Each of the six people before had made sufficient preparations, and their physical fitness and other aspects were already at the peak state of ordinary humans, but in the end it still failed.

Wei Wufu could see that Lin Shen's physical fitness had reached the limit of ordinary humans, which was the most basic condition for using the original egg mutation.

Without such conditions, failure is almost certain; with such conditions, the possibility of failure is also very high.

Lin Shen has such physical fitness, but has not undergone genetic mutation at this age. In Wei Wufu's opinion, isn't this just waiting for the original seed egg?
For some reason, Wei Wufu felt that Lin Shen might succeed, because some of the things Lin Shen did made him feel hard to believe and seemed a little unscientific.

"Threads are coming out..." Wei Wufu's eyes lit up when he saw white threads that were countless times thinner than hair and looked like fine fluff emerging from Lin Shen's skin.
