Necromancers are frantically stationing troops in the apocalypse.

Chapter 948, Gene Melting Pot

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows when he saw the name of the medicine.

A medicine that has never appeared.

In other words, this is a fourth-level corpse core potion.

Thinking of this, I felt instantly happy.

It was produced just in time, and was completed before the upcoming battle.

Even if it is just an enhancement in attributes, it will be of some help in subsequent battles.

"Is this a new potion?" Glenda asked through the wall.

Xiao Xiao also asked, "What level of corpse core potion is this? I've been researching it for so long that I've almost forgotten what level it is."

Wu Heng said: "Level 4! Made from the corpse core of the Corpse King."

As he spoke, he held the potion up to the light for a closer look. The light blue liquid flowed in the glass bottle, occasionally flashing a silver light.

It seems to contain special energy.

Xiao Xiao muttered to the side, "We just made the Corpse King. We all have level 20 Corpse Cores."

The Corpse King is the name given to various shelters in the modern world, representing level 18.

But in the prison, level 20 corpse cores have begun to appear one after another.

It seems that level 18 is a bit slow.

"It's not too bad. We can't ask for too much." Wu Heng said.

"Level 18 is so slow!" Xiao Xiao leaned on his shoulder, "By the time you research level 20, you'll be an old man."

Glenda said, "Like the old wizard, with a big beard."

Beni also smiled and said, "If Wu Heng had a beard, he would look good too."

"You are thinking too far ahead! And you underestimate the lifespan of heroes." Wu Heng said, putting the potion into the space ring.

He looked at the alchemy skeleton waiting on the side and said, "Let's go to the alchemy room. I want to see how many level 4 corpse cores there are."

The alchemist skeleton led the way, and Wu Heng and two ghosts went to the alchemy room together.

Enter the room and turn on the light.

The whole room suddenly became brighter.

In the spacious room, all the skeleton alchemists were busy with their own work.

Wu Heng walked to the constant temperature cabinet nearby. There were still three level 18 corpse cores. He remembered that he had obtained quite a few corpse cores of this level, but they were still being consumed during the experiment.

It seems that I have to kill some level 18 zombies so that I can continue to make potions.

Retracting his gaze, Wu Heng continued to ask the accompanying skeleton: "Did any opportunity appear this time? How did they create a new potion?"

Soul fire flickered in the skull's empty eye sockets, and then it made a gesture of invitation.

Wu Heng followed it to the inner side of the room.

The skeleton stopped in front of the brilliant crystal.

[Moonlight Crystal]: Naturally formed crystal that absorbs moonlight and condenses into dew crystals, which has special effects.

This is an item I bought at an auction.

The dew crystals condensed by absorbing moonlight can be used as a kind of alchemical material.

Wu Heng raised his eyebrows, "Is the potion made because of this rare item?"

The skeleton nodded.

Wu Heng and the ghost who accompanied him were a little surprised.

Glenda said from the side: "You are really lucky."

"Yeah, you really managed to buy something useful." Benny also said.

At the auction, Wu Heng's purchasing method was more like that of a nouveau riche.

When I hear that something is good, I buy it all, with an urgent feeling of converting money into fighting power.

Glenda and Bernie, most of the time, don't agree with this way of consumption.

But I did manage to buy something really useful, and it also directly accelerated the process of making the medicine, otherwise it would have been delayed for who knows how long.

"I admit that there was an element of gambling involved, but I bet right." Wu Heng puffed out his chest.

Xiao Xiao said, "This is a line from a movie. I know it."

Wu Heng continued to say to the alchemical skeletons, "Continue to make this potion, and at the same time, assign more skeletons to develop the fifth-level corpse core."

The alchemy skeletons nodded again, and Wu Heng left the alchemy room with the ghost.

……

Return to the study.

The three ghosts continued to chat about potions and zombie evolution.

Wu Heng first took out the magic soul pot of "Niangniang" and placed it on the opposite side, and then put a tablet on it to play the movie.

After a few days, although he was still unwilling to communicate with Wu Heng, when the tablet was placed in front of him, he would look at the content on it by himself.

Wu Heng walked back to his seat, and the ghost 'Niangniang' turned into a ghost and flew out, glaring at this side, and then watched the movie by herself.

"I took the potion. If there is any change, remember to give me the antidote." Wu Heng took out the potion and also took out several bottles of antidote.

Three ghosts possessed the puppets, and Grenda said, "We've already reached level 18 potions. It's really dangerous. The antidote potion won't work."

Xiao Xiao said, "Uncle, you forgot that you are a hero and you will not die."

"I didn't forget, I'm just afraid something might go wrong." Wu Heng said.

"Xiaoxiao is worried that you will waste the potion." said Benny.

"I don't!"

Wu Heng uncorked the bottle and said, "Let me drink first as a token of my respect!"

After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank it.

The cool and slightly sour liquid flows down the throat and chest into the abdomen.

Then, severe pain swept through my body like a tide.

Wu Heng fell from his seat to the ground, his knuckles turned white from the exertion, and he curled up on the ground, struggling.

Glenda's puppet knelt on the ground, his arms tightly wrapped around his trembling shoulders. Benny held the antidote in her hand, and Xiaoxiao wiped his sweat with a towel.

……

not far away.

The ghost 'Niangniang' stared at this side dully.

I don't understand why he would drink poison, and why the side effects would be so severe, causing such intense pain for a hero.

His gaze turned to the three ghosts standing guard nearby.

It seems that they have a really good relationship.

He is not the kind of necromancer who treats ghosts as tools or experimental results.

"Humph! Stupid... you'll never achieve anything great."

He said in a low voice, but his eyes still glanced over here from time to time.

……

After the pain, consciousness returned.

Following this, there is a system prompt.

[Strength +2, Constitution +5, Agility +3. 】

[Unlocked feature: Genetic Furnace.]

Wu Heng was delighted again when he heard the system prompt.

The attributes have increased by 10 points in total, mainly in physique, which can also improve your physical fitness.

Moreover, new characteristics have been awakened.

In the modern world, it can also be called "superpowers".

Wu Heng sat up from Glenda's arms and wiped the sweat off his face. "Uncle, are you feeling better?"

"It's okay, it's just the side effects of the medicine." Wu Heng sat back in his chair.

Benny brought him a glass of water, "Fortunately, I almost wasted a bottle of antidote."

"You are going too far. I earn so much money, what's wrong with drinking a bottle of potion?" Wu Heng said unhappily.

Glenda smiled and said, "I'm mainly worried about weakening the effect of the potion. How about this time?"

Wu Heng said: "It's OK, I feel much better."

Open the panel and look at the newly unlocked features.

[Gene Melting Pot]: By consuming its own vitality, cells are fused into the gene chain of any known organism, acquiring its physiological characteristics.

gene!

It sounds like something very scientific.

Read the above introduction carefully.

His brows were slightly furrowed.

Reorganize cells, consume their own vitality, fuse cells into the gene chain of any known organism, and obtain its physiological characteristics. Meaning, I can fuse the memory chain of other organisms?

When I think about it this way, I also think of the zombie king-level zombies. Their bodies begin to develop towards the direction of rhinoceros beetles. This should be because their genes begin to undergo obvious changes, and it is not just the influence of the zombie virus.

"What's wrong?" Seeing him in a daze, Glenda asked again.

Wu Heng came back to his senses and said, "I got a new superpower."

"Wow! Uncle has superpowers again!"

"Since they have taken corpse cores at the corpse king level, the chances of developing superpowers are definitely higher." Bernie continued to ask, "What superpowers?"

"It can fuse the genes of an organism and possess the characteristics of that organism, but the details are still unclear," Wu Heng said.

"What are genes?" Glenda asked.

Benny looked at Xiao Xiao, who shook his head, "I haven't learned it, but I think I've heard of it somewhere."

Wu Heng explained, "It's the basic structure of living things. It roughly means blood type, physique and the like. For example, the characteristics of the corpse king are like insects, with insect wings and a horn."

I understand the general meaning, but some of the explanations are unclear.

Glenda thought for a moment and said, "You mean, it can also be like those corpse kings, with similar characteristics... It feels like a good ability, being able to move underwater like a fish, or fly, very practical."

Benny said, "Forget about the bugs. They're a bit scary."

Xiao Xiaopiao pondered aside and asked, "Does it have to be a living being? Isn't a ghost okay?"

"Do ghosts have genes?" Wu Heng asked back.

"Not discovered, that means nothing?"

"Uh..., what you said makes sense." Wu Heng said.

Xiao Xiao flew another half circle in the air, and then said, "I talked to Sister Lilith and asked her for her genes. I wonder if you can fly too..."

In an instant, both the man and the two souls were stunned.

……

On the other side, the Emerald Sea.

The night fell like a curtain, covering the sea.

The moonlight struggled to penetrate the clouds, casting countless fragments of silver light.

Letili was wearing a brown gown and a shawl, standing quietly on the deck, with a few strands of golden hair flying in the sea breeze.

A servant came out and said, "Miss Letili, it's windy outside, go back and rest early!"

Leitili said: "I have run Lopez City for more than 20 years, and I am reluctant to leave suddenly."

The attendant whispered, "Is it worth your effort?"

"You mean Treasure Island?" Letili said with a smile, "This is my one chance, I don't want to miss it, it's just a matter of spending some money and saving it up later."

"This auction was very successful. You can just apply to go to Treasure Island after the new year. Why give him so much money?" The servant still felt a little regretful.

Letili glanced at him, "After all, he has been in Treasure Island for so long, let him feel respectable and avoid any trouble. What I want is for him to enter Treasure Island quietly."

"Perhaps you have a point."

Letili didn't say anything more. Just as she was about to return to the cabin, the lookout suddenly shouted, "A ship has been spotted ahead."

The captain rushed out of the cabin.

Letili also walked to the bow and fixed her eyes on the end of the sea level.

Several faint flames were slowly moving towards them.

"It's the Vatican's fleet, with many ships... warships!" the lookout shouted.

Letili's brows were tightly furrowed, and a sense of uneasiness rose in her heart.

"Miss," the attendant said in a serious voice, "are we going to force our way in?"

"Let them come over. I'm also curious about what they are going to do with so many ships?" said Letili.

With so many ships, forcing our way in might lead to a direct war.

The Snake Emblem Group still has a certain deterrent power. Even the Holy See will not rashly attack unless it is necessary.

A ship from the Vatican approached.

Three clergymen stepped onto the ship, and more people were ready to board, looking like they were going to search.

Letili glanced at the captain, who stepped forward to greet them and saluted respectfully, "Meet the adults."

The leading clergyman nodded, glanced at the ship, and asked, "Where is this ship going?"

"Sir, the ships of the Snake Emblem Consortium are doing some shipping."

"Snake Emblem Group?" The clergyman narrowed his eyes and looked up at the flag on top of the mast.

"The flag is not hung. If you need it, I can show it to you." He said as he took out the flag.

The clergyman glanced and said to the person behind him, "No need to search."

The rest retreated.

The clergyman continued, "Where is this ship going?"

"To Treasure Island!"

"Go back! This road is blocked." The clergyman said solemnly.

The captain narrowed his eyes and continued to ask, "Sir, has something happened? I should have an explanation when I return."

The clergyman sneered, "No need to explain, Treasure Island will no longer exist."

this…….

The clergy left.

The captain repeated what had just been said.

Letili opened her eyes wide, looking at the Vatican ships gradually separating in the distance, her expression changing constantly.

The Vatican is going to attack Treasure Island.

Damn, what happened during this time.

"What's next?" asked the captain.

Letili looked at the dense crowd of ships ahead and said, "Turn around and go back."

"Yes!"

……

Island owner's mansion.

That little suggestion is like a bolt of lightning that cuts through the fog.

Yup!

In the modern world, when we talk about genetic breakthroughs, we think of other organisms.

But there are many races in this other world.

"Will it work?" Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

Wu Heng said: "If the vampires' ability to fly comes from their genes, it is indeed possible."

If vampires could fly.

Mermaids can breathe underwater, as can various other races.

Even without any special characteristics, the lifespan of these races is higher than that of humans, so it is still helpful to us.

New brains are useful.

Glenda smiled and praised, "You are quite clever."

"It's okay. I just thought of it in a flash of light." Xiaoxiao said modestly.

"It's just a flash of inspiration. Why mention holy light? It's so unlucky..." Wu Heng said.

"Spiritual light? I remember it was holy light!" Xiao Xiao flew over and continued, "Unfortunately, Sister Lilith is not here, otherwise I would go ask her for it... By the way, uncle, what are genes? How can I give them to you?"

"Blood or some body structures will do!" Wu Heng explained.

He reached into the space ring and took out an organ jar with a note on the outside that said "Vampire Organs".

Glenda raised his eyebrows, "It seems that the organs I collected before are all useful."

"Let's try again tomorrow. The side effects of the medicine haven't completely disappeared yet." Wu Heng said.

"Okay, you should rest early too." said Glenda.

Wu Heng stood up, and Xiaoxiao and Benny waved goodbye to him.

……

The next day, early morning.

Wu Heng took out the [Jade Sand Table] and took a look at it, his eyes fixed.

All around the Emerald Sea, ships flying the flag of the Vatican were rushing towards the Treasure Island like a flock of swallows returning to their nests.

Many of the other ships along the way were also added to the Vatican's fleet and apparently were requisitioned.

I looked around roughly.

Then they locked onto the largest fleet.

The fleet of the temple.
