I am getting stronger and stronger in the world of demons and monsters

This feeling that seems to have found hope,

This phenomenon didn't just occur in Lu Ye alone.

Since Xu Chong, Xu Rong, and other Dragon Elephant Gene Warriors were wiped out by Lin Xuankong and his group, and since the supplies in Shelter No. 36 were started to be distributed according to each refugee's contribution points, the enthusiasm of every refugee in the shelter has been mobilized!

In the past, even when the disaster victims in those residential buildings occasionally came downstairs, they all had empty eyes and had lost all imagination for the future. It was hard to see a smile on their faces, and every disaster victim was thin and weak!
Right now, you can see some smiles on the faces of the refugees in the shelter.

When some disaster victims went downstairs to collect supplies using the donation points, they would smile and greet each other with familiar faces. Some disaster victims even took a stroll in the central square of the shelter to digest their food after eating their fill during the day because they had received plenty of food!
As time progressed, and dozens more machine guns were added to the rooftops of the dozen or so residential buildings in the shelter, some survivors dared to come out at night to stroll, cool off, and chat in the central square! Some survivors even remarked that life in Shelter 36 seemed to have brought back a bit of the peace and comfort they had before the Beast Catastrophe!

However, everyone knew that this peace and comfort was related to the increasing number of powerful and heavy machine guns made by Lu Ye and others using SW alloy, as well as the contribution point management model implemented by Lin Xuankong after taking over the shelter. More importantly, the powerful strength that Lin Xuankong demonstrated gave these people a strong sense of security!
refuge,

Laboratory No. 2

Wearing a white mask, Lin Xuankong walked into the spotless operating room and looked at Li Pingfei, who was busy at work.

Vault 36 now houses two laboratories. Laboratory One is the alloy laboratory managed by Han Liu and Lu Ye, while Laboratory Two is naturally the one used by Mr. Li Pingfei to research the third-generation YZMM gene serum! The construction materials and equipment for these two laboratories were obtained by Han Bao and Ma Long from some former Stone City research institutes near Vault 36! In the current ruins of Stone City, aside from areas where seventh-tier tyrannical source beasts might appear, the rest of the area is not only a good place for Han Liu to hunt source beast flesh and blood, but also Han Bao and his team's 'backyard' for searching for various instruments and equipment!
The elderly Mr. Li Pingfei, with his white hair, seemed to have noticed Lin Xuankong as well, but he remained silent until he had completed all the tests on the experimental samples in his hand. Only then did he relax, wipe the sweat from his brow, look at Lin Xuankong, and say with some regret:

"Director Lin, reagent number 1877 has also failed!"

Lin Xuankong nodded slightly, but his face did not show any regret or remorse. Instead, he said with great approval, "This shows that Teacher Li has eliminated a total of 1,877 incorrect solutions, which means that we are getting closer and closer to success! With Teacher Li's physical strength and energy, it is beyond my expectations that he was able to complete so many experimental concepts and implementations in just over 20 days!"

Upon hearing this, Li Pingfei couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, "Director Lin's words of encouragement remind me of what I said when I encouraged those younger people back in the research institute!"

Lin Xuankong waved his hand, "I have always regarded Mr. Li as my teacher, and I would never dare to deceive or encourage such a highly respected teacher as a junior!"

Ever since Li Pingfei selected over a dozen chemistry and biology experts from among the refugees in Shelter 36 to establish Laboratory No. 2, Lin Xuankong frequently sought out Mr. Li Pingfei under various pretexts to consult him on chemistry and biology, and even proactively took on the role of Mr. Li Pingfei's biochemistry teacher! Lin Xuankong's intention wasn't to actually become a chemist or biologist, but rather to channel his own accumulated wisdom and talents—the wisdom of his aging body and the talents of his family—into Mr. Li, hoping to help him develop the third-generation YZMM gene serum as soon as possible, a serum that could transform all ordinary humans into gene warriors!

According to Lin Xuankong's previous plan, with the combined effects of the "old man's wisdom" and "wife and children's talents," this Mr. Li Pingfei would have at least a 6,000-fold 'cultivation' boost, and all sorts of inspiration and ideas would flow like a spring! Indeed, as Lin Xuankong had predicted, since establishing a teacher-student relationship with Mr. Li Pingfei, the speed at which Mr. Li Pingfei advanced his experiments had become increasingly faster. A new formula that would normally take several years to design could often be designed by Mr. Li Pingfei in just a few hours.

The speed at which this new formula was conceived and designed is beyond description. If the heads of some laboratories of the Tang Kingdom Gene Organization knew that the third-generation YZMM gene agent was being developed at this speed in this extremely rudimentary laboratory in the ruins of Stone City, they would be absolutely dumbfounded!

Unfortunately, the goal of the third-generation YZMM gene serum—to enable every ordinary person to successfully awaken their powers after injection—has yet to be achieved!

"Based on Professor Li's reagent test results, how much can reagent number 1877 increase the success rate of awakening in ordinary humans after injection?" Lin Xuankong asked, glancing at the light blue test tube in Li Pingfei's hand.

"If this reagent, number 1877, is injected into a human, the success rate of awakening should be around three percent!" Li Pingfei frowned as he looked at the reagent in his hand.

Lin Xuankong raised an eyebrow slightly, "A success rate of around three percent is already extremely high! Even after decades of improvements, the Tang Dynasty's gene organization has only managed to raise the awakening success rate of the second-generation YZMM gene serum to 0.5 percent!"

A biologist who appeared to be in his thirties leaned closer, gave Lin Xuankong a military salute, and then looked at Li Pingfei.
"Teacher Li, a 3% success rate in awakening through injection—this No. 1877 reagent's effectiveness is already a miracle. If it were sold on the black market in Tang or other countries, each vial would probably fetch an astonishing price!"
In my opinion, it would be better to mass-produce it according to the formula of reagent 1877. Our shelter has about 50,000 people. Excluding those thousands who have already been injected with the second-generation YZMM gene agent twice, there should be more than a thousand people who can become gene warriors. If they are injected twice, that would be more than two thousand new gene warriors!
In this way, the number of gene warriors in Vault 36 will be almost one-third of the total number of gene warriors in Stone City. Once those gene warriors grow up, Vault 36 will definitely become an extremely powerful force, enough to ensure its survival in this Source Beast disaster!

As the biologist, in his thirties, spoke, his eyes were fixed on the blue reagent, a hint of excitement in them. In his view, an awakening success rate six times higher than Tang's best YZMM gene serum was already incredibly exaggerated and extremely exciting!
The white-haired Li Pingfei resolutely shook his head, his expression firm as he said:
"The past twenty-odd days I spent working alongside Director Lin on the development of the YZMM gene drug have been the most inspiring and innovative period of my entire career in gene drugs. Every conversation with Director Lin has brought me even more new inspiration and ideas! I don't want to waste these inspirations and ideas in the last moments of my life!"
Although a 3% awakening success rate might seem quite good to you little guys, and you might even be eager to try it yourselves, in my opinion, it's far from enough. This is because the YZMM gene serum is extracted from the flesh and blood of source beasts and undergoes reverse gene transcription in the human body. Therefore, the YZMM gene serum can only be injected a maximum of twice. If the injector fails to awaken successfully after two injections, they will forever lose the chance to awaken and become a gene warrior!

"I don't want the majority of the refugees in the shelter to lose the chance to become gene warriors for life after using the 1877 potion!" At this point, the white-haired Mr. Li Pingfei looked at Lin Xuankong and frowned.

"Director Lin, I know that over the past few days, I have consumed a large amount of source beast flesh and blood to test the YZMM gene serum, resulting in the waste of possibly tens of thousands of kilograms of source beast flesh and blood!"

But I firmly believe that as long as Director Lin continues to support me and provides enough source beast flesh and blood, I will definitely be able to manufacture the true third-generation YZMM gene serum and increase the success rate of gene serum awakening to over 50%!

At this point, a fervent light shone in the eyes of the white-haired old man, “As long as the awakening success rate can reach more than 50%, then this third-generation YZMM gene drug will enable every human who is injected to embark on the path of awakening and become a YZMM super life form that can continuously evolve!”
"Director Lin, when this potion is finally released, it can be named Lin Kong Potion. Your name will be enough to astound the people of every country, making it a milestone in the history of human evolution. That would be the highest honor!"

Upon hearing this elderly gentleman with white hair say this,

Lin Xuankong couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, saying, "Good heavens, I just casually said something to fool you, Teacher Li, and you're already trying to fool me with such grandiose claims as milestones in human evolutionary history!"

Upon hearing Lin Xuankong's words, Li Pingfei paused, then shook his head anxiously, saying, "It's not a lie, absolutely not a lie."

Clearly, this old Mr. Li was afraid that Lin Xuankong would reject his plan, cutting off the supply of source beast flesh and blood, thus preventing the true third-generation YZMM gene serum from being developed. After all, not every gene organization or laboratory would be like Lin Xuankong, casually supplying source beast flesh and blood to this half-buried old man like it's nothing! Moreover, at his age, he might not live to see another shelter 'director' who would provide him with an unlimited supply of source beast flesh and blood!

Before the white-haired old gentleman could finish speaking,
Lin Xuankong decisively waved his hand, "Teacher Li, you misunderstood me. What I mean is, you don't need to paint such a grand picture for me, you don't need to tempt me with some milestone in human evolution! In this refuge of mine, you are a teacher I truly acknowledge. As long as you want to continue your research, as long as you have the physical strength and energy to continue your experiments, I can provide as much source beast flesh as you need. In any case, the flowers, trees and shrubs in the Stone City ruins are already incredibly lush, and the source beasts that roam among them are all prey waiting for us to hunt!"

At this point, Lin Xuankong laughed and said, "Teacher Li, continue your research and experiments. I'm taking some people out to hunt source beasts!"

Upon hearing Lin Xuankong's words, the white-haired Mr. Li Pingfei paused, stunned, his eyes seemingly burning with a flame. The old gentleman was clearly too excited to speak.

It wasn't until Lin Xuankong turned and left the laboratory, his footsteps fading into the distance, that the white-haired old man finally realized what had happened, and then burst into laughter.

"What are you kids standing there for? Come on, let's review the entire formula and manufacturing process of reagent number 1877 and see where we can change our thinking!"

"Hurry up, stop dawdling, all of you come here!"

"Little Ma, put down those potions you're holding and come here right now!"

Inside the laboratory, Li Pingfei's powerful shouts echoed.

After leaving the laboratory, Lin Xuankong listened to those voices, couldn't help but smile and shake his head, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

It has to be said that the grand promise Mr. Li Pingfei had just made to Lin Xuankong was quite tempting! Phrases like "a milestone in human evolution" and "Lin Kong's potion" left Lin Xuankong feeling both tricked and somewhat yearning! After all, for Lin Xuankong, a transmigrator, if he could do something for the ordinary humans of this Primordial World besides completing his mission, he would be quite willing!

However, Lin Xuankong knew very well that even Yunqin Kingdom, which had allied with alien forces, had not yet produced a YZMM gene serum with a high success rate. It would be no easy task to actually refine and synthesize the YZMM gene serum with an awakening success rate of more than 50% that Li Pingfei mentioned!

Even if this Mr. Li Pingfei is a top talent in biochemistry,

Even if this Mr. Li Pingfei possessed a 6,000-fold bonus to his "still vigorous in his old age" destiny, and one day of his research was equivalent to nearly 20 years of research by other organizations,
The YZMM gene serum, with an awakening success rate of over 50%, is definitely not an easy thing to achieve!
It might take several months or even years of research, consuming hundreds of thousands or even millions of kilograms of source beast flesh and blood!
However, for Lin Xuankong, since he was already a true gene warrior and had embarked on the path of source cultivation, he could afford to wait and didn't care about the cost. As long as that old Mr. Li was willing, why wouldn't he? After all, that promise did look very tempting! (End of Chapter)
