Technological practice: leading the human race to the stars

Chapter 17 The Fear of Stolen

"is it?"

"That's right. Before I was expelled, no experimental subject could survive the torture of the C virus, including humans and source beasts."

Li Haisheng kept scrolling through the information in front of him, his eyebrows furrowed.

"Your classmate's disappearance must be related to this!"

"So he must have been captured by the Li family and used as an experimental subject?"

"It's highly likely. His extraordinary talent is probably given by the C-Virus, just like the 'mutation source'."

"I really have no idea. Let's not talk about this. You just said that the new ability you gained when you were in a coma two years ago has recovered. Let me see what that is."

Yuan Ze mobilized the energy around him to form internal strength on his fist, and then a deep black mist slowly wrapped around him, and he could vaguely see a black face moving quickly in it. The mysterious power that had made him dizzy before was now mastered by him.

"This is the first time I've seen this kind of power. However, judging from your situation, you should have unlocked the genetic lock in advance." Li Haisheng carefully observed and recorded while mobilizing instruments to examine Yuanze's body.

"Gene lock?"

"As you know, there are nine levels of Source Warriors, and the Nirvana level is almost the limit of human power. However, there are very few people who can break through this Nirvana level, unlock the genetic lock of the body, and gain some special abilities."

"There are also a few geniuses who can obtain the ability of gene lock at the Nirvana level or even earlier. For example, I unlocked it at the extraordinary level."

"Then I am a genius among geniuses. I am only an apprentice."

"Stop interrupting and listen to me." Li Haisheng didn't even raise his head as he tapped on the keyboard in front of the instrument, programming something.

"I discovered the mechanism of gene locks a long time ago, and I also proposed and developed gene programming. I originally wanted to use gene programming technology to develop a C virus to simulate the evolution mechanism of the 'mutation source', so that humans can collectively unlock the gene lock, so that ordinary people can also fight against the source beasts."

Li Haisheng finished what he was doing and turned to Yuanze. The instrument also started to turn automatically.

"Have you seen X-Men?"

"No."

"Yes, those video materials before the catastrophe are difficult for ordinary people to obtain. Simply put, this is the story of a group of mutants who have unlocked their genetic locks and the entanglement with ordinary people."

"Only this?"

"Play Days of Future Past."

As soon as he finished speaking, the film was projected in front of Yuanze through a holographic projection. Yuanze watched curiously, and Li Haisheng also began his own explanation:
"The superpowers possessed by mutants frighten ordinary people, and this fear leads to their rejection and discrimination against mutants. In the film, even high-ranking U.S. officials are afraid of this and want to eliminate all mutants in the name of protecting national security, which leads to fierce conflicts between the two sides and even among mutants themselves..."

While watching the movie, the instrument kept flashing lights. It took about an hour to complete the inspection and enter the stage of data analysis.

After the movie ended, Yuan Ze tilted his head and asked, "Whether they are ordinary people or mutants, they are all human beings and lives. Don't they have the right to survive?"

"That's the point. So what about the current world? Isn't it the opposite? Isn't it a world dominated by a few people? Isn't it equivalent to a small number of 'mutants' firmly holding the power of the 'gene lock' of this world, not allowing ordinary people to get involved?"

Yuanze looked at Li Haisheng with confusion and puzzlement in his eyes.

"You'll understand when you're older." Li Haisheng patted Yuanze on the shoulder. "The data analysis is finished. Here's a simple summary. Take a look for yourself."

Yuanze took the written report:

"My body is normal, my energy value is average, my mental strength is extremely strong, and my special ability is to make people feel like they are in the most frightening thing. It can be understood as the ability to use 'fear'..." "No wonder, a long time ago, two hooligans were scared by my beating. It turned out that my ability was working."

"To be honest, your gene lock ability is quite interesting. Psychic genes are rare. And your mental power can not only defend against mental attacks, but also analyze other people's mental attacks and transform them for your own use. It is worth studying carefully."

"Why can my gene lock be unlocked so early?"

"I have entered all your data. Let me study it slowly." Li Haisheng thought of something in his mind. "If the situation in Yiyang is true, I feel that I am close to inventing a method for all people to unlock their gene locks, or even a method for all people to become Source Warriors. But it's a pity."

"We must rescue Yiyang if we have a chance!"

Yuanze saw that his master was a little unconfident and changed the subject.

"Master, where is your gene lock?"

"Mine? I'll scare you if I tell you this, but my gene lock ability is 'recombinant genes'. Its castrated version is equivalent to the gene programming chip I gave you." A hint of confidence appeared on the corner of Li Haisheng's mouth again.

"Shit, mine is so useless compared to yours. You're just a living 'Sentinel Robot' from the movie."

"I'm not that strong. Ability depends on how you use and develop it. I've basically focused on scientific research, so my combat talent is just so-so."

"Aren't you strong then?"

"You are only slightly stronger than Mr. Yang, but that's not important." Li Haisheng smiled. "You are amazing. You let those two guys who attacked you lose more than they gain. You also unlocked your genes at the trainee level. If I were suddenly attacked, I wouldn't have enough time to program my genes."

"That's why I said, I am a genius among geniuses!" Yuanze suddenly became proud in front of his master.

"There's no good in being arrogant. You should think about why others didn't arrest you. How could those people leave hidden dangers when they do things?" The master knocked Yuanze's head heavily.

"Strategically despise the enemy, tactically take the enemy seriously, and never be without confidence!"

"Is this the confidence that gives you the courage to fight against Elder Yang?"

"Isn't it? This is what you taught me, Master."

"Humph, now you can use my words to lecture me."

Yuanze looked at the master with a bit of seriousness. But the master suddenly smiled happily, a smile that was brighter than ever before, as if he had untied some knot in his heart, a smile as innocent as a child.

Something suddenly popped out from the instrument next to it, with a hint of cold air. Upon closer inspection, it was a plate of capsules similar to medicine.

At the same time, a piece of news popped up, interrupting Li Haisheng's smile.

"Let's go, the antidote is ready. Let's go see Yiyang's grandmother. Elder Yang has also arranged a suitable place for her to live."

Li Haisheng picked up the plate of potions and grabbed Yuanshize like Yang Lao grabbed the chicken last time. He stepped into the portal in front of him and prepared to leave the laboratory.

"Why are you like this?"

"save trouble."
