Shared talent: Please, countless versions of me!

After several rings, Bai Xiaofei finally answered the phone.

"Hey? Zhang Shan? What's up?" Bai Xiaofei's flippant voice came through the phone, while Zhang Shan's tone was serious: "From now on, absolutely no drinking tap water! Also, pack your bags and bring your girlfriend to the lab to see me! Hurry up! It'll be too late if you're late!"

Hearing Zhang Shan's serious voice on the other end of the phone, Bai Xiaofei dropped his playful expression and called out to Xiao Wei, who was making dinner behind him, "Wife! Pack your things, let's go to Zhang Shan's!"

Ever since he learned that he had a cousin named Bai Xiaofei, Zhang Shan has been in frequent contact with Bai Xiaofei, and over the years, the two have developed a good relationship.

At Zhang Shan's suggestion, Bai Xiaofei and Xiao Wei started living together six months ago. Although they still sleep in separate rooms, it's better than when the virus broke out and they were completely separated.

In the kitchen, Xiaowei frowned and asked, "What happened?"

"I don't know, but Zhang Shan is a super genius scientist. If he's this serious, it must be something serious!" Bai Xiaofei quickly packed a few clothes and left the apartment with his wife.

For safety reasons, Zhang Shan specifically asked the two to rent an apartment not far from him. At this moment, the two went downstairs and saw that some people on the street had turned into zombies and were tearing at pedestrians.

The sight of blood splattering made their scalps tingle, and they quickened their pace considerably!

After fleeing all the way, the two arrived at Zhang Shan's villa without any major incident.

Because the virus outbreak has just begun, there aren't many people who have turned into zombies yet. If they wait until tomorrow morning and try to escape, they will have to face the same things that Bai Xiaofei experienced in the original story.

"No, what exactly is going on?"

Upon arriving at the underground laboratory, Bai Xiaofei anxiously inquired.

“As you can see, someone has poisoned the tap water, and now the entire city of H has been affected,” Zhang Shan replied, though his attention remained focused on the computer in front of him.

He and Mu Tiancai had just extracted the special substance from the tap water, and he would only be assisting Mu Tiancai in the next stage of the project.

Although Zhang Shan started learning biology in high school, he still couldn't compare to Mu Tiancai. The main research direction of the God Gene was always led by Mu Tiancai, while Zhang Shan was responsible for miscellaneous tasks.

Looking at the dazzling array of data before him, Bai Xiaofei frowned and asked, "What are you doing?"

His quick mind had already considered a possibility, and in an instant, his eyes filled with terror as he looked at his younger brother.

"As you can see, we are researching the origin of the virus, striving to decipher it as soon as possible, and producing a serum," Zhang Shan replied casually.

Preparing serum samples was indeed a step in their experiment; after all, it's better to be prepared.

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaofei breathed a heavy sigh of relief. He was genuinely afraid that his younger brother was conducting some kind of evil experiment, which might eventually leak the virus and cause this biohazard crisis.

"That's fine. Your sister-in-law and I will rest for a bit and grab something to eat. Call us when you're done. We rushed over without even having dinner!"

Chapter 12 What outcome are you ultimately seeking?

Zhangshan may lack many things, but it has no shortage of food.

To cope with the current situation, Zhang Shan prepared a lot of food and drink on the basement floor of his house. Even if two more people came, they would have enough to eat and drink for two years.

"Holy crap! Premium beef! And select vegetables! No way! What is all this?!" Bai Xiaofei was shocked. He rarely saw these kinds of foods, and his younger brother had stored them in a cold storage?

Is this the world of the rich? Bai Xiaofei's worldview was shaken.

A few days later, Zhang Shan and Mu Tiancai came out of the laboratory and saw Bai Xiaofei looking outside with a binoculars, occasionally letting out strange noises.

"What are you doing?" Zhang Shan snatched the binoculars from Bai Xiaofei's hand and looked over.

At this time, the outside world had completely become a paradise for zombies, with various evolved conjoined zombies hunting everywhere to grow stronger.

"Giant zombies have already evolved. Hopefully, our lab can hold on for a while longer," Zhang Shan said.

"What can't we hold on to?" Mu Tiancai laughed. "I've already developed infrasound that can control the zombies' movements. As long as we have infrasound, even if we swagger out, the zombies won't hurt us."

“That thing only works on the lowest-level zombies who have no sense of reason. Once the zombie king comes out to lead the zombie horde, the infrasound will instantly lose its effect.” Zhang Shan said, “Brother Fei, pay close attention to the news online these next two days. Genius and I may not have time to take care of you anymore. You must not leave the villa. I can still protect you here, but if you go too far, I can’t help you.”

"Don't worry! I'm keeping to myself!" Bai Xiaofei gave Zhang Shan an OK sign, telling him not to worry about him.

There's food, drink, and lodging here, and even the game consoles are the most advanced. He must be out of his mind to go out like that!

“Alright, I’m going to take a nap and rest. Then we’ll begin the next stage of the God Gene,” Zhang Shan said.

After drinking a bottle of mineral water, Mu Tiancai behind him fell asleep on the sofa.

A few hours later.

After Zhang Shan and Mu Tiancai re-entered the laboratory, Bai Xiaofei was still wondering what the "God Gene" that Zhang Shan had mentioned earlier was.

"Xiaofei, there's a booster potion for sale online, something like KW74, it costs 100,000 yuan. Is it reliable?" Xiaowei was browsing the web when she accidentally came across the booster potion that Bai Xiaofei had inserted into his heart in the original story. She thought it might increase their chances of survival in this apocalypse, so she asked Bai Xiaofei.

"No need. Zhang Shan said he can research the God Gene, and just from the name, you know it's more powerful than this enhancement potion. We just need to wait to be carried to victory," Bai Xiaofei said with a smile.

Ten hours later, Zhang Shan emerged from the lab with bloodshot eyes. He looked at the sleeping Bai Xiaofei, went up to him, and slapped him twice to wake him up.

"What are you doing? I was sleeping soundly." Bai Xiaofei looked confused.

"Stop talking nonsense, I'm going to draw two vials of blood from you. We need them for the experiment." Zhang Shan took out a rubber band, tied it around Bai Xiaofei's arm, and drew three vials of blood with a syringe.

"Press it with your hand for five minutes."

After saying that, he turned and left without waiting for Bai Xiaofei's reaction.

Bai Xiaofei was still confused: "Wait, why do you need my blood for your experiment? And didn't you say there would be two vials?"

Rolling his eyes, Bai Xiaofei pressed down on the spot where he had his blood drawn and fell fast asleep again.

After falling asleep, Bai Xiaofei, who was having a wet dream, suddenly found himself on a battlefield. All around him were people fighting, and blood wet his eyes, turning the world before him into a blood-red mess.

"kill!!!"

Meanwhile, in Zhang Shan's laboratory.

"The God Gene has been almost fully optimized. The lab rats we just tested didn't have any of the Corpse Brother's characteristics after awakening. I think we can use the God Gene to strengthen ourselves!" Mu Tiancai was quite excited. He could already see himself, after evolving, wreaking havoc on all sides!

"Wait a little longer. There are still some steps to go before the injection of the God Gene," Zhang Shan said, stopping Mu Tiancai from using the God Gene right now.

While the current God Gene can awaken superpowers and grant various incredible abilities, its upper limit is still too low. According to the world's classification, the God Gene can at most strengthen a person to the Earth level, which is the highest limit achievable even after considering various superpowers. Whether it can continue to become stronger in the future is still unknown.

Therefore, Zhang Shan obtained Bai Xiaofei's blood, intending to analyze it to extract the killing factor, and then use the killing factor as a basis to create a divine gene that is most suitable for Bai Xiaofei.

If his experiment succeeds, he will then create the most suitable divine gene for himself and Mu Tiancai based on their genetic code, so that their underlying genes will not change due to the future development direction of the divine gene, turning them into something neither human nor ghost.

Holding the God's Gene, along with the factors extracted from Bai Xiaofei's blood, Zhang Shan began his first experiment.

~

"32 activations, begin."

"60 activations, begin."

"130 activations, begin."

For the next two days, Zhang Shan completely gave up sleep and began his experiments without rest.

Despite numerous efforts, the reactions of the two factors were already quite strong, but they still did not reach the perfect state that Zhang Shan desired.

Mu Tiancai rubbed his temples, feeling utterly weak, and said, "Brother, what kind of outcome do you really want?"

"Stop singing! Be serious!" Zhang Shan said.

"No, I think the reaction of these two factors has far exceeded my expectations. With this serum, as long as Fei Ge is injected, he will take off on the spot and become a superman, with a punch that has the force of fifty tons. Aren't you satisfied with that?"

“No, I think he still has a lot of room for growth.” Zhang Shan shook his head and said his thoughts: “As long as there is still room for growth, it means that our divine genes have not been developed to their limit. When the divine genes are used on us, it will be far from achieving the fusion effect that Fei Ge had!”

Zhang Shan wasn't worried about Bai Xiaofei's strength at all. Even without the sixty years of internal energy Xiao Meng gave him, as long as Bai Xiaofei awakened the Killing Bloodline, he would be guaranteed to be a strong Earth-level expert. After a little training at home, the higher-ups of Yanhuang would approach him and offer him things to increase his power, allowing him to grow up quickly.

But Mu Tiancai and I don't have that kind of treatment. If we don't build up the lower and upper limits of the God Gene, we won't even reach the Earth level after awakening. If we encounter the Corpse King as soon as we go out, the two of us will probably become nourishment for the Corpse King in no time!

"I see..." Mu Tiancai finally understood Zhang Shan's thoughts and immediately felt guilty for his impatience just now. Look, Brother Shan is working so hard for them!

At this moment, Zhang Shan temporarily stopped the experiment, turned around and picked up a vial of serum, saying, "Let's go, let's awaken Fei Ge first, then have him send the serum out and let H City return to normal."

Chapter 13 Zhang Shan's Goal

The lab door opened, and Bai Xiaofei and Xiao Wei were hugging each other while watching a TV show, with some fine fruit on the table.

It seems that the two are living a very comfortable life.

Zhang Shan approached Bai Xiaofei, handed him the serum, and said, "Come outside with me and get this injected. I guarantee you'll be able to walk around H City with impunity."

"Injection? You're not going to inject some weird stuff into my body, are you? Shan! I'm your brother! You can't use me as a guinea pig!" Bai Xiaofei put on a stellar performance; anyone who didn't know better would think Zhang Shan had really done something to him!

"Be normal! Your sister-in-law is still here!" Zhang Shan was speechless. Bai Xiaofei was reliable when it mattered, but most of the time he was incredibly nonsensical!

He forcibly dragged Bai Xiaofei outside, casually smashing a few zombies, leaving Bai Xiaofei completely stunned!

"No way? Holy crap? Bro! You're so Dior-like?" Bai Xiaofei was almost incoherent. He thought everyone was just an ordinary person, but it turns out you've quietly become invincible?

"After the serum is injected, you can easily do these things too."

Upon hearing Zhang Shan's words, Bai Xiaofei, who had been looking timid, instantly changed his expression, and his hand holding the serum stopped trembling!

"You know, I've always been willing to dedicate myself to science!"

Zhang Shan rolled his eyes and led the group forward, stopping only in a plaza far from the laboratory.

"Inject the serum here. Even if you make a big commotion, it won't affect the lab."

Bai Xiaofei nodded and injected the serum into his arm without hesitation!

boom!

As the serum was injected into his blood vessels, it felt as if something inside Bai Xiaofei's body had exploded! The deafening sound made his ears ring!

At the same time, wisps of red killing intent emanated from Bai Xiaofei's body, and his original black hair and eyes instantly turned red.

boom! !

As the serum was absorbed, Bai Xiaofei's killing intent materialized, tearing apart the surrounding earth.

At the same time, these detached killing intents transformed into an armored figure behind Bai Xiaofei, coldly observing everything around him. But just a few seconds later, this figure completely merged with Bai Xiaofei. At this moment, Bai Xiaofei's aura reached its peak, and the surrounding zombies fled in all directions, not daring to approach the square where Bai Xiaofei and the others were.

Not far away, Zhang Shan saw this scene and laughed, "See, I told you Fei-ge was cheating, completely different from us!"

Xiao Wei and Mu Tiancai nodded in agreement. Looking at Bai Xiaofei's murderous expression now, who would have thought that this kid was a goofball just a few minutes ago?

A few minutes later, Bai Xiaofei's awakening ended. Feeling the surging power within his body, Bai Xiaofei carefully looked at the ground, lifted his foot, and jumped more than ten meters high!

"Damn it! What's going on?"

"Hmm, looks like he's still that goofball." Zhang Shan stroked his chin. Judging from Bai Xiaofei's aura just now, the other party's strength should have far surpassed his current level. It's really disheartening.

But when Zhang Shan thought about his upcoming experiments, he felt that the future was bright.

Immediately, he called Mu Tiancai back to the laboratory to begin the final phase of the God Gene project.
