Wang Gengsheng counted them; there were two to three hundred in total.

Based on the experimental ratio just now, the crystal cores of about one hundred irradiated zombies can be extracted enough to make one intermediate-level potion.

In the following days, the three of them threw themselves into intense experiments.

Ultimately, they successfully created two intermediate-level gene serums using more than two hundred irradiated zombie crystal cores.

Wang Gengsheng carefully dispensed the medicine using a dropper, labeled it, and placed it in a low-temperature storage box.

Then Lin Mo took out two mutated beast crystal cores from his space. One was dug out when he hunted the mutated golden retriever, and the other was obtained from the mutated cat on the server.

The fluorescence intensity of these two crystal cores was significantly higher than that of the radiation zombies; you could feel the surging energy fluctuations just by holding them in your hand.

Wang Gengsheng placed the two mutated beast crystal cores into the analyzer one by one. The moment the test results came out, he excitedly slammed his fist on the table.

The printer needles rapidly struck the paper, spitting out a long string of dense data.

Wang Gengsheng ripped off the test report, pointing to the lines of data highlighted in red, his voice trembling:

"Found it! The amount of that unknown element in this crystal core is dozens of times greater than that in the previous crystal cores!"

Look here...

The number of active units per gram of crystal nucleus has jumped from single digits to three digits compared to the previous crystal nucleus!

If crystal nuclei of this quality were used for extraction, it might be possible to replicate the exact same effects of the potion!

The three immediately readjusted the proportions and put both mutated beast cores into the experimental process.

The centrifuge whirred for a long time, but the separated active elements were only enough to synthesize a small half-dose of advanced medicine.

The pale blue liquid swayed pitifully at the bottom of the test tube, only about a third full of a normal syringe.

Sun Yanran carefully measured it with a dropper, and when she looked up, her eyes showed both excitement and regret:

"Although it's only one-third of the dose, the activity levels do meet the standards of advanced pharmaceutical products."

Lin Mo held the small half-bottle of medicine up to the light, watching the pale blue liquid shimmer slightly in the glass tube, and quickly did some mental calculations.

Two mutated beast cores are only enough to make a small half-potion, meaning that at least five mutated beasts are needed to make a complete high-grade potion.

Five mutated beasts are hard to find in the apocalypse.

It seems this high-grade potion is indeed rare.

He put half of the high-grade potion into his pocket, then picked up another freshly made intermediate potion from the lab table, looked at it under the light, and slowly pushed it into his body by pressing the syringe against his arm.

The sensation of the drug entering the body was much lighter than the last injection of the advanced drug. The pain from bone remodeling was still there, but it was completely within a tolerable range.

A few minutes later, the gene modification was completed. He moved his limbs and could clearly feel that his physical strength had increased again. His pure physical strength had reached the late stage of C-level.

"Old Wang, would you like to give it a try?"

Lin Mo pushed another intermediate-level potion in front of Wang Gengsheng.

Wang Gengsheng is getting old, and his physical functions are declining. If this medicine can improve his physical condition, it will be a good thing for his future research energy.

Wang Gengsheng looked at the light blue injection and hesitated for a while before nodding.

Instead of injecting the whole vial directly, he first diluted a drop and performed a skin test.

Before the sensation of the needle piercing the skin had subsided, a sharp, intense pain spread from the injection site.

Wang Gengsheng winced in pain, gritting his teeth and gasping for breath:

"Sha..."

Xiaolin, am I having an allergic reaction?

Why does it hurt so much?

"It's not an allergy."

Lin Mo leaned against the lab bench, arms crossed, speaking in a calm and unhurried tone.

"This is the reaction for the first injection; it's the body adapting to the genetic modifications, which is normal."

After waiting a while longer, and seeing no redness or allergic reaction in the skin test area on Wang Gengsheng's arm, he took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and then injected the entire vial of medicine into his vein.

The gene modification process, which took more than ten minutes, felt exceptionally long to Wang Gengsheng. He was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely, his teeth were clenched so tightly that they were grinding, and his fingers were gripping the armrests of the chair so hard that his knuckles turned white.

When the pain finally subsided, he slowly opened his eyes and was completely stunned.

He took off his reading glasses and put them on the table, and suddenly realized that he could see the data on the chromatograph in the distance very clearly.

The small characters that were previously difficult to decipher were now crystal clear.

He stood up and stretched, feeling full of energy. The wrinkles on his face had visibly faded, and his once gray hair had sprouted some black stubble.

"My God..."

That's incredible!

Wang Gengsheng paced back and forth in the laboratory with the excitement of a child, sometimes clenching his fist and sometimes stretching out his arms.

"This is simply rejuvenation!"

I feel incredibly strong right now, with inexhaustible energy all over my body!

Oh no, oh no, my wife is going to suffer terribly now!

Lin Mo was quite pleased to see Wang Gengsheng looking as if he had become twenty years younger.

He trusted the old man's research capabilities and character; if he lived a few more decades, he could help him overcome many more technical challenges.

Sun Yanran, standing to the side, was so shocked she couldn't close her mouth.

She witnessed firsthand how Wang Gengsheng transformed from an elderly man with a full head of white hair and a slightly hunched back into a spirited and upright middle-aged man in just over ten minutes.

She pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses, her voice trembling slightly:

"Mr. Wang, you've changed so much!"

He used to look like a grandfather in his sixties or seventies, but now he looks like a middle-aged man.

Wang Gengsheng stood in front of the mirror in the laboratory, touched the wrinkles on his face that had noticeably faded, and then rolled up his sleeve to look at the newly grown muscle lines on his arms:

"Kobayashi, if this thing could be used to mass-produce super soldiers for the country, the army's combat power would be dramatically enhanced."

"Just imagine, a platoon of superhumans, whose physical abilities are several times that of ordinary people, on the battlefield..."

Lin Mo shook his head, interrupting his reverie:

"Old Wang, this thing is very difficult to manufacture."

As you can see, it takes one hundred crystal cores to make one intermediate potion, and one advanced potion requires several advanced crystal cores.

Mass-producing super soldiers for the country is currently unrealistic.

After listening, Wang Gengsheng remained silent for a long while, then sighed:

"Yes, that's true, it's a pity."

But in the future, don't hide away such good things. I, Wang Gengsheng, am no longer this old bone—no, I'm middle-aged now…

We are ready to answer your call anytime.

"You gave me this life; I'll go wherever you point."

Lin Mo smiled and agreed, then looked at Sun Yanran:

"The potion supply is limited this time; we'll give you more if we have extra next time!"

"It's okay, I don't need it or not!"

Although Sun Yan also longed for it, she still waved her hand with feigned modesty.
