129: Breaking through racial restrictions

“Given the current situation, we don't have time to slowly develop new drugs, and these Parasite, influenced by the god particle, might have terrifyingly strong drug resistance.”

“Therefore, the first thing we need to research is how to swiftly and decisively eliminate these Parasite.”

One scholar said, ordering a series of experimental subjects to be prepared and cultivated to test highly effective extermination methods.

Ultimately, they discovered that while these Parasite were powerful and resistant to all currently known anti-Parasite drugs, they were afraid of heat.

When the ambient temperature reached fifty degrees Celsius, their life activities decreased; when it reached sixty degrees Celsius, the Parasite would be on the verge of death.

And once the ambient temperature exceeded sixty degrees Celsius, the Parasite would die rapidly.

“Alright, I understand, but please, professors, continue your research. It is imperative that you develop an antidote.”

The official beside them earnestly pleaded.

Temperatures above sixty degrees Celsius are simply unbearable for the human body, and what's needed is for the human body's temperature to also reach above sixty degrees Celsius.

For the human body, this is fatal.

Using this method to eliminate Parasite would be tantamount to eliminating the patient themselves.

This is unacceptable for a country that prioritizes its people.

At most, it can only be used to prevent the spread of Parasite infection.

“Don't worry, it's our bounden duty.”

The experts responded with grave expressions.

In this field, they were among the strongest people in the country; this was both an honor and a responsibility.

Shangqing City, Wildlife and Plant Administration Bureau.

“This afternoon, we received a text message telling all citizens to stay home, lock their doors and windows, and not contact any suspicious individuals. All radio signals are also broadcasting relevant information.”

“I think this situation is very serious!”

“When Brother Niu returns, we must leave, just in case.”

“Have you notified your parents?”

“Already notified them. I had a bad feeling this morning, so I told them.”

Lin Fei and Chen Xu were chatting, playing online games.

Suddenly, the ward door was pushed open directly!

“Big trouble! Shangqing City is already on lockdown! This infectious phenomenon is caused by a terrifying Parasite, and currently, all drugs are ineffective against it.”

“Even if an Infected person is killed and loses vital activity, they can still be controlled by the Parasite to attack others.”

Brother Niu ran in, his face filled with panic.

Even he couldn't leave directly now.

This situation was too serious and too sudden. Except for a few high-ranking officials who left early, no one else was allowed to leave.

“What?!”

Lin Fei and Chen Xu's expressions changed.

“Outside, it’s completely chaotic. All Security Officers and Armed Security Officers have been dispatched, but they still can't control the situation.”

“You don't know, the speed of transmission is too fast. Basically, once you're bitten, there's no hope.”

“Moreover, even if an Infected person is killed, it can still move and attack people. Only by cutting off their heads and placing them in special containers, or finding a way to kill the Parasite inside, can they be stopped. The Public Security Bureau is almost completely wiped out now!”

“There are countless Infected outside now. We are truly experiencing a biochemical crisis here!”

“However, the Wildlife and Plant Administration Bureau is still holding on. You don't know how powerful the people here are; their skills are no less than those of special forces!”

“But I just found out that the Wildlife and Plant Administration Bureau has also received orders from above to take over from the Public Security Bureau in suppressing the situation.”

Brother Niu said hurriedly. Behind him, eight strong fellow villagers also appeared at this moment.

“Da da da!”

Just then, dense gunshots echoed in the night.

“Damn it! Those Infected are already close to here!”

Brother Niu's expression changed slightly. He had previously gone out with people from the Bureau of Flora and Fauna Administration to suppress the Infected and knew how troublesome these Infected were.

Unlike zombies in movies, even if you cut off the heads of these Infected, the heads can still move and bite people!

The entire Wildlife and Plant Administration Bureau immediately sounded the alarm, and all field personnel actively went on the offensive.

“Brother Niu, come help quickly! We have a mission to go to the First Hospital!”

Just then, the ward door was opened again. Standing outside was an Old Man, around fifty years old, with a burly physique and a ruddy complexion, looking more like he was in his forties.

More importantly, a hint of an aura that made Lin Fei and the others feel a sense of dread occasionally flashed from the Old Man.

“Awakened One!”

Lin Fei thought to himself.

Besides the Old Man, two Young Men also stood at the door.

“Okay, coming now!”

Brother Niu replied, then said to Lin Fei and the others, “Be careful, you must be careful.”

After speaking, Brother Niu followed the Old Man and the two others and left.

“A biochemical crisis caused by Parasite? Could these Parasite also be a product of this global biological mutation?”

Watching Brother Niu leave, Lin Fei said with a solemn expression.

“Definitely. When were Parasite ever this powerful before? If I don't become an Awakened One soon, even if I survive this wave, I won't feel safe!”

“What are Parasite? Bugs crawling into the body? I can crush those things with one hand.”

A strong man suddenly said something astonishing.

“Hey, Brother Niu said not to casually express your Genius ideas. Most people won't understand.”

Another strong man quickly patted his arm.

Lin Fei and Chen Xu exchanged glances, their faces full of black lines... In the Yangtze River.

Mist permeated, a vast expanse of white, covering a part of the river surface. Even the scorching midday sun could not penetrate it.

Beneath the river surface, a terrifying vortex swirled, spanning over a hundred meters. Countless creatures were swept into the very center of the vortex.

There, a terrifying abyssal maw opened, and as the vortex gradually slowed, eight tentacles grabbed the eight largest fish.

【You devoured a Wels Catfish and gained 3026 evolution points.】

【You devoured a Carp and gained 1000 evolution points.】

...Within a few minutes, these eight large fish were devoured by Su Yuan.

Afterward, the river water here, carrying countless fish and shrimp, surged into Su Yuan's mouth.

The System prompts for evolution points never stopped.

Su Yuan's eyes narrowed as he listened; this was the most beautiful sound in the world.

After a while, when the last fish in the vicinity was swallowed by Su Yuan.

Su Yuan opened his eyes.

“Ah, this is great. With the Water Control Technique, combined with large rivers and lakes, the rate of increase in evolution points is even exceeding my expectations.”

Su Yuan's face was full of smiles, which looked somewhat eerie on his gigantic octopus face.

【evolution points: 126688 / 120000】 (Devouring psionic energy is increasing) (Can evolve)

“Evolve. This time, I must Breakthrough the species limit!”

After smiling, Su Yuan's expression became solemn. For safety during the evolution process, he left the Yangtze River and returned to the Underground Dark River.

As a large number of evolution points disappeared, a great power descended within Su Yuan's body, from the inside out, starting from the deepest part of his body.

Under this mighty power, Su Yuan's most fundamental genetic factors, his genes, were undergoing the most fundamental, most Origin transformation.

This change was unprecedented!

In the dark Underground Dark River, time lost its meaning.

After an unknown period, Su Yuan woke up.

The moment his pair of gigantic eyes opened, all living creatures around him felt a chill in their bones and fled frantically.

“So relaxed.”

Su Yuan was somewhat surprised. The feeling after this evolution was the most unique; his entire body had an indescribable sense of lightness.

It was as if he had always been moving with a huge stone on his back, supporting the sky, but now, all burdens were gone, and his entire body felt incredibly light and comfortable.

Without even looking at the system panel, Su Yuan keenly noticed that his body had grown larger again.

The limit of the octopus species had been broken by him!

Su Yuan was absolutely certain.

He smiled faintly and opened the system panel. Sure enough, a line of System prompts stood out clearly there.

【Congratulations, Host, for breaking through the limits of your own species! Your life form has never been recorded or named in the current world. Please name your species.】

“Haha! As expected, I've broken through the limits of my original species.”

Su Yuan chuckled, not surprised. His current state already explained everything.

“Naming the species, huh? Those two people who were affected by my skill, didn't they call me the primordial lord of eternal life? Since the species name can be chosen freely, let's go with that.”

Su Yuan smiled softly and said, “Species name: lord of eternal life!”
