Probably seeing their straight-man awkward self-esteem, Professor Ji comforted them, "It's okay. If used well, the beastified parts can actually bring you additional abilities."
For example, mimicking claws can be used to scratch people, and if you have cat-like paw pads, you can jump from high places unharmed like they do.
Mimicking a tail can help maintain balance, and you can even use the tail to attack people.
Like an alligator's tail.
Professor Ji said this very seriously, "You should try to choose mutation cores that match yourself as much as possible. In other words, ordinary ability users cannot withstand multiple types of mutation core serums. The maximum tolerance is only five types."
But he suggested not to exceed three types, trying to select the most suitable ones for oneself within three types, and then only using that fixed type in the future.
Otherwise, the body would explode.
"At the same time, you may have noticed a problem. After injecting the mutation core serum, you will have mimicry like mutants. So this serum cannot be used by mutants, but they can improve their level by consuming diluted mutation core liquid of the same type. Meanwhile, we've discovered a new issue."
Professor Ji clicked to the next page of the app with a heavy expression. It was a video showing a lizard man screaming in pain, going berserk while saying he didn't want to lose his sanity. It was a very manic state.
In the end, he still completely lost his sanity and was regrettably killed.
"Whether ability users or mutants, when the virus load in the body is too high, they will lose their sanity. Therefore, ability users absolutely cannot seek shortcuts by directly consuming mutation cores or injecting too much diluted mutation core serum at once."
Professor Ji said this problem was very serious and asked them to remember this point, otherwise they would eventually become terrible mindless monsters.
This topic became somewhat heavy.
Qin Luo and the others weren't concerned about themselves, but all turned to look at Xu Duoduo.
The little zombie was still looking up at the PowerPoint, watching the lizard man in it screaming in pain, crying out that he didn't want to die, begging to be saved, that he didn't want to lose his sanity.
As if someday in the future, she might become like this too.
It was inevitably saddening.
Professor Ji also noticed this and couldn't help but smile, "I didn't expect your team to have such good feelings for each other. Don't worry, as long as it's well controlled, mutants won't turn into monsters so quickly. Remember our base's principle? We never compromise with the apocalypse, we never give up on any human being. No one will abandon you."
The last sentence was directed at the little zombie. Xu Duoduo couldn't help but look at Professor Ji. His smile was very reassuring, so she nodded. She was willing to believe these hardworking researchers.
Professor Ji then smiled at Qin Luo and the other four, "So, how about you four? Do you want to try injecting the diluted mutation core serum and experience it? At normal doses, this stuff won't endanger life."
Just the side effects might be a bit uncomfortable.
The serum was rare.
Qin Luo and the other four looked at each other, you looking at me, me looking at you.
Finally, they nodded resignedly.
What else could they do?
They had to keep up with the pace, otherwise, if their strength couldn't keep up, they wouldn't be able to survive in the apocalypse.
Seeing a 17-year-old girl, previously from a martial arts school, never been a soldier, but able to kick off the head of a two-star lizard monster with one foot...
They had trained so hard for so long, a team that had been honing themselves since the beginning of the apocalypse, yet they still struggled against two-star mutant monsters.
If they didn't make up this gap, they would really be washed up by the new wave.
Seeing the four of them nod, Professor Ji contentedly took out several password-protected boxes, "Come on, take a look at what I've prepared for you."
Because he knew them well enough.
Support the author by searching for the original publication of this novel.
Professor Ji had actually selected diluted mutation core serums that were more suitable for them early on.
He was just teasing them.
He also knew they would definitely agree. How could such a strong team as 3A, who pursued combat power, be content to watch others surpass them?
Qin Luo and the others took their own serums and awkwardly went out to get injections.
Chen Xiaofei was still muttering, "Wuwu, I hope I don't grow an eagle head. That would be so ugly! I'd rather grow eagle feet than have my head turn into an eagle's head!"
Xu Duoduo waited for them to return in the conference room, swaying her body in anticipation. Although she couldn't take the diluted mutation core serum, Professor Ji had given her a box of twelve bottles of diluted mutation core liquid, pink in color.
"This is strawberry flavored. Little girls should like it. It's made from one-star mutated flower cores. You can drink it when you're free. It can also improve your strength a bit."
Xu Duoduo didn't dare tell Professor Ji that she had been chewing mutation cores dry like candy, so she obediently typed a [Thank you] on her tablet and put away the box of diluted liquid.
Professor Ji nodded with a smile. Just then, another combat team arrived, so he went to answer their questions. It was just a matter of a few words.
Someone suddenly glanced inside, their gaze fixed on the little zombie, then fell on the collar on her neck. Xu Duoduo uncomfortably touched her collar, her mood suddenly becoming low.
She even bared her teeth at the person angrily.
"Pfft, so this is 3A team's new member? Apart from a pretty face, she seems very ordinary. I don't understand why Captain Qin would recruit this kind of person."
Hearing this, Professor Ji warned, "Did you feed your manners to the dogs?"
Only then did the person perfunctorily apologize, "Ah, sorry, sorry. I'm just straightforward."
The little zombie was about to get angry! She was just about to go out and beat up this judgmental person, and even take out her chainsaw to give him a taste.
But the next second, this big guy flew out. Yes, he really flew out. Faint electric currents flashed in the air, along with a familiar scent!!
Xu Duoduo's eyes widened. It was the fresh scent of mint fruit candy!
At the same time, Qin Luo's cool voice rang out from outside, "What kind of cat or dog dares to criticize my team member? Who do you think you are?"
Professor Ji also exclaimed in surprise, "You kid, not bad! You mimicked so quickly! Less than ten minutes, right? Others take at least two or three hours, the slowest even ten hours. You're amazing! Good boy! Quick, come with me to test what your ability value is."
Qin Luo let Professor Ji go first, "You go ahead, I'll be there shortly."
Seeing him glance into the conference room, Professor Ji patted Qin Luo's shoulder with a smile, "Alright, I'll wait for you over there. Hurry up, don't waste time."
He said as he hurried towards the testing room, his face full of excitement.
Qin Luo had once again delivered an amazing result. You should know that the earlier the mimicry succeeds, the easier it is to absorb, and the future potential is limitless!
As for the foul-mouthed guy who got beaten, Professor Ji didn't care about him at all. Not to mention his foul mouth, getting beaten up would teach him a lesson. Besides, ability users weren't that fragile. Being kicked once wouldn't kill him, at worst he'd be in pain for a few days.
Professor Ji was busy preparing for the test. Qin Luo was the most important research subject.
"Look at you, what's the use of getting all puffed up when others insult you? You should snarl back! Come back later and I'll help you settle the score. You can beat him up however you want."
Qin Luo had just entered the door and started lecturing Xu Duoduo. He had just gotten the injection and was feeling dizzy and hot all over. He had just walked out of the clinic when he heard this dog insulting her, which made him rush over in three or five steps.
The little zombie felt wronged. She was just about to counterattack when he arrived!
But when she saw him at first glance, all her anger instantly disappeared.
Because of the unusually hot weather, Qin Luo had just worn a black tank top and jacket when he left. He had taken off his jacket for the injection and didn't put it back on when he came out feeling hot, just holding it in his hand. Now his good figure was fully revealed.
His height of 189cm was no joke. Tall stature, solid chest, nice muscle lines on his arms, tight abdomen, plus camouflage combat pants and black boots, making his legs look long and straight.
That waist was really powerful!
His face was very handsome, with sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, a high nose bridge, and red lips. Especially when he was impatient, he looked really cool, but when he was relaxed, he looked adorably bad. Plus that single small fang was very special.
But now!!
Now he had a pair of gray, fluffy upright ears on top of his head!! He was a big doggy!!
The little zombie was stunned.
He was frowning and muttering to her, complaining that she was easily bullied.
"You're already small, and being bullied makes you look even more pitiful. Forget it, from now on, stick close to me. Wherever I go, you go, got it?"
Qin Luo said very seriously. If it weren't for his flushed face, you'd really think he was being serious. But then he noticed the little zombie was dazed again.
"Comrade Xu Duoduo, your captain is lecturing you! You dare to be distracted?"
But the next second, the little zombie grabbed his tank top, making Qin Luo bend down. Otherwise, his black tank top would turn into a V-neck cleavage outfit!!
The next second.
She grabbed the ears on his head, and the little zombie actually got so excited she let out an "Awoo."
Qin Luo's face instantly turned bright red. He stood up straight abruptly, the wolf tail behind him involuntarily swaying. The little zombie let out another "Awoo" and pounced to hug his big tail, making his whole body shudder uncontrollably.
The sensation went straight from his tailbone to the top of his head!!
Damn!
He had actually forgotten about the mimicry!
