Wasteland: My Items Can Be Infinitely Upgraded-Chapter 447 - 222: Wolf Race Inheritance Trial, Evolutionary Metamorphosis (Part 2)

Chapter 447: Chapter 222: Wolf Race Inheritance Trial, Evolutionary Metamorphosis (Part 2)

So in just a moment, the Divine Dog sank its brand-new fangs into the target’s neck.

Its explosive jaw muscles delivered an astonishing bite force, directly snapping the enemy’s cervical vertebrae.

With the advantages of explosive speed and power, it swiftly killed the first target.

However, before the Divine Dog could take a breather, another bloodthirsty Desert Wolf had already pounced.

Luckily, the recent kill created a safe zone for the Divine Dog to turn and dodge.

With a quick twist, it evaded the attack, and immediately launched forward with its hind legs, completing a second kill.

After killing two Desert Wolves of the same level in one breath, the Divine Dog discovered that although their bodies vanished, their murderous intent lingered in its mouth and flowed into its body.

As the two parts of murderous intent entered its body, not only did it maintain the Divine Dog’s stamina, but it also replenished the energy expended in the previous attack, restoring it to its optimal state.

Seeing this, the Divine Dog’s eyes filled with even more murderous intent as it began to actively charge at three Desert Wolves of the same level climbing up a large rock.

At this moment, filled with murderous force, fierce combat erupted as one phantom Desert Wolf after another died beneath the jaws of the Divine Dog’s fangs.

And its condition only continued to improve.

Until the 100th phantom Desert Wolf was slain, the Divine Dog suddenly felt that the murderous intent within had reached an upper limit, and it further elevated this limit.

The effect and change brought about this raise in the apex of its explosive power limit by a few degrees.

Originally, the limit was at 0.95, but now it had risen to the level of 0.951.

Indeed, killing so many phantom Desert Wolves wasn’t in vain; they not only restored its condition but also allowed it to break through its power limit when accumulated to a certain extent.

Feeling a slight increase in power, the murderous intent in the Divine Dog’s eyes became even more fierce.

To it, the sea of phantom Desert Wolves was a stepping stone on the path to evolution.

Meanwhile, outside the iron cage, in the real world.

With the assistance of an assistant, Ding Yi was attaching electrodes to the Divine Dog’s body for detection while occasionally extracting tiny amounts of blood from the needle wound injecting the Desert Wolf Source Material.

He observed under a microscope placed nearby.

The changes in the cells within the blood most accurately reflected the condition of the surgical experiment subject.

Initially, the cells in the blood were mostly destroyed by the invasive Source Material, with less than 10% of the cells withstanding the intense transformation, proliferating, and splitting into new cell bodies, that is, the next generation of more advanced, stronger cells.

Once these new cells were born, they would feed on the very weak old cells post-division, and by eliminating the mutated weak remnants among them, they would restore, accumulate enough power, and proceed to the next round of proliferation division.

This process would grow exponentially at a rate of 2n...

Within just a few minutes, tens of thousands of cell divisions and metamorphoses took place.

During this massive transformation, a small portion of the original Level 8 or 9 Enhanced Cells would successfully complete qualitative evolution, becoming Evolutionary Cells, and absorb the remaining Source Material, continuing the modification process thereafter.

However, the follow-up evolution process was not as intense as the initial metamorphosis, partly due to Source Material shortages, and partly due to a lack of Energy.

Evolutionary Cells require more Energy to split into the same level of Advanced cells. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

To ensure host survival, after completing 10% of cell metamorphosis, the intense metamorphic reaction would subside and become calm.

At this time, the evolved cells that completed metamorphosis would gather and clump together in one part of the body, forming a cluster known as Evolutionary Tissue.

This is the Evolutionary Meat of an evolutionary life form.

It not only contains vast amounts of Life Source Material but also through the clustering of evolutionary cells, activates trait parts of gene fragments.

Subsequently, awakened superpowers emerge.

This is essentially a biological trait that is enhanced during evolution, transforming from a micro-level dominant gene fragment into a macro-level special ability.

This ability characteristically differs among species; for example, different Evolutionary Desolate Beasts possess different abilities, exhibiting variability even among individuals.

This is especially evident among humans.

Primarily because after becoming Earth’s apex predators, the rate of human gene turnover is the fastest, constantly absorbing genetic fragments from other species.

For example, vaccination involves antibodies based on weakened viruses; once absorbed by the body, the immune system’s cells recognize the virus and kill it.

Combined with population mobility, genetic exchange among human groups is relatively abundant.

Unlike other lower beasts with fixed regional tribe genes, without human interference, it takes centuries or even millennia for branches to bring new bloodlines.

Thus, the diversity in human personalities results in a wide range of dominant gene expressions, with recorded superpowers alone amounting to hundreds of different types.

Many superpowers remain undocumented because the Evolvers who possessed them died early in the catastrophic changes, losing this precious resource.

Such a variety of superpowers, categorized into different types, allows humans to adapt to a wide array of environments.

Thus, even during the catastrophic Old Earth Era, humanity eventually returned to the top of the food chain; even the Marine King Beasts, which had risen first, no longer dared to provoke their land-dominating terrestrial relatives lightly.

These mammals were ultimately losers in the land competition; though they took evolution’s initial advantage, they could only establish deep-sea dominion at most.

The rise of the Wolf Race was meant to be a stumbling block for humans, a hope to slow down human evolutionary footsteps.

But now, time flies, and the world has changed...

The former ocean dominators have vanished without a trace.

Even if there are survivors, they are likely hiding in remote underground depths, not daring to easily leave the underground water sources.

However, the legacy they left behind still holds secondary utilization value.

Currently, Ding Yi has preserved the entire transformation process of the Wolf Race’s Enhanced Cells to Evolutionary Cells, each different stage holding significant research value.

At the same time, macro monitoring of the Divine Dog recorded the entire metamorphosis process.

This would provide valuable reference when later injecting humans with the Desert Wolf Evolution Agent.

Transforming ordinary people directly into Evolvers is more challenging and difficult than allowing Evolvers to consume Desert Wolf Source Material to alter evolution pathways.

"Its evolution process is exceptionally slow; the transformation of evolutionary cells continues generation after generation, with nearly each generation changing."

"Therefore, its rate of Energy consumption is several times higher than that of human evolution, requiring at least a quarter of its body weight in Level 9 food, along with the development of an abdominal primitive pouch to complete metamorphosis."

While observing through the microscope, Han Yu Yu recorded the metamorphic conclusions.

The primitive pouch is the excess flesh on the abdomen of felines, typically used to store extra nutrition, essentially a fatty belly pouch.

For carnivores, such a primitive pouch allows them to endure ten days of hunger, the best strategy for wild survival during prey-scarce seasons.

During times of abundant prey, they consume more and accumulate Energy to sustain themselves through harsh periods.

This is especially evident among bear species, relying on their fat for hibernation.

Now, in the Evolution Era, this primitive pouch is a means to satisfy evolution consumption.

On the side, Ding Yi nodded, noting that an hour had already passed, and the Divine Dog’s physical characteristics had stabilized, marking the end of the most intense metamorphic stage.

Then spoke:

"I’ll leave the following matters to you, I need to make a trip to Holy Spring Village. When the Divine Dog awakens, feed it some water and Level 9 jerky, but don’t let it out yet."

Han Yu Yu agreed with a nod.

Shen Yue then left the first-floor lab of the carriage and proceeded to the second-floor incubation room to retrieve the concentrated venom accumulated these days.

There was a full one hundred milliliters.

After draining thousands of poisonous insects, then filtering and concentrating them three times, they obtained this bottle of pure venom.

With the venom in hand, Ding Yi called on Ah Lian to accompany him into Holy Spring Village.

Led by guards, they found Father Su An, who had just left the lab.

Seeing the two in front of him, Father Su An, his face weary, immediately broke into a smile.

"I’ve brought the items you requested!"
