This submarine crack is about 500 meters long, and the widest point is only 30 meters, so this is why it is called a crack and not a canyon.

Based on the radiation concentration in the crack, if Gene Fragment 17 cannot be successfully fused to gain immunity to radiation, and the genome is facing collapse, Xu Kunzhen is estimated to have only a few days to live.

Either reach the sky or fall into the abyss, so be it!

Xu Kun gritted his teeth, and then entered the seabed crack without looking back. The radiation in the crack had made Xu Kun very uncomfortable before.

But now that he has entered the crack, it stands to reason that the concentration of radiation should be higher than that at the edge of the crack, but Xu Kun does not feel any discomfort, and the pain of his genes being on the verge of collapse has actually been alleviated.

Is this a psychological effect? ​​But this cannot be explained at all by psychological effects.

A reasonable speculation is that although the fusion of gene segment 17 has not yet ended, Xu Kun has still gained some immunity to unknown radiation. In this case, the unknown radiation promoted the fusion of gene segment 17 in the genome, so he

Only then will the physical pain be alleviated.

Does this mean you are here right? Thinking of this, Xu Kun felt a little comforted.

Xu Kun had used inductance to detect this crack before. Above a depth of two hundred, there was no sign of life at all, and the source of the radiation could not be found.

Below two hundred meters, the space of the crack becomes much larger, and there are many complicated passages in it. Even Xu Kun's inductive ability cannot detect the ends of those passages.

At such a depth, the sun's rays can no longer reach it, and it is a completely dark world. I don't know if it is because the radiation here is relatively strong, but Xu Kun has been able to detect some mutant radiation species swimming in it.

But overall, the resources here are very scarce, with very few plants and animals.

This can also explain why the mutated Tost giant squid goes outside the cracks to hunt.

"The radiation concentration here should be enough, right?"

Since this was a completely unfamiliar environment to Xu Kun, when he dived to a depth of 400 meters, he was unwilling to continue diving, and the water pressure at this time had reached his limit.

Thinking of this, Xu Kun used the "diagnosis" authority. After a moment, a piece of information appeared in front of Xu Kun's eyes:

Check results:

【Normal blood pressure】

【Pulse normal】

【Organs work normally】

【Abnormal hormone secretion in the body】

Diagnostic opinion:

[The instability of the genome is under control, the situation of gene fusion remains to be seen, and there is a risk of genetic mutation.]

Handling comments:

[After gene fusion is completed, leave the radiation environment as soon as possible]

When he saw the information in front of him, a stone in Xu Kun's heart finally fell to the ground. Now he has to find a temporary place to stay and leave here as soon as the gene fusion is completed.

Xu Kun swam slowly and searched carefully with his electromagnetic ability. After ten minutes, he found a cave on the stone wall of a crack on the seabed.

Xu Kun carefully searched the cave with his electromagnetic ability, and only entered after confirming that there was no radiation species inside.

This cave is much larger than Xu Kun's previous cave at the bottom of the cliff, about four meters high and more than 20 meters deep.

Xu Kun swam to the deepest part of the cave, hoping in his heart that the gene fusion could be completed soon.

I don’t know how much time passed, but Xu Kun suddenly detected an unknown life form through his inductive ability. It had a cylindrical body and was nearly twenty meters long. To Xu Kun, it was a huge creature.

"Damn, don't come here!"

But what he was afraid of was that the huge unknown mutated radiation species actually came to where Xu Kun was hiding.

"You won't be discovered by him, right?"

Just as this idea emerged, the huge mutant radiation species had already arrived at the entrance of the cave. It had evolved light-emitting organs and its whole body was emitting a strange light.

Xu Kun quickly used his color-changing ability to hide his figure, and then he suddenly realized that this place turned out to be the nest of this mutant creature. It had probably gone out to hunt before, and now it has returned to its nest.

[Name: Prehistoric Bobbitt Worm (Mutation)]

[Type: Marine worm]

【Life Level:3】

[Body length: 18 meters]

【Weight: 1.5 tons】

After entering the cave, the light on this mutated Bobbit worm gradually extinguished, and it seemed that it was going to rest.

Originally, marine organisms like the Bobbitt worm lived in the sand on the seabed, but since there was no sand for it to live in, it changed its living habits and chose to live in caves on the cracked stone walls.

Xu Kun carefully stayed aside, trying not to disturb the mutated Bobbitt. After waiting for a long time and confirming through electrical induction that it was asleep, he tried to swim out of the cave quietly.

But when Xu Kun swam to the entrance of the cave, he finally alerted the mutant Bobbitt bug. The Bobbitt bug's light-emitting organ suddenly emitted a strange light. It turned around and started chasing the intruder.

Xu Kun knew that he was exposed, so he stopped tiptoeing and swam at full speed to escape the pursuit of the mutated Bobbitt bug.

In this crack world, the law of the jungle has always been strong. Since mutated creatures cannot leave the current radiation environment, they can only hunt in this closed environment. Then food has become a very scarce resource. This is why there are very few mutated creatures here.

Because most of them have become food for more powerful mutated creatures.

This is very similar to the situation of "raising gu". Those who survive in the end are the strongest in this environment.

This mutated bobbit worm is very powerful, with fast movements, fast swimming, and sharp senses. It is not easy for Xu Kun to get rid of it with dexterous movement.

There were several times when the mutant Bobbitt bug was about to catch Xu Kun. Thanks to his ability to discharge electricity, the danger was saved. However, this method was not sustainable because the electricity stored in Xu Kun's body was limited after all. When the electricity in his body was exhausted,

, then it will be Xu Kun’s death.

Just when Xu Kun was desperate, he suddenly saw a ray of light in the darkness, so he subconsciously swam there, like a moth flying into a flame.

The mutated Bobbitt worm rushed over, trying to bite Xu Kun. But at this moment, something swallowed half of its body into its belly. The mutated Bobbitt worm struggled hard, but its body was blocked.

Break.

The mutated bobbit insect's half body was still able to swim even though it had no head. It quickly twisted its body and escaped. Only then did Xu Kun use his electric induction ability to see clearly the guy who attacked the mutated bobbit insect.

It was a radioactive mutant with a tubular body structure.
