Chapter 002: Phytophthora
Langya Town Guardian Army, in front of the Langya Legion barracks.
"Shen Zheng? That genius with an adaptation value of 98?" After receiving Shen Zheng's check-in card, the veteran who greeted the new recruits immediately widened his eyes, stood up hurriedly, and saluted him with a military salute, which made Shen Zheng feel uncomfortable for a while. measures.
"Genius, it's that genius!" There were hundreds of young soldiers who came to report. Someone nearby heard this and immediately surrounded them.
"Oh my God, it's not you!" Some young soldiers shouted, getting close to Shen Zheng. "Do you remember me? We were tested in the same queue that day!"
"Genius, sign your name for me!" A young soldier shouted excitedly, handing over a pen and paper.[
"Sign one for me too!" Immediately, many young soldiers rushed up, including a dozen female soldiers, looking at Shen Zheng with ambiguous eyes.
Shen Zheng was a little excited. He was just a little-known wage earner before, and now he suddenly seemed to be a superstar. This strong contrast made Shen Zheng feel a little dizzy.
"Humph, what's so great!" In contrast to the enthusiasm of the crowd, another tall boy snorted coldly. "It's useless no matter how high the fitness value is, it still depends on which kind of insect the fitness value is! If If it’s not a fighting bug, it’s still a piece of trash!”
"Hey, isn't this the genius with an adaptation value of 86?" The young soldiers turned to look at the man, and then someone laughed.
"Are you just outright jealous?"
"That's right. All fools know that the higher the fitness value, the easier it is to complete the fusion with the fighting bug. He is obviously jealous."
"No, I think it's a curse. Genius, you'd better go and cool off! Are you jealous of a real genius with an adaptation value of 98? Bah!"
The tall young man blushed, glared at Shen Zheng hatefully, handed his registration card to the veteran at the registration office, and entered the base without looking back.
Shen Zheng looked at his back and felt suddenly uneasy.
Yes, he is right, but it is useless to have a high fitness value. The key depends on which kind of insect it is an adaptation to.
The power of human beings cannot be compared with that of insects, but human intelligence makes up for this. As early as more than two thousand years ago on the earth, humans who developed "insect technology" have already used powerful fighting insects to fight against insects. , to strengthen oneself.
The specific method is to implant the eggs of a certain type of insect into one's own body, fuse them with one's own cells through special technological means, and finally possess the power of this insect. This is called "phytozoa".
Not everyone can accept "phytozoa". Only those with super strong physiques can have this possibility. The better the physique, the more perfect the phytozoa. This degree of perfection is expressed in numbers, which is the adaptation of phytozoa. value.
The higher the fitness value, the easier it is to complete the insect plant and the easier it is to integrate with the combat insect.
There are many types of combat bugs, but there are generally only two types - melee bugs and long-range attack bugs. Melee bugs can give planters great power and powerful melee weapons in close combat, while long-range bugs can give planters powerful melee weapons. Has the ability to create and launch spikes, corrosive fluids, and even fire, ice, and light.
Only those planters who can implant these two kinds of insects are truly powerful warriors, "supermen" that ordinary people can rely on.
Will I really be that unparalleled genius?
Shen Zheng couldn't help but feel uneasy. With this uneasiness, after signing for others, he entered the base with everyone. In the corner of Field O of the base, three hundred young soldiers gathered together to form a square formation.
"Don't be nervous." An officer stood in front of the phalanx and smiled at them. "Although you are only qualified in theory, in history, no one with qualified fitness value has been able to complete the plantation. So you are also Those who have actually passed the test. The next step is to plant insects, I hope you can complete it with a relaxed mood."[
"Yes!" the young soldiers said in unison.
Soon, they were divided into ten groups and each were taken to the laboratory in the base building. There, military doctors in white coats were busy preparing infestation equipment and egg boxes.
"Genius, look at it! Those are the egg boxes of combat bugs!" A young soldier whispered beside Shen Zheng, pointing to the rows of hexagonal boxes on the metal rack in front of the wall.
"Don't call me that." Shen Zheng felt a little embarrassed.
"Don't be modest. The fitness value is 98. This has never happened before." "Yes, you are a real genius." "It is a great honor for us to be able to plant insects with you!"
The young recruits around him were chattering away.
"Ah!" At this moment, the first recruit to accept the plant bug let out a painful scream, which made everyone tremble.
Sitting on the insecticide chair, the tightly restrained recruit struggled desperately, but could not escape from the restraints of the chair. The military doctor in a white coat looked at him with an expression on his face, and gently pressed the button on the computer control panel. Several buttons adjust various values.
An injection needle connected to a large transparent tube is firmly stuck on the recruit's wrist. The wrist is fixed very tightly, and the injection needle will never be lost due to the recruit's struggle.
At the other end of the tube is a fully enclosed instrument, which is more than two meters high and looks like a huge pupa. The hexagonal egg box is placed in the instrument, and a round egg has been It was extracted, compressed and softened, then flowed out like a liquid through the tube, and was slowly injected into the recruits' bodies.
"A guy with an fitness value of only 64 is really troublesome." The military doctor muttered unhappily while adjusting the computer.
Soon after, the insect eggs were completely injected into the recruit's body, and all the muscles in the recruit's body immediately became tense.
"Open the regulated energy field." A senior military doctor directed the military doctors to get busy. Soon, with the insect plant chair as the center, a circular mask was quickly generated, wrapping the recruits in it. The recruits were trembling and struggling. It gradually became slower and finally calmed down completely.
"Successful." A military doctor looked at the computer's illusion screen and nodded. "We have an extra close combat warrior."
"Show your strength." Another military doctor smiled and turned off the round light mask and opened the restraints on the chair.
The recruit stood up in confusion, his body suddenly shook twice, and then he waved his hand.
Something immediately tore open his sleeve and threw it out. It was a sharp blade-like limb, as hard as steel and as textured as an insect beetle.
"I feel a powerful force!" the recruit said excitedly.
"In the following days, you will receive training from the examiner and learn how to use this power." A military doctor said, "After the training, if your insect power value can be greatly improved, you will become a real superman. Such a warrior. Okay, next one!"
At this moment, the door of the laboratory suddenly opened, and a tall and powerful senior officer in his fifties walked in accompanied by two guards. The military doctors in the laboratory immediately stood at attention and paid respect to him. There was a military salute.
"Where is that genius?" The tall senior officer glanced at everyone.
"Here!" A young soldier pointed at Shen Zheng with an excited look on his face.[
"Very good!" The officer looked at Shen Zheng and nodded, "What our third formation needs is exactly this kind of talent! Young man, you have been honored to be absorbed into the most elite third formation of the Spike Legion!"
"Hey, Captain Carters's speed in robbing people is really top-notch." The door opened again, and another senior officer walked in accompanied by escorts. This man had black hair, a tall and slender figure, and a slightly gloomy expression.
"Not bad." Along with this senior officer came two senior officers who were accompanied by guards. One of them, who was nearly forty years old and had long blond hair, nodded as soon as he came in. "For the new recruits. Attribution must be coordinated by the legion commander."
"It seems that this newcomer is very eye-catching." Another senior officer looked at Shen Zheng and nodded. This man looked to be in his early thirties, with black hair, a handsome face, and exuded a calm and peaceful temperament.
"Sir!" The military doctors stood at attention and saluted these people.
"Excellent talents should be commanded by outstanding people." Captain Carters of the third formation looked at the other three colleagues and snorted.
"So, Shen Zheng should join our first formation?" the one with a gloomy expression said.
"It should be mine." The one with long blond hair said.
"I'm also very interested in him." He said with a calm and peaceful temperament.
"He is truly a genius!" The recruits murmured in low voices, "Even before the insects were planted, the four formation captains had already started robbing people."
"I really envy him!"
"There's nothing I can do about it, he's a genius."
There were low voices of discussion, and the recruits looked at Shen Zheng with envy and admiration on their faces.
"Cartes, give him to me. I don't want any of the new recruits in this class!" the blond-haired officer said to the captain of the third formation.
"I will return this to you exactly as it is." Carters sneered.
"I am determined to win him." The one with a gloomy expression said.
"I don't want to give him up to anyone else either," he said calmly.
This is where the debate started. It started from the fact that so-and-so took advantage of the last recruitment, and said that a certain formation already had too many talents, seriously destroying the balance of strength among the four formations. In short, for Shen Zheng, the four formation captains fought for Face flushed.
This made Shen Zheng a little excited, excited, and a little overwhelmed.
At this moment, the door opened again, and a majestic old man in his sixties walked in. The old man was wearing a distinctive officer's uniform. As soon as the recruits saw the epaulettes on it, they immediately stood up straight.
The shoulder insignia of the regimental commander.
Obviously, this old officer is the top commander of the Spike Corps--Lang Long, the commander of the Spike Corps.
The four formation captains stopped arguing. When Liang Long came in, they stood at attention together and saluted the standard military salute.
"I heard it was so lively here, so I came to take a look." Liang Long looked at the four people and said slowly. "I didn't expect that it was my four formation captains who were quarreling."
"It's not a quarrel." The calm-tempered black-haired officer smiled, "It's just that we are both talented people."
Liang Long also smiled and looked at Shen Zheng among the recruits, which made Shen Zheng feel flattered and made the envy in the eyes of the other recruits even stronger.
"Are you Shen Zheng?" Liang Long asked.
"Yes!" Shen Zheng hurriedly imitated the officers and gave a less than standard military salute.
Liang Long nodded: "Work hard and the future will be bright."
"Yes!" Shen Zheng replied loudly.
"Don't argue." Liang Long looked at the four formation leaders and said, "Let him finish the plantation first." He said, nodding to the senior military doctor in charge of the plantation.
"Shen Zheng, you come first." The senior military doctor understood immediately.
The four formation captains also stopped talking.
With an anxious mood, Shen Zheng slowly walked over and sat on the insect-planting chair. The military doctor controlling the computer pressed a few foreign keys, and a strong restraint strap immediately fastened Shen Zheng firmly to the chair.
"Would you like to try the long-range combat bugs first?" the military doctor in charge asked Liang Long, who nodded.
Immediately, a military doctor went over, took down a hexagonal box from the shelf, and carefully stuffed it into the large chrysalis-like instrument. Soon, a certain part of the instrument took out the eggs in the box. A little bit of body fluid was extracted from it, mixed with some transparent liquid, and then transported along the transparent tube into the newly replaced injection needle.
"Before planting insects, we must first identify whether the person being planted is adapted to this kind of insect." A military doctor explained in front of Shen Zheng, looking very friendly. This was not because he was particularly fond of Shen Zheng, but because he knew this genius. The future is limitless.
Shen Zheng nodded.
The military doctor picked up the injection needle and gently inserted it into Shen Zheng's left wrist. Shen Zheng did not feel any pain.
On the other side, a military doctor stared at the computer screen and nervously adjusted the values. From Liang Long to the four formation leaders, they all stared at the screen.
"No, it doesn't match." After a while, the nervous medic shook his head. "His various numerical values show that he cannot match the long-range combat insect."
"Doesn't match?" Everyone was a little surprised, but Shen Zheng became nervous.
"Looking at it this way, he should be a super warrior in close combat." Liang Long's eyes were filled with anticipation, and he motioned to the military doctor to change to another type of combat insect.
The egg box just now was taken out, and another box containing melee insect eggs was stuffed in. A little body fluid in the eggs was extracted, mixed with the transparent liquid, and then transferred to the injection needle and injected into Shen Zheng's wrist.
