Chapter 156 Sometimes it's up to you to be a person or not
Half an hour later, Lehman sat on the ground in a grass skirt made of leaves of a big tree and listened to Knight's explanation and understood what had just happened to him.
The river of hot and hot matter flowing underground was indeed full of high radioactive substances. Just a little bit brought back by the hockeye worm has released strong enough gamma radiation, which began to cause the genes of the human part in his body to begin to collapse. If it were left alone at that time, it would not have been said that Lehman would die, but it might have caused some changes that Lehman didn't like...
The chain of human DNA that occupies an absolute dominant position in Lehman's body will gradually collapse under the action of radiation, causing the functions of part of the human body to gradually be damaged to the point of threatening life. However, he will not die--the Protos gene structure absorbed in his body will take over his body. At that time, Lehman may completely transform into a Protos Protos Protos, or the gene chain of the native Zerg and the broken human gene chain are freely combined, Lehman will become the infected human...
Knight, who had already realized how important it is to maintain human cognition through the night's dream, took over decisively. She used her knowledge and the gene writing ability given to her by Sarnagar to rewritten and reorganize the gene chains of the three races, allowing Lehman to undergo a wave of evolution while preserving the appearance of human beings.
Lehman listened to Knight's narration in a bit complicated. He didn't understand genetics very much. He vaguely felt that something was wrong in Knight's narration, but he couldn't explain it, and could only blame the human paranoia in his heart for the human paranoia. However, he knew the harm of radiation, especially the radiation at the meltdown level of the reactor. He thought that with his previous constitution, he could ignore the damage of that radiation, but he didn't expect it to be like this.
He looked at his limbs, then looked at his body and appearance at the puddle next to him. It was indeed no different from that of humans, but there were some changes that he clearly had in his body, and some changes that he was not very clear--he could clearly and smoothly understand the consciousness information conveyed by Dehaka without Knight's relay station. He didn't know...
"The power of radiation that you become is causing your cells to become cancerous. It is essentially a process that triggers your body to enter into self-destruction. I fuse the gene chain of the native Zerg with your human gene chain for repair. Now the cells in your body will fight against any external or internal damage at a speed that your race can't imagine. This is the power of the Zerg." Knight, who was standing aside, explained.
"What's the meaning?"
"Your respiratory organs just now are immersed in water. Human respiratory organs cannot breathe under this situation, but now you can."
"I'll do it after I absorbed that guy in Shakuras." Lehman looked at Knight with some confusion, thinking that this was not a big evolution. After the Sarnaga weapon in his body partially absorbed the unlucky Nairakim, his dependence on oxygen began to move closer to Protos.
"You misunderstood," Knight shook his head, "Your changes were not like that before. You just became closer to those alienated Protos in the cell structure. You can store more oxygen and use limited oxygen more effectively in a more thin environment. But you still need to breathe, breathe with your mouth, but now, once you encounter an environment where you cannot breathe with human respiratory organs and Nerachim's respiratory organs, you still have other ways."
"What's the solution?"
"Didn't you see it yourself before, the kind of respiratory organ that grows on your neck."
Hearing this sentence, Lehman suddenly raised his hand and touched his own throat--it turned out that the scene of the previous structure of a fish gill-like tissue was not dazzled by him, but that it had really happened...
"If you are damaged by high temperature, your skin will quickly evolve into high temperature-resistant tissues. If you are affected by kinetic energy, you will evolve into biological tissues that rotate or resist kinetic energy shocks. Your body now has some of the power of these Zerg Zergs."
After hearing this, Lehman remained silent for a while. Although when he could dominate Protos' genes on Shakuras and gain some of Protos' biological abilities, he knew that he was probably getting further and further away from humans in a sense. However, when he learned that he had become an evolutionary monster, he still felt that the world was sometimes quite wonderful......
"This is a blessing in disguise," after a while, Lehman clapped his hands and stood up from the ground. "Now the crisis has been resolved, it's time to prepare for the next step."
"Are you okay?" Knight was a little surprised now. Judging from the shallow consciousness dream operation last night, her half of her body's persistence in human cognition should be beyond her imagination, so she interfered and helped the other party retain a human appearance, so she would not have any problems if the other party's mental stability was finally improved but there was a problem.
What happened? Now this little guy seems to have easily accepted it? Is this human appearance so effective?
"It's something, it's definitely something. Protos, Zerg, etc. I feel like I'm going to be a mixture," Lehman scratched the back of his head, "But you can't forget the big goal because of these things. You want to save as much of this universe as possible and save more lives, but stop because of these things. Isn't that ridiculous?"
"I thought you were very concerned about your human identity." Knight had nothing to do with his huge longan, looking at Lehman with a hint of surprise.
"I care a lot about the identity of human beings and my appearance, but as long as there is a human soul, it is not a problem, as long as it does not violate human creed, it is not a problem. I would rather be a non-human body and act in the interests of the human soul than act in a despicable way-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lehman's speech was not fast, and he did not seem sonorous and powerful with the emphasis, but Knight heard a certain meaning, which was a determination that the stars would not change even if they were annihilated. Just like the steps towards the starry sky on the upgrade platform, he took the ascension path to become the elder brother of Sarnaga who was originally one of her.
Perhaps, this is why Eurus chose him? I just don’t know how long his human soul can last in the face of the erosion of time and the changes of the world. Will his soul be twisted like his brother when he came to the upgrade platform of his hometown again many years later. He no longer remembered the promise at the beginning of time, but raised the banner of destruction.
"Knight? Knight? Hey, what's wrong?"
Lehman's suspicious inquiry came from his ears, and Knight woke up from the memories. She stared at the height of her head, but she was still shorter than her and needed to look up to her, and nodded deeply:
"I hope to know more about your human soul one day."
"Ah? Oh......" Lehman was stunned by Knight's sudden untuning words. "If I could tell them clearly, but now we have work to do. Since we know the truth about the lava matter, our plan does not require so much explosives and can be implemented faster."
[To let these things come out of the ground and burn the Blak tribe?] Dehaka, who was on the side, finally intervened and asked quickly.
【Yes, the specific plan is like this……】
Dala Bangba, Kuntukuta, Waibibab...
After a while of exchange, Dehaka took his subordinates to work with satisfaction. Shilang was relieved because he didn't have to secrete explosives with the attitude of "drying until his kidney deficiency". Gangxian continued to take care of the unevolved ground-digging worm, leaving only Lehman and Knight in place.
Lehman stretched out with satisfaction, and then as he supported it, the large foliage flock flew away with the wind. Lehman raised his hands and stood awkwardly. After a while, he realized it and ran into the forest to find clothes.
[What happened?] Knight, who was beyond the distance of the voice call, sent a thought wave to Lehman.
[What happened? Haha, you said something if you don’t wear clothes. Fortunately, there is no one around. This is based on the routines of the episodes and novels I have read. Maybe a princess or female adventurer will pop up next to me and say that I have dirty her eyes. She either killed me or married me or something...]
