This... this is evolution after unlocking the genetic potential!
"Imagine for yourselves: after monkeys pushed themselves to this limit, they became humans. So, if a human were to push themselves to this limit, what would they become?"
When everyone first heard about the gene lock, it greatly shocked them. If, as Chu Xuan suggested, they could unlock their gene lock and unleash their full potential, they would become superhumans, or even... gods!
Zero, who had been quiet and seemingly nonexistent, suddenly asked, "How do we unlock the gene lock? What kind of drug or something else is needed?"
Chu Xuan pondered for a moment, as this was also a topic he was researching. Just as he was about to speak, Li Ling said, "We need a substance similar to adrenaline."
"This substance can only be produced by the human body itself, and most importantly, it is highly toxic."
"For example, there was an old lady who lifted a car with one hand and rescued her grandson who was trapped under the wheels. This is a true story."
However, the old woman died soon afterward, and scientists discovered trace amounts of this substance in her blood.
Li Ling has recently been researching genetic civilization, especially the genetic lock. He has learned a lot and has already unlocked the first-order genetic lock.
He can now freely unlock the first-order gene lock without suffering any backlash from it, and is already moving towards unlocking the second-order gene lock.
Once the first-level gene lock is unlocked, the body generates a highly toxic substance similar to adrenaline, which squeezes out the body's potential and can significantly enhance combat power.
Upon hearing this, Chu Xuan's eyes lit up slightly as he looked at Li Ling and asked with some eagerness, "Have you also conducted research on gene locks?"
“Not bad.” Li Ling nodded and smiled. “In fact, the genetic lock can also be unlocked through external forces, such as the T-virus in Resident Evil.”
Everyone looked at Captain Li, who was speaking eloquently, and expressed their admiration, especially the veteran team members such as Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, Fatty, and Li Xiaoyi, who were full of respect.
Captain, how can you be so awesome? You seem to be able to handle anything! We're all from the same batch of reincarnators, but you're so outstanding... how are we supposed to compete?!
“T-virus! T-virus…” A burning light shone in Chu Xuan’s calm eyes as he murmured, “That’s right! The T-virus can indeed unlock the genetic lock!”
It seems this space is indeed related to unlocking the genetic lock! I even suspect... it's a relic created by the first humans to unlock their genetic lock..."
"Alright! Enough with the nonsense!" Li Ling waved his hand, interrupting Chu Xuan. Just as he was about to lead everyone to the ship's control room, a cry for help suddenly came from the depths of the corridor.
The sound was extremely mournful and lasted for more than ten seconds before disappearing without a trace.
The fat man looked into the depths of the corridor: "It's those three thugs, they've been attacked!"
Li Ling said calmly, "Let's go take a look."
He then ran deeper into the corridor, and the others quickly followed.
The group ran all the way to the end of the passageway and looked to the left, where they saw a bloody scene.
Starting on the left side of the passageway, it was piled high with scraps of flesh, no longer recognizable as human. Bones, internal organs, scraps of flesh, and many other filthy and disgusting things were all piled together.
Apart from some scraps of clothing scattered on the ground, it was impossible to be certain that the remains here once belonged to several whole humans.
"Ugh~~"
Upon seeing this, Zheng Zha, Zhan Lan, Fatty, Li Xiaoyi, and Li Shuaixi leaned against the wall and vomited violently.
Only Li Ling, Zhang Jie, Chu Xuan, Lingdian, and Bawang remained calm, and even squatted down to examine the situation.
Ba Wang picked up a few strips of cloth from the ground and said in broken Chinese, "Those three thugs, and the flesh from two corpses is missing!"
"Ugh!"
Upon hearing the word "meat quantity," everyone vomited even more violently, almost throwing up their stomachs.
Li Ling examined them carefully, then shook his head and said, "No, these are the remains of three corpses, just not easy to distinguish. All their flesh was taken away."
Chu Xuan nodded and said, "I agree."
Suddenly, Lingdian cried out urgently, "Danger!"
A huge black shadow suddenly darted out from the other side of the intersection. That ferocious figure was... an alien!

Chapter 259: The Fatty Picks the Lock
A huge black shadow suddenly darted out from the other side of the intersection. That ferocious figure was... an alien!
At the very back of the group was Li Xiaoyi, who was leaning against the wall, vomiting so badly that his limbs were weak and he had almost no strength left.
When the high school boy shouted that there was danger at midnight, he heard a whooshing sound behind him and instinctively ducked to the ground.
It was this act of leaning on the ground that saved his life; otherwise, the alien's enormous tongue would have pierced his shoulder and dragged him away.
This is the result of Li Ling's day and night training within the Main God Space. Not only Li Xiaoyi, but also Zhan Lan, Zheng Zha, Fatty and others are the same.
Only then did everyone get a clear look at the dark figure. It was a mature, gigantic alien, about 2.78 meters tall, with its body and tail extending more than three meters.
It has a shiny black shell, a huge and long head that extends to its back, and a terrifying mouth full of sharp teeth.
What's astonishing is that its tongue, which protrudes from its mouth, is also covered with sharp teeth. Just looking at its appearance is enough to terrify an ordinary person.
When the alien missed its attack, it retracted its tongue, its mouth dripping with corrosive saliva. At that moment, two more enormous, jet-black aliens appeared.
Three enormous, jet-black aliens stood side by side, looking at Li Ling and the others. Their ferocious heads turned among the group, as if selecting prey.
Upon seeing this, Zheng Zha immediately roared, "Damn it, a three-headed alien! Run!"
Faced with three mature, gigantic aliens, the group had no other thoughts. At this moment, they had no time to think and escape was their only option.
