Du Lai was bent over the microscope, observing the No. 15 Bacteria he had cultivated.
It was only a single drop of Culture Medium, but he could already see densely packed No. 15 bacilli!
They moved energetically as they foraged, and every so often, a few bacilli began dividing. It was a thriving scene!
In the giant culture flask beside him, more and more white, cottony colonies appeared, like a light snowfall.
The bacteria were flourishing!
A smile tugged at Du Lai's lips. He couldn't help looking up at Song He in the very front.
Didn't he say my bacteria would all be dead by three?
It's already two-thirty, and they're still perfectly alive!
Feeling smug, Du Lai secretly congratulated himself for not falling for Song He's trap before lowering his head to look at the microscope again.
But at that glance... his expression changed!
The other bacilli were still full of life, but several of the dividing ones had stopped.
The bacilli that had split only halfway looked like deformed Conjoined Infants, frozen in place without moving!
What's going on? Why did the division stop?
"Your face doesn't look right. What happened?" Wei Huai, who was in the same group, asked.
"The division stopped halfway. It's nothing. I've probably been observing for too long. I'll take a fresh sample and look again." Du Lai smiled, but a trace of tension showed through.
He quickly extracted a fresh sample and placed it under the microscope.
In the eyepiece, countless bacilli moved energetically, while several in the corner were dividing.
Du Lai stared fixedly at the dividing bacilli and clenched his fists.
But the sight he feared most appeared!
The dividing bacilli stopped halfway, one after another turning into deformed corpses!
"Still no good?" Wei Huai frowned.
"Something's not right... Don't
