Slaughter Hunter (Complete)
Soon, all the logistics personnel were mobilized.
Extracting cells from the "desert worm" and preparing the corresponding biological formulation is not particularly difficult.
The key issue is that the demand for cell preparation solution is too high.
The standard radiation value for Class E is 100 points, for Class C it is 10,000 points, and for Class B it is 100,000 points.
The cells in the body of a high-level engineer may not be at grade B, but they are definitely at the pinnacle of grade C.
To balance the two, the minimum number of worm cells required is one hundred times that of cells in the body.
Only in this way can quantitative changes offset qualitative changes and achieve implantation balance.
Even the scholars from the Society for Biological Mutation were astonished; they were amazed that country folk knew how to have fun and could do things like this.
"Pursuing the powerful survival ability of lower life forms?" Before seeing the tentacles, Dai Bin was still a normal person, and he quickly guessed the senior engineer's intention.
"Essentially, advanced and low-level life forms are not distinguished by energy level, but by complexity. Of course, the higher the complexity, the higher the energy level. This is a phenomenon, but we cannot confuse cause and effect."
"If the planet we stand on were to suffer a catastrophic disaster, the only survivors would be billions upon billions of bacteria. In a sense, we humans are merely the carriers and playthings of these bacteria."
"As intelligent species, what we should pursue is not the stars and the sea, or the formation of complex life systems, but to break free from the constraints of microorganisms and create our own basic life units."
"To delve deeper into oneself is the essence of evolution."
An apprentice saw Dai Bin muttering to himself and shook his head helplessly. He knew that his mentor had fallen into his old habit again, always showing off his erudition whenever he encountered an experiment that interested him.
"Is this why you like tentacles? Because they can bind you, and the deeper the binding, the happier you are?"
The senior engineer walked in, looked at the 'mucus' constantly piling up in the nutrient tank, and at Dai Bin talking to himself about the 'mucus', and made a comment.
Dai Bin's expression immediately changed, his face turned bright red, his eyes widened, and veins bulged as he said, "How dare you slander someone's innocence?" He then muttered something about liking tentacles not being able to say it means liking bondage... things about scientists, the spirit of sacrifice... in short, a bunch of things that outsiders couldn't understand.
Huang Yuanli couldn't help but sigh, "So the more powerful a person is, the more perverted they are. They either like brains or tentacles. Looking at it this way, you, 'Perverted Consultant,' are actually not that perverted."
The senior engineer glanced at the other person sideways. "What are you doing here?"
"Can't I come and see you?" Huang Yuanli puffed out her flat chest and said confidently, "Surgery is risky. If you don't make it, as a friend, at least I can see you one last time."
"What kind of risk is there in this level of modification?" The senior engineer looked back and found that there were quite a few onlookers, including some loli-faced people from the Cable Tribe, the old scumbag gang, the hunter's henchmen, and even the newcomers Sun Hong and Heri Wilder.
With the great battle imminent and all the necessary preparations completed, everyone has become quite relaxed.
The senior engineer ignored them, took off his surgical gown, and walked into the mucus on his own.
A chorus of screams erupted from behind, with the young woman's screams being the loudest. Apparently, these guys weren't there to watch the surgery, but to see her running around naked.
Advanced life forms absorb lower-level cells; this "reverse evolution" is not difficult. Most problems that might be encountered in modification surgeries are not problems here. It's like an experienced driver speeding along—it seems fast but is actually stable.
Soon, countless nerve bundles grew out of the engineer's body, each one emitting a "buzzing" sound, which was the operation of invisible bioelectric currents.
At the same time, a strong digestive sound emanated from all parts of the engineer's body.
Thanks to the powerful phagocytic ability of high-performance computers, these biologists don't even need to consider the issue of cell fusion.
The only concern is whether the 'cell mucus' extracted from these hundreds of desert worms will be enough for the other side to absorb.
Whether or not the transformation can evolve some abilities belonging to "earthworms" before being devoured is the key to its success.
Watching the senior engineer sink into the slime like a corpse, remaining motionless for a long time, Huang Yuanli curled her lips, thinking there was nothing more to see.
Her eyes darted around, and she secretly activated her telepathy. Sun Hong, who was next to her, glanced at her but didn't say anything.
A layer of white mist seemed to appear before the young woman's eyes. According to Han Naohua, this was something called the "amygdala protective layer," which was used to protect memories. The stronger the consciousness of a creature, the thicker the mist would be.
The white fog emanating from the perverted consultant was as thick as water.
Fortunately, this guy was unconscious and entered the fog on his own without being disturbed.
The further she went, the louder the digestive sounds became. The young woman followed the sound and soon witnessed an astonishing scene.
Hundreds and thousands of desert worms covered the ground, wave after wave, constantly engulfing the land.
Three giant beasts sat on the ground, constantly grabbing desert worms and stuffing them into their mouths, with mucus and juices overflowing from the corners of their mouths.
One of the behemoths looked very much like the Reaper Queen she had seen, except it was twice the size of the Reaper Queen and had six pairs of blade wings, while the Reaper Queen only had three pairs.
It tastes the best.
A heavy sliding sound rang out, and a giant bone snake, over a hundred meters long, was slowly moving through the mist.
It seems to prefer knocking these desert worms to the ground rather than devouring them.
Wherever it passed, a light drizzle fell from the mist.
For some reason, the young woman always felt that this thing was incomplete, as if it were searching for something.
The last behemoth resembled a giant peacock, with each of its tail feathers radiating an indescribable brilliance, more eye-catching than diamonds.
If the perverted consultant really had these "pretty feathers," she would definitely want to get one of them.
However, like the 'bone snake', the peacock's true form is very blurry. Only when it lowers its head to 'catch insects' can you vaguely see its long beak.
This behemoth had the most arrogant expression. Most of the desert worms around it were torn apart, as if it was very unhappy to be with these lowly insects.
"No wonder that perverted consultant was so twisted; he really is a beast!"
Huang Yuanli watched with great interest. After a while, even the Reaper Queen, who had the best taste, was full and ignored the insects wandering around her. The 'Great Peacock' had already closed its eyes.
On the contrary, the 'White Bone Giant Serpent' got into the swing of things, with a group of worms following behind it. The worms seemed to be gradually elongating, no longer fat and bloated, but turning into snakes. The White Bone Giant Serpent was covered with the flesh and blood of the worms, giving it a wilder look.
The two sides appear to be merging to some extent.
Deep in the mountains and great marshes, dragons and snakes are born.
Huang Yuanli suddenly remembered a sentence that Professor Han had taught her a long time ago.
"Depend on!"
Huang Yuanli looked down and suddenly realized that her lower body had sunk into the ground.
She then realized that there were not three giant beasts, but four, except that the fourth giant beast was a brain flower covering the ground.
At this moment, Huang Yuanli recalled the fear of becoming a "brain toilet".
"Don't eat me, you perverted consultant, you pervert! It's me!!"
Huang Yuanli was once again engulfed in brain matter.
These "slimmed-down" desert worms also stopped moving, becoming tangled and uneven, looking like the sulci covering the surface of the brain.
Huang Yuanli suddenly opened her eyes, groped around frantically, and breathed a sigh of relief. But when she looked around, she found that everyone around her had their mouths agape.
She looked over, and her mouth slowly opened wide.
The cell mucus in the nutrient tank was reduced to a thin layer, replaced by a five- or six-meter-long worm. The head of the worm vaguely resembled the senior engineer, but it was twisted beyond recognition. In addition, on the worm's body, which was as thick as a water tank, hung several slender desert worms, twisting and wriggling like live snakes.
On the back of the giant insect, a steel spine is embedded, which is the part that is least similar to the 'Orochi's main body'.
Professor Han abruptly turned to look at Dai Bin, and said coldly, "How could this be?!"
Dai Bin was also stunned, muttering, "Impossible. This level of morphological mutation couldn't possibly occur in this level of modification."
The biological researcher instantly felt dozens of murderous gazes.
In this rising emerging force, the role of senior engineers is irreplaceable, and no one dares to imagine the consequences of losing one of them.
Fortunately, the cold atmosphere quickly disappeared. As the "big worm" slowly contracted, the senior engineer's figure gradually became visible. Apart from the slime on his body, he was almost the same as before.

The senior engineer took a few deep breaths, feeling as if he had been underwater for half a day before finally emerging from the water.
He glanced around and saw everyone staring at him in disbelief. He said irritably, "Get me some clothes. Don't you have any sense of propriety?"
"Are you... are you even human?" Huang Yuanli asked cautiously after the senior engineer had put on his clothes.
Why are you swearing again?!
The senior engineer frowned at him. "In what way am I not human?"
He then stretched out his arm, and with a thought, fleshy tentacles emerged from the surface of his arm, a scene very Cthulhu-esque and chilling.
In what way do you look human now?!
Somatic Cell Enhancement (Bio-Modification): Stimulates surface cells through the secretion of hormones to produce low-level biological software, consuming 10 stamina points per second.
These tentacles are just tentacles, hanging heavily on the arm, completely useless.
However, as soon as the engineer had a thought, the nerve bundle burrowed into the tentacle. After a sharp, needle-like pain, the tentacle began to twist, rotate, and sway together.
"Ugh~"
Huang Yuanli started gagging.
Dai Bin's eyes lit up.
The other people's faces turned pale and then red.
As soon as the senior engineer had a thought, more than a dozen tentacles fell off at the same time, leaving the surface of his arm smooth and flat.
The senior engineer glanced at the health bar; he had only lost a dozen or so points of health, just one point per stab.
The senior engineer picked up a tentacle from the ground and found that it was still twisted, indicating that the nerve bundles inside were well wrapped in the biological wall and were very active.
This reminded him of octopus tentacles.
"Is this edible? I wonder what it tastes like?"
"Ugh~~"
This time, Huang Yuanli wasn't the only one gagging.
Aside from the "Somatic Cell Enhancement Part", there's not much to say about this "evolution".
After all, it is a low-level biological cell.
No attributes were added.
No biological skills.
Aside from that useless "Xenomorph form".
I am not Orochimaru, this is my true form, okay?
However, the senior engineer had anticipated this before the renovation and was not too disappointed.
What cheered him up was that he could finally change jobs; he had been holding back for three months! He was almost going crazy from it!
If I hold it in any longer, I'll become a monster!
Oh, he's become a pervert.
Although this "pervert" is useless.
[Should I change jobs?]
[Yes]
[Checking host's job change requirements]
[Job change successful]
