He was obsessed with Dr. Wu and claimed he wanted to create an Evolution Potion unlike the ones issued by the game system. He moved between three laboratories, but was fired from each one.

Half a year later, Luo Changren found a different path. He located the remains of a common ancestor of the people at W37 Base Station and began targeted genetic optimization. When the entire base station opposed him, he fled to another sub-district. A year later, he returned and publicly announced that he had successfully developed an Evolution Potion that would allow everyone at W37 Base Station to evolve rapidly.

Unconfirmed: Whether a genetic Evolution Potion specifically designed for W37 Base City actually existed remained uncertain. According to later investigations, the outbreak in Base City 06 had occurred shortly after A1 Laboratory hired Luo Changren. Many laboratories believed that the genetic modifications for evolution targeting a specific race, as Luo Changren had claimed, were simply impossible.

The first page ended there. The second page was missing. A search through the entire file turned up only one report that might have been the conclusion:

The SE virus was confirmed to be highly contagious and to cause irreversible aftereffects. These aftereffects would be inherited by the descendants of those infected.

After setting the report down, Xu Huo quickly skimmed the other materials on the SE virus. They mostly matched what Teacher Ai had said: once the SE virus began spreading, its toxicity would gradually decrease until it reached the minimum level needed to remain dormant in a host.

However, many laboratories remained skeptical about the claim that it could be inherited genetically. There were simply too few samples, and for people who were still alive, a virus that had gradually lost its potency was not worth the effort required
