It was a pale silver liquid substance, and as it flowed, it seemed to have been gathered from starlight.
Inside the sterile chamber, the vaccine was administered to a death row inmate.
At once, the mutation in his body was contained.
At the sight of this, intense exhilaration welled up in the minds of many researchers.
Indeed, the vaccine before them was only effective against low concentrations of apocalypse radiation, but this was merely a beginning. They firmly believed that developing subsequent versions of the vaccine was only a matter of time.
Only Zhao Cheng knew that the so-called vaccine was merely treating the symptoms, not the root cause. There was no way the Empire could develop vaccines faster than the apocalypse radiation grew in strength.
At its core, the so-called vaccine reinforced the mind and genes to resist the mutations caused by apocalypse radiation. There was nothing wrong with the underlying idea.
For instance, in the world of Ziwei Shines Upon the World, Cang, the strongest among them, was the last to die. The reason Cang endured until the very end was because his mind was incomparably powerful and his flesh exceptionally stable, allowing him to lock in the loss of Vitality.
As for the earliest stage of mutation, the apocalypse in the world of Ziwei Shines Upon the World had been born on Earth Star, its sole life-bearing planet. Moreover, the uninhabited zones restrained the apocalypse's growth. Thus, that mutation stage was exceedingly brief—perhaps only dozens or hundreds of seconds—before it leaped into the next stage, leaving life with no time to mutate at all.
The essence of the vaccine was to simulate the internal environment of a powerful lifeform. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the concept; the problem was the bug-like rate at which the apocalypse
