Zhou Zhi appeared unruffled, but something had begun to stir within him.
No one knew that he had embarked on the cellular path of Plague Extermination.
It was a secret known only to himself.
Everyone else only knew that Zhou Zhi had inherited Twenty-Three's [Genetic Plague Extermination] path.
So did Ruan Yin truly know, or was it merely coincidence or speculation?
In pestilence combat, deducing an opponent's path and the Plague Extermination Arts they possessed was also one way to win.
"Cells are the building blocks of every living thing in the Pestilence World."
Ruan Yin pointed ahead. "This is what I've been researching."
Zhou Zhi mentally put quotation marks around Ruan Yin's first sentence. He followed the cool beauty, now clad in a white qipao in Chengyun's style, down the white-tiled corridor.
Zhou Zhi shifted his gaze away from Ruan Yin's voluptuous rear and looked ahead.
The lights before them switched on one after another.
The entire laboratory came into view before Zhou Zhi.
A great deal of advanced Plague Extermination equipment, bearing an air far beyond its era, filled Zhou Zhi's sight.
[Carbon Dioxide Incubator].
[Biological Safety Cabinet].
[Centrifuge].
"Single-cell sorting equipment, drying ovens, ultrapure water equipment..."
Zhou Zhi knew these devices like the back of his hand.
There were even instruments among them that Zhou Zhi himself could not immediately identify.
And then...
"If all this equipment came from Ruan Yin, then... even if her cell biology is inferior to mine, she probably isn't far behind."
Zhou Zhi walked forward.
The precision microscope on the workbench radiated an irresistible allure to him.
"Zhou Zhi! This is my favorite microscope set! A three-in-one fluorescence microscope, confocal microscope, and transmission electron microscope."
Ruan Yin spoke gently.
The same gentle aura emanated from her body.
"That over there is a
