"That really is a genius idea."
"But why do some people self-destruct?"
Luo Wen asked the question that concerned him most.
"This..."
Maya Hansen's expression dimmed. This was also the problem that had troubled her all along.
"According to my guess, it may be because the human body is too fragile. In people who use the Extremis Virus, the genes responsible for self-healing are too powerful, while the other parts of the DNA helix remain in their most primitive state. That causes the entire DNA chain to become disordered, or even collapse..."
"Extensive research has shown that the stronger a person's physical condition is, the lower the chance of self-destruction after using the Extremis Virus. That's why we specifically chose retired soldiers for our experiments."
Maya Hansen sighed.
At present, she simply had no way to resolve the Extremis Virus's side effects.
She could not suddenly raise humanity's overall DNA to a higher level, nor could she make any one person's physical condition surpass that of an ordinary human.
But after hearing Maya Hansen out, Luo Wen revealed an uncontrollable smile.
"So you're saying that the higher the genetic level and the stronger the body, the less likely someone is to self-destruct after using the Extremis Virus?"
Luo Wen stared at Maya Hansen as he asked.
"Yes, but that's imposs—" Maya Hansen nodded, about to say more.
But Luo Wen raised a hand and stopped her.
"All right. You're hired."
"Huh?" Maya Hansen was a little bewildered.
"You've been hired by Kroll Industries. From now on, you're the deputy director of Kroll Industries' biotechnology department," Luo Wen said calmly.
"Of course, you can choose to refuse. But if you do, you'll most likely be thrown into prison on charges of illegal human modification."
"All right... I accept!" Maya Hansen immediately
