Chapter 419: Choice (2/2)

Those who were crying would stop crying, while those who were in the midst of making a mess would stop too. There was complete silence in the nursery!

However, for some reason, Luo Yuan was hardly in the nursery.

He noticed that the conscience of the clones were the derivatives of his Will when the cells were implanted. The babies were like his clones; he could even control these babies, as long as he wanted to.

…

Time flew by. On day 28, the remaining babies were out too. On day 32, the last batch was out of the pods. There were more survivors than expected – 4,100 of them categorized into 450 groups.

Although some of the embryos were deformed or dead, there were some lucky cases. Some of the unstable genes were gotten rid of by Luo Yuan, as he did not want any unforeseen accidents to happen.

Within the 450 groups, there were only two groups that were implanted with three ability genes, 28 groups with two ability genes, while the rest were implanted with only one ability gene. What Luo Yuan noticed was that those with two ability genes and above were also those that were implanted with the cold fusion gene.

He guessed the failure of those that were implanted with many genes were not merely caused by the clash, but the ability that resonated from the bodies.

After a week of patience, the medical reports of the clones were out.

Luo Yuan used his ability to scan through the reports multiple times and tested some samples. After verification and getting rid of those with congenital gene defects, there were 321 groups left.

He was relieved as the preliminary work was completed. What was left was the gene modification. He carefully placed each and every cell sample in his backpack and left the lab.

Just when he was out of the tunnel, a heat wave struck him.

He had been in the lab for more than a month. It was January when he first came in and it was now already March. As winter was ending, the temperature was rising.

Luo Yuan looked up at the scorching sun and walked slowly out of New Capital City. As he was out of the area, he started to fly without heading to Hope City.

He was flying into the wild. Although he was not flying via the Space-Time bubble, his speed was tremendously fast. He was more than thousands of kilometers away from the Reconstruction Area surrounded by mountains and lush. To be more cautious, he flew via the arc to pass through the mountain.

As the Space-Time bubble faded, he was in an enclosed cave about ten meters wide. He put down his backpack, took out the cell samples and opened each and every one of them. He picked carefully as the weakest one could give him an extra evolved ability. However, all the hard work was not merely for his personal gain.

The first that he eliminated were the weaker ones. There were only 80 groups left from the 321 samples. He eliminated those that were implanted with three abilities as he was afraid of possible instability in the genes, while those that were with only one gene were eliminated too, as they were not deemed valuable.

Soon there were only 12 samples left. He picked again until there were only three.

One was a cold fusion substance dissociation, the other was a cold fusion plasma defense and the last was a cold fusion space shift.

Looking at the three samples, Luo Yuan was indecisive. Choices can be a pain at times. Among the three samples, cold fusion aside, the was one ability that was powerful – the substance dissociation. According to documentations, an evolved person could use his finger to shoot a laser to gasify substances.

However, such ability was buried deep in the evolved human instead of being fully utilized due to weak physical strength. A single shot of laser would drain his strength for half a day and the effect was nothing to shout about. Apart from a scratch on the surface, it could now kill a low-level mutated beast.

However, if the ability was utilized by Luo Yuan with the help of cold fusion, the effect would be a thousand times more. By then, even a level eight mutated beast would not be able to endure it.

Another one would be plasma defense. Luo Yuan was familiar with such an ability as his undergarments were made of plasma. If not for that, he would have been overwhelmed by the four-dimensional vision.

Such ability would produce a high-temperature plasma field with a high functioning plasma state, where it was able to absorb energy and physical attacks, as well as the detection of electromagnetic waves. It was similar to a sci-fi energy shield.

The last one needed no explanation – this ability came from the crazy Mr. Wang from the Firearms Bureau in Hope City. Luo Yuan had been envious of the ability since the beginning. As soon as he had the ability, with the help his two-second Prediction, his ability to survive would be increased.

However, he could only choose one of the three. After much consideration, he chose the space shift. What he could benefit from the substance dissociation was the extra attack power which he did not need, especially with the Zhanmadao. The only thing his saber could not do was to attack long-distance.

As for the plasma defense, it could work on mutated beasts, but encountering a high-energy laser from the extraterrestrial civilization’s spaceship was nothing to him. Even with the cold fusion from the mitochondria, it was incomparable with the spaceship.

He lifted the cell sample up and took a deep breath. Will began to fill his body as he took in the basic foundations of the cell.
