Chapter 55 (1/2)

From the get-go, Fang Zheng had planned on using the Zerg technology to modify his physique.

In fact, Fang Zheng already had this idea when he came to know that this was the world of Edge of Tomorrow. Among the three interstellar races, the Zergs’ biotechnology was unparalleled in the world; no one was better in the modification of one’s body than them. Therefore, Fang Zheng had already made sufficient preparations at that time. In the battle with the lich lord, Fang Zheng had realized that he was far too lacking in the physical fitness department; he couldn’t rely on his physique. And it would have been a waste of time if he had slowly exercised his body. It might have been better to simply leave it to the Zergs to strengthen.

However, Mylune informed Fang Zheng that his body was far too weak to withstand the strength of the core after having checked Fang Zheng’s body. The same was true even if it was just transforming him to Zergs. Because the strength between both sides was unequal. If Fang Zheng tried forcefully transplanting other’s genetic sequence, a mutation could occur… Of course, the Zergs might not have cared about their looks but Fang Zheng still had to look at his face.

But then Mylune made another suggestion.

“You mean… a body reorganization.”

“Yes, Master.”

Mylune nodded in agreement upon hearing Fang Zheng’s question. The tentacles behind her swayed a bit before she spoke.

“With all due respect, the efficiency of your current body is far too low. I think the best way is to disassemble your body first and then reassemble it. In this process, I will gradually integrate the core’s gene sequence as well as the Zerg’s gene sequence into your gene sequence, which will fuse the power of time gene sequence to the maximum…”

“Mhmm…”

Although he had been mentally prepared, Fang Zheng was still disturbed by Mylune’s explanation. It should be brought to attention that even Kerrigan in the game didn’t enjoy this treatment. But before that, there was still something Fang Zheng needed to clarify.

“Can I choose my appearance?”

“Well… of course! The psychic energy can help you maintain your shape. But Master, I think that the loss outweighs the gain. After all, the form adapted to the needs is more suitable for evolution…”

“No, there are other uses for me. So, it’s decided.”

Fang Zheng rejected Mylune’s bewitchment decisively. Kerrigan was eager to take revenge; she was willing to do anything for it. She didn’t even realize when her hair turned into whips. Besides, it was better for Fang Zheng to decompose and reorganize his body. It must be known that although this body was similar to his own, it was still someone else’s body at the end of the day. It was really uncomfortable to use. But if he reorganized it, then it would be completely his own body!

Moreover, the human body had limits. So… I will not be human anymore then!

As such, Fang Zheng, after making a decision, took off his clothes and entered the incubation pool, starting his journey of rebirth.

This was a very magical experience for Fang Zheng.

He didn’t have a clear idea about Kerrigan’s transformation but Fang Zheng’s transformation and reorganization were obviously very different. He laid in the incubator and let the strange liquid drown his body. What Fang Zheng found strange was that even if he was submerged completely in the liquid, he didn’t feel any suffocated at all. He gradually felt as if his entire body was floating before his body began to feel numb, from his fingers to his arm, and then to his shoulder, spreading to his entire body just like that… If Fang Zheng could turn his head and look, he would have discovered that his fingers were gradually dissolving and melting in the liquid.

Fortunately, Fang Zheng didn’t feel anything. So, he didn’t have to watch his scalp dissolve, his skull getting separated, his brain melting…

Time went by minute by minute.

Fang Zheng didn’t feel anything. All there was before his eyes was darkness. The only thing he could feel was a warm feeling as if he returned to the mother’s womb… Stop! Who would remember how one felt in their mother’s womb!

Alright, I should change the adjective. If I feel like I am in my mother’s warm embrace…

Sure enough, my Chinese culture is extensive and profound.

In the darkness, a bored Fang Zheng only thought about these boring things. He didn’t know how long had passed, let alone about his current situation. After all, Fang Zheng didn’t even have any organs to observe after his eyeballs had melted…

“Ding.”

And just as Fang Zheng was waiting in the dark, the system prompt suddenly rang by his ears. Fang Zheng’s mind was immediately jolted awake when he heard the system prompt. He hurriedly opened the log. Soon, a line of system messages appeared in front of him.
