However, her body couldn't withstand that kind of burst, so she died.
Jiang Xiao and the others had a knowing look on their faces.
Now they fully understand what the gene lock is.
It is an invisible shackle designed to protect humanity from overdrawing its life force.
Finally, Old Peng said with a serious expression, "But now, this lock is broken, or rather, it has been modified!"
Chapter 577 Jiang Xiao's Gene Lock
Jiang Xiao couldn't help but ask.
At this point, Old Peng's expression became even more unpleasant.
"If the gene lock is indeed modified, then human cells will lose the restriction of division and can proliferate at will, which may eventually lead to diseases and deformities of organs throughout the body, and finally death from failure."
Upon hearing about the consequences, Jiang Xiao and the others couldn't help but gasp; the situation was far more serious than they had imagined.
At the same time, these symptoms correspond to those of the two patients I saw at the hospital earlier.
Jiang Xiao was silent for a moment, then asked.
"Mr. Peng, do we have any defensive measures, or any known antibodies that we can use?"
Old Peng shook his head, looking helpless.
"We haven't found an effective defense yet, and I'm working hard to research it, but this may be the will of 'God,' which human technology can hardly resist."
In other words, is this an irreversible transformation affecting all of humanity?
A chill ran through everyone's hearts.
Even the most confident person would feel intimidated by such an opponent.
However, it's unclear when exactly, but Old Peng's eyes have been glancing at Jiang Xiao intentionally or unintentionally.
Finally, he couldn't help but speak up.
“Jiang Xiao, if I heard correctly, this little girl and those two burly men are strange, while B2 is because he was carrying equipment. And you just said that you have surpassed the limits of the human body, right?”
"Yes what's the matter?"
Upon receiving Jiang Xiao's affirmative reply once again, a glint flashed in Old Peng's eyes, and his voice was filled with an undisguised excitement.
"Jiang Xiao, you may not know what your existence means to us!"
"what?"
Jiang Xiao couldn't understand: beyond the limits of the human body?
If nothing unexpected happens, after being blessed by the strange tales multiple times, the people still alive in the Dragon Kingdom have probably already transcended the category of "human".
Old Peng grabbed Jiang Xiao's hand with great excitement and pleaded.
"Jiang Xiao, you are the first person to resist the power of God with a human body. Perhaps, as the prophecy says, this may be the key to our fight against this disaster!"
Jiang Xiao frowned. He didn't like having too many hopes placed on him, but the current situation didn't seem to give him much of a choice.
"Are you saying that my genes might contain the key to repairing the gene lock?"
Jiang Xiao asked tentatively.
Old Peng nodded, his gaze resolute.
"That's right. If we can extract a special gene from you, it may be possible to develop a vaccine to repair the human gene lock. This could not only stop the uncontrolled proliferation of human cells, but also help us find a way to resist the power of 'God'."
"So what do we do now?"
Jiang Xiao finally spoke up and asked, even though he didn't think his genes could help them in any way.
Shi Shi had said before that both the Chosen Ones who awakened their talents and their strange powers were beings that "transcended the physical body".
Professor Peng quickly replied, "We need to conduct a series of tests and experiments immediately, and I will personally take charge of this process. Although time is tight, we cannot afford any mistakes."
Jiang Xiao nodded, indicating that he agreed.
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Mr. Peng. I'm willing to do my best, but please try to hurry."
Because he still needed to catch up on sleep with Shi Shi.
After seeing Jiang Xiao agree, Old Peng finally smiled. His hands trembled, but his eyes were full of determination.
"Alright, let's start preparing immediately. B2, you're in charge of arranging the laboratory and necessary equipment. You two heroes, you're in charge of protecting Jiang Xiao and ensuring there's no interference during the experiment."
Wang Dayong and Niu Jieshi exchanged a glance, never expecting that they would one day receive such an honor.
Everyone sprang into action. Although they each had their own worries and thoughts, at this crucial moment, they all chose to unite as one.
Inside the laboratory, Jiang Xiao lay on the examination table as Elder Peng personally operated the instruments, carefully extracting samples from his body.
His eyes kept glancing at the data on the screen, as if searching for some crucial clue.
Outside the laboratory, Shi Shi and Wang Dayong stood quietly by, their expressions solemn, both eagerly awaiting the final result.
However, as time went on, Old Peng's brows furrowed more and more, as if he had discovered some problems.
"This is impossible," Old Peng muttered to himself, his fingers rapidly tapping on the instrument.
Seeing Old Peng's reaction, Jiang Xiao felt a sense of unease.
"Old Peng, what's wrong?"
Old Peng raised his head and gave Jiang Xiao a deep look, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes.
“Jiang Xiao, your genes are much more complex than I imagined, but don’t panic, this may be the miracle we need.”
Jiang Xiao was taken aback.
God the hell, I don't need to panic?
If you hadn't said anything, I would have been fine, but now that you've said it, I'm completely panicked!
"What...what's wrong with my genes? Could it be because I no longer exhibit any human characteristics?"
"No."
Old Peng pushed up his glasses, looking as if he had seen a ghost.
"On the contrary, your genes are very normal and perfectly match human genes!"
"Whoo~"
Jiang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief. That's good. Then he secretly blamed the old man for scaring him with that ghostly look he had just made.
But what Mr. Peng said next completely shocked him.
"But what's strange is that your current genetic expression is very similar to that of those humans outside who have already developed genetic abnormalities."
Wang Defa? !
Jiang Xiao sprang up from the laboratory floor with a somersault.
"What are you talking about?!"
Seeing Jiang Xiao's strong reaction, Old Peng immediately tried to comfort him.
"Don't get too excited."
"How could I not be excited?"
"Hey, let me tell you something. Although your gene expression is very similar to theirs, the way it is presented is completely different."
After a pause, Old Peng pondered what kind of simple and easy-to-understand language he could use to make Jiang Xiao understand.
"Just think of it this way: their changes are abnormal and negative, while your changes are positive and healthy, understand?"
uh~
Jiang Xiao: (O_o)??
Seeing Jiang Xiao's wise eyes, Old Peng knew that he didn't understand at all, so he spoke again.
"For example, if you're a young man in your twenties, and you jog 10 kilometers every day, do 50 reps of 20kg dumbbells with one hand in one go, do five sets a day, then do five sets of 30 jumping jacks and 100 burpees each, and stick to this for a month, you'll have a much healthier body. But if you make an eighty-year-old grandmother do this kind of exercise, she'll be exhausted after a day! Do you understand?"
Chapter 578 Buried Alive
"That's right, your genetic lock was broken long ago, but your body not only withstood the infinite proliferation of cells, but also reaped countless benefits from it..."
"for example?"
"for example."
This example really put Old Peng to shame.
That explains his expression of having seen a ghost earlier.
While it's somewhat unbelievable that Jiang Xiao's genetic lock was broken by himself, it was within Peng Lao's expectations.
After all, since it has already surpassed the limits of the human body, the "genetic lock" that is the shackle of the human body has naturally also been broken.
But that's where the strange thing is.
Normally, once the genetic lock is broken, the body will naturally undergo some amazing and incredible changes.
