Chapter 290: The Most Tenacious Gene on Earth (Part one)
In the E.R., Jacob was already completely immersed in his own crazy research. He recorded his findings as he noted down the shocking discoveries.
From the blood stains on Xu Cheng’s forehead, he found even more genetic material from other organisms!
It was very strange, because from the active cells, he found genes from eagles, bats, and a bunch of others that he hadn’t confirmed yet with the limited database he had access to in the E.R.
He felt this was getting ridiculous, because how could a person’s body carry so many DNA cell bodies that were all perfectly integrated?
From the blood stains on Xu Cheng’s hands and arms, he even found the genetic structure of felines, and what was even more shocking was that the feline gene was already perfectly integrated with the eagle’s genes!
If Xu Cheng knew this, he would definitely realize where his penetrating vision ability came from. It was from the fusion and evolution between an eagle’s long-range vision and a cat’s night vision!
Jacob felt like all of his common sense was overthrown by what he witnessed today, and he was so focused that when he got up, he accidentally knocked over a water bottle placed next to him, causing water to fall onto Xu Cheng’s body.
Jacob quickly stood up to check on Xu Cheng, and seeing that the blood bags were running low, he immediately added two more bags.
Then, he began collecting blood samples from other parts of Xu Cheng’s body to search for other genes.
However, he didn’t notice that the water that was splashed onto Xu Cheng actually suddenly began slowly sliding up on Xu Cheng’s skin. The water quickly climbed to the biggest wounds on Xu Cheng’s body and covered it, and then a magical scene happened. The water actually began repairing those open wounds, and in just a few minutes, the biggest wound that was on Xu Cheng’s shoulder pretty much healed, leaving behind only old blood stains.
Immediately after, those water molecules traveled to the other four gun wounds on Xu Cheng’s body and began healing.
In the meantime, the constant input of blood began to spread throughout all his blood vessels, repairing and awakening Xu Cheng’s weak and dormant heart.
At this moment, Jacob didn’t notice, but Xu Cheng actually moved his finger slightly.
Then, that weak ECG suddenly went back to normal.
Xu Cheng suddenly opened his eyes, and lights flashed through his eyes.
With his back against Xu Cheng, Jacob was still doing experiments when he heard an abrupt sound behind his back. He immediately turned back to look at the operating table and saw Xu Cheng still lying there. Jacob went over and touched XU Cheng’s chest, feeling the strong heartbeat. He then saw the ECG had recovered to a normal person’s heartbeat pattern. He excitedly checked Xu Cheng’s body, and then he saw the wounds on Xu Cheng’s body all completely healed. His mouth opened up wide as his eyes stared right at those old wound spots, and his breathing started to pick up in speed. Subconsciously, he took a step back and almost fell to the ground, and he immediately went back to the table to record down the new findings.
Xu Cheng opened his eyes when Jacob turned around, and through his body, he saw the content the doctor was recording. A chilling light flashed past his eyes as he saw on Jacob’s notebook were all secrets of his body! Those were all the genes that Jacob found in Xu Cheng’s body, and when Xu Cheng saw them, he was also quite shocked. Before, he didn’t know at all what was injected into his body and what was happening, and after seeing those animal genes that Jacob was recording down, he just realized that those were the biggest reasons that caused the gradual changes to his body.
Chapter 290: The Most Tenacious Gene on Earth (Part two)
After Jacob finished taking notes, Jacob turned around and was almost scared to death when he saw Xu Cheng already sitting up straight looking at him. He backed up into a wall and looked at Xu Cheng in fear.
Xu Cheng just woke up, so he was still quite weak. He looked at the doctor and faintly asked, “You are the doctor. Can you tell me, what happened to my body?”
Since some of his special abilities emerged, he had always been scared of going to a doctor, and since a doctor already found out about the secrets of his body, he might as well ask him.
Jacob swallowed his spittle, and he stuttered, “Y-y-you, are you going to kill me?”
Xu Cheng: “That will depend on what you found.”
Jacob immediately replied, “Nothing really! I didn’t see anything!”
Xu Cheng: “Then why are you so scared?”
Xu Cheng lowered his head and saw the suture on his chest. A hint of murderous intent flashed past his eyes. “You seemed to have dissected my body, right?”
“I…” Jacob panicked even more. “I just found one thing.”
Xu Cheng looked at him with interest. “Talk about it.”
Jacob nervously nodded. “Do you know that you have some animal genes in your body? All in all, I don’t really know what was happening as well in such a short amount of time. It was incredible that your original chromosomes were not destroyed and you are still alive. I’ve never seen anything like this before… Can you tell me, are you really a human?”
Xu Cheng didn’t know much about genetics, so he felt that he could use this guy. He asked, “Then you are studying why my body turned out to be like this?”
Jacob said, “Right now, I have made some preliminary discoveries, and it’s really a breakthrough in the scientific world! I completely didn’t know why your body could absorb all these genes while you can survive perfectly. In the past few years, no one had succeeded in this field of research, none! But today, you made me see some scientific miracles in your body.”
Jacob said as he was very excited to tell other people about the results he found. He turned his computer over to Xu Cheng and let him see the 3D diagrams of his biological research. He said, “The genetic structure of human DNA is very fragile, and the scientific community had done several inhumane experiments. Once any non-human DNA is injected into the human body, it will instantly destroy the human genetic mechanism and cause induced cancer formation or eventual death. There had been almost no successful cases, yet in you, I found at least 50 genes that are gently coexisting with your genome at various parts of your body, and a few of them are restricted or dormant. I’ve never seen anything miraculous like this, it’s completely impossible in the biological world, so I have to say that your body is really powerful, powerful enough to allow you to endure the most painful period in the beginning after the injection.”
Xu Cheng thought back to how he was in a coma for three days. During that time, he was in a dream where he was enduring so much pain that he thought it would be better to just die.
Jacob pointed at a picture on his computer’s screen and said, “You should thank this little guy.”
Xu Cheng looked at the little caterpillar-looking organism with eight legs on the screen and frowned. “What is this?”
Jacob: “A water bear, the most tenacious species on Earth. Scientists have studied this little guy for over centuries, and if it wasn’t for this thing’s genome in your body, you would’ve already been killed by those foreign animals’ genes.”
