Chapter 43

That night, Li Tianran was exhausted.

More than physical, it was mental exhaustion. In that single night, he had witnessed too many unbelievable things, keeping his nerves on edge.

Only after parking the car in the farm's courtyard and placing his parents' ashes in a safe place did Li Tianran finally relax.

Bai Jingyan and the others had already left, taking their companion's corpse with them.

Li Tianran knew that Bai Jingyan was a viper more dangerous than Jin Lian, but he couldn't kill Bai Jingyan tonight. The power behind him had only shown the tip of the iceberg, yet it was enough to shock Li Tianran.

If Li Tianran killed Bai Jingyan tonight, he probably wouldn't even be able to stay in Nancheng. He would face endless attacks and pursuits.

Bai Jingyan, who could even get his hands on pulse weapons, might one day use tanks and fighter jets, and Li Tianran wouldn't be surprised.

Compared to Bai Jingyan, the so-called People's Self-Salvation Society was just a rabble.

If he wanted to take him down, Li Tianran needed to use other methods.

But tonight, he didn't want to think about anything anymore. After taking Hanhan and Xiao Hei to the bedroom, he collapsed on his bed and quickly fell asleep.

…

Tonight, some slept soundly, while others were sleepless.

For example, Yuan Wen and Yuan Yi, after bringing a large number of criminals back to the military police station, immediately began a round-the-clock interrogation.

For example, Bai Jingyan, who had obtained Li Tianran's blood, immediately threw himself into research after hurrying back to the institute.

Bai Jingyan had only five days left to live, and he was now standing on the edge of death.

If he didn't speed up the research, everything would be in vain.

Under the night, the interior of the institute was brightly lit.

Nearly twenty researchers, dressed in sterile suits, sat in front of their instruments, their expressions serious, even reverent.

Their eyes were all on Bai Jingyan.

More precisely, they were on the sealed test tube in Bai Jingyan's hand.

The blood-red liquid flowed slowly, maintaining peak activity, affecting everyone's heart.

"This is... the blood of a perfect mutant?" Someone whispered, their voice trembling.

"This is the key to opening the era of the gods!"

"We finally got it!"

"We will definitely make history!"

The researchers were excited, encouraging each other, the excitement and joy in their eyes almost breaking through the sky.

They were all pure scholars, their only thought was to follow Bai Jingyan and complete his almost mythical ambition.

But these people didn't participate in anything other than research, and they had no interest in anything else.

They weren't even interested in where the blood came from or how it was obtained!

They only cared about the secrets contained in the blood!

"This is a historic moment. We don't have much time left, everyone. Please cherish this hard-won result." Bai Jingyan's tone was also extremely solemn. He opened the sealed test tube, poured nearly half of the blood into a small cup of liquid in front of him, and distributed it to the researchers.

The purpose of this cup of liquid medicine was not to dilute the blood, but to maximize the characteristics of the blood, so that people could see everything more clearly!

The successful extraction of the V-shaped virus in the past relied heavily on this medicine.

It maximized the genetic changes in mutant creatures and radiated plants, allowing Bai Jingyan and others to accurately locate and extract them!

Each researcher received nearly 2 milliliters of the medicated blood. They took out a dropper, placed the medicated blood on a test paper, and then steadily placed the test paper under a microscope to observe its characteristics with instruments!

Each researcher here was responsible for a different aspect.

The first observed blood cell activity, the second observed gene sequence, the third observed cell division speed...

Nearly twenty researchers perfectly divided all aspects of the blood gene.

Bai Jingyan also sat down, responsible for the most important task.

He was responsible for observing and comparing the differences between Li Tianran's blood data and ordinary people and mutant creatures. He had to record any slight difference.

Because even if there was a difference in an extremely small corner of the gene cell, the biological body might undergo earth-shattering changes.

He adjusted his mental state to its peak, ensuring that he would not miss any details.

The entire institute was shrouded in an extremely serious atmosphere, like a battlefield before a war.

Like a mountain wind about to come!

"Cell activity... three times higher than normal!"

Soon, someone exclaimed.

This was a good start!

Cell activity three times higher than normal was enough to illustrate Li Tianran's uniqueness.

High cell activity meant faster tissue repair and stronger metabolic function.

To put it simply, Li Tianran's speed of recovering from injuries and stamina was three times faster than ordinary people!

"Three times! This is too strong!" The researcher recorded this valuable data in his notebook, exclaiming in admiration.

Undoubtedly, the researcher's discovery aroused the emotions of others.

They were excited.

Because this blood was indeed different from ordinary people!

But cell activity was only the most basic manifestation, they needed to dig deeper!

Gene sequencing, cell division process!

This was the main event!

They were very excited!

But time passed by minute by minute, and after two hours, no one exclaimed again.

Some people got their data, but the expressions on their faces were a little strange.

They turned to look at others, asking with their eyes.

The responses they received were surprisingly similar. In the aspects they analyzed, these bloods were completely identical to ordinary people's blood.

"Eosinophils belong to the white blood cell system that heals bacteria in the human body, but medical evidence shows that eosinophils have a weak phagocytic function. It is generally believed that they do not play a major role in antibacterial infection defense." A researcher looked at the data displayed in his instrument, comforting himself: "It... may not have much to do with mutation! So it is possible that the data is not much different from normal people!"

"The gene sequence is normal, there is no increase, decrease, or dislocation!"

"The cell division process is normal, no mutation was found!"

Sweat dripped from Bai Jingyan's forehead.

For some reason, he felt a little uneasy.

He compared Li Tianran's blood with ordinary people's blood, but the result of the comparison surprised him.

Except for cell activity, he found almost no difference!

"Is there still a detail I didn't notice?" Bai Jingyan muttered to himself, a trace of anxiety in his eyes, gritting his teeth.
