Chapter 101: Cell Fortification

  "What about this young lady?" Zihuo asked Mantuolu.

  "The military will comply, and I naturally will as well." Mandala said calmly.

  "Since you both agreed, the two of you come with me." Zihuo led the way in front, using bright purple flames to illuminate the dark and dry passageway.

  Arrived at an underground room that had never been touched, this was a completely isolated underground room from the spaceship. Inside this underground room there were countless vacuum tubes, and floating inside the vacuum tubes were all sorts of strange-sized utensils.

  In these vessels is some unknown blue stuff, the blue stuff in the strange vessel looks very clear and drinkable, just like the apple juice soda we usually drink.

  But Li Ling wouldn't be silly enough to think it was soda water, any cup in this vessel would be a product far beyond human technology, however, Li Ling didn't know what it was either.

  "These blue ones can temporarily increase the strength of your cells, but only temporarily. The time limit will not exceed two days. Afterwards, you will be exhausted due to cell strengthening and leave some discomfort symptoms. You cannot exercise normally within half a month."

  Zi Huo instead first spoke of some consequences.

  "After drinking this blue stuff, are there any other aftereffects? Like damaging the nervous system or harming the brain." Li Ling didn't want to have any other aftereffects besides being unable to exercise for half a month after drinking this blue stuff.

  "No. The effect of these medicines is just to enhance cell strength." Zi Yan's words were very affirmative.

  So, in other words, this blue is worth a try.

  However, Li Ling couldn't completely trust Zihuo either, but it was also something that couldn't be helped.

  Looking at the blue bottle, Li Ling's eyes seemed to be attracted by the dark blue light, which appeared as a strange and eerie glow in other people's eyes.

  This made Li Ling think of some magical medicines in certain fairy tales that could turn a normal person into a frog.

  From a certain scientific perspective, for one thing to become another, it is necessary to disrupt the sequence of its own genetic arrangement and recombine.

  But such things are obviously very difficult to achieve.

  "How can we get it out?" Li Ling looked at the blue ** floating in the vacuum tube.

  The purple fire drifted towards one of the vacuum tubes, and a strange thing happened. The flame of the purple fire actually passed through the vacuum tube without any obstruction, directly wrapping two bottles of blue liquid in purple flames, passing through the wall of the tube and taking out the liquid medicine.

  Li Ling and Mandala were slightly surprised.

  This vacuum tube wall seems like a bubble, things can penetrate the tube wall at will, and this tube wall will not break.

  Although some magic can also achieve this, after all, it's not magic this time, but the material of this pipe wall is particularly special.

  After the blue was taken out, the purple flame that wrapped around the vessel's flame suddenly began to spread outwards. The vessel automatically floated in mid-air and drifted towards Li Ling and Man Tuo Luo respectively.

  "Take it." Zi Huo gestured for Li Ling and Mandala to catch it.

  Li Ling caught it, feeling a chill in his hand. Looking at the test tube-like container in his hand, Li Ling was dazed and felt uneasy. After all, what he was about to drink wasn't apple juice, but an unknown substance. It was like a patient being given a newly developed medicine by a doctor, without any verification of its efficacy or potential harm.

  However, Li Ling was indeed generous and willing to be a test subject.

  "It's very cold." Li Ling said, holding the icy test tube in his hand.

  "This is something that can change the intensity of cells. Ten thousand years ago, we used this test tube to do many experiments. At first, it was just for studying cells, this magical life unit. Later, after many scientific researches, we discovered a certain chemical substance that could instantly increase cell intensity. There were even human experiments with such a liquid, which instantly increased strength and was revered by people as divine." said Purple Fire.

  "It seems quite magical." Li Ling smiled wryly, saying that the gods created by humans in this world were actually test products of aliens, and he didn't know what humans would think about it.

  Li Ling grasped the cold test tube in his hand and let out a faint sigh, saying: "Mandragora, I'll try it first. The taste should be pretty good."

  Li Ling smiled wryly.

  "General." Mandala hastily stretched out her hand to stop him and shouted, but after thinking about it, she withdrew her hand and said, "Everything will be decided by General."

  Li Ling smiled slightly, nodded, and felt a sense of heroic departure. He carefully opened the valve on the test tube, and a stream of icy white mist-like gas slowly floated out.

  And this cold cloud and fog, actually brought the surrounding temperature down several degrees in an instant.

  "It's so cold, can a human stomach withstand it?" Li Ling frowned and said.

  "As long as the cells come into contact with this, they will be instantly strengthened. Even if the stomach was originally unable to withstand the cold, it would become capable of withstanding even more intense chill after coming into contact with this." Zi Huo said.

  Li Ling brought the test tube to his lips, tilted his head back, and swallowed the blue liquid in one gulp.

  It was very cold at first, but when that blue thing came into contact with the gums and tongue, the temperature suddenly became normal.

  According to Zihuo's words, it wasn't that the blue color returned to normal, but rather, this blue color flowed down along the throat, instantly strengthening the cells of the mouth and throat that came into contact with it. Therefore, Li Ling only felt a moment of coldness, and then it was no longer cold, because the strengthened cells were able to withstand the extreme cold.

  That cold feeling gradually spread from the esophagus to the stomach, and then expanded in the stomach, being absorbed by the stomach, entering the intestines, being absorbed by the intestines, entering the major blood vessels, spreading throughout the skin. Suddenly, Li Ling felt the entire process of absorbing food. As a result, his whole body shuddered in the icy atmosphere, and he had a chill, but instantly felt refreshed.

  The feeling that followed was that Li Ling suddenly had a surge of power that could blast an armored vehicle with one punch.

  But his mind was dizzy. So much so that Mandala's shout made Li Ling let out a loud "wow" of fright, and the sound wave of this "wow" actually shook the metal wall into a dent.

  "After cellular fortification, sensory organs will be enhanced a thousandfold in an instant. So even if you hear extremely faint sounds now, it would feel like thunder. The earlier fright was to be expected, but afterwards, pay attention to adapting." said Zihuo.

  Li Ling covered her mouth and looked at the recessed wall, nodding slightly.

  After all, his own loud roar just now was enough to make a metal wall as hard as diamond dent inwards. If it were directed at a person, wouldn't that person have already been turned into minced meat?

  "But although the cells have been strengthened, it seems that the muscles of the military executive have not become stronger." said Mandala.

  "Muscle strengthening is just cell proliferation, our invention is cell reinforcement, they are two different concepts." said Zihuo.

  "What about now? Can I take on a Gluttony with my current strength?" Li Ling asked, looking at Zihuo.

  "Not bad? You can drag on the opponent at most, but in terms of withstanding attacks, it has been greatly improved." Zihuo floated to a black stone and took out a black stone: "This stone is a magnetic stone that can activate cell nuclear power. Every time you hold it in your mouth, you can produce a strong magnetic force."

  Li Ling took a step forward, and the ground suddenly appeared with a deep pit. Just a light tread, it was actually such a terrifying power. If this kind of power that cannot be controlled is used in human cities, it will be an extremely terrible destruction.

  Because a person like this can easily knock down a skyscraper with just one punch.

  Any weapon would be ineffective against such power.

  Li Ling also knew that such power was probably not as Zi Huo said, without any sequelae, but rather had sequelae that had not been discovered yet.

  However, Li Ling has already had a taste of the experiment and will not regret it.

  "Mandala, you don't need to drink that bottle, I can handle the glutton alone." Li Ling stretched out his hand and pressed down on Mandala's hand. The strength in Mandala's hand was no match for Li Ling's at this moment. With a light push, Li Ling easily knocked the test tube out of Mandala's palm, causing it to fall to the ground.

  In an instant, on the ground, **scattered and froze all the surrounding ground, with extremely powerful freezing ability.

  The mandrake suddenly jumped out and almost froze its own heel.

  "It's so cold." Mandala saw the ice path on the ground.

  "Yes." Li Ling nodded slightly, and in an instant, his hearing also reached its limit, as if he could hear the sound of metal being torn apart by the voracious creatures inside the spaceship.

  "Gourmand is in another cabin not far from us, devouring metal." Li Ling identified through his keen sense of hearing.

  "Ah, it seems that Taotie has almost devoured all the metal in the maze, but what's inexplicable is why its height remains at six zhang." Li Ling said with confusion.

  "Adult Gluttons can usually only grow up to six zhang." Zi Huo said.

  "That's good, otherwise, if it keeps growing, it would be a big trouble." Li Ling had previously thought that the Gluttony would continue to grow, growing infinitely large, even to the point where it could swallow the entire spaceship in one bite. But now it seems that the six-zhang-tall Gluttony is still manageable. After all, even without cellular enhancement, Li Ling was able to barely hold his own against the Gluttony before. Now, with cellular enhancement, fighting the Gluttony would be an evenly matched battle.

  "But if we were to fight, would you agree to fight inside the spaceship?" Li Ling looked at Zihuo.

  "You can fight outside the spaceship, wait until our ship opens, and then you can lure the Gluttony back into the spaceship. We will use the Six-pointed Star Array to temporarily seal it, and take it out of the Earth's orbit." said Purple Fire.
