Chapter 180: Crystal

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation , Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

When Ye Xingchen came out of the bathroom, Lin Sijia was already gone. She had already started to dissect a rat in the laboratory.

Previously, for the sake of convenience, in addition to having a laboratory, Ye Xingchen had also specially reserved a room for Lin Sijia to do experiment’s. After all, Ye Xingchen had thought that if Lin Sijia had developed something useful to him in the laboratory, someone might enter the laboratory to steal it at night. Moreover, many times, when Lin Sijia was in a hurry, she would not even have time to eat, let alone sleep. Therefore, Ye Xingchen simply vacated a room for Lin Sijia.

After all, there was no lack of rooms here. Lin Sijia could do whatever she wanted.

That crystal thing really wasn’t stuffed in by the shopkeeper but grew out of the mutated rat.

Along with the extreme weather, there was also an unknown radiation. However, people did not know about it because this radiation came silently. Not only animals, but many other creatures were also undergoing mutation. Including the marine creatures in the sea.

That was why the seafood Ye Xingchen and the others bought at the night market was several times bigger than before.

Ye Xingchen sensed that something was wrong. In fact, it was caused by the seawater being contaminated by this radiation. However, only Ye Xingchen could smell that something was different. The others could not smell it at all. Lin Sijia picked up the small stone from the rat’s head and washed it. It was precisely as Ye Xingchen had described. This thing really looked like a crystal. Lin Sijia was sure that it was not stuffed in by someone because there was no obvious trauma to the rat’s head and body. Moreover, there were several nerves and blood vessels attached to it.

It was a little like a crystal. The crystal was not very transparent. There were many impurities inside, and it could even be said to be a little murky. However, Lin Sijia was very curious as to why such a thing would grow out of the rat’s head.

The crystals in the brains of the two mice looked similar, so Lin Sijia dissected the mice’s bodies.

She was a little surprised because they had dissected a lot of mice when they were m school. Many times, when she and her friends wanted to study the internal structure of living things after class, the price of lab rats was not cheap, and they could not bear to buy them, so they could only catch mice for research.

It was obvious that even the body of the mutated rats had changed. Lin Sijia was even more curious now that other things had grown out of the mice’s bodies.

After one night, Ye Xingchen woke up and opened the door for Lin Sijia, only to find that she wasn’t in the room.

Little Jia? Little Jia, where are you?”

Ye Xingchen looked up at the clock. Lin Sijia was nowhere to be seen in the kitchen. When he called her, Lin Sijia’s ringtone came from her room.

“Wait!”

Ye Xingchen’s shouting brought Lin Sijia back to her senses. She washed her hands and took off her gloves. After thinking for a moment, she put the crystal that had been washed into a transparent container and brought it out with her. “Here.”

Lin Sijia raised her hand at Ye Xingchen and waved the small box containing the crystal.

You stayed up again? You went to play with the rats?”

Ye Xingchen was a little surprised, but he still took out some breakfast from his space.

“Eat something and go to sleep. If I had known earlier, I would have brought it to you when you woke up.”

Lin Sijia smiled and didn’t say anything. She looked tired, but her eyes were bright.

After eating three soup dumplings and half a bowl of marinated egg and meat porridge, Lin Sijia started talking with joy.

“This is amazing. Do you have more of these rats? Can you bring a few more back so that I can take a good look and study them?”

“This is the first time I’ve seen such a thing grow in a rat’s head.”

“It’s really like you said. This thing looks quite like a crystal. Let’s call it a crystal. I originally thought that it was stuffed in later, but after taking a closer look, I realized that it really seems to have grown out of the rat.”

“It’s amazing. 1 tested its hardness and it’s a little similar to the hardness of crystals. But there are only two mice now, so there are only two crystals. I don’t dare to use them for other tests.”

“When are you going out again? If it’s convenient, bring a few more back?” Ye Xingchen was also a little surprised, but he quickly accepted this matter because he had already experienced rebirth. What else could he not accept?

I think you can study the function of this crystal or its effects.”

Ye Xingchen paused, then recalled what the young man had said to him at that time.

“At that time, the person who sold this rat to me told me that after eating this thing, he instantly felt energetic. He said that he had lost weight from hunger and instantly grew back his flesh after eating this.”

” I suspect that there’s a lot of energy stored in this crystal.”

“Perhaps… Could this be related to mutation?”

Ye Xingchen thought of the novels he had read about the apocalypse. Many of them wrote about the crystal in the zombie’s head. They said that after eating the crystal, one’s superpower could be upgraded.

At first, Ye Xingchen only came to read the stories as a pastime, but yesterday he really saw someone cut out something like a crystal from the mouse’s head’ Of course, just because he read those doomsday novels didn’t mean that others hadn’t read them. Therefore, Ye Xingchen couldn’t rule out the possibility that someone had specially stuffed crystals into the bodies of these mutated rats to confuse others and lead them to think about the contents of those novels.

Why don’t I buy a few live fish for you to try tomorrow?”

In fact, the best test subject would be a lab mouse, but there was no other way. Ye Xingchen didn’t have this thing in his space, and he couldn’t store it After all, living things in his space would die after a certain amount of time.

It couldn’t be helped. Ye Xingchen only had so many people under him. He couldn’t try it on people, as for animals…

“Oh right? Why don’t we try it on Little Black? Heh, it just so happens that

Little Black can contribute to us.”

“Uh, you should buy some live fish. It’s best if you buy more rats.”

Lin Sijia couldn’t bear to use it on Little Black. After all, Ye Xingchen brought Little Black back and raised him for a while, but then he was basically raised by Lin Sijia and Mo Qi.

However, if it was really good for health, then she could really give some to Little Black..
