Chapter 523 The potion that can bring eternal life! (5000 words!)

"The things are here with me. We didn't get them all back. There are too many things over there." Lou Fei'er took off the backpack from behind and handed it to Xu Xin, "Don't look at how small the room looks. The boxes are actually similar to our backpacks, and they all have storage capacity. We can’t bring them all back, so we can only bring some of them back for you to see.”

Xu Xin took the backpack and was a little surprised, but it was reasonable. After all, the backpacks they were using now actually used the same technology.

The crystal room is not big, about forty or fifty square meters, the size of a living room, but if each box has space to store a lot of things, then...

The number of things left by his several-hundred-year-old self was probably far beyond his imagination.

"Then that room...?" Xu Xin looked at the three of them, "What did you do with it? Is it closed?"

"This..." The three women looked at each other and Jin Yue spoke, "The door closed by itself."

"You closed it yourself?"

"That's right. Because the door is very heavy, after we came out, we planned to ask Zeng Tao to close it, but we didn't have time..."

"The door suddenly closed automatically and quickly, with a bang!" Zeng Tao took over, "I was shocked, and my hand was almost caught! If I hadn't reacted quickly, I would be missing a piece of cake right now. Only one hand!”

Jin Yue continued: "That's it. Later we tried to open the door again, but we couldn't push it open no matter what."

Lou Fei'er said indifferently: "They were worried that they would never be able to open it again. I think you should be the only one who can open it. You pushed the door so easily back then, so we came back first."

Xu Xin nodded.

This was beyond his expectation.

He should really be the only one who could open the door of that room. He had this feeling before he even went there.

This is not bad, as it saves you the worry of things in the house being stolen.

"So, are there many kinds of things?"

With that said, Xu Xin opened her backpack.

"Each box is a kind of thing. You can see for yourself, but we can't tell!" Zeng Tao immediately became excited, "Look, look! It's really a good thing!"

The first thing he took out was a piece of clothing that looked like a fireman's suit.

"...This is?"

[Radiation-proof clothing (purple): Clothing that can prevent radiation damage. It has a good protective effect against various types of radiation. The most important thing is that it can prevent mutation, mental disorder and mental control under blood light exposure! 】

Oops...

This is a good thing.

The bloody light should be referring to the red light when the disaster is coming, right?

It was the most powerful weapon of the alien invaders at that time.

The moment he was illuminated by the red light produced by the cracking of the radiation stone, he felt uncomfortable all over, as if something was about to come out of his scalp, and he had a splitting headache.

If you wear this radiation protection suit, you shouldn't have to worry about that situation, right?

"I discovered this radiation-proof suit. There are quite a few in total. The crystal box is full of radiation-proof suits." Zeng Tao said at the side, "There are so many that I can't even count them. I feel like... there are... Thousands of them! ”

Thousands of radiation protection suits?

Could it be that they are the old clothes worn by that group of people?

A total of three pieces of radiation protection clothing were brought back in the backpack. Xu Xin took them out one by one and compared them.

Sure enough, the condition of each piece of radiation protection clothing was slightly different, and slight damage could be seen on the cuffs of one piece.

This is indeed used.

…Does this count as a relic of the original group of people?

Speaking of which, those people from back then all sent their past selves to the future, right?

Those people should be survivors. Therefore, they can be regarded as inheriting their own relics.

Putting away the radiation protection suit, Xu Xin took out the second item from her backpack.

This one...a small medicine bottle about the size of your thumb.

[Gene Potion (Gold): A potion that can suppress blood pattern mutation and regain control of oneself.

At the same time, this agent can affect the genes of the injected new cells and stimulate the telomerase activity of the new cells, so that all cells in the injected body can undergo unlimited controlled replication, achieving a certain sense of immortality.

Need to be used with injection device. 】

Is this the important potion that Yingying in the image specifically told him about?

Stimulate telomerase activity and achieve controlled replication...?

This is...really realizing eternal life!

Regarding the topic of immortality, he had some knowledge before. After all, everyone is afraid of death and everyone wants to know if there is a way to extend life.

Telomerase is an enzyme responsible for lengthening telomeres.

Telomeres are known as the "mitotic clock" of cell lifespan. When a cell divides once, the telomeres of each chromosome will gradually become shorter and eventually cannot divide.

Telomerase can fill in the telomeres lost during DNA replication, prolonging telomere repair, preventing telomeres from being lost due to cell division, and increasing the number of cell divisions.

In normal human cells, the activity of telomerase is very tightly regulated. Active telomerase can only be detected in cells that must continue to divide, such as hematopoietic cells, stem cells and germ cells.

When human cells differentiate and mature, they must be responsible for the needs of various tissues in the body and perform their respective duties. Therefore, the activity of telomerase will gradually disappear.

Cells, tissues, and organs that no longer divide gradually age, and the human body reaches the end of its life.

Therefore, studying telomerase is a direction of studying immortality.

But this enzyme is difficult to control.

In fact, in a normal human body, there are some ordinary cells that are unwilling to be lonely and want to live forever. Their telomerase activity is very strong and they can divide indefinitely.

This kind of cell is basically familiar to everyone.

cancer cell.

The culprit of cancer.

The telomerase activity of cancer cells is abnormally high. Once the telomeres are damaged during cell division, telomerase can immediately repair the damage to the telomeres and achieve unlimited division.

However, because cancer cells are uncontrollable, their extremely rapid division and spread will lead to the birth of tumors in the human body.

If not discovered for a long time, these cells that can divide wildly will spread throughout the body through blood circulation and other means, and then the cancer will have entered the advanced stage and there is no cure.

Cells that want to gain immortality ultimately lead to premature death of the individual. Perhaps this is the human body's struggle for lifespan.

But he didn't expect that the potion he held in his hand could actually achieve controllable and infinite division!

Isn’t this true eternal life?

Of course, even if you live a long life, you will still die.

But...that's the category of starving to death, freezing to death, or being killed. Death from old age is basically impossible. With a body that remains young and energetic, and has a strong immune system, it is even difficult to die from illness, unless there is a super strong human body that cannot Bear the virus.

This is really a great thing!

"How many of these things have you found?" Xu Xin immediately turned to look at the three women.

"I discovered this." Lou Fei'er was already sitting on the sofa touching Coco. After hearing what Xu Xin said, she immediately raised her head and said, "It's not many. I counted it, and there are only more than a hundred in total. Yes? ”

More than a hundred is not much?

It can give more than a hundred people a life span close to eternal life!

He was really shocked.

He thought that this thing was only a dozen or twenty at most, or even single digits.

Unexpectedly, there were hundreds of them!

Then at least these explorers can achieve super long lifespans.

good!

Xu Xin rummaged through her backpack again, but did not find the syringe mentioned in the introduction.

"You didn't bring the syringe back?" Xu Xin turned to look at her.

"Syringe?" Lou Feier was stunned, "What syringe? Isn't this potion for drinking?"

Xu Xin frowned: "No syringe?"

"No..." Lou Feier was a little confused, "Then these are the only potions in the box?"

……What?

Can't inject?

At this time, Jin Yue on the side spoke: "The syringe you mentioned may be an immovable device in that room."

"Oh?" Xu Xin turned to look at her.

"There was a crystal table in that room, and there was a crystal instrument on the table, which was connected to the crystal room. The instrument... seemed to be reaching in." Jin Yue recalled.

"Ah! I remember it too!" Zeng Tao, who was lying on the edge of the sofa and touching Coco's ear, immediately raised his head, "That thing is so strange. It can't trigger the introduction yet. I even put my arm in it and tried it. , it’s of no use.”

"That!" Lou Fei'er was also stunned, and then rolled her eyes, "It's a shame you dare to put your arm in."

"Hey, isn't it okay?"

Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief, then there would be no problem.

Fortunately, there is an injection device, otherwise it would be too painful to just look at it and not be able to use it.

However, if you want to inject this medicine, you need to go to the crystal room, and only he can open that crystal room. In other words, he has complete control over the use of this medicine.

Is this also a benefit given to him by his several-hundred-year-old self?

Not bad, at least you don’t have to worry about unscrupulous people snatching this potion away.

Putting away the genetic potion, Xu Xin rummaged through the backpack again and found another potion.

[Behemoth Bloodline Potion (Purple): Taken orally, no injection is required. After digestion and absorption, it will acquire the bloodline of the giant beast, or enhance the existing bloodline of the giant beast, accelerating the growth of the body, but it requires a huge amount of energy, so it is best before taking it. Prepare huge amounts of food. 】

This medicine is also packed in a small bottle, but this bottle is different from the sealed bottle just now. This one has a twist-off lid, and you can drink it by just twisting it off.

Giant beast blood potion...

"There are many bottles of medicine like this. They are all in the crystal box. They are countless. There must be at least thousands of bottles, right?" Lou Fei'er on the side said, "I can't say more, but... and the one just now The medicine is the same. There is basically no introduction. It just tells me that it is a strange genetic medicine and nothing else. But you must know what it is, right?"

Of course Xu Xin knew.

Perhaps, the identification ability given to him by his several-hundred-year-old self was more for him to identify these special materials.

He held two bottles of medicine and briefly explained their functions to the three women.

Then they all looked at the bottle of genetic medicine one by one.

They are not interested in the giant beast blood potion, but this gene potion is really attractive!

"This thing... is so powerful! Can it live forever and stay young forever?" Zeng Tao's eyes widened and she almost pounced on it and snatched it away.

"...We should have a long lifespan, right?" Jin Yue leaned against the wall and said, "Our mutated bloodline also has this effect."

"Hmm... I don't think so." Lou Feier shook her head and said, "This blood pattern mutated bloodline should only be able to extend lifespan, not immortality."

She pointed to the blood lines on her arm and said: "I am now close to advanced mutation, and I am very familiar with this bloodline. I have a feeling that as long as I successfully advance to advanced mutation, my lifespan can be extended for several hundred years." , but eternal life should be impossible, at most... a thousand years of life."

"Is there such a thing?" Xu Xin asked in surprise.

"Well...it's just my feeling." Lou Fei'er said a little embarrassed, "But...I think there shouldn't be anything wrong."

If Lou Fei'er is right, that means that blood pattern mutation can extend human lifespan, but it can only extend it to a thousand years at most?

...If this is the case, then the time at Changyin can almost be confirmed.

Mimi, they probably only stayed underground for about fifty years, just like Chang Yin said.

And Changyin was turned into a stone statue in the disaster a thousand years ago, and then woke up about fifty years ago and began to welcome the survivors?

No... when he first met Chang Yin, he seemed to have said that he was still a normal human being when he met the first batch of survivors, but it was those survivors who turned him into that ghostly appearance.

I don’t understand...

Forget it, next time you see Chang Yin, ask him carefully.

However, if the blood-striped creature extends its lifespan to a thousand years, then hundreds of bottles of genetic potions will become even more precious!

What a good thing.

"By the way," Lou Feier looked around at this time, "Has Wen Xi gone back? I still want to tell her about our experience this time."

"Yes!" Zeng Tao also reacted at this time and looked around a few times, "I almost forgot about so many emergencies just now. Where is your sister? Isn't your sister here? Where is she? ? Are you taller than me? ”

"That's it..."

Xu Xin sighed, put down the backpack in his hand, and told the three women what had just happened.

"What?! Wen Xi is missing?"

"Huh?"

"This..."

The three women were all very shocked.

Mentioning this matter, Xu Xin was a little worried again, so she called Ma Hongwei, who was still guarding Li Wenxi's tree house, and asked: "What's going on over there? Is anyone coming?"

"No, Brother Xin. There is no one here. The insects have completely receded now, and the surroundings are very quiet now. Not to mention people, there are not even animals."

"...Okay, I understand. Well...I will send her people back right away, and you can come back then."

"Okay."

After hanging up the call, Xu Xin rubbed her temples.

Everything will be fine. There should be no need to worry too much about the safety of the two of them. It's not like they were taken away by the enemy.

Yingying will not be an enemy, nor will she hurt Wen Xi.

But Wen Xi is a very important logistical support for them now. At this critical time, Yingying abducted her, Yingying is really...

"So, the sister-in-law ran away with the sister-in-law?" Zeng Tao was a little surprised, "This sister-in-law is so strong! So is she as tall as me?"

"...much taller than you." Xu Xin patted her head and said.

"...cut!"

"Well...your sister took Wen Xi away." Lou Fei'er said curiously, "Why did she take Wen Xi away? Does your sister know her?"

"How could she know Wen Xi? I haven't seen her here before...that's wrong." Xu Xin narrowed her eyes slightly and thought for a moment.

She might... really know Wen Xi.

...It was Xu Xin who told her herself.

Very detailed!

That's right, that's what he said to Yingying who was still in the past and had not been sent here when he returned to the past in a special state on the second floor of the palace!

At that time, she knew about Wen Xi's relationship with him and was very interested in her. She asked a lot about her!

She knows Wen Xi's abilities!

Could it be that...

Did she take Wen Xi away because of Wen Xi's ability?

Is Wen Xi’s ability to mine metal ores very useful to Yingying?

Well...

He shook his head and took out another tool from his backpack.

[Crystal Pickaxe (Gold): A super powerful crystal pickaxe that can mine all minerals except its own material. There is a certain chance that it can trigger ten times the mining effect. 】

Are there any tools?

A pickaxe for mining ore?

This thing seems to be something made by Li Wenxi, and it can actually trigger multiple mining. Isn't this Li Wenxi's ability?

...Wait...

Isn't this what Li Wenxi made?

Wen Xi also has special abilities, so she must have been a member of that team back then. And Wen Xi's [Prospector] ability was also given to her by the team using a biochip. Maybe this is her ability.

...So, this pickaxe might have been made by Wen Xi, who lived hundreds of years.

"There is only one pickaxe." Jin Yue explained this time, "And if it's either in the box or in the house, it's a high-level mining pickaxe."

Is there only one...

"Are there any metal ores among these resources?" Xu Xin asked immediately.

"No!"

"Didn't see it."

"There shouldn't be, right?"

The three women all shook their heads.

Xu Xin sighed.

It seems that it is not feasible to expect these resources to temporarily make up for the logistical vacancy caused by Wen Xi's departure.

The inventory of metal mines is now running low. There has been no mining of metal mines in the past two days of scorching heat, and the two previous killing weapons have consumed a lot.

Wen Xi's position in the team is so important and indispensable, otherwise all heavy weapons will be suspended at this stage.

Now he really wants to give Yingying who came to cause trouble a brain-busting blow.

...Everyone will gather soon and must discuss this matter.

Find his sister Xu Ying as soon as possible and get Wen Xi back! (End of chapter)
