Chapter 55 Methods to Enhance Mutation Efficiency
Su Han arrived at building 10 by the time Bai Qilan and Ye Kailing had already settled in and gotten a decent understanding of the camp.
Though there weren't many people, the overall atmosphere in the team was good, and regardless of gender, except for the little girl Guo Huihui who didn't have a Contract, everyone else was a Contractor.
In a roundabout way, Bai Qilan had also learned that this was arranged by Su Han, indirectly proving Su Han's character.
"Bai Qilan," Su Han called out to Bai Qilan, "I have some questions to ask you, can you come over here?"
She paused, walked over, and said, "What is it?"
Su Han led her out of the villa to building 9, where two Half-Fish Monsters locked in cages caught Bai Qilan's eyes.
A flash of surprise appeared in her eyes, and she keenly noticed something amiss about the cage.
Where would people on the run find such a suitable cage? She had searched building 9, but this thing wasn't there.
Moreover, there were no welding marks on the iron cage.
She couldn't help but turn her gaze towards Su Han, sensing that this thing and the Black Armor were somehow special.
"If you had two Half-Fish Monsters, how much extract could you produce to enhance the Angel Envoy?"
"It's hard to estimate, I just simply extract their most active tissues and inject them into the Angel Envoy's body, in other words, drawing blood and marrow. As long as their Regenerative Power keeps up, then it can be drawn continuously."
Bai Qilan looked at the Half-Fish Monsters and said softly, "In fact, these monsters have very strong Regenerative Powers, drawing blood is feasible at about four to five hundred milliliters a day; spinal tissue doesn't work as well, it takes longer. But if you want to enhance strength this way, it probably won't work."
Su Han frowned slightly and asked, "Why is that?"
Bai Qilan explained, "Your Angel Envoy is clearly stronger than the Half-Fish Monsters, meaning the Special Ability inside it is more active, the cells are stronger, the likelihood of inducing mutation in them by the Half-Fish Monsters is very small. In fact, after Ye Kailing and I in our flesh bodies reached First-level Intermediate, the effect of mutation significantly decreased.
Simply extracted, the energy contained is too little, unless..."
"A more powerful monster?"
Su Han interrupted Bai Qilan's words, to which Bai Qilan nodded and said, "Yes, according to my guess, the stronger the monster, the higher the likelihood of inducing mutation in weaker monsters.
There's also another method, which is to purify the extract as much as possible, turning it into a real enhancer, but we don't have the conditions now, not enough equipment, not enough energy, can't do it."
The approach of Bai Qilan, in essence, was derived from the original method of genetic mutation, high-energy radiation exposure, mutagens, etc., that induce gene mutation.
The special energy present now and strong monster genetics are essentially mutagenic factors, and what she needed to do was to enhance these mutagenic factors.
"What do you think about the fish monster leader?"
"You want to confront that fish monster leader?"
Bai Qilan hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, there's no need to take such a big risk. I heard from Meiyu that you are already preparing to dig a channel. This is actually also a method of diverting water.
The monsters haven't contaminated Yunling Lake's water source, just divert water around them, it should be fine; there are quite a few in their pack, if not properly prepared, it might lead to deaths."
"I know,"
Su Han glanced at Bai Qilan and nodded, saying, "I'll be prepared, but as for the extract matter, I'll leave it to you."
"Understood, I'll get as much out as possible, but I need two people to help."
"Ask Yan Meiyu for that."

"Run fast, they're catching up!"
Meanwhile, in another part of the city, Cheng Zhenyong was driving a Dajin cup van, constantly pressing the accelerator, his expression tense to the extreme.
Behind him, there were several other vehicles, all carrying survivors from the supermarket.
However, whether it was Cheng Zhenyong or the other cars, they were all fleeing as fast as possible because trailing behind them were twenty to thirty ferocious meat corpses.
Ahead of this group of meat corpses, three large giant corpses strode towards them, moving much faster than the rest of the meat corpses.
These meat corpses were nearly three meters tall, their skin a dark gray, eyes blood red, heads enormous, necks almost non-existent, with heads connected directly to their bodies.
They roared and charged at the cars; each of their steps landed with a heavy thud, covering nearly two to three meters with each stride.
"Boom"
The last vehicle, in trying to avoid an obstacle on the road, somehow slowed down and was immediately seized by the opportunity of a giant corpse which leaped onto its roof.
The thin roof couldn't withstand the pressure of a heavy object falling on it, instantly caving in.
The giant corpse roared and stretched out its massive claws, reaching into the car window to grab someone's head, snapping their neck, and dragging the body out of the car.
"Roar"
The flesh corpses swarmed forward, devouring the fresh body, and even more flesh corpses surged out from both sides of the street.
"Ah!"
The screams inside the car were incessant, and the twisted vehicle finally flipped over, resulting in severe casualties. More flesh corpses gathered around for a feast.
The three giant corpses left the overturned car behind and quickly pursued the car ahead.
"Damn it!"
Cheng Zhenyong saw this scene in the rearview mirror, utterly unable to suppress his anger. This was already the third car.
They had been targeted by monsters shortly after leaving the Lihua Supermarket, and these were three even larger flesh corpses with more powerful strength and defenses, at least all First-level Intermediate or above.
They were no match at all and could only run, desperately trying to shake them off.
But under the shroud of fog, they dared not speed up, and the debris on the road also made it impossible for them to fully extend the distance.
A third of the people were dead, but they were still unable to escape.
"Hold on tight, we're approaching the police station!"
The more they ran, the louder the noise they made, attracting even more flesh corpses.
From twenty or thirty, the number quickly grew to forty or fifty. Despair gradually dawned on them, fearing they were doomed if this kept up.
"Bang bang bang"
However, just then, a black armored vehicle suddenly appeared ahead: "Brake, swerve left and right."
The sound of the horn made Cheng Zhenyong and the others move their vehicle aside on the street, and the continuous gunfire rained down on the giant corpses.
Bursts of blood blossomed, and even with their rough skin and thick flesh, these monsters could not withstand the gunfire.
Cheng Zhenyong's face showed an excited expression; they had finally arrived. It was the police station's personnel.
He immediately moved to the side of the street, making room for the police to attack the monsters. Under the barrage of bullets, the three giant corpses were quickly killed, and many more flesh corpses were also shot dead on the spot.
"Roar!"
Amid the monsters' roaring, they quickly disappeared into the fog, temporarily retreating.
Cheng Zhenyong breathed a long sigh of relief, his heart finally settling down, knowing they were safe at last.
"All personnel in the vehicle, get out immediately. We are from the city police station. Now, disembark and report the number and type of contractors you have, and be sure not to make any unauthorized moves. Please cooperate immediately."
The voice was stern, but Cheng Zhenyong felt no nervousness or fear. He called out loudly, "We are getting out now; we are all civilians, less than half are contractors. I am your station's Guo Wutao's comrade-in-arms, Cheng Zhenyong."
"Director Guo?"
There was a slight exclamation from the police, and then everyone got out of the car. The leader glanced at Cheng Zhenyong and said, "Director Guo is at the station. If you are indeed his comrade, we'll take you to see him later. We're here to search for supplies."
"Thank you."
Cheng Zhenyong then noticed that there were several other vehicles behind the armored vehicle, mostly buses, each driven by a guard.
"Captain, the giant corpses are dead and can't be contracted."
"Take the bodies back to Professor Bai Qiuwen, then organize the people to get on the buses, and let those among them who are contractors assist in the defense."
The captain was not surprised that they couldn't form a contract. The team that came out to search for supplies were all contractors, who couldn't contract again, and from past experience, killing from a certain distance also precluded contracting.
The team neatly cleaned up the battlefield and after verifying there was nothing unusual with Cheng Zhenyong and his group, they used the contractors' abilities to load the giant corpses onto the last vehicle.
"Everyone get on, follow me. The station is temporarily safe and can protect you."
