Apocalypse: My Tattoos are Ten Yama Kings

Chapter 364 - 358: Mysterious Tree Root, the Dean’s Research成果

Emperor Dragon City.

Lin Yuan hadn’t visited Emperor Dragon City in a while, and the rapid construction of this giant city is second only to Peng City.

Emperor Dragon City has the largest number of experts in the entire Human Race, as well as the most resources.

Therefore, the construction speed of Emperor Dragon City is naturally quite fast.

In terms of experts, excluding Lin Yuan, Peng City and Emperor Dragon City cannot be compared.

In terms of resources, Peng City cannot compare to Emperor Dragon City.

So, why is Peng City’s construction speed even faster than that of Emperor Dragon City?

The credit for all of this goes to Lin Yuan.

Apart from Lin Yuan, no one else in the Human Race currently possesses the ability to control Evil Spirits.

The rapid construction of Peng City is due to Lin Yuan controlling the Mud Crocodile and Dark Demon Ape.

With these two super labor forces, Peng City’s construction speed is naturally very fast.

However, judging from the current situation.

Ever since the execution of the Nine Cities Plan, the dire situation for humans has shown signs of alleviation.

Humans proactively abandoned vast lands, gathering together.

This way, human experts also gathered together, greatly strengthening their prowess, achieving a certain ability to counter Evil Spirits.

No longer as before, when humans were too scattered, facing Evil Spirits, most people had no power to resist.

A great person once said, "If you lose land but keep people, both are lost. If you keep people but lose land, both are saved."

In this context, executing the Nine Cities Plan, abandoning land, and preserving vital power is undoubtedly the most correct choice.

Looking at it, the nine Giant Cities are slowly being built. By then, with the protection of the Nine Giant Cities, humans’ living environment will be much safer.

Upon surveying Emperor Dragon City, Lin Yuan did not linger too long. He entered the city to find the dean.

Emperor Dragon City.

Inside the Research Institute.

In the dean’s laboratory, at this moment, the dean is still researching that old tree root.

The last time Lin Yuan came, the dean was researching this old tree root.

The time before last, the dean was also researching this old tree root.

Anyway, ever since Lin Yuan handed this item to the dean, he hasn’t rested for a moment, as if he were obsessed.

Lin Yuan glanced at the roots on the research platform, still about the same as the last time he came, no noticeable change.

Lin Yuan pondered, this research probably hasn’t made any progress yet?

He thought to himself, "If we can’t figure it out, maybe it’s best to stop researching it?"

Of course, saying that would be impolite.

Thus, Lin Yuan tentatively asked the dean, "Have there been any developments?"

Contrary to Lin Yuan’s expectations, the research on the old tree root has indeed seen progress.

Upon hearing Lin Yuan’s words, the dean’s eyes lit up, showing a peculiar gleam.

"Indeed!"

"Come quickly and see my progress!" The dean excitedly pulled Lin Yuan towards a secret laboratory.

After passing through three heavy steel doors made of ghost alloy, the dean led Lin Yuan to a secret laboratory.

This lab was even more confidential than the previous one where the dean was stationed.

After undergoing multiple identity verifications, the dean took Lin Yuan inside the lab.

Inside a pristine white laboratory, there were numerous petri dishes.

Inside the petri dishes were semi-transparent nutrient solutions, in which various animals were soaked.

No....

Not just animals, there were humans in these petri dishes too.

The dean took Lin Yuan to one of the petri dishes, which contained a tiger.

This tiger didn’t initially seem abnormal, but when Lin Yuan’s gaze moved to its two forelimbs, an anomaly was quickly discovered.

For some unknown reason, this tiger’s forelimbs were severed. Now, its forelimbs appear to be woven from countless vines.

Not only did the vines form the tiger’s forelegs, but they also climbed half the tiger’s body like a creeping fig.

Lin Yuan observed the tiger with a keen sense, noticing that the vines, covering half of the tiger’s body, were still slowly writhing.

If they maintain the current speed, it would take about ten more days for the vines to envelop the entire tiger.

Beneath the tiger’s petri dish was a name tag labeled "Number Nine."

Lin Yuan then continued to observe other petri dishes.

In another dish, a black snapping turtle was immersed. The turtle’s shell was also crafted from vines.

Due to the turtle being smaller than the tiger, the vine coverage on its body had reached about ninety percent.

The vines on its body were still growing, wriggling. At the current pace, it would take about two or three days to entirely envelop the turtle.

The turtle’s petri dish bore the label "Number Eight."

Continuing on, there were numbers seven, six, five....

The number one petri dish was the most peculiar.

Because all the other dishes contained animals, while the number one dish held a human.

This person’s head was half destroyed, and the damaged half was replaced by vines; after completing his head, the vines spread throughout his body.

It’s clear he was the first test subject, and the vine coverage on him reached ninety-nine percent, nearing complete coverage.

The vines replenishing human and animal bodies were pitch-black and lustrous.

Lin Yuan wasn’t foolish; he had deduced that these black vines probably originated from the half of the old tree root given to the dean.

Could it be?

Is this the dean’s research outcome?

But, even if these shattered bodies were completed by vines, of what use are they?

Because, when Lin Yuan’s consciousness touched the petri dish, he easily sensed that the entities within were lifeless, devoid of vitality.

"Dean, are these the results of the old tree root research?" Lin Yuan asked.

The dean didn’t hide anything, frankly stating, "Yes, the old tree root contains unimaginable vast energy."

"Each of these specimens used only one ten-thousandth of the root fragments."

"These experimental subjects, I call them Tree-man Warriors. From the current stage, they should possess nearly Tier Five Peak combat power."

Tier Five Peak?

Keep in mind that now, all Tier Four in the Human Race combined do not exceed five.

This includes Lin Yuan and the half-human, half-Evil Spirit sister-in-law.

Besides this, Tier Five Peak represents the pinnacle of human combat power.

Damn?

Is the dean attempting to mass-produce Tier Five Peak warriors?
