Li Qing began trying to find logical flaws in the other person’s argunt.
But he found that, theoretically, there was no major problem.
Most bacteria are single-celled, with only four to five thousand gene fragnts, making it easy to partially decipher and reprogram them.
Due to their size, genes can be constructed like small blocks in one’s hand, and they can easily achieve things like nuclear transfer, gene injection, and chromoso micro-surgery that humans struggle to achieve under a microscope.
This feels like the plot of a sci-fi apocalypse movie, opening Pandora’s Box.
Suppressing his surprise, Li Qing jokingly remarked:
"If this is true and you can endow bacteria with intelligence, then the bacterial civilization explosion in your room could be as powerful as your zombie virus. This is an evolutionary apocalypse, no wonder you’ve isolated yourself."
Ning Guochang said, "Yes, Earth has a life history of billions of years, and evolution is random, like buying a lottery ticket, seeking one random possibility out of hundreds of trillions, terribly inefficient, while they actively seek that one in a billion random number, evolving tens of thousands of tis faster than humans!"
"As the Zombie Lord, I can control organisms, but currently my spiritual power can control only 0.0023 grams of a bacterial army; beyond that, I can’t control it."
"But so ti ago, I accidentally looked at the ’Awakening’ microorganisms with my eyes, and there were at least several hundred grams, exceeding my control limit, they went out of control... I couldn’t control them as they climbed over this table; it was hard to crush them with my palm. I tried using my 0.0023 gram army to annihilate them in a battle of two armies."
"The enemy compiled bacterial gene structures, establishing flagellum warhorses in the microscopic world and developing bows, arrows, and catapults."
"My controlled forces were elite, but after all, only 0.0023 grams while they were at least seven hundred grams, so my kingdom’s entire army was annihilated. Fortunately, I reacted in ti, using dical alcohol to eradicate those uncontrollable entities..."
Li Qing was surprised, looking at the table in the isolation chamber in front of him for quite a while before saying, "For their civilization, that must have been an apocalyptic deluge."
"Yes! That flood was earth-shattering, corpses strewn all over wherever it reached!"
Ning Guochang’s voice was low and hoarse, seemingly reminiscing about that scene of terrifying war disaster, as grand as a myth.
"At the ti, my eyes were overlooking that kingdom battle, the opponent, self-proclaid as Valcaral Kingdom, worshipping a large beast mite as their mythological totem."
"But luckily the opponent was foolish, not yet developed too intelligently, they gathered to launch an attack, and were promptly wiped out by my charge."
Li Qing found this intriguing.
The ’dinsions’ of civilizations are different.
To them, are we humans gods?
Perhaps.
We are high-dinsional beings so great in front of bacteria that they can’t even gaze upon our form.
This great flood caused their civilization to face mass extinction.
Earth has experienced five mass extinctions.
The Ordovician-Silurian extinction, the Devonian extinction, the Permian-Triassic extinction, the Triassic-Jurassic extinction, and the most recent and widely known, the Cretaceous extinction 65 million years ago, leading to the extinction of the dinosaurs.
"Since then, I started keeping my eyes closed, wearing sunglasses, because I feared another accident could happen."
Ning Guochang was fearful and uneasy, deeply exhaled, "The number I can currently control has a limit. More uncontrolled microbial kingdoms erging would be terrifying."
One must say, the imagination of soone with ntal issues is rich, the civilization story of bacteria, this Creator’s story is interesting enough to be serialized online.
But the various anomalies might indicate it’s not just a story.
If so, things have beco sowhat serious.
"And what’s left?" Li Qing, following the line of thought, soothed his excited emotions while attempting to find a logical flaw, "After the flood, there must be so scattered bacteria species that survived, right?"
"Yes, a few are left, they hid away, no clue where they went, but it’s insignificant."
Ning Guochang stated plainly:
"They can no longer stir up any waves, even if they plan to assassinate , the god, with a strike like Jing Ke attempting to assassinate Qin in this sterile chamber."
"Those righteous warriors avenging their fallen nation, do you understand the Assassins’ Creed? These heroes of a lost nation riding on haired steeds, launching surprise attacks everywhere, trying to assault my defensive forces, and they even succeeded, using a strategy of diversion to break through the guard patrols on my skin, successfully entering my body to wreak havoc, but at most, they only damaged a few cells, and my immune system quickly killed them."
Li Qing was shocked, imdiately saying, "Then they learned from failures, grew smarter, and are using military tactics this ti."
But, whether true or not, can you still call this place a sterile chamber?
Bacteria must be everywhere in here.
Li Qing’s expression grew increasingly odd as he continued chatting, "This is all truly a dramatic twist, much more exciting than your previous descriptions of the zombie life experience so much."
Ning Guochang said, "Back then, there was still hope for , I barely managed to kill the uncontrollable microbial communities, not yet causing the irreversible error we now face."
"This current mistake?" Li Qing asked.
Ning Guochang was silent for a few seconds, seeming to muster imnse courage, took a deep breath, "Until three days ago! When I was bathing, I let my guard down!"
"That day, I reluctantly adapted to this fear of dense patterns, drank a little wine, and watched so TV, only to realize I accidentally looked at my body..."
"Did you awaken all the microorganisms on your body?" At that mont, Li Qing felt as if he had thought of so terrifying ghost story, a peculiar and inexplicable fear spreading across his entire body in an instant.
Even if one isn’t in dicine, anyone who attended high school biology knows:
The human body, from inside out, houses nurous microorganisms and microbios.
Humans coexist with microorganisms.
"Yes, I, I created another uncontrollable kingdom again, this ti, they were born inside my body."
Ning Guochang’s voice pulled Li Qing back from fear, unexpectedly calm,"You know, the human body is a complex ecological kingdom, with approximately 60 trillion body cells in a human adult, and bacteria capable of stable symbiosis with the human body total up to 1000 trillion."
"So of them have awakened, perating and crawling from every place inside out."
He extended his hand, silently gazing at his cracked snake-like palm, as if ticulously counting the microorganisms crawling over the pores:
"Look, they are watching , my body has already beco a giant kingdom!"
"And the 0.0023 grams of microbial troops I can control are far from being able to exterminate them."
"I tried bathing with alcohol, but it was useless, there are just too many, impossible to cleanse them from inside the body."
Ning Guochang sat on a chair across the glass, hunched over, bearing trendous invisible pressure, his voice resonated with the weariness of an elderly in twilight years.
"They have started building armies on my body, creating new creatures of various grotesque forms."
"My body seems like the origin of life in the cosmos, fracturing, disintegrating, and they keep erging from my body, busily constructing their nation outside."
This man locked himself in this closed room, suddenly mocking himself:
"Perhaps, I’ll die soon, and when I collapse and disintegrate, it’s when I, this Pangu, split the heavens and the earth in this room."
Is everything true?
Are you not deceiving , did you call over because you’re really dying, is there truly a world awaiting to inherit?
Li Qing was completely silent inside, feeling as if his entire viewpoint was upended.
As if witnessing a civilization war movie, and in the chair before him sat the man possibly suffering from severe delusions, who was the towering giant creating world civilization.
The entire isolation chamber seed like a new Earth, on the verge of demise, preparing to split the heavens and the earth.
