I became a god by treasure hunting after arriving 500 years early

Chapter 529: Chapter 389 What… Fifty-six years?!

Ma Dafeng lay on the hospital bed, his eyes weakly opening to gaze at the barren ceiling. Perhaps it was due to just having awoken from hibernation, his mind was a complete muddle, and occasionally, his lungs would feel bursts of coughing desire.

On the bedside table was a life-monitoring device displaying data such as heartbeat and blood pressure, with a saline drip attached to his hand.

As a “Sealing” Ability user, ever since he sealed the soul of that “Great Spirit Rhythmer”, he had been infected by the Deformation Power. His skin turned like that of an octopus, and even his limbs transformed into tentacles with suckers and tumors sprouting.

The events that followed had become unclear to him; at that time, he merely survived the harrowing pain akin to Hell on a single breath.

He only remembered that Humans were waging war; he had escaped from a flying saucer…

Only to see the light of day again today.

“Am I dead, or alive?”

Ma Dafeng gradually regained his senses, looking at his hands, which had somehow become somewhat delicate and smooth.

The deformation… disappeared? How many years have passed?

Seeing the time on the wall, he was somewhat bewildered, what kind of Pangu joke was this, how the hell had fifty-six years passed, was this some kind of time travel?

A “gurgle” noise emerged from Ma Dafeng’s throat, but he was too weak to say anything.

“Hey, buddy, you awake? Congratulations, you’ve been honored with a second-class merit; you’re a hero indeed.”

“Don’t be surprised, indeed fifty-six years have passed, it’s really… shocking, haha. I had the same expression when I first woke up.”

Beside him, a warrior who had awakened earlier, and had both legs amputated, looked like a butchered human, was there bragging and shooting the breeze.

“I… cough cough cough!” Ma Dafeng started coughing violently.

“Old Ma, your situation isn’t the worst; just a transplant of Insect Race organs can dispel that Power of Deformation.”

“A minimally invasive surgery can complete the entire process, and you won’t even feel much.”

“But there are some comrades whose mutations are too severe; their brains got infected, and scientists had no choice but to inject a portion of the Insect Race Gene.”

“It’s a necessary evil, better alive than dead, right…”

Ma Dafeng covered his mouth, baffled, what are you talking about.

However, as his sensory abilities gradually recovered, being alive really felt great!

Not just Ma Dafeng, all the warriors in the hospital rooms, once they understood the situation, felt a sense of survivor’s joy after a catastrophe.

Fifty years, oh, scientists took fifty years to rescue them from the hands of [Deformed Ghosts]; this could only be described as “a noble act of grace”!

Footsteps echoed down the corridor.@@novelbin@@

Ma Dafeng and others were among the last batch of patients to awaken from a coma; the expert teams still conducted thorough examinations of everyone’s physical conditions.

A female assistant nearby asked a few common cognitive questions, like “202-11 =,” “What is your name,” “What color is this,” “Name of relatives,” and so on.

Ma Dafeng responded well to all, to everyone’s relief. A small fraction of survivors had cognitive errors or memory loss, with a rate of about 0.5%.

“No, no need for thanks, I have said it, I would bring you all back, it’s just keeping my promise. So no need to thank.” Professor Lu Tiantian said while inspecting the wards.

“Major Ma, do you have any peculiar sensations?”

Ma Dafeng hesitated for a while, laboriously squeezing out a few words: “Hands and feet… are a bit numb and tingly, and I oddly feel very strong… but now very weak, it’s all just very strange. My eyesight also improved, it’s like I can see the dust or something.”

The many professors, looking at each other: “Another enhanced person with positive enhancements.”

One excited female doctor said: “Record him in the archives, I’ll take responsibility for follow-up investigations.”

Among the soldiers treated with “Insect Race Organ Transplants,” about one-tenth exhibited unexplained physical evolution.

Insect organs are too complex; many mechanisms are not fully understood, and even though these organs have been removed through surgery, it does not involve genetic changes, yet during those few days in the body, they released a considerable amount of mind-oriented substances, various hormones, etc., enhancing the human body.

Such evolution includes enhancement of muscle mass, increased neural response speeds, improved digestive abilities, cardiovascular enhancement, coagulation function enhancement, and improved vision, among others.

Since most of the effects were positive, the “Insect Race Organ Transplant Repair” project was not terminated.

And those treated by injecting Insect Race Genes, about 90% exhibited slight evolution, affecting approximately eight hundred sixty-five soldiers.

This naturally attracted the attention of many scientists; if there truly are no side effects, then it’s a blessing in disguise, and the next generation Enhancement Plan must be formally put on the agenda.

Namely— “Human Enhancement Plan”!

“Rest well, awaiting the day of complete recovery.”

After Professor Lu Tiantian and others finished inspecting the infirmary, they left the hospital in high spirits; this last batch of over three thousand patients would recover within a month.

Seven years of time, 180,000 patients, all recovered!

Humans, conquered the [Deformed Ghosts]!

What a world marvel this is!

It’s also a blessing in disguise, ushering in an era of biology!

After this wave of fifty years of insane investment, it truly was insane, Humans drew from South Island Civilization’s biotechnology, even managed to utilize a fraction of the [Ghost’s] power, nurturing so many well-known professors, this is absolutely the best era for biological evolution!
