Apocalypse Gachapon

Chapter 1140.5- Needle Bird change (2)

It was chaos, and ice bugs were pretty much having a war among themselves.

This would happen every time food appeared. Ice bugs lived under such cruel competition.

Each time food appeared, many ice bugs would die. Allies killed most of them.

Although these small bugs had weird attacks and humans feared their strong feasting method and huge numbers, they also had to undergo a cruel elimination battle.

This fight would last until the prey died and all its temperature was eaten. Only then would the war between ice bugs stop.

If it were any other life form, they would have been dead. Ice bugs would have bitten each inch of skin and sucked all the heat. Even if they didn’t die from injuries, they would have frozen to death.

The needle birds didn’t die and were still holding on. This had to do with their nature. They were split apart in the lab and skinned alive. After the gene was modified, their life force was so strong that ordinary lifeforms couldn’t compare to them.

They might not be perfect, but they are moving toward perfection.

Liu Zhenghong couldn’t turn them into the most mature product yet, but she gave them infinite possibilities.

This was a strong life force. It was why they could last for many more seconds, which changed the situation.
The ice bugs would fight as long as the needle birds didn’t die. When lifeforms faced a threat, they would find ways to stay alive.

They would choose to resist at the start and turn back to bite allies that wanted to kill them. Some, especially those who won the initial spots, decided to drill into their target’s body!

The Needle Birdsʼ skins were damaged, and some blood vessels were split open. Inside, there was warmer blood. The ice bugs couldn’t take it and headed in.

Like a dam opening, the ice bugs entered. One was to chase for a delicious heat source, and the other was to avoid their allies.

But they didn’t know that the Needle Birds were modified lifeforms. Their lives had infinite possibilities, and they could absorb outside genes to improve themselves.

If not, Liu Zhenghong wouldn’t have told him to control their evolution speed. If not, it would cause uncertain consequences.

These were naturally good and bad.

The bad thing was that they would collapse and die. If they absorbed too many different genes that exceeded their limit, their genes would be in chaos, and they would die.

The good thing is that they absorbed and merged with the genes. With the Needle Bird’s own genes as the main gene, it then absorbs parts of others to get stronger and turn into a new, stronger lifeform.

It was dangerous that Ye Zhongming brought the Needle Birds and let them evolve. Fortunately, they just absorbed human evolved. If they had absorbed too many different life forms, he would have killed them.

They were now level five, and their genes weren’t stable because the timing was too short, and they didn’t fully absorb the genes. After all, there were some strong lifeforms that they needed some time to sieve through.

But when these ice bugs entered the bodies of the Needle Birds, the Needle Birds activated their absorption ability to fend off the invasion. But they couldn’t move and naturally couldn’t absorb any more.

If the ice bugs didn’t fight among themselves, the needle birds wouldn’t be able to do anything and could only wait for their heat to disappear and then turn into frozen corpses.

But these fellows started to fight. To survive, some ice bugs entered their bodies.

The absorption ability activated again.

The needle birds were lucky. The ice bugs not only entered their bodies, but as these small things were very weak, it was easy to absorb their genes. So when they entered, they were absorbed one after another.

The ice bugs naturally didn’t know what had happened. They only realized that even after many allies entered, they could still enter their target’s body. They didn’t hold back and surged in.

The Needle Birds continued to absorb their genes and energy. Although they were weak and each had little energy, there were too many of them, which provided the Needle Birds with an endless energy source.

The energy could only protect them initially, but moments later, it could be used to repair their bodies and injuries.

Of course, some changes were happening inside. Things like cells and genes were changing.

These changes were shown on their bodies.

They started to turn white. Their sharp beaks became shorter but started to shine like crystals. Their poison sacs changed, and bits of white were mixed into them…

Even if Liu Zhenghong was here, she couldn’t tell you what happened to the Needle Birds.

These changes were with a price. The Needle Birds had to suffer from their bodies rejecting the gene fragments. Their bodies shook, and pain covered them.

Two ice balls exploded, and two Needle Birds, who were white with some black lines, appeared. The ice bugs scattered as they couldn’t sense any temperature from their bodies.

The other ball didn’t move. When the ice scattered, it revealed the lifeless corpse inside.
