Starting Off Survival With A Small Treehouse

Chapter 884: Chapter 522: The Elixir of Immortality! (5000 Words!)

”The items are with me. We couldn’t bring everything back, there were too many things over there.” Lou Fei’Er took off the backpack she was carrying and handed it to Xu Xin, ”Although that room looks small, those boxes are actually similar to our backpacks, all with space storage capabilities. We couldn’t bring everything back, we could only bring back some of each for you to see.”

Xu Xin took the backpack, a bit surprised, but it made sense, given they were now using what was essentially similar technology in their backpacks.

The crystal room wasn’t big, about forty or fifty square meters, the size of a living room, but if each box had the capability to store many things with spatial storage, then...

The belongings left by his several-hundred-year-old self must far exceed his imagination.

”So, that room...?” Xu Xin looked at the three of them, ”How did you handle it? Did you close the door?”

”Well...” The three women exchanged a glance, then Jin Yue spoke, ”The door closed on its own.”

”Closed on its own?”

”That’s right. Because the door was heavy, we were planning to have Zeng Tao close it after we came out, but before we could...”

”The door suddenly swiftly closed by itself with a bang!” Zeng Tao interjected, ”It startled me. My hand almost got caught! If my reaction wasn’t quick, I’d be missing a hand now!”

Jin Yue continued: ”That’s how it was. We also tried to open it again later, but no matter what, we couldn’t push it open.”

Lou Fei’Er didn’t seem to care much: ”They were worried it couldn’t be opened again. I think only you can open it. You opened it so easily before, so we just came back first.”

Xu Xin nodded.

This was, after all, within his expectations.

The room likely could indeed only be opened by him. He had this feeling even before he went there.

This was not bad, as it spared him the worry that the items inside the room might be stolen.

”So, are there many types of items?”

Saying this, Xu Xin opened the backpack.

”Each box is a different item. See for yourself, we can’t really tell!” Zeng Tao immediately said with excitement, ”Look, look! These are really good things!”

The first item he took out was a suit that looked like a firefighter’s uniform.

”...What’s this?”

[Radiation Protection Suit (Purple): Clothing that can prevent radiation damage, offering good protection against various radiations. Most importantly, it can prevent mutations, mental disorders, and mind control under blood-red light exposure!]

Wow...

This could certainly be something good.

The blood-red light, it should refer to that red light when the disaster was upon us?

Which was the most powerful weapon of the alien invaders at that time.

When the red light from the cracked radiation stone shone down, he felt uncomfortable all over, as if something was about to drill out of his scalp, with a splitting headache.

If he wore this radiation protection suit, he should not have to fear that situation, right?

”I discovered these radiation protection suits. There are quite a lot of them. That crystal box was full of radiation protection suits.” Zeng Tao spoke from beside him, ”There are so many I couldn’t count, feels like... there might be over a thousand!”

Over a thousand radiation protection suits?

Could it be, the hand-me-down clothes from that group’s team?

A total of three radiation protection suits were brought back in the backpack, which Xu Xin took out and compared one by one.

Sure enough, each radiation protection suit had slightly different degrees of wear and tear, with one having slight damage at the cuff.

These were indeed used before.

...Would these count as relics of those from back then?

Speaking of which, those people from back then had sent their past selves to the future, right?

Those people should all be survivors. So, they were probably inheriting their own relics.

After putting away the radiation protection suits, Xu Xin took out the second item from the backpack.

This one... was a small vial about the size of a thumb.

[Gene Serum (Gold): A serum that can suppress blood pattern mutations and regain control over oneself.

Additionally, this serum can invigorate the gene of the injector’s new cells, stimulating telomerase activity in newborn cells, allowing all cells in the injector’s body to undergo unlimited controlled replication, achieving a form of immortality.

Requires an injection device for use.]

This item was surely the important serum that Yingying mentioned in the images, right?

Activating telomerase activity, to achieve controlled replication...?

This really achieves immortality!

Regarding the topic of immortality, he had some knowledge before, after all, everyone fears death and wants to know if there’s a way to extend life.

Telomerase is an enzyme responsible for telomere extension.

Telomeres are known as the ”mitotic clock” of cell life. Each time cells divide, the telomeres of each chromosome shorten a bit until they can no longer divide.

Telomerase can replenish the telomeres lost during DNA replication, making it possible for telomeres to be repaired and extended, allowing for increased cellular division.

In normal human cells, the activity of telomerase is tightly regulated and can only be detected in cells that need to divide continuously, like hematopoietic cells, stem cells, and reproductive cells, where telomerase is active.

After cells mature and are responsible for various tissue demands in the body, each with its own duties, the activity of telomerase gradually disappears.
