Chapter 286 LV3 Bug Quality Rift
Chapter 286 LV3 Bug Quality Rift
After half an hour of Fusion, the bug arm cultivation at the connection end turned into countless fleshy buds that intermingled with the severed limb, bones interlocked, and nerves fused. The process was so painful it could make one's teeth shatter.
However, neither Bai Qilan nor Bai Qiuwen wavered; they simply thought that when it was their turn, they would need to prolong the fusion process to gradually lessen the pain.
This prisoner was just scum who relied on his First Order Upper Grade status to attempt indecent acts on ordinary women, and had his hand chopped off by the patrol team.
"Let me go, let me go!"

As the pain subsided, the prisoner's arm slowly began to move, yet he still kept begging to be let go.
"Shu Hongguang, take him for a test."
"Understood."
Shu Hongguang, seeing the initial success of the experiment, looked excited and gestured to two institute guards to come forward and lift the prisoner.
"Behave yourself; there's no shortage of prisoners in the dungeon. There are plenty of people willing to cooperate."
In the apocalyptic world, there were no human rights; even without the chance for a reduced sentence, cooperation with experiments only meant more rest and food. And even so, many were willing to cooperate.
Shu Hongguang took the team downstairs for testing, while Bai Qiuwen and Bai Qilan discussed the preliminary success of the research.
"Using Zerg nests to cultivate specific organs for transplantation is a feasible plan. However, in addition to limb cultivation, there is more difficulty with internal organs like the viscera."
However, at least the feasibility of researching bug bone organs was not low, and their impact on genetics should also be within control.
...
The preliminary test results came out quickly.
After Shu Hongguang's testing, once the initial adaptation period was over, the use of the bug arm was basically no different from that of a normal person; it was as if the fingers were his own, and control was extremely normal.
In terms of combat capabilities, the bug arm had roughly twice the strength of his other arm; its defense was slightly weaker than metal, but it could withstand ordinary sword slashes. As long as the force didn't exceed a certain threshold, it likely wouldn't break easily, comparable to Zerg carapace.
Regarding the flow of Spiritual Energy, the reinforcement was no different from flesh and blood, even slightly quicker, allowing for more powerful bursts of strength.
One could say that the experiment was extremely successful; the arm was completely regenerated.
However, there were drawbacks. The Fusion process was extremely painful, and sensation was somewhat reduced; the sense of pain and touch were somewhat dulled, one of the characteristics of bug limbs.
Furthermore, the bug limb's enhancement did not synchronize with the body's own enhancement.
Shu Hongguang specially used a strengthening serum to enhance the prisoner's body. The body's strengthening was significantly higher than that of the bug limb, and not by a little bit.
This meant, if the body made significant enhancements, the bug limb might not keep up in strength, necessitating another gestation or a method to elevate the bug limb together.
Of course, the increase in strength and Spiritual Energy were two separate matters, the interference was not significant.
If the Spiritual Energy was substantial enough, it might even be used to nurture bug limbs, one of the predicted methods of enhancement by Shu Hongguang.
