Ace of the Dragon Division

Chapter 287: Discovery of Powerful Genes (Part two)

“Miss. Lin, don’t be anxious, I might need some time to observe him. To be honest, it’s my first time seeing a phenomenon like this. As a doctor, I won’t give up on any chance of saving my patient. But, this is indeed my first time encountering this kind of situation, and to be honest, I don’t have the confidence to find out why he’s in this kind of dormant state. So, as his family members, I need to ask for your permission. If you agree to let me do some observations, I will definitely try my best to save him. If you don’t agree, then you can also transfer him to another hospital.”

Lin Chuxue looked at the doctor and asked, “Tell me the truth, how likely is he to be able to survive this?”

The doctor didn’t hide it and said, “With his current state, once his blood and oxygen supply is cut, he might just die right away. Maybe he’s still hanging on because there are still things he can’t let go of in this world.”

Lin Chuxue wiped off her tears, took a deep breath, and said, “Doc, then please do what you can to save him.”

Jacob nodded and then walked into the surgery room alone. He pulled down all the curtains and began to dissect Xu Cheng’s body. When he opened up Xu Cheng’s chest, as expected, he saw the heart beating slightly and very slowly. It would only beat faintly once after dozens of seconds, and one wouldn’t even notice it if they didn’t pay attention closely.

Jacob was amazed.

Normally, when a person was on the verge of death, their heart wouldn’t beat at this kind of interval, refusing to die. He noticed that Xu Cheng’s heart was still beating mysteriously at a very stable interval. Jacob was very curious as to whether Xu Cheng was already dead or not, suspecting that the heartbeat was just a kind of illusionary sign of life that was being caused by some parasites.

He was quite confused.

Then, he sutured up Xu Cheng’s body, collected some tissue samples, and then he directly pulled an experimental table beside the operation table and began conducting analysis. He prepared a smear of a few drops of Xu Cheng’s blood and began identifying the cells.

The more Jacob studied, the more surprised he became, because he found active genes that didn’t belong to humans being expressed within these cells!

This discovery shocked the doctor to his core！Normally, cells of different organisms couldn’t coexist peacefully in one body. That is, if a powerful bacterial parasite enters his body, it would usually trigger the human body’s immune system and get attacked or destroyed.

Also, human genes were actually very weak, and if any external genes were introduced, it would destroy the human’s chromosomes and cause death.

However, Jacob actually made the shocking discovery that not only were those genes not destroyed nor did they damage Xu Cheng’s original genes, they actually perfectly integrated into Xu Cheng’s body!

He was an expert scientist in the field of genetics, and for the first time in his life, he encountered a case where a variety of genetic chromosomes existed in one body. The genetic structures seemed to be more precise and powerful.

He then opened up the biological cell data profiles and began comparing with the genes picked up from Xu Cheng’s blood.

What he actually found was that there were DNA sequences that didn’t belong to the human genome inside Xu Cheng’s body, and the sequences were found in other species of animals.

Leaf ants! He looked through his database for a long time before being able to finally find a match. There were also tardigrades, which were known colloquially as water bears!

Jacob couldn’t believe his eyes as he double-checked over and over with the water bear genes that scientists have studied for more than a decade. The genetic sequence was 100% the same, it couldn’t be wrong!

He started breathing faster and faster too.

The most tenacious animal in the world, one that almost couldn’t be killed, was actually these acute little micro-animals named water bears! Why did Jacob recognize the water bear right away? Because the research community has studied water bears for a long time now, and they were no strangers to this cute little creature.
