Chapter 418: Chapter 372: What Does It Feel Like to Like Her?

"Let him come, then."

Lanuo cut into their conversation, readily agreeing to Gu Ning’s request to keep her from becoming resistant to the idea.

But regardless of Ningning’s reaction, from the moment she walked into the examination room, her every move and emotional response was part of the check-up.

After learning she was a female, Lanuo knew her constitution was different from that of the females in the Beast Alliance.

Based on his observations of Ningning and her response to the medication over the past few days, he had a growing suspicion that her constitution was even more unusual than he’d imagined.

On one hand, her physique was considerably weaker than that of the females in the Beast Alliance, which aligned with his knowledge of females from Sky Watch Point.

On the other hand, her body’s performance was astonishingly powerful.

Or to be more precise, her genes were powerful.

Previously, when Alex was still in Zone 19, he had sent him a copy of Ningning’s genetic analysis report. At the time, Alex wasn’t entirely certain of her identity, and the data in the report was bizarre.

He had re-examined that report over the past few days. The data made it impossible to determine whether Ningning was a Mixed Breed or a regular Beastman; none of the markers aligned. That was why, at the time, he had concluded the subject of the report must be a Mimic Mixed Species.

On the surface, Mimic Mixed Species are creatures devoid of emotion and thought, and their genes are extremely unstable. This is precisely why they inevitably mutate upon reaching a certain stage of development.

However, Alex’s report hadn’t been comprehensive, as he lacked proper testing facilities in Zone 19. This time, Lanuo conducted a complete genetic analysis himself using Gu Ning’s blood sample.

The results were staggering.

His surprise wasn’t because he had detected something extraordinary in Ningning’s genes. On the contrary, her genes existed in a sort of unobservable state.

It was as if her genes were protecting themselves.

Staring at Ningning’s new genetic analysis report, Lanuo felt he was on the verge of uncovering a hidden answer—one that would thrill any Beastman.

To prove his theory, he collected additional samples: blood from himself, Alex, and Philinos, as well as hair from the two Mixed Breeds, Cook and Barto. He even asked the old bird on the roof for a feather, under the pretext of making scent Inhibitors, and it generously gave him two.

He extracted the genes from these samples and ran a small experiment to see if her genetics would be affected by the Mixed Breed genes.

However, the results didn’t provide the clear ’yes’ or ’no’ he was hoping for. The reports from several experiments were all inconclusive.

Ningning’s genes were like an isolated island under a glass dome. No living organism could land on it; they could only drift by and observe from a distance.

The aggressive nature of the Mixed Breed genes quieted down upon approaching her "isolated island."

Without the ability to conduct deeper observations and comparative experiments, he couldn’t obtain a definitive result, and therefore couldn’t draw a firm conclusion.

But his personal conviction was clear and certain: Ningning’s genes could not be affected by those of a Mixed Breed.

The self-protective nature of her genes was proof enough.

If these inconclusive results were made public, they would be enough to shake the entire Beast Alliance—no, not just the Beast Alliance, but every Beastman clan.

There was one catch, however. Ningning’s genes didn’t just defend against the invasion and assault of Mixed Breed genes; they also repelled the genes of normal Beastmen.

Lanuo ran the experiments repeatedly for days but obtained no further results.

The small hospital had limited experimental facilities. To fully determine the characteristics of her genes, he would have to go to the central hospital in the Upper District and assemble more genetics experts.

However, he only needed to confirm one thing: whether Ningning could conceive and carry a life to term.

If she could, that would be the answer.

In this regard, Lanuo possessed a keen intuition. He didn’t need complicated tests to guess the outcome.

But his profession was one that demanded extensive, repeated examinations and experiments before drawing any conclusions.

Lanuo was practically buzzing with excitement over Ningning’s test results, itching with a curiosity so intense he could barely stop himself from sending the samples and reports to his superiors for analysis by the genetics department.

Still, his reason prevailed, and he suppressed the urge, discussing it only with Alex.

After reading the reports, Alex destroyed them along with the test samples.

He and Alex sat in the lab, facing each other in silence all night. Lanuo’s excitement cooled in the face of Alex’s grim expression, pulling him from his pure desire to study Ningning’s genetic traits back to reality.

Alex was with Ningning every day; if there was something special about her, he would be the first to sense it. Besides, he had already run a simple genetic test on her before. With his capabilities, there was no way he wouldn’t have noticed something was wrong with her genes.
