More than ten minutes later.

All irrelevant personnel on the prison square were cleared, leaving only the Lickers summoned by Fang Heng.

Fang Heng first followed Mo Jiawei to the warehouse and tried out the materials inside.

The vast majority of materials and supplies containing energy could not be absorbed, and only a few refined energy ores were effective.

The effect was also extremely ordinary.

The skill provided a total of twelve energy slots, and after trying them all, he found that they could only increase a tiny bit of energy.

Only the cosmic crystal ore was worth considering.

After absorbing a box of cosmic crystal ore, it filled a little more than half of an energy slot.

Fang Heng thought to himself that the Sea Star Company was fair in its business dealings.

The cosmic crystal ore was worth the price.

Soon, Qiu Yaokang arrived at the prison's back square accompanied by several researchers.

It had been a while since he had seen Fang Heng.

Last time, he obtained the Hell Phalam liquid that Fang Heng had brought through his subordinates.

That was a special life form that had never been discovered on the planet!

Its structure was extremely strange.

After researching it, Qiu Yaokang felt like he had opened the door to a new world.

He stayed up all night for several consecutive nights, engrossed in research.

Hearing Fang Heng's hurried call for him to come over, he was a little impatient.

His current interests were focused on researching the Hell Phalam.

This unknown life form greatly interested him.

Qiu Yaokang nodded to Fang Heng when he saw him, his mind still on the experiment just now, and couldn't help but ask, "What's the hurry? My research is only halfway done, and I need to hurry back."

"Well, it won't take long, the zombie clones have had some new changes, I want you to come over and brainstorm together."

"Oh?"

Qiu Yaokang's attention was drawn back a little, a look of interest flashed in his eyes, and he looked up at the Lickers in the square.

"Demonstrate it and see?"

"Okay."

Fang Heng took half a step forward and controlled the Licker to use the skill "Efficient Evolution."

"Ka..."

Under the gaze of the surrounding researchers, the Licker's body in the center of the square slowly curled up, and a layer of viscous brown substance was quickly secreted on the surface, quickly forming a meat cocoon shape in place.

The meat cocoon was about half a meter high, like a heart, constantly beating rhythmically.

It seemed that something was gestating inside.

Huh?

Qiu Yaokang narrowed his eyes, looking at the state of the meat cocoon with great interest, and even took a few steps forward, looking like he wanted to try poking the meat cocoon with the tip of his pen.

Thump! Thump!

However, the meat cocoon accelerated its beating!

"Chi! ! !"

Before Qiu Yaokang could get completely close, a crack broke open on the top of the meat cocoon.

Qiu Yaokang stopped, looked at the normal zombie, and stood there thoughtfully.

He touched his chin and turned to look at Fang Heng.

"Zombie form initialization?"

"No, to be precise, it's the transformation of various forms."

Through experiments and game hints, Fang Heng confirmed his guess.

The active use effect of the 'Efficient Evolution' skill is to switch forms.

In the past, once a normal zombie evolved into a Licker or fused with a Tyrant, it could not be changed, and could only evolve further on the basis.

For example, evolving from a normal zombie to a vine zombie, then evolving into a fused vine Tyrant, and then evolving into a fused Tyrant form that ultimately fused with the progenitor virus.

Improving step by step.

But now, Fang Heng can quickly switch between various forms.

There are two prerequisites for switching.

The first is energy consumption.

The second is that the zombie clone needs to have undergone the form transformation itself and be successfully recorded.

After this zombie clone was born, it directly transformed into a Licker form.

Therefore, it can only switch back and forth between the Licker and normal forms.

In addition, the number of switching states is limited, with a maximum of only five recorded.

5 types are already enough!

Fang Heng thought to himself.

In the test just now, it only took less than 10 seconds to restore from the Licker form to the normal zombie clone.

It can be even faster with extra energy consumption!

And the energy consumption is not much, the energy slot only decreased by a trace.

Large-scale form transformation can be completely achieved!

"I see, quickly switching between various forms to cope with different states... This modification of the energy body should consume energy..."

Qiu Yaokang muttered in a low voice after listening to Fang Heng's explanation, then quickly wrote and drew in his notebook, and then raised his head and said, "What are the conditions for obtaining form changes?"

Fang Heng explained, "It is to perform a successful form transformation once, and then the form will be automatically recorded, but the maximum number of recordable form transformations is only five."

Qiu Yaokang nodded and praised, "Interesting."

In order to confirm his judgment, Fang Heng continued to try to have another fused Tyrant walk over and switch to the vine clone form in place.

"Chi Chi Chi..."

A layer of thick gelatinous substance appeared on the fused Tyrant, quickly forming a huge meat cocoon in place.

The meat cocoon quickly shriveled.

After about ten seconds, a vine zombie crawled out of the shriveled meat cocoon.

Each time the state is evolved and changed, the state of the zombie clone will be cleared, and the health will be fully restored.

Not bad enhancement ability.

Fang Heng gently licked his lips.

As long as there is enough energy supply, then the adaptability of his zombie clones will be greatly enhanced!

Fang Heng estimated it.

Currently, he can transform the zombie clones into several types.

The normal zombie form that provides auxiliary skills such as mining, construction, collection, and leveling; the Licker form that is good at climbing and adapts to various special terrains for rapid combat; the vine zombie form that copes with special situations; the ghost claw form that is relatively useless; and the strongest and best at head-on combat fused Tyrant form!

With the talent enhancement, they can be switched at any time!

Fang Heng shifted his gaze to Qiu Yaokang.

"With the current capabilities of the research institute, how long will it take to transform all the zombie clones into each form once?"

Qiu Yaokang thought for a while and nodded, "It will take about half a month. There is no problem with the ghost claw form, Licker form, and vine zombie form. As for the fused Tyrant form, considering the success rate, the current consumables can only equip about 100 zombie clones."

"That's enough, let's start preparing. First, transform them all into the Licker form and the vine zombie form, and then conduct the fused Tyrant live experiments."

"Okay, I will arrange it, it can start tonight."

Qiu Yaokang nodded and drew a few circles in the notebook he carried with him, "In addition, I also need to apply for a batch of resources to assist in the research and development of the zombie form fused with the Hell Phalam."

Speaking of Hell Phalam, Qiu Yaokang's eyes lit up a little.
