272: A perfect anatomy lesson

Yang Dian's steps faltered the moment he followed Professor Shen Fei into the classroom.

He had wondered why Professor Shen Fei would bring him to class for no reason.

It turned out to be an anatomy class.

And it was live dissection.

As for the dissection subject?

Mutated, ultra-awesome Guangdong twin ponytails!

Each Mutated Cockroach was currently bound tightly to the dissection table by nanobeam restraints, with only the antennae on its head unrestrained.

The flexible antennae occasionally brushed against a few female students, causing goosebumps to erupt all over them, making them shriek and yell in surprise.

Additionally, the armory was indeed operating at full capacity.

Mechs, which couldn't be fully equipped by the army just a few months ago, could now be arranged to protect students during experiments at school.

Professor Shen Fei's was a large class, with many people attending.

Standing on the podium, Yang Dian only took a glance to deduce the precise number of people.

229 people.

Currently, 229 people were gathered around 23 dissection tables, with a Mutated Cockroach bound to each table, and a mech with glowing eye-lenses standing beside each dissection table.

"If the cockroaches break free, the mechs' movements might be a bit too forceful and could easily damage the equipment."

"You need to control it carefully."

Yang Dian couldn't help but chuckle:

"I knew it, Professor, why would you let me come to class? You're just using me as a bouncer."

"Professor, you really do make the most of everyone."

Professor Shen Fei looked back at Yang Dian and said seriously:

"I'm not calling you a bouncer; I genuinely want you to experience campus life."

"University life is also one of the most beautiful periods in a person's life; you shouldn't miss out."

Yang Dian nodded in agreement:

"Alright, alright, I'll come to school when I have time."

As for when he would have time?

Only heaven knew.

After a brief chat, Yang Dian walked down from the podium under everyone's gaze and headed towards the nine-person dissection table in the corner of the dissection room.

How to put it...

It was strangely awkward.

Yang Dian, who had fought many battles, big and small, now felt a sense of unease.

'Indeed, no matter how rich the experience of the Great Emperor of the Bathing Yellow, returning to campus still makes him green.'

Just as Yang Dian, with a hint of strangeness, stood by the nine-person dissection table, Chen Wenqian smiled and whispered:

"Uncle, long time no see."

Yang Dian squinted at her:

"Are you watching a Korean drama? Calling me uncle."

"You're considered a public servant now."

After saying that, Yang Dian looked at the Pikachu, Squirtle, and Pang Ding triplets nearby, who seemed a bit excited to see him, and then at the Hanfu girl, who looked somewhat shy upon seeing him.

"How did you end up with them?"

Chen Wenqian blinked:

"Huh? You mean Yaoyao and the others?"

"They are classmates; it's normal to be in class with them."

As soon as Chen Wenqian finished speaking, the Hanfu girl took two slow steps to Yang Dian's side and greeted him somewhat shyly:

"Classmate Yang, long time no see."

No sooner had she finished speaking than the Pikachu triplets also gathered around.

However, before they could speak, Professor Shen Fei, standing on the podium, tapped the table twice.

"Class starts."

As his voice fell, a projection simultaneously appeared on the screen behind him.

However, the projected image was not the theme of this class—the Mutated Cockroach.

Instead, it was combat.

The battle between Awakened, Martial Artist, and Mutant.

The battle between the army and the beast horde.

The battle between Mutant and Mutant.

Only when the combat video finished playing did Professor Shen Fei continue:

"As a science that explores the essence and laws of life, biology's value is not only reflected in understanding the natural world but also profoundly impacts human survival and health."

"However, since the Qi Revival, organisms have undergone large-scale mutations."

"Therefore, biology has taken on more responsibilities."

"For example, researching the causes of biological Awakening and mutation."

"Also, finding ways to make the mutated abilities of mutated organisms inherit in an orderly manner."

"Furthermore, finding the weaknesses of mutated organisms, discovering their medicinal uses, creating genetic agents, and precisely eliminating specific mutated organisms..."

"To know specific information about mutated organisms, systematic dissection of them is indispensable."

"The Mutated Cockroach is the first type of mutated organism we have dissected since the start of the semester, but it will not be the last."

"Now, according to the homework assignment from the last class, the chief surgeon confirms the dissection tools, the recorder draws/photographs the mutated organism..."

"Then, we first anesthetize the Mutated Cockroach..."

"The Mutated Cockroach's nervous System exhibits a segmented, distributed characteristic, with nerve centers located in the brain and the segmented ganglia of the thorax and abdomen."

"This makes it react extremely quickly when in danger, and even after losing its head, its thoracoabdominal ganglia can still control its body for movement, breathing, and basic survival and combat functions."

"And because it has stored enough energy, even after losing its head, it can survive for days, years, or decades, depending on the total energy stored within its body."

"Whether it will undergo new mutations due to losing its head during this period is unknown and currently under experimentation."

"If any students are interested in this, you can form corresponding research groups and apply for relevant experimental equipment and research subjects..."

"So, all students, please also pay attention."

"If you become Awakened or Martial Artist in the future and fight against cockroach-like mutated organisms, blowing up their heads is not enough; you must completely destroy their nervous Systems."

"Now, let's pick up the anesthetic needle and inject the anesthetic into the cockroach's brain and thoracoabdominal ganglia to anesthetize its body..."

"Then, pick up the scalpel, and let's dismember their exoskeleton along the gaps in their exoskeleton structure..."

"The chitin in the Mutated Cockroach's exoskeleton has biocompatibility and can be used to develop medical dressings or drug carriers to promote skin regeneration..."

..."The thoracoabdominal ganglia of the Mutated Cockroach possess the ability to independently control local reflexes."

"Its limb regeneration mechanism involves special growth factors, which may promote cell proliferation and differentiation, and can be used in our research on wound repair..."

..."After mutation, the cockroach's biological activity greatly increases, and the effects of peptides and glycoproteins in its extracts are also greatly enhanced, which can effectively inhibit the growth of tumor cells such as lung cancer and nasopharyngeal cancer, and induce cancer cell apoptosis."

"Of course, if you students want to be free from all diseases, the best method is still to Cultivate martial arts..."

..."Hemolymph contains components such as ascorbic acid and trehalase, which have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects and can participate in regulating immune responses..."

..."Muscles contain a large amount of high-energy protein, which can be used as the main material for making high-energy nutritional drugs for Martial Artist to Cultivate..."

...A large biology dissection class lasted for nearly 3 hours.

In just 3 hours, under Professor Shen Fei's guidance, male cockroaches, nearly two meters long, were dismembered into various parts.

Mouthparts, antennae, exoskeleton, limbs, muscles, fat bodies, salivary glands... every independent organ was clearly explained by Professor Shen Fei.

Even someone like Yang Dian, who was attending the class for the first time, gained a sufficient understanding of the Mutated Cockroach.

Moreover, under Professor Shen Fei's eloquent explanation, he gained considerable insight into biology, genetics, and anatomy.

Some things, once learned, one wants to use.

So Yang Dian took out the unknown biological egg and squeezed it.

'If this little guy keeps staying in the egg and doesn't come out, should I dissect it and see?'
