Chapter 955 Doctor Blade
Crimson liquid churned, and as massive objects periodically surfaced, a closer look revealed them to be people!
"Are those corpses?"
Xie Wei's gaze was icy.
"Uh... they're people, but they're not dead. Their senses have been sealed, turning them into living dead. They're being soaked in medicinal fluid. I heard that once the soaking is complete, they can consume a mysterious potion. If they can withstand its potency, they can become powerful individuals!"
Wang Dazhi, noticing Xie Wei's look, quickly explained.
"And if they fail?"
A hint of fear crossed Wang Dazhi's face as he whispered, "If... if they fail, they turn into a corpse."
As he spoke, he gestured towards a room with three characters on it: Morgue.
Through the massive floor-to-ceiling window, rows of corpses could be seen within. Some were covered with white cloths.
Others seemed to have been newly transported and not yet covered. One could see bodies covered in red hair, resembling red-haired monkeys.
Each of them had a contorted face, their bodies swollen as if they were hundreds of pounds overweight...
"How did that person become like that?" Xie Wei asked Wang Dazhi.
Under Xie Wei's fierce gaze, Wang Dazhi, who had remembered some things, suddenly recalled nothing: "I..."
"Useless!"
"I'm useless..."
Wang Dazhi was on the verge of tears, daring not to retort.
Just then, Chen Xuan spoke:
"It's likely due to the potion. The medicinal fluid contains immense vitality. Those who can withstand it will absorb it all. If they can't, under the powerful medicinal effects, their hair will grow this long, and their bodies will become this swollen."
"Of course, if their physical constitution were even weaker, they would simply explode."
"How do you know? I heard the lab personnel say the same thing!"
Wang Dazhi suddenly remembered, looking at Chen Xuan in surprise. He hadn't expected Chen Xuan to understand it so thoroughly.
He likely had no idea that long ago, Chen Xuan had encountered similar laboratories and had learned the entire process of creating mutants through some documents.
Moreover, Chen Xuan noticed that the structure of this laboratory was identical to the previous one, even the murals on the walls were the same. Had that scientist from years ago not died?
But soon, Chen Xuan shook his head.
It shouldn't be. That scientist had been executed. He had seen it with his own eyes. He couldn't help but question what was going on.
"Puff!"
Suddenly, a muffled sound came from the soaking chamber!
Inside, a person suddenly exploded, their features unrecognizable, as if hit by a bomb. Blood flowed out, splattering everywhere.
The exploded corpse then floated on the medicinal fluid, a truly desolate sight. Clearly, that body could not withstand the medicinal power.
"No wonder the medicinal fluid is red..." Xie Wei murmured, clenching his fists.
Soon, footsteps approached. Four men in protective suits rushed into the soaking chamber and used hooks to retrieve the exploded corpse.
"Really, people nowadays eat too many food additives, their physical fitness has worsened, and they can't even endure this bit of medicinal power. What a waste!"
"Hmph, tell me about it. It's a sheer waste of materials. If this continues, we'll have to ask Young Master Su for funding again. You don't know how difficult it is to ask Young Master Su for money every time."
Facing the corpse, they showed no mercy, complaining about the subject's poor physical condition.
Chen Xuan, overhearing their conversation, felt his pupils contract.
Young Master Su, which Young Master Su?
The financial backer behind this laboratory?
The surname Su also made Chen Xuan's mind race...
Su Ning had boasted of bringing trillions of funds, arriving with great fanfare.
However, he was reportedly only investing hundreds of billions. If he truly mobilized a large amount of capital to attack the Su family in the provincial capital, the Su family would be in serious trouble. But Su Ning hadn't done so, even after his failure.
Could this be related to this matter?
Soon, amidst sighs of complaint, several laboratory staff carried out the body on a stretcher.
The exploded corpse was a gruesome sight, extremely terrifying. The faint-hearted might have nightmares for a whole night!
"Bastards, that's a human life!"
Looking at the corpse so close, Xie Wei clenched his fists, his eyes reddening.
Whose son was this, whose husband, whose father?
This was utter disregard for human life!
Xie Wei wanted to rush forward, but Chen Xuan stopped him. It wasn't time to act yet!
Besides, Chen Xuan also wanted to know who the mysterious backer named Su truly was!
The laboratory staff threw the corpse into the morgue and soon came out. One of them shouted coldly at Wang Dazhi, "Wang Dazhi, this is a restricted area. Hurry up and take the seeds to the seed room, then leave immediately!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wang Dazhi nodded quickly.
"Let's go, we're heading to the seed room."
Soon, they proceeded to the seed room and underwent various physical examinations. After the examinations, they could finally proceed to the next stage.
"Alright, Wang Dazhi, you can leave now. I'll take them to see Doctor Blade!"
A woman with a mask, her voice cold, said to Wang Dazhi.
"Then I'll be leaving!"
Wang Dazhi felt a great sense of relief. He glanced at Xie Wei and Chen Xuan and quickly slipped away.
If the lab personnel knew he had brought two troublesome individuals in, they would likely kill him.
He had already planned to leave the laboratory and immediately flee abroad with his money.
He had saved up a sum of money, enough to live comfortably for the rest of his life.
"Follow me."
The cold woman said, twisting her waist and walking out of the seed room in black high heels.
Chen Xuan and Xie Wei exchanged a look and followed the woman.
Soon, they arrived at an adjacent laboratory. Inside, a middle-aged man wearing a mask stood with sunken, sharp eyes.
He held two test tubes of chemical liquid, conducting an experiment.
The cold woman stood before the middle-aged man and said respectfully, "Doctor Blade, I've brought them!"
"Alright, you can go now," Doctor Blade said faintly.
"But..."
The cold woman's pupils contracted. Her peripheral vision swept over Chen Xuan and Xie Wei, a hint of worry appearing.
"Don't worry," Doctor Blade waved his hand.
The cold woman still turned and left obediently.
Doctor Blade looked at Chen Xuan and Xie Wei and said faintly, "I wonder what you two intend to do by infiltrating our laboratory?"
Chen Xuan and Xie Wei's pupils both contracted.
It seemed this guy already knew they weren't seeds but had infiltrated the facility.
"You're not talking?"
Doctor Blade suddenly paused, let out a few cold laughs, and clapped his hands.
The laboratory door opened, and two staff members emerged, carrying a mangled body.
One of them laughed excitedly, his expression somewhat ferocious, "Doctor Blade, this guy is too useless! He was put into the soaking pool, and he exploded before two minutes were up. Such a waste of materials!"
Upon closer inspection, the corpse's face was still recognizable. It was Wang Dazhi, who had just left!
