A sense of doubt began to spread. Under E01's puzzled gaze, the rotten brain tissue on the ground began to reassemble at a terrifying speed, followed by bones and blood vessels. They were born in the void, starting from the skull and going all the way to the jaw, forming a bloody and mangled human face.

E01 stood up. This situation was different from the past, making it difficult for him to decide whether to attack or stay put.

The face that regenerated from the blood twitched and twisted, the shattered skin glued back to its original place, the bridge of the nose and cartilage rose, and then the eye sockets.

Finally, two emotionless eyes emerged from the void, turned a few times, and fixed their gaze on E01.

"Unrestricted attacks are now permitted."

Under the pale light, the long-awaited instructions finally appeared.

Without hesitation, E01 stretched and contracted its body like a spring, suddenly transforming into a black shadow in the air and rushing towards He Yu.

However, the next second, he found himself in front of a cliff.

At the top of the cliff, there was only a black moon.

...

January 25, 08:21.

The lengthy testing report and experimental records have finally come to an end. Lu Jin has successfully resolved the incident report regarding the unexpected death of E01-monkey due to the Group C characteristic experiment.

He felt he should ask Yu Yu for a raise, since he had been cleaning up all the messes himself, which was really too much of a burden.

I'm hungry.

The control room was brightly lit. He Yu lay on the experimental table, turned his head and stared at him expressionlessly, saying, "Give me some food as a reward. If you die in the future, I will burn some money for you."

"Just bear with it. Going hungry for a few meals is the least of your worries. Even if you accidentally killed E01, you'll still be judged by the Tribunal." Lu Jin didn't even look up, irritably pulling out a cigarette from his pocket, only to discover that his lighter seemed to have been stolen.

“One thing at a time, you forced me to participate in this test.”

"As long as it's your fault, those bastards in the adjudication department don't care about anything else." Lu Jin sighed. He should have known that the people Yu Yu had dumped on him were all hot potatoes. "Listen, I'm cleaning up your mess right now, so shut up and go to sleep."

“Okay, I think you have a point.” He Yu laughed, and the next instant, a numb head grew from the back of his neck—it was E01-Ape: “Monkey, can you say a good word for me?”

“I can vouch for him. I’m not actually dead. Come and see for yourself.”

“You fucking…” Lu Jin rubbed his forehead, feeling extremely pained: “You’re a madman.”

He began to miss the coward he used to be.
