The Lou family's five-star hotel is named Yue Ting.

It is a century-old hotel with a long history.

So the building isn't very tall, only seven floors.

Each room has a unique style of decoration and furnishing, dedicated to providing guests with a distinguished and comfortable experience.

In the post-apocalyptic world, guests who can stay in hotels are either rich, powerful, or have knowledge and skills.

In short, there must be at least one of the three.

Mu Zhou, the guest staying in room 308, possessed all three qualities.

Before the apocalypse, Mu Zhou was a biological scientist. After the apocalypse, he awakened the teleportation ability of the spatial system.

He is currently at the third level, ninth layer, and is only one step away from breaking through to the fourth level, becoming one of the very few top experts in the world.

Although he became a superhuman, he did not forget his old ways. In fact, because the post-apocalyptic environment was more "open," he became even more outrageous.

They often kidnapped people from outside and used them for human experiments.

He has been conducting an experiment for several years, which is to artificially create people with superpowers.

How is it manufactured?

They would dig out the crystal core from the body of a strange beast or the spiritual seed from the brain of a superhuman and force them to swallow it.

However, over the years, the experiment has not made much progress.

There are only three possible outcomes for ordinary people who swallow crystal cores or spirit seeds.

They would either be burst apart by the energy of the crystal core or the spirit seed, blown to pieces and left with no trace of their bodies.

They either mutate into zombies, losing all emotions and reason, and become bloodthirsty, flesh-eating monsters.

Or, they might mutate into half-human, half-beast monsters, extremely aggressive, lacking in rationality, and with short lifespans.

They are completely useless to him.

Not long ago, Mu Zhou watched helplessly as one of the people he had captured exploded after swallowing a crystal core.

His temper flared up too; he bit his fingers and paced back and forth in the room, muttering to himself:

"It failed again and again. Where did things go wrong?"

As he spun around, he activated his supernatural ability, teleporting back and forth between different places.

This is one of his ways of relaxing.

Perhaps looking at other scenery will inspire him with new ideas.

I accidentally teleported to an unfamiliar room.

Just as Mu Zhou was about to leave, the child playing alone on the bed seemed to notice his presence and suddenly looked up at him.

The child was incredibly cute, with eyes as bright and sparkling as ripe purple grapes.

As he stared blankly at him, a sudden inspiration flashed in Mu Zhou's mind.

He has always used adults in his experiments because he subconsciously believes that adults are physically stronger and better able to withstand the energy of the crystal core.

But upon seeing the child, he suddenly realized that his thinking had gone astray.

In fact, children have greater potential for life!

Why didn't he think of using children for experiments?

Mu Zhou immediately took the child back.

Strangely enough, when he took the child away, the child neither cried nor made a fuss, but obediently nestled on his shoulder.

Mu Zhou felt a little sorry for him and patted his head, saying, "I hope you can persevere."

The child looked at him, his dark, bright eyes reflecting his face like a mirror.

Mu Zhou was shocked to realize that his image had become so terrible without him noticing.

His hair was a mess, and his beard covered half his face.

His eyes were bloodshot.

Her skin was dull and sallow.

After this experiment is over, he needs to take a good shower and tidy himself up.

Mu Zhou carried the child to the laboratory and placed him on the bed designated for experimental subjects.

Seeing how well-behaved the child was, Mu Zhou didn't tie him up. "Be a good boy, and Uncle will find you some candy."

He turned around and went to get the marked crystal nuclei from the drawer.

When she turned around again, the bed was empty; the child was gone.

Mu Zhou blinked, bent down to look under the bed, but didn't see it.

"He deliberately pretended to be well-behaved to lower my guard, and then ran away as soon as I looked away."

"Hehe, this child looks only three or four years old, yet he's so smart. I suddenly have even more confidence in this experiment!"

"Little baby, come out quickly, Uncle will give you candy."

"Stop hiding, Uncle has already seen you."

"It's not in the closet, it's not behind the shelf, it's behind the curtains—still not there. Where did that little devil hide?"

The reason he didn't suspect the child had already opened the door and escaped was naturally because he had modified the door to use a dual verification system of fingerprint and iris scan.

Both inside and outside.

In other words, only he can open the door.

This is also to prevent others from sneaking in when he's not around.

The entire room is no less than 100 square meters in size and was originally divided into multiple functional areas such as bedroom, study, living room, and kitchen.

However, after he moved in, he made a major renovation to the room.

Now, apart from the bedrooms, the rest of the space has been converted into laboratories and warehouses.

The laboratory is filled with various experimental instruments, as well as floor-to-ceiling storage cabinets or shelves.

Now, these cabinets and shelves have become obstacles for him to find the child.

After searching for a long time, Mu Zhou was panting heavily, leaning against the cabinet and breathing heavily.

As a scientist who rarely goes out and focuses on conducting experiments, his physical condition is far inferior to that of the average person.

After the apocalypse, he awakened the ability to teleport, and he could go anywhere with just a thought, rarely even walking.

I don't exercise regularly, and my physical condition is getting worse and worse.

Right now, I'm playing hide-and-seek with a kid, and I'm sweating buckets.
