Chapter 521 Witness
"Come in!"
Jing Wenbin's voice suddenly came from inside the door.
The staff immediately opened the door and motioned Xia Yan to go in.
She saw Jing Wenbin standing in front of an elevator, and the word "Office" was indeed written on the door...
There were no floor buttons in the elevator. After everyone came in, Jing Wenbin pressed his thumb on the scanner. A red light flashed and the elevator went up.
Xia Yan's gaze gradually moved downwards, landing on the staff member's hands hidden in the protective suit.
Don’t they usually go up and down the stairs?
How can I scan my fingerprint when it’s wrapped so tightly?
Before she could figure out what was going on, the elevator stopped and a light brighter than the one downstairs shone in her face, blinding her eyes. At the same time, a smell of alcohol rushed over.
Alarm bells rang in Xia Yan's mind. He held his breath quickly, took out a gas mask from the system grid and put it on his face.
"Don't worry, it's just normal—"
Jing Wenbin's eyes blurred, and he saw that she was already armed, and his mouth twitched in shock.
"——It's a normal practice, not targeting certain people." He still finished the sentence.
"It's okay, I'm used to being on guard, not just against you." Xia Yan's muffled voice penetrated the thick gas mask and entered his ears without missing a word.
Jing Wenbin calmed down and said, "Let's go, the experimental sample is just ahead."
He was referring to the largest laboratory in the center of the field.
Xia Yan saw the largest number of recorders gathered outside and the longest operating table.
When she got closer, she found that everything was worse than she had imagined.
The machinery in the room was like a huge monster, surrounding the experimental subject tied to the bed. Six infusion tubes were inserted into the limbs, neck and forehead, and there was a tube twice as thick as the experimenter's that went straight into the heart.
The bright red liquid flowed along the pipe, forming a spider-web-like bridge in the air, and the end point was a huge special machine.
After the blood flows into it, it is filtered and precipitated, and then rushes into the thickest pipes forcefully, replacing the heart to transfuse blood to the whole body.
Under the needle-tip-sized tube next to the blood inlet of the machine, a drop of light golden liquid was gathering extremely slowly. Further down, a light layer of gold appeared on the bottom of the test tube.
"Is this...?" Xia Yan pounced on the glass, staring at the drop of liquid.
"Yes." Jing Wenbin looked at the machine with a mad look in his eyes. "It's truly magnificent, isn't it? No matter how many times I see this scene, my heart is always filled with emotion! This is simply the fifth greatest invention of mankind! It can be called a creation of the world!"
He suddenly reached out and grabbed Xia Yan's arm, and said excitedly: "Come, I want you to witness a moment with your own eyes."
Xia Yan struggled to break free and rolled his eyes fiercely: "Don't do it, just go, I'll follow."
Jing Wenbin felt like he was poured with a bucket of cold water, but his heart seemed to be burning with magma, and in just a moment he was full of passion again, "Okay, come with me!"
This floor was also filled with laboratories. Jing Wenbin walked into one of them and said to the staff, "Use the minimum dose."
The staff member was stunned: "But he can't bear this concentration——"
"Do as I say!" Jing Wenbin glared.
"Okay." The staff member did not dare to hesitate and took out a 0.5 ml light golden injection from the password box and held it in his hand.
Wait for your colleague to open the door and then slip in.
Xia Yan saw the man inside wandering around aimlessly, but when he heard the noise, he found the right direction and pounced over. Unfortunately, he was greeted by two strong psychics.
He was held up, but he stretched his head back as hard as he could, looking at the outside world with eyes full of pain and longing.
The moment the door closed, a weak voice said, "Save me!"
Jing Wenbin also heard it, and his first action was to turn his head to observe the changes in Xia Yan's expression.
Xia Yan was a little annoyed, "Why are you always staring at me for no reason?!"
Jing Wenbin didn't hide it, and said with a casual smile: "I'm observing whether you have the idea of saving him."
"You're very honest, so I'll learn from you once—not now, but if the person I want dies before I hand him over to me, don't worry, I'll take action before Chu Wanfu does, and level your place. I'll go and become the hero who saves the world, and be remembered for eternity."
This was not a difficult task for Xia Yan, but the problem was that she just wanted to wait until this matter was over and then wander around, waiting for the final task to be completed.
She just wanted to give up and didn't want to work hard, so it would be most appropriate to leave this matter to Chu Wanfu.
Of course, Jing Wenbin couldn't know these words.
Xia Yan put on a deadpan expression that only experts have, and let him guess, it would tire him to death.
In the laboratory, the experimental subject was fixed on the bed. The staff took out the injection and the sharp needle got stuck when it was about to pierce the blood vessel. He used all his strength to force it in.
Light golden liquid was sent into the body.
Those people immediately packed up their things and left.
The man slowly sat up and stared at their fleeing figures in a daze.
He slid off the bed, leaned against the bed legs, half-opened his mouth and pretended to cry, but he squeezed until his eyes were red, but not a single tear came out.
The next moment, his whole body suddenly twitched, his limbs bent to inhuman angles, and he stood upside down like a spider, his body segmented into sections.
Seeing this, Jing Wenbin excitedly said, "It's almost here. The most amazing moment is about to unfold before everyone!!"
At this moment, the experimental subject fell to the ground with a bang, and his limbs spread out as if he had lost control. First, a flame rose from the fingertips, and then countless tiny fire spots emerged from the fingers, palms, and forearms.
But soon all the seedlings connected into a line, and with a bang, the fire grew stronger. Then the fire started on his toes, crawled up along the soles of his feet to his ankles, and then to his calves.
The experiment was like a cracked porcelain, the flames easily climbed out and rose, then grew stronger and stronger.
It took only six seconds for the flames to appear and spread all over his body. Under the bright firelight, Xia Yan saw him blink and the corners of his mouth seemed to twitch upwards.
It was as if in that warm light, he saw his family members whom he once worried about so much.
"See? His ability is fire-based. With the help of the potion, he skipped levels and turned into magma! Isn't that amazing?! Isn't this all magical?!"
Jing Wenbin talked to himself and even applauded himself at the end.
"The first discovery was a miracle. Later, we slowly figured out a set of rules that might work, such as slowly building up tolerance, then gradually increasing the dosage, and ultimately achieving qualitative change through quantitative change, thus achieving supernatural power regeneration!"
This time, after he finished speaking, there was thunderous applause all around.
The eyes of those staff members whose faces could not be seen were filled with the same enthusiasm as Jing Wenbin. They had put in so much effort and sweat for a common goal.
This matter can only succeed, not fail!
Jing Wenbin looked at Xia Yan, who had walked away without him noticing, and stroked his pounding heart with his right hand.
This is the final step, he thought.
He shouted, "Boss Xia, join us! Let's become the most awesome people together!"
