"Oh, sister-in-law, your words are so pointed," Yu Zhen retorted. "I was just using divergent thinking."

"Shh." Zhou Siyu put her index finger to her lips and whispered seriously, "Be careful not to wake them up~"

"Hey, what's the big deal... Holy crap!" Yu Zhen glanced at it nonchalantly, then jumped back in fright, yelling, "Oh my god, a monster!"

"Look at you, you coward."

Zhou Siyu was quite pleased with himself. He walked to the tall glass cabinet, reached out and picked up a specimen. "What's there to be afraid of? They're just inanimate objects."

The creature inside the specimen box was quite peculiar; it was an octopus with more than thirty legs, and most frighteningly, it also had a wrinkled human face.

What Yu Zhen saw was a large glass culture tank, about the height of two people, next to the glass cabinet. Two iron chains, as thick as a forearm, hung down from the lid and were tightly wrapped around the creature inside the tank.

The contents of the jar were already swollen from being soaked in water, with the skin floating in the green water. Most of the body had lost its tissue covering it, leaving only a skeleton.

Zhou Siyu used the system to make a preliminary reconstruction. The thing's skull was similar in height to a human's, except that two more cervical vertebrae and two more heads grew from the cervical vertebrae. It had four hands and four legs.

For Zhou Siyu, who had conducted many years of experiments and dissected countless corpses, these were all trivial matters.

"Wow, there are more over here!"

Yu Zhen wished she could cling to Zhou Siyu's back, too frightened by the surrounding things to open her eyes.

What are all these things?!

A dog with many eyes, a bird without feet or a beak, a toad covered in hands, a person with a tail and eight hands and eight feet like a spider, and a lion with a human head...

Everyone says that three-legged toads are hard to find, but here there are not only many three-legged toads, but also strange things with snake heads and fish tails, monkeys with blue faces and fangs and eyes on their backs, and many other strange-looking things.

If nothing unexpected happens, this room is full of these mutated creatures.

Good heavens, that's terrifying!

Make sure to wash your eyes after you get out, otherwise you'll have nightmares.

"According to records, King Aitulan was a person who believed in ghosts and gods very much, and was obsessed with researching ways to make people live forever and bring the dead back to life." Zhou Siyu shone a searchlight and looked around at everything, his cold voice echoing in the empty space, "He firmly believed that the footless bird, wolf fox, phoenix, hydra and other mythical creatures existed. He called himself the master of the world and the king of the stars, and used every means to find divine beasts to guard his territory."

"Huh? Aren't these the experiments he conducted to resurrect his beloved queen?"

Yu Zhen turned his head. Although he admired such unwavering love until death, he still despised this disregard for life.

No one is more noble than anyone else, and no one has the right to deprive another of their right to live for their own selfish desires.

“Perhaps he did want to revive the queen at first, but people change.” Zhou Siyu sneered. “Especially after he gained power, his goal changed from reviving his lover to building a war machine to maintain his tyrannical rule.”

The Etolan Empire possesses highly advanced genetic technology, capable of deconstructing genes and combining fragmented gene chains with different species to give their offspring certain traits superior to those of ordinary species.

"How can there be such a wicked person in this world? It's simply outrageous! What did the Queen do wrong to sacrifice her reputation for his selfish desires?" Yu Zhen spat. "Luckily, she was killed in the end, so it can be considered that evil has its retribution."

“If the third king had made changes, perhaps everything would have been different.” Zhou Siyu raised an eyebrow. “At least the Etolan Empire wouldn’t have perished so quickly.”

"Tch, like begets like, and a rat's son knows how to dig holes. This family is full of bad people, a whole bunch of scoundrels."

"Alright, there's no use cursing now, it'll only hurt your health." Zhou Siyu patted his arm. "But I'm very curious, how did the Third King kill the Second King?"

"Hey, why bother with all this research? Let's hurry up and see if there's a way to deal with the Kao virus. If not, we'll have to go to the next place."

“That’s right.” Zhou Siyu held up her flashlight and looked around, then pointed to a row of glass cabinets next to her. “You look over there, I’ll look over here.”

"No, sister-in-law, let's go together." Yu Zhen clung to Zhou Siyu like a koala. "I'm scared..."

"Milk-flavored steamed bun will be fine with you." Zhou Siyu patted him and pulled him off her without any room for argument. "Besides, didn't you just say you wanted to do something for Yu Wei? Why are you scared of this little difficulty?"

"I...I...Aaaaaah, I'll give it my all!"

Yu Zhen clenched his fists tightly, with an expression of resignation to his fate.

"Alright, go quickly. If you're really scared, you can talk to me. We're not far apart."

To be honest, Zhou Siyu was very envious of the relationship between the two cousins. They were like a family, caring for, helping and supporting each other.

Fortunately, it seems he also has such a warm family. Yu Wei is a good partner and will definitely be a good father. They will have a very warm and happy family.

"Clang!"

The sound of shattering glass rang out. Zhou Siyu turned around and glanced at Yu Zhen, who was raising his hand apologetically, "Sorry, sorry, my hand slipped..."

"Back off!"

Milk-flavored steamed bun was faster than Zhou Siyu, and with a sudden pounce, it knocked Yu Zhen aside.

The green water on the ground evaporated rapidly, turning into white mist that spread outwards. In just a few seconds, the entire can of water disappeared.
