Chapter 083 Don’t Be a Human Being

A recent experimental subject that Zhang Yi was in charge of had made new progress in the gene fusion project. As the team leader specializing in studying this group of experimental subjects, he not only received the envy and jealousy of his colleagues, but was also called by Mr. Chen to be his assistant for half a day.

Thinking of the jealous gaze of his arch-rival Wu Weiwei, Zhang Yi wanted to hum a little tune.

In school, he and Wu Weiwei took turns to rank first or second in every exam.

After competing all the way until now, there is still no winner.

As long as he could be the first to make new progress in the project of fusing human genes with mutant genes, as long as he could be the first to research the "new evolved humans", he would be able to suppress Wu Weiwei and make her look at him with new eyes.

Wu Weiwei was originally on duty tonight, but the other party had a blind date in the evening, so she asked him to cover for her.

Generally speaking, there is nothing to do at night, so the person on duty just sleeps in the work area.

But Zhang Yi couldn't sleep today. He was observing the various values ​​of the new experimental subject of Wu Weiwei's team.

The physical data of this experimental subject is very strange.

Although he is a beast-attributed mutant, insect-attributed genes were detected in his body.

Wu Weiwei originally wanted to use this experimental subject to test her new method, but because of the experimental subject's special physique, Wu Weiwei used another experimental subject instead. As for this experimental subject, Wu Weiwei seemed to have new plans, but she had been keeping a close eye on it and not revealing any information to the outside world.

I don’t know what Wu Weiwei is planning. That woman has always been cunning and cunning.

Suddenly, the alarm bell in the catalyst room rang.

Another experimental subject died.

This kind of thing was too common, so Zhang Yi didn't take it seriously. He glanced at it casually and was surprised to find that the light of the most important experimental subject had gone out.

What's going on?

Zhang Yi's face changed drastically. He took the briefcase containing the extracted samples and walked quickly towards the catalyst room.

Most of the researchers are in Area 3, but there is a direct passage, so it doesn't take long to reach Area 1.

As soon as he entered the catalytic room, Zhang Yi glanced at the two catalytic room staff with cold eyes, and walked quickly towards the catalytic room where the experimental subject was located.

The catalyst chamber was filled with shredded flesh and blood.

It is as thick as paste, with no bone residue at all.

This is the most typical symptom of gene fusion failure, but how is it possible? The various values ​​of this experimental subject have always been stable.

Zhang Yi turned his head and looked at the staff in the catalysis room. "Did the experimental subject show any strange behavior before the explosion?"

"No?" Number Two was very nervous. He wanted the guy next to him to be discovered by the researcher, but he was also afraid that he would be the first one to be killed when he was discovered. "Just like a normal test subject, suddenly went crazy and exploded."

"He was in agony before he died." Jiang He stepped forward and described, "He kept biting his buttocks. Before his body exploded, his buttocks were torn and bloody."

When Number Two heard Jiang He talking, he felt unwell. His heartbeat quickened and his palms were full of sweat due to nervousness.

Fortunately, Zhang Yi ignored them.

He handed the box to Jiang He.

This is the box for collecting samples. Most researchers dislike the pus-like flesh and blood in the catalysis room, so they will hand the collection box to the staff in the catalysis room, and the staff will collect the samples on their behalf.

But the other party was just an experimental subject, so how could he understand anything about collecting? Number Two immediately reached out to intercept the collection box.

Zhang Yi hated those staff members who were scheming and trying to gain attention the most. He stared at them coldly and handed the collection box to Jiang He.

Jiang He went to pick up the collection box, and the box slipped when it fell into her hands.

Before the box fell to the ground, Jiang He slammed his hands on Zhang Yi's solar plexus. When the opponent was dizzy, he instantly dislocated the opponent's jaw joint and the wrist joints of both hands.

Number Two collapsed on the ground, unable to cry.

What the experimental subject did to Zhang Yi, he had done to him before.

Although he is very panicked and scared now, he feels that his career is about to end before it even begins.

But when he saw Zhang Yi's nose and tears streaming down his face, he felt an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart.

Zhang Yi is a rising star among researchers, and it is said that he is one of Mr. Chen's chosen successors.

Even such a talented researcher was attacked by the experimental subjects, with snot and tears flying like him. In comparison, he, a small staff member, didn't seem to be that miserable?

Zhang Yi had fallen to the ground and tried to get up several times but failed. Jiang He squatted down and checked his equipment.

The researcher also has a bracelet on his wrist, but it looks more advanced than the staff's bracelet.

No lethal weapons were found on him, so Jiang He lifted him up by his shoulders and looked at No. 2.

Strangely, Number Two actually understood Jiang He's idea. He immediately opened the collection box, entered the catalytic chamber, collected the body sample of the experimental subject, and then closed it and handed it to Jiang He.

Jiang He took the collection box and knocked No. 2 unconscious to the ground with it.

She held the collection box in one hand and Zhang Yi in the other and walked towards the other side.

At the end, there was a door. Jiang He picked up Zhang Yi and pressed him on the electronic scanner on the door.

Pupil scan passed.

Facial recognition passed.

But she waited for a few breaths, but the door didn't open.

Little A reminded her, "Your Majesty, his heart is beating too fast."

Jiang He's mind shuddered.

There was a slight "squeak" sound beside him, and Zhang Yi's face changed instantly. He looked at Jiang He and made an unclear sound.

Jiang He was about to reconnect his lower jaw when she saw a secret door open on the side. A white flesh worm jumped out of the secret door and started to bite her.

It is called a flesh worm because it is white all over and looks very similar to a silkworm. Its body is round and not only taller than Jiang He, but also has a diameter of at least two feet.

Although it was fat and fleshy, it was extremely fast. It pounced and headed straight for Jiang He.

Jiang He took two steps back, fixed Zhang Yi's jaw, and punched the worm's head.

But when her fist touched the flesh worm, a sense of danger came over her, and she quickly retracted her fist. In an instant, many round mouths appeared on the flesh worm's body, and the teeth in its mouths were densely packed like saw teeth.

Seeing Jiang He retreat, the fleshworm pounced on Jiang He again.

Jiang He tried to hit the parts of it where there was no mouth, but when her hand got closer, mouths appeared in those places.

She picked up the collection box in her hand and hit the meat worm. The meat worm's mouth looked not even as big as a fist, but when the collection box hit it, its mouth suddenly became bigger and swallowed the collection box in one gulp. Like a blender, it chewed the collection box into pieces and ate it.

This thing has mouths all over it, so I need a weapon that can handle it.

Jiang He carried Zhang Yi and rushed forward, running wildly in the corridor surrounded by catalyst rooms.

Zhang Yi was taller than her. She grabbed his shoulders and ran wildly, dragging him on the ground like a sack.

"Who are you?" Although Zhang Yi looked painful, he did not forget to ask about Jiang He's identity at this time.

Jiang He: "If you keep talking nonsense, I'll shut you up forever."

She grabbed the staff chair and threw it at the fleshworm that was chasing her from behind. Although this thing had no legs, it ran as fast as a snake.

The chair hit it, and its whole body opened up into a big mouth and swallowed the chair in one gulp.

“Crack, crack…”

The sound of chewing a chair came from behind her, and from the sound she could tell that the other person was getting closer and closer.

Jiang He said to Zhang Yi, "I will break your neck before I die."

Zhang Yi: "It's no use threatening me. Security has you locked in. Even if you kill me, you can't get out of here."

Jiang He didn't expect that this fleshworm was the security guard in the laboratory. She said speechlessly, "Okay."

As soon as he finished speaking, he picked up Zhang Yi and threw him at the security guard.

Before Zhang Yi could react, his leg had already poked into the security guard's mouth.

The security guards won't hurt him. These flesh worms were implanted with a genetic chain that prevents them from harming staff during their initial breeding.

But he never thought of poking his foot into the security guard's mouth to test it.

At this moment, his face turned pale and his scream was stuck in his throat, as if fate was strangling him and he couldn't make a sound.

Jiang He continued to run forward, and after a few steps, he turned around and threw Zhang Yi towards the security guard.

The security guard stared at Jiang He with eyes that became wider and wider. Several times his teeth clattered as he was about to bite, but he had to stop because of Zhang Yi.

The repeated sudden braking made it more and more irritable, and it let out one low growl after another.

Zhang Yi was completely paralyzed, completely unable to control himself. He said to Jiang He in a voice that sounded like he was about to cry, "Don't use me to hit the security guards again. They get angry easily."

Jiang He: "What would an angry security guard do?"

Zhang Yi's leg was smashed into the security guard's mouth again. He noticed the security guard drooling and cried out, "It's going to lose control and eat me!"

Compared to his almost collapsed mood, Jiang He was very calm: "Oh."

Zhang Yi heard the hidden meaning from her perfunctory voice: What does it have to do with me if you were eaten by the security guard?

"Get out of here!" Zhang Yi glanced at the security guard's red eyes and shouted, "Stop irritating it."

Jiang He pulled him forward and continued running, "How do we leave?"

Zhang Yi realized after she asked this question that when the security guard was awake, the doors of all passages were automatically locked. Only when the security guard fell asleep again would the doors return to normal.

But this security guard has already locked onto Jiang He, and it will only fall asleep after eating Jiang He.

"It's over, it's over. We can't leave at all."

Jiang He listened to his voice, which was on the verge of collapse, and asked, "What are the security guards' weaknesses?"

She deliberately kept such a close distance from the security guard, and used Zhang Yi to irritate the security guard from time to time, letting him feel the horror of jumping back and forth on the line of death up close, all for this moment's problem.

Zhang Yi said in despair, "The security guard has no weaknesses. Even those deformed beasts are eaten by it as snacks. The security guard was developed by Mr. Chen himself and has no weaknesses."

Jiang He understood the key point he was talking about. The security system had no weaknesses because it was made by Mr. Chen himself.

These people all respect Mr. Chen very much.

But can a researcher who disregards humanity for the sake of research resist studying aberrations without weaknesses?

"Don't talk about such a good experimental subject. You haven't tried to study it yourself." Jiang He asked him coldly, "The security guard has no weaknesses. Is this a conclusion you came to after studying it, or is it just unfounded and just following the crowd?"

As a researcher who bases everything on theory and practice, the worst thing I can do is to blindly follow others.

Zhang Yi's face stiffened for a moment.

He thought of Wu Weiwei, the person he hated the most. One day, she asked him in the tea room like a treasure if he wanted to know the security guard's weakness.

At that time, he sneered and responded very affirmatively: Security guards have no weaknesses.

"Security has no weaknesses" is written in the employee handbook. All staff in the laboratory are familiar with the employee handbook, and this sentence is almost engraved in their minds.

Jiang He picked him up again and threw him at the security guard who was chasing them. Zhang Yi hurriedly shouted, "Corrosion! The security guard should be afraid of being corroded by sulfuric acid."

Any carbon-based life form is not afraid of being corroded by sulfuric acid.

Jiang He was not disappointed with his bizarre response and simply asked, "Where is the sulfuric acid?"

A laboratory studying thermal weapons might not be able to find sulfur or sulfuric acid, but in a laboratory studying genes, sulfuric acid will never appear.

Sure enough, Zhang Yi was also stunned.

Jiang He carried Zhang Yi into an empty catalyst room.

She did not close the glass door casually, and the security guard following behind her immediately rushed into the glass room.

The moment it rushed in, Jiang He grabbed Zhang Yi and rolled out, closing the door of the catalyst room.

The catalyst chamber senses the presence of a distorted object, the door automatically locks, and the catalyst is turned on.

Zhang Yi's legs were trembling and weak. Jiang He loosened his grip on his shoulders and he sat down softly on the ground.

"It's useless. The security device developed by Mr. Chen has no effect on it."

Jiang He stared calmly at the furious security guard in the catalyst room and said calmly, "The door of the catalyst room automatically locked after it entered. After it hit the glass wall, an electric current appeared and knocked it unconscious."

Her voice was flat, but Zhang Yi could hear the contempt in her words.

He regarded the security device developed by Mr. Chen as a perfect product, but now, the Catalysis Room classified it as a mutant, and it was no different from those experimental subjects.

He tried to hold on to his belief, "Even if it's catalyzed, a security guard is still a security guard."

Jiang He sneered.

"You, what are you laughing at?"

Jiang He: "I bet it will explode soon."

Zhang Yi: "Impossible..."

Before he could finish his words, there was a "bang" in the catalyst room. The security guard exploded after the catalyst was turned on.

The flesh and blood were like mud, without any bone residue.

Just like those test subjects that exploded.

Zhang Yi's teeth were chattering and his eyeballs were about to pop out. At this moment, the shock suppressed all the fear in his heart.

"You, how did you know that? Why do you know the security guard's weakness? Who are you?"

Jiang He grabbed his shoulders and pulled him to the door like a garbage bag, "Open the door."

Zhang Yi summoned up the courage to ask, "You, what is your purpose?"

Jiang He: "Open the door, or I'll lock you in the catalyst room."

"I'm a researcher, and the Catalysis Room can identify me."

Jiang He sneered: "You want to try?"

She dragged Zhang Yi to turn around, and Zhang Yi was frightened and said quickly, "I'll open the door."

He stood in front of the recognition device.

Pupil scan, facial scan, and physical signs were normal.

The door clicked open.

Jiang He discovered that behind this door was a two-way passage, and a small four-wheeled vehicle was waiting at the entrance.

She carried Zhang Yi and squeezed into one of the four-wheeled vehicles. Under her cold gaze, Zhang Yi started the driverless car.

Then, as if remembering something, he asked Jiang He, "Where are you going?"

Jiang He: "Don't you know that? Why are you talking nonsense?"

Zhang Yi felt like trembling when she stared at him, and quickly set District 3 as his destination.

"You, what is your purpose? Are you from outside?"

He thought Jiang He was one of those people outside the training camp who had sneaked into the laboratory by pretending to be a staff member.

Seeing that Jiang He didn't answer, he asked again: "Why do you know that the security guard will self-destruct in the catalyst room?"

Not even catalyzed for a few minutes.

"Carbon-based organisms can be catalyzed." Jiang He glanced at him, "You can too."

"Impossible, only aberrations can do that."

Jiang He: "Just take off your bracelet and you'll be fine."

She added, "The catalytic chamber didn't recognize you because your wristband categorized you as a staff member."

Although Jiang He answered seriously, she was not sure, it was just a guess.

But people should be brave enough to try. She interrupted Zhang Yi who was about to speak and said, "Don't say it's impossible. Try it before you respond."

Zhang Yi swallowed his questioning words back into his stomach.

He didn't believe it, but the other party's words were so convincing that he began to doubt himself.

Jiang He asked him, "Where does Mr. Chen live?"

"Are you looking for Mr. Chen?" Zhang Yi met the other person's cold glare and realized that he was talking nonsense again. He quickly replied, "Mr. Chen has an apartment in the dormitory building, but he rarely lives there. Most of the time he lives in the laboratory. There is a one-bedroom apartment next to his laboratory that is specially designed for him to live in."

The laboratory staff have a dormitory building, and Mr. Chen has his own independent laboratory.

Jiang He continued to ask: "What is Mr. Chen's ability?"

"Ability?" Zhang Yi said hurriedly, "When working in the laboratory, you need to take inhibitors to suppress your ability."

Jiang He finally understood why the four staff members he met were weaker than the last.

"Why suppress abilities?"

"The manifestation of our abilities will affect our brains. For us researchers, having a strong brain is the most important thing."

"Iron Head Kung Fu? Can't be smashed?"

Zhang Yi heard the other party's sarcasm, but he did not dare to refute due to the lack of force.

Jiang He: "Mr. Chen is also taking inhibitors like you guys?"

"That's for sure." Zhang Yi said, "Every staff member in the laboratory must get vaccinated. If you don't, you are not qualified to enter here."

Jiang He, "Did the warden perform genetic modification in the laboratory?"

Her question was too out of the ordinary, but Zhang Yi happened to know it. "Yes, it was a gene chain specially made for her by Mr. Chen."

Jiang He: "Where's Captain Xiao?"

Zhang Yi shook his head: "Captain Xiao has never been to the laboratory."

He added, "He is in charge of security in the prison and does not have permission to come to the laboratory."

Jiang He smiled. This was clearly an excuse used by a superior to deceive his subordinates, but the person in front of him did not have any doubts.

"What do you think of the experimental subjects?"

Speaking of experimental subjects, Zhang Yi's eyes showed disdain. "Every experimental subject is a pest to society. Only the laboratory can reflect their value."

The driverless car arrives at its destination.

Jiang He carried Zhang Yi out of the car.

Zhang Yi's arms drooped, and every time he moved, it hurt. He probably felt that he and the other party had developed a rapport after chatting for so long, so he pleaded, "Can you reattach my wrists? Don't worry, I absolutely won't..."

Jiang He interrupted him, "I'm worried."

Zhang Yi clearly felt that the other party was in a bad mood at the moment, as if he had angered him, but he didn't say anything.

The moment the door opened, Zhang Yi dodged and a security guard rushed out from behind the door, with a big mouth opening from the abdomen to the head, and this mouth tightly covered Jiang He.

Jiang He met Zhang Yi's evasive gaze and remembered what he had said before: she would be doomed if she was targeted by the security guards. She then understood that being targeted by one security guard meant being targeted by all the security guards.

These security guards have interconnected thought processes.

Jiang He's tentacles popped out just as the security guard's mouth opened to swallow her.

The tentacles were completely insignificant in front of the security guard, they were too small, and Zhang Yi, who was standing behind the security guard, didn't even see the tentacles appear.

In just a blink of an eye, he found that the security guard in front of him fell to the ground with a thud.

It felt like a piece of my brain had been dug out, and only the part of my body where my brain was bleeding was bleeding.

He stared at Jiang He in shock, so frightened that he couldn't even utter a complete sound.

Jiang He kicked the security guard on the ground and asked him, "How many security guards are there in Area 3?"

"No, I don't know." Zhang Yi shook his head. Even he felt that this answer sounded insincere, and he quickly added, "At least five, but there may be more. Many security guards are sleeping inside the wall. If they don't show up, we won't know it exists."

Jiang He was very satisfied with his current attitude. He lifted him up by the shoulders and said, "Lead the way to where the experimental subjects are being held."

"Experimental subject?"

Zhang Yi was a little confused. He thought the other party came to the laboratory to steal their research results, but the other party never mentioned the research data from beginning to end, and now he wanted to see the experimental subjects.

What exactly do you want to do?

Jiang He walked beside him, secretly memorizing the surrounding routes in his mind, and asked him, "Have any original experimental subjects been sent to the laboratory recently?"

"Yes, quite a lot." There are dozens of laboratories of all sizes in District 3. Zhang Yi led Jiang He to search the laboratories one by one.

Most laboratories are equipped with several glass rooms to house experimental subjects.

The experimental subjects in the laboratory are even more hideous, and some of them are made up of several tissues.

Even Jiang He, who was used to witnessing slaughter, couldn't bear to watch. "You researchers are such inhumane people."

"We're doing this for the future of humanity," Zhang Yi argued confidently. "Besides, these experimental subjects are all heinous criminals. They deserve death more than death. Wouldn't it be better to use them to contribute to humanity?"

"I think too highly of you," Jiang He said coldly, "You're not inhuman, you're not human at all. The criminals are guilty of the most heinous crimes, and you're all so heartless and insane, you're all the same. It's disgusting."

Her eyes blurred, and another security guard rushed out from the wall next to her, opening his mouth wide at her.

Zhang Yi was so frightened that he slipped.

Since he entered the laboratory, he has never encountered any outsider breaking in, and he never thought that this intruder would not only kidnap him, but also dare to challenge the security guard.

This time he saw Jiang He's tentacles.

The security guard appeared quickly, but the tentacles were even faster. The long tentacles pierced into the security guard's brain and sucked out his brain in an instant.

Although these security guards are ugly and have no crystal cores, their brains are very suitable for tentacles.

When Zhang Yi saw Jiang He's tentacles, his eyes widened.

He seemed to recognize these tentacles, with a look of disbelief on his face, "How is it possible? Who are you?"
