Chapter 84 It's His Fate

There is a particularly large specimen mounted in glass on one wall of Mr. Chen's office.

The specimen had countless tentacles. Zhang Yi reported that he had been to Mr. Chen's office that day, and it was also that time that he saw the tentacles in the glass up close.

Many of his colleagues have also been to Mr. Chen's office, but out of fear, they dare not look around or walk around.

Later, when I talked about it with my colleagues, I found that most of them had never noticed the specimens in Mr. Chen's office.

A small number of colleagues also noticed it, but that was Mr. Chen's office. Even if they were curious, they didn't dare to look too much, let alone go over to take a closer look.

Zhang Yi was able to observe the specimens up close, all because of Wu Weiwei.

He had never seen such a specimen before. Although he was curious, he didn't dare to ask or look at it any further.

Wu Weiwei, who was standing beside him, asked, "Mr. Chen, what kind of aberration is this?"

"Aberration?" Mr. Chen, sitting behind his chair, looked up and followed Wu Weiwei's gaze. "What kind of aberration do you think she is?"

Wu Weiwei then walked around the specimens openly. She had always been bold, and on her first visit to Mr. Chen's office, she dared to ask questions and walk around freely. Fortunately, her questions even encouraged Zhang Yi to get closer and take a look at the specimens.

Wu Weiwei asked, "Is it a distorted form of the marine octopus?"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she denied it, "No, no, no, it doesn't look like a marine aberration. Let me take a closer look."

Just as she lowered her head and moved closer to the glass.

The contact that was only separated from her by glass suddenly opened, revealing a round mouth with densely packed white teeth.

The teeth are arranged around the mouth like saw teeth.

Wu Weiwei screamed in fright and fell to the ground. Even Zhang Yi, who was beside her, was frightened and stepped back.

But the tentacle just opened its mouth and hit the glass, then fell silent again.

Wu Weiwei asked Mr. Chen, "Is this aberration still alive?"

"Of course." Mr. Chen mentioned the distortion in the glass with great pride. "I don't keep dead things."

Wu Weiwei: "I've never seen anything like this before."

Mr. Chen spread his hands and said, "Congratulations, now you see it."

…

After hearing what Zhang Yi said, Jiang He finally let go of the hand that was holding the other person's neck.

Zhang Yi breathed a sigh of relief and stammered, "I, I told you everything I know."

Please don't kill me!

Jiang He: "Where is Mr. Chen's office?"

"At the end of the laboratory." Zhang Yi pointed ahead. The laboratories and offices around her were connected together, and she couldn't even see the end with her eyesight.

She asked, "How far?"

"It's a bit far." Zhang Yi's words were interrupted by another security guard who rushed out.

The tentacles were extremely satisfied with this surprise takeaway that was delivered to the door. Several tentacles sucked up the security guard's brains as quickly as possible, burped towards Zhang Yi with their mouths open, and shrank back in Zhang Yi's shocked and frightened gaze.

Jiang He comforted Zhang Yi, "Don't be afraid, I just like to listen to you talk, I'm not interested in your brain."

Zhang Yi stammered, "That's great."

Jiang He: "Where were we talking about? Oh, where is Mr. Chen's laboratory? Go on."

"About three kilometers ahead, there's a three-story glass house. The first floor is Mr. Chen's office, the second floor is Mr. Chen's laboratory, and Mr. Chen's daily life is on the third floor."

Jiang He: "The lab is quite big."

"We've expanded our staff this year and hired a lot of researchers," Zhang Yi said. "We didn't have so many researchers at the beginning, but now people are troubled by irreversible deformities and are becoming increasingly fearful. We want to research the most perfect evolution of humanity as soon as possible."

"Perfect?" Jiang He sneered, but without any prejudice, she continued to ask: "Have you seen the new alien with tiger beast attributes?"

The experimental area is too large, and it would be a waste of time to walk through each room.

Jiang He noticed that Zhang Yi paused for a moment when she asked this question.

“No, no…”

Jiang He stretched out his hand, and a tentacle shot out and wrapped around Zhang Yi's neck.

Zhang Yi was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out, and he kicked and struggled violently to break free from the tentacles.

Seeing that the other person was about to roll his eyes, Jiang He loosened his grip and said coldly, "Lead the way."

There were too many security guards hiding in the laboratory. Zhang Yi thought there were only five or six, but they encountered at least more than ten security guards along the way.

But these security guards all became Jiang He's delicious brain snacks.

Zhang Yi walked with trepidation. The more late-night snacks Jiang He ate, the weaker his legs became. Previously, he had placed all his hopes on the security guards, figuring that even if one security guard couldn't handle Jiang He, two or three would surely be enough to take him down.

But now, this guy was gnawing on the security guard's brain bite by bite, and he even prayed that the security guard would not show up again to feed him.

Jiang He asked Zhang Yi: "Have you studied Baoan's gene chain?"

Zhang Yi shook his head. "A colleague of mine is curious about the security guard's genetic chain and suspects that it definitely contains the genes of the specimen in Mr. Chen's office."

Jiang He lowered his eyes slightly and glanced at his fingers.

When the tentacles' mouths are open, the serrated teeth and round shape inside do resemble a security guard's mouth.

"Your colleague has a great idea. Has he verified it?"

"She didn't have a chance to verify it." Zhang Yi said, "We only went to Mr. Chen's office once, but we couldn't get the sample genes from his office."

Jiang He: "Where did Mr. Chen get his specimen? What's it called?"

Zhang Yi: "I don't know. No one knows."

He paused, met Jiang He's cold gaze, and said quickly in fear, "I remember that my teacher mentioned Mr. Chen's specimen before he passed away."

Jiang He: "How did your teacher die?"

The other party's focus had strayed from the topic, so Zhang Yi didn't dare to remind him. He answered naively, "It's a contamination disease. I was contaminated by an experimental subject."

He entered the laboratory and has been doing research under his teacher. The teacher is like a father to him, guiding him through his fledgling stage. Thinking of the teacher, he feels inexplicably sad.

"Oh, my condolences."

Zhang Yi was a little surprised. He probably didn't expect that a guy who could eat the security guard's brains without blinking could say such a thing.

Jiang He had no choice but to maintain his image as an unforgivable villain and continued coldly, "Continue."

Zhang Yi regained the fear of having his neck restrained by the tentacles and shuddered with fear.

Contamination diseases are very common in laboratories, but the mortality rate is very low. On the day the teacher was contaminated, Zhang Yi happened to be serving as his assistant.

The teacher was studying a mutant who was brought in from a training camp. This experimental subject had been experimented and observed by the teacher since the early stages. The teacher injected a new gene chain into the body of this mutant. The genetic fusion of the experimental subject and the mutant was not obvious, but was slowly merging.

The teacher has always been personally involved with this experimental subject, and at most he would ask him to stand by with a notebook and record the changes in the deformed body.

"Teacher, can this experimental subject successfully fuse the genes of the mutant?" At that time, Zhang Yi saw that the experimental subject had not shown any signs of deformation, and naively thought that this was very close to fusion.

"Successful fusion is not difficult, the difficult part is maintaining human consciousness after fusion."

Zhang Yi heard this and said longingly, "Teacher, who knows, maybe you can succeed this time."

The teacher smiled and said to him, "Mr. Chen has been successful throughout his life, and there is only one successful person in the office. We are just starting on this road."

Zhang Yi was extremely surprised. "The one in Mr. Chen's office? Is it, is it the specimen inside the glass wall?"

"Specimen?" The teacher laughed. "That's Mr. Chen's lifeblood."

"That's all your teacher said. Why didn't you continue asking?" Jiang He didn't believe that the conversation could end at this point.

"I asked, but the teacher's wristband happened to ring. I was thinking of asking later, but the teacher was contaminated that night."

Jiang He's eyes were fixed straight ahead.

She saw the blue tiger.

The blue tiger is trapped in one of the glass houses.

Zhang Yi followed her gaze and saw the experimental subject that Wu Weiwei had always cared about. He hesitantly asked Jiang He, "You, you came to the lab just to find him, but he's a prisoner in the training camp."

Jiang He found that the screen on the glass was black and she could not see Lan Hu's current information status.

“Only the researchers responsible for it have access to the information.”

Researchers compete with each other, and their respective R&D progress and experimental subject conditions will not be shared with colleagues until new progress reports are submitted.

Jiang He: "Open the door."

Zhang Yi heard the murderous intent in the other person's tone, and his legs began to tremble involuntarily again. "I'm not lying to you, I really can't open it. Only the researcher in charge of the experimental subjects and Mr. Chen can open it."

Seeing Jiang He trying to smash it with his fist, he hurriedly stopped him: "You can't break it, there's electricity..."

After being reminded by him, Jiang He remembered that these glass houses were all electrified to prevent the experimental subjects from breaking the glass.

Lan Hu seemed to be in a coma, lying on the ground motionless.

His body did not take on the animal form.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been in the laboratory for a short time.

Jiang He asked coldly, "What's wrong with him? Why is he in a coma?"

"No, no, he's not unconscious, he's just asleep. He's been well fed and well fed these past two days here. My colleague has been taking good care of him and hasn't abused him."

A security guard rushed out from the wall next to him and pounced on Jiang He.

The security guard had a big mouth and many teeth. Zhang Yi thought it was another security guard who was about to lose his brain, but this time the tentacles did not go straight to the brain. Instead, they wrapped around the security guard's body and threw it against the glass wall.

Electric flashes ran all over the security guard's body.

All the mouths, big and small, on the security guard's body opened and closed, as if screaming in silent pain.

The noise also woke up the sleeping Lan Hu.

He opened his dark blue eyes and looked at Jiang He.
