Lu Qinglin looked at the white monkey having its blood drawn and felt quite satisfied:

"The alien beasts needed for the experiment have finally all arrived."

That giant white monkey could survive for so long; there must be something special about it.

If we could extract the white monkey's special abilities and apply them to Lu Fan.

If the experiment succeeds, it means that he, who shares the same bloodline as Lu Fan, can also succeed.

If we continue to delve deeper into this direction, perhaps we can eventually successfully extract supernatural abilities from people.

At that time, he will be able to obtain both his grandson Lu Fan's innate awakened abilities and the powerful abilities of the white monkey.

As long as he can continue to unravel the secrets of the mutated beasts, he can further consolidate the power in his hands.

They might even seize this rare opportunity to control the entire world order.

Immortality is probably only a matter of time.

In the laboratory, Zhou Xu was continuously drawing blood from the white monkey.

The white monkey felt the pain and struggled and twisted its body, letting out pitiful cries.

But Zhou Xu didn't stop until he had drawn five tubes of blood.

Zhou Xu knew very well that the white monkey possessed an exceptionally tenacious vitality, and this level of blood consumption would not have any substantial impact on it.

But if he doesn't do as Lu Qinglin asks and makes Lu Qinglin outside the glass unhappy, it's likely that it won't be the white monkey that dies first, but himself.

Zhou Xu handed four full bottles of blood to an assistant:

"Take it for testing."

Hearing the white monkey's screams, the assistant hurriedly and cautiously took the blood and rushed into the laboratory next door.

Zhou Xu then went to the workbench, took out the carefully prepared medicine, and mixed it with the blood in a certain proportion.

Then, Zhou Xu took the newly prepared reagent to the iron gate of the laboratory.

The heavy iron gate was firmly locked by three huge and sturdy locks, giving people a sense of oppressiveness that could not be broken through.

Zhou Xu pressed his palm on the light, and the green light swept over it, confirming his identity verification.

The iron gate slowly opened, revealing another iron gate inside.

Between the two iron gates stood two serious-looking Awakened Ones, who looked over warily to confirm their identities once again.

After the first door was locked again, the second door slowly opened.

Such strict security measures demonstrate the importance Lu Qinglin places on the people inside.

Zhou Xu knew that the person locked inside the iron gate was Lu Qinglin's grandson, Lu Fan.

Stepping through that heavy iron gate, a chill ran through me, and the scene before me was terrifying.

Lu Fan was firmly bound to the cold experimental table.

His limbs were tightly bound by thick metal chains, which were deeply embedded in his skin, leaving shocking, bloody marks.

Each chain seemed to be specially crafted, and no matter how desperately Lu Fan struggled, he could not budge it in the slightest.

Lu Fan's wrists and ankles were so tightly bound that the bones were visible, but he continued to struggle.

Blood slowly seeped out, staining the surrounding floor red.

Lu Fan's chest was pressed down by a huge metal plate, which was covered with complex mechanical devices.

With a low, humming electrical sound, the metal plate kept rising and falling, relentlessly squeezing his physical life.

Lu Fan's entire body was contorted in a twisted posture under these restraints.

Even with taut muscles and bulging veins, they were still unable to break free from this nightmarish constraint.

Lu Fan's head was also firmly fixed in place by a square box, leaving only his angry eyes visible.

In those eyes, there was only endless hatred.

When Zhou Xu entered, he immediately saw this cruel scene.

After all, he was Lu Qinglin's grandson. Thinking that he was going to use him to conduct experiments on Lu Fan, Zhou Xu hesitated for a moment and subconsciously looked at the camera above.

Lu Qinglin looked at the monitor screen, quickly picked up the microphone next to him, and a glint of fanaticism flashed in his eyes:

"Conduct the first experiment immediately; I need to see the results now."

Zhou Xu was filled with helplessness; he knew that it was absolutely impossible for such an experiment to succeed on the first try.

Putting aside the inevitable rejection reaction that would occur in actual operation, the medicine he had prepared beforehand simply had no effect on this fusion.

But at this moment he had no way out, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk toward Lu Fan with the potion he had just fused.

When Lu Qinglin saw Lu Fan, who was being forcefully squeezed by the metal plate and unable to move, he actually smiled and said:

"Lu Fan, Grandpa loves you."

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan's body reacted violently, with the thick iron chains on his hands and feet making a series of loud clanging sounds.

His eyes were filled with hatred, and he made muffled noises, but it seemed as if something was stuffed into his mouth, making it impossible for him to speak clearly.

Zhou Xu took out a syringe, inhaled the mixed blood medicine from the bottle, and then injected it directly into Lu Fan's body.

Soon, Lu Fan calmed down completely, as if all his strength had been drained away.

Time passed by, and Zhou Xu's fingers flew across the control panel beside him.

His eyes were fixed on the various data and readings on the screen, while his assistant kept taking notes beside him.

Suddenly, Lu Fan's body began to show obvious reactions.

There seemed to be a faint glow flickering beneath his skin, as if some supernatural power was awakening within him.

"Look, his heart is racing!" the assistant exclaimed.

"Blood pressure is also rising, but it's still within the normal range!"

He had been Zhou Xu's assistant for a long time, and this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

Lu Qinglin watched the experiment's progress intently.

Seeing the data gradually stabilizing, Zhou Xu was startled. Could it really be a success this time?

You should know that if Lu Qinglin really succeeds in obtaining the white monkey's abilities, Qingcheng will probably be doomed.

"drop--"

Just then, Lu Fan's heartbeat suddenly stopped, and the other data on the screen instantly turned into a straight line.

The experiment failed!

Zhou Xu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

As the blood fusion and awakening abilities failed, Lu Fan's body suddenly began to surge uncontrollably, as if something was about to burst out.

"Oh no, it's a rejection mutation! Get out of the room immediately."

Zhou Xu shouted and rushed through the iron gate with his assistant, frantically pressing the switch.

The two awakened individuals quickly picked up their weapons, ready to deal with any unexpected situations.

But under the strong pressure of the metal plate, Lu Fan's body quickly calmed down again.

Just as the iron gate was about to close, one of the Awakened Ones was suddenly pulled by an invisible, enormous force and flew uncontrollably toward Lu Fan.

The awakened one instantly realized something was wrong, turned around abruptly, and tried with all his might to rush out of the room, but the iron door had already been closed.

"No!"
