Xiao Guozheng and Ding Yao's expressions changed, and they subconsciously exchanged a glance.
"You saw it?"
Lu Sheng and the others: "..."
Yes, they not only saw them, but they also killed many. The first one should have already reached the seventh day after its death...
"Dad, stop keeping me in suspense. What method does that beast Chen Dongsheng use to mass-produce these monsters?"
Xiao Yu stepped forward and hooked her arm around Xiao Guozheng's shoulder, then patted her father's slightly protruding belly.
Director Xiao, who used to have a standard figure, is now overweight and healthy, with a protruding belly.
It seems that his vacation at Dongsheng Group has been quite enjoyable...
"Never mind, I'll take you there and you'll see."
Xiao Guozheng sighed, "But I must remind you to be mentally prepared, the scene in a little while may cause you great discomfort."
"Don't worry, Uncle, we've seen it all. What disgusting things haven't we seen?" Zhang Xiaojuan patted her chest confidently.
While eating hotpot, Xiao Guozheng and his wife already knew that Lu Sheng and her group had killed Chen Dongsheng, so they didn't hesitate to take the elevator up to the tenth floor with their group.
The security on the tenth floor is so tight it's practically armed to the bone; even the connection between the staircase and the corridor is equipped with two heavy electronic doors and surveillance cameras.
Both doors were custom-made, connecting the ceiling and the floor, so tightly sealed that not even a mosquito could fly through.
"Damn it, only Chen Dongsheng's iris can unlock this door."
A group of people were gathered in front of the electronic door. Xiao Guozheng slapped his forehead and exclaimed, "These two doors are the latest technology that Chen Dongsheng imported from Germany at great expense before the apocalypse. No one but him can open them."
Zhang Xiaojuan was unusually serious for a moment, resting her chin on her hand and looking around. "This technology is brand new, and it hasn't been introduced to China yet. Unless we find the original password from the German parent company, it's almost impossible to open it with the current technology in China."
"I'll give it a try."
Lu Sheng took out the electronic decoder and tried to stick it on the iris unlocking area.
Beep beep beep.
The sturdy, heavy door clicked open.
Convenient, fast, and simple.
Zhang Xiaojuan: "..."
His professional knowledge has been challenged again. Could you please cut out his serious speech from just now and not broadcast it?
He thought the electronic collar was Lu Jie's limit, but he didn't expect that even the top level of Earth's cryptographic technology tree would be so vulnerable!
Science has reached its end, leaving only metaphysics!
"As expected of top students from Peking University, the future development of China depends on you." Xiao Guozheng gave Lu Sheng a thumbs up with satisfaction.
Lu Sheng pursed her lips awkwardly.
I'm sorry, Uncle, I just used cheat codes!
After passing through two iron-barrel-like electronic doors, Xiao Guozheng led his group deeper into the corridor.
There was only one separate room at the far end of the tenth-floor corridor. When Lu Sheng and the others were still three or five meters away from the door, they smelled a strong, fishy stench.
It smelled like fish that had been sun-dried for days, with a salty, fishy, and putrid odor, or like bloodstains that had accumulated in a corner of a wall under high temperatures.
The decay and rot merged together, enveloping everyone in every crevice.
"Uncle... ugh..."
Zhang Xiaojuan's grand speech was still fresh in her mind when she almost threw up all the mutton rolls she had in her stomach.
"You need to get used to it first; the smell will be even stronger once you open the door."
Xiao Guozheng held his breath and squeezed out the words intermittently through his teeth.
Apart from Lu Sheng and Xu Yi, who were both expressionless superheroes, the rest of the group were almost all turned pale from the smoke. Han Rui almost vomited into Zhang Xiaojuan's hoodie hood.
In the end, Lu Sheng took out a gas mask with multiple layers of filter cotton, and only then could everyone barely get used to the stench.
"Ready? If you girls are scared, just close your eyes."
After everyone gradually got used to the suffocating smell in the corridor, Xiao Guozheng slowly pushed the door open.
"vomit……"
The overwhelming stench almost knocked everyone off their feet.
The room was dark. In the entire 200-square-meter space, there was only a small square window, one meter long and wide, on the wall directly opposite the door.
The last rays of the setting sun streamed in through the window, leaving only hazy, indistinct shapes visible in the room.
Through the blurry lines, Lu Sheng could vaguely see an experimental bed in the center of the room, and there seemed to be a slender figure on the bed.
"Hmm..."
A weak voice came from the direction of the figure.
The white sheets on the bed stirred slightly.
"Xiaoyue, don't be afraid, it's Uncle Xiao."
Xiao Guozheng gently soothed the figure on the lab bed, then turned on the light.
He used a dim auxiliary light, which wasn't very bright; it was just enough to see clearly.
But the scene before them still sent a chill down everyone's spine, and Han Rui even subconsciously hid behind Zhang Xiaojuan.
Lying on the large laboratory bed was a young girl in her early twenties. Her face was withered, her hair was like wild grass, and her body was so thin that she was just skin and bones.
The girl kept her eyes closed and lay on her back, only twitching her fingers slightly when she heard Xiao Guozheng speak.
Most shockingly, her lower body was actually a red fishtail.
The beautiful scales had been almost completely stripped away, revealing bloody flesh.
The wide fish tail was covered with pitted and uneven wounds, new and old wounds piled up together, like a crumpled sponge.
Some wounds were so deep that the bone was visible, but they were simply treated with medicine.
This visually shocking scene made everyone present feel nauseous.
“These wounds are so scary…it looks like they were cut with a knife…” Sun Tiantian hooked her pinky finger around Lu Sheng’s and carefully brought it close to her ear.
The wound on the fish's tail had clean edges, clearly a mark caused by a sharp instrument.
"Dad... what's this?"
Xiao Yu couldn't bear it, so she turned off the light and asked Xiao Guozheng in a low voice.
"This is the secret behind Chen Dongsheng's mass production of sea monsters."
Xiao Guozheng sighed, his tone full of sympathy, "Last month, Chen Dongsheng suddenly brought Xiaoyue back and forced all the researchers in Dongsheng Group to participate in the research."
"Xiaoyue is a mutant parasitized by a different species, but she has no superpowers, only a mermaid form."
"In order to enrich his collection, Chen Dongsheng forced all researchers to find a way to cultivate mermaid mutants. Later, someone accidentally discovered that eating Xiaoyue's flesh would give one a chance to inherit the mutation."
"Eat meat..."
Xiao Yu's face turned pale.
Besides Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Guozheng, everyone present instantly recalled the words of the old man from Henan.
It turns out that the braised fish piece that the old man stole that day was meat cut from Xiaoyue's body...
Han Rui suppressed the acid reflux in her stomach, "If eating meat can lead to inheriting mutations, then why are so many ugly things produced?"
"This kind of inheritance is not 100%."
Xiao Guozheng stood with his hands behind his back. "In fact, so far the entire laboratory has only succeeded in one case. All the other test subjects mutated after eating the meat, lost their minds and turned into monsters."
