From Lu Sheng's perspective, he could see Xiao Ning's chest rising and falling rhythmically, her long, thick eyelashes trembling slightly with each movement.
If you're breathing, it means you're still alive.
The researchers inserted a syringe, about the thickness of a finger, into Xiao Ning's bare shoulder. The other end was connected to a compressor about one meter tall, which contained about 5 liters of a new catalyst that refracted an eerie fluorescent green light under the glaring incandescent bulb.
As the indicator light on the instrument illuminated, a large amount of catalyst was continuously injected into Xiao Ning's body. On his fair shoulders, the blood vessels and skin trembled and bulged slightly with the pressure from the syringe.
Lu Sheng was a little surprised. Such a large dose of catalyst would be enough for a hippopotamus. Was Xiao Ning, with her small frame, planning to grow into a giant?
Even if they weren't poisoned by the medicine, they'd probably die from being overwhelmed by 5 liters of water, right?
However, she didn't have a good impression of Xiao Ning either, so even if he died, it wouldn't concern her. Lu Sheng was just curious about what these people wanted to do to Xiao Ning's naked body.
Several researchers carefully compared Xiao Ning's smooth right arm, and finally exchanged glances.
"Director Zhang, the indicators for subject 38 have met the standards. Shall we begin the surgery now?" One of the tall, pretty female researchers asked, somewhat eager to proceed.
The gray-haired, forty-year-old man pushed up his glasses, his voice brimming with excitement, "We must keep a close eye on Number 38's indicators; his potential is extremely high. If this experiment succeeds, none of us will have to do this inhumane work anymore!"
Lu Sheng found a spot with the best view, crossed his legs, and watched as a group of people kneaded Xiao Ning like dough.
Through the conversation, she could roughly understand that this group of people also had KPIs for conducting experiments, and that they could get rid of their status as slaves if they achieved results. Therefore, these researchers paid special attention to Xiao Ning, this top-notch experimental subject.
Director Zhang personally took charge, and the buzzing, sharp chainsaw cleanly severed Xiao Ning's right arm along a pre-drawn red line. The splattered blood landed on Director Zhang and the researchers, creating a gruesome scene.
Several researchers carefully compared the metal arm with Xiao Ning's neat wound, and then meticulously implanted all the metal wires into the cut surface.
The sizzling sound of a sharp blade cutting through bone made Lu Sheng's teeth ache. She frowned slightly and stared at Xiao Ning, who was lying on the lab table with her eyes closed.
A man-made Iron Man?
Are these guys planning to turn Xiao Ning into a human weapon of destruction?
Lu Sheng watched the excitement for a long time, while the group of people next to the experimental table were sweating profusely. After an hour, they finally managed to perfectly connect the metal arm to Xiao Ning's severed arm.
Didi.
When the indicator light on the metal arm lit up, the crowd erupted in cheers.
Some people even cried tears of joy, hugging each other and jumping up and down.
"Great! We did it!"
"Once the inspection is successful, we'll never have to work like slaves again!"
While everyone was immersed in the joyful atmosphere, Director Zhang, though unable to hide his delight, still calmly instructed, "This experimental subject is very important to us. After the metal arm is successfully transplanted, we still need to observe for another 48 hours. We cannot let our guard down."
"From now on, we need to arrange for two people to be on duty to closely monitor the physical indicators of subject number 38 at all times."
"If any indicator fluctuates, you must notify me immediately so I can handle it."
This group of people must have been working continuously for a long time, as each of them had two bluish tinges around their eyes, and Director Zhang's two swollen eye bags were almost the size of half an egg.
No one in the group spoke; none of them wanted to take on this hot potato.
Monitoring test subjects is a tedious job that also makes you a scapegoat; you're guarding a lab full of zombies and you can't even close your eyes.
Seeing that no one spoke, Director Zhang glanced around and then fixed his gaze on the tallest young man in the crowd. "Tian Ye, you stay here."
"Yes, Director." Tian Ye frowned slightly, but reluctantly agreed.
There was one person left to choose from, and the rest of them kept their heads down, afraid of being chosen.
Director Zhang was about to lash out when no one volunteered, when a soft voice came from the crowd.
"Director, I'll stay with Senior Brother Tian. You haven't slept for two days. Senior Brother Tian and I can stay here and keep watch."
It's that tall girl from earlier.
Director Zhang nodded with satisfaction, then turned to the group and praised them, "Look at Jiang Hui, and look at you all, you're all inferior to this young lady."
After exchanging a few perfunctory pleasantries, everyone followed Director Zhang out of the laboratory.
If someone is willing to do the work, they'd rather avoid it than not.
Only Jiang Hui and Tian Ye remained in the vast laboratory, along with various experimental subjects in the surrounding nutrient tanks. The empty environment suddenly felt a bit cold, so the two sat on chairs and breathed on their palms to warm them.
Tianye's appearance and attire are typical of an engineering student. He wears thick, black-rimmed glasses and appears noticeably nervous and awkward when alone with Jiang Hui.
Jiang Hui, on the other hand, acted with grace and poise, always wearing a sweet smile.
"Senior Brother Tian, are you cold?" Jiang Hui moved a chair next to Tian Ye and leaned in gently.
"It's...it's alright..."
Tianye tensed up instantly, breaking out in a cold sweat.
Engineering students rarely have the opportunity to interact with girls, especially when Jiang Hui's soft, warm body pressed against his shoulder, he immediately blushed with embarrassment.
"Your hands are frozen, shall I warm them up for you?"
Jiang Hui ignored Tian Ye's embarrassment and instead took Tian Ye's rough hands in her arms, gently rubbing them with her soft fingers.
