"Open your mouth, little one." Helmod patted Ji Chuan, who mechanically opened his mouth subconsciously. The sweet liquid poured into his mouth, and the icy sensation made Ji Chuan shudder and completely come back to his senses.
Ji Chuan swallowed part of it mixed with blood, and vomited up the other part. Being suddenly forced to drink this strange stuff almost choked him to death.
"I...I'm still alive." Ji Chuan gasped for breath, like a stranded fish.
“Of course you’re still alive. If you were all dead, I would really have to underestimate the world’s perspective.” Helmod said with a smile, “A 70% mortality rate is for ordinary people… Of course, it’s possible that some of you are indeed unable to shoulder the responsibilities of the special ones.”
"Alright, get down now, next one." Helmod pinched Ji Chuan's neck and nodded in satisfaction: "How does it feel, improved treatment?"
Ji Chuan swallowed and realized that his throat no longer hurt.
When he was first released, his mouth was full of the taste of blood, his teeth were loose from clenching, and his body was covered in countless bloody marks from struggling. Now, however, he has recovered completely, with only faint traces remaining.
The extreme pain he had just experienced still left him feeling lingering fear. Although he only felt a faint sensation now, the memory still made Ji Chuan's legs go weak.
"Think about what you wish for, and you can tell me." Shi Yin stood aside and said calmly, "Each of you can make a wish to me directly. Of course, I suggest you think about it carefully, because some wishes are achievable on your own."
“You can consider this a pure exchange of interests; your desires are my reward to you.”
Ji Chuan paused for a moment, opened his mouth as if to say something, but ultimately swallowed his words back down.
Without saying anything, he silently stepped aside.
"Lin Beiyue." Shi Yin glanced at the list and called out her name again.
Lin Beiyue clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and tried to calm herself down. After only a slight hesitation, she lay down on the chair.
Similarly, there was still the helmet that automatically locked onto her head and countless restraints that tightened her body. However, even though Lin Beiyue already knew the procedure, she still couldn't help but tremble a little when the anesthetic was injected into her body.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Beiyue also experienced the extreme pain that Ji Chuan was going through. The pain felt like his brain was being blown apart, and even being devoured by countless zombies was nothing compared to this.
Lin Beiyue suddenly understood why there was a blindfold covering her eyes the moment the helmet covered her head; otherwise, someone might have actually stared their eyes out.
Ji Chuan, standing nearby, was also terrified. He knew he hadn't looked good just now, but seeing Lin Beiyue struggling so fiercely still made him feel a little scared.
The restraints tightened around the skin inch by inch, and even so, they still made one's scalp tingle.
However, Lin Beiyue looked significantly better than Ji Chuan.
In her previous life, Lin Beiyue was devoured by zombies, each piece of her flesh torn and gnawed away by them. Having learned from that experience, although she was afraid in this life, her pain tolerance was still a level higher than that of ordinary people.
When Lin Beiyue finished, she was also drenched in sweat as if she had been pulled out of the water. However, unlike Ji Chuan, her superpower did not affect others the moment she woke up.
Lin Beiyue was very calm, making it unclear what she had awakened.
However, Lin Beiyue still keenly sensed the abnormality in her body. It was a strange feeling, as if something had been added to her body, but when Lin Beiyue reached out, she couldn't grasp it.
Shi Yin and Helmod exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with doubt. Helmod's eyes even showed disappointment in addition to surprise and uncertainty.
Shi Yin gently shook her head, signaling Helmod not to say anything more.
"Go down. Superpowers aren't something you can figure out in a short time." Shi Yin interrupted Lin Beiyue's daze: "Next."
Next up is Changning.
She blinked her big, hazy eyes and sat down, then lay down without hesitation, as if she had no idea what had happened before or what would happen to her afterward.
Shi Yin said one more thing while Xiao Changning was lying on the chair.
"If you want to see me again and won't go hungry, then bear with it."
"Just bear with it?" That's too easy to say.
Everyone around lowered their heads and dared not speak.
Moreover, Changning seemed to be more special. Lin Beiyue and Ji Chuan both struggled in extreme pain and finally overcame their difficulties, but Changning, this little child, clearly did not have such a strong ability to endure. He struggled for less than a third of the time Lin Beiyue did before fainting.
However, Toki and Hermod showed no sign of stopping.
Lin Beiyue and Ji Chuan, Shi Yin and Hermod were observing their mental state, while Chang Ning and the others were observing the actual data.
The intensity was even adjusted twice during the process, and the total duration was longer than the combined duration of the two people.
Although she didn't understand exactly what was being adjusted, Lin Beiyue's intuition told her that weakening it wasn't the right option.
He would wake up and fall into a coma, then fall into a coma and wake up again, repeating this cycle three or four times.
"Similar to last time," Helmod commented. Shi Yin nodded silently, but quietly ticked off Chang Ning's information.
This scene sent chills down the spines of the remaining people waiting to awaken. Changning was a real child, cute and adorable. When they first met, she greeted them very obediently, melting the hearts of many.
But now, the little girl is tied to a chair and falls into a coma due to extreme pain, and then wakes up again. Because Changning is too small, she looks more ferocious than the adults.
But the two people next to her showed no surprise or pity whatsoever; one was diligently recording data, and the other was carefully observing the data panel.
Shi Yin is fine; she's always had the same expression and it hasn't changed much, so everyone's used to it.
But Helmod was different. He always gave people the impression of being gentle, mature, and patient. He was always kind and had expressed sympathy for their plight, but now he stood by coldly and indifferently.
Instead of being surprised, Helmod seemed quite relaxed, or rather, he had become accustomed to the suffering of all of them since the experiment began.
"Next, Xu Chu." The cold voice rang out again, accompanied by the sound of papers turning. Xu Chu, who was called upon by Shi Yin, couldn't help but shiver.
He clenched his fists and found his fingertips were ice-cold. He was truly terrified. Even his legs felt numb, as if they were filled with lead and he couldn't move them.
But now he has no way out. Everyone here, from the moment they made their decision, has no way out. All eyes are on him, and he can only move forward.
"Hurry up, don't waste time."
"Although our time is not in a rush, it is not something we can afford to waste."
