Chapter 390 Experiment No. 1
"Oh? I see. I thought you two knew each other before."
Dr. Lin gave a soft "hmm" and nodded in understanding.
The fat man driving was clearly more impatient; he rushed to speak and urged them on.
"Dr. Lin, please tell us quickly, was Feng also a member of the underground research institute before?"
As soon as he finished speaking, apart from the fat man who couldn't turn around while driving, Han Shuo and the others all looked at Dr. Lin with expectant expressions.
Even the researchers in the back seat couldn't help but focus their attention on him.
This group of people are slightly inferior to Dr. Lin in terms of both age and seniority.
They were also eager to know the identity of the expert who saved them.
...
"Cough, cough."
Dr. Lin coughed twice, organized his thoughts, and began to speak slowly and softly.
"The person in white was indeed from the underground research institute."
"However, I don't know his real name; we've always called him Number 1."
"Because he was the first test subject in the genetic modification project."
"Was Feng the first person to become a genetically engineered human?"
Han Shuo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, then asked in confusion.
"Then why is his body the same as a normal person's after he was inoculated with the raw material liquid produced from the zombie king's body? Shouldn't there be some side effects?"
After saying this, Dr. Lin glanced at Han Shuo in surprise.
What surprised him was not that Han Shuo knew about the Zombie King, because this was no longer a secret after the underground research institute was destroyed.
On the contrary, Han Shuo actually knew that the raw material liquid for the gene modification was produced from the body of the zombie king, which surprised Dr. Lin.
After all, this secret was known only to a few people at the time, and it was never revealed afterward...
...
Han Shuo immediately understood when he saw Dr. Lin's strange gaze.
He gave an awkward laugh and quickly offered an explanation.
"Uh...it was the director who finally told me the truth."
Sure enough, after hearing this, Dr. Lin suddenly understood and stopped worrying about the issue.
He continued to explain to everyone.
"After becoming a genetically modified human, Number 1 did experience the side effect of muscle hyperplasia."
"However, during his final evolutionary modifications, he seemed to be able to control all the muscle tissue in his body, which is why he was able to return to the appearance of a normal person."
"Oh, I see."
Han Shuo nodded, indicating his understanding.
At this moment, Li Shurou, who was standing to the side, also asked a question.
"Teacher, how many times has the wind evolved?"
"Well... I'm not quite sure either."
Dr. Lin shook his head, thought for a moment, and added.
"At that time, the data on the number of evolutions could not be specified in detail because No. 1 was the first test subject, so we did not know the exact amount of raw material liquid required for each evolution modification."
"Therefore, we can only inject the raw material liquid into No. 1's body again and again, and slowly feel the changes in No. 1's body through the feedback from the instrument."
"If we use the current turbid liquid as the unit of measurement, there are probably around a thousand drops in total, um... or even more..."
At this point, the fat man driving the car widened his eyes and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
"A thousand drops?"
He then quickly calculated something in his mind and continued speaking.
"Damn, based on the amount of turbid liquid required for each evolution, our boss has completed at least eight or nine evolutionary modifications."
Dr. Lin nodded and responded.
"Yes, that seems to be the case. This was the first time I had seen Number 1 make a move. This level of combat power far exceeds my understanding of genetically engineered humans."
...
However, while everyone was discussing it animatedly, Han Shuo frowned.
He couldn't help but recall the abnormal modification that occurred when he injected the turbid liquid needed for the fifth evolution.
According to Li Shurou's analysis, the reason why his body could not withstand the treatment was because the interval between his recent injections of the turbid fluid was too short, resulting in a crisis reaction that caused excruciating pain and even coma.
Even now, he still vividly remembers that pain...
From Dr. Lin's explanation, he noticed some key words, the most important of which were:
"Continuous" and "thousands of drops".
As the first experimental subject, Feng was continuously injected with turbid liquid?
Han Shuo knew without even thinking what this meant; Feng had probably experienced the same pain as him.
Even more! This pain will be even greater...
Thinking of this, Han Shuo suddenly felt a strange, indescribable feeling.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
The next second, he couldn't hold back any longer and immediately asked a question.
"Dr. Lin, did Feng experience any abnormal physical reactions during the genetic modification process?"
"Um?"
Dr. Lin let out a soft "hmm," somewhat not understanding the meaning of those words.
At this moment, Li Shurou also realized what was happening and hurriedly began to explain the abnormal situation of Han Shuo's gene modification, and also shared her subsequent analysis.
"Could continuous injection of turbid fluid really endanger life?"
Dr. Lin was visibly taken aback after hearing this.
Then, after thinking carefully for a moment, he spoke.
"I really don't know about this, because on the 1st, everything seemed normal, and I didn't see any signs of pain on his part."
He had just finished speaking when he suddenly remembered something and quickly continued.
"wrong!"
"There's one more thing I forgot to mention. During the last injection on the 1st, the feedback from the instrument suddenly showed that his bodily functions were disordered."
"From this perspective, it does indeed resemble the manifestation of immense mental anguish."
"However, I don't know what happened after that, because Steward Wang told us that Number 1 died. After that, I never saw Number 1 again in the underground research institute."
At this point, Dr. Lin also understood some of the facts.
"Now it seems that Number 1 was not really dead at the time. He was probably secretly taken out of the underground research institute by Steward Wang in the middle of the journey."
Han Shuo nodded and said nothing more.
...
At this moment, the bus suddenly fell silent.
Because everyone in the car could see the sadness on Han Shuo's face.
He turned his head to the window and quietly looked at the dark night sky.
At that moment, he felt extremely distressed.
He knew that the wind must have endured immense pain during its continuous evolution and transformation.
During this time, Feng behaved no differently than a normal person because his pain tolerance was far beyond that of ordinary people...
This can be seen from the time when Li Shurou treated his injuries.
However, some mental anguish is more unbearable than physical pain.
Finally, Feng's bodily functions suddenly went out of control. It was precisely because of this mental pain that he reached the limit of his endurance and showed these signs.
