Chapter 313 The Birth of the Zombie King (Part 1)
More than a decade ago, with the support of the state, my teacher prepared to establish an underground research institute.
This day marked the completion of the underground research institute, and also the first day of its inhabitants!
Today, many high-ranking officials from the country came to cut the ribbon for the underground research institute.
After a round of polite greetings, I was honored to be among the first people to enter the underground research institute, following my teacher.
Oh, I forgot to mention, my teacher's name is Yue Zongyang, a name that is very famous throughout the world.
Because he is a top-notch researcher.
In his youth, he won numerous awards, and in recent years, he helped the country overcome many difficult problems. As a result, the country invested heavily to help him establish this underground research institute.
I am also outstanding in scientific research and technology. By chance, I was noticed by my teacher and was taken under his tutelage.
...
In the following years, through my continuous learning and hard work, I finally became second only to my teacher in terms of skill among the many researchers in the underground research institute.
On that day, I felt like I was the center of attention, the moon in the sky, because I was my teacher's most prized student.
However, this feeling of being admired did not make me arrogant or complacent; I continued to be myself in a down-to-earth manner.
Because I haven't forgotten my original aspirations; I want to continue learning, continue following my teacher, and overcome more challenges...
And so, another two years passed.
A world-shaking event occurred: my teacher conquered the HIV virus and successfully developed a cure for AIDS.
He solved a huge problem for everyone in the world.
This event is enough to secure his place in history and etch his name on the milestones of world history.
At the same time, the name Yue Zongyang became known throughout the world.
Actually, although only my teacher's name was listed as the author, only I know that this antidote was developed jointly by the two of us.
In fact, I played an even greater role throughout the entire research and development process.
Before I knew it, my skills had surpassed those of my teacher.
We both knew the truth about this, but neither of us said it out loud.
Although my teacher took away the fruits of my labor, I didn't take it to heart at all.
I don't care about these empty titles.
I am always grateful to my teacher, because without him, I wouldn't be where I am today.
I will always remember this kindness.
However, I didn't realize that just as my skills surpassed my teacher's, he had already developed some resentment towards me.
My teacher, without realizing it, had already lost his way in the pursuit of fame and power...
Of course, I only discovered these things later.
I truly came to my senses the following year after the development of a cure for AIDS.
That year, I had my first disagreement with my teacher because of one incident.
He actually decided to undertake a project called gene modification!
This project is not simply gene research.
My reason for opposing this project is that it involves extracting genes from various organisms and then using humans as a carrier for fusion experiments.
Furthermore, this vessel must be a healthy, living person...
Once I learned all the details of the project, I immediately rejected the decision.
Because I am well aware of the risks involved. When countless different genes are combined, the subsequent events are absolutely beyond our control.
This project has endangered the lives of the participants and crossed the red line for this type of gene experiment.
This red line for humanity is one we must never cross...
And so, my teacher and I argued about this countless times.
In fact, given his current reputation, he could easily acquire some "voluntary test subjects".
The reason he didn't do that is because he needed my technology; he was better at virus research, while I was better at gene research.
Only by working together can we remedy the technical flaws in this project.
Without convincing me first, no matter how many test subjects we have, we can't move forward...
Although he tried to persuade me for a long time, I still maintained my opposition and did not budge an inch.
Because in my heart, this is an experiment that violates moral principles, and with my conscience, I would never allow myself to do it.
Because of this incident, my teacher and I began to drift apart over the next month.
This feeling of alienation makes me very sad...
To my surprise, in the second month, his attitude suddenly changed. He came to me and said that he had decided to listen to my advice and give up on the project.
I was naturally overjoyed, and not long after, our relationship was restored.
Unfortunately, I didn't know that his transformation was just an illusion for me!
Later, he would occasionally approach me to ask questions about biological genes. At first, I was a little wary, but later I gradually let my guard down.
Because what he asked were questions about the genes of other organisms, not about human genes.
I have analyzed it carefully, and these problems have no connection whatsoever with the previous gene modification project.
Little did I know, I had underestimated the complexity. My teacher had broken down the technology required for that project into countless small steps, making it impossible for me to understand anything about it.
The genetic questions he asked gradually led to my technology being incorporated into that project.
In the end, he still refused to give up on the project.
Yes, according to previous simulations, if this project succeeds, it will allow the human body to break through existing limits.
This would overturn humanity's existing understanding, allowing us to break free from current constraints and evolve towards an earlier level. Just hearing about it tells you how magnificent that is...
If my teacher can successfully complete this project, he will probably become more than just the number one in this field.
He might even become the first person in the entire world to do so.
How could he possibly resist the temptation of such supreme power?
...
And so, a year later, without my knowledge, he quietly and independently mastered all the technology required for the project.
Then, in his eyes, I was not only useless, but I also became a thorn in his side.
Because I've been here the whole time, he hasn't been able to officially start the project...
Finally, one day, completely blinded by desire, he could no longer resist.
On my birthday, he turned his evil clutches on me.
On this day, he celebrated my birthday with a smile, just like always, and it was just the two of us in the room.
He expressed his gratitude to me in many words, which touched me deeply.
That night, I was genuinely happy and drank quite a bit of wine with tears in my eyes.
Little did I know, he had slipped an anesthetic into my drink...
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself inside a laboratory glass container.
I actually became the first test subject for this project.
No, it should be the first carrier, the first source of this project...
