Qin Tan's assigned task was to feed the experimental subjects who had survived the experiments.
Many of the test subjects experienced adverse reactions shortly after the experiments ended; some died directly, while others underwent drastic personality changes and became extremely aggressive.
Several people have died at the feeding station.
The angels have a better job: cleaning the lab.
After all, the experiment was very bloody.
Feeling unwelcome, Qin Tan carried the sticky food into a laboratory under the watchful eyes of the person in charge.
Amidst the blood-soaked ground, the test subject lying on the operating table had his hands and feet chained.
His body was still largely human-shaped, except that his chest had been cut open, and where his heart should have been, a follicle-like object had been inserted.
That was a replacement heart bred using the Queen Butterfly's genes.
His entire chest cavity is open, now covered only by a thin sterile membrane, just to better observe the heart's reaction after entering the body.
The artificial heart beats twice as fast as a normal heart, and the lines on the electrocardiogram resemble a roller coaster bouncing around.
The other person was panting with their mouth wide open, their eyes vacant, completely unmoved by Qin Tan's arrival.
Eating is not done through the esophagus, but rather by connecting a tube directly to the other person's stomach.
Qin Tan poured the sticky food into her esophagus and pushed it down.
These experimental subjects, who were no longer treated as human beings, are now being devoured like wild beasts.
As the food flowed in, the numbers on the instruments began to change.
All metrics are soaring.
The line around the heart, in particular, doubled again.
In an instant, an alarm sounded in the laboratory, making a loud wailing noise.
But no one came to help, because this is a common occurrence here.
The laboratory door was sealed off, and Qin Tan retreated to where the door was.
She saw that as the artificial heart rapidly pumped blood, all the blood vessels in the test subject's body swelled, and dark red veins could be seen on the surface of the body.
She could hear the sound of blood rushing through it.
That sound was like a surging river, never ceasing.
After exceeding the limits of human endurance, the other person's body began to convulse, and various parts of the body became congested with blood.
then……
"boom!"
The test subject exploded.
Amidst flying blood and gore, Qin Tan, facing the main gate, managed to escape with his face intact.
A large chunk of flesh and blood slammed into Qin Tan's back, and she kept her eyes half-closed.
At the last moment, she saw the change in the other person's eyes.
Suddenly, a light shone in his dull pupils—the joy of liberation.
After the explosion subsided, Qin Tan, looking at the room full of mangled flesh, expressionlessly opened the unlocked door.
"Leave this to me."
An angel carrying tools walked over and brushed past Qin Tan.
After exchanging a quick glance, the two became even more cautious.
They don't want to lie here and be slaughtered; they must be careful from now on.
Qin Tan, who was repeating this work, entered the last room after achieving a dismal result of feeding ten people, all of whom died.
This is the former leader the angel spoke of.
The other person looked very old, with dry, frizzy white hair, and his vitality was severely depleted.
Although his indicators were above average, they were relatively stable.
Qin Tan delivered the food into the gastric tube according to the dosage.
Her gaze moved from the other person's lifeless eyes to their waist.
The other's genitals were replaced by cultivated butterfly tissue. Although they were barely sutured together and both remained active, they were very unstable.
The flesh around the suture line was particularly badly rotten.
Qin Tan saw several maggots wriggling inside, and the faint stench was hard to ignore.
She glanced outside; no one noticed what was happening to her.
Qin Tan used tweezers on the workbench to pick up a maggot and examine it.
Sure enough, this maggot also underwent a certain mutation, with a ring of small and dense teeth growing around its head.
As Qin Tan picked it up, it also bit off a piece of rotten flesh and swallowed it.
They eat very quickly.
The rotting flesh is the battlefield for these maggots, and once the rotting flesh is cleared away, healthy flesh will be their next target.
After Qin Tan interfered with its eating, it twisted its body in the air, its teeth seemingly wanting to bite off a piece of Qin Tan's flesh.
Qin Tan applied a little force, and the tweezers split it in two.
It fell to the ground with a thud, wriggling for a while and still alive. The half of it, with its mouthparts, crawled towards Qin Tan with all its might.
Qin Tan raised his foot and stomped down, causing the maggots to explode into a pool of scum.
She removed all the maggots and then left the laboratory.
The moment the door closed, the old man lying on the platform had a fleeting, trembling in his eyes.
Base 8, interior.
As planned, Bai Yucheng was brought to Tianchi with his hands and feet bound tightly, and Gan Pengpeng hung Bai Yucheng in the air from the vines in the grass.
How did you catch him?
Tianchi looked at Gan Pengpeng with a scrutinizing gaze.
His men still haven't found any trace of Xia Shuang's group, but Gan Pengpeng has brought back a prize.
“I spent some time with him, and I knew he would try his best to escape, so I waited for him at the exit.”
“He wanted to leave the base, so I pretended to tell him that I was on his side and could help him. Once he lowered his guard, I succeeded.”
Gan Pengpeng calmly replied, and casually lashed Bai Yucheng's chest with a straw whip.
It was heavy; the barbed whip instantly tore through flesh, leaving a bloody mess. Gan Pengpeng's face was filled with disgust.
"They betrayed me, they deserve to die!"
"Leader of Tianchi, rest assured, I will spare no effort to capture the rest of them, and I will make them pay the price."
Gan Pengpeng, whose sincerity has been betrayed, begins to turn to the dark side at this moment.
Bai Yucheng, who was hanging up, grinned and looked completely unconcerned.
"Being fooled by us means you're incredibly stupid."
Provoked, Gan Pengpeng lashed out with his whip again.
If Tianchi hadn't stopped him, he would have wanted to continue.
"Do you know where the rest of them are? Just tell me, and I can give you some face."
Tianchi gestured for the person to be put down.
With his limbs bound, Bai Yucheng was slammed heavily to the ground, groaning as he hit the ground.
Swallowing the blood in his throat, Bai Yucheng said disdainfully.
“I’m not one of them. We didn’t even escape together. How would I know where they are?”
"Otherwise, you guys should try harder and get them to come and keep me company soon."
"So you won't be lonely on your journey to the underworld, right?"
Bai Yucheng spat a mouthful of blood at Tianchi. Tianchi's eyes dimmed, and with a wave of his hand, someone brought over a collar.
"I'll do it."
Gan Pengpeng volunteered, and he used vines to drag Bai Yucheng to him, treating him like a dead dog.
He personally put the collar around the other person's neck, tested its sturdiness, and then gave a wicked laugh.
"Don't expect anyone to save you anymore."
He growled, looking ferocious.
