Chapter 288 Blackmailing a Superpower
"You actually help those with special powers. You are an ordinary person, but you actually speak for those with special powers. They are no longer human. You are a traitor to humanity," the woman said emotionally.
This unexpected remark made Zhuang Mingxu stunned for a moment. After reacting, he asked, "Then why do you transplant crystal cores into others? Isn't it to make ordinary people become superpowers?"
"Of course not, I just want to take out the crystal cores from the bodies of the psychics and watch them fall from a high place and lose everything," the woman said with hatred.
"You are an ordinary person, you should be with ordinary people, but you are helping the superpowers, you are a running dog of the superpowers."
"But your teacher is also a psychic, you must know that, right?" Zhuang Mingxu pointed at Zhuang Mobai.
The woman choked and said nothing, only breathing heavily.
Seeing that she didn't say anything, Lu Weiyi lost his patience and said, "Does anyone know? If no one knows, there's no point in keeping it."
"What are you talking about? What medicine? This is just an ordinary operating room. It's no different from the operations in a normal hospital. What do you want to do by taking control of this place?" Doctor Li looked puzzled. Even though his own condition was not very good, he still protected several colleagues behind him.
"Ordinary surgery?" Lu Weiyi said slowly, "What kind of ordinary method is it? Is it kidnapping people with special abilities to dig out their crystal cores, or is it ordinary to capture ordinary people for experiments?"
Doctor Li looked a little strange when he said that, "What are you talking about? Awakening superpowers is just stimulating the human pineal gland with drugs to make people develop superpowers. There is no need to transplant crystal nuclei."
Lu Weiyi and Zhuang Mingxu both looked at him with pity.
Doctor Li seemed to have noticed something was wrong. He looked at Zhuang Mobai, then at the woman beside him, and finally at the group of people around him. Some of them silently avoided his sight. Some people are equally confused.
"They capture people with special abilities to cooperate with them in experiments, and then transplant their crystal cores to ordinary people. This is the truth about crystal core transplantation." Zhuang Mingxu looked at him inexplicably. He still remembered the proud look on his face when he said that he was helping ordinary people. "You haven't never participated in an operation, have you?"
"Nonsense, how is it possible..." Doctor Li took two steps forward excitedly and looked at Zhuang Mobai, "This is all a misunderstanding, right? We are helping ordinary people survive in this world..."
"Yes," Zhuang Mobai turned his head to look at him, even smiled, and continued, "It's just that some other people with special abilities were sacrificed. Scientific research always needs people to devote themselves. This is nothing surprising."
He shrugged his shoulders. "Not every superpower person is worthy of their status. It's a waste for such a person to have superpowers. So isn't it normal to transplant them to people who need them more?"
Dr. Li was so shocked by the sudden knowledge of the truth that he opened his mouth but could not utter a word for a long time. He looked confused, and his faith seemed to collapse in an instant, which made Zhuang Mingxu unable to bear to continue to attack him.
Lu Weiyi felt uncomfortable, and Zhuang Mingxu didn't want to waste time. He looked around and finally fixed his eyes on Zhuang Mobai, "I'll be back later."
He dragged Zhuang Mobai into a control room next door.
Without Lu Weiyi around, Zhuang Mobai stopped being silent and even took the initiative. He looked at Zhuang Mingxu and asked, "How is the situation of the Zhuang family?"
"It will be gone soon," said Zhuang Mingxu.
After hearing this, Zhuang Mobai suddenly burst into laughter. After a while, he said, "I never thought that the status accumulated by several generations of the Zhuang family would be destroyed in your hands. Mingxu, you would go to this extent for a man. You are really... a romantic... a big romantic."
He gave Zhuang Mingxu a thumbs up with a sarcastic tone.
"Grandpa, you shouldn't have set your sights on the people around me. As long as you don't do anything to us, I'll turn a blind eye even if I know about it. Besides, don't you have plans for my family?"
Zhuang Mingxu directly exposed him, "You used your supernatural powers to influence the choices of everyone in the family, making everything go according to your wishes. You controlled the entire family, and naturally determined their downfall. I don't know if you are worthy of our ancestors."
After saying this, both of them were silent for a moment. If you think about it carefully, both of them were wrong and no one could blame anyone else.
Finally, Zhuang Mingxu asked the question that had been on his mind for a long time, "You have so many choices? Why do you have to let me participate?"
"..." Zhuang Mobai lowered his head and said after a long while, "The higher the physical fitness, the higher the success rate."
Zhuang Mingxu chuckled and said, "Sure enough..."
"Are you going to kill me?" Zhuang Mobai asked himself and answered, "Probably not. Otherwise you wouldn't just take my crystal core, but would just kill me directly."
"You want me to continue my research?" Zhuang Mobai looked at Zhuang Mingxu.
Zhuang Mingxu did not answer, but repeated the previous question and added at the end, "I don't want to do anything to you, so don't force anyone to torture you."
Zhuang Mobai was very aware of the situation. He made an OK gesture and told Zhuang Mingxu what he wanted to know very readily.
The two talked for a while and then returned to the original room. Zhuang Mingxu selected a few doctors again and interrogated them again.
Zhuang Mobai sat on the ground, looking very relaxed.
His eyes were almost glued to Lu Weiyi. Knowing that he would not speak, he asked, "Do you have dual powers? How did you awaken? How many crystal cores do you have in your body? Is it one crystal core with two powers or two directly? How does the energy work?"
He chattered incessantly and was full of great interest in Lu Weiyi. If the current conditions did not allow it, he had no doubt that he could put Lu Weiyi directly on the test bench.
Lu Weiyi was already feeling uncomfortable, and became even more annoyed by his chattering. He couldn't help himself for a moment and used his supernatural power on him again.
Zhuang Mobai finally calmed down.
After Zhuang Mingxu's interrogation, the two men prepared to leave.
"This laboratory has exploded outside. Everyone assumes that you are dead. From now on, you will live here and do the work assigned to you. As for whether you can't complete it, I don't think you want to know the consequences." After scaring a group of people with an expressionless face, Lu Weiyi went to the place where the Hunter Guild members were detained with Zhuang Mingxu.
Zhuang Mobai had previously focused most of his attention on the only team member, especially knowing that many of them were at the hidden level, and he constantly used drugs to stimulate and determine their actual ability level, while others were only given basic drugs.
In comparison, they were not injected with too many drugs, but were just tied to the experimental bed.
Seeing Zhuang Mingxu and Lu Weiyi come in, everyone turned their eyes.
"It's you," Li Ji spoke first. He struggled twice but failed to break free from the straps on his body. Instead, he felt very tired.
"Who are you?"
"What do you want to do?"
Amidst the numerous questions, only one bald man asked directly, "My superpower is gone. Is it you who did this?"
Zhuang Mingxu shook his head and said, "This is a laboratory owned by the Zhuang family, specializing in the research of superpower transplantation. The crystal nuclei of people with superpowers are transplanted into ordinary people's bodies to give ordinary people superpowers. Luo Laoqi cooperated with the people of the Zhuang family to capture you as donors."
"how……"
Maybe the two words were blocked by the person who was speaking before they were even uttered.
The worst here also has a place in the team. One year after the end of the world, those who are brainless have already died.
"You are very lucky. Captain Lu of the only team rescued his teammates and took control of this place, so you are safe for a short time."
A dozen people were reluctant to give in for a while, and after hearing what he said, they turned to look at Lu Weiyi.
"Captain Lu, I'm Su Kuo from the Menglang team. What do you want in exchange for letting me go? Supplies, crystal cores, anything we have, just ask for it." Lu Weiyi glanced at the familiar bald head and thought of Su Wei, the captain of the Menglang team.
"Yes, I am from the Blizzard team. I have a lot of supplies and crystal cores. If you let me go, I will give them all to you."
"I, I have a lot too. I also know where our team's supply warehouse is. I can tell you everything."
"Li Laogen, the material warehouse belongs to the entire team. If you just give it away like that, how are the people in the team going to survive?"
"I'm going to die, who cares how others live? If you want to be selfless, go ahead and don't drag me along with you."
Without Lu Weiyi saying anything, they started arguing on their own, and the buzzing sound was extremely irritating.
"I want to exchange you for supplies. After all, it's your greed that has brought you to this point." Lu Weiyi leaned on an empty laboratory bed and said indifferently, "But some of your teams don't want to exchange you for supplies."
As soon as these words came out, half of the team members fell silent.
"I won't waste my efforts to save you, so be mentally prepared." Lu Weiyi hadn't figured out what to do with them yet, he came here just to take a look at their situation.
After he finished speaking, his eyes turned towards Li Ji, and suddenly deepened.
This person who has been haunting us since the end of the world should finally come to an end.
"I'll do it." Zhuang Mingxu saw what he was thinking and held his hand, "You go wait for me outside."
Lu Weiyi nodded and left the laboratory where they were staying.
The surrounding area is full of people with special abilities, most of them are Class B. Many of them have been upgraded to Class A under the stimulation of Zhuang Mobai's drugs, but it is an abnormal upgrade, and their situation is not good.
Lu Weiyi walked past one test bench after another, where people of all kinds were lying. Most of them had been captured for an unknown period of time, and their faces were haggard. They all had tubes inserted into their bodies similar to those of the team members, and the fluids connected to them had been drained out.
Some alarms sounded for too long without anyone answering, leaving only a flashing red light, while others continued to beep, which sounded extremely harsh in the empty corridor.
Lu Weiyi walked slowly into a room, stared at the machine he couldn't understand beside the bed for a long time with an expressionless face, pressed two keys at random, and became impatient when the sound didn't stop.
