Chapter 98 Nirvana Poison Flame
In Switzerland, a snowstorm in the Alps swallowed up the last rays of sunlight. Victor Berg stood in front of a fully enclosed laboratory. The red light of an iris scanner swept across his pupils, and the heavy airtight door slowly slid open.
Dozens of transparent incubators were neatly arranged, their eyes closed as they floated in a pale blue nutrient solution. Their muscle fibers were as knotted as steel, and even with their eyelids slightly closed, one could glimpse an abnormal golden-brown hue beneath their eyes.
This is the Berg family's "real" legacy over the past century. It's not a pharmaceutical empire, but rather the forbidden genetic modification research hidden deep in the snowy mountains, which challenges the bottom line of human ethics.
"How perfect... pain perception is reduced by 90%, and combat effectiveness is increased by 300%." Victor lightly touched the glass cabin and looked at the soaring adrenaline data on the monitoring screen, his tone filled with obsessive fanaticism.
He turned his head to look at his confidant behind him: "How is the first stage of 'Nirvana' going?"
The confidant quickly pulled up the dark web transaction records on his tablet and reported in a low voice, "The first batch of drugs has already entered the Southeast Asian black market. Laotian warlords, the Kachin Army, and pirates in the Gulf of Siam have already paid deposits. They're being transported via cryptocurrency in disposable human containers. Even if they're intercepted, only addicts who volunteered to test the drug will be found."
"It has been put into actual combat testing in northern Myanmar, but test results indicate metabolic disorders persist, with subjects experiencing organ failure after four hours..."
"That's enough. A war only takes four hours." Victor smiled as he picked up the potion bottle from the incubator beside him and stroked the condensed water on the bottle. "Let our 'new humans' give Mo Xiaohan a big gift and teach the Dark Emperor a lesson—"
“True evolution never requires following rules.”
Thousands of miles away in northern Myanmar, smoke from gunfire stained the humid air. The long-dormant Naga forces suddenly reappeared, brazenly charging directly at Savika's camp.
The Naga soldiers were like soulless zombies, with bullets piercing their chests and strange fluorescent blue blood flowing out, but their wounds were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Look carefully!" Savika pressed Su Lixia to the edge of the trench, snatched the rifle from the soldier next to him, and fired accurately.
"Bang! Bang! Bang!"
Three bullets struck a soldier between the eyebrows, the first two lodged in his skull before the third finally penetrated his brain. The soldier collapsed to the ground, his body convulsing violently as blue blood gushed from all his orifices.
"In this damn place, kindness is suicide!" Savika turned Su Lixia's face and forced her to stare at the twisted corpse.
Su Lixia's face turned pale. She clutched the corner of her clothes and shook her head to break free: "I want to be a doctor in the future... I can't..."
"Bang!"
The sound of gunfire suddenly rang in Su Lixia's ears. She shrank back in fright and looked up to see another Naga soldier who had rushed over falling in front of the trench. Savika had shot him in the head.
He held Su Lixia's hand and loaded the rifle. His chest pressed against her back, and his calloused fingertips gripped her finger on the trigger. "Breathe slowly, don't shake!" He moved the muzzle of the gun to the brow of a stumbling Naga soldier. "Aim here—"
"I don't…"
"Look at their eyes!" Savika shouted, "The blood vessels burst and the organs melted! Can you save them?" He forced her to pull the trigger!
"Bang!"
The bullet penetrated the head and blue blood splattered on the banana leaves. When the soldier fell to the ground, a trace of relief flashed across his twisted face.
"See!" Savika whispered, biting her earlobe. "Killing him will free him. This is saving him!"
Soon, the Naga soldiers' charge was temporarily suppressed, and only sporadic gunshots outside the trenches echoed in the rainforest.
Savika squatted down, stepped on the corpse, and used a dagger to pick open the uniform, his pupils suddenly contracted.
The corpse's muscle fibers were twisted and swollen like overgrown vines, spider-web-like blue blood vessels protruded from under the skin, and there was a coin-sized injection hole where the heart was, and the surrounding tissue had been carbonized.
He put the dagger into Su Lixia's hand: "Go and cut open his heart."
Tears welled up in Su Lixia's eyes: "I... I can't do it..." She stared at the horrible corpse, her stomach churning.
"Can't do it?" Savika's fangs brushed against her earlobe, threatening: "Either cut it now, or I'll feed you grilled human flesh tonight.
"select."
Su Lixia's hand holding the dagger was shaking violently. She closed her eyes and dared not look. Savika held her wrist from behind.
The moment the blade cut open the chest, fluorescent blue liquid splashed out. When Su Lixia opened her eyes, she saw that the surface of the corpse's heart was covered with strange black lines, as if it had been eroded by parasitic fungi.
"Take a sample." Savika's voice was as cold as ice. "I want to know how to crack this damn thing."
Seventy-two hours later, Bangkok laboratory.
The Mohist School's chief biochemist stared at the electron microscope. "The composition is similar to last time, but the genetic sequence is completely reorganized... The mitochondrial metabolic rate is eight times that of a normal human, and the cells will disintegrate after twenty divisions."
He pulled up the 3D model, his white coat soaked with sweat. "Fighting power surges within three hours of injection, but the cost is the burning of one's entire lifespan. This is essentially a disposable biological weapon."
On the screen, mutated cells were biting healthy tissue like poisonous snakes. Ruan Xingchen stared at the image, his stomach churning.
"He's testing some kind of biological weapon." She instinctively covered her stomach. "This isn't a stimulant at all. It's... genetic pollution."
Mo Xiaohan's eyes were filled with murderous intent: "He wants to use Southeast Asia as a testing ground." He gently stroked Ruan Xingchen's belly, "Baby, it looks like your first practical class will have to be brought forward."
Ruan Xingchen held his hand: "We will win, right?"
"Of course." He kissed the top of her head. "Victor suffered a loss last time and lost all the evidence."
"Since international conventions can't control him, let's use our rules."
"Want to play biochemical warfare..."
"We'll just burn down the entire rainforest."
