When they saw the test subject number 0 come up, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
However, when Xu Changbing and the others saw the appearance of this test subject No. 0, a look of regret appeared on their faces.
His wetsuit was completely torn apart, but the glass oxygen mask on his face was still intact.
The other person's body was covered in scratches and bite marks, and there was even a piece of flesh missing from his back.
It was clearly bitten by these ghouls.
Upon seeing this, the crew members on the ship couldn't help but take a step back.
The man, covered in blood from being bitten, was still tightly gripping the necks of the two cannibals as he emerged from the water, desperately pressing them down.
A smile played on his face, as if he felt relieved to have accomplished this seemingly impossible task, and the pain in his body seemed to have lessened considerably.
He swung the two large fish at Lu Yuan on the shore as if he were holding them, and then grinned broadly.
"Boss, I've completed the task. Look, I really completed the task. 100,000 yuan, I don't owe you anything anymore."
Lu Yuan glanced at the other person and nodded slightly.
"Xu Changbing, bring your men back now!"
Xu Changbing, who had been prepared in advance, immediately ordered his men to set sail.
In his hands are the test subject No. 0, who is holding a gun and always on high alert, and two cannibals.
What Lu Yuan found somewhat unbelievable was that these cannibals themselves possessed immense strength.
But this person held one in each hand without feeling anything at all.
He had a vague feeling that these potions not only contained serum that could resist the ghoul virus, but also things that could increase a person's strength and speed.
However, he didn't think too much about it. He wanted to see if the person would get infected first. If they did get infected, then the experiment might have to start all over again.
When the man disembarked from the ship with two cannibals, Lu Yuan immediately ordered Xu Changbing and the others to find an iron cage and lock the man inside.
"What are you doing? I've already completed the mission, Lu Yuan, are you trying to back out? You're a despicable scoundrel!"
The other person looked panicked as they saw themselves locked in a cage.
He gripped the iron railing and kept shouting loudly at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan then pointed to the mark on the other person's shoulder.
"You've already been bitten by a cannibal, so I need to check if the antiviral serum in your body is effective. If it is, you will be released immediately, and you will also receive some food as compensation for being a test subject this time!"
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, the other person looked at his body covered in scratches and bite marks, and a look of surprise appeared on his face.
At this point, the pain in his body finally became apparent. While he was underwater, his body was constantly releasing adrenaline, which made him less sensitive to pain.
Now that the adrenaline had almost completely dissipated, he finally felt the pain. The throbbing pain made his whole body tremble slightly.
The prisoners, who were tied to the chairs, also had hopeful expressions on their faces. They had seen hope in this man, so they hoped he would live.
He was locked in that cage for half an hour without any symptoms, and he even felt a little hungry.
Lu Yuan had been standing to the side observing for a long time, and he didn't know how many times he had gone up to ask about the other person's condition.
"How are you feeling now? Are you experiencing any discomfort? For example, do you feel drowsy or sleepy, or have dry, aching eyes, or trembling symptoms? Tell me what's wrong!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yuan heard a rumbling sound from the other person's stomach.
The other person touched their stomach somewhat embarrassedly.
"Well... if I really have any discomfort, it's probably that I'm hungry. I haven't eaten in a long time. Boss, could you let me go home and get the few protein cubes I have left?"
After hearing this, Lu Yuan burst into laughter after a brief discussion.
"As my lab technician number 0, why are you still eating protein cubes? Wait for me to get you some food!"
After saying that, Lu Yuan turned around and went back to the office building, where he took out a bunch of food.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Shan was slightly taken aback, because she hadn't seen Lu Yuan all afternoon and didn't know what he was doing.
Lu Yuan had a slight smile on his face.
"The medication may have been successful. Patient Zero is showing no reaction at all. I'll bring him some food now and continue to observe him. If he's still doing well by this time tomorrow, then we can proceed with the next batch of injections!"
"Really? That's great! If this batch of medicine is successful, we can continue production!"
"Yes, we've been spending money all this time without making a single penny in profit. From now on, as long as this potion is successful, we'll start to break even. Next, we'll get these people to help us build ships, find the things we need, and even help us farm!"
Lu Yuan became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes filled with laughter.
Xiao Shan, with a smile on her face, stepped forward and grabbed Lu Yuan's hand.
"Great! We're finally going to succeed!"
Then, Lu Yuan led Xiao Shan and the large bag of food to the front of the cage.
Lu Yuan took some food out of his pocket and put it into the cage.
The person, who was already starving, smiled slightly when he saw the food being thrown in and quickly opened the food packaging.
Suddenly, a rich aroma of meat wafted over, and he swallowed hard. Then, looking at the oily fleshy tumor inside, he looked up at Lu Yuan in surprise.
"Boss... this... is this for me? Does this cost money? This looks very expensive!"
Lu Yuan glanced at the other person.
"As long as you continue to cooperate with my work, I'm willing to feed you anything, not just chicken, pork, or beef. Stop talking nonsense, quickly replenish your energy, and report all your physical reactions promptly!"
The other person immediately nodded, then grabbed a chicken leg and began stuffing it into their mouth with all their might.
Xu Changbing and the others standing to the side had their eyes wide open, waiting anxiously.
After years of desperate spitting, they simply couldn't believe that Lu Yuan actually had meat here.
Meanwhile, those tied to chairs in the audience were starving. They couldn't even get enough to eat, and in prison, even drinking a sip of swill was a dream.
Seeing that their companions were even eating meat, I suddenly felt that this was the life a human being should be living.
Suddenly, whispers began to circulate among the crowd, and their thoughts started to shift.
