Experimental Subject
Yu Sheng chose to look back.
He once again controlled his mental power and quietly extended it out, this time not daring to rush forward in a big way, but spreading it out cautiously. Yu Sheng followed the direction of the mental power and crept forward.
But for some reason, Yu Sheng never encountered that strangely familiar spiritual energy again. Yu Sheng raised his guard and resumed his search.
A spacious hall filled with a pungent smell of medicine attracted Yu Sheng's attention. Yu Sheng saw the tightly closed electronic door, and his mental thread penetrated into it. In less than a minute, he destroyed the lock. As the red light on the electronic door flashed, Yu Sheng gently pushed the door open.
Yu Sheng saw a scene that he would never forget in his life.
There are huge glass jars on the ground, and there is a baby in each glass jar, and each baby has a face exactly like Yu Ze.
When he saw that the bodies in the glass jars changed from babies to young children starting from the third row, Yu Sheng's clothes were soaked with cold sweat, and some thoughts flashed through his mind.
No, these babies are not exactly the same as Yu Ze, but... they are exactly the same as me!
After he and Xi Ze rescued Yu Ze, Yu Sheng only felt close to him, never thinking about it in any other way. Firstly, Yu Ze was still an infant, his facial features still underdeveloped, so he couldn't see anything. Secondly, besides caring for Yu Ze, he spent the rest of his time looking for a way to save her. But seven days was too short, and he ultimately watched Yu Ze lose his life.
Now that he saw the corpses of his childhood, Yu Sheng could no longer ignore those faces that looked exactly like his own childhood ones.
Yu Sheng closed his eyes, turned on the video, and filmed the horrific crime here.
The further he walked in, the less he could control his body's instincts. The camera hanging on his wrist trembled violently with the movement of his body, but Yu Sheng never stopped and walked towards the end firmly.
Not all corpses were the same. Some were mutilated, some were covered with needle holes from head to toe, and some had bulging eyes, as if they had died with their eyes open.
And these corpses all have their own faces.
Yu Sheng didn't know how he managed to walk. He'd taken many psychology classes and undergone countless mental training sessions, but he still couldn't calm down. He stumbled along, his mind a mess, filled with faces that had died with their eyes wide open.
When he reached the end, Yu Sheng's footsteps suddenly stopped.
At the end was not a glass jar, but a cage with a small bed in it, and a child about four years old sitting on the bed.
The child, with a face identical to Yu Sheng's childhood, tilted his head and asked in a broken interstellar language, "Who are you?"
Yu Sheng's brain buzzed, a string snapping. He rushed to the cage, a massive surge of mental power surging out, enveloping the child and connecting with his five senses.
The child's hair was soft, just like his own, and his body was a little cool, perhaps from the cold. Yu Sheng's spiritual power emitted a slight warmth, which touched the child's skin. The child squinted comfortably and huddled up in the crib.
Yu Sheng saw the needle marks on the child's arm. He suppressed his violent emotions and asked in a slow voice, "Are there other people like you here?"
The child opened his eyes again and looked at Yu Sheng in confusion. Yu Sheng repeated his words again, but the child still did not respond, and his black eyes were full of confusion.
It wasn't until Yu Sheng repeated it for the fifth time that he reacted. He stretched out his slender little hand, pointed at the glass jars all over the room, and said intermittently, "They, they are the same as me."
Yu Sheng asked a few more questions, but they were probably beyond the child's cognition. Yu Sheng could only piece together a fact from his stumbling and incoherent words: as of now, all the experimental subjects have died, and only the child in front of him has successfully survived to the present.
It is not difficult to guess that this child is the key research object of the entire base and the hope of the Blue Beast Research Department to successfully clone the blue beast.
Yu Sheng subconsciously lowered his head to glance at the time. It was four o'clock in the morning and his mission was about to begin.
Looking up, the child was still squinting in his heated spiritual power, as if this pitiful bit of warmth was a great gift from heaven. Yu Sheng's heart ached, but he had to slowly retract his spiritual power and prepare to leave.
The warmth was moving away from him, and the child opened his eyes wide in panic. At the same time, Yu Sheng felt that the mental power he had recovered was pulled by another mental power. Although the force was very small, Yu Sheng understood it instantly.
The spiritual power that had just been encountered at the R&D base was exactly what this child had released. No wonder Yu Sheng felt familiar with it; that spiritual power clearly had the same origin as Yu Sheng's.
"Blood drawing...cold..." The child pulled back Yu Sheng's mental power contentedly, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, closed his eyes and curled up in bed.
Yu Sheng's feet felt like they were stuck in a quagmire, unable to escape even as time ticked by. He covered his face in agony, his nails digging into his skin without him feeling anything, red blood trickling down his fingers. He lowered his hands, only to find his forehead suddenly covered in bloody scars.
I want to cut down this cage and rescue the child. I want to kill everyone in this base and die with them.
Countless violent thoughts filled Yu Sheng's mind, almost drowning his reason.
What Xi Ze said to Yu Sheng before the operation suddenly popped into Yu Sheng's mind: "Do you know why I must come to the base with you?"
Yu Sheng didn't take it seriously at the time and jokingly replied, "Without your leadership, I don't know what to do!"
"No." Caesar's expression was extremely serious. He looked at Yu Sheng solemnly, "Remember this, I'm going with you. If the mission fails, the consequences will be borne by both of us. You are not doomed. No matter what happens..." Caesar paused, "Think carefully before you act."
Looking at the child who seemed to be fast asleep, Yu Sheng finally understood the reason behind Xi Ze's insistence. Xi Ze was threatening Yu Sheng with his own life. Even if you don't care about your own life and can die with the base, don't you care about my life or death?
I'm afraid Caesar had already anticipated the current situation.
Tears streamed from Yu Sheng's eyes, mixing with the blood on his face, making his face look incredibly terrifying. He struggled to withdraw his mental strength, looked at the bewildered child, and said to him, "Don't tell anyone I was here."
After repeating it many times to make sure he understood what he meant, Yu Sheng looked at the time and finally made up his mind to leave.
"Are you coming back?" The child's cautious voice came from behind.
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, turned around, met those black eyes, and clenched his fists. "I will come to pick you up." Yu Sheng said, "I promise."

"What's going on?" As soon as Yu Sheng entered the room, Xi Ze saw the bloodstains on his face and was frightened. "Have you been discovered?"
"It's okay." Yu Sheng took a tissue and wet it with water to clean the wound. "I hurt myself."
Caesar was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then he said in understanding, "Did you see it?"
Yu Sheng fell silent for a long time, then murmured, "Yeah."
Caesar didn't ask Yu Sheng in detail how many clones he had seen or what kind of situation they were in. Caesar simply changed the subject, saying, "In three hours, Yu Ke will arrive here. Our informant will personally take us to the reception hall for Yu Ke, and then everything will proceed according to plan."
The informant of the Freedom Alliance was a partner who had been planted in the Wuke R&D base a long time ago. It was he who passed the specific time of Wuke's inspection to the Freedom Alliance.
All that was left was to wait patiently and conserve their energy. Yu Sheng and Xi Ze ate some compressed biscuits with water. Although they had no appetite, they still forced themselves to eat a lot to maintain their strength.
Two hours later, the man with a mustache arrived with experts from the mecha R&D department.
"I wonder how the master is doing?" The mustache began to compliment him. "I believe with your ability, it won't be a problem."
Caesar didn't bother to play along, so he simply made way and said, "See for yourself."
The man with the mustache's eyes lit up as he saw a tall black mecha placed in the center of the hall. Its exterior appeared pitch black at first glance, but in the dark corners, it shone with starlight. Its aura was understated and luxurious, befitting an aristocratic temperament. I'm sure Mr. Wu Ke would be very satisfied after seeing this.
"Go and take a look." The man with a mustache said to the R&D team.
More than a dozen experts used instruments to scan the mecha from head to toe. One of them personally started the mecha and tried the form-changing part. When they actually witnessed the black humanoid mecha transforming into a black panther, everyone's eyes widened. After they came to their senses, they silently wiped the saliva from the corners of their mouths.
"Thanks, Master!" If the smile on the mustache just now was hypocritical, now he was happy from the bottom of his heart, "Master, you must not leave yet. Wait until our boss finishes the inspection and there will be a generous reward!" If such a talent is not taken advantage of to stay, it will definitely be a huge loss for the Wuke R&D base!
"Okay." Caesar yawned, pretending to be sleepy, and twisted his neck. The man with the mustache understood and immediately said, "Pluto! Send the master to his room to rest! Tell the kitchen to prepare the most sumptuous banquet!"
In the room, Yu Sheng and Nishizawa took a nap for a while. At around eight o'clock, there was a knock on the door.
"Follow me." The informant, wearing the work clothes of the Wuke R&D base, looked hurried. "Wuke is at the conference hall over there. There are about a dozen guards at the door. We should be able to kill them with heavy weapons."
Yu Sheng and Xi Ze looked at each other, nodded, and followed the informant to quietly leave the building.
Along the way, the three men dodged several patrols and bypassed some machine inspections, successfully reaching a tall hall. Sure enough, a dozen heavily armed guards surrounded the door. The informant lowered his voice and said, "Wait a moment. I have a way to get you in."
After saying that, he walked out from the shadows, walked towards the two leading guards and started talking.
At this moment, Yu Sheng summoned a mecha, fired a shot at the hall, and then without hesitation, he immediately took off into the air, trying to escape from the base from above.
When the informant came to the room to find them and said the first sentence, Yu Sheng felt Xi Ze scratching his palm.
There is something wrong with this informant!
If the informant betrayed the Freedom Alliance, then the news he conveyed about Wu Ke's inspection today might be a conspiracy against them!
There was no way to explain further, so the two had to follow him out of the hall. While the informant was away, Yu Sheng immediately summoned the mecha. The mission to kill Wu Ke was doomed to fail, so it would be better to escape with the evidence of Wu Ke's illegal massacre!
"It's too late, little guys." A masked man walked out of the building. He looked at the silver mecha surrounded by countless mechas with a smile and said slowly, "Mr. Manla, you also contributed to the capture of the two blue beasts this time."
The person standing next to him, staring at the silver mecha with an obsessed look without blinking, was none other than Manla who disappeared in the Mousse Military Academy.
"As long as Mr. Wu Ke allows me to be their trainer, I am willing to go through fire and water for Mr. Wu Ke." Manla said respectfully.
The masked man remained noncommittal. A faint breath came out of his nose as he ordered, "Stop teasing these two blue beasts. Activate the magnetic storm interference."
"Yes!" The subordinates around him took the order and left.
In an instant, all the mechas on the scene lost control, and the Silver Dragon was no exception, falling from the air. Fortunately, the Silver Dragon had a strong shell and shockproof system, so Yu Sheng and Xize were not injured.
"Fuck!" Looking at the dense crowd of armed people outside, Yu Sheng cursed and slammed his fist on the operating table.
Xi Ze clenched his fists tightly, "Yu Sheng, take the silver dragon."
"Xize?" Yu Sheng looked up in surprise, only to see Xize with his eyes closed, shaking his head at him. "We've fallen into a trap."
"I can still fight! I must not fall into the hands of these people!" Yu Sheng gritted his teeth and stood up from the driver's seat, but was grabbed by Xi Ze.
"It's impossible." Caesar said, "There are too many of them, and this is their territory. We have to find another way."
Seeing the silver dragon being put away and the two blue beasts giving up resistance and being locked in cages, the masked man and Manla smiled unconsciously. The masked man glanced at the excited Manla beside him and said, "Go and see your new pet?"
"Everything is up to Mr. Wu Ke." Manla's eyes were almost glued to Yu Sheng and Xi Ze.
Owning a blue beast has been Manla’s lifelong dream, and now, it’s finally coming true!
Yu Sheng looked at the dangerous masked man and Manla walking towards him, and subconsciously blocked Caesar behind him. He said coldly, "Are you Wu Ke?"
The masked man made a "tsk" sound and did not answer Yu Sheng's words. Instead, he pointed at Manla beside him and said, "This is your new master. You must be obedient from now on."
"Get out of here!" Yu Sheng felt sick when he saw Manla.
Manla's face changed, but instead of getting angry, she smiled and said, "Okay, I like disobedient pets the most. Only in this way can I feel a sense of accomplishment when I train them. Mr. Wu Ke, you see..." As she spoke, Manla looked at the masked man tentatively.
"Take it away." The masked man replied lazily, as if he had no interest in Yu Sheng and Xi Ze. "Remember to give the blood sample to the testing team first."
"Don't worry, Mr. Wu Ke, I won't forget it!" Manla could hardly wait to train the blue beast himself. He impatiently ordered a few guards and lifted up the big cage containing Yu Sheng and Xi Ze. Judging from the direction they were going, it was the hidden underground biochemical research department.
