Chapter 246 Lizard 16
As if a huge rock was pressing down on her chest, Yu Mo subconsciously took a few steps forward, her gaze meeting that of the lizardman. His emerald green eyes, and the gurgling sound of obvious pain emanating from his throat...
It's not him! Yu Mo snapped back to her senses, like a drowning person emerging from the water and being rescued. She steadied herself against the wall, then turned to look at her senior sister. Her face had returned to normal.
"I don't understand what this means."
The senior sister had seen Yu Mo's actions, but no matter how much she thought about it, she wouldn't associate them with worry. After all, Yu Mo was a beautiful and talented girl. Even if she was stranded on a deserted island and regarded as a female by the lizardmen, she wouldn't develop any feelings for someone other than herself. Even if she did feel any emotion, it would be hatred. Who would want to be imprisoned by a wild beast?
The senior sister naturally thought that something must have happened between Yu Mo and the lizard man, but it must have been the lizard man's one-sided pursuit, and Yu Mo was disgusted by it, so she kept silent about it when she came back, which was understandable.
This just proved Yu Mo's uniqueness. Most of the other experimental subjects had died, but Yu Mo was able to return safely to the lizard man's territory. Thinking of this, the senior sister thought that her reaction just now was instinctive fear, so she walked to her side, intentionally standing between Yu Mo and the lizard man.
"That chain is made of special material. Even at his strongest, he can't easily break it."
When the senior sister pressed the button, the lizard man suddenly let out a low wail, as if it was a cry coming from his throat, his eyes fixed on Yu Mo, and then he trembled and fainted.
The senior sister explained, "Without applying an electric current, we have no way to transport it back to the lab. Do you remember Senior Brother Wang? The smartest and most talented person in our college was bitten to death by it just a few days ago!" She pointed at the unconscious lizard man, her tone sad. "That day during the research, it suddenly became manic. I injected a tranquilizer. I wanted to check on its physical condition, but unexpectedly, it suddenly jumped up and attacked me..."
Long-term tranquilizer injections had increased the lizardman's tolerance, but it remained silent, feigning unconsciousness before biting Brother Wang, who had come to investigate, to death. At that moment, Senior Sister stared blankly at the lizardman's sudden cry, feeling both delighted and filled with a strong desire for revenge...
Yu Mo remained silent, saying that she had just happened to run into her. She didn't believe that her senior sister had deliberately let her see this scene. She pursed her lips, her expression serious, and her senior sister took her to a laboratory.
Walls full of electronic screens.
Yu Mo raised her eyebrows slightly, staring at the screen in front of her, but her thoughts were working rapidly -
The picture quality of the screen is not very clear and looks a bit old. The content of the picture is a blurry laboratory, people lying on the bed, and people walking back and forth in isolation suits.
"This was a former research project of the old professor. After Professor Li took over, he discovered that the genes of this species are highly exploitable. You know, doomsday predictions have been rampant in recent years. Although many people don't believe them, we are different. We are in the academy and know many things that outsiders don't know."
"The environmental monitoring reports of recent years have become increasingly unsuitable for our survival..."
The person lying on the hospital bed on the screen suddenly let out a wail of pain. At the same time, dense scales grew on his face. Just as the researchers on the screen were whispering, the person with scales on his face died suddenly.
"So they deserve it?" Yu Mo tried to remain calm.
"They volunteered, and if they succeed, they will be heroes and our pride."
"But I failed." Yu Mo's eyelids began to twitch, and her chest seemed to be filled with anger. She seemed to have figured something out, but also seemed not to understand. She bit her lips and stared at her senior sister.
"...Lizardmen's genes are extremely repulsive. No matter how you manipulate them, once exposed to them, you'll initially show some superficial lizardification, but will die within seconds! No matter how many methods you try, it still doesn't work. Furthermore, lizardmen are very difficult to capture. The one in the lab was only encountered by accident while passing through the Devil's Sea... If it hadn't been injured at the time, we wouldn't have been able to capture it so easily."
"After a few days of research, I'm also shocked by the abilities displayed by the Lizardmen! If only we could possess their genes, or even half of their genes! Then our qualities would become stronger and stronger. Even if the environment undergoes drastic changes in the future, we can still survive in this land..."
Yu Mo looked at him coldly, "So you're going to disregard other people's wishes and want us all to die for this crappy research, right?"
She figured everything out. She used to be complacent and thought that she was lucky to be able to enter the research institute under Zhihe Biology, but she didn't expect that there was a big pit waiting for her!
The researcher's information sheet flashed through her mind. The genetic compatibility that once made her proud now made her feel uncomfortable, like swallowing a fly.
That's not a match between my physical characteristics and the research project at all; I think it's a match with the Lizard People! Thinking about it more carefully, since the previous experiment didn't produce the desired results and was declared a failure, the team will definitely not continue. What are the requirements for the new experiment?
During spring and summer, the lizards are in heat, their periods are severe, and those who are stranded at sea are all researchers with a high genetic match... It's obvious what they're up to!
"Researchers with a high genetic match are more likely to undergo lizard genetic modification. However, in the initial experiments, transplanting lizard genes was not an option. You deliberately caused the shipwreck! You threw us into the sea and stranded us on a nearby deserted island. This is the territory of the Lizard People, and they are in estrus. Are you hoping... to have sex with them and give birth to a child with lizard genes?"
The senior sister praised: "You are right. But the shipwreck was not caused by us..."
Yu Mo sneered, "That was all your fault! The teacher started planning this voyage a long time ago, taking advantage of the dangers of the Devil's Sea, making the researcher your target, disregarding his own life. If the truth is revealed, it won't be your fault, but a shipwreck! Senior sister, how could you do this? We are all colleagues, Huang An, Lin Qing..."
The senior sister was silent, and the electronic screen was still playing, changing from the initial experimental project to the scene in the forest, with scenes of Huang An hiding from the lizard man before his death, and scenes of other colleagues being eaten, with screams incessant.
The senior sister spoke slowly, "Yu Mo, I understand that it's hard for you to accept, but Teacher Li and the senior management of the institute have discussed this matter. We have no other choice but to follow orders. If it succeeds, it will be a win-win for us."
"You have no other choice. Either complete this mission, or..."
After the senior sister finished speaking, she took a step back. Yu Mo frowned, and a huge iron cage suddenly rose up around her, trapping her inside. Yu Mo stood in the middle with a cold face, clenching her fists and said, "Senior sister, I need to think about it. Are you going to lock me up like this before you have an answer?"
Teacher Li appeared, still affable, like the grandfather next door. "Think about it this way! When we first came here, didn't we all agree to dedicate ourselves to science? Now is the time when we need you, so you can't refuse. I remember you have a younger sister at home. If you complete the mission, you'll get a large bonus. Even if you fail, your family will receive preferential treatment!"
This was a threat, but Yu Mo remained calm and asked, "What does the teacher want me to do?"
"That's great. You're my student, so let's discuss this. Besides, this isn't harmful," Teacher Li said with a smile. "Your survival on the deserted island wasn't down to luck, but the help of the lizardmen! Since they won't hurt you, it's easy to deal with. I've been worrying about this for the past few days, and now there's one in the lab. Once you're well, go get some contact with it!"
The words were very explicit. He meant that Yu Mo should take advantage of the Lizard Man's estrus period and have sex with him.
This matter is risky. Not to mention that the lizard man may die when he goes crazy, just look at the attitude of Teacher Li. He completely trampled her dignity underfoot, as if she were an animal, and could be bred at will!
Yu Mo sneered. The little affection they once had for teacher and student had long since faded away. She gritted her teeth, making a crunching sound. Her expression was very ugly, and her eyes were green, like a mad lizard man.
Teacher Li was frightened by her stare and brought up her family threats again, then encouraged her, "You must be obedient and complete the task. There will be benefits!"
"I will definitely listen to you!" Yu Mo responded.
What else could she do? She was locked in an iron cage, and even leaving the lab was difficult, let alone confronting Teacher Li! But she still felt uncomfortable. This was her personality. If she was bullied, she would definitely retaliate. If she didn't retaliate, she would be so angry that she would die.
In the following days, Yu Mo cooperated very well. Whether it was eating or physical examination, she did whatever Teacher Li asked her to do.
Teacher Li looked at the test results and said, "Alright! The Lizardman's sex hormones have reached their peak. Send her inside." After all, he was the only highly compatible researcher at the moment. He said, "Keep her safe. If there's any danger, activate the button immediately."
In order to appease the emotions of the lizard people, Kobai's laboratory is surrounded by trees, flowers and plants, and their living habits are simulated. Huge rocks are set up, and the lizard people's limbs are tied with iron chains and there are iron rings around their necks. The iron rings are connected to the power supply. As long as the button is pressed, the lizard people will be stunned by electricity.
The door closed behind Yu Mo. The laboratory was small, and she was only two arms' length away from the lizard man. She could smell a dirty, foul smell mixed with blood. The scales on the lizard man's body were hard and faded at the top, indicating that he must be very old.
Yu Mo clenched her fists, her fingers crackling. She casually glanced at the camera, her eyes briefly meeting with Teacher Li behind the screen, a sneer flickering across her lips.
She approached the lizardman, who looked at her warily, making a threatening whining sound in his throat, baring his sharp teeth, and his huge tail stood high behind him, as if ready to strike her at any time!
Yu Mo noticed that the chains that bound his limbs had been loosened, and only the iron ring around his neck could control him. Before entering the laboratory, she cooperated very well and told him all the characteristics of the lizard man she observed on the deserted island.
Lizardmen have a strong sense of smell, and the smell emitted by women during egg secretion can arouse their desire. Therefore, after a short period of contact, the lizardmen have been aroused by the smell emitted by Yu Mo and have become a little manic.
Yu Mo seized the opportunity and dodged to the corner when the lizard man pounced towards her. The lizard man's tail hit the incandescent lamp on the ceiling, shattering the lamp tube and the room suddenly became dark.
Yu Mo did not shout for help. Her night vision had improved, perhaps due to Min Xi's influence, or perhaps for other reasons. In the dim room, she could clearly see the lizard man walking towards her.
The room was silent, with only the lizard man's wheezing and breathing. Yu Mo shouted, "Teacher! Quickly knock it out! It's coming towards me and grabbing my feet! Help!"
In fact, the lizard man didn't touch her at all. She just used the lizard man to smash all the luminous objects in the house, even the video footage of the camera was destroyed.
At this moment, the screen image in Teacher Li's room was very blurry. Even though the camera had night vision function, it was still very unclear.
Senior Sister was anxious, "Yu Mo is in danger, I'll press it!"
"Wait a minute." Teacher Li said calmly, "Does her tone sound dangerous?"
The senior sister was stunned for a moment, then thought of something and shook her head: "We have seen how the lizard man attacks. He attacks directly. Even if he calls for help, it is a sudden cry. But Yu Mo..."
Yu Mo's voice was strange. Although it was a cry for help, it sounded more like a mixture of fear and a cry of being flirted with. Through the blurry image, one could see that the lizard man was right next to Yu Mo, but he didn't kill her. Instead, he slowly approached, as if doing something...
Teacher Li sighed, "It's a shame I can't see the process! Ask someone to see if they can repair it remotely."
As for Yu Mo, she was indeed in danger, but she had long noticed that the lizardman's attitude towards her was strange, and he seemed to be afraid of her. She guessed that it was because of Min Xi's scent remaining on her body.
She approached the door. Although she did not have permission to enter or leave the laboratory, she had been in and out of here for a few days and knew the password to open the door. She quickly entered the command, and the door of the laboratory slowly opened. The light from the corridor came in, and the light shone into the lizard man's eyes, which suddenly became angry!
Then it jumped out so quickly that you didn't have time to react.
Yu Mo curled up in the corner, looked directly at the camera, and slowly revealed a bright smile.
