Chapter 67: The Humanoid Weapon of the End of the World 4

From the moment he arrived at the bottom and saw Lu Fei for the first time, Yao Rong realized that something was very wrong with him.

The center of the bottom floor was as big as a basketball court. It was originally filled with various high-tech instruments related to life genes, but now, all these instruments have been smashed by humans, and all that can be seen is a ruin.

Outside the ruins, dozens of security guards were lying here and there. The

remaining dozen or so security guards who were still able to stand maintained a defensive posture and surrounded a person.

The surrounded boy was wearing a silver-white lab coat, with soft hair dripping down his forehead, his hands hanging at his sides, and a thin body. He looked well-behaved and harmless, and didn't look like the person who caused the tragedy in front of him.

However, when Lu Fei seemed to sense Yao Rong's breath and suddenly looked in her direction, Yao Rong held her breath almost reflexively.

Lu Fei had a pair of eyes that were completely inherited from her.

No matter how bad his character was, when he smiled, his crescent-shaped eyes reflected the clear spring water, always looking innocent and gentle, making it hard for people to say anything accusing to him.

But these eyes disappeared.

They turned into cold, animalistic golden vertical pupils.

When she was stared at by the pair of vertical pupils, a sense of danger suddenly rose from her back, like a prey being stared at by a predator.

The human instinct for survival made her subconsciously want to retreat.

But the mother's instinct made her rush forward without hesitation.

——He was now stronger than ever before, so strong that no one present could subdue him, but she knew that he was also in more pain than ever before.

So Yao Rong rushed directly to the central control panel.

However, the central control panel had been smashed long ago, and many parts fell down, covering the central control panel tightly. Yao Rong had no way to find the chip controller in the first place.

She had to use all her strength to push away the buried objects on top. As the dust rose, she searched with her eyes and hands, and finally touched the chip controller in the shape of a game handle in a groove near the inside.

The chip controller is made of special materials, and the outer shell is very hard and intact.

Yao Rong inserted her ID card into the chip controller and gained temporary control.

After doing this, Yao Rong turned and rushed towards Lu Fei, ignoring the obstruction of the security personnel, and approached Lu Fei step by step.

Just when she came in front of him, he fell down heavily with his head in his arms.

Yao Rong squatted down, unplugged the test tube, and wanted to feed him a sedative.

As soon as the mouth of the test tube touched Lu Fei's lips, he seemed to smell some danger and began to struggle violently.

His strength was too great, even though Yao Rong was prepared, he was knocked unstable by him, and half of the sedative in his hand spilled all on the ground.

After hesitating, Yao Rong lowered her head slightly and whispered his name in his ear.

"Lu Fei."

-Lu Fei, don't be afraid.

-No need to be afraid anymore.

He seemed to be no longer afraid. The hands that were tightly holding his head loosened unconsciously, and the tip of his nose twitched slightly, as if he was trying to identify her breath, like a lost puppy looking for its family, with confusion and fear on his face.

Yao Rong pulled out a new sedative again.

This time, when the mouth of the test tube touched Lu Fei's lips, he did not struggle as violently as before. He just sniffed twice, and then turned his head to the other side with a little disgust.

This action was very similar to what he did every time he was sick as a child and she forced him to drink Chinese patent medicine.

Yao Rong quickly pinched Lu Fei's nose, then poured the test tube into his mouth, and let him drink the sedative without leaving a drop.

This crisp and neat movement was definitely the result of feeding Lu Fei Chinese medicine again and again.

After a few seconds, the golden vertical pupil dimmed a little, and the pair of eyes that Yao Rong was familiar with reappeared again.

Lu Fei stared at Yao Rong blankly, with shock in his eyes.

Yao Rong smiled at him lightly and patted his shoulder soothingly.

Lest Lu Fei reveal his flaws, Yao Rong turned around and took the initiative to greet the security captain: "Captain Zhou, he has regained consciousness." The

security captain's eyes lit up: "Dr. Yao, come back soon."

Dr. Yao?

Lu Fei ignored the shock and his eyes moved back and forth between Yao Rong and the security captain.

Yao Rong: "It's okay, his outburst should have ended and he's in a weak state. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to feed him the sedative smoothly."

The security captain stepped forward, holding his fractured right hand. After making sure that the crisis was indeed resolved, he breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you for your hard work, Dr. Yao."

Yao Rong said righteously: "It's not hard. You go and clean up the mess first, I'll stay here and take care of him alone."

After the security captain left in a hurry, Yao Rong asked Lu Fei: "Do you want to sit up?"

Lu Fei looked at her without responding.

Yao Rong helped him sit up, looked him up and down with a gentle expression.

"You probably don't know me. My name is Yao Rong. Everyone calls me Dr. Yao. I just came to this research institute six days ago and I'm currently the interim person in charge of the third underground floor."

"I've heard of your existence for a long time. Dr. Chen has always said that you are the most powerful humanoid weapon they have developed. I thought it would take some time before I could see the power of No. 9 with my own eyes, but I didn't expect to see it today."

Lu Fei lowered his eyes.

The ends of his hair were still dripping.

The water droplets slid down the contours of his face, leaving a shallow mark on the back of his hand.

"The potential of the human body is unlimited, but the degree of human body development is limited. Now your body's potential has been developed to a high level, so you will feel your body often has a tearing pain."

Lu Fei moved his palm.

No wonder he always felt that his body was torn apart by a certain force.

"If you want to survive, you'd better cooperate with us in the research for a while. You have to believe that we researchers are the ones who least want you to get into trouble."

To others, these words meant that the researchers valued the experimental subject No. 9 very much.

But to Lu Fei, they had another meaning.

He remembered that when this woman was tutoring him on his homework, she would always ask him impatiently if he was a fool, why couldn't he even answer such a simple question. He

originally thought she was smart, but looking at her now, how smart could she be?

There is nothing more stupid than running into someone else's base camp and walking into a trap.

Thinking of this, Lu Fei frowned slightly, and the golden light that had just faded in his eyes began to quietly emerge again.

[Your words seem to have irritated him...] The system detected something unusual and asked in confusion.

"It's okay." Is it

really okay? The system muttered secretly in its heart.

As if knowing what the system was mumbling, Yao Rong explained: "He is just worried that I will take risks."

After responding to the system, Yao Rong showed a very nervous attitude and held the chip controller tightly in his hand.

"Calm down, the chip controller in my hand can subdue you in an instant."

"I didn't use it before because I was worried about hurting you, but as long as you go crazy again, we will never watch you destroy the institute."

Lu Fei recognized this thing.

He pursed his lips, and the golden light in his eyes disappeared instantly.

Forget it.

Her status in the institute is obviously very high. She even got the authority of the chip controller. How could he, a test subject, be worried?

Oh, no.

How could he worry about her!

He was just stupid because of her behavior!

***

All the injured at the bottom were evacuated.

Yao Rong asked Lu Fei to stay here and have a good rest. She stood up, brushed off the dust on her research suit, and walked towards the security captain holding the intercom.

"System, hack into the chip controller."

Originally, it would take more effort to access the chip controller, but now, because of this accident, Yao Rong successfully obtained the authority of the chip controller. If she didn't take the opportunity to do something, it would be a waste of a God-given opportunity.

[Invasion in progress]

Yao Rong walked up to the security captain: "Captain Zhou, have you notified Dr. Chen and the others?"

"I have already notified them. Dr. Chen and the others will be here soon." The security captain smiled at Yao Rong, and then looked at Lu Fei who was sitting quietly in the corner, "Number Nine..."

"Don't worry, he doesn't even have the strength to stand up. It won't have any effect if I leave for a while."

"Oh, I saw Dr. Yao was talking to Number Nine just now?" The security captain said casually.

"After all, these experimental subjects are contributing to the genetic evolution of all mankind. I don't want to treat him with the attitude of treating a monster, so I tried to chat with him for a while."

Yao Rong also hinted that he was nominally concerned about the security captain's injuries, but in fact he was trying to find out the defense situation of the institute.

"Captain Zhou, I see that your right hand has been bandaged. This fracture should be easily healed if it is treated by a healing user. Don't we have any healing users in our institute?"

The security captain did not doubt Yao Rong at all and explained the doubts to Yao Rong with a smile.

There is actually a healing user in the institute.

But the healing system is an auxiliary system and it does not upgrade quickly.

In addition, the injuries caused by No. 9 were so horrible that even if No. 9 did not intend to kill anyone, several security personnel were beaten to death.

The healing user naturally treated those people first.

After doing all this, the healing user's ability was exhausted.

Therefore, those whose injuries were not fatal could only be treated by bandaging and applying medicine.

Yao Rong's mind moved.

She had carefully observed the injuries of these security personnel.

The lightest injury was a simple fracture like Captain Zhou.

But as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone, and the injuries of these security personnel are unlikely to recover in a short period of time. Even if these injuries did not affect their movements, their attack power would only be half at most.

***

Soon, Dr. Chen and a group of researchers arrived at the bottom level.

As soon as Yao Rong saw Dr. Chen, she immediately walked towards him.

Dr. Chen came over in person and said, "Thanks to Dr. Yao, No. 9 was able to calm down so quickly."

Yao Rong waved her hands and said without taking credit for it: "Dr. Chen, I came at a strange time. No. 9's strength has been used up by Captain Zhou and his men."

Dr. Chen had been in the monitoring room and knew that what Yao Rong said was true.

But Dr. Yao was really a man of high moral character.

He clearly wanted to give her a great credit so that she could gain a foothold in the institute more quickly, but she was unwilling to take credit for the work of others.

The security captain was treating the wounded not far away. As a person with superpowers, his hearing was much better than that of ordinary people, and he heard everything Yao Rong said.

He couldn't help but look at Yao Rong, with a grateful look on his face.

They, a bunch of security personnel, came to the bottom floor, but they couldn't subdue No. 9, and could only watch No. 9 destroy the bottom floor. If they really wanted to investigate, they, the security personnel, were actually negligent, but after Yao Rong's processing, they were credited.

Yao Rong, who won the favor of both parties with one sentence, was very calm.

There was no need for Dr. Chen to mention it, Yao Rong returned the chip controller directly.

"This thing is not used, now it is returned to its original owner."

"Also, I heard the assistant talk about the importance of this thing, Dr. Chen, remember to cancel my permissions on it. Just now, it was a special moment and special treatment, and now we still have to follow the rules and regulations of the institute."

Dr. Chen held the chip controller, and his favorability towards Yao Rong increased again.

He no longer had any doubts about Dr. Yao.

Just based on Dr. Yao's desperate attitude to protect No. 9, he could fully believe that Dr. Yao sincerely wanted to join the Ninth Institute and shine for the Ninth Institute.

- After all, as a person in charge, when he felt his life was threatened, his first reaction was to run away, just like other researchers.

The more this is the case, the more valuable Dr. Yao is.

Dr. Chen secretly calculated that in addition to the research on gene stabilizers, it was time to let Dr. Yao join in more core research and become his right-hand man!

Afterwards, Dr. Chen and other researchers walked up to No. 9.

The handling of No. 9 has become a major problem at present.

Now the nutrition chamber and various technological equipment on the bottom floor have been almost destroyed by No. 9's violence. Obviously, it is impossible to lock No. 9 on the bottom floor in a short time.

After discussion, Dr. Chen decided to temporarily lock No. 9 on the second underground floor.

However, this does not solve the problem.

Because no one knows whether No. 9 will get out of control again.

And the genetic instability of No. 9 has been rising.

Thinking of this, Dr. Chen has a headache.

At this time, a blond researcher found Dr. Chen: "Dr. Chen, isn't Dr. Yao studying gene stabilizers recently? I wonder how her research is going."

Dr. Chen saw the blond researcher and immediately said unhappily: "There is a research direction, but the research results have not been fully produced."

It was this researcher who suggested injecting the strength-enhancing fluid into No. 9.

A bastard who is not good at doing things but is more likely to cause trouble!

The blond researcher was a little embarrassed, but still expressed his idea: "Dr. Chen, why don't you let Dr. Yao join the experiment of No. 9. She can test the effect of the gene stabilizer on No. 9."

After a moment of silence, Dr. Chen nodded: "Not bad, you finally came up with a reliable idea."

Dr. Chen is a man of action. Since he has made up his mind, he immediately found Yao Rong and told her about the new arrangement for Yao Rong.

Yao Rong looked surprised: "This... I just came to the institute, and I have come into contact with such core secrets. Isn't it inappropriate?"

Dr. Chen smiled and said, "It's appropriate. This decision couldn't be more appropriate. I know that this task is a bit difficult and dangerous, but Dr. Yao, I hope you can agree to it."

Yao Rong clenched his right fist, put it against his lips and coughed softly, covering the corners of his lips that were about to curl.

"If Dr. Chen thinks I can do it, I have no problem. I will try my best to develop a gene stabilizer in the shortest time possible."

"Okay, okay, okay!" Dr. Chen said yes three times in a row, "In order to facilitate your usual research, why don't you live on the second underground floor. Of course, you are still nominally the person in charge of the third underground floor."

Yao Rong only had a backpack of luggage, and she quickly moved from the third underground floor to the second underground floor.

Her new room is larger than the room on the third underground floor, and there are no surveillance cameras installed.

Although Yao Rong can let the system directly block the surveillance, it is indeed a lot more convenient without surveillance.

After putting away the luggage, Yao Rong did not rest for a moment, and planned to go see Lu Fei again.

***

Lu Fei was taken to the second underground floor.

He originally thought that Dr. Yao was the person in charge of the third underground floor. With the strict management of the institute, it would be difficult for him to see her again.

Who would have thought that as soon as he arrived at the second underground floor, he saw her in a white research suit, sitting comfortably on the sofa.

And those researchers in charge of him stood respectfully behind her.

Lu Fei: "..."

It must be said that Dr. Yao is doing really well.

Is this the difference in IQ?

He only has good physical fitness, so he became an experimental subject.

She has a high IQ and a great reputation. It only took her six days to become a senior executive of the institute.

"The data in the nutrition chamber has not been set up yet. You sit down first and we will test some physical data for you." Yao Rong said, pointing to the sofa opposite him.

Lu Fei was pressed on the sofa.

The researchers behind Yao Rong swarmed up.

Some tested his blood, some tested his muscle density, and some tested his genetic instability...

Various data were quickly obtained.

Of course, the most concerned issue was Lu Fei's genetic instability.

Under everyone's gaze, the researcher in charge of testing genetic instability said solemnly: "Genetic instability has dropped to 26%..."

"Has it reached 26%?"

"His data was 3% a week ago, and 15% before he went crazy. Now it has dropped to 11% again."

"What's going on? Didn't they say that the power amplification fluid won't affect genes?"

"It's not because of the power amplification fluid. When he went crazy, he lost all his human rationality and was dominated by the beast in his body, so his genetic instability went up."

When Yao Rong just came to this world, Lu Fei's physical collapse value was as high as 95, but his genetic instability was only 3%.

But after six days, his physical collapse value is still 95, but his genetic instability has quietly risen to 26%.

"The genetic instability has reached 26%. What does this data mean?" As everyone was arguing, Yao Rong's voice suddenly rang out, slowly but surely, overwhelming all the arguments.

The blond researcher who recommended Yao Rong stood up and explained, "Dr. Yao, as long as the genetic instability of a test subject reaches more than 30%, they may mutate into a monster at any time. Even if they still have some human consciousness, their bestiality is far greater than their humanity." The

genetic instability of the test subjects on the fifth underground floor of this research institute is basically between 70% and 80%, and almost every day there are test subjects who completely transform into beasts and die.

The genetic instability of the test subjects on the fourth underground floor is basically between 60% and 69%.

The genetic instability of the subjects on the third underground floor is basically between 50% and 59%.

The genetic instability of the subjects on the second underground floor is basically between 40% and 49%.

It can be said that among the hundreds of subjects in the entire research institute, except for Lu Fei who is still normal for the time being, the other subjects...

can't even be called human species.

The blond researcher concluded: "Number Nine's condition cannot get any worse. As long as it reaches 30%, he will never be able to withstand the eighth evolutionary fluid, and he is definitely not the perfect human we want."

Lu Fei's face showed a hint of sarcasm.

Perfect human.

He is so lucky that one day he will have the opportunity to become a candidate for the "perfect human".

If he said this to Dr. Yao before the end of the world, he would definitely be laughed at by Dr. Yao and told that he was overthinking.

However, 26% is not far from 30%.

When his genetic instability reaches 30%, he will become a failed experimental subject. To some extent, this may not be a kind of relief.

But just when this thought of self-destruction came to mind, Lu Fei couldn't help but steal a glance at Dr. Yao.

He was relieved, but what about Dr. Yao?

How could she, who hated genetic defects and whose lifelong ideal was to solve human genetic defects, be willing to do human experiments? What

she hated most was human experiments.

So, it wasn't that he was being sentimental. After all, apart from him being here, Dr. Yao seemed to have no other reason to join this research institute.

If his genetic instability was as high as 30% or more and he turned into an insane monster, how would Dr. Yao escape from here alone?

A person who can't even kill a chicken, no matter how high his IQ is, will never be able to escape from the zombies outside after breaking out of this underground research institute. He can only become food for the zombies, and may even be infected and become a zombie.

By then, he will become a monster, and she will also become a monster, then it will be too miserable for both of them!

Forget it, he won't be freed.

He is so strong now, he would be stupid to want to be freed.

Just when Lu Fei was daydreaming, Yao Rong suddenly glanced at him, and happened to catch him peeking at her on the spot.

Lu Fei: "..."

Lu Fei quickly turned his head away.

Yao Rong asked the blond researcher to take Lu Fei down to rest first: "Your body has been exhausted. The most important thing to do now is to have a good rest. As for other things, don't worry too much. We will solve them."

Lu Fei paused slightly and restrained his impulse to look back at Yao Rong.
