Chapter 90: Doomsday Humanoid Weapon 27
Lu Fei put the little boy on the seat and fastened his seat belt for him.
He was somewhat thankful that the little boy and other experimental subjects had all been injected with sedatives and were temporarily unconscious, so they did not have to face these sharp words.
But he was also somewhat annoyed that he always seemed to be too careless in doing things. He should have covered the little boy's face with his coat before coming out.
But the emotion that finally surged into his heart was powerlessness.
Even if he was temporarily unconscious, so what? Even if he remembered to cover the experimental subject with his coat, so what? This was just self-deceiving comfort.
The experimental subject would eventually wake up, and the public would always notice the appearance of the experimental subject.
It was already late at night when the experimental subject was brought back to the Central Research Institute.
Usually, the Central Research Institute, which was still brightly lit at this time, now had almost no people walking around.
After Xiao Bai's accident, troops have been coming to the Central Research Institute to arrest people and take away various materials. Everyone in the Central Research Institute is in danger and naturally has no intention of working seriously.
Lu Fei searched for a long time before finding a senior researcher and asked him to make room for these experimental subjects.
The researcher was a little embarrassed.
"This is what Dr. Yao Rong Yao meant." Lu Fei emphasized.
The researcher moved faster and found an unused room: "Lieutenant Colonel, it's not that I don't want to take over the experimental subjects. Most of the security forces in our institute have been withdrawn. If these experimental subjects behave violently after waking up, we won't be able to deal with it."
Lu Fei said: "I will tie them up tightly."
The researcher was still worried and confirmed with Lu Fei again and again: "I heard that the physical fitness of these experimental subjects is comparable to that of high-level psychics. Can we guarantee that there will be no problems if they are tied up?"
Lu Fei understood his concerns. Although he felt it was unnecessary, he still said that he would leave two subordinates to guard here.
The researcher felt a little relieved and asked, "Besides providing a place to keep them, what else do we need to do for them?"
"... inject them with nutrient solution every day to maintain their body functions."
The researcher asked again, "Is that all we need to do?"
"Yes, that's it for now. Don't worry, we'll just be detained here for a few days, and once the people above take action, we'll come to discuss how to save them."
The researcher closed the door of the room and led Lu Fei out. Hearing Lu Fei's optimistic statement, the researcher tried to hold back, but couldn't help but whispered, "Their bodies have mutated to this extent, and there must be serious problems with their genes. Changes at the genetic level are the most difficult to reverse. How can we save them..."
The researcher spoke quickly, and when he finished this sentence, he wanted to seal his mouth with tape.
Hey, his mouth, he hasn't been able to move up a step in all these years, isn't it because he always likes to say inappropriate things.
I just hope that this lieutenant colonel won't be so irritable, and don't take his words to heart.
Lu Fei was indeed not angry.
He knew that the researchers had no ill intentions, and he also knew that what the researchers said was true.
In fact, he knew much more than the researchers.
Before he escaped from the underground research institute, he heard people from the underground research institute say that
when the genetic instability of an experimental subject reaches more than 30%, it can mutate into a monster at any time. At that time, they still retained human consciousness, but according to the definition of humans at the genetic level, they were already another kind of creature.
He had experienced the same unfortunate experience as these experimental subjects, and he could clearly understand the personal pain of these experimental subjects, but he was much luckier than them -
when his genetic instability almost broke through 30%, he was rescued by Dr. Yao.
So with the help of gene stabilizers, he can gradually recover to be a normal human being.
These experimental subjects have lost the chance to become normal humans forever.
Lu Fei said softly: "No matter what, I will trouble you for the next few days. If I am free, I will come to see them."
The researcher sighed and assured: "No problem, I will take good care of them. They are all poor children."
After leaving here, Lu Fei returned to the sewer without stopping.
"Why did you come so quickly? Why don't you go back to the villa to sleep first?" Song Xiuping complained.
Lu Fei asked with a smile: "Are these experimental subjects awake?"
Song Xiuping was just complaining. Now that everyone is here, why should he rush back? "Some of the stronger ones have recovered and awakened. I will take you to see them."
The awake experimental subjects were being closely guarded.
Lu Fei did not let Song Xiuping follow him, but walked up to them alone, and under their wary gazes, he sat cross-legged in front of them.
"You are the strongest among all the experimental subjects, right?"
No experimental subject replied.
They all recognized Lu Fei.
In the previous battle, this young boy knocked down half of the experimental subjects by himself, and several of them also fell into his hands.
Lu Fei seemed to suddenly remember something, and took off his military jacket casually, leaving only the thin short-sleeved shirt inside.
"We are regular soldiers belonging to the Southwest Base, and our number is the Southwest First Army."
Lu Fei spoke in a relaxed tone, as if chatting with a friend of the same age: "Don't look at my young age, but my military rank has reached Lieutenant Colonel, and I am currently the commander of the Southwest First Army."
"You know how strong I am."
"I may not be older than you, but how about we make a deal? From now on, you will recognize me as the boss and help me control those who are still unconscious."
A girl with elk antlers, who looked the youngest, glanced at Lu Fei and quickly moved away.
But Lu Fei still caught her gaze and spoke more vigorously.
The elk girl wrinkled her nose and finally couldn't help it. She tried twice to speak, her voice soft and hoarse: "You are so long-winded."
Lu Fei: "..."
If this wasn't a little girl, he would have rolled up his sleeves.
Oh no, he did hit the little girl yesterday in order to subdue them.
"Although you are noisy, I don't hate you." The elk girl said again.
Lu Fei smiled and asked, "Why don't you hate me?"
The elk girl pointed to her eyes.
Since she was captured and taken to the underground research institute, she has seen countless pairs of eyes.
Greedy, indifferent, disgusted, and vigilant.
Only this pair of eyes was so peaceful. Even when he tried to knock her out, the emotion in his eyes was not fierce, but a hint of sadness.
Another tiger-like boy with half of his face covered with fur suddenly said indifferently: "Since you can control us, why don't you kill us?"
Lu Fei asked back: "Why should I kill you?" The
tiger-like boy's voice became particularly sharp and excited, attracting the attention of everyone around him: "You should have killed us directly. Do you think this is for my good now? Do you think I need your pity? If you are really so compassionate, you should kill me now! Oh, if you don't want to play the role of the bad guy, it doesn't matter. Untie the rope on me and I can commit suicide!"
The people whose attention was attracted spoke up one after another to persuade him.
"The underground research institute has been caught in one fell swoop, which means that from now on you can get rid of the control of the underground research institute and regain your freedom."
"Yeah, don't you want to go home? Your family must have been looking for you."
"The worst time is over. Don't worry, the base will not ignore you."
The tiger-like boy smiled sarcastically, closed his eyes and did not speak again.
So those voices that were just persuading also returned to silence.
Only the howling wind in the middle of the night passed through the vast wilderness under the stars and echoed faintly.
Like crying and complaining.
It was as if someone was in the middle of the night, suppressing himself, but still accidentally cried.
Why is it so sad to regain freedom?
Is it true that they have guessed the ending.
Aliens, alien species, high risk... Is this a foreseeable tragedy?
Lu Fei didn't know.
He just thought that if even he, who had the same experience as the experimental subjects, didn't stand up and do something, then these experimental subjects, after escaping from the insane human experiments, would once again be caught in a large-scale public opinion murder from the moment they were rescued.
No wonder he went to find Dr. Yao today, and Dr. Yao was so busy that he didn't even have time to say a few more words to him.
It turns out that post-disaster reconstruction is far more complicated than ending the disaster.
Saving is also far more troublesome than destroying.
Lu Fei turned around and slightly pressed down his collar, revealing the old scar that was hidden.
Ordinary people may not know what this scar means.
But the elk girl and the tiger-like boy understood.
Because there was a black chip controller buried deep in the same part of their bodies.
"You..." The tiger-like boy was shocked, "Who are you?"
Lu Fei said calmly: "You probably don't know me, but my code name in the underground research institute is number nine." "
Your body..." the elk girl whispered.
"My skin has turned into scales, and my eyes have turned into golden vertical pupils."
"I can't tell at all." The tiger-like boy said.
However, a trace of expectation flashed in the eyes of the elk girl.
Ignoring the abnormal part, her facial features are actually very beautiful.
A girl of her age is also the most beautiful.
Lu Fei looked at them seriously and emphasized, "I don't want to deceive you, nor do I want to give you any impossible recognition - I am an exception. I can recover to this point, but it is difficult for you, and you may even remain like this forever."
The hope that had just been ignited was extinguished again, and the elk girl lowered her head.
"I know what you are afraid of."
"You are afraid of the strange eyes of others, you are afraid of seeing disgust in the eyes of relatives and friends - because sometimes, even you yourself will think that you are a monster."
"I am right. Because I used to think of myself like this."
"But ah..."
The night wind was surging, the dust was rolling, Lu Fei held his hands behind his back, and the corners of his lips and eyebrows were bent together.
"My mother told me something."
"She said that compared to the thousands of test subjects who died, I survived the pain, gained strength, and gained freedom."
"How can I and you be monsters?"
"We are the miracle of life."
Many test subjects who woke up one after another heard these words.
The psychics who were guarding the fire also heard them clearly.
Yao Rong was wearing a windbreaker. It was unknown when she came here or how long she had been standing by the fire.
The firelight and the starlight fell into her eyes, so when she looked at Lu Fei, her eyes were always filled with a gentle and approving light.
"Perhaps the most difficult thing in the world is to change people's prejudices. However, we have such a powerful force in our bodies, why can't we use this force to try to overcome prejudice?"
"I have been in the Southwest Base for four or five years. I have never killed a good person, never done a bad thing, and have made countless contributions. No one is afraid of me. Instead, they admire the power I possess."
"You may think that I can reverse prejudices because I look no different from a normal person and because no one knows what happened to me."
Lu Fei raised his wrist and pulled off the fake game bracelet: "Then don't worry, I will tell everyone when I go back that Lieutenant Colonel Feng Kui, who is known as the strongest man in the Southwest Base, is actually an experimental subject named Lu Fei."
"I will always stand with you on this matter."
