Chapter 116: The name of the potion is promote02, also known as...
"That's right. If you are bullied, you should find a way to fight back." Lenk looked at Sli and Slang more favorably.
Although these two brothers were experimental subjects and had good abilities, it was unknown what kind of torture they had gone through in the research institute that had worn away their hatred and comradeship. The whole insect was lifeless and did not have the temperament of a master at all.
He looks much better now. At least he no longer has that indifferent attitude of not caring about dying at any time.
Lunk patted Sly on the shoulder and said a few more words: "Brother, there's nothing insurmountable. Now that you're all out, don't think about dying or anything like that. Isn't life good? When we have difficulties, we solve them. There are always more solutions than problems."
"Even if you can't solve it, you can always hide. Worst case scenario, you can fight to the death. Anyway, you have to have the determination to: 'Even if I die, I'll still bite off a piece of your flesh.'"
"Right. We can't let them have it easy." Mellon also came over, put his arm around Slang's shoulder, and acted like a good brother. "You're right to listen to us. You'll definitely have a future if you follow us."
Since they were 10 years old, Sli and Slang have been living in the laboratory of the institute. The only time they were allowed to leave the institute was during the operation to capture Carter.
This resulted in them never having come into contact with insects other than researchers, and being seriously disconnected from the outside world.
In the research institute, they are experimental subjects, and Morse is not a kind researcher. In addition to enduring the pain brought by the experiments, they also have to satisfy Morse's dirty desires.
Morse was definitely not a good bed partner; he had problems in that area, which I heard was caused by failed experiments in earlier years.
Because he was not good at that aspect and his self-esteem was hurt, Morse became even more perverted. The ways of abuse he used were so many that Sli himself couldn't count them all. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to protect Slang from being abused by Morse, he might have given up long ago.
Apart from perverts like Morse, the rest of the people in the institute are not necessarily that good. Deception, contempt, and malice are the emotions they feel most. Therefore, Sli and Slang have never felt what kindness is since they entered the institute.
But because they have suffered so much malice, the two brothers have become masters at distinguishing true feelings from false ones.
They could feel that Mellon and Lenk's kindness was genuine, and there was no need for Mellon and the others to deceive such worthless experimental subjects.
I can do it, Melon and the others may not be able to see it, but Nan Qi and the Admiral are the real bugs with special abilities.
My ability is not worth mentioning in their eyes, and my identity is sensitive. Apart from knowing some things about the research institute, there is nothing they can plot against me. What is the value of being deceived?
So the two brothers, who had never felt kindness before, were suddenly exposed to this real kindness. Although they seemed fine on the surface, they felt touched, shy, suspicious, bitter and other emotions all surged up in their hearts and intertwined with each other, making them dizzy and unable to figure out what they were feeling.
To put it simply - mixed feelings.
Suppressing the complex emotions swirling in his heart, Sly feigned calmness and nodded: "I believe you. I want to live in the sunshine and see the evil Imperial Research Institute get its comeuppance."
"That day will come." Bai Chenwen said, "I promise you, as long as I live, I will investigate the Imperial Research Institute and expose their actions to the public."
After hearing Bai's words, Sli and Slang's cold hearts felt the long-lost warmth again, letting them know clearly that they were still alive.
This feeling was too wonderful, too wonderful to be real. Suddenly, Slang felt a dull pain on his face. He looked up confused and saw Mellon pinching his face. He smiled and said, "Does it hurt? If it hurts, it's not a dream."
Silang opened his mouth, and after a moment, the corners of his mouth raised, and there was a hint of sob in his voice: "It hurts."
"That's right, it hurts. It's real!" Melon raised his eyebrows. "I guess you don't dream of a bug like me who is handsome, elegant, suave, kind-hearted, and also extremely capable, brave, and resourceful!"
Silang: "...I'm not as good as you..."
Slang paused for a moment, then spoke carefully: "Such a narcissistic insect."
Mellon: “…”
The insects: "Hahahahahahaha..."
After some laughter, the atmosphere in the restaurant became harmonious. With delicious food and fine wine, everyone felt much more relaxed. Sly also talked more about the research institute. Among them, what caught Bai's attention was the experimental subject code-named 001.
He remembered that Sley had said that the limited potion that stimulated the special abilities of the experimental subjects was extracted from 001.
The importance of this 001 to the Imperial Research Institute is self-evident.
Unfortunately, only the core members of the institute knew where Subject 001 was imprisoned, otherwise he and Nan Qi could have tried to snatch the insects right under the institute's nose.
He just didn't know whether Fengshenghelilou in the black market had any information about the Imperial Research Institute's live experiments, but he guessed that even if Fengshenghelilou had it, it wouldn't sell it to him.
This is a secret that can shake an entire country. Fengshenghelilou is a neutral organization, and rashly intervening in a country's disputes is definitely not what Fengshenghelilou wants. Although it has the backing of the black market and will not face a catastrophic disaster, it would be annoying enough to have too many flies around. Why bother?
Throwing these messy thoughts out of his mind, Bai asked carefully about 001.
Sly: "I don't know much about 001. The fact that the drug that stimulates the special abilities of the experimental subjects was extracted from 001 was something Morse said... when he was satisfied after torturing me."
"Brother..." Slang looked at Sli worriedly. Sli patted his hands and said, "Don't worry, he won't be able to abuse me anymore. We are free."
Si Lang hummed, but his expression did not look very good.
The insects understood that the abuse Sly was talking about was definitely not ordinary abuse. Nan Qi even felt a little sorry for him and wondered why he hadn't just kicked Morse to death before. This Morse was really a piece of shit.
After a light cough, Nan Qi calmly changed the subject: "Have you been injected with the light blue potion?"
"We've been injected." This time it was Slang who spoke. "Among the drugs we injected, only one was light blue. It was called Promote 02, also known as Promote 02. We were injected once a week. The needle would be inserted directly into our brains. Every time we were injected, it was extremely painful."
Sly added: "The body feels like it's on fire, and the physical desires will be extremely strong. If you can't bear it, the final result will be explosion. Once we develop special abilities, it won't be so painful."
Nan Qi and Bai looked at each other. Although they knew that the laboratory under the sanatorium was related to the Imperial Research Institute, they still felt heavy-hearted when it was confirmed by Sli.
Pu Bo didn't think as much as the two insects. He frowned and thought about the video Bai sent him and the green powder that he, Nan Qi, brought back from the Insect King's treasure house.
He took the powder and began to analyze its components. There were two components that he couldn't identify no matter how hard he tried.
There was no other way but to conduct experiments to verify the effect of the drug. He then conducted thousands of experiments, and 99% of the experimental mice exploded and died, while 1% survived.
The overall manifestations of this 1% are: enhanced sexual ability, enhanced reproductive ability, enhanced physical fitness, and a growth trend in the already formed body. Apart from this, because the time is still short, he has not discovered any other symptoms.
Before, he thought that this was an aphrodisiac with significant medicinal effects. The fact that there were so many Insect Kings was probably due to the effect of this drug.
Because of the 99% failure rate, he still thought it was a problem with his own experiment. After all, the Insect King would definitely not put himself in danger.
Now it seems that there is no problem with his experiment, but that the blue powder does have a mortality rate of up to 99%, or even higher than 99%.
Suddenly, Pu Bo looked up and asked, "How long has it been since the last time you two had the injection?"
"It's been three days, what happened?" Sli was puzzled.
Pu Bo's frown deepened, and the insects' gazes fell on him. After a long while, Pu Bo gritted his teeth and said, "I suspect you must get an injection of Promote02 every week, otherwise your lives will be in danger."
He had very little Promote02 to begin with, and most of it was used for experiments. The remaining amount was not enough for him to figure out the specific dosage for Sli and Slang.
Sly was stunned, a trace of misery flashed across his face, and then he suddenly realized that this was also the way the Imperial Research Institute prevented the experimental subjects from finding loopholes and escaping.
There are no injections outside. Even if the experimental subject really avoids the anesthetic micron bomb and the deadly heart nano bomb, he cannot escape the death of the promote02 drug.
Sli was a little discouraged. Is this the fate of him and Slang?
Slang sighed, took Sli's hand on the table and shook him gently. Sli turned around and saw Slang smiling at him: "Brother, it's all good now, isn't it? At least, we can die peacefully and don't have to be bullied anymore."
Slang was open-minded. He glanced at the faces of the insects and turned back to comfort Sli: "Now that the admiral and the others know what happened to us and have promised to avenge us, we can't be too greedy."
"But you—"
"I'm fine. We came into this world together and will leave together. Isn't it perfect?" Slang raised his eyebrows. He looked so bright at this moment.
But such brightness hurt Arnold's heart. He also had a younger brother. If Carter died, he would not be willing to accept it.
"Is there nothing we can do?" Arnold looked at Nan Qi and Bai, "Let's think of another way."
Si Li also looked at Nan Qi with hope. He really didn't want Si Lang to die.
"Well, it's not that there is no solution." Nan Qi smiled slightly, but that smile seemed a bit evil no matter how you looked at it. "I can get the Promote 02 potion, but the dosage depends on you, Pu Bo."
Pu Bo's face lit up with joy. "No problem, leave it to me. I'll give them both full-body examinations when I get back. As long as I can find the amount of drug residue, I'll be able to calculate the dosage and concentration of the drugs they used."
Bai looked at Nan Qi with a smile and said, "It seems I have to find a suitable excuse to go to the palace tomorrow."
