Chapter 34
The person outside the door fell silent after he reached the door. I don't know what he was thinking. After hesitating for a while, that familiar and rough voice came.
Liu Xia’s judgment was correct. The person who came was indeed the native of District 9, the one-eyed woman.
"We mean no harm." The one-eyed woman's voice, as rough as gravel, came from outside the door. Eager to express her sincerity, she immediately brought up the topic everyone was interested in. "I know something about the human body laboratory."
The one-eyed woman must have heard what Ji Tao said before his death and knew that the three of them would come to the other side of the bridge to look for the abandoned laboratory of "Leviathan".
But how did she know exactly where they were?
This was the temporary resting place that He Tianlin and Ding Ruotong found. It was a place chosen randomly.
Liu Xia thought for a moment, then walked forward and opened the door halfway.
The one-eyed woman was standing outside the door, followed by two thin women, who were cautiously sticking together. They all had some changes on their bodies, but they didn't seem to have any attack power.
Liu Xia leaned against the door frame, blocking most of the space behind him, and said lightly: "Tell me about it."
"Uh..." The one-eyed woman didn't seem to expect the door to be opened so quickly. She looked at Liu Xia standing in front of her like a frightened animal. After a while, she organized her words and said awkwardly, "We are all failed products of the human laboratory."
Liu Xia did not answer, but continued to watch quietly, examining every move of the one-eyed woman.
The fur on the one-eyed woman's face glowed orange under the flickering bonfire, making it difficult to see her expression at the moment.
She didn't know what kind of power was contained in the woman in front of her, but she knew that this woman was very strong, and she wanted to get Liu Xia's help.
Liu Xia saw through this from their initial behavior outside the door, so she opened the door directly.
The one-eyed woman did not have a trace of resistance in her heart, but instead tried her best to prove that what she said was true.
He lifted up his tattered radiation-proof cloak, turned around in front of Liu Xia, took off half of the tactical vest inside, and exposed his most vulnerable back to express his sincerity.
He Tianlin was the only male in the room, and he had absolutely no romantic experience. When he saw this scene through the crack in the door, he couldn't help but look away. After thinking for a moment, he turned his gaze back, suppressed the embarrassment and shyness in his heart, and steadied the direction of the gun.
The one-eyed woman's back skin was exposed, and her strong body was covered with scars. A deep scar ran down her spine, and a rose-shaped mark was deeply engraved on her shoulder blade.
Seeing the one-eyed woman's actions, the other two thin women showed the scars and brands on their backs to Liu Xia.
This is the sincerity of their visit this time.
"I believe you." Liu Xia gestured for them to put on their clothes and kindly moved away from the door. "Come in and we'll talk."
The one-eyed woman looked at Liu Xia gratefully and nodded. At this moment, she had lost the hostility and ferocity she had when she prepared Ji Tao's body. From her hairy face, one could vaguely see that she was a beautiful woman. It was just unknown what she had experienced in the human laboratory that made her look like this, neither human nor beast.
The two people in the house also moved their guns away at this time, but they still looked alert and stood against the wall with weapons in hand.
After the three women squeezed into the room, the private room immediately seemed a little crowded.
"Please sit down." Liu Xia pointed at the massage bed in the room and looked at the one-eyed woman. "What's your name? Can you tell me what happened to you? I'm very interested."
The three of them followed Liu Xia's instructions and sat on the massage bed properly.
"My name is Zhou Wei." Zhou Wei rubbed her fingers together, somewhat flattered. Her already animalistic nails looked incredibly sharp. She hadn't expected Liu Xia to let them into the room, or even to be so friendly. "A year ago, I was a waitress at Paradise in District 4... The women who worked there were all women without hunting abilities."
"We were lucky enough to work at Paradise in District 4. Our boss was Yu Sisi. At least we could eat our fill. For people like us, just surviving was a luxury. So even though the work was incredibly hard, we didn't complain... Until one day, the boss gave us a box of potion, and everything started to change..."
Zhou Wei's claws unconsciously scratched the edge of the massage bed, and the pungent smell of disinfectant mixed with mutant drugs seemed to rush into her nose again. This was the mark of fear engraved in her genes.
…
A year ago,
Paradise,
"Distribute this batch of anti-radiation medicine to everyone." Yu Sisi, wearing a gorgeous long dress, flipped open a memo with her slender fingers and wrote something on it. "The supplies sent by City Lord Shen are the most effective. You are lucky to receive the first batch. Others are not qualified yet. Don't waste it."
More than a dozen girls looked excitedly at the box in Zhou Wei's hand, where rows of light blue potions were neatly placed.
If the body is exposed to radioactive dust for a long time, there will be more or less residual radiation in the body, which will cause ulcers and deformities on the body, and the chance of getting cancer will also greatly increase. Cancer cannot be cured under current medical conditions.
If you take anti-radiation drugs regularly, you can greatly inhibit the occurrence of this situation. Therefore, this drug is very precious and it is difficult for ordinary scavengers to obtain this material.
That night, all the girls who took the potion had a good sleep.
There were no problems at first, and everyone's bodies even seemed to become healthier because of the medicine. Until they were awakened by the biting cold and pain in their spines, the smell of disinfectant had filled the surroundings.
Zhou Wei and her companions appeared in a cold laboratory, with their hands and feet fixed to the cold iron beds and unable to move.
A transparent catheter is inserted into each person's spine, and a bag of light blue liquid is hung on an iron frame nearby, continuously flowing into the body through the catheter.
Yu Sisi, wearing protective clothing, looked at them coldly, ignoring the painful sounds. She kept wandering around the laboratory, filling the potion, observing the changes in everyone and making records.
For the next month, they had to drink 200ml of fluorescent potion every day, and the blue potion was continuously injected into their spine.
Gradually, people in the laboratory began to mutate. On the fifth day, the youngest technician, Xiaoyu, suddenly grew a scorpion stinger on his tail vertebrae. This mutation was very aggressive and he was quickly dragged away and destroyed.
As time passed, there were fewer and fewer people in the laboratory. On the 20th day, Zhou Wei's body also mutated, and a large amount of black hair covered her face.
Those who had undergone mutations were branded with roses on their shoulder blades.
Zhou Wei's mutation became more and more obvious, even her bones grew rapidly and became much stronger. It was because of this that Zhou Wei broke free from the iron bed in the early morning and rescued her surviving sisters.
Zhou Wei dug her nails deep into her palms, blood trickling down her fingertips. "After escaping Paradise, we hid in District 9. Now, only three of us are still alive."
