Chapter 921: Professor He who isn't human
Within Professor He’s lab, this person who had merged with a beast and reached level eight was lying on a lab bed. His body was covered with various skin grafts, and in some crucial areas, there were soft tubes. He looked like an experiment.
In truth, Professor He was an experiment product. Around him were dozens of researchers doing things on him. This level eight lifeform would twitch suddenly or show extreme pain.
“How is the data?”
As he lay down, he couldn’t see the data, so he asked. But his voice was very hoarse; it sounded like metal rubbing on the ground.
A helper looked at the situation and replied, “Everything is normal; it is even better than expected.”
Another helper who followed him from God Hall injected a bottle of liquid into his body. This caused him to grunt. It was obvious that he was in extreme pain.
But that pain passed quickly, and a form of release replaced it. As if it was very comfortable, Professor He had a look of enjoyment on his face.
“Scoff, you think you can just give me basic data? Apart from Liu Zhenghong’s second-stage experiment, I think the science behind this gene lab is just so-so.”
The few helpers looked at each other, but no one replied.
They didn’t deny that Professor He and God Hall had done well regarding gene results, but it was very extreme for him to say this.Not to mention how the research focus was very different; God Hall’s research was more on putting together mutated lifeforms, while Cloud Peak's was in terms of modifying lifeforms. The former focused on creation, and the latter on modification, so it seemed like they were more amazing than they were, but things weren’t judged like that.
If you could create a perfect lifeform that was the same as nature without any flaws, of course, creation would be amazing. But the truth was that the Pink Ball, which was the best being they created, had to rely on nutrient liquid to survive. Moreover, it was always asleep and would only wake when fighting. If not, it would be hard to control it, and its body might break down.
How was that a perfect creation? You were just using glue to stick parts of various lifeforms together and then releasing it to see how long it would last for.
The only amazing part would be to obtain the gene and nurture those parts. You had to modify the gen sequences to create similar colors and shapes and make the lifeform you created easier to look at.
Cloud Peak was different. They were modifying and researching how to replace the evolution potions. If they succeeded, humans would be able to break free from the wheel’s control. At that time, people might be able to develop a nine-star evolved in a short period of time.
Of course, this was just an idea. It might take many years to reach that level.
All of them were scientists, and they knew the material difference. Naturally, they wouldn’t agree with Professor He.
But they knew their position, so they wouldn’t debate with him about these pointless things. They lowered their heads to do their own things and acted like they heard nothing.
Professor He saw that no one replied him and was slightly affected. But he thought about something and asked his helpers.
“You mentioned that you saw Lu Lan being captured. Is their second stage experiment on researching Lu Lan’s reshaping problem?”
An assistant didn’t know how to reply and could only say, “That is possible.”
He laughed, “Hehe, it is just a simple clone technology, and Cloud Peak doesn’t know it. I told you they aren’t that good.”
The oldest assistant said, “Professor He, we need to inject something into your heart, you… Do you have any instructions?”
Professor He stared at this middle-aged helper and terrified him so much that he shivered.
“Do you remember the method to deal with it?”
That middle-aged assistant replied quickly, “If it stops, inject two units of berserk potion. If it slows, inject three units of the snake king energy gene. If it speeds up, based on the speed increase…”
He said a series of methods, which caused Professor He to nod, “Begin!”
Very quickly, some liquid flowed into the tubes that were in his body. Professor He’s body started to shake slightly.
The assistants that were prepared took their sharp daggers and opened Professor He’s chest to reveal his ribs as well as a… Black heart!
An intense stench surged at them. Even with masks, the assistants nearly fainted. But they were prepared and calmed themselves down. The middle-aged assistant took a potion from a mini cooler and injected it into a metal syringe. He added other herbs, and after looking at the data, he injected them into the black heart.
Professor He reacted quickly. Everyone broke out in cold sweat, but they continued with the plan. The entire lab was busy, but that stench got thicker and thicker.
The bed was covered in black blood when the mysterious experiment was close to completion. Normal humans would have bled dry, but Professor He’s eyes were still open. Not only wasn’t he dead, he was wide awake.
Sew, pull out the tubes, record data, experiment complete.
Professor He sat up right away. His snake tail was thicker than before, and the terrifying wound was healing at a visible rate and disappeared quickly. Moreover, green scales squeezed their way from the skin, making the scenes very weird.
When everything stopped, his aura was huge. His strength had increased again.
But, he was… Less like a human.
“Very good, very good. I am not weaker than that level eight king. Hehe, a while later, this and everything that belongs to Ye Zhongming will be mine!”
Afer saying that, he glanced at his assistants. His tail swept, and an assistant was tangled. Professor He bit his artery and sucked his blood.
The others were so terrified that they lay on the ground. One could only hear the sound of blood being sucked.
