Chapter 107 Observations at the Research Institute
Long Yangyang glanced at An Xin from afar with her watery eyes, wondering if the superpower crystal core implanted in An Xin was of the initial level, or if any superpower crystal core, no matter how high its level, would revert to the initial level when transferred to an ordinary person.
“Subject #2 is at risk of mutating into a zombie, and may even advance to level 8. If the experiment fails, I will need to select a new subject. Since your experiment is over, you can come with me to take a look.”
Long Yangyang listened expressionlessly as Fu Muyu imitated Professor Wang's words, thinking to herself, "Brother Fu is indeed a veteran of the special forces who has experienced countless battles. His words are so impeccable."
"Is that alright? Thank you, Professor Wang." Under the researcher's grateful gaze, he led the two outsiders, Long Yangyang and Fu Muyu, to the area where the superhuman test subjects were located.
"Professor Wang, all the experimental subjects with superpowers of level six and above are here. Because of their high level, they all live in separate quarters."
Long Yangyang looked at the room isolated by lapis lazuli. The white lapis lazuli walls and the glass, made of some unknown material, were so strong that even a level seven superpower could not damage them.
The materials in this research institute are significantly better than those circulating at the Qingdu base. If it's not the military, then it must be related to the government.
As for why no one suspected the military's influence, it's simply because the information was too good. Given that Long Ye and Long Yuanchen are such doting fathers and sister-obsessed individuals, even if it were a matter of secrecy, it's impossible for them not to reveal any information.
In Long Yangyang's room, there were also lapis lazuli bricks given to her by Long Yuanchen, who said they were for decorating her room and increasing its hardness.
The most obvious difference is reassurance, and researchers' attitudes toward reassurance.
Professor Wang looked at Marshal Qian Sen, whom Fu Muyu mentioned, with the same gaze a normal person would give an ant, except that his eyes also held a hint of curiosity and inquiry.
During the experiments, the researchers' eyes held not only inquiry but also a hint of respect.
"Four level seven ability users and ten level six ability users?"
Upon hearing Fu Muyu's words, the researcher replied, "There have been torrential rains for some time now, and the supernatural 'crystallizations' in the base have all stayed indoors and haven't gone out. Our people haven't been able to find a suitable opportunity to store up supernatural 'crystallizations'."
"After Subject 1 advanced to Level 8, Professor Du took him away for research. He didn't reveal what kind of experiments were being conducted. Professor Wang, Level 7 ability users are quite rare. Perhaps you could choose a Level 6 subject next time?"
"What did you say?"
Hearing Professor Wang's cold tone, the researcher felt a chill run down his spine. "I'm sorry, Professor Wang, I overstepped my bounds. What does losing a few Level 7 ability users matter for the sake of your research? We'll replenish them soon."
"Ah."
The researcher breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Professor Wang seemed to have no intention of pursuing the matter further.
The top professors at the research institute are all incredibly powerful and capable, and the things they research are the most bizarre.
If you don't meet their research needs, they might turn you into their experimental material in the next second. The superhuman crystal core implantation experiment that the researchers are currently working on is one of Professor Wang's research projects.
Fu Muyu walked around the fourteen superhuman test subjects but didn't see any familiar faces like Marshal Qian Sen. He didn't know whether these people were sent to the research institute before or after the apocalypse.
"Buzzing—"
Just as Long Yangyang and her companion were about to leave, they suddenly heard a strange rumbling sound.
Upon hearing the voice, the researcher's tone shifted to seriousness as he said, "This is bad; an outsider has entered the research institute. Professor Wang, please be careful. It's best not to leave here. I'll go check it out."
Professor Wang is one of the most outstanding researchers in the institute; we cannot afford to lose him in the slightest.
They were currently in the storage room for advanced superhuman test subjects. To prevent these superhumans from escaping, the security measures in this storage room were among the highest in the research institute.
"Yangyang, let's take this opportunity to see what's going on at this research institute," Fu Muyu suggested after the researcher left.
Long Yangyang nodded. Before they arrived, the highest level of ability in the base was only level three, but in this research institute, there were many level six or seven ability users. Moreover, judging from the tone of the researcher just now, these high-level ability users could be trained.
As for how they are trained, given the occasional disappearances of ability users from the base, Long Yangyang could easily guess that they are advanced using ability user crystal cores.
I just don't know if using a superhuman crystal core to advance is the same as using a zombie crystal core, requiring a superhuman crystal core of the same level.
After the two went out, Long Yangyang took out Professor Wang's ID card, and the two quickly opened the door to the next room. Long Yangyang and Fu Muyu exchanged a glance and were surprised to find that the room was full of high-level zombies.
“Five level eight zombies, ten level seven zombies, and twenty level six zombies.” This was the first time Long Yangyang had ever seen so many high-level zombies. Even if Long Yangyang and Fu Muyu joined forces, they might not be able to defeat the zombies in this laboratory.
Long Yangyang thought that the people at this research institute must have gone mad to raise so many high-level zombies and keep them together.
“These laboratories should have the function of isolating the atmosphere,” Fu Muyu said. The zombie horde is clearly hierarchical, with high-level zombies and low-level zombies in a relationship of domination and subjugation.
Two high-level zombies of equal rank, unless they are mental zombies, will inevitably fight for the position of ruler until they die.
“Look at the appearance of these level eight zombies. Apart from their bluish skin and lack of color, if you ignore their blood-red pupils, they are basically no different from humans.”
Long Yangyang pointed at the level eight zombie and whispered to Fu Muyu.
“However, his language function has not recovered.” Fu Muyu said, listening to the roar of the level eight zombie. “His intelligence will definitely increase, but I don’t know how much it will recover.”
They sneaked in here, so they didn't have time to study these things.
“It’s good enough to know this much. Let’s go check out the other labs.” Long Yangyang pulled Fu Muyu toward the next room. They needed to figure out what this research institute was researching.
"What is this? Beast-like ability users? So many?" Long Yangyang looked at the single room in the next laboratory, which was half-human and half-beast. She counted them and there must be more than a hundred people. Long Yangyang had only heard Long Yuanchen mention this kind of ability before.
This is the first time I've actually seen it.
"No, look at the one on the far right. Aren't there stitches between his arm and claw?"
With Fu Muyu's reminder, Long Yangyang naturally noticed the incongruity of these half-human, half-beast beings. "Are they conducting human experiments? And they're all superhumans!"
Long Yangyang did not ignore the supernatural energy fluctuations emanating from these people, which was why she initially thought they were beast-like superhumans.
