Chapter 240: Chapter 240 Operation HB
After a few weeks,
Inside the deep underground laboratory, a few figures hurriedly passing through the special corridor,
"Help me, please release me."
"Get me out from here."
"I will give you everything."
The figures ignored the begging of young and old captives in the surrounding cages located on both sides of the corridor; they passed by them and walked inside the lift.
"Professor Leon, I am pleased to hear that the operation HB is successful."
The man in suit spoke expressionlessly, looking at the researcher standing beside him wearing a white robe, while the lift descended slowly toward the deep underground floors.
"Thank you, head of the base; it wouldn't be possible without the base and your support. After 67 trials in these few weeks, we finally found a way to merge human and beast genes. Humans will once again thrive and dominate this world," Professor Leon replied with a mild smile on his face.
The head of base nodded, taking deep breath; a flicker flashed through his eyes.
Soon the lift opened, and a lot of researchers are running around in a huge, spacious area with invisible secure cells. There are humans with different features inside these cells.
The head of the base glanced at everything around expressionlessly; he ignored all these cells containing humans with beast features; he appeared in front of a cell with a human who has no obvious beast features like those others.
"He looks like a normal human; you really succeeded."
The head of the base spoke, his eyes lit up, looking at a young boy wearing a school uniform lying unconscious on the special seat inside.
Professor Leon appeared and stood beside him and explained,
"I followed my theory about that blood hunter; I tried evolving human parts instead of the whole body; that's why I chose those beasts evolved from normal animals; these beast evolution structures are similar to those of the blood hunter."
The head of the base was surprised and then asked suspiciously, "So the beast also evolves in parts, not whole bodies; then how will you explain their hideous appearance and giant size?"
The Professor Leon nodded and then pointed at the dead mouse in a cage with protruding three crystal-like spikes from its back.
"The common evolution part in mice is their bones, but these mice like to chew anything; it probably ate some kind of glass shard of crystal. That's why the bone spike behind it's back is made from crystal, and most surprisingly, this mouse is E-Level with three spikes behind it's back."
After speaking, the professor then pointed at the dead Python with scales made from brown wood and explained,
"This snake's evolution is its skin and scale; it was hunted down when it was sleeping coiling around a tree branch."
The head of the base nodded with surprise flashing through his eyes, then he raised his head and glanced at the boy in the cell. He asked thoughtfully,
"What kind of catalyst did you use in order to merge the genes of these beasts with humans? Is it safe?"
"After all these trials, I found out that the virus inside the monsters can be used as a catalyst; it is safe because these monsters are evolved from humans; both beasts and monsters are evolving in different directions; that's why they hunt each other as resources."
"As for the effect, after the beast and monster virus merges, it merges the human and beast genes also and then promotes the evolution of genes in a positive direction, but for now only one part can be evolved, and it's the blood of a human. Just like that blood hunter, if you exceed the specific requirements, then the human will transform into a beast."
The professor Leon elaborated further, looking at the schoolboy in the cell.
"We have been observing him for the past few days; everything about him is normal; his strength is increasing at an alarming rate; his blood and gene evolution are promoting and toughening the other body parts as well."
The head of the base nodded thoughtfully, and then his gaze deepened. He asked again.
"How much time will it take to create a safe version of this HB evolution potion?"
"HB evolution potion? Well, it's a nice name; we will call it that after today, as for duration, if I get a few hundred more gene samples of different beast species and a few thousand experiment candidates, then I will definitely create a perfectly safe evolution potion without any side effects. Also, you can get a variety of evolution potion, not just one."
The professor Leon replied with a smile on his face, looking at the schoolboy in the cell.
"No problem; I will arrange all these, and you will start getting these experiment candidates by tomorrow, and those samples will be retrieved in a week at most."
The base head spoke, looking at the professor, and then he turned around and walked away toward the lift.
The Professor Leon turned and glanced at his back thoughtfully, and then he glanced at the dead mouse in the cage, turned, and glanced at the boy lying on the operation seat.
"I wonder if your genes will inherit it or not." He murmured with a playful smile materialized on his face.
…
Meanwhile, a few thousand miles away,
Lin Lee, sitting cross-legged in the middle of another city with a lot of corpses lying everywhere around him on the streets below and in the surrounding buildings,
While red spikes are flying around searching and targeting the low-level monsters with thin threads attached to their back end,
Burst!
A skull shattered and a spike pierced through the head, then outside the window it flew toward the building in front.
Lin Lee controlled all the spikes and followed the black spots in his sense, killing all those two tentacle monsters one by one.
"It's a waste of resources to keep these low-level monsters without evolution potential; they are reducing the resources that can be used by other high-potential monsters in order to evolve further toward higher levels."
Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully, observing that the black dots belong to first-level monsters and are reducing at an alarming rate in his sense. It's been a few weeks since the beginning of the evolution frenzy, yet they haven't even evolved into level two yet.
Instantly, his body shook, and a status panel appeared in front of him.
[Status Panel]
Name: Lin Lee
Age: 18
Level: 6
Physical Power: 1 Million
Spiritual Power: 1 Million (locked)
Talent: Blood Stacking
Skill: Blood Control
Skill: Pulse sense
Skill: Blood Burst
Instantly Lin Lee felt a new skill introduced in his mind along with his previous two skills enhanced, and their range expanded to a few hundred miles around him.
"Blood burst can double my powers for a small duration, but after it's effect wears off, it will reduce my basic power by 50% temporary for a while; it's a useless skill; there won't be a situation in which it will be useful."
Lin Lee muttered and then shook his head, then felt his pulse sense expand a lot; now even surrounding city creatures are under his radar and control, including his blood control, which enhanced a lot.
Lin Lee raised his glance in the direction of a large supermarket, while a lot of swift red flickering flashed through the whole city, even passing through everything, piercing through the skulls of all low-level monsters.
"I am feeling a little hungry; it's dinner time," Lin Lee muttered thoughtfully and then jumped down from the building and landed on the street.
The next moment, he walked forward and patted the SUV. Instantly, blood covered the whole vehicle body. A red-layered armor appeared with hideous red spikes protruding out in front and back.
Lin Lee started it and raced toward the building in front of him, piercing through the wall.
Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!
One by one collision echoes spread through the whole city, and a red vehicle domineeringly passed through everything toward its destination without stopping.
Meanwhile, inside the supermarket floors, human figures were standing near the doors and windows with guns and rifles.
"This bald guy is really a bastard; he is enjoying food and girls, bossing us around without giving us a proper meal, while we are securing his ass here." One of the middle-aged figures in guard uniform whispered angrily, looking at his companion, an old guard beside him.
"You should pay attention to the surroundings when speaking ill about him; he was a gangster in this city, and after the end of the law, he became more lawless and unrestrained, and you can't do anything about it. You have seen those dogs around him fully equipped with advanced weapons; they are securing his ass we aren't; he has given us these guns and rifles with limited bullets just to keep an eye on those monsters outside, and he is keeping an eye on us; see that camera above your head; it's live and watching our movements, anyway; you are new; you will soon understand the rules here."
The old guard replied while pointed at the camera in the corner.
The middle-aged guard's face changed looking at the camera and then fell silent and didn't say anything.
