Plundering in the Apocalypse

Chapter 242 Gene Reagent!

?

Kenshun City.

Inside the underground research facility of SMUP, many researchers were gathered together, conducting an experiment on the new research subject brought by the black-suited Hunk and his subordinates. The Drillhorn deers.

"Dr. Garfield! The Gene Mutation reagents are ready!" A young researcher reported.

Dr. Garfield slightly nodded his head while his face was extremely serious. One could see various emotions, reflecting on his middle-aged face, nervousness, anxiety, hope, craziness, and most of all fear of failure. He didn't dare mess around and make any mistakes because he knew the consequences of failure. It will be something more torturous than death.

"The subject is anesthetized, right?"

To Garfield's question, a young researcher hurriedly reported.

"Yes sir, the dose is just right, and the experiment can be started anytime."

"Hmm,"

"In that case, let's start the first experiment."

At Garfield's command, all the researchers became active. Two separate chambers made of bulletproof 30 cm thick transparent glass were used in conducting this experiment. On one side, there was an unconscious Drillhorn deer, on the other side was a tied-up young man.

The young man was conscious and was looking at the researchers behind the transparent glass with resentment and extreme anger in his eyes. But he was unable to resist.

A week ago, he was kidnapped by these strange people and became a guinea pig for their experiments The treatment he received, such as being stabbed by multiple injections in a day and being tormented by tremendous pain. As if his cells were being replaced and his entire body parts were changing. For the last week, every day that passes, he only wishes to die rather than suffer so much torture.

No amount of crying, begging or even threats worked against these ruthless, inhuman, steel-hearted researchers. The only relief in his last week of torturous hell was that he wasn't alone going through so much pain. Many other people suffered as much, and even more than him, compared to those who have been suffering for the past few years, his amount of pain and suffering is nothing in front of them. His mouth was sealed, he couldn't even curse these people who were behind these cruel acts.

"Inject the serum!"

At Garfield's command, the female researcher behind him tapped on her computer a few times and the next moment, injecting machines appeared inside both the glass chamber. On the side of the Drillhorn Deer, a red serum was injected, and on the human's side a blue serum. The Drillhorn Deer was unconscious, so there was no reaction on his side when the serum was injected. But when the young man saw the blue serum appear in front of him, his eye widened, and his mind went numb.

He wanted to resist but no matter how much he tried he couldn't break free. He wanted to scream, cry and beg for mercy. But his mouth was sealed so only muffling sounds could be heard.

When the serum was injected the young was horrified. But to his relief even after a few seconds passed the expected pain didn't come.

Seeing that the serum was injected Garfield gave said, "Start the gene mutation on chamber one."

It was precisely the Drillhorn deer's side. A lot of clicking sounds were heard as the researchers activated the machine. There were also several researchers recording the data.

This time there was a change in the Drillhorn Deer. As soon as the machine was activated and the mutation of the monster's genes started. The unconscious monster woke up and started screaming in agonizing pain.

*ROOAARR*

Hearing the terrifying roar a young researcher trembled in fright.

"Hey newbie, get used to it."

Another researcher beside him patted his back.

"I-I am fine sir. It's just that the monster's roar surprise me a bit." The young researcher stuttered a little nervously.

The researcher behind him nodded in understanding and said. "Don't think too much. Just focus on doing your job and record the data."

"Yes, sir." The young researcher said while nodding.

On the other side, the young man inside the second glass chamber was scared to hear the agonizing roar.

'Am I going to be next?'

This thought made him even more scared. He couldn't help crying in fright.

Dr. Garfield was expressionless about everything that transpired in front of him. He didn't care about anyone's thoughts, nor did feel any sympathy for the young man who was going to be experimented upon soon. Even the monster's roar didn't make him flinch.

The only this he cared about was the results. Otherwise in a month, he would be the one to die by his own experiments and at the hands of his own colleagues and juniors.

So he doesn't have time to sympathize with others. He is already busy saving himself.

Under the process of Gene mutation, the monster's eyes were blood shots and green tendons appeared on its body.

*GRAAOOO*

His monstrous screams never seized down. The Drillhorn Deer struggled frantically in his bounds.

Severe wounds appeared on his body but he didn't stop resisting rather with all his strength he managed to break the chains around him.

Breaking free from his shackles the berserk Drillhorn Deer ignored his pain and bumped his horns at the thick glass in front of him. Ready to kill everyone.

Dr. Garfield wasn't much surprised by the monster's reaction. In the past few years, he had seen many failed experiments so he was already numb to it.

"Turn on the sleeping gas."

Hearing his calm tone the panicking researchers also reacted and composed themselves. Yes, everything is under control.

Next, a green gas was released inside the monster's chamber.

The monster, who was completely maddened, under the effects of the sleeping gas became a little drowsy and calmed down.

The low growls were still heard but under the powerful effects of sleeping gas. The monster couldn't take it anymore and fainted within a few minutes.

"Keep injecting the calming drugs for now."

Saying that Garfield's focus was on the data obtained from the current results.

"Mutation rate is only 10%."

Seeing this Garfield's brows furrowed. But he still kept the displeasure in his heart and focused on the human in the second chamber.

"Is his body condition stable?"

"Yes, sir!"

"Hmm, good. In that case, inject him with the new gene reagent which is combined with the Drillhorn Deer's DNA."

When the researchers around Garfield heard this they looked at him with shock and wide eyes.

All their movements stopped. They all wanted to say something but because of their position, they didn't dare speak a word. Helpless, they could only turn to look at another researcher who is just a position below that of Dr. Garfield.

The researcher with few hairs on his head and round glasses sighed. He understood everyone's eyes. But since no one dared to step forward only he could bite the bullet.

"Dr. Garfield the new gene regent was just extracted and has not been optimized properly. We don't know what kind of effects it may have. We haven't even tested it in other species. I am afraid."

Garfield raised his hand and stopped him from speaking further.

"Do you think I don't know the consequences you are talking about?"

Garfield's counterquestion made him shut up.

"We only have a month to complete the final serum. Until now we couldn't find a stabilizing factor for the serum. Fortunately, the cataclysm happened and we came across a unique monster species which can help stabilize the aggressive serum."

"As long as the serum can perfectly merge with Drillhorn Deer's DNA. The serum will be complete."

Although Garfield said with confidence. It was actually just a hypothesis based on the behavior of Drillhorn Deers he saw a few weeks ago.

Drillhorn Deers are regarded as nonaggressive monsters because of their herbivore nature. Unless provoked these monsters don't take the initiative to attack.

Though nonaggressive by nature they can't be considered harmless because of their huge attack power.

Their horn attacks are very dangerous. The only reason the Drillhorn Deer couldn't break through the bulletproof glass was because of the effects of the serum given to him before. Because of the red serum, the Drillhorn Deer couldn't gather the strength in his body and was weakened by 80% of his full strength.

Otherwise, all these weak researchers would have died within a minute.

For Dr. Garfield's explanation and confident words, the other researchers were helpless. He is their head. What can they do? Only agree.

Once again the researchers got to work and another machine was activated.

"The new regent is injected at the countdown of ten."

10

2

"And 1."

As soon as those words fell out of the female researcher's mouth. A purple gene reagent was injected into the young man inside the second chamber.

"Switch on the mana radiation device to fasten the gene mutation process."

The researchers followed suit.

And the next moment a bright blue light followed on the second chamber.

*AAAAAHHHHHH!!!*

"STOP IT!!!!"

*GRRAAAHHHHH*
