Chapter 40: The Laboratory
Lin Xi didn’t know the situation he was currently in.
It takes months for the fetus to form, so he may have been in the nutrient solution for a long time.
However, during this period of time, he lost all knowledge of the outside world. He didn’t know what happened in the laboratory nor what happened outside the experimental tower nor did he know what happened to Mu Yechen after he left the command room that day.
At this time, the female administrator lifted his chin with a cane and forced Lin Xi to look at her.
“Number 01, where is your surveillance officer?” She was aggressive.
Lin Xi didn’t say a word. He was wetly tied to the steel frame, his eyes were covered by long white hair and only the unfocused pupil can be seen.
His silence angered the female administrator and ordered someone to throw a bucket of ice water on Lin Xi’s head.
“Number 01, let me ask again. Where is my son Fu Yibo?”
She mentioned Fu Yibo.
The guy who likes to play with him.
“The mutants and the surveillance officer want to act together. Number 01, Xiao Fu didn’t follow you back to the laboratory? Did you fail to protect him?” Dr. Ameka, who Fu Yibo mentioned before his death, was also asking.
Lin Xi didn’t expect that he had been imprisoned in the nutrient solution for a long time and was salvaged because of such a thing.
He was shivering from choking on the ice water but suddenly laughed.
“You came to torture me, is the lab not wanting the fetus in my stomach?” he asked hoarsely.
Ameka’s face changed slightly.
Lin Xi saw her expression and speculated: “It seems that the leader is not here today, when will he come back?”
The leader is the absolute leader of the laboratory. Sure enough, after Lin Xi finished speaking, Ameka’s expression became very nervous.
Only the female administrator are not afraid of the head.
“Lin Xi, don’t use that dead head to intimidate me.” She raised her hand and slapped Lin Xi’s face with a cane, her voice become fierce, “I’ll ask you again, where is my son?”
Lin Xi’s head was beaten to the side.
He coughed a few more times, spit a full of blood and said with a voice that was mocking but dejected: “Administrator, didn’t you already know the result when you came here? No one can survive for a few months outside the other side… Don’t you know how much your son weighs?”
He said, seeing the distorted face of the Western District administrator with hatred, he smiled novelly again.
“You all know that the surveillance officer and the mutants fought together but Fu Yibo gave me all the work and I couldn’t finish it. The surveillance officer even broke down his car in the desert, and let me be one of them. When he didn’t want to walk, he let me carry it, when he didn’t want to do the task, he let me do it alone… Just such a person, I think it was too satisfying for him to die.”
He said with his eyes glaring like torches.
“He has never been my surveillance officer. My surveillance officer has only been Mu Yechen from beginning to end.”
Yes, only Mu Yechen was alone.
Lin Xi’s words resounded in the monitoring room.
There was a brief silence in the room and after a while, the distorted voice of the West District administrator broke the silence.
“Sure enough, it’s you, it’s really your plan!”
“Fu Yibo is my son, he is my flesh and blood. He even happily told me that he would go out with you that day but you, a different species, actually killed him.”
“Hahaha… Mu Yechen? I heard that you are carrying Mu Yechen’s seed, you still probably don’t know, did you!?”
“He dares to openly send troops to besiege the laboratory he is no longer the savior of mankind. When the leader captures him this time, I wonder how he will be dealt this time.”
Lin Xi finally heard the news about Mu Yechen again, his eyes lit up little by little.
“Number 01, it looks like you like Mu Yechen very much.” The West District administrator hated the man in front of him and shouted, “But I don’t have a son anymore, I want you to taste the loss of a loved one!”
As she spoke, she suddenly raised her hand to aim at Lin Xi’s genital cavity and jabbed it down with her cane.
As long as this cane goes down, even the strongest mutant can’t protect its fetus!
She must make this man suffer!
However, someone stopped her.
“Ameka, why did you stop me!” The voice of the West District Administrator became sharper.
The person who stopped her was actually the female doctor who came with her.
“Sister, Number 01 and his embryo are both laboratory subjects.” She forcibly grabbed the administrator’s cane.
“But he killed my son!”
“Yes, the original agreement to bring you into the laboratory was to track down Xiao Fu’s whereabouts and now we all know about it.”
“Get out of the way, he killed my son.”
“Xiao Fu died, I’m also very sad but sister, you can’t touch the embryo in No. 01’s stomach.”
“Why…why? Ameka, he killed my son!”
The West District administrator asked angrily but in exchange, Dr. Ameka was more determined to block.
“Sister, I’m from the laboratory. The embryo in No. 01 is the key to unlock the evolutionary direction of human beings in the last century.”
She said, drawing a diamond-shaped symbol on her chest with her other hand.
“Sister, the Human Evolution Laboratory has always been the ultimate goal for the interests of mankind. We cannot make any mistakes.”
“No, I’m just a mother, he killed my son, I must kill him!” she said, directing the two men next to her to step forward.
The people in the West District immediately understood. They used the chain around the executioner’s neck and pulled it tightly behind the steel frame.
Lin Xi was immediately pulled up by the chain and he made a struggling sound, his limbs fluttering desperately in the air.
“I must kill you!”
Seeing Lin Xi’s eyes start to twitch and turn to the floor, blood and saliva flowed out of his pale lips. The administrator’s voice was full of revengeful pleasure and madness.
But she didn’t see the slit on the back of Lin Xi’s back.
It struggled to open from the naked body, and gradually detected a vine with thick arms. The vine grew in the air and suddenly ejected, quickly hitting the human being next to it.
“Ah-” A scream suddenly came from the monitoring room.
A blood hole was ripped open in the human protective suit and a vine that was crawling like a snake, slowly emerging from the human body and began to slaughter the next human.
Another scream…
The iron chain fell and Lin Xi finally recovered from the hanging.
He coughed loudly and the vines behind him raised their bloody tentacles again, like a cannibal tongue.
“Haha…haha…” Lin Xi coughed and laughed again, raising half of his eyes to stare at the Western District administrator in front, “Administrator, you can’t get revenge. It’s been three hundred years, and you actually think that you are taking human life. Your strength can’t kill a formed Xenogeneic…”
The frantic look on the West District administrator’s face stiffened little by little, replaced by unbelievable despair.
“I would like to thank you for freeing me from the captivity of the leader.”
He said and suddenly pierced the throat of the Western District administrator with his alienated power.
Three human corpses were immediately left on the clean white floor. The nutrient solution and the blood were turbid, making the whole ground filthy.
There was only one human left, Dr. Ameka.
She dared not move.
Lin Xi was staring at her head with vines.
The human experimental body finally regained consciousness and split another vine to tear off the chain on his body. He was about to be successfully released from the steel frame.
Ameka stood and watched, unable to resist.
“Number 01, you can’t do this. With your current physical strength, you will die if you leave the laboratory.”
Lin Xi didn’t hear it, he broke the shackles successfully and his skinny and slender feet stepped on the blood on the ground.
“Dr. Ameka, I don’t want to embarrass you.” He picked up the administrator’s cane and supported himself, like a limping old man.
“Where are the head and Mu Yechen now?” he asked calmly.
“Number 01…” Ameka called Lin Xi’s code name like every time she issued a mission but when the words came to her mouth this time, she finally fell silent.
“Lin Xi.” She changed her name again.
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at her.
Dr. Ameka replied again: “Lin Xi, I know that there is a deep bond between you and Commander Mu but you must not leave the laboratory. You are the hope of the humanity. If the mutants leave the other side together, the evolutionary path that the other side has finally explored will be directly interrupted. At that time, not only will our plans be in vain but human beings will also go back three hundred years ago, there is a possibility of us being extinct at any time. “
“Mu Yechen is negotiating with the leader about your disposal right now but your fetus has been determined to be a humanoid, we can’t give it to a layman like him.”
She said with a little hope in her eyes: “Our world has reached the critical point of life and death. Lin Xi, I also watched you grow up with my own eyes, you are also a human being, I hope you can understand the difficulties of the laboratory. “
It was the first time that she said so many things other than the mission. Lin Xi listened and suddenly laughed in a low voice.
He finally heard Mu Yechen’s movements.
But he also heard about his own sad life.
“Dr. Ameka, I also wished that I was a normal human.”
In the last century, this is a world of different species, full of flowers, and different expressions.
But none of these belong to him.
He’s just a Xenogeneic bred in captivity by humans.
And he became the first “dog” around human beings.
Ameka was shocked, she didn’t understand Lin Xi’s words.
But there seems to be light in Lin Xi’s words, as if there is a post-apocalyptic era illuminating mankind.
But she didn’t have time to figure out the root cause of all this.
Lin Xi started threatening her with vines.
“Dr. Ameka, please go to the laboratory with me.”
“Lin Xi, do you want to take me as a hostage?”
“Doctor, you are the leader’s right-hand man. I think it sees you as a hostage, you will also listen to what I have to say.”
“Lin Xi, I am different from you and Mu Yechen. I am from the laboratory and will never betray the laboratory.”
The female doctor stood there. Without moving half a step because of Lin Xi’s coercion, she suddenly reverently made a diamond-shaped sign on the other side towards her chest again and suddenly, she took out a sharp knife from her pocket.
“Ameka!” Lin Xi’s pupils suddenly tightened.
He wants to stop.
But Ameka has raised the scalpel and inserted a knife into her temple.
“Thud-“
The female doctor also fell.
Her eyes were frozen, her pupils dilated beyond rescue.
Lin Xi was the only one left in the monitoring room.
Standing in the blood-soaked room, he stared blankly at Dr. Ameka’s corpse for a while, then finally staggered to his waist, took off her isolation gown and put it on his body.
He also put on the isolation helmet of the humans in the West District and reopened the door of the monitoring room.
Outside the surveillance room, there is a long, dark corridor.
Lin Xi leaned on a cane and walked with difficulty until he reached the end of the corridor, when he finally saw a ray of light.
At this moment, the experimental tower suddenly vibrated violently. Under the ground, there was a sound of “bang” from the base of the experimental tower. The lights outside the corridor instantly fell into the fluctuation of light and dark switching.
In the laboratory, the alarm buzzed and the staff in the isolation suits at the end began to run in a panic.
Lin Xi took a deep breath. He gently stroked his bulging belly, firmly mixing in the crowd.
No one in the chaotic laboratory noticed his slow movements, he groped all the way, and finally came to the door of a test room.
This is where the laboratory holds the subjects.
He quickly entered the code, unlocked it, walked through cage after cage and suddenly heard a voice of a young mutant.
“Y-you are…” The young mutant turned around and looked at the man in the isolation suit in front of him in surprise.
In the isolation helmet, there is a half atavistic appearance.
The young mutant covered his mouth and his voice leaked out in a low voice: “Ah, you are Xiaobai!”
Gu Yang exclaimed in surprise.
At this time, Gu Yang’s hair was already half long.
He grabbed the cage excitedly and the moment he opened the room, there were even a few wolf howl-like hallucinations in his ears.
Lin Xi raised his eyes and made a gesture towards him.
“I promised your brother that I would take care of you.”
Gu Yang’s eyes become sore, he found that Lin Xi’s hand had also turned into a branch of tree, which was a sign of dying.
But he didn’t dare to cry in front of Lin Xi and only nodded. He then quickly put on the isolation suit brought by Lin Xi and followed behind him
He watched Lin Xi skillfully open the door, followed Lin Xi through many complicated doors and then came to an unguarded vent in an experimental tower.
Outside the vent, is a snow-white world.
Lin Xi raised his eyes, looked at the plain covered in silver and then saw the military camp of human activities in the plain white in the plain.
“Ah, it’s the same as that year again.” He murmured as he looked at the world.
“Xiao Bai, let’s go quickly.” At this moment, Gu Yang urged.
Lin Xi shook his head gently, the air exhaled from the isolation hood turned into a thin mist.
“You go first.” He suddenly raised his hand and touched Gu Yang’s head, his eyes swept across the snowy scene of the morning light again.
“I won’t run away this time.” He said in a low voice.
