"Is that it?"
'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin's voice was filled with dissatisfaction.
"Yes," the white-robed demon said.
"This is the 133rd uncontrollable mutant that we've discovered after being infected by 'Demon God VI'. In the best state, the cells inside the mutant can survive for three to five days. When they encounter 'prey', they will decompose all the cells inside their internal organs and transform them into powerful energy, which will be released as a high-pressure bloody mist.
"The mechanism is similar to that of the 'Cell Obliteration Cannon'.
"Even an ordinary person can achieve a one-time attack equal to that of a Cultivator through such a method. It is quite a tough uncontrollable mutant.
"However, such an attack can only be performed once or twice before the cells of the uncontrollable mutant completely wither.
"As for their shortcoming, they are the same as other uncontrollable mutants. They usually move slowly or simply stay still. Also, they wither too quickly after the attack, which makes them less infectious.
"Most importantly of all, their brains are long dead. They do not listen to our command at all. They can only cause temporary chaos, but they cannot be used as a perfect weapon."
'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin sniffed and asked, "How is the experiment on Demon God VII going?"
"Right now, we are testing Demon God version 6.8.1," the white-robed demon said. "In the second beta test of the version, the instantaneous death rate is 65%. The odds of transforming into uncontrollable mutants after death is 32.5%. Only 2.5% of them have achieved perfect evolution."
'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin said coldly, "The success rate of only 2.5% is too low. What Elder Nether Spring wants is not a bunch of uncontrollable monsters but a well-trained, absolutely loyal army that will snowball and expand itself nonstop! The success rate must be increased to at least 5%! "
"Understood!"
The white-robed demon said, "Although the success rate doesn't increase by much, it's still very effective. "Although the success rate is not very high, the controllability of this batch of 'perfect evolvers' is much higher than that of the previous versions!"
"Is that so?"
'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin rolled his eyes. "Let's go and take a look!"
At the end of the pathway, there was a cell with double glass walls. Inside a prison cell that was particularly solid, a handsome, angry demon was pacing back and forth anxiously.
The moment he saw 'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin, the demon was as mad as a tiger. It lunged forward and knocked thousands of electric arcs out of the defense rune array!
He was bounced back brutally, with almost ten burnt scars on his body, but he did not notice them at all. He pointed at 'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin and cursed aloud in fury!
Li Yao was secretly shocked. This monster had a head of thick golden hair, a lion-like nose, and a wide mouth. In the depths of his pale golden eyes, there was a hint of blue.
Those were the symbols of the blue-eyed lion clan, the royal family of the Kingdom of Lion Butchers!
Elder Nether Spring was truly insane. He even dared to kidnap a member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Lion Butchers, his staunch ally, for experiments!
This Blue Eyed Lion Race member was seething with anger, his blood vessels surging, his chest rising and falling like bellows, but he was still alive and kicking, not dead yet.
'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin grinned hideously. He narrowed his eyes and mumbled to himself. With profound brilliance beaming out of his eyes, he stared at the man.
Then, a strange scene occurred!
This blue-eyed lion. At first, he had burst into fury and roared nonstop. But a moment later, he seemed to have been hypnotized. His arms were slightly dangling, and his face was blank. He was looking at Lu Wuxin with both admiration and zealotry, like the fanatics who were willing to die for the belief of a true god!
Then …
His blue eyes were dyed red, too. Thick veins protruded out of the surface of his body, and his body expanded to twice its original size. Countless bone spurs protruded out of his spine, arms, and knees, as if he had put on a suit of armor that was full of iron nails!
The two canines on the upper jaw of his bloody mouth were almost three times longer than before. They were as sharp as sabers and could even pierce through the Crystal Suit easily!
Huchi … Huchi … Huchi …
After every breath, gray fog would spurt out of the blue-eyed lion's mouth, which hovered around him and did not disperse for a long time.
"Aooo!"
The blue-eyed lion roared crazily and summoned almost a hundred phantoms that filled the entire prison cell.
Dozens of deep claw marks immediately appeared on the wall!
'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin's lips slightly twitched. The blue-eyed lion suddenly came to a stop. He lowered his arms and bashed his head at the crystal wall brutally. Zi! Zi!
"Zi Zi Zi Zi!"
Zi! Zi! Thousands of electric arcs spurted out of the defense rune arrays. His pupils were enlarged, and his blond hair was standing on end.
But he seemed to feel no pain at all. He charged at the wall again and again, not stopping until his skin was broken and his blood was flowing everywhere.
"Pa!"
'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin snapped his fingers. The blue-eyed lion shuddered violently, as if he had just broken free from a nightmare. The bone spurs and the bulging veins retreated into his body, and his cloudy eyes gradually became clear again.
His skull was deeply dented, and he had a splitting headache. He held his head and rolled on the ground, not even having the strength to curse. His blue eyes that were still bloodshot were filled with desperation.
"Not bad."
'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin nodded in satisfaction. "I did not feel any resistance from his soul at all when I manipulated him. Also, he is much more active than before. As long as I issue a simple command, he will search his memories and experience in the past to carry it out.
"Also, his speed and strength have been significantly improved. They are at least 150% stronger than before!
"Such an army is exactly what Elder Nether Spring needs!"
"That's not all," the white-robed demon said smugly.
"The latest version of the Demon God Virus has perfectly modified the respiratory system. Right now, a lot of the Demon God Virus is contained in his saliva, blood, and breath. If the enemy is bitten, scratched, or hit by his blood, or if they are engaged in a melee battle with him without any protective measures, they will be infected by the Demon God Virus and become our weapons, too!
"However, the current version is not resistant to high temperature and cold yet. It is easily suppressed by the incendiary bombs and the freezing rune arrays. We hope that the problems can be further improved in the next version."
'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin said, "Excellent, but you must be fast. It won't be long before the Demon God Virus is deployed to a real battlefield for the first time! "
Their voices were getting lower and lower, as if they were discussing a specific technical issue.
Li Yao's heart was getting colder and colder. It was almost frozen into a block of ice. Broken into almost twenty pieces.
That explained a lot. What a bullsh * t 'third life form'? What a bullsh * t 'god that is above human beings and demons'!
As it turned out, the success rate of such 'evolution' was only 2.5%. The rest of the infected people were either killed on the spot or their brains were already dead. They were the 'uncontrollable mutants' that only the cells could survive!
Even the 'perfect evolutionaries' that had been strengthened were merely the slaves of Elder Nether Spring and the rest of them. They were at their mercy!
"This is too horrifying. The blood, saliva, and breath of the 'perfect mutants' are highly toxic and highly contagious!
"Once they spread out on a large scale, countless people in both the Blood Demon Sector and the Tian Yuan Realm will die. Countless people will turn into monsters. Even more people will become their slaves!
"Damn it. This is even more conquests than the Imperium of True Human Beings. An even more dreadful future! "
While Li Yao was secretly gritting his teeth, the white-robed demon seemed to have received instructions from 'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin and turned around to leave.
Li Yao did not want Neltharion to stay with 'Mad Medic' Lu Wuxin for a long time. Therefore, he simply followed the man.
The man, on the other hand, took a lift and went all the way up to the ground.
Neltharion and the man dashed out of the building together. It was not until then that Li Yao finally saw the general layout of Elder Nether Spring's nest.
It was a world of ice and snow outside of the building. They were on a lone island surrounded by swirls. Surging tides were surging nonstop, and enormous icebergs were crashing into each other. As far as the eye could see, the horizon seemed to have turned into an unfathomable abyss. It was hidden in the dark mist.
The lone island was as long and narrow as a dumbbell. It was narrow in the middle and wide on the two sides. They were at the south of the island.
The part of the building that was exposed to the ground was no more than twenty meters tall. It was covered in snow and thick ice. It was impossible to see it from the sky.
There was also a half-submersible devilish warship landing platform nearby. Under the cover of the floating island that was disguised as an iceberg, three enormous devilish warships were docked. It was quite inconspicuous.
Neltharion followed the white-robed demon all the way to the north of the island.
The place turned out to be a camp of captives of an enormous scale. Hundreds of captives were 'patrolling' in the freezing wind. There was no telling how many more captives were in the underground buildings below the island.
Li Yao adjusted the resolution of the crystal cameras on Neltharion and observed the captives carefully.
Those captives were not the warriors of the Blade of Chaos that had just been captured.
Even in the temperature of minus ten degrees Celsius, they were only wearing thin prison clothes. Taking advantage of the simple and crude conditions, they cultivated meticulously without a single hair out of place.
Most of the captives were tall and strong. They could be vaguely divided into two groups.
The captives on the left side were mostly human beings. Many of them had tattoos on their faces and arms that were popular in the Union Army. From their eyes and the way they walked, it was obvious that they had been trained hard in the army, too.
However, their capability was much higher than that of any special army of the Federation that Li Yao had ever seen. Many of them punched out supersonic punches casually while yawning, which lasted for dozens of seconds and tore apart the air time and time again!
Seriously? Since when did the Union Army become so tough? Li Yao secretly clicked his tongue.
The captives on the right side, on the other hand, were mostly the Horn Clan and the Claw Clan from the Kingdom of Lion Butchers. There were also a lot of Insect Clan and the Feather Clan, too. They seemed to be a small coalition army of demons.
The captives of different species had been captured by Elder Nether Spring for experiments. Many of them were heavily wounded and deformed.
Even so, the barrier between the two sides was still very deep. There was an invisible 'boundary river'. Many of them looked at the opposite side with hatred across the 'boundary river'.
"As I expected, they are really the Union Army. They are my compatriots and comrades!"
"I have to figure out a way to get them out!"
After discovering Elder Nether Spring's horrible experiments and discovering that so many of his compatriots and comrades had become captives and test subjects, Li Yao's fury and determination soared to the peak! —
