Yue Zheng sat ramrod straight. He was even more upright than he was in class.
It wasn't that he wanted to sit like this, but the metal ring on his neck was constantly releasing a weak electric current that paralyzed the central nervous system. It made him unable to muster the slightest bit of strength from head to toe. He was in whatever position the others were in.
He felt more like a patient with high paraplegia who was placed in a wheelchair with the other two members of Team C. He was controlled by the men in black suits behind and beside him as they walked through the long corridor and entered this unfamiliar room.
Then he saw the people in groups A and B and saw that they were similarly paralyzed. He also saw the catheters extending from their bodies and the blood flowing through them.
A whining sound rang in his ears. It came from the two fellow sufferers, and perhaps also from himself.
The situation didn't change according to Yue Zheng's will.
The guys in groups A and B before him were treated a bit better than them. At least they had sofas and carpeted floor to lie on. They could only sit in wheelchairs and lean against the wall, shoulder to shoulder. Their hands and feet trembled as they waited for misfortune to descend.
Yue Zheng didn't know what was going on at all.
In the beginning, he didn't know who had ordered these expressionless men in black suits to suddenly attack them, knock down Old Liu, take away their communication equipment, and bring him here alone.
Now that he entered this suite, he saw the floating mass of flesh that seemed to be slightly wriggling. He also saw the catheters, blood donors, and equipment. He also saw the middle-aged white man who was half-lying on the bed and receiving a blood transfusion...
He had an answer to the previous series of questions.
But he still didn't know where this guy came from.
It was an extremely terrible situation. There was a serious information imbalance.
Yue Zheng's thoughts could only move towards endless imagination. In the past few minutes, he had considered at least a dozen possibilities that could be used as suspense or horror.
But in the end, everything turned into a meaningless turbid current of emotions. They wantonly squeezed his heart, stirred his brain, and turned his entire body into a continuously heated pressure cooker. His eyeballs were almost squeezed out of their sockets.
Yue Zheng struggled with all his might, but the electric ring on his neck just happened to control him. It reduced his efforts time and time again, intensifying his despair.
Finally, after a powerful wave of emotions overflowed, Yue Zheng's state inevitably fell into a trough.
His mind was in a trance, and his expression was blank. He looked at the black suits and some medical staff bustling around the room, adjusting the catheters and adjusting the instruments. He did not know how to react.
Finally, there was only one thought in his mind:
How did he end up in this situation?
He vaguely remembered that just ten minutes ago, as a human experimental subject who could be lying on the operating table at any time, he was a little nervous about facing the unknown, but he was not as anxious as his father. In fact, he was even a little eager.
Thinking further, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was full of ambition.
In his opinion, being a lab rat was nothing. All he needed was the ability to bite open the cage.
That's what he said, that's what he really thought.
But in the current situation, was there something wrong?
The script of his life shouldn't be like this!
When did I go astray?
Yue Zheng's mental state was no longer able to support continuous thought. Very quickly, a few beautiful faces of the opposite sex that he had an intimate relationship with and had participated in many sports with flashed through his mind.
It was during that event that he became a mutated infected person …
No, that's not right!
Yue Zheng's thoughts flickered once more, and the face of a beautiful woman appeared faintly in his mind.
She seemed to be called … what was her name again?
He really couldn't remember, but the appearance of another male youth that appeared soon after became exceptionally deep and clear.
Luo Nan!
Right, it was because of that beautiful woman that he and Luo Nan became enemies. Things became awkward from then on. Even though he was infected later on, it was to a large extent because he entered the circle of unfriendly people with Luo Nan …
During this period, more and more information about Luo Nan came to his family. Though Yue Qin and his father intentionally hid it from him, did they really think he was stupid?
Even if he was really stupid, a few things were strung together after he came into contact with Clay's Laboratory.
Yue Zheng had to admit that he was very irritated when he heard the name Luo Nan. He really hated it, but there were a few other elements that were closer to the category of envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Yue Qin often bragged to his father behind his back about how amazing this kid was and what abilities he possessed. Later on, he came into contact with Clay's Laboratory and heard about the corresponding group. But basically, most of it was just hearsay.
At the very least, Yue Zheng didn't feel it too much.
After all, he had only fought with Luo Nan once in a virtual game. What he saw and heard afterward were all about Luo Nan's powerful connections and his inexplicable high social status.
Through his deliberate understanding and partial imagination, the relevant concepts could only be manifested in a way that he could understand.
Look, that kid who hasn't even shed his fetal hair has a so-called supernatural ability. Beauties immediately fall in love with him. He can call the wind and summon the rain, and he can act unscrupulously. If only I could do this …
This was the greatest driving force that pushed Yue Zheng to participate in this experiment.
But how did things turn out like this today?
If Luo Nan can do it, why can't I do it?
How did he do it?
What should I do?
His chaotic thoughts set off a turbulent flow of emotions once again. Under the effect of the large amounts of hormones secreted by the human body, Yue Zheng's heartbeat grew faster and faster. He unconsciously began to take large breaths, and his vision grew blurry.
It was as if that petite and tender youth was standing in front of him. He just stood there without any expression, but that spot clearly sparkled with light. On the other hand, Yue Zheng's side was a sheet of darkness.
The boundary between light and darkness wasn't clear. It was as if he could touch it just by extending his hand and stretching his neck.
Yue Zheng subconsciously wanted to do this. He believed that he had done it because there was a change in his body …
But in reality, someone had pinched his chin and moved it back and forth a few times.
Yue Zheng did his best to open his eyes wide, but his severely limited control over his body made it so that he could only see the black suit in front of him. He couldn't even see the person's face clearly.
"Instructor Wang?"
"The state of C2 is unstable."
"Is that so? Then … let's put it aside for now? "
A knock came from the door before Instructor Wang could answer.
The room was quiet, and Yue Zheng's thoughts began to return to normal. Perhaps he was stimulated by the words' put it aside for now '.
He subconsciously received and analyzed the information from the outside world, and he heard Instructor Wang say,
"Please come in."
The voice wasn't loud, but it felt like it couldn't leave the bedroom. But the door to the outer room opened in the next moment. Someone walked in after the sound of messy footsteps. Instructor Wang called out to them.
"Mr. Tu."
Another voice came from behind Instructor Wang. It was probably the 'main character' on the bed. His tone was quite polite.
"Mr. Tu, you've worked hard to make a trip here."
"Yes, I saw that this colleague's condition isn't too good. Send him back."
This matter was clearly not important. Mr. Tu spoke a few sentences and changed the topic, "But this one, is he about to awaken?"
Another person answered, "C2 was infected on New Year's Eve last year. It's a body fluid infection, and the infection duration is the longest. The laboratory has always been under good control, but since it's Group C, it might not be as stable as Group A and Group B. Hm, awaken? "
Instructor Wang's voice sounded again, "Three transformations, or awakening?"
Are they talking about me?
Awakening?
Yue Zheng listened, not really understanding. But the rapid heartbeat and the burning sensation of his body slowly faded. The phantom of Luo Nan was no longer in front of him.
Next, he went through a messy round of tests and judgments. It wasn't easy for him to slow down, but he heard Mr. Tu's slightly raised tone.
"Stopped?"
Just as he finished speaking, there was another knock on the door.
