Bang!
In the darkest depths of the dam base, the sound of impact came from the most heavily guarded room. It sounded like an ordinary person smashing the wall with their fists. Vaguely, a suppressed cry of pain could be heard. It sounded like a sound from hell, like the cry of a ghost.
The soldiers on guard were not nervous about the commotion because they were already used to it.
"I don't know if it's an illusion, but the frequency of 'it' hitting the wall is getting faster and faster."
The soldier on the left whispered, "Should we report it?"
The soldier on the right glanced at him and shook his head.
"If you were the one undergoing that kind of experiment, you would hit the wall faster and harder than 'it'. Do you know why 'it' is doing this?"
This was a veteran. It could be seen from the beard under his helmet. He chuckled. When the camera above his head turned to the periphery, he secretly took out a cigarette from his back, put it in his mouth, and took a deep puff. Looking at the young soldier's puzzled gaze, he lowered his voice and said, "It's because of the pain.
"Because of the pain … When I was fighting in the Middle East, I saw many brothers who were tortured by the pain after Dolantin lost its effect. They often used this method to divert their attention so that they wouldn't be overwhelmed by the pain."
The veteran smoked very quickly. When the camera turned back, there was only half a cigarette left in his hand. He secretly threw the other half of the cigarette into the window of the iron door behind him. It was used to deliver food. Although the guy inside did not need food, this classic design was still preserved.
The half of the cigarette was thrown into the dark window. A moment later, a comfortable moan came from the darkness.
"Thank you."
It was a thank you that was so hoarse that it was almost inaudible. The recruit had seen this action many times. This time, he finally could not help but ask.
"What's the point of doing this? I heard from the scientists that he's about to die. "
The veteran did not answer. He just glanced at the dark steel house behind him and shook his head. A flash of pity flashed in his eyes under the helmet.
"Stand guard. Hopefully, the next transfer will transfer us out of here."
He looked at the cage around him. He gritted his teeth and thought of his daughter. He cursed fiercely.
"This is f * cking hell."
Bang! Bang!
The sound of a fist hitting the wall was heard again. This cage was specially designed to imprison Test Subject No. 13. It was specially designed to imprison Test Subject No. 13. There was no surveillance camera installed in it because it was useless. Any test subject that could be locked in here could not be monitored by a single camera. In the darkness, even if Saber's body was destroyed, he could easily destroy the surveillance camera.
Instead, it was replaced by a computer-controlled "suppression" system. It was a sedative made with a special raw material. It had a strong hallucination and paralysis effect. Even for a guy like Seb, it was almost effective with a single injection. The reason why Stryker wasn't worried about someone escaping from prison was because no one could run out of the prison under the effect of that sedative.
But frankly speaking, he still underestimated this world …
"Uh …"
Seiber lay on the ground in agony, his fists pounding on the ground. In the darkness, black, rotten blood flowed on the ground. He had already endured this pain 27 times. It was the process of the gene chain in the deepest part of his body being controlled by the instinct to devour, and it was the process of selecting new gene fragments that were implanted into his body.
It was like another beast waking up and roaring in his body. This kind of restlessness and change from the deepest part of his body made Saber suffer almost all the time. He had no thoughts in his heart at this time. The only reason why he insisted on not falling down was to live and take revenge! And his family …
In the darkness, Stryker wouldn't let Saber have a concept of time. He didn't know how long he had been here, but he knew his situation. He didn't know the terrible consequences of the collapse of the genetic chain. He only knew that his body was now full of various toxins and poisonous sores, like a petri dish full of vicious bacteria.
The Devouring ability could only select genes that could be compatible with each other. However, there were more than three different types of mutant genes injected into Seiber's body every time. Naturally, those that were not selected would not be easily expelled from his body. The complete distortion of his body was the result of the genetic modification.
It turned him into a monster!
Hawkins' guess was correct because Saber himself could feel that if this kind of implantation experiment was done again, his body would definitely collapse. Fortunately … the saber-toothed tiger gave him a glimmer of hope.
The most powerful self-healing ability in the world, if it can be absorbed by the collapsing genetic chain … there is still a glimmer of hope. This time, 5 of the 6 serums injected into his body were replaced with the saber-toothed tiger's serum, and the success rate of absorption was 56%.
Now Saber was like a prisoner waiting for the judgment of fate. In this case, he could only hand over all his fate to the god that he didn't know existed.
"Just … a little!"
Saber's skinny left claw and bloated right claw slid on the steel on the ground, making the sound of nails clanking on the ground. It was very painful!
It was like his body was about to be torn apart, and it was like a hot blade piercing his abdomen, tearing his chest apart abruptly. It was like there was a volcano in his abdomen, and it was erupting!
In the darkness, the light in his eyes became redder and redder. Under the black muscles on his back, there was a fist-sized meat bump moving left and right. He felt that his breathing became hot. The cold sweat just overflowed, but it was evaporated by the high temperature of the body surface. He moved his body with difficulty and rolled himself into the sink in the room.
When his twisted body fell into the sink, there was even steam evaporating!
His abdomen twisted, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood filled with the smell of decay. It was mixed with fragments of internal organs, and it smashed on the ground, emitting a high temperature.
He breathed heavily, and his eyes lost focus. He was like a fish that had been thrown into the desert, trying in vain to breathe. His consciousness started to become chaotic. He knew that this was because the fusion of the gene chain and the new gene had reached its peak.
It was like being thrown from an extreme height and then smashed on the ground. The dizziness made him lose his consciousness. It was like walking in the desert, and a confused person eventually fainted and died … It was like a silent death.
The moment before he fainted, he suddenly felt … Hunger that he had not felt in a long time.
"Test subject 13's vital signs are weakening rapidly!"
Professor Hawkins looked at the complicated instrument in front of him. More than 20 numbers were jumping rapidly. He clenched his fists. "The experiment was successful. The new genes are in the process of fusion. Quick, replenish 13's energy! "
"Yes, professor!"
The assistant standing next to him immediately operated an equally sophisticated computer. In the darkness above Saber's head, four dark red lights lit up. The probe controlled by the robotic arm relied on the temperature difference to find Saber's unconscious body and pierced the probe used to inject liquid into Saber's body.
"Professor, something's wrong!"
The assistant watched the high-energy liquid quickly disappear. He whispered, "13's need for food calories this time is three times higher than usual! Could it be that he evolved again? "
"Evolution?"
Professor Hawkins muttered to himself. He couldn't help but take off the glasses on his eyes. "Yes! It must be evolution! I knew that 13 wouldn't let us down! He didn't collapse … at least not now! "
The old professor's face was filled with joy. The assistant asked carefully,
"Should we inform General Stryker?"
"No! Don't inform him! "
Professor Hawkins' eyes narrowed. He remembered Stryker's arrogance and rudeness before. He snorted coldly, "Before we determine the situation of No. 13, let's not inform him. Give No. 13 enough energy, and then see how he is after the gene fusion. If we are lucky enough … Stryker can take his weapon and get out of here!"
The passage of time in the darkness was not felt. If a normal person was locked up in a dark basement for three years, he would go crazy sooner or later.
Saber felt his body was very cold, just like the boy in his memory. After a heavy snow, he curled up alone in the corner, letting the cold wind and snow blow on his skin. He was almost frozen and might even die. In the morning sun, a figure that was not tall blocked the warm sunlight in front of him and reached out to him.
He wanted to hold that hand … So he reached out his hand. In the next moment, Seiber's eyes flew open, and all he could see was darkness.
He was lying in the sink that had evaporated one-third of the water. The water here was directly from the dam, so it was naturally cold to the bone. Saber struggled to grab the edge of the sink with both hands. When he was about to control his legs to step out, he suddenly froze in place.
His body trembled. He put his arms in front of his eyes. The darkness couldn't stop his eyes. He could see that the left claw and the bloated right claw, although still somewhat uncoordinated, had basically returned to their original state. His legs were no longer the kind of twisted decoration that couldn't walk. He could feel them again.
His fingers rubbed on his body. Those disgusting sores, those twisted muscles … had all recovered.
The blood serum of Victor the Saber-Toothed Tiger had worked … In the end, he had won the gamble. The most ancient and most mysterious super-strong self-healing ability in the world had given him a new hope. Most importantly, the pain that was constantly rolling in his body … was weakening. Did this mean that his genetic chain seemed to be repairing itself?
It seemed that the powerful self-healing ability had finally defeated the despair that was spreading from his bones …
Saber was a little lost. Soon, the bone-chilling cold woke him up from his daze. He clumsily crawled out of the sink. The moment he stood up straight, his abdomen twitched. He turned his head and spat out another mouthful of blood. He could clearly see that the blood was red … No, it was red mixed with black. There was still a slight smell of decay.
"It hasn't fully recovered yet?"
Saber put his left hand in front of his eyes. He slowly clenched his fist and made a cracking sound. He felt the recovered, no … stronger power than before flowing in his body. Those damn, who knows what kind of messed up ability genes seemed to have given him an unexpected generous reward. In the darkness, the corner of his mouth slowly curled up. A cold smile appeared on his face.
"That's enough … isn't it?"
"Ah … It's not time yet … It's not time yet …"
"Hehe, I'm really looking forward to it, Stryker …"
"Bang, bang …"
After disappearing for a day, the sound of the wall being smashed appeared again. The veteran who had been a little uneasy breathed a sigh of relief. This meant that at least the poor guy inside was still alive. As usual, when the camera turned around, he threw half a cigarette in. A moment later, a hoarse voice came out.
"Thank you."
This time, it seemed to be much clearer than before. The veteran was stunned for a moment, but he didn't take it to heart. Instead, he held his gun and continued to be on duty.
If a poisonous snake woke up from hibernation but didn't intend to bite you immediately, then you would be worried. Because it wasn't showing weakness, but hibernation … It was waiting for the most suitable time to pounce out of the darkness, show its fangs, and give you the most fatal blow.
