Chapter 2: The Crashing Subject

Lab 1, Corbyst, Los Angeles Riverside County (Riverside_county).

Gilbert Gordon stood outside a large cage with a few researchers, intently observing. One of the experimenters is operating a sensitive robotic arm through a cage, with a syringe fixed to the front of the robotic arm that slowly extends forward as the arm moves.

The direction of the robotic arm was a dark, shiny, athletic Doberman, lying flat on the ground with its eyes closed, apparently anesthetized. The robotic arm quickly moved to the right position, slowly and calmly inserted the needle into the Doberman's body, and with a hint of faint black liquid, it was quickly pushed to the end by the needle plug.

At the end of the injection, the robotic arm slowly retracted and retracted from the hole in the ceiling at the top of the cage, and the two iron gates closed completely. And the Doberman Pinscher slowly opened its eyes after dozens of seconds and got up from the ground. It shook its body in discomfort, wagged its tail, and was generally calm, looking at the crowd outside the cage with curious dark eyes.

Gradually, however, the Doberman Pinscher began to become a little manic, pacing back and forth inside the cage and even barking loudly. Immediately afterwards, the Doberman's eyes became congested and red, and the canine teeth and claws kept growing outward, appearing more and more sharp and thick, exuding a faint cold light, and the body gradually swelled, and even grew fine and complex scales.

Almost in less than a few minutes, this Doberman, which was not large in size, was already unrecognizable, and turned into a monster the size of a calf with sharp and terrifying claws, and large pieces of strange scales on its body flickered, but it looked scattered and irregular, not completely connected, and appeared to be in a very unstable state.

The terrifying-looking monster dog roared in the cage, staring at the people outside with red eyes, and almost immediately jumped five or six meters, hitting the railing with a loud "bang", which frightened the researchers to retreat. The monster dog that fell to the ground shook its head, and the violent impact didn't seem to cause any harm to it, and it began to hit the railing made of special steel like no pain, and the huge cage was hit by the crazy monster dog, and the hard reinforced concrete ground seemed to be unable to resist the sharp and thick claws, and was caught out of the ravines of different depths.

Despite knowing that the cages were specially made and that even elephants and even rampaging rhinoceroses could not break through, the researchers retreated in shock, looking at the ferocious monster dogs in a cold sweat, and the more timid ones had even run ten meters away, shivering at their legs from afar.

"Whatthe**! Unbelievable! Unbelievable! ”

"Oh! The power of this monster is terrifying! ”

"God, what kind of impact is this......"

"It seems to have become very aggressive, what stimulates its brain?!"

Although this was not the first time that a subject had gone berserk, the researchers were still a little difficult to digest.

"Watch and record its signs!" Dr. Gordon glared at the somewhat bewildered researchers in dissatisfaction and spoke coldly.

Under his reminder, these frightened researchers began to come back to their senses to complete their work, and each test subject was implanted with a special data collection device, coupled with all-round observations, which could accurately grasp the situation of the test subject.

"Signs of test subjects exceed expectations!"

"Cells multiply more than twenty times faster!"

"There is a base substitution mutation!"

"The number of test signs has broken through the peak!"

"Wait...... What happened? We lost the signal from the data logger and nothing came out. ”

The work of observing and recording values did not require communication every time, but the researchers were so surprised by the amazing reality of the values that they couldn't help but shout. There are only two possibilities for the data logger to no longer emit a signal, either the signal receiver is damaged or the data logger is damaged. Looking at the test subject, which began to appear on its forehead with two tiny bulges, muscles bursting apart in pieces, and black and red fluid constantly leaking, the researchers were almost certain that the data acquisition device in its body had been completely discontinued.

"What an incomprehensible and amazing change!"

"This is happening again, and it looks like Subject M03 is going to collapse again soon......"

"Look, the subject's movements have become smaller......"

As several researchers exclaimed, everyone turned their attention to the test subject in the cage again, only to see that the monster dog's body had begun to slowly shrink, but there was hardly a piece of intact place on the whole body, and black-red liquid was constantly splashing and dripping from the bursting wound. Eventually, the subject returned to its original size, but it was difficult to identify the carcass that had almost become a mess of rotten flesh.

From receiving the injection to now, it seems to be thrilling and drastic, but in fact, it is only a quarter of an hour. Despite the expected outcome, Gilbert Gordon couldn't hide the disappointment on his face, raised his hand to look at his watch, and shook his head as he removed his glasses and wiped them.

"Record! August 14, 2016, Subject M03: Animal kingdom, mandibular chord, quadruped, mammalian Doberman. Injection of A-02 1:13-fold dilution prototype reagent, specific mutation, 8 minutes and 27 seconds test body disintegration, deceased ......"

The researchers were not surprised by the death of the test subject, it was nothing more than the horror of this death, but they were not as panicked as they had seen the test subject go crazy before, and they all calmed down and went about their own business, recording data and sorting out instruments. Dr. Gordon put back his glasses, looked at the reaction, and patted his face: "Scientific research is like this, and it can't have immediate results." Okay, everyone, have worked hard today, finish the records and archiving work at hand, and go back to rest early. ”

"Dr. Gordon, how did the prototype reagent be developed, and why did it have such a peculiar effect...... "Some researchers finally couldn't help but ask with curiosity, and the others also turned their heads when they heard this question, obviously wanting to know the answer.

Most of them were carefully selected from other laboratories, and some were university researchers, who were very curious about the prototype reagent, and the strange shape and even some terrifying mutations of the experimental subjects who received the injection fully illustrated the amazing power and magical characteristics of the prototype reagent.

"I can only tell you that the prototype reagent is the pinnacle of biology and genetic research, and it will surely bring a transformative breakthrough to human genetic engineering." Gilbert Gordon lowered his eyelids slightly, and replied in a somewhat flat tone. "More of it involves the company's core secrets, and you will naturally know when your confidentiality level is raised. Now let's move on and see the results sooner and everyone will know what a great scientific experiment we are conducting! ”

Gilbert Gordon's patience and resilience in the long-term ineffective research and development can be imagined, and he turned his head to look at the test subjects in the cage: "Clean up the test subjects according to standard procedures, and call in the cleaning team." ”

In the Corbist 1 laboratory, all the test procedures have the most stringent operating procedures, and it is clear that the researchers are well aware of this, and they quickly notify the outside through the intercom.

A few minutes later, a team of personnel dressed in neat black hazmat suits walked in, wearing thick isolation masks and carrying special toolboxes with extremely clear black background and red edge ring-shaped complex logos, which were high-risk biochemical pollution threat signs.

The leader of the clean-up team had a brief communication with Dr. Gordon, then stood at each end of the cage to enter the password, and then aimed his eyes at the iris recognition system, and after a short check, the heavy special fence slowly rose upward. Members of the clean-up team quickly entered the cage and used various analysis and cleaning instruments to clean the interior space inch by inch, and finally collected the broken Doberman Pinscher carcasses into a special body bag and packed them into a box.

These men were apparently specially trained, meticulous in their movements, extremely calm and precise, and extremely efficient in clearing the experimental area. The researcher was also surprised, chatting while busy with the things at hand, preparing to go home from work.

"Don't you think the lab is a bit mysterious?"

"Isn't that a normal thing? You didn't come in with a non-disclosure agreement? ”

"If you want me to say that I don't care so much, the conditions and treatment here are fantastic, but you can't meet them anywhere. I'm most interested in the legendary $10 million R&D bonus, haha! ”

"What happens to these test subjects every time they are taken away by the clean-up team?"

"It's not the same as biochemical pollution...... What's so weird......"

"Do you think sometimes Dr. Gordon feels particularly dignified, and I'm a little scared......"

"Shhhhh I can get off work early today, is anyone interested in going to the nearby Grant Bar for a drink, I'm in for a treat! ”

……

One by one, the researchers packed up their things, changed into their clothes and left, whispering what they thought were secret, but unaware that Gilbert Gordon had heard them all. He uses his senses of hearing, sight, and smell that are far beyond the average human to quietly collect all the information in the laboratory, making sure that everything is under his control.

No one saw it, and Dr. Gordon, who had been watching the work of the detachment, had a faint golden glow in the pupils behind the lenses of his glasses.

The author has something to say:

In the afternoon, I learned a very terrible news...... That's ...... Under! Week! Not! Yes! Push! Recommend! Yes, you read that right...... It's going to be naked next week. The author had just vomited a mouthful of old blood and was already crying and fainting in the toilet. Fortunately, I relied on the two lollipops of the book friend "Book Friend 140413094639947" and the reward of "Streamline under the Sky" to barely survive. In such a situation of universal sorrow, the author also insisted on changing more than 3,000 of the two sheets, which is very powerful...... It's all up to everyone's support......
