Chapter 38: Evolution

The white coat looked at Edward with a confused expression and asked in a low voice, "How complicated?" ”

"We don't yet know exactly why King has changed. He has been through too many drug experiments, and he has always had the effects of other drugs in his body. I'm worried that there will be drug cross-effects. Edward looked confused.

"Do you mean we're going to start with all the drugs King has tried and redo the experiments in batches?" The white coat frowned, he originally wanted to get rid of this job as soon as possible.

"Yes, it's a new one, but we're one step closer to success." Edward glanced at King again.

"King's blood results, what do they look like?" The white coat continued to ask.

"The cells in its blood are constantly regenerating and repairing themselves." Edward said, "This ideal state of cell regeneration is, in a sense, the same as the elixir we want. ”

"It seems that the goal now is very clear." "King is the key object of this research, and it is impossible for us to completely hide the fact that it has mutated and evolved. ”

"I understand." Edward fell into deep thought.

"Let's go catch up on sleep first, you haven't closed your eyes for three days and three nights." The white coat persuaded.

"Then I'll leave the rest of the observation record to you." Edward admonished.

"Don't worry, I'll do the rest." The white coat patted his chest and said confidently.

Edward stretched, the tiredness on his face becoming more pronounced. At this moment, he really can't hold on.

"By the way, it's better to help him remove the hair on King's body, it's not easy to sample and observe the hair when it's covered, and it's easy to breed bacteria." Edward said casually.

"Laser hair removal?" The white coat was stunned, but he didn't expect to start working in a beauty salon.

After observing the subject, he moved the laser device to where King was lying and began working on King's beauty.

Half an hour later, looking at his perfect masterpiece, the white coat began to fantasize that when the project was finished, he would change careers and become a professional beautician.

Lucifer was lying groggily in the iron cage, it didn't know what the humans had injected him, he could feel the blood all over his body was heating up, and his body temperature was unusually high at the moment. Maybe it's the antibodies in your body that are fighting the virus, or maybe the injected drugs are still working.

The continuous rise in body temperature made its mouth dry, and it tried to get up to drink some water, only to find that its limbs were weak and could not support it to stand up. It felt like it was dying.

At this time, Lucifer suddenly remembered his next-door neighbor, has No. 108 been suffering from these pains all along? But why is it different from them, it can be so calm, as if it looks down on the pain of life and death.

Lucifer only didn't want to lose to it, he didn't want to lose to this guy who made him feel inferior for the first time.

It remembered what it had seen in the lab. The monster in the instrument is undoubtedly No. 108. Why did King become like that? Is it because of the drug? Then humans injected it with the same drug, right? Will it be ugly too?

Lucifer felt like his mind was in a mess, and it was difficult to concentrate because of the effects of the drug. When you try to think about it, you get a splitting headache.

It decided that it didn't want to be so much, and since No. 108 was able to survive without incident, then it couldn't lose to it. It has to survive, even with willpower, and it has to live desperately. If it could, it hoped that its sister would be less tormented and get out of the sea of suffering as soon as possible.

"Wangwang." Heimei was worried when she saw her brother lying weakly in the cage.

Lucifer looked up slightly at his sister in the cage diagonally above. It's a pity that at this time, it can only comfort its sister who is a little anxious with its eyes.

The black girl and Lucifer glanced at each other, and seemed to quickly understand what her brother meant, and it stopped calling. Instead, he sat quietly in the cage and stared at Lucifer.

Hei Mei had seen the state of No. 108 before, and she roughly guessed that her brother's experience should be similar to No. 108. Although it narrowly escaped this time, it couldn't be so lucky every time. At this time, it no longer dared to hope for anything, but only prayed that his brother would be safe.

Half a month later, the white coat came to pick up Lucifer again. He carried Lucifer's iron cage onto the cart and headed for the lab.

Heimei quietly watched her brother leave, hoping that he would come back safe and sound.

"13586, your name is Lucifer, right?" The white coat asked casually.

Lucifer lay down without saying a word, not intending to take care of his white coat.

"You still learn King, dare to ignore me?" The white coat felt that he was completely ignored by a pet dog, "It is worthy of being a neighbor for more than a month, and he is really close to Zhu and black." ”

"No. 13586, you can still be alive now. After a while, I will try the medicine, but you will be able to accept it. Let's hope you're as lucky as King. The white coat sighed, too lazy to bother with a pet dog.

Upon arriving at the lab, Lucifer meets King again. At this time, King is completely human. What made it even more incomprehensible was that King looked like a human assistant and seemed to have no impression of Lucifer.

"Don't be so surprised." The white coat saw the shock in Lucifer's eyes, and explained with a smile, "It's not at all, the guy you saw a few months ago. ”

Lucifer looked at the white coat with confusion in his eyes.

"It's genetically mutated, it's evolved." "It's not something that all dogs can do. ”

Lucifer gave a blank look at King standing beside Edward. The King in front of him seemed to be completely different from what it had seen before. Except that they share the same smell, it can no longer find any similarities.

"King, you go and bring the experimental potion 2035 from the cold storage." Edward commanded softly.

Without saying a word, King walked in the direction of the cold storage, and within five minutes he had carried out Edward's instructions with unmistakable accuracy.

Edward smiled with satisfaction, it seemed that King was indeed very smart, and indeed he was a manufactur.

Edward took the potion, took out the pinhole syringe, and sucked the liquid out of the glassware. Then he took the syringe and walked over to Lucifer.

"Help me hold it down." Edward said to the white coat.

The white coat immediately moved and tried to control Lucifer's head. This allowed Edward to inject experimental drugs smoothly. But Lucifer suddenly struggled violently.

Seeing this, King, who was not far away, rushed up to help. Lucifer glared at King with hatred, not understanding why he had become a lackey of humanity.

King didn't pay any attention to Lucifer's gaze, and always stood side by side with humans.

As the days passed, new progress was gradually made in the research on the elixir.

Lucifer and Black Girl both experimented and managed to survive.

Edward looked at his research in surprise. He picked up the vessel of the elixir of life, shook the liquid inside, and then put it to his mouth.

"Are you crazy?!" The white coat suddenly rushed up and stopped his crazy move.

"This agent is only useful for canines at the moment. We don't know if it's harmful to humans! The white coat roared.

Edward didn't listen to his friend's advice at all, and said confidently: "I have faith in myself, and this time I really succeeded." Someone has to risk their lives to test the elixir, and I am honored to be the first human to test the elixir. ”

"You madman!" The white coat was completely anxious, and wanted to snatch the medicine from Edward's hand, but he didn't expect Edward's movements to be faster, and he quickly swallowed the medicine.

"You...... Do you know what it means if this bottle fails? "The white coat is worried, Edward is a core member of this research project, if he dies because of the drug test, it will be difficult for the other personnel to continue this research, and all the previous efforts will be wasted.

"It's time to wrap up. If the drug trial is successful, of course, it is gratifying; But if the test fails, this is the retribution I deserve. "Edward seems to look down on life and death, and for the sake of the progress of human life science, he can do whatever he wants.

"Where's King? Why didn't you see him? The lab coat looked around, but there was no sign of King.

"I'll let him go." Edward said with a smile.

The white coat was frightened, "What did you say?" He didn't expect Edward to let go of an important research subject. He hurriedly ran to the dark room and found that all the dogs inside were gone.

"What about the dogs?" The lab coat shook Edward's shoulders and asked anxiously.

"King has taken them all."

"You, he, mother, were you brainwashed by dogs?" The white coat scolded. The immortal elixir project is going to be completely cold, and more importantly, let the mutated pet dog mix into human society, and I don't know what vicious events will be caused in the future.

"The experiment is complete, and there is no need to continue sacrificing their lives." Edward relented, knowing that the success of the experiment meant that all the subjects involved in the experiment would be destroyed. So, he planned it all with King a long time ago. Moreover, in order to compensate for King, he also made a serum for him, which can help him evolve more partners.

He sincerely hopes that the world can give them a pure land for canines, so that they can live without worry.

"It's not something you can decide!" The white coat was completely angry, "How should we explain to the people above?" ”

"It's good that I bear all the blame, you don't know about it." Edward's tone was slightly weak, and the whole person seemed to be unstable.

The white coat immediately stepped forward to support him. "Is it the effect of the medicine?" He asked.

Edward nodded.

"You're not going to die, are you? If you die, won't I survive? The white coat panicked.

"Don't worry, I won't bother you." Edward gritted his teeth with difficulty, and fainted completely as soon as he finished speaking.

The white coat was flustered when he saw this. He pondered how to remedy it. So, he made a decision.

He quickly went to the computer and copied all the research materials on a USB stick. After that, he went to the cold storage and put the final potion in the freezer. He then removed gasoline from the warehouse and drenched the floor inside and outside the institute.

"Brother, you won't be able to live anyway, so it's better to fulfill me." The white coat sighed. He took a lighter out of his pocket and lit the gasoline on the ground.

Fifteen minutes have passed since the white coat witnessed the fire burning more and more, and the people inside have not escaped. Only then did he drive away with peace of mind.

Luckily, King didn't go far, and he drove back in the van again. When he returned to the entrance of the institute, he saw a sea of fire in front of him.

He parked his car on the side of the road, drenched himself with the fire water on the side of the road, and then quickly rushed into the fire.

"Edward? Are you there? King shouted loudly, but the fire was so strong that it had already overshadowed his shouts, and Edward couldn't hear them. Moreover, King was unable to use his sense of smell and hearing in the sea of fire, making it difficult to confirm Edward's location.

King made his swift sway through the fire, finally arriving at the lab. He found Edward locked in an observation room.

King slammed the door hard, presumably due to the heat, and the lock was quickly broken by him. He immediately rushed in, taking off his wet coat to protect Edward's face.

As the fire grew bigger and bigger, King frowned and used the chains in the observation room to tie Edward to his back.

"Ahem......" The smoke from the fire seemed to have been inhaled into Edward's lungs, and he coughed violently.

"Are you alright? Cover my mouth and nose with my wet clothes. King asked with concern.

"You, why are you back?" Edward looked at King in surprise.

"I was a little worried about you, so I came back and took a look." "Sure enough, something happened to you. ”

Edward looked at it in amazement, the fire raging in front of him. "How can there be a fire here?"

"I smell a strong smell of gasoline outside." King explained, "It should have been arson. ”

"You hold me tight, we're ready to rush out." King admonished.

"Actually, it's okay if I'm dead. I have done so many cruel things to you, and I deserve retribution. Edward said in disappointment.

King was silent for a moment, then said, "I saved your life now. Therefore, you will live for me henceforth. Your life is mine, and no one will try to take it away! ”

Edward was stunned when he heard King's words.

"So we're going to live together in a garden house?" Edward actually laughed.

"It's nice that we can live freely." King frowned. Now, he doesn't want to think too much about the future.

"yes, we're going to live first." Edward seemed to be in a good mood.

He was to be grateful for the fire, which had made him and King's fateful friendship. He chose to help King in the first place, and it was the right decision, and his conscience was no longer troubled. This fire will put an end to everything here.

King managed to break out of the flames as King escorted Edward out of the flames, and they looked back at the Institute that was about to burn out. The nightmare is finally coming to an end......
