The laboratory is large, the equipment is top-notch, and there are at least hundreds of researchers as far as the eye can see.

There are human races, and there are mechanical people.

They walked around the lab in white hazmat suits, sometimes recording data, sometimes whispering to each other.

In the area to the left of the laboratory, there are countless corpses of bugs.

Some of the bodies were soaked in a green liquid of medicine, others were air-dried, and some were frozen in liquid nitrogen.

Many insect carcasses have been delicately dismembered, divided into blood, internal organs, carapaces, claws, teeth, and so on.

Su Xia looked closely and saw a lot of research materials next to these corpses.

[The body structure of the giant god worm is different from the rest of the insects, the reason why they can grow so large is because its unique respiratory system allows it to obtain more oxygen, and it has a ...... similar to the air sacs of birds]

[The spine of the swift insect is very soft, easy to bend, and has a strong heart and lungs, so it is extremely fast......]

【……】

Each bug has been thoroughly studied, and various characteristics and weaknesses have been clearly marked.

In addition to these bug corpses, not far away, there are also a large number of live bugs in captivity.

These bugs are not used to extract psionic energy, but simply for experimentation, from the lowest-level swift bugs to high-level shadow hunters.

And right next to these bugs......

Susha saw many imprisoned humans.

These people were ragged, covered in wounds, and looked in extremely poor condition, but they all had one thing in common-

They are psionic beings.

Someone seemed to have resigned himself to his fate, crouching in the corner of the cage, unkempt, without saying a word.

Someone else shouted: "Damn machines, wait, your rule will fall!" ”

"And you shameless people, who use your own people to conduct experiments and extend butcher knives to your own people for money, you will be judged in the end!"

"That day won't be too far away!"

“……”

Naturally, the scolding is the many human researchers in the laboratory.

However, these researchers also seem to be used to being scolded, and they are not surprised by this, and they don't even say anything.

It's hard to make money.

It's normal to be scolded.

The post-war social order has made it clear to these researchers that only by stepping on the corpses of their own people can they slowly climb up and become masters of the new era.

Of course, in the cage, there are also people who are begging for mercy in fear.

"Let me out, I'm not one of those thieves, I'm innocent."

"You caught the wrong person, I have a good citizen certification......"

“……”

It's true that these people are not rebels, but they are not very lucky, and they are also arrested together.

After seeing the bloody and cruel experiments, they were so frightened that their faces turned white, and they trembled one by one, and kept shouting for mercy.

But the researchers were also deaf, as if they hadn't heard at all.

Susha identified all the people who had been arrested.

"There are no members of the Old North Wind organization."

He walked through the area to the middle of the lab.

Here, there are experimental areas separated by glass.

Wails, screams, and weepings echoed throughout the area, as if from the boundless purgatory.

Su Xia saw that someone was tied to the experimental table, his whole body was festering, wailing in pain, and the flesh seemed to be melting into disgusting pus little by little, and every second was worse than death.

Beside this person, a researcher in a white hazmat suit is calmly taking notes: "Subject K0246, on the 13th day of receiving alienated energy, has lost psychic energy, is conscious, and is expected to survive for 30-35 days......"

This kind of painful life will continue for a full month, and you can imagine how desperate the person on the laboratory table is.

That's where psionic creatures come in.

Their vitality is more tenacious than that of ordinary people, they can struggle on the edge of life and death for a longer time, and they can collect more experimental data on them.

Seeing his rotten appearance, Su Xia thought of an accident on the other side of the earth.

That accident brought a man named "Ouchi Jiu" from a certain island country into the field of vision of many people.

That Ouchi Kusa seems to have lived for more than eighty days in the end.

Su Xia continued to observe, walking through one experimental area after another.

Many of the experiments here are like trying their luck, and some even go the other way and use bugs as test subjects.

After a while, Susha stopped watching.

He removed the crystal from his eyebrows, then took out Dr. Agar's notes.

Su Xia opened the door of the room, walked into the living room, and began to flip through the contents of the notebook.

"Dr. Agare's idea is much more mature than those experimenters just now, and the success rate of the experiment is extremely high......

In the notebook, not only the thoughts before each experiment are recorded, but also the approximate data from the experiment are recorded.

There are many hand-drawn sketches by Dr. Egar.

Su Xia kept flipping through and saw strange-looking creatures.

The appearance, survival time, intelligence, and other characteristics of these creatures are all included in the notes.

Even Su Xia, an ordinary college student, could see a lot of processes, which made him have to admire the wisdom of the evil doctor.

In comparison, Mercer's researchers are like children.

Of course, in any case, such experiments are inhumane and should not be in this world.

After a quick glance at the small half of the notebook, Su Xia returned to the room, closed the door, took out the red crystal, and saw the laboratory again.

This time, he came to the right side of the lab.

In this area, more than twenty hybrid creatures are imprisoned that are close to success.

These creatures are strange-looking, human-like, and several of them are even covered in metal, and all of them are powerful.

"At least all of them have third-level psionic powers."

Although it was an illusion, Sushache actually felt the power of these creatures in this hallucination.

More than twenty third-level creatures were already terrifying, and there were actually two fourth-level creatures among them.

They were all human beings, but it was as if they had forgotten their memories of being human.

Su Xia walked up to a monster and quietly observed.

Next to this monster, there is a record card attached.

The name on the card is Gu An.

[Gu An: male, 29 years old, level 3.4 psionic ability, level 4 pharmacist ......]

Looking at his description, Su Xia could basically determine that this was his senior brother.

There is also a photo of Gu An on the card, he has a handsome appearance, three-dimensional facial features, neat short hair, and a few white teeth with a smile.

But now......

This big brother looks like the T-002 tyrant from Resident Evil, and he can't see what he used to be.

His eyes were fierce, his sharp teeth dripping with mucus, his legs were full of swollen and swollen wriggling cysts, one hand had turned into a huge sharp claw, and a low, terrifying roar came from his throat.

In Su Xia's perception, his psionic level was already close to level 4.

At that moment, Mercer walked over with a cane, looking elegant in a black dress.

When he walked in front of the monster that Gu An had turned into, the voice in the monster's throat immediately stopped, and even the fierceness in his eyes was much less, and he lowered his head, as if he was surrendering to Mercer.

Mercer smiled and said to Yu Tuo beside him, "See, these monsters have a certain amount of intelligence, and they know who to surrender to. ”

"Wisdom must have been?"

Yu Tuo looked at the monster coldly, and the killing intent was not gone.

The wisdom of these monsters, in Yu Tuo's eyes, has exceeded the scope of safety.

It's a pity that he's no match for Mercer right now, otherwise he'd have destroyed these monsters anyway.

"Your worries come from your barren knowledge." "The subjects you see are not perfect, they will become more and more perfect, and open up another viable evolutionary path for our race. ”

Yu Tuo snorted coldly: "You are playing with fire and immolating yourself." ”

"Are you doubting Lord Eiffel's wisdom?"

Mercer was confident and haughty, as he was a direct subordinate of the legendary Machine Master.

He walked towards another monster with his cane, and said as he walked: "Tonight, a group of anti-thieves with spiritual power will be transported by the ruined armor city, let your people go to receive it, the identity of those anti-thieves is very special." ”

Yu Tuo asked, "What identity?" ”

"They are the last members of the North Wind organization."

"Those people in the North Wind Organization aren't dead yet? I thought they were dead in the lab of the Abandoned City! ”

Yu Tuo's tone was indifferent, and he asked Mercer: "These people can be used as bait to fish out the Commander of the North Wind or the Mask Monster, why haven't they been used before?" ”

Su Xia was right next to the two of them, listening to their conversation all the time.

Hearing this, he gradually understood that even Yu Tuo didn't know the specific situation of the remaining members of the North Wind Organization......

It seems that Zhao Si really doesn't know, and he said those words before just to save his life.

Mercer calmly replied to Yu Tuo: "You used the people organized by the scimitar as bait to fish out the masked monsters, and the result? ”

With a little irony, he directly blocked what Yu Tuo wanted to say next.

The result was far from ideal.

Everyone knows that the masked monster has managed to escape from Yu Tuo's hands for the second time, and perhaps no one in the entire Coral City will be able to stop him.

Mercer glanced at him, and then said, "To deal with the enemy, you don't have to go head-to-head, it's best to let it disintegrate from within, this is the first lesson I taught you, learn it well." ”

He was clearly prepared, and snapped his fingers as he spoke.

The doors of the laboratory are opened.

An expressionless middle-aged man walked into the laboratory and walked up to Mercer and Yu Tuo under the strange gaze of some researchers.

Yu Tuo glanced at the middle-aged man and asked, "What does this mean?" ”

"Don't worry, watch carefully."

Mercer bowed slightly, and gestured to the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man was instructed to reach into his arms and take out a mask made of countless metal fragments.

He spread out his hand, and the metal mask was silently suspended in the palm of his hand.

Then, the mask slowly floated to his face, covering his face.

Mercer laughed and patted Yu Tuo on the shoulder with his cane.

"See, we have masked geeks too."
