Chapter 19: "Humans" in a Petri Dish
The Biological Research Building in Tung Chau District 14 is built in ruins on the outskirts of Gangqiao City, surrounded by dilapidated buildings or razed rubble for hundreds of miles, and the edge of the ruins is tightly surrounded by a 30-meter-high power grid.
Next to the only entrance is a yellow warning sign with the words "Danger Do Not Approach" and a striking red exclamation mark.
As a black sedan approached, the armed guards at the door retreated to the sides, and it was not until the sedan reached the Tech Building in the middle of the circular ruins that they resumed their defensive queue.
The driver stopped the car, He Fengyan got out of the car first, and when he came over to open the door, Ji Mingchen slowly came out.
When he came out, he also straightened his crumpled sleeves, and his unhurried appearance made He Fengyan feel anxious in his heart: "Chief Ming, let's go in earlier, the situation was not very good when I came out to report the news, and now I'm afraid it's even worse." ”
Ji Mingchen always smiled: "What are you nervous about, the research room has a protection system, Director Fei won't even know this." ”
He Fengyan didn't say much, and walked into the building with people, the whole building was built very technologically, the blue ground was as smooth as a mirror, and every time he walked into a mechanical door, he needed fingerprints and face recognition.
After entering the elevator, He Fengyan pressed the "-18" floor, and as soon as the elevator door opened, he heard a deafening "bang" loud sound from a distance, accompanied by this sound, there was some kind of weird strange roar, and a sizzling sound similar to a plant breaking through the ground.
He Fengyan's face was anxious, and he wanted to speed up his pace, but Ji Mingchen beside him was very leisurely, and from time to time he went to watch the situation in the petri dish next to him.
On the left side of the long corridor were rows of metal cages containing humans, all of them in prison uniforms, leaning against the railing dying, some with their eyes closed and their heads down, some staring blankly, looking out at the corridor in fear and dazedness.
On the right side of the corridor, there are cage-sized petri dishes, and inside the glassware are blue-green liquids, and the "humans" sleeping in the liquid are also in the liquid.
Some of them have fish tails, some have wings, some have antlers, some have chapped and peeling skin, and some have red eyes and foul saliva from the corners of their mouths...... They are all defective products of failure, specimens of mutants who have lost their minds.
In the laboratory at the end of the corridor, several researchers dressed in white looked frightened: "What to do!?" The door of the research module doesn't seem to be able to stop the mutant......"
The power grid at the door of the research chamber was bubbling with electricity, and inside was a two-meter-tall humanoid monster with red-eyed and greenish skin, claw-like hands, sharp nails, and fingers that could be turned into freely retractable vines.
Seeing the vines sticking out of the cracks, the researchers screamed again: "Vines, vines have come out of the cracks in the power grid!" ”
"Director Fei!!"
"Press the red button!!"
Fei Qianjiang sat in place in fright, the black pupils under the lenses reflected the thorny vines that came by surprise, and at this moment, a cluster of flames surged in, and the half-scorched vines instantly retracted.
The researchers in the laboratory turned their heads one after another and brightened their eyes: "Chief Ming, Captain He." ”
Fei Qianjiang looked back, the horror in his eyes was not gone, he stood up with the experimental table next to him, helped the broken glasses, and said with palpitations:
"Chief Ming, you can count it, that mutant is like this when he wakes up, and he caught us off guard ......"
Ji Mingchen: "Since it's a failure, why don't you execute it?" ”
Fei Qianjiang: "Because I found it to be a special ......"
Ji Mingchen: "Special? ”
A researcher chimed in: "Yes, it seems to be able to speak, and it is not a complete failure, so Director Fei is reluctant to turn on the strangulation system." ”
Hearing this, Ji Mingchen looked at the monster in the middle of the power grid again, and approached it, this thing seemed to be afraid, it was looking at his charred fingers, and muttered to himself in a hoarse voice: "Pain, pain, pain." ”
When it noticed that someone was approaching, it even retreated, a pair of blood-red pupils fluttering at a rapid frequency, and looked vigilantly at the man in white outside the power grid.
Ji Mingchen smiled: "Hello." ”
Greeting a monster kindly made his gentle smile a little eerie and treacherous.
The monster didn't move, as if it was still afraid, but it bared its teeth and demonstrated at the people, muttering, "Kill, kill, kill." ”
Ji Mingchen analyzed: "It's a little different, it will be terrifying." ”
"However, something dangerous like this can be directly exterminated next time, otherwise it won't be good to escape......"
When the words fell, the fingertip flames flew out, and when they landed on the monster, they instantly turned into a fire net to wrap the monster, and after a terrible scream, the monster turned into black ashes and scattered.
Fei Qianjiang frowned: "But, but ......"
Because of this research result, he was still happy for a long time, after all, the research on the wood-based ability awakening agent had finally made some progress, and he wanted to lock it up and study it, and then use the living blood of this monster to do a few sample analysis.
Unexpectedly, it was burned down like this.
Ji Mingchen turned his head and bent his eyes to Fei Qianjiang's eyes: "Did you hear that?" Director Fei. ”
Fei Qianjiang wiped the sweat from his forehead, where did he dare to put more beaks: "Understood." ”
Ji Mingchen walked in front of the row display screen and looked at the data on it: "It's been half a year, and there has been no progress at all?" ”
Fei Qianjiang was a little embarrassed by this question, and lowered his head to explain: "First of all, the number of mutant samples is not enough, and secondly, the element condensation is only a molecule in size, which is a volatile substance, and it is particularly difficult to refine......"
"Even if it is refined, it is extremely difficult to complete the experiment by mixing it to a specific concentration, not to mention whether the experiment succeeded or failed."
Ji Mingchen nodded, smiled and patted Fei Qianjiang's shoulder: "You don't have to worry about the sample, Director Fei just needs to concentrate on developing what I want." ”
Fei Qianjiang trembled inexplicably, and hurriedly nodded earnestly: "I know, understand." ”
On the way back, it was still Ji Mingchen and He Fengyan walking together.
Unlike when they came, this time when they passed by a cage, suddenly a woman with a disheveled hair came over and scolded Ji Mingchen hoarsely: "Ji Mingchen! You don't have to die well!! ”
