Chapter 194: Organ Modification
Xia Chenge’s eyes widened.
It was him!
At this moment, Ling Hanmu’s eyes were blood red as he followed closely behind and threw a punch.
He dodged by bending his body, and his fist struck Ling Hanmu’s abdomen.
Grub!
Xia Chenge’s heart tightened.
Ling Hanmu looked down at where he was hit, suddenly spread his hands, and his abdomen bulged forward, actually sending Grub flying and crashing into the wall.
Grub got up in a sorry state, blood already trickling from the corner of his mouth.
Ling Hanmu charged again, and Grub’s expression turned solemn. He retreated repeatedly, not daring to face Ling Hanmu directly anymore.
Ling Zhongwen, standing nearby, stared at Ling Hanmu, his eyes flashing with fanatical light.
Xia Chenge frowned.
This scoundrel was actually treating Ling Hanmu like a tool!
Grub’s combat power was clearly that of an elite among ordinary humans, his skills and reactions far exceeding the human level of this era.
The face of the Apocalypse Zombie General flashed in her mind, identical to Grub’s, and Xia Chenge began to suspect that Grub was the human identity of the Zombie General when he was alive!
This suspicion made Xia Chenge somewhat inexplicably excited. If her guess was true, then she could find the location of Laboratory 748 from Grub and completely end the arrival of the Apocalypse.
Seeing that Ling Hanmu would not suffer at Grub’s hands, Xia Chenge quietly left and returned to the laboratory.
As long as she waited until tomorrow, Ling Zhongwen’s sins would come to an end!
When Xia Mingxuan saw Xia Chenge return, the worry in his eyes deepened.
Xia Chenge stood before him and said softly, “Don’t worry, I’m fine.”
Go.
Leave.
Xia Mingxuan mouthed these three words, his entire being appearing anxious and uneasy.
“I will take you away too.”
“I won’t leave you here alone.”
Xia Mingxuan opened his mouth excitedly, but could not utter a sound.
Xia Chenge knew he meant for her to leave, but her mission was not yet complete, so how could she go?
“As long as tomorrow passes, you will see your daughter. I will save you, and you must also strive to live for your daughter.” Xia Chenge reached out and touched the glass tube, as if to transfer power to him.
Xia Mingxuan looked at her for a long time, his sunken eye sockets moistening.
“We must fight together. Rest well tonight, and goodnight.” After Xia Chenge finished speaking, she fled as if from Xia Mingxuan.
Xia Mingxuan’s tears made her heart ache, and she was afraid that if she stayed longer, she would also be unable to hold back her tears.
Sigh, ever since returning to this peaceful era, her emotions had become increasingly difficult to conceal, Xia Chenge sighed softly.
It was as if someone who was originally indifferent suddenly gained more uncontrollable feelings!
Xia Chenge shook her head, casting aside the irrelevant emotions in her heart.
She had intended to sleep, but at this moment, she was so energetic that she had no sleepiness at all.
Xia Chenge’s thoughts returned to Ling Hanmu. She recalled that she had given him mental power protection in the hospital room earlier to prevent him from being hypnotized. Not only had it failed, but she had also gained more mental power from him, replenishing her own depleted energy and leaving her without the fatigue and weakness after exhaustion.
The mental power of humans in this era was extremely weak. Ling Hanmu’s mental power was even more powerful than that of mental power attackers among Evolved Humans in the Apocalypse.
They said Ling Hanmu had been modified, but Ling Hanmu was completely different from those experimental subjects. What had they done to him to unleash potential comparable to that of an Evolved Human?
Even scientists in the Apocalypse could not develop the potential of unevolved humans. How had they achieved it?
Xia Chenge was baffled.
How was she going to ensure Ling Hanmu lived well?
He, who was judged to be only twenty years old, had only two years left!
At this thought, Xia Chenge’s heart felt heavy.
Sleepless night.
As dawn approached, Xia Chenge suddenly detected faint footsteps approaching the laboratory.
She immediately closed her eyes and lay down.
A moment later, the laboratory door was opened.
From the aura of the newcomer, she identified Ling Hanmu as being among them.
There were a total of five people.
After they put Ling Hanmu down, they walked directly towards her.
“What did you do to her? Has she not woken up?” Grub’s voice was still cold.
“Her brain was injured, and she is now a vegetable.” Ling Zhongwen explained.
“Are you sure?” Grub questioned.
Ling Zhongwen said, “Yes, we’ve been observing her for over ten days, and there are no signs of her waking up yet.”
“It’s best not to make any mistakes!” Grub warned, “Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
The faint smell of disinfectant on Grub made Xia Chenge very uncomfortable. Fortunately, he did not touch her, nor did he linger beside her for too long before going to Ling Hanmu’s side.
But Grub stopped halfway.
Xia Chenge had been calculating his footsteps, and at this moment, he seemed to have stopped precisely at Ling Hanchao’s location. Her heart skipped a beat.
“What’s wrong with this experimental subject?” After a moment, Grub sternly questioned Ling Zhongwen, “Didn’t you say his condition was fine? Why are there no vital signs now?”
Who was this Grub? He could actually tell that Ling Hanchao was dead!
Ling Zhongwen was silent for a moment, seemingly observing Ling Hanchao carefully. After a long while, he replied, “It should be a problem with the chip’s system. We discovered a BUG a couple of days ago, but we haven’t found a solution yet. As long as the BUG is fixed, he will live again.”
“Don’t disappoint me.”
“Yes.”
“Prepare for the second stage of Ling Hanmu’s modification. I want to personally witness the power of the world’s number one biochemical weapon.”
Hearing this, Xia Chenge almost couldn’t resist jumping up and beating Grub.
Go to hell with your biochemical weapon!
Xia Chenge gritted her teeth. Those who didn’t value life deserved to be cut into a thousand pieces.
“The instruments have been activated.”
“Materials are ready.”
“Experimental subject’s vital signs are normal.”
“Shall we begin organ modification?”
After about five minutes, the preparatory work before the modification was reported.
“Ling Zhongwen, are you sure your modification plan will succeed?” At this moment, Grub spoke again sinisterly, “What if it fails? Don’t forget you just said the chip system has a BUG!”
Ling Zhongwen respectfully said, “Ling Hanmu does not have a chip implanted in his brain, so he will not be affected by the system. The organs replaced from experimental subject number 2 are functioning normally and have no problems.”
“I also hope you succeed in modifying Ling Hanmu. A tool with infinite potential and no life limitations, that’s what you call a god-killing artifact!” Grub said in a deep voice, “Don’t disappoint me, Ling Zhongwen!”
“It will be as you wish,” Ling Zhongwen replied.
“Then let’s begin!” Grub commanded.
So, they were going to turn Ling Hanmu into a robot without emotions, yet retaining human intelligence!
Heh heh…
Xia Chenge became furious.
Was Ling Zhongwen still human? After ruining his entire family, he wanted to conquer the world?
Those with too much ambition were destined for a terrible end.
At the same time, the instruments in the laboratory suddenly emitted a sharp alarm sound.
