Chapter 1455 - 1453: Top Secret
After the Four Spirits Hall incident, the Wild Crane Style was challenged and its plaque shattered, propelling Yang Chen’s name to new heights!
The entire Rejing City, and even the whole of Beihai Country, all the martial arts sects and lineages were thrown into a panic.
After all, the Wild Crane Style was considered a mid-high tier school, with a long-standing heritage and undeniable strength. Being challenged and having its plaque shattered was truly startling.
...
Amidst the external uproar, Yang Cao and Ye Xin had already begun their work inside Fuyuan Mountain Experimental Base.
Ye Xin’s main task was to observe the experimental progress within the base.
Yang Cao’s primary responsibility was to assist them in overcoming the problem of the parasite, which, after a period of time, became uncontrollable by medication, beginning genetic mutation, or even completely losing control.
Engaging with these issues naturally involved dealing with parasites whose genes had been rewritten and gene-suppressing drugs.
This was precisely the reason for Yang Cao’s presence here.
They were able to access these because Yang Chen had stirred things up outside, and with the cooperation from inside and Night Fire’s intelligence support, they successfully passed Nagakami Ueno’s intelligence review.
Yang Cao, in particular, withstood professional scrutiny.
However, due to different research directions,
he also had to relearn the knowledge of genetic rewriting.
The gene-suppressing drugs were also extremely important.
Yang Cao was buried deep in the laboratory, only leaving to eat or use the bathroom, staying there the entire time.
Ye Xin stood outside the lab, observing Yang Cao’s frantic work mode, nodding slightly.
"He’s like this; once he goes into work mode, he doesn’t care about anything else," Ye Xin said indifferently.
Nagakami Ueno responded, "Yes, yes! I used to wonder how Dr. Byron, being so young, managed to become a doctor. But now it seems that he got to this point purely through real ability!"
Ye Xin chuckled lightly, "Of course! The people I choose are never subpar!"
"Indeed! Indeed! Your insight is as sharp as ever!" Nagakami Ueno flattered at the side.
"But that aside, your laboratory doesn’t seem to have made much progress! Still working on gene control? Didn’t you say it’s already in trials? When can it be put to use? Everyone’s competing in this area; the sooner you take control of stable genes, the sooner you’ll stand at the top of the world!" Ye Xin said.
Nagakami Ueno laughed and said, "I don’t really understand these things; the matters of scientific research are left to the institute. I’m only responsible for the internal security of the laboratory."
Ye Xin shook her head, "If someone really attacks the laboratory, do you think with just you guys, you could hold them off? Don’t blame me for not warning you; the last time in Flame Country at Xibo, there were mutates involved! If those things come here, who do you think could withstand it? You? Ha!"
Nagakami Ueno looked embarrassed, lowering his head slightly and his eyes flickering.
After a while, Nagakami Ueno caught up with Ye Xin, "Miss Sela, actually, the experiment has been ongoing. As for stability, it still requires testing and verification. However, for practical combat, it’s no longer an issue."
"Oh?" Ye Xin showed interest, "Take me to see it!"
"This way, please!" Nagakami Ueno gestured invitingly.
To gain Ye Xin’s attention and the favor from the forces behind the role of Sela she played, Nagakami Ueno decided to let Ye Xin access deeper secrets.
After taking several elevators, Nagakami Ueno brought Ye Xin to a considerably deep underground level.
In some places, traces of magma were even visible.
This was already very deep.
But even so, it wasn’t over yet.
After opening a door as heavy as a bank vault, they entered, and following a staircase for about ten minutes, they arrived at a spacious area resembling an airplane hangar.
Inside, many large metal blocks had been divided.
Ye Xin examined them and discovered that these metal blocks were actually individual rooms!
Could it be that the experimental subjects were inside them?
Ye Xin felt intrigued.
After all, this represented the top secrets of the laboratory.
"Are they all in here?" Ye Xin asked.
Nagakami Ueno nodded with a smile, "Exactly, they are all inside, but some experimental subjects are unstable, so I won’t show you those. I’ll show you a few of the more successful specimens."
Ye Xin nodded slightly.
Under Nagakami Ueno’s guidance, they arrived at the door of Metal Room 008.
After a series of code verifications, the door opened, and the two entered inside.
After undergoing disinfection, they reached a somewhat cramped room.
In front was a one-way glass, offering a view inside.
Ye Xin noticed five people inside, five young men, with different appearances, motionless personalities, and varied outfits.
Some were gaming, some playing pool, some drinking red wine, some crafting something, and some watching anime.
Five people with five different hobbies.
"This is the current batch that’s relatively stable. Although there are other specimens, these five have always been used in experiments outside, so there’s extensive data on them, and they are very stable," Nagakami Ueno introduced to Ye Xin.
Ye Xin carefully observed the five of them, frowning thoughtfully.
After a while, Ye Xin finally asked, "What’s special about these five people?"
Nagakami Ueno smiled slightly, looking quite proud.
Pointing to one of the chubby ones, "This one, he’s incredibly strong! He can lift an armored jeep!"
"This one, his limbs are like rubber, capable of stretching."
"This one can devour things! A big mouth that swallows everything..."
...
After introducing the five individuals, Nagakami Ueno proudly observed Ye Xin, watching her expressions and reactions.
But to his disappointment, Ye Xin didn’t display any surprise or amazement; instead, she looked cold, even frowning!
Yes, she was frowning!
Could it be she was dissatisfied?
Nagakami Ueno felt a bit panicked.
This was his best asset.
Ye Xin slowly said, "I don’t understand; are these abilities something you set up?"
"No, no, no! We didn’t set them; these abilities awakened on their own! You must understand that each parasite’s reaction with its host is different, so the abilities generated vary, with significant differences in strength too," Nagakami Ueno explained.
Ye Xin frowned and said, "Differences in strength are easy to explain because each person’s antibodies differ. Parasites are foreign entities, like viruses; it’s normal for the body to generate antibodies to fight them. But these abilities are strange. You say you can write genes and suppress mutations. But have you ever considered that the source of their abilities might be a mutation in itself?"
"This..." Nagakami Ueno was at a loss for words.
That question certainly stumped him.
