Chapter 161 Restlessness
My hazy memories seem to be sealed off by some force, but I can still make out a rough outline.
The waves crashed against the rocks, the sand was cold, and my fingertips seemed to touch the surging seawater. My body was dragged by an irresistible force and finally fell into the sea.
The moment I fell into the water, all the sounds from the outside world became blurred, and my mind went blank, unable to process any information from the outside world.
My vision was filled with white foam, and the heavy, rapid, and intense feeling of falling made my heart pound violently.
The near-death sensation of seawater rushing into the nasal cavity made the lungs feel completely full, so cumbersome that they were powerless to struggle and kept falling.
Just before he was about to die and faint, he was suddenly rescued and lay on the ground panting like a dead dog, completely exhausted.
He was surrounded by people wrapped in white and wearing black masks, who formed shadows over him.
What they said was, "It's an honor for you to become our test subject."
What followed were countless cruel experiments. His shattered superhuman core was forcibly dug out, yet they left him with a sliver of hope.
They pried open his brain and glued the zombie's crystal core and the superpower core together in an unknown way.
They called him Test Subject 2199. The moment the crystal core and the superhuman test subject were placed in his brain, the intense rejection reaction made him feel like he was dying. They coldly recorded the data from the sidelines.
No, it wasn't just him.
Turning his head, he saw countless others like him, locked in beds, ostensibly for "treatment."
Men, women, strange beasts, sea monsters, zombies, or mutated plants—they squeezed every last bit of value out of everyone they met.
A blurry figure walked in from outside the door, the sound of leather shoes on the smooth ground getting closer and closer. The completely black and blurry figure was impossible to see clearly, but his vision uncontrollably narrowed little by little until he finally fell into a coma.
The memories Jiang Yue extracted were only fragmented and quickly came to an end, and the images of Zhang Wenjing appearing in everyone's minds also came to an abrupt halt.
"This...this laboratory, is by the sea?"
When Xian Wenrui said this, he already had the answer in his heart.
"Who exactly are they?"
Sheng Xue clenched her fists, her clenched fists trembling slightly. She placed her hands on her thighs, feeling a strange sense of panic.
The usually calm Zhang Wenjing could no longer suppress her supernatural abilities. Hatred welled up in her heart, reminding her of the scene when her sister died tragically.
From the memories of Sun Jianbai that Jiang Yue glimpsed, it can be seen that countless others have also experienced all of this.
Zhang Wenjing couldn't calm down. She thought that destroying that laboratory was the end, but she didn't expect... it was just the beginning.
Lu Yize used his superpower to grab a handful of green hair that had been cut off from the spot where he and Sun Jianbai had just fought, put it under Xiaobai's nose, and asked, "Can you pinpoint their location?"
Xiao Bai's nose is 1200 times stronger than a human's. It's feared that the physical abilities of superhumans are constantly evolving. However, even after the mutation, Xiao Bai's sense of smell continues to improve, and the human sense of smell is still far inferior to Xiao Bai's.
Those shattered body parts might affect Xiaobai's judgment, but Sun Jianbai was alive, and his scent lingered in his hair.
Xiao Bai lowered its head and sniffed, and could roughly smell the lingering scent. It pinpointed the general location and roared towards the eastern sea area. Everyone else's eyes were all turned in that direction.
Jiang Yue turned to look at Lu Yize, then followed his gaze to the eastern sea. She secretly glanced at the solemn expressions of the others, and then frowned and pretended to be deep in thought.
Although she didn't know what she was thinking about.
"Do you think... Sun Jianbai might have deliberately leaked this to us?" Fan Jian asked uncertainly, scratching his head.
Black hair has now grown at the roots of his hair, making the boundary between his blond and black hair extremely clear, but the only thing that hasn't changed is his street-smart vibe.
Lu Yize stared at the green hair that had been cut off, recalling every word Sun Jianbai had said.
Finally, he spoke expressionlessly: "He deliberately brought a group of people with him, intentionally letting Jiang Yue read his memories. When there are too many coincidences, it is no longer an accident."
Did they deliberately create an opening to lure them forward?
This possibility cannot be ruled out. The mysterious organization in the laboratory still doesn't know their identities. Lu Yize recalled those people wearing white lab coats, and a surge of resentment rose in his heart.
The faint phantom pain emanating from his crippled legs from his past life haunted Lu Yize, and his past experiences left him deeply troubled. No matter who it was, he was determined to destroy these laboratories with his own hands!
Jiang Yue secretly moved closer to Lu Yize and touched his fingertips. It wasn't out of concern; she simply wanted to be close to Lu Yize. Her fingertips traced across his palm, and her fingertips moved between his fingers.
The cold touch made Lu Yize turn his head to look at her. Jiang Yue was holding his left hand at this moment. Jiang Yue had never been disfigured, lost her voice, or become disabled in her life.
They won't live in a rotten basement, and they won't have to hide their faces under heavy, unsightly coverings.
Lu Yize met Jiang Yue's eyes, which were blackened by zombie genes. The initial ferocity and bloodlust in her eyes had faded, and now she was just looking at him quietly like a normal person.
The restlessness that had been lingering in his heart was quietly calmed down. Lu Yize took her hand, then turned to the others and said, "Back to the central base."
They never had any objections to Lu Yize's words. In fact, because of Lu Yize's special ability, they returned to the central base even before Chen Mingzhang and the others.
After Chen Mingzhang returned, Lu Yize skipped the pleasantries and went straight to the point: "What discoveries did your base make regarding that mysterious organization?"
Chen Mingzhang's lips twitched. "You won't join our base, but you treat it like your own backyard, coming and going as you please? Is that really okay?"
However, he didn't dwell on such a trivial matter. Chen Mingzhang took out his special ability ring, on which appeared an organizational chart.
"This is our Donggu base's organizational chart. It's not a secret. Our base is divided into eight districts, and the people in each district are responsible for their respective duties. For example, our third district is responsible for attacking and driving away zombies and monsters."
"The tracking is usually handled by the Fifth District Captain. The reason we were able to uncover the thousand-square-meter laboratory underground in the North City was because the Fifth District sacrificed more than three hundred people to obtain the information."
"However, so far we still haven't been able to figure out the origin of this organization. It seems to have appeared out of thin air. And it's not just us; Xiyue and Beisha have also made discoveries."
"They have them there too?" Xian Wenrui said in surprise. "I thought it was just us who had these perverts, but they have them too? How long has this organization been brewing? Could this epidemic be the work of these people?"
