Rebirth: Leading Families to Survive in the Apocalypse-Chapter 703: Test Subject Released from Storage
Chapter 703: Chapter 703: Test Subject Released from Storage
Lian Jiyue looked at the six people in the nutrient solution and said, "Lian Ze has said that with the current human brain system, it is impossible to fully absorb a Crystal Core that doesn’t belong to oneself. Even if it is forcibly made to merge, the rejection reaction will only get stronger over time."
Han Yi’s condition is the best proof. He only moved one Crystal Core, yet he had memories and thoughts that didn’t belong to him. This is one of the rejection reactions Lian Ze talked about.
"Tsk tsk, I don’t know what these people are testing. Throughout history, the only way to take over another’s body has been through soul possession. Do these people want to use their own bodies and yet have someone else’s abilities? That’s impossible."
Nie Qing said while shaking his head.
At this moment, the lab suddenly plunged into darkness. The family quickly huddled together, with Lu Hao and Lu Guanhai igniting two flames to light up the surroundings.
"What’s going on? Is it a power outage?"
Su Xiangzhe asked.
"I don’t know, but if there’s a power outage here..."
Lian Jiyue looked at those people. Could it be someone deliberately controlling it?
Fortunately, Su Jin had given the storage bag to Su Xiangzhe, and the bag also contained enough lighting equipment. Su Xiangzhe took out several long-range flashlights, and although the lab wasn’t as bright as before, it was still clear enough to see the surroundings.
Gurgle gurgle...
Gurgle...
A not-so-loud noise came over, but in the quiet lab, everyone could hear it clearly.
The few people in the nutrient solution had opened their eyes one after another, and the nutrient solution in those containers was vanishing at a visible rate while being stared at by several expressionless people. Huang Yunxiang immediately got goosebumps all over her body.
"Cough cough, hello there, we are just passing by"
Lin Xiuyuan waved at them and then looked back at Mao Qiqi. They are still normal people, aren’t they? They look quite frightening.
"They are people, just like that person before,"
Mao Qiqi said, understandingly. In her map, the small dots representing these people were flashing just like Han Yi’s. Could this be the unstable state of rejection?
Crack!
The container marked with number four was shattered by a punch from a Special Ability User inside, and the person came out with his head bowed, with wet nutrient solution dripping from his body, probably because he had been soaked for too long, making his skin appear abnormally pale.
The man of medium stature, as he lifted his head, everyone saw his bloodshot eyes and his restrained expression.
"Watch out!"
Lu Hao threw a Fireball at the man who had suddenly attacked them without any warning!
The Fireball hit the man in the chest, violently slamming him against the wall behind him!
Lu Hao had not infused the Fireball with much Special Ability, but the man stood up unharmed and even when his bare feet stepped on the glass shards on the ground, no blood flowed out.
"It’s Power enhancement, everyone be careful,"
Lu Hao said.
"Why is he attacking us? We don’t even know him."
Lin Xiuyuan felt this was an undeserved disaster, it wasn’t like this in the TV shows he had seen. Weren’t they supposed to regard them as parents or something at first sight?
However, Lian Jiyue noticed the man’s sharply elongated toenails and fingernails, and couldn’t help but think of a possibility: "These people might have been transformed into Dual-Element, and pharmaceutical products extracted from Mutant animal Crystal Cores might have been injected into their bodies."
Just like him when he went mad!
Sizzle~
Su Xiangzhe launched a Thunder Snake along the road surface, striking at the man who was once again lunging at them!
The man nimbly dodged the Thunder Snake’s attack, then swung his fist and ran towards Mao Qiqi from another direction!
"Power Element and Speed Element?"
Mao Qiqi did not dodge but smiled instead, finding this much more interesting than fighting zombies.
Lian Jiyue wanted to intercept the man’s attack but was stopped by Mao Qiqi; she wanted to handle it herself.
"I have never tested my skills against a Dual-Element Ability User."
As Mao Qiqi spoke, she drew her dagger and charged at the man! fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
The dagger had been made for her by Rong Yuan during her idle times at the base; its shape and size were exactly as she had imagined. Though she also had no problem using a long sword, she preferred a dagger when facing either humans or mutant animals.
The man and Qiqi fought vigorously. Although they appeared evenly matched, the onlookers did not intervene, as they could see that Qiqi’s strikes were all landing on the man’s body. However, the man was still undergoing Power enhancement, so the weapon did not inflict any damage on him.
"Hehe...."
The man blocked Qiqi’s overhead attack after she jumped up, his eyes bloodshot as he stared at Mao Qiqi, who was very close to him.
Suddenly, he rapidly flashed to a far-off desk from his original position and then lunged towards Qiqi!
Zi!
Qiqi knelt on both legs, facing upwards, sliding under the Power Element man, who widened his eyes and crashed straight onto the floor, motionless, with blood oozing from under him.
"Yo, Qiqi’s slide tackle, a move we haven’t seen in a long while,"
Lin Xiuyuan whistled. The slide tackle was a move taught to Qiqi by Lu Hao, suitable for attacks with short weapons. Qiqi’s beautiful slide tackle just now, infused with her spiritual power, had directly sliced through the man’s body.
"These people are different from Xiao Yue, I tried communicating with him using my spiritual power, but he didn’t respond at all,"
Mao Qiqi stood up and said.
During the fight, she had also tried to communicate with the man, hoping he could regain consciousness or stop the attack, but the man had shown no response at all.
Meanwhile, as the sound of shattering glass rang out, several other containers were also being smashed by the people inside, their gaze uniformly fixed on the man on the ground who had died, the scent of blood deeply stimulating their nerves, and everyone present became their next target.
"Damn, they’ve all got red-eye disease!"
Lin Xiuyuan used an Ice Shield to shield Huang Yunxiang from several metal spike attacks. Initially, he had hoped to treat these people cordially, but now it seemed that these people had no intention of treating them amicably.
One after another, the bloodshot-eyed individuals lunged toward their family!
"How is this any different from zombies?"
Lu Guanhai threw a Fireball and said.
"It’s like... puppets?"
Nie Qing thought for a moment, feeling these people seemed like puppets without consciousness.
This word also caught Lu Hao’s attention. Among the nutrient solution-filled containers at the scene, there was one that hadn’t been broken, and a man was standing inside it. They hadn’t looked closely before; only now did he notice that this particular container seemed slightly different from the others.
