Chapter 612 - Raid (1/2)

“I see!”

There was a viciously icy glint in Xiao Luo’s gaze. This was the same family that had just been reunited only yesterday, and the memory of them holding each other in front of a supermarket was still fresh in his mind. To think that they had now been abducted and brought here to become live test subjects shocked Xiao Luo. Undoubtedly, this family had no idea that the vacation they so looked forward to would come to such a tragic end.

Nakamura Miko completely misread Xiao Luo’s reaction. She nodded repeatedly and responded, “Yes. This woman’s husband is a prime specimen. In the past, whenever we pushed the threshold, most of the subjects died because they could not handle the high level of pain when we altered their genes. However, this woman’s husband has an incredible mental fortitude, and it was with this willpower that he survived the most painful period of the process. He has now become the first successful genetically modified ‘ultimate soldier’ we managed to develop.”

“Why was his will to live so strong?”

It was not Xiao Luo but Suzuki Ikuo who asked that question. As someone from the yakuza, he genuinely believed that the Ri nationals had gone too far this time. Using human beings as test subjects for such an experiment was far crueler than just killing them outright.

Nakamura Miko looked at the mother-and-son pair in the metal cell. “As a husband and a father, it was his duty is to protect them. He must have survived for the sake of this woman and his child. This cell is under surveillance, so we transmitted the CCTV feed to the laboratory on the second floor. It appeared to give him a powerful motivation to stay alive, and he withstood the pain during the genetic modification process.”

“F*ck, this is excessively cruel, even just thinking about it!” Suzuki Ikuo swore.

“Cruel?”

Nakamura Miko looked at him as if she was staring at an alien. She could not understand why he would say something like this.

“Which room is the Lady Poison being held in?” Xiao Luo asked, carefully suppressing his rage.

“She’s the most dangerous of our test subject, so we detained her in a cell down that way,” Nakamura Miko said, pointing further down the hall.

“This subject’s entire body is covered in very potent toxins, and the average person would instantly succumb to her poison simply by coming into contact with her. If it wasn’t for the genetically modified soldiers, there would have been no way that we could have captured her.”

“Her entire body is coated in potent toxins? How can that be?”

Suzuki Ikuo was starting to feel that this facility was something right out of The Arabian Nights. If her entire body was covered in poison, then how could she still be alive?

“Even with our research and technology, we have found no explanation yet why Lady Poison’s entire body is coated in toxins. Her case is special, and it has become one of our primary areas of focus for our research in this facility,” Nakamura Miko replied.

And soon, they reached the end of the corridor.

Through the window on the metal cell, Xiao Luo could see a restraining device like a crystal coffin that stood vertically. The Lady Poison, Fu Yiren, was confined within it, completely naked. The small space barely made it possible for her to move even a finger. There was a needle stuck in her, and it allowed the researchers to draw her blood by just pushing on a button.

Xiao Luo’s heart sank, and a wave of emotions hit him. It was plain as day that Fu Yiren was now extremely weak after being subjected to this treatment as a test subject. She was not as radiant and enchanting as she once was.

He looked at the metal cell, and then called out coldly, “Open it!”

Open it?

Nakamura Miko started to become suspicious, and said, “Major General Matsushita, she’s extremely dangerous. We cannot…”

SLASH~

There was a swishy sound, and she suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She looked down and saw a knife sticking out of her chest.

Nakamura Miko collapsed without so much as a scream. The mute man was standing behind her with a savage glint to his glare, and in his hand, he gripped a short blade dripping with blood. It was clear that Nakamura Miko had been killed by him.

“Motherf*cker, what are you doing?” Suzuki Ikuo cried. He paled as he looked at the mute man with the fierce face in utter disbelief.

“Ah… Ah,” the mute man said as he pointed his dagger at Nakamura Miko’s corpse. He confronted Suzuki Ikuo as if he was quarreling with him.

Suzuki Ikuo was in great distress. “I understand, I know that you had your tongue cut out when you tried to protect your wife and daughter. Even so, you can’t just kill this woman on impulse. Do you know what you’ve just done?” he said.
