89 A product of genetic modification (1/2)

Liu Bu and Luo Xinyu looked at them in surprise. When they were brought back here earlier, the Qing Consortium's combat troops were still dealing with the Experimental. So was this commotion related to the troops bringing back the Experimental? Honestly speaking, both of them were curious. Just what were those Experimentals?

But a moment later, they were stunned. They saw a multilayered, reinforced steel cage get carried over. Lying inside of it was a gray… person!

Liu Bu suspiciously checked out the person inside the cage. That person was riddled with bullets, but there wasn't much bleeding. It was as though it could control its skin and muscles to close up its wounds the instant the bullet entered its body.

This would be pretty unimaginable to the average person because no one could control their bodies like that.

In addition, this gray figure was chained up by its arms and legs!

The chains had been meant to imprison the person somewhere, but it had somehow managed to break them off. Did the sound that Liu Bu and the others hear the other night come from this person?

At this moment, Liu Bu remembered the ravaged corpse of Xu Xia and the human teeth marks on it. He vomited on the spot at the thought. When Xu Xianchu and the others said that it was a human who bit Xu Xia's corpse, he did not believe them. But now, there was no reason not to believe it.

Feelings of terror and disgust were gripping Liu Bu's stomach like they were squeezing everything out of it.

He had no food inside him, so he could only vomit out a pale-green mixture of gastric juices and bile.

Qing Zhen looked at Liu Bu with great interest. ”It looks like you also have some understanding of this thing here. Have you seen it chewing on a corpse too?”

Luo Xinyu's reaction was tougher than Liu Bu. She forced herself to calm down and asked, ”Just what is this thing?”

”Since it's called an Experimental, then of course it's something that's used for performing experiments on.” Qing Zhen said, ”But don't misunderstand, this thing's got nothing to do with our Qing Consortium. They are a product from the Pre-Cataclysm times. We also found out about their existence just recently.”

”It was from before The Cataclysm?” Luo Xinyu said, rather shocked. ”How many years has it already been since The Cataclysm happened? Can they live for so long? Wait, when you said 'they'...”

It was at this time that Luo Xinyu realized there wasn't just one of these things around!

Qing Zhen carefully sized up the ”person” in the cage. He said, ”They seem to have just escaped from the research laboratory. Even I'm very curious about how they managed to live until now. This is basically a living specimen.”

Liu Bu shivered. This Qing Zhen was treating a living person as a specimen, even if that person was neither human nor demon.

Luo Xinyu suddenly realized what the Qing Consortium had come to the Jing Mountains for. They had even mobilized a large number of industrial machinery and spared no manpower or logistics, all so they could locate the research laboratory where these freaks were previously imprisoned!

When they realized that there wasn't just one of these Experimentals around, they finally understood why the combat troops had called for support at first contact with the Experimental. It was because they were worried there would be more of them in the area!

”How many Experimentals did you all encounter, and how many people were injured or killed in the capture of this Experimental?” Qing Zhen asked.

Nearby, someone answered, ”We only encountered this one. We mobilized five platoons, and three people died while another 13 were injured.”
