Chapter 199 Aurora (2/2)
”The people in white lab coats have not come as often. The last injection was thirteen days ago already.” Aurora's large eyes blinked, and she showed a faint smile.
Hila smiled reluctantly. She looked at the needle scars on Aurora's body, and it felt like her heart was being stabbed rapidly. She knew why they drew blood from her fewer times—it was because Aurora recovered slower. Every time her blood and bone marrow was extracted, she needed more time to recover.
Her ability allowed her to feel one's life force. The life force of Aurora, which had once been as bright as the sun, was now a candlelight that might extinguish anytime.
Her life force was withering.
Aurora sat down and hugged her knees. ”Tell me stories elder sister. I want to hear the last one that you didn't finish.”
Hila sat down too and leaned on the glass.
”Where did we stop at last time?” she whispered.
”Hmm…” Aurora tilted her head and thought about it. ”The uncle called Zero escaped from the base. What happened next? Did sis fight with him?”
After a moment's thought, Hila continued the story with a soft and gentle tone.
…
In the office of the leader of the Germinal Organization, a row of superiors stood in front of the desk and reported the various situations in the organization.
The leader sat straight and tight. No one knew what the expression behind the mask was. His black gloves covered hands overlapped each other under his nose. ”The Inhuman Phenomenon has attracted the attention of the Six Nations, but it won't last for long. At least the Inhumans made some time for us to recover. Be prepared, the enemy may invade Andrea any time,” he said.
The officers nodded in assent.
The leader looked around and asked, ”Where's Cyberlos?”
”There have been breakthroughs in a few projects recently—he's busy.”
The leader stood up suddenly and left with large steps.
…
Electrolux was so touched that he was tearing up.
After a month-long ordeal, he was finally released.
It had not been easy!
Although he was trapped in prison, he had been paying attention to the forums, and he knew that the Germinal Organization had captured other players as well. After he was released, he was sent to join a special unit consisting of players; it was called the Inhuman Unit. It was all the unlucky players whose organization was locked due to being brainwashed.
Although he was far behind on levels, Electrolux was confident that that with his Esper ability that had A-grade potential, as long as he levelled up, he would definitely be stronger than other players.
A non-Chinese on Planet Aquamarine player like this was not uncommon. Some casual players did not care which planet was whose base camp; they only chose novice planets to their likings. Every novice planet had casual players from various countries.
It was Cyberlos' idea to put the brainwashed Inhumans into one unit, and it had been accepted by the leader, who felt that undead Inhumans had a strategic value in war.
The leader had assigned a battle instructor to specifically design training and actual combat plans for the Inhumans.
At this time, Cyberlos was in another research lab. He stood in front of a specially designed sealed pod. The research personnel on the side were steadily adjusting the devices. There was an test subject in the pod, and a scream filled with madness and agony could be heard from within.
After some time, the inside of the sealed pod quieted down. Its gate opened, and what was inside could be seen.
It was a man fully armed with all kinds of exoskeleton mechanical parts that were connected into his bones. His skin had all changed into a soft, stretchable metal. With his bald head and machinery everywhere, his body size had grown a considerable amount. He looked like a beast.
This guy was none other than the first test subject of the [Super Soldier Project], No. 1!
