The Moments = This song gives me the feels when I read this chapter and next. Recommended to read chapter and listen to song on desktop/laptop, but that's up to you!
“This cage is made from a metallic column of at least three centimeters. It can withstand the might of elephants and the ram of rhinoceroses; even if dinosaurs from the jurassic period were to strike it, it wouldn’t break. So moving the infrastructure requires an immense amount of strength.” The white-coat scientist said as he watched Liu Gan grip the bars. A strange expression on the scientist revealed his uneasiness.
Liu Gan didn’t care about the white-coat scientist’s statement. With added strength and a long grunt, he was able to bend the three centimeters of metallic column of the cage!
“What kind of person are you?” the wide eyed white-coat scientist looked at Liu Gan.
“Our Elder Liu isn’t like a normal person. If you don’t tell Elder Liu the truth, I can guarantee that your upcoming days will be painful.” Zhang ShengLi coldly smiled. Zhang ShengLi also tried to do the same feat with the bent bar closest to Liu Gan, except it didn't budge at all. So Zhang ShengLi immediately gave up trying to copycat Liu Gan to save himself from further embarrassment.
What level is Elder Liu exactly? His amount of strength does not seem to simply be one level higher.
With another grunt, Liu Gan mustered up his strength for another go at the bars. The metallic column bent a little more. Even though Liu Gan ordered Wang DeCheng to search for a key, there was no guarantee that they would find it. So as a secondary plan, he wanted to try bending the metallic columns.
After bending the columns to a certain angle, Liu Gan took a moment to rest. He intended to bend the column Zhang ShengLi had attempted but been unable to bend previously.
“When we arrived on the island, we faced a humanoid creature that could hallucinate people. From the corpse of that creature, we obtained a set of keys that lead underground. So I imagine that creature has something to do with your researches here?” Liu Gan pulled out a biscuit to hand over to the scientist and poured him a mouthful of water.
“Wait, that creature was killed by you?” The white-coat scientist gasped, but he tried his best to not reveal his fear.
“Of course we did. If we can't even do that, then how else would we be able to come so far down underground? Whatever Elder Liu asks you, you should honestly answer and not hide anything from us. Otherwise, we will change our approach with the questions. You should just tell us the truth so you won't have to suffer any painful torture.” Zhang ShengLi threatened.
Before this, Zhang ShengLi had never threatened anyone, nor had he ever tried to coerce someone like this before. It was the type of scene that you saw in movies, but to force the scientist, he had to say stuff like this. It was something he picked up by watching those very same movies.
“You said those creatures. It could be related to our top research that we conducted. We were following a set molecular formula to develop the medicine. Amongst a portion of people that we injected with the medicine, some of them produced a type of pheromone. This type of pheromone can affect other people by inducing hallucinations that alter reality into a fantasy-like state. You said that creature you met above could possibly related to one of our experiment,” the scientist replied to Liu Gan.
“Why would the underground laboratory key be on the creature’s body?” Liu Gan inquired.
