169: Chapter Lord of Flesh and Blood, Strengthening Potion

A few days later, Su Wuming was once again invited by the Great Xia Research Institute to the White Tiger District.

"Professor Zhuang, what are we researching this time?"

Having become familiar with Zhuang Wen, Su Wuming no longer acted courteously but inquired directly.

Zhuang Wen thought for a moment and decided not to hide it anymore, as the other party would know soon anyway.

"This time we are mainly researching enhancement potions!"

"Enhancement potions?"

Su Wuming's eyebrows twitched upon hearing this. "Isn't that something from the Great Eagle Country? Are we researching this too?"

The Great Eagle Country has a force called Gene Warriors, who gain power by enhancing and altering their genes.

However, the mortality rate is too high; often only one C-class warrior can be produced out of a thousand people, which is only comparable to the Martial Master Realm.

To improve, they can only take higher-level gene potions, but the mortality rate will be even higher, which is why Great Xia has been unwilling to research this.

Furthermore, Su Wuming is not skilled in this area. Although he has a lot of technology in his mind, it is all related to machines.

How can you talk about flesh and genes with a mechanical life form? Isn't that just nonsense?

Seeing Su Wuming's expression, Zhuang Wen thought the other party had misunderstood and quickly explained.

"No, Professor Su, what we are researching is different from the Great Eagle Country's enhancement potions."

After speaking, he looked around to make sure no one was eavesdropping before lowering his voice and saying, "Actually, this is a direct order from Prince Wuan. It is said that they captured a fellow whose flesh can regenerate infinitely, and he can rival a Martial Grandmaster with just his Physical Body."

Su Wuming was startled, then seemed to understand something and showed a look of shock. "Really? Is it a demon beast?"

"No, but it is said that through a certain special saint relic, they discovered that the fellow was human before, but somehow turned into his current appearance."

Zhuang Wen showed a hint of excitement. "If we can find the secret behind this, then everyone in Great Xia will truly be like dragons, and this chaotic world will be completely pacified.

Perhaps we can even return to a peaceful era, as recorded in ancient books from three hundred years ago, where even ordinary people can go out without life danger."

As he spoke, Zhuang Wen showed a look of longing, but Su Wuming was shocked in his heart.

"Able to withstand a Martial Grandmaster with just his Physical Body, and transformed from a human."

This description reminded him of Him and also of his past self. At this moment, his mind was racing.

"Could it be Number 009? He was actually captured by Great Xia's Prince Wuan?!"

For some reason, he thought of Shadow's questions and reactions from a while ago, and his eyes suddenly showed excitement.

"Opportunity, this is a huge opportunity."

If he could get in touch with the other party and rescue him to build a good relationship, then he would not be isolated among the Sequencers.

"Professor Zhuang, let's go quickly, don't let Chen Lao wait too long."

Su Wuming urged Zhuang Wen, who was still looking longing, and Zhuang Wen was not annoyed but showed a look of mutual understanding.

"Indeed, Professor Su, we are the same kind of people. You also want to return to that era of equality for all, right?"

Su Wuming didn't care what he was saying, just nodded directly and pulled him inside.

Upon entering the Great Xia Research Institute, Chen Lao and other researchers were already ready.

Seeing everyone was present, he took out sets of materials and handed them to everyone to read. "These are the materials we currently have. Take a look first."

Su Wuming immediately examined the materials in his hand carefully, his trembling hands unable to hide his inner excitement.

Codename: Lord of Flesh

Ability: Can continuously derive flesh. Those who consume its flesh mass can be transformed into flesh monsters.

Manifestation: Loses skin, transforms into Flesh Apostles, lacks sanity, has an extreme craving for biological flesh.

In just three lines of text, Su Wuming had already confirmed that this guy was definitely a Sequencer. As for the sequence number, he would have to find an opportunity to verify it.

"Chen Lao, what should we specialize in researching next?"

Someone put down the materials and asked, and the others also looked at Chen Lao, with confusion and anticipation in their eyes.

Chen Lao did not beat around the bush. "The higher-ups will regularly send us the other party's flesh for research. As for the research direction, they hope we can control it."

"Control? How to control?"

The word 'control' is easy to understand, but no one dared to guess wildly now.

Is it to control the guy after he has transformed into a Flesh Apostle, or to control something within that flesh mass that causes people to go mad and lose their sanity?

"Currently, the Lord of Flesh can be said to be forcefully kept alive. We don't have much time."

Chen Lao also sighed upon hearing this. "As for the specific research direction, you will decide it yourselves, as long as you don't let down Prince Wuan's entrustment."

Seeing Chen Lao say this, everyone knew that the difficulty was certainly not small, but no one was timid; instead, they were eager to try.

"Due to the confidentiality of this matter, please be prepared. No one can leave until the second order from the higher-ups is issued."

After he finished speaking, no one objected, including Su Wuming, because this point was negligible for him.

Anyway, he could contact Su Yao and the others remotely. It was just that not being able to see this Lord of Flesh bothered him a little.

But he also knew that for such a confidential matter, it was already good enough for a private research personnel like him to have access. Wanting to see the guy personally captured by Prince Wuan was simply as difficult as ascending to heaven.

Unless he made a significant contribution, such as completing this research task.

Su Wuming had great confidence in this point. Although he had not been involved in this area of research, the Great Dao is the same in different paths; he could certainly draw inferences from other cases.

"This is a part of the Lord of Flesh's flesh. You can research it yourselves."

Then Chen Lao gave each person a storage ring. "As for the human subjects for experiments, they have been transferred from the death row inmates in various prisons. You can first examine this flesh."

Suddenly, Chen Lao's expression became extremely serious. "You must remember to keep these pieces of flesh safe and do not harm yourselves for the sake of experiments."

Su Wuming naturally understood the meaning of these words. The other party was afraid that someone might swallow this flesh themselves for the sake of experiments to experience it firsthand.

Although nothing seemed obvious now, if someone really got stuck in a rut and the research made no progress for a long time, it was indeed possible.

Subsequently, everyone was assigned a laboratory, and then they dispersed. Now, everyone was clueless, so the best way was for each person to explore on their own.

It would be best if you could discover something, but it would be fine if you couldn't.

Only after having their own personal observation and experience would brainstorming together be more effective.

After Su Wuming returned to his assigned laboratory, he immediately took out the still wriggling flesh from the storage ring. Feeling the slightly familiar aura on it, he became even more certain of his guess.

"I hope you won't disappoint me when we meet!"
