124: out of control

“Beep, beep, beep—”

An urgent alarm blared in the ward.

The researcher responsible for observation turned pale, immediately rushed to the third-floor laboratory, and found Ye Yi.

“This is bad, Gao Lingfeng has completely lost control!”

Upon hearing this, Ye Yi merely nodded, then continued to immerse himself in his experiment.

The researcher couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.

Not long after, an excited expression appeared on Ye Yi’s face.

He carefully held a black dose in his palm, gazed at it with fascination for a moment, then said:

“Let’s go!”

The researcher was a bit dazed, but seeing Ye Yi already heading towards the elevator, he quickly followed.

In the elevator, the researcher looked at the black dose in Ye Yi’s hand and couldn’t help but ask:

“Director, what is this?”

Ye Yi did not answer.

The researcher was also tactful and immediately stopped asking further questions.

The elevator descended quickly, arriving at the ward on the sixth floor in no time.

However, even before they got close, beast-like roars could be heard.

Accompanied by violent, ear-splitting crashing sounds.

The researcher looked at the ward’s walls and door, made of high-strength steel, which had been twisted and deformed from being smashed from the inside out, and his face instantly broke out in a cold sweat.

“Such terrifying power, can a human truly possess it?”

Ye Yi shook his head, then quickly nodded.

“Humans naturally cannot possess such power, but a New Human can.”

After speaking, he tapped a few times on his integrated wristband.

The floor beneath their feet immediately opened up, revealing complex machinery and wiring reflecting a cold silver light below.

Then, with a mechanical sliding sound, a silver pipe resembling a chimney quickly sprang out.

Ye Yi stepped forward and dropped the black dose inside.

The pipe automatically slid down, the mechanical sliding sound resumed, and in a moment, the floor returned to its original state.

The researcher saw the expectant look in Ye Yi’s eyes, immediately realized something, and quickly pulled up the surveillance footage of the ward.

Sure enough, in less than ten seconds.

A black mist sprayed out from various corners and rapidly spread throughout the entire ward.

And Gao Lingfeng, whose eyes were already bloodshot and whose body was covered in a dark red mist, immediately froze as he came into contact with the black mist.

Then he fell straight to the ground like a zombie.

The researcher was stunned by this sight.

He had previously used highly concentrated anesthetic doses to try and control the berserk Gao Lingfeng, but they had no effect whatsoever.

How could Gao Lingfeng be knocked out so quickly upon contact with this black dose?!

What ingredients was this dose made from!

Ye Yi pressed a few more times on his wristband.

The ward’s ventilation system immediately started working, quickly expelling all the black mist.

“Call a few people to take Gao Lingfeng to my laboratory.”

Ye Yi looked at the motionless Gao Lingfeng with satisfaction, turned and gave an instruction, then hurried away… Ten minutes later, Gao Lingfeng, bound by steel handcuffs, was pushed into the laboratory by several guards.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Ye Yi, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately went to meet them and directed them to move Gao Lingfeng onto the platform.

After the guards finished their work, seeing that Ye Yi had no other instructions, they bowed and left.

Ye Yi turned to look at Gao Lingfeng, who was still in a state of paralysis, blinking his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this moment, footsteps sounded from behind him.

At the same time, a cold voice rang out.

“Report on the current mutation status.”

Ye Yi turned around and immediately said respectfully:

“Yes! Gao Lingfeng’s cell awakening rate has reached 15%. Aside from physical abnormalities such as his eyes turning crimson, teeth growing out, and nails lengthening, the mist emanating from his body has also turned dark red.”

“At the same time, Gao Lingfeng has begun to experience cognitive impairment, emotional disturbance, and other mental issues, becoming extremely aggressive.”

Ye Chen nodded.

Seeing this, Ye Yi continued:

“The higher the activity of the hongjun particle, the stronger Gao Lingfeng’s physical qualities will be, but correspondingly, a side effect of rapidly declining rationality will also appear.”

“If this problem is not solved, the ‘New Human’ project cannot proceed.”

Hearing this, a sharp glint flashed in Ye Chen’s eyes, but he still did not interrupt.

“Additionally, it is important to note that the new type of anesthetic dose obtained through studying Strange Beast will gradually lose its effectiveness as Gao Lingfeng’s mutation progresses.”

“At that time, an unrestrained Gao Lingfeng will join the Strange Beast side, becoming a great enemy to us humans.”

“The above are the conclusions drawn from this observation experiment.”

Ye Chen nodded, continuing to look at Gao Lingfeng, who was like a puppet, and fell into deep thought.

After a while, he looked up and said:

“Submit an application to the Commander to continue the hongjun particle activation experiment.”

“We need more test subjects!”

Ye Yi was somewhat surprised to hear this, but still asked:

“Are we still recruiting volunteers?”

Ye Chen nodded.

“Of course. Judging from Gao Lingfeng’s situation, volunteers with strong obsessions seem to have a higher success rate in activating hongjun particle.”

Ye Yi then looked at Gao Lingfeng again, hesitated for a moment, and still asked:

“What about Gao Lingfeng then? How should he be dealt with?”

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said:

“Continue to observe. If the process is determined to be irreversible, then activate the Wall Project.”

Ye Yi’s expression changed slightly, and he couldn’t help but glance at Gao Lingfeng, feeling a hint of pity in his heart, but he dared not go against his original self, so he could only nod.

The Wall Project… I can only wish you good luck, Gao Lingfeng!
