Chapter 1543: Dr. Monster
After the test, the monsters’ bodies had to be dragged to the harmless treatment workshop.
The tracked transport vehicles waved their multi-functional mechanical arms and placed the cultivation tanks containing the Demonic Halberd Pigs at the center of the test field. They did not return the way they came.
Instead, they drove into a garage that was carved out of the rock wall beside the test field.
The garage door was as thick as a vault door.
However, after repeated tearing and impact from the experiment subjects with Apocalyptic Beast blood flowing through them, the door still became severely deformed.
The gap between the door and the rock wall was thicker than hair.
There was no one in the garage. Plus, the surveillance cameras used for driverless surveillance on the tracked transport vehicles were also tilted to the side and extinguished.
Meng Chao silently drilled out from under the cha.s.sis of the fourth transport vehicle.
Then, he looked out through the cracks in the garage door.
The crisscrossing cracks gave him a wide field of vision.
It allowed him to clearly see the experimenters hiding behind the tempered gla.s.s above the rock wall.
Perhaps the earthquake had gradually gotten under control, and the air purification system in the underground base had been repaired in time, or…
Perhaps the level of protection there was relatively high, and the air circulation system was a self-contained system.
The experimenters standing above the test field did not wear negative pressure helmets and gas masks.
That allowed Meng Chao to clearly see the arrogant and deranged host who was surrounded by many experimenters.
It was beyond Meng Chao’s expectations.
He actually found the host somewhat familiar.
The experimenter had seemingly suffered severe external injuries.
His skull was completely covered by a protective sh.e.l.l made of reinforced alloy, whichextended all the way to the bottom of his left eye.
As such, his left eye had been replaced by a scarlet artificial eye.
There was also a circle of scarlet light spots around his eyeball. He should be able to activate various kinds of extraordinary functions, such as X-ray vision, microscopic vision, magnified vision, and telescopic vision.
In the undamaged right eye socket, the whites of his eye occupied 90% of the eyeball’s surface, and only a deep little dot was left in his pupil.
No matter who it was, his fake smile and electrifying gaze would make others feel as if they were being targeted by a predator.
In short, this host was like a poisonous snake with four limbs. He was wet, slippery, and cold, making others unwilling to stay by his side.
“Who is he?
“His appearance is so strange. If he’s an acquaintance, there’s no reason not to call him by his name.
“No, I don’t think I’ve dealt with him before. I just saw his picture somewhere. At that time, his skull wasn’t covered in metal patches, and his hair was as messy as a bird’s nest.
“Where was it? Was it…”
Meng Chao decomposed and reconstructed the man’s face in his brain.
After removing the metal patches and the artificial eye, he copied the relatively complete right side of his face to the left side, along with the messy hair.
After the face was restored, Meng Chao’s pupils suddenly contracted.
A name popped up in the depths of his brain: Fei Qingyun!
“That’s right, it’s him. He used to be a professor at our Agricultural University, an expert in biochemical modulation and genetic technology. He used to be a rising star in Agricultural University’s Animal Training Department. They said he had a good chance of becoming in charge of the Animal Training Department and might even become one of Agricultural University’s higher-ups!
“Unfortunately, due to his unconventional methods and his eagerness to achieve quick results, he always used the most extreme methods to conduct shocking research on monsters. He never even paid attention to the protection of his fellow experimenters. In the end, it resulted in a serious accident that caused his students to suffer heavy casualties.
“He was sued by his students’ parents.
“And during the investigation of the Supernatural Tower’s Academic Ethics Committee, it was discovered that this fellow had secretly purchased large amounts of prohibited monster ingredients and stimulants from the black market. Before conducting the experiment, he had injected the experimental subject with a dosage that far exceeded the limit of safety!
“As a biochemical expert, it was impossible for him not to know the consequences of doing so.
“However, he had clearly foreseen the risks of the experiment and what it would do to the monsters that he had modified. The speed and degree of their berserk state were likely to reach an appalling level, but he did not fulfill his corresponding duty of informing and managing the students. Instead, he watched his ignorant students enter the laboratory that was full of killing intent!
“In other words, the experimental subjects in Fei Qingyun’s eyes, besides the monster on the chopping board, were also his students, living human beings!
“The matter caused a huge uproar.
“Even Agricultural University’s reputation was seriously affected.
“Meanwhile, Fei Qingyun was sentenced to the harshest punishment.
“He continued to boast shamelessly on the trial platform.
“‘My goal is to control the strongest monster and use it to fight against other monsters. I want to win the Monster War as soon as possible.
“‘To achieve my goal, a small sacrifice is inevitable.
“‘There are so many soldiers fighting and sacrificing themselves on the front line every day. How can the students of Agricultural University cower in fear when faced with such a small risk?’
“Those comments earned Fei Qingyun the t.i.tle of ‘Dr. Monster.’
“Dr. Monster didn’t have the courage to ‘face death’ like he did when he was defending himself during the trial. On the way to his execution, he was attacked by a beast horde. When the scene turned chaotic, he actually took advantage of the chaos to escape.
“The Supernatural Tower then issued an order to kill Fei Qingyun without mercy.
“Countless adjudicators, bounty hunters, and monster hunters searched for his tracks all over the mountains and plains.
“Fei Qingyun fled Dragon City in a panic and sneaked deep into the wilderness.
“The adjudicators eventually caught up to him and burned him to a crisp in the intense battle. His ident.i.ty could only be determined through genetic testing.
“That incident happened two years before I enrolled in Agricultural University.
“After that, Fei Qingyun became a disgrace and a negative example in Agricultural University’s history.
“When students just started their studies in Agricultural Culture, the instructors would earnestly tell everyone about Fei Qingyun and advice the students. ‘Agricultural University is also called Monster University. Our school conducts the most in-depth research on monsters among all the universities in Dragon City and has the closest relationship with monsters.
“‘However, our mission is only to study them.
“‘Please, please, please don’t study to the point that you turn into a monster in human skin!’”
After confirming the other party’s ident.i.ty, more mysteries surfaced in Meng Chao’s heart.
If the person in charge of this underground laboratory was truly Dr. Monster, the fact that he could create a shocking genetic potion like G.o.d Transformation 9.0 would not be surprising.
The problem was that Fei Qingyun should have died two years ago.
Who was it that managed to deceive the world and remove him from the Supernatural Tower’s decree?
On top of that, he was bold enough to keep him in his pocket and continue his insane research in this secret laboratory.
