39. He really did accidentally pull the thing out of the closet.
Wang Sui initially showed no reaction, as if he had lost all awareness of his surroundings. But when Ruan Mingchu pulled out the stopper, Wang Sui suddenly turned his head, staring intently at the medicine, his eyes emitting a faint red glow.
It's like a hungry dog seeing a bone.
Ruan Mingchu smiled at his analogy, poured the medicine on the ground, and pushed it toward Wang Sui.
He wasn't worried that Wang Sui would break the thing; he could just pick it up with a syringe, draw it up from the ground, and still inject it into Wang Sui.
To Ruan Mingchu's surprise, Wang Sui actually picked up the bottle and poured the medicine into his mouth.
Just as Ruan Mingchu was pondering whether gastric juice would render the DT drug ineffective, Wang Sui, or rather, experimental subject 1008, had already undergone tremendous changes.
Giving him the blue potion before only turned him from a dry zombie into a zombie, but now the DT potion is making him closer to a normal person.
Ruan Mingchu couldn't help but wonder what ingredient in the DT drug had caused this change.
"Watch out!" Mu Yu and Gong Zhushen warned Ruan Mingchu one after the other. Wang Sui's fingers suddenly transformed into sharp cones, which he used to launch a sneak attack on Ruan Mingchu's face.
Ruan Mingchu was clearly still lost in thought, while Wang Sui's lips were already poised to curl into a smile.
The next second, Wang Sui's hand was stepped on the ground, making a strange sound as it was crushed.
“Oh dear,” Ruan Mingchu said with a smile, “you can’t just kick someone after they’ve served their purpose.”
Wang Sui let out an angry growl, but did not launch another attack on Ruan Mingchu.
Ruan Mingchu glanced at his task list. Fortunately, the system approved Wang Sui's behavior of pouring the contents directly into his mouth, so Ruan Mingchu's task was considered complete.
The new task is as follows
3. Draw 100 ml of blood from the experimental subject.
Task Reward: 1008 Body Analysis Reports.
The reward for injecting 1008 with the DT potion is 1008's data, which is also shared with everyone in the team.
Subject 1008's original name was Wang Sui. He was one of the city's founders, the initiator, founder, and main leader of the research institute, as well as a senior researcher. He was the one who initially hid the Demon Heart, and he recruited the initial research team.
He disagreed with the researchers who later advocated for human-animal experiments, and refused to use humans for experiments. As a result, he was assassinated by those people and even became the institute's first human experimental subject.
However, Wang Sui was old and of poor quality. In some experiments, he suffered severe rejection reactions, and when he was still usable, his number was assigned to 1008.
However, Wang Sui was still a senior researcher, and his mind was not completely destroyed. He even managed to escape during an experimental accident at the research institute and fled to Archives Room A in the government building.
However, due to the lack of suitable conditions after his escape, his health deteriorated, and he became a monster that was neither human nor ghost.
These materials indicate that Wang Sui is a very important figure, but it is still uncertain what role he will play.
Ruan Mingchu picked up the empty medicine bottle that Wang Sui had thrown on the ground, intending to take half a bottle of Wang Sui's blood, which would definitely be about ten milliliters.
However, while it was easy to cut Wang Sui's skin, the problem was that Wang Sui had no blood in his body.
"No blood? He's not alive!" Miyazaki Shin's mouth dropped open. "Is this some kind of zombie apocalypse?"
Ruan Mingchu's answer was ambiguous: "Maybe."
"There are definitely certain conditions that need to be met before Wang Sui can have blood."
What are the conditions?
After drinking the DT potion, Wang Sui's physical characteristics became more human-like, which reasonably suggests that other potions could have a similar effect.
Remembering the large pile of medicines he had hidden near the research institute, Ruan Mingchu smiled and thanked the unknown young man.
(Huo Tong: My name is Huo Tong!)
Mu Yu and Gong Zhushen were instructed to watch over Wang Sui, while Ruan Mingchu went to fetch the medicine.
Wang Sui suddenly rose up after Ruan Mingchu left, but was ruthlessly suppressed by Mu Yu.
Looking at Wang Sui's unfortunate state, Mu Yu had a guess in his mind.
He pretended to leave, and sure enough, Wang Sui suddenly attacked Gong Zhushen after he left.
Gong Zhushen... Little Gong barely defeated Wang Sui.
Mu Yu looked Gong Zhushen up and down, his expression full of disdain.
Gong Zhushen hugged his frail self, trembling: "Brother, I'll definitely practice more when I get back!"
Mu Yu reluctantly let him go.
If the gap between the two only widens instead of narrowing, it will be difficult to make a future prediction.
Wang Sui, cursing and swearing, was practically spitting fire in his eyes. "You motherfucker, are you using him as a training dummy?!"
That's utterly inhumane!
Clearly, after drinking the potion whose effects were unknown, Wang Sui became more human-like, but in reality, he lost his human soul, his memories and self-cultivation, and turned into a humanoid monster with high intelligence but serious aggressive tendencies.
After Ruan Mingchu returned with the medicine, Mu Yu told him about her discovery.
Ruan Mingchu first habitually praised Mu Yu before considering the meaning behind this behavior.
The changes in his appearance and personality after drinking the DT potion were not the only impact; most importantly, his strength increased several times over.
If the effects of the potion are cumulative, it's hard to imagine how much power Wang Sui would ultimately possess.
No matter how strong they are, he's not afraid. Ruan Mingchu pulled out the stoppers from several medicine bottles. When it comes to one-on-one combat in the interstellar world, he's never been afraid of anyone.
Wang Sui's reaction was even more intense than when Ruan Mingchu pulled out the stopper of the DT medicine bottle. Almost at the same time, Wang Sui ran over, snatched the bottle, and poured the medicine into his mouth.
He didn't react even when the medicine bottle was dangling in front of him, as long as the stopper wasn't pulled out.
Ruan Mingchu smashed a bottle of medicine on the ground, the glass bottle shattered, and the medicine inside spilled onto the ground instantly.
Wang Suizhen stuck out her tongue to lick the medicine on the ground, completely ignoring the fact that it was on the ground and the broken glass inside.
He has completely lost his human dignity.
Even shards of glass couldn't hurt his tongue, as if his tongue were harder than shards of glass.
Ruan Mingchu stopped giving Wang Sui the medicine.
Wang Sui, having drunk six bottles of the potion, became arrogant and challenged Ruan Mingchu again, only to be soundly beaten once more.
Wang Sui: Damn it, are you even human?
Ruan Mingchu: Smiling :)
This time, when they tried to cut Wang Sui's arm again, it took some effort to make the cut, but still no blood came out.
"Could it be that he has rare blood type?" Gong Zhushen recalled a blood type he had read about in a history book. "It is said that this type of blood is very rare in the human body."
"Don't just take out anything new and use it indiscriminately," Mu Yu took the opportunity to flick Gong Zhushen on the head again, "It's not that there's no content even if it's low, go take a look and see if you can find a capillary."
Miyazaki Shin: Fingers...
Looking at Wang Sui, who looked almost exactly like a normal human, Ruan Mingchu suddenly regretted not dissecting him before feeding him the medicine. Now, it would be difficult for him to do so in front of the entire nation.
The situation seemed to have reached a stalemate; Ruan Mingchu neither wanted to continue feeding Wang Sui the medicine nor had any new solutions.
Just as Ruan Mingchu was deep in thought, Shen Huanli's voice came through the communication channel: "Captain Ruan, we've caught a junior researcher who claims to have taken care of 1008 before."
Ruan Mingchu: "Where are you?"
After a long while, Shen Huanli said, "A magnificent foot massage parlor."
Shen Huanli was embarrassed to even say the name aloud; it was so vulgar, corny, and even a little risqué. Like the TM Golden Splendor Club, it must have been named by the same person.
Ruan Mingchu took out the map that Mu Yu had found again and found the location of the magnificent foot massage parlor, which was quite far from the government building.
"Then there's no need to meet," Ruan Mingchu said. "Can he tell me everything he knows and give me a summary?"
Shen Huanli could only answer yes, as it would be too embarrassing to say no; he, Shen, had a lot to lose face.
Mu Yu also sidled up to look at the map next to Ruan Mingchu, though his main purpose wasn't the map, but Ruan Mingchu.
But he also glanced at the map a few times, and it was in those few glances that Mu Yu discovered the key point.
"There doesn't seem to be a school or a hospital here."
Ruan Mingchu didn't realize this; a lifetime is too long, and his memories of the hospital and school are faint.
Gong Zhushen, hearing what Mu Yu said, also came over, and the three of them carefully examined the map and found that there really were no schools or hospitals.
"Brother Mu, is this map a special edition?" Gong Zhushen thought it was very likely. These days, everyone likes to have a special edition of everything, and maps are also trying to keep up with the trend.
Of course, as soon as she said this, Komiya covered her head with both hands, clearly anticipating that she would be beaten.
A city without schools means that no one needs to be educated, and a city without hospitals means that no one is injured, therefore no hospital is needed.
Nguyen Minh Thu asked on the communication channel: "Has anyone encountered any survivors who were toddlers, teenagers, or elderly people?"
"No."
"No."
...
"No."
None of the eleven people had encountered this before.
“That processing plant doesn’t produce elderly people or children!” Mu Yu’s words revealed the closest possibility to the truth.
It's terrifying to think about; the people in a city are all monsters produced in a factory.
The team's "save the city" mission instantly progressed by 10%. Currently, the mission has progressed a total of 13%.
This confirms Mu Yu's guess that, apart from a small minority, the entire city is made up of products from processing plants.
About ten minutes later, Shen Huanli came to report on the results.
"Besides what we already knew, he also talked a lot about the situation when Wang Sui was still the director, in various ways..."
Ruan Mingchu interrupted, "Skip that, focus on the key points."
Taking advantage of the fact that Ruan Mingchu couldn't see, Shen Huanli rolled her eyes and took a minute to compose herself before continuing, "The experiments on Wang Sui were never successful, and rejection was frequent. In addition, the institute had just bought a lot of new test subjects, so the institute decided to abandon Wang Sui. After removing Wang Sui's heart, since there were no spare incinerators, Wang Sui was put back into the medicine pot. Later, a cleaner at the institute tried to steal something but accidentally caused an explosion and fire, and Wang Sui took the opportunity to escape."
It has to be said that Wang Sui was quite lucky.
(Wang Sui: Do you want this luck?)
After listening to Shen Huanli's report, Ruan Mingchu looked at Wang Sui again and even reached out to pull off Wang Sui's shirt.
Of course, he didn't manage to strip him; Mu Yu grabbed his wrist.
