Chapter 169 The appearance of Ability Userwas premeditated.
Dr. Li's voice trembled, but he tried to remain calm, knowing this was his only chance.
" Zhang Dafu, let me go, I'll take you to get the food. I can help you find it, I can…"
Zhang Dafu's eyes widened as he interruptedDr. Li: "Are you kidding me? Li Xiangyang, that place is completely flooded. Who are you going to send down to get it? Are you fucking playing a joke on me?"
Dr. Li took a deep breath; he knew he had to convince Zhang Dafu.
He thought quickly and then said, "I have a way, I really have a way. There are two diving suits on the rooftop. You can let me go after you get the food. And I can tell you that only I know where the food is. The key is hidden in the crack next to the storeroom door, and only I can find it."
Zhang Dafu remained silent for a while, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.
Finally, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll trust you this once. But if you dare to lie to me, I'll make you wish you were dead."
Dr. Li was overjoyed; he knew he was safe for the time being.
They got the diving suits, and he led Zhang Dafuto the animal storage room, where, sure enough, it was filled with vacuum-packed food.
Strangely, all the animals were gone. If the flood had drowned them, at least some corpses would have been left behind. But strangely, the place was empty, with only cold cells and equipment.
But Zhang Dafu had no time to think about that;his eyes gleamed with greed as he looked at the food.
However, just as Zhang Dafu lowered his guard and began collecting the food, Dr. Li seized the opportunity to break free of his restraints. He knew he had to escape this hell as soon as possible.
Taking advantage of Zhang Dafu's inattention, he locked him in the warehouse, and then swam with all his might towards the outside.
Behind him, Zhang Dafu's roars faded into the distance, but Dr. Li knew he had to keep swimming until he reached safety.
He climbed to the roof of a building and lay there panting heavily.
"Then why did you go back later?" He Liangasked, puzzled. He had escaped with such difficulty, but they still managed to rescue him at The Nineteenth Institute.
"I... I'm not reconciled. All the research I've done over the years is there. I secretly slipped back after it was frozen."
Yu Miaomiao wanted to laugh when he heard this. Putting aside the fact that it would be futile for him to go back, how could he possibly survive the extreme cold with his bare hands?
"How is that possible? How could you possibly survive the freezing cold?" Clearly, the others didn't believe it either, and Lu An was even playing with an ice pillar in his palm.
"Get to the point."
Seeing the menacing expressions on the faces of the group, with an aura like dark clouds looming over the city, Li Xiangyang didn't dare to utter another word.
"When I was running away, I accidentally injected myself with a gene sample from the Mutated Beast, and then I couldn't feel any temperature."
It seems reasonable that someone who can't feel temperature can survive in extreme cold or heat.
But this ability seems to be exactly the same as that of these Ability Users, who all awakened suddenly. Only Li Xiangyang is certain that he did so because of the injection of a Mutated Beast gene sample.
If what he said is true, then were these Ability Users also injected with some kind of drug?
Yu Miaomiao's mind went blank for a moment, her memories of her past life and everything that happened after her rebirth flashed through her mind, and she suddenly felt a sense of unreality.
It seems there's a hook behind all of this, connecting each and every event, waiting for her to slowly uncover it.
" The emergence of Ability User was clearly premeditated!"
