Apocalypse Gachapon - Chapter 964: Taking a gamble
“Liu Zhennghong, Professor Liu, Sister Liu…” Professor He lay weakly on the experiment table. He was naked, and the places where the Death King Tree pierced were brushed with medicine. The wounds there were healing.
Liu Zhenghong, her two assistants, and the Death King Tree, who was much smaller now, stood aside and stared at the wounds.
“Very good. Healing ability is A+. Record the blood pressure as well as heart rate.”
She ignored Professor He and continued to give instructions. She took out silver tools from her case.
Ye Zhongming specially made this.
“Save me, save me, and I will tell you a secret.” Professor He felt fear from the bottom of his soul.
He was a gene expert and knew that many things in this world were more terrifying than death.
Seeing Liu Zhenghong, he knew that Ye Zhongming and her had planned it long in advance. They had even thought about what to do to him.
Although Liu Zhenghong didn’t have the bad reputation she did in his last life, she still created gene warriors. Professor He thought about how he would end up as her test product and felt numb.
When he used other living beings as guinea pigs, he heard them scream and cry. The soul-ripping pain, the despair on their faces, and the desire to die. Professor He had lost all his principles and the bottom line now that the tables were turned.
If Liu Zhenghong could let him go, he would do anything.
“Secret?” Liu Zhenghong smiled coldly, but her hands didn’t stop, “Are there any secrets in this world? A treasure?”
“No, no, God Hall’s research results. The results of our chief!”
Liu Zhenghong smiled and showed no interest that Professor He had hoped for.
“Do you know I see God Hall’s nature on your body?” Liu Zhenghong said. She injected a bottle of red liquid into him, “What, what is that?” He screamed as it was injected into his left kidney.
“Your research is just matching together organs. You don’t study how to remove the rejection. You don’t study how to make the genes match. You don’t study how to create life. You are just spending time studying how to match higher-level lifeforms.”
Liu Zhenghong stared at the numbers on the machine. Based on their changes, she injected unknown things into his organs. One of them was a worm-shaped lifeform. She used her mocking tone and spoke to Professor He, who was starting to lose consciousness.
“You aren’t a research lab; you are a store. The only difference from selling milk powder and snacks is that you sell mutated lifeforms.”
Liu Zhenghong pulled up his eyelids to see the changes. She then said, “Do you know that I have been wondering if the wheel will reject the lifeforms that you create?”
Professor He couldn’t retort. He felt really bad and couldn’t resist at all.
“Oh, you mentioned your chief’s secret. Isn’t it just experiments on humans? I know, you don’t have to tell me about it.”
The moment she said that, one of the markers on the machine changed before calming back down.
“Thank you for giving us such a good test subject. Don’t worry, Professor, you won’t die. You will exist in another form. Maybe in the near future, you will represent Cloud Peak’s highest technological level.”
“Of course, you won’t be able to see it.”
Before losing consciousness, this was the last thing he heard.
……………………………………………………
After dealing with Professor He, Cloud Peak’s labs had no more dangers. King Kun Ling was free and was sent back to the Secret Realm. Ye Zhongming remained in the Secret Realm and brought Xia Bai, Park Xiuying, and the three-nosed elephant. Sheng Yuan, Kun Ling and Hong Xiang were all here.
“Zhongming, why did you call us here?”
The few of them were outside the mountain where the Imperial City was in. Hong Xiang saw that Ye Zhongming was very solemn. He didn’t look at him like a young kid anymore and treated him as an equal, even someone superior.
At least, Hong Xiang knew that if the two of them fought, he would die.
Ye Zhongming didn’t reply. He took out something. This was the third thing he was going to do.
“One Step Board!”
Xia Bai recognized it. She was shocked. Anxiousness flashed on her face.
She didn’t want Ye Zhongming to spin the purple equipment they got from the Sharp Peak Mountain auction.
This board went against what Ye Zhongming knew. Although he didn’t use it, he often took it out to study.
As Ye Zhongming’s closest person and bodyguard, she knew that Ye Zhongming was helpless against the board.
Ye Zhongming had the Super Elimination Technique. Glory Smith, elite job, Ghost Metal, Earth Elf, etc., were all trump cards. But without the elimination technique, Ye Zhongming would find things tough.
This skill was his golden finger.
However, such an ability was not effective against the One Step Board.
Ye Zhongming could eliminate five options on a level nine wheel before spinning. However, facing this board with only eight options, his technique was restricted.
He could only eliminate two of them.
This wheel had half reward and half punishment. Removing two meant that there were two punishments left.
What were the four punishments? A level eight beast, a curse that absorbed mental energy, a punishment of two extreme environments, and also… All reward explosion!
Removing two meant that you had a one-third chance of getting a punishment. No one could ensure they were lucky enough not to get the punishment.
However, with the level nine expert on his back, he could run if he failed, but he would lose the secret realm. He couldn’t accept that. So, he decided to take a risk and spin the wheel.
He wanted to take a gamble.
