89. Products of gene editing

Liu Bu and Luo Xinyu looked over there in surprise. When they were brought back, the Qing Consortium's combat troops seemed to be still dealing with the "experimental subject". So the current movement is that the combat troops brought the experimental subject back?

To be honest, they were also curious about what the experimental subject was.

But the next moment they were all stunned, and saw a multi-layer reinforced steel cage being carried over, and a gray...man was lying inside!

The gray color is not the original skin color of the person, but the color that appears to be mixed with dust and soil on the skin.

Liu Bujing looked at the man in the cage in doubt. The other party was shot several times, but no large amount of blood was flowing out of the muzzle. It seemed that the moment the bullet burst into their bodies, they controlled their skin and muscles and closed their wounds.

This is unimaginable to ordinary people because no one can fully grasp their own bodies.

And the gray figure had chains on his arms and legs!

The iron chain was originally used to imprison the man somewhere, but he broke it free. So did the iron chain sound Liu Bu and the others heard that night come from this man?

At this moment, Liu Bu remembered Xu Xia's broken corpse, the human teeth marks on the corpse, and he immediately vomited out. Before, when Xu Xianchu and the others said that it was humans who bit Xu Xia's corpse, he didn't believe it, but now he couldn't help but believe it.

The huge fear and disgust seemed to have been holding Liu Bu's stomach with his big hands and pinched everything in his stomach.

He had no food in his stomach, so he vomited only a light green mixture of gastric juice and bile.

Qingzhen looked at Liu Bu with interest: "It seems that you have some understanding of it. Have you ever seen the corpse that it bites?"

Luo Xinyu's reaction at this time was stronger than Liu Bu. She asked as if she was trying to calm down: "What is this..."

"Since it is called an experimental subject, it is of course something used for experiments," said Qingzhen: "Don't get me wrong. This thing has nothing to do with our Qing family. They are products before the catastrophe, and we have only recently learned about their existence."

"Before the disaster?" Luo Xinyu seemed a little shocked: "How long has it been since the disaster? Can they live so long? Wait, you say they're..."

At this time, Luo Xinyu suddenly realized that there might be more than one ghost!

Qingzhen carefully looked at the "person" in the cage and said, "It seems that they have broken free from the shackles of the laboratory recently. Even I am curious about how they survived until now. This is a living specimen."

Liu Bu shivered. Qing Zhen actually regarded a living person as a specimen, even if that person was no longer a human or a ghost.

Suddenly, Luo Xinyu realized why the Qing family consortium came in this mountain. They even mobilized a large number of engineering equipment, spending manpower and material resources, just to find the laboratory that once imprisoned these ghosts!

When they realized that there was more than one end of the experimental subject, they also realized why the combat troops immediately called for support when they encountered the experimental subject.

This is worrying that it has similar kinds nearby!

"How many experimental subjects did you encounter just now, and how many casualties were killed and killed when he was arrested?" Qing Zhen asked.

Someone said on the side: "I only encountered this one, and I used 5 combat teams, 3 died and 13 injured."

Qingzhen shook his head: "It is enough to catch one experimental subject. If you encounter it again, you can eliminate it directly without any life or death. Don't just increase casualties."

"I understand," replied an officer from the consortium's combat force.

The experimental subject in the cage was obviously not dead, because Luo Xinyu and the others could still see the ups and downs of his chest as he breathed.

But she was a little confused: "The disaster is hundreds of years away now, why can they still live?"

This is the most difficult thing to understand. A normal human has a lifespan of only a few decades, and a little more than a hundred years. If this experimental subject is a product of the pre-catastrophe, how could they survive until now in an underground laboratory? This is unreasonable!

Even if the lifespan can be extended, what should these experimental subjects eat in underground laboratories?

Qingzhen stood in front of the cage and smiled: "Don't I want to catch them because of this secret? For example, multicellular organisms like humans all use cell division as the basis for growth and reproduction. Logically speaking, cell division should be infinite. After all, if you can divide the first time, you can divide the second time or even more. But strangely, all human cells will end suddenly when they divide fifty times on average, and then they will die irreversibly."

This is the origin of human aging and death. After the cells divide about fifty times, the cells will stop dividing, and then the human organs will fail until they die.

Qingzhen looked at the man in the cage and continued, "I suspect that this laboratory may have mastered the method of making cells divide infinitely to improve the body's metabolic cycle and life span. But they did not expect what the cost of doing so."

Qingzhen called the creatures in this cage human and ghost, neither human nor ghost. In his opinion, these human and ghosts have completely lost their rationality as humans, and their IQ has deteriorated is not much different from wild beasts.

However, compared with IQ, the physical strength and flexibility of these humans and ghosts are far greater than that of normal humans, and even wild beasts cannot match them.

Moreover, wild beasts abide by order. As Ren Xiaosu said, species still have their order.

The experimental subjects are different, they have no order.

At this moment, the experimental subject, which had been injured by four or five gunshots, woke up again. He suddenly arched up to hit the steel cage, as if he wanted to use brute force to smash the cage!

As a result, the cage seemed to be specially made by the Qing family. No matter how he hit it, the cage was only slightly deformed but never broken by him.

The experimental subject slowly stopped trying, but stared at Qingzhen in front of him fiercely. At this time, Luo Xinyu and the others discovered that no matter how fierce the experimental subject was struggling just now, Qingzhen was as calm as a sculpture, and never took a step back due to fear.

Qingzhen pulled out a pistol and threw the bullet into the cage. As a result, the experimental subject actually bit the gun body and bit the steel gun to pieces!

Qingzhen looked at the experimental subject, and he suddenly said: "Records, teeth evolve, pupils are narrow, and habitual crawling, no longer belong to the human category, and is suspected to be a product of gene editing. This laboratory is suspected to be the secret experimental base of the Tinder Company before the catastrophe."
