Dr. Lu was stunned and looked at Li Ming in disbelief: "Oh my god, am I not dreaming?" At this point, Dr. Lu reached out and pinched himself hard. It hurt, very painful. This was not a dream, this was
it is true!
"Dr. Lu, why do you look so haggard?" Li Ming asked with concern. In front of him, Dr. Lu's hair was in a mess, his face was dirty, his eyes were bloodshot, his lips were chapped, and his clothes were in tatters.
, there is only one shoe left on his feet, and his hands are covered with mud, looking like a beggar who has fled.
"Don't mention it!" Dr. Lu smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Holy Master, since you disappeared, my life in the temple has been getting worse day by day. Later, there were rumors that you were dead. I didn't believe it. I sent someone to find you.
But I can't find it... The elders and protectors of the temple have begun to use various methods to embarrass me. Without your support, how can I be their opponent? In order to protect myself, I can only give up the power in my hands and focus on
Staying in the laboratory, I almost no longer care about the affairs of the temple... As the days go by, there is still no news from you, and I am really desperate..."
"Hmph!" Li Ming snorted coldly: "These white-eyed wolves! They all deserve to die!"
"A few days ago, a few experts suddenly broke into the temple headquarters. They were really powerful. They could kill a large number of people with just a wave of their hands... Then they broke into the laboratory and kidnapped me directly, and then they
All the instruments were moved away. I originally thought I was dead, but I didn't expect to see the Holy Lord in the end..." Dr. Lu recounted what happened.
"I sent those people." Li Ming explained: "I was negligent and forgot to tell them to be polite to you... From today on, you just follow me. As long as I am here, no one dares to hurt you.
you."
"Holy Lord, where are you...?" Dr. Lu asked doubtfully: "Since you are fine, why didn't you show up for so long?"
"Alas..." Li Ming sighed: "It's a long story..." Next, Li Ming briefly told what happened to him.
After listening to Li Ming's story, Dr. Lu's eyes widened with disbelief on his face: "This... is this a secret realm? You... you have lost your personal freedom now?"
Li Ming shook his head: "You can't say that. Except that I can't leave the secret realm, my other actions are not restricted."
"This...this is simply incredible..." Dr. Lu exclaimed.
"The reason why I brought you here is to let you help me continue genetic modification." Li Ming said: "If you want to gain a foothold in the secret realm, you must have high strength. You know my situation very well. If I want to improve
The only way to achieve strength is to take the path of genetic modification."
"Holy Lord, genetic modification is very risky." Dr. Lu looked hesitant: "Besides, your body is already very strong now. If you want to improve your strength, you must integrate the genes of more powerful animals. But this kind of powerful
It’s hard to find animal genes…”
"You don't have to worry about this problem." Li Ming waved his hand: "I have inquired about it. There are many extinct animals in the secret realm, and they are all very powerful animals. You can extract their genes at any time."
"If that's the case, then things will be easy to handle." Dr. Lu nodded: "The only thing I'm worried about is... the process of merging genes is very dangerous..."
"I told you a long time ago that as long as I can improve my strength, I am willing to take no matter how big the risk is." Li Ming said: "I would rather live thirty years with unlimited glory than live in obscurity.
Live a hundred years.”
"Okay." Dr. Lu nodded: "Since you are willing to try, then I will help you. I hope God will favor you."
"By the way, there is a problem you need to solve." Li Ming remembered something.
"What's the problem?" Dr. Lu asked doubtfully.
"There is no power supply here. It would be difficult to start up your instruments..."
"This is easy to handle. I will modify those instruments and let them charge through solar energy. Then there will be no problem."
"Well, it's good if you can find a way."
"It's very troublesome to modify the instrument. It will take me a few days..."
"It's okay, I can wait."
…
In this way, Dr. Lu stayed in the secret realm.
With Dr. Lu and those instruments, Li Ming suddenly became more confident. As long as he continues to enjoy genetic modification, his strength will continue to improve. It is estimated that it will not take long to surpass Han Mingguang. By then, he will be free.
, I no longer have to look at Han Mingguang's face, let alone bow to Han Yuanyuan.
While Dr. Lu was modifying the equipment, Li Ming was not idle. He used his connections to start collecting the genes of powerful animals. In just half a month, Li Ming found more than a dozen species of animals that had become extinct outside, and they were all some
Li Ming had people build more than a dozen iron cages for ferocious animals with extremely strong fighting abilities, and then locked up these animals and raised them carefully every day to make these animals fat and white.
One month later.
After the modification of the instrument was completed, it took another three days for solar charging. When the power was sufficient, Dr. Lu began to extract the genes of those ferocious animals. When all preparations were in place, Dr. Lu began to arrange for Li Ming to undergo genetic modification.
Han Yuanyuan was very worried after learning about this incident and rushed to the scene to watch.
"Old guy, listen to me. If Li Ming does anything bad, I won't let you go!" Han Yuanyuan threatened fiercely.
Dr. Lu lowered his head and fiddled with his instruments, pretending not to hear. He had already seen Han Yuanyuan's ferocity. For a shrew like Han Yuanyuan, Dr. Lu could only stay away from a shrew like Han Yuanyuan. If he couldn't afford to offend her, he could always hide away, right?
"Yuanyuan!" Li Ming frowned: "You have to believe Dr. Lu. He is an authority on genetic modification. With him, nothing will happen to me."
"I hope so." Han Yuanyuan said expressionlessly: "I will keep an eye on you from here. As long as something happens to you, I will kill this old man and bury him with you!"
Dr. Lu's mouth twitched fiercely... This woman is too cruel...
"Okay, please stop saying a few words. Your appearance will put a lot of pressure on Dr. Lu. Once people are under pressure, they will be careless in doing things and it is easy to make mistakes." Li Ming said.
At this time, Dr. Lu spoke: "The Holy Lord is right, don't put too much pressure on me, otherwise I may make mistakes..."
"You..." Han Yuanyuan raised his eyebrows and was about to get angry.
"Please go out for a while. I feel very uneasy when you are here." Dr. Lu issued an order to expel the guest.
Han Yuanyuan glared at Dr. Lu bitterly: "Okay, I'll go out! But I will always guard the door. If I find something wrong, I will rush in and kill you!" After saying a cruel word, Han Yuanyuan walked away angrily.
Got out.
"Lao Lu, don't be offended, she just has this temper." Li Ming said embarrassedly.
"I can see that she cares about the Holy Lord very much." Dr. Lu smiled slightly: "She cares about the Holy Lord too much, so she has such a bad attitude. I understand."
"As long as you understand." Li Ming nodded: "Let's get started."
"Okay." Dr. Lu asked Li Ming to lie on the bed, then injected the prepared genes into Li Ming's body, and then started the instrument...
"Buzz buzz..."
As soon as the instrument was started, it made a dull roar and the whole room vibrated.
Han Yuanyuan, who was guarding the door, was startled. His eyes were wide open, his ears were straight up, and he had a look of shock on his face: "What a terrifying sound... things in the outside world are indeed extraordinary..."
"Ah..." Li Ming's screams came from inside the house.
"Li Ming!" Han Yuanyuan's expression changed, and she turned around and was about to rush in.
"Don't worry, madam! This is a normal symptom. It will be very painful when genetic modification is carried out. Just grit your teeth and hold on, and you will be fine after a while." Dr. Lu's voice reached Han Yuanyuan's ears: "Please rest assured, madam.
Don't be impatient, don't come in and disturb me."
Han Yuanyuan swayed and stopped: "Old man, you'd better not lie to me! Otherwise I will make your death very ugly!" Han Yuanyuan did not go in in the end, and stayed at the door obediently, listening to what Li Ming said.
The screams made Han Yuanyuan feel heartbroken. She really liked Li Ming...it was hard for her to see Li Ming in such pain.
This torture lasted for a whole day, and at night, Li Ming's screams slowly subsided...
After waiting for a few more hours, Dr. Lu's voice came from the room: "Okay, it's over. Madam can come in."
Han Yuanyuan couldn't wait any longer. After hearing what Dr. Lu said, she immediately opened the door and barged in: "Li Ming, Li Ming, how are you? Don't scare me!" Han Yuanyuan rushed over and stretched out her arms to hug the dying man.
Li Ming.
"I...it's okay..." Li Ming said weakly.
"This genetic modification was very successful." Dr. Lu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "The Holy Master has consumed a lot of energy, so he is very weak at the moment. He can recover after just two days of good rest."
"Thank God, you finally made it through." Han Yuanyuan's eyes were a little moist: "I heard your scream just now, it really hurt me to death."
"I... I'll take a nap first... wait until I wake up... then..." Li Ming slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep soon.
Han Yuanyuan wanted to take Li Ming away, but was stopped by Dr. Lu.
"The Holy Lord is very weak at the moment and cannot move for the time being. Let him rest here." Dr. Lu said: "Madam, if you are tired, please go back and rest first. I will just watch over here."
"I'm not tired." Han Yuanyuan shook her head: "I want to guard Li Ming here."
"Okay then, you can stay here while I go to the next room to rest. If you need anything, just call me." Dr. Lu nodded slightly. Although this Han Yuanyuan was very fierce, he did have true feelings for Li Ming.
"Go." Han Yuanyuan waved her hand impatiently.
After a few brief instructions, Dr. Lu left and worked continuously for more than twenty hours. Even though Dr. Lu was in good health, he was very tired. He walked into the bedroom and fell asleep.
