Chapter 409: Chapter 409: Survival Time of 370 Days!

"Look! It’s open!"

Yilijite’s eyes lit up with excitement the moment he saw her successfully unlock the glass device.

Both Meng Lai and Danrus quickly gathered around.

Rexiva enlarged the screen and stepped back slightly, watching as Lu Xining entered the first password and, without pausing for long, immediately proceeded to input the second one.

She showed no hesitation, her gaze resolute yet icy.

The eight-digit password carried a haunting pain for her as someone from the Chu Family, and equally for Rexiva and the others.

But their pain stemmed from entirely different causes—the devastating consequences of Chu Zhan’s retaliation. The entire family outwardly shielded them while secretly stripping them of any inheritance rights. And these aimless drifting years at sea were nothing short of an exile.

"What is she doing!" Meng Lai frowned deeply, baffled by Lu Xining’s actions.

Simultaneously, Rexiva amplified the monitoring device near the "Deep Sea Heart" apparatus, allowing the conversation between Lu Xining and Shang Lvxing to be heard crystal-clear.

In the video, after unlocking the password lock, Lu Xining directly removed the transparent device that had risen from inside, taking the "Deep Sea Heart" bare-handed and handing it over to Shang Lvxing. Her movements were swift and seamless, with no hesitation.

Shang Lvxing, on the other hand, froze for a moment, his eyes burning as he stared at Lu Xining on the opposite end, hesitatingly asking, "You’re just handing it over to me like this?"

"What else?"

Lu Xining’s gaze was clear, reminiscent of how Lu Nuonuo looked at people—clean and pure, but with an indescribable undertone.

Shang Lvxing: "... What if I can’t decode what’s inside?"

She replied indifferently, "Isn’t it quite simple?"

Shang Lvxing: "Do explain."

Their entire exchange was overheard by Meng Lai and the other three, though parts of the conversation left them baffled.

Seeing Shang Lvxing taking the "Deep Sea Heart," Meng Lai and the others grew anxious.

Rexiva spoke gravely, taking charge, "Meng Lai, go stop them. We cannot let them leave the Royal Cruise under any circumstances!"

"Once we reach the Public Sea, we can reveal ourselves."

Compared to Meng Lai, the other three were mostly sensitive personnel from the eastern nation. If they wanted to enter its borders, it would require layers of reporting and approvals, with a high likelihood of rejection. This was one of the main reasons why they had been hiding in the Royal Cruise’s lower-deck secret chamber.

This time, it was only due to Lott’s identity as a researcher that the Royal Cruise was allowed entry to the Beicheng Port.

But even then, it was permitted to dock for only one or two hours.

Another strict condition was that, aside from inspected and boarded personnel, no one aboard the Royal Cruise was allowed to disembark, nor could any containers or items be taken off the ship.

Meng Lai nodded, "Leave it to me."

Just as he stood up to look for Lu Xining and Shang Lvxing, a knock came at the door, followed by the urgent voice of a guard.

"Mr. Meng Lai, bad news!"

"The door to the biological laboratory has been unlocked, and the experimental subjects have all escaped!"

Danrus was the first to rise from the sofa, striding towards the door with heavy steps, cursing under his breath, "Those beasts!"

"Danrus, calm down. Let’s first discuss how to address the situation."

"The Royal Cruise hasn’t yet left their ’Blue Organization’ jurisdiction. If you act rashly now and news gets reported by a spy aboard the ship, you’ll end up being deported and imprisoned. Let’s figure this out. For now, let the guards head over and assess the situation."

But no matter how much Yilijite and Rexiva tried persuading him, Danrus was determined to deal with the escaped subjects personally.

"Do you think those things, if discovered by the guests, won’t be reported?"

Meng Lai scoffed at them, "Yilijite, Rexiva, don’t be naive. I agree with Danrus. Since Chu Zhan’s granddaughter is currently aboard the ship, we might as well capture her for interrogation. Once we crack the secrets of the ’Deep Sea Heart,’ we can turn the tables. I’ve had enough of this miserable life drifting at sea!"

The two pondered for a long while before nodding solemnly.

Yet when all four of them arrived at Lu Xining’s cabin and knocked, there was no response from inside. They exchanged looks before Danrus swiped the cabin lock with a universal card.

The room was empty.

"Fu*k!" Danrus kicked over the trash bin in frustration.

Meng Lai’s face was stern and shadowed. "Search!"

[Dear Guests, due to an incident caused by Royal Cruise personnel’s negligence, we kindly ask that you remain in your rooms tonight. If you hear any unusual noises, do not open your door as taking the risk will be solely your responsibility!]

[Repeating... Dear Guests...]

At this moment, Lu Xining had already reached the biological laboratory located on the Royal Cruise’s lower deck, hearing the repeating announcements from the broadcast. She exchanged glances with Shang Lvxing and Cheng Cang before continuing with her assigned tasks.

Lu Xining was focused on locating relevant experimental data within the biological laboratory, Shang Lvxing was busy filming the facility for evidence, which would later be used to prosecute Meng Lai and the others.

Agile and alert, Cheng Cang took on the responsibility of monitoring the surroundings for any approaching threats. Their coordination was seamless.

Lu Xining discovered the central computer room of the biological laboratory, its entire wall adorned with data monitors along with analyses and statistics of various failed experiments. Seeing the densely packed information made her scalp tingle.

She also uncovered Lott’s true identity—it turned out he was one of the masterminds behind the lab and also an esteemed professor.

In a corner bookshelf, she retrieved Lott’s notebook. From his written record before his death, Lu Xining learned that over the past decade, they had conducted more than ten thousand experimental studies involving human-animal genetic fusion, resulting in over ten thousand deaths.

[March 12, XXXX: The most promising experimental subject, No. 10763, officially declared a failure.]

[November 25, XXXX: Subject No. 13999 shows initial fusion with fish genes. No rejection reaction observed—a positive sign. Follow-up attempts with embryonic material suggested.]

[November 30, XXXX: Good news! Research on Subject No. 13999 succeeded, survival duration: 370 days!]

The experiments involved individuals from various age groups, with the majority being women and children. Lott’s notebook meticulously documented the fusion times between experimental subjects and other genetic sequences as well as their failure durations.

The thick notebook’s pages were worn and slightly torn, some corners curling with age. Lu Xining flipped through it, stopping at the final entry, uncovering Lott’s reason for death.

Her pupils contracted sharply—it turned out he had died because...
