Chapter 1051: Sacrifice a Small Part

Chapter 1051: Chapter 1051: Sacrifice a Small Part

Time was of the essence, Xu Huo did not read through the records in order, instead he randomly picked two segments to review. Aside from the first subject, the subsequent two he read about already exhibited varying degrees of mental issues. They were no longer like R17, able to control their violent behaviors at will; it was completely uncontrollable.

According to the psychotherapist, it initially started with them going berserk only upon hearing the keyword "Potion", but as time passed, like most experiment cases, they began to show hostility towards everything related to "Doctor Zhang"—whether it was his photo, the recorded training methods from surveillance, or simply his voice, these children had fierce reactions, even reaching uncontrollable levels—to the point that not only could they not extract the method of training high-IQ children from Doctor Zhang, but even their existence posed a major problem.

Xu Huo came with a mental preparation, but it was only now that Chi Minghong learned that in District 002, they experimented on little children, seeing the two children in the segments being provoked repeatedly just to test their "limits", she turned around and slapped Lu Huizhi in the face, "You damn bastards, you call yourselves humans!"

She slapped him with great force, causing Lu Huizhi to roll on the ground with blood flowing from his nose and mouth, looking dizzy as if he couldn’t recover, Chi Minghong then forced a bottle of Self-Healing Potion into his mouth, "You think you can faint that easily? Stand up!"

Lu Huizhi still had his senses, "Your beating me won’t help. These children have interacted with psychologists, and they will never be able to return to a normal life again because we don’t know when they might turn into a bomb. Maybe they could live normally for ten or twenty years, but once they explode, who knows how many people will die!"

"This isn’t a reason to experiment on them." Xu Huo quickly replicated the materials and data, turning around to say, "Knowing they can’t return to a normal life, why drive them insane?"

"You should know, even adults might not withstand long-term experimentation, let alone children. Moreover, children in District 002 might naturally have psychological issues."

"If you don’t want them to become time bombs, you could simply kill them and avoid future troubles."

"Not killing them, but locking them up in the lab for testing, you don’t think that’s better than killing them, do you?"

"Or is it that you’re just using the so-called ’time bomb’ as an excuse, because one psychologically troubled child was successfully transformed to normal, and even became more rational than an ordinary trained adult, with improved intelligence. You just want to see how to cultivate such children."

Xu Huo walked up to Lu Huizhi and looked down at him, "Have you ever considered another problem?"

"Do you think Doctor Zhang only experimented with children from District 002? I don’t think so."

"If his method could successfully change every child, then high-IQ, high-combat-capability players should be mass-produced by now. The reason it hasn’t happened is only due to low success rates. Why are the success rates low? Ultimately, it’s because every child is different."

"Only the smart, suitable children are the base. No amount of training would help the mediocre."

He leaned forward, his voice quieter, "You know that don’t you."

Lu Huizhi, being able to stay in this laboratory and even reaching the leadership, of course, wouldn’t be swayed by a few words from Xu Huo. He was firm in his belief that what he was doing was right, "Perhaps sacrificing a small portion is necessary, but this proves that the children of District 002 can be saved. If we can really develop a Potion or design a suitable educational model for the masses, what’s wrong with that? More people could be rescued because of them, instead of being locked away in a dark room till death, it’s better to have their names engraved on a monument!"

Chi Minghong listened with a grim face, but Xu Huo seemed calm. He asked, "Do you even know their names?"

Lu Huizhi was stumped; the children were assigned only numbers when they were brought into the lab.

"I’m going to let them out!" Chi Minghong angrily searched the lab control panel, "So what if they’re bombs, to blow up this bunch of bastards!"

Seeing she was close to finding it, Lu Huizhi had no choice but to say to Xu Huo: "Most children are not lucid, letting them out will only kill other people, and they will also be killed as mentally unstable individuals, doing this harms them as well as others!"

Chi Minghong paused upon hearing this, then looked towards Xu Huo, seeking his opinion with her eyes.

Coming here, Xu Huo had confirmed that at least ten solitary rooms were holding children, along with some adults also confined, likely also subjects of experimentation, releasing so many people was unmanageable.

Xu Huo raised his hand, signaling her to calm down, then said, "Players have already started to notice this place."

The laboratory already had quite a number of players, and if not for the Holy Sword Society and the pervasive poisonous gas outside, it would have been difficult to come in; trapping Lu Huizhi till now had already exceeded his expectations.

It was impossible to take so many people at once; Xu Huo pulled out a bomb from the invisible bag behind him, "Let’s test the power."

It was carried by a Rank-B player sent from the Snow White Villa by Dong Qifeng, intercepted by Xu Huo’s childhood personality, and then conveniently left near the villa; such heat weapons cannot be stored in the prop section or the luggage compartment and had to be carried on the body.

The laboratory’s walls and floors were made of special metal. A small amount of explosive would not necessarily bring down the building’s floor, but it would be enough to attract attention.

Lu Huizhi’s face changed when he saw the object in Xu Huo’s hands. Just as he was about to interject, he saw Xu Huo casually toss it, rolling the bomb to the end of the hallway!

With a booming explosion, about a third of the hallway bulged and deformed, along with the ceiling softening and warping—indicating the lab’s robustness; a bomb that could flatten half of the Snow White Villa didn’t cause the walls on either side of the blast center to completely collapse.

Xu Huo then took out two more, throwing them towards where players were rushing in under Lu Huizhi’s horrified gaze.

Then came the third and fourth.

The continuous explosions were enough to draw attention from outside, especially the Holy Sword Society. After the explosions, like the players already in the lab, they hurriedly made their way underground until the building on the surface tilted to one side...

Indeed, the remaining half of the energy plant building was moved directly to the side, even the floor was lifted without a trace, taking along with it the underground laboratory’s ceiling.

The sprawling underground research base was suddenly uncovered; all sealed test chambers, subject placement rooms, data instrumentation storage rooms, including the staff’s residences and toilets, were all exposed in the city lights!
