Chapter 798 - Important Research

Li Yuanshan and Guan Shan led the ability users and civilians to slowly move toward the center of the city while Qin Feng darted toward the west side of the city.

At a secret spot of a backstreet, Qin Feng spotted a metal door in the middle of the road. The door was round in shape, like the iron cover for the sewers. There was some mud on top of it too when Qin Feng found them. These were usually disguised as the road around it used the earth abilities of an A-tier. Now that the dimension around was overlapped, the mud had lost its ability to camouflage the door.

Qin Feng opened the door and jumped into it. It was a long fall, about 30 meters downward before he landed. After walking a few steps, he reached another door.

There seemed to be multiple mechanical locks installed on the door; yet, when Qin Feng pushed it lightly, the door opened up!

Under the influence of the spatial overlap, all these high-tech locks had all lost their uses! Even the traps behind the doors were totally unresponsive!

Qin Feng faced no obstacles when he stepped into a lab.

“Wha… What?! Who are you? How did you get in?!”

A man in a lab coat screamed as he pointed his weapon at Qin Feng—it was a gun that even a G-tier could use. And more importantly, this gun could function without the use of runes.

“I was sent by Doctor Z.”

This was the name Z told Qin Feng when anyone inside his own facilities asked. It was quite difficult for Qin Feng to call this human-monster a “doctor” though.

“Ah, I see! You’re sent by Doctor Z!”

These “researchers” seemed to have let down their guards.

“Yes, Doctor Z asked me to bring the Devourer with me. You should come with me too!” Qin Feng answered.

However, the researchers’ responses were totally out of Qin Feng’s expectation.

“No, I’ll stay!” An old researcher replied as he walked away.

“Yeah, I’m staying too! I need to resume my research on what I discovered this morning!”

“Yes! This project is going to rock the whole world! We’ll be remembered forever in human history as great men!”

Unlike the civilians out there, these people seemed to be excited and ecstatic in staying behind. Not only that, Qin Feng could see that all of them were ability users. Even that old researcher who walked away earlier was a B-tier ancient warrior.

It was quite unsettling to stay in this Fettering Land. And yet, they were eager to stay behind?

Qin Feng said, “You can still resume your research when you escape. The most important thing is that you stay alive! Don’t you get it? This whole place has succumbed to spatial overlap!”

Before Qin Feng was able to finish his words, one of the researchers shook his head impatiently. “Of course we know what’s going on. And this is why we stayed! There are so many fascinating things to study in this dimension! You have no idea how important our research is to the Human Alliance!”

Qin Feng answered coldly, “If you don’t escape now, your research would probably stay here forever though. You should know that it’s not easy to open an exit back to our world under this spatial overlapped circumstance!”

Some researchers looked at one another, thinking that there was some truth in Qin Feng’s words.

Still, these were rather peculiar people. Indeed, they all had obscenely high IQ; but their EQ was quite low. As such, it was quite unrealistic to expect them to respond like ordinary people.

A young researcher opened his mouth, “If you can break through the spatial barrier and come here, you can definitely do the same to go out. Our research is very valuable! I’m sure Doctor Z will support our decision when he knows about it!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng too could not help but to be curious about what they were studying on.

Thus, Qin Feng mocked up a cold expression and said, “It’ll take a great deal to break through the spatial barrier. As such, I’ll need to bring all of you out tomorrow. If you insist on staying behind, then the research better be something really good! You can’t possibly expect me to return to Doctor Z empty-handed, right?”

Qin Feng had a few more lines prepared in his head to continue on convincing these quirky people. Yet, before he could continue, they all nodded their heads.

“Come with me!”

The old researcher took Qin Feng’s hand and led him into one of the rooms where they were running experiments.

What Qin Feng did not know was that these researchers had been dying to share their research findings. However, they had all been trapped here the whole day, not able to tell anyone.

Now that there was an outsider coming, they wanted to show their findings to him—almost like showing off their new toys. They yearned for people to appreciate and praise them!

Inside the experiment room, Qin Feng saw countless broken glass on the floor spread out around some ultra beasts corpses. It was clear that these ultra beasts were locked inside some kind of containment devices; and when spatial overlap happened, they broke out. Of course, the researchers were able to deal with it rather quickly.

The researchers were surrounding and observing dozens of boxes very keenly. Qin Feng took a glance and saw that there were cockroaches in there—the cockroaches that were the size of a washing basin!

Qin Feng said coldly, “Did you make these?”

He recognized these creatures. These were the same kind of beasts he encountered when he was rescuing Guan Shan.

If these things came out of this lab, Qin Feng felt like slaughtering everyone in the lab! If Z asked, he could just say that the ultra beasts had killed them.

Seeing that Qin Feng was interested, a researcher answered excitedly, “Of course not! These creatures are so interesting! We wouldn’t be able to see these things if we did not come to this dimension!”

“This cockroach was just an ordinary cockroach. But we were feeding it a monkey that we killed from the forest a few days ago. Of course, it’s not just this cockroach. We also tried it on these ones too. After feeding on its blood, these little ones had morphed!”

He pointed at other boxes as he explained to Qin Feng—these boxes contained other insects like ladybugs, mosquitos etc.

These beasts had mostly evolved into Insectoids in the post-apocalyptic world. Nonetheless, they were still small and large in numbers.

However, right now, they had all changed. The mosquito was about fifty-centimeter in length! If this thing were to suck a human’s blood, he would be dead within a minute!

“The cockroach has grown in size! Its strength was enhanced to a new height. It has developed a layer of sturdy shell! If my deduction is correct, this cockroach has evolved into a being as powerful as a razor-fanged infant!”

“And this mosquito… it has grown to this size in just a day… we tested it on…”

“This venomous beetle was about this size yesterday…”
