Chapter 799 - Reinforcing DNAs

The researcher kept on explaining their research to Qin Feng. Meanwhile, Qin Feng’s face was getting grimmer and grimmer. All the researcher did was reminding him of all those cockroaches that he saw the other day—these beasts appeared near some monkey corpses nearby!

This meant that all those beasts that Qin Feng had killed earlier—all those mutated plants and vipers, they would then be devoured and consumed by these insects, which would then mutate them into stronger, more powerful Insectoids.

Qin Feng regretted so much in not destroying those ultra beasts’ corpses that he had left behind earlier. The more corpses he left behind, the more dangerous the Insectoids that would be born!

Nonetheless, there was not possibly anything he could do about it since he could not burn these corpses via his fire abilities.

The researchers, not knowing just how severe the situation was out there, might cause another Insectoid wave if they were not careful!

“… and naturally! We theorized that this should work on other creatures of nominal size too. So, we captured an ultra beast. To be honest, if it weren’t so weak, we could never have contained it.”

The researcher then brought Qin Feng to another place—a room that contained a metallic cage. Inside the cage was a brown ape.

“I don’t know if you have encountered this creature out there before. This creature resembles an ape and was originally about as powerful as a G1-tier. However, in just one day, it has grown to G5-tier. Not only that, it is developing to become a beast general! If we allow it to continue to grow, this ape would be totally uncontainable!”

Qin Feng’s body was shaking as anger overwhelmed him.

“What did you feed it with?”

There were bones near the ape’s feet. They were human bones!

The researcher looked at Qin Feng in confusion before he replied, “With what? Human flesh, of course! We collected the humans that were deceased recently and fed them to the ape. It’s such a shame that we don’t have any ability user’s corpse. We do have a few mutants with us here but they were strong; so, they did not die in battle when facing this dimension’s creatures.”

Qin Feng was furious when he heard this. He could see that these researchers were indeed feeling some regret that they could not get a hold of some ability users’ corpses for the ape. Even though they did not actively go out and kill people—only went out and gathered people who had recently died, Qin Feng still found it very difficult to forgive them.

Of course, owing to the fact that they did not actively go out to murder people, Qin Feng decided to not punish them by slaughtering everyone in the lab.

Nonetheless, Qin Feng felt that these people were all nuts. They were as crazy as Z!

Well, it was quite understandable. These nutcases were all Z’s underlings after all!

“Okay. I think I’ve seen enough. Where’s the Devourer? If you don’t want to leave, I’ll need to at least bring it with me.”

Qin Feng did not want to stay there any longer than needed. If he were to know more of their crazy experiments, he might just start slaying everyone!

The researcher, on the other hand, seemed to still want to show more. “Are you sure you don’t want to see our other research? There are still so many to show you! Some of them are sure to benefit humankind!”

Then, he kept on talking, “Do you know? These creatures’ DNA can reinforce the human DNA!”

“Indeed, there seems to be no power at all in this dimension. But it is actually more complicated than that. In fact, our powers and energies were sapped and absorbed by the animals and plants in this dimension. Every single creature in this world has the ability to absorb energy!”

“So, usually they would absorb each other’s energies. But! Now that our world is merged with theirs, they have consumed the energy of our world. Due to the higher intensity of our energies in this world, their creatures evolved almost instantly after absorbing them!”

“Of course, we could also obtain powers by devouring and consuming them. It’s like photosynthesis. These creatures have made our energies more potent after absorbing them. And more importantly, they made these energies much easier to consume and be incorporated into the human body. Still, most of what I’m saying here is just based on theory. Too bad we could not get a hold of too many human samples to test the theory. However, a few members here have tried to test it on themselves.”

“Still, it would be best if we could get some ordinary civilians for our research. This would make it easier for us to determine if pure, ordinary civilians could evolve rapidly via consuming these creatures!”

Of course, Qin Feng knew about this. He himself had consumed the energies from those mutant plants and it worked. Right now, he was probably the only real B5-tier ability user in this dimension.

Nonetheless, he did not intend to help these mad scientists to prove their theories.

“Okay, okay! I get it. But I still need to bring the Devourer with me. If you’re not coming with me, at least bring someone to accompany me so I could manage the beast.”

“Alright.”

Seeing that Qin Feng did not intend to stay and learn more about what their lab was researching on, the researcher nodded and summoned a person to his side—it was a serious-looking young boy, about thirteen years of age. He had a full head of silver hair and wore a pair of glasses.

“His name is Chu Fan. Don’t be fooled by his ordinary looks though!” The researcher pointed a finger at his own head. “This boy is a genius. He has even displayed signs of consciousness manipulation without going through the awakening serum! Right now, he is the only person who can move items using his mind! It’s really amazing to see that his abilities have not faded away even though this area has undergone a spatial overlap!”

Qin Feng was surprised to hear this. “So, can you use spatial waymarks?”

Chu Fan pushed the pair of glasses on his nose bridge and answered, “No. My consciousness is a little different than yours.”

Qin Feng was a little disappointed to hear that. If one could use spatial waymarks or spatial rune equipment, they could build a barrier around the civilians and extract all of them out of the Fettering Land in one go.

Nonetheless, this was not possible right now.

“Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

Chu Fan nodded as another researcher handed him a small glass bottle. The bottle had an oxygen tank installed in it. When Qin Feng took a look through the bottle, there was a seal-like creature about the size of a mouse residing in it.

‘So, this is the Devourer? Damn, it is just a small mouse!’

Still, Qin Feng was grateful that it was not something that was huge. If not, it would be a pain in the ass to bring it out of the Fettering Land.

Chu Fan then brought Qin Feng to a tunnel. Qin Feng frowned as he realized that they were walking toward the direction outside of the city.

“We’re going out of the city? Right now the entire city is enveloped in a spatial overlap. If we stray too far away, we might not be able to head back to the city center!”

Chu Fan took a cold glance at Qin Feng and saw his badge and weapon. “This is the path we usually take to go out of the lab. We normally use this path to acquire the research materials.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Feng did not stop Chu Fan from leading him further. He was curious as to where this path would bring them.

A few moments later, they reached a door. Chu Fan pushed open the door and, sure enough, they were already out in the open.
