Peerless Genius System Chapter 614 - Set Free

Chapter 614: Set Free

[Experimentation Laboratory, Bas.e.m.e.nt 1 of the Research Facility].

A group of laboratory staff in white hazmat suits stood around a gigantic culture tank, observing a genetically modified soldier undergoing the process of transformation. One of them wore a soldier’s uniform. He had a thick waist, and his build was rather rotund. His legs were short and stubby, and half the hair on his head was already white. There were rows of medals pinned on his chest, and he was none other than the man overseeing the human experimentation project in this research facility—Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake. There was a Mei national beside him, wearing a white hazmat suit, and they were both looking excitedly at the genetically modified soldier in the culture tank undergoing the transformation process. And the test subject was Xie Wenchang!

Xie Wenchang was submerged in the tank and had a good number of needles stuck into his back. Several tubes carried the nutrients he needed for sustenance, while the others injected the genetic agent into him. His eyes were shut tight, and his body ma.s.s had increased at least twofold. The flesh and skin on his body took on a metal-like hue, and all the hair on his head had fallen off, leaving him bald.

“No blade or bullet can pierce through him, and neither water nor fire can destroy him. Nothing on this earth can kill it. This is the fear-inspiring ultimate soldier that will dominate the battlefield of the future!”

Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake’s eyes were filled with excitement. As long as they could ma.s.s-produce soldiers like these, the entire world would tremble in fear when they faced the forces of the Ri Nation. With such a force, world domination would be nothing but a matter of time.

“The love of a father for his wife and child— this is the ultimate strength we humans have. It gives us the strength to withstand excruciating pain, and this man is proof of it. He’s given us quite a surprise with his resilience!” the Mei national in the hazmat suit said.

“Quite a surprise, indeed. Our countries can soon agree to wage war as a united front, and conquer the world together,” Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake said. He looked like a madman as he excitedly licked his chapped lips.

“Bingo!”

The Mei national gave him a double thumbs-up and curled his lips into an approving smile.

Suddenly, the screen in the center console flashed with the picture of a nervous-looking security officer. He was frantic and wallowing in fear as cold sweat poured down his face. His eyes were wide and his body was shaking uncontrollably.

“Major General Yamas.h.i.+ta, we… we can’t hold on any longer. There’s a monster out here! He came charging and killing us… we… we can’t retaliate anymore…”

“You idiot! Are you saying the genetically modified soldier couldn’t hold him off?” Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake roared, and a scowl formed on his face.

This situation spoilt the excitement he derived from the success of the ultimate genetically modified soldier. Matsus.h.i.+ta Take’s demeanor suddenly changed—this was absurd. To find out that his genetically modified soldier was no match for this intruder was not something he had expected.

“He tore through the genetically modified soldiers like paper, we…”

The security officer’s voice trailed off on the screen, and then his trembling voice cut off abruptly. Everybody in the experiment laboratory sucked in a deep breath when they saw a grisly hand tearing through his chest on the screen. Blood spurted out from the security officer’s nose, and his whole body convulsed from the immense pain.

Did he just tear through an adult’s body with his bare hand, just like that?

Everybody in the experimentation laboratory was stunned, and they could not believe that this was happening.

Hiss~

The screen in the center suddenly burst into millions of random dot pixels, and the display turned static. Evidently, the camera was destroyed.

The Mei national pulled his gaze away from the screen and turned to Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake, and the look of fear in his eyes was apparent. “Mr. Yamas.h.i.+ta, I b-better get a move on,” he stuttered.

“You’re leaving? Are you afraid?” Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake laughed mockingly.

“Of course I’m scared, d*mn it. I don’t know what demon the Hua Nation sent here, but none of us will survive if we don’t leave now,” the Mei national said.

The Mei national had initially thought that a regular agent had infiltrated into the facility. He thought that this would be someone the security team outside and the genetically modified soldier could wipe out. But this was far from the truth, and it made the man feel that his life was in danger.

“You absolute idiot, we have the ultimate genetically modified soldier here with us, so there’s no need for us to worry about a mere Hua national. Once the sick man of Asia, always the sick man of Asia, and this isn’t something that will change over time. I’ll make him pay for this!” Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake snarled and clenched his fists.

“You’ve gone insane. The genetically modified soldier might be a huge success, but his present condition is not stable. He may, or may not have his previous memories intact, and with such genetically modified soldier who does will not heed your commands, the first target he’ll take out once those shackles are off will be you,” the Mei National cried. He lost control of his emotions but managed to calm himself down again. “There can be no further delays. The monster sent by Hua Nation should still be in bas.e.m.e.nt 3. I have to leave now. Good luck, and G.o.d bless you all, amen!”

He made the sign of the cross in prayer and then hurriedly headed for the door of the experimentation laboratory.

BOOM!

At that very moment, there was a tremendous bang on the metal door of the laboratory. It was as if a beast had slammed into it, sending the door bursting off its hinges and right into the Mei national like a bomb.

“Urrgh!”

The moment the door smashed into him, the Mei national spat out a mouthful of fresh blood as he was thrown backward. He could hear the sound of his bones cracking before he slumped on the floor in a heap. Instinctively, he stared at the man standing by the door. The man was soaked in blood from head to toe and an ominous, murderous aura emanated from him. Blood dripped to the floor from the claw-like hand that hung limply by his side, and he looked every bit as terrifying as a demon who had walked straight out of h.e.l.l.

It was none other than Xiao Luo!

Suzuki Ikuo and his two henchmen stood close behind him, but Xiao Luo was there to lead the charge and bring about devastation.

“Those are great skills you have there, man from the Hua Nation!” Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake said. He had both his hands behind his back and his voice was low and hoa.r.s.e.

“Sorry, I ruined your door,” Xiao Luo said. He was in no rush to make his move as he glanced at the culture tank and recognized the metallic-hued giant—it was Xie Wenchang. Xiao Luo thought to himself and decided that the key to rescuing Xie Wenchang was Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake.

Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake gave Xiao Luo a humorless smile. “That doesn’t matter, you can pay with your life!” he said.

Xiao Luo smirked and replied, “Is that so? And why are you so confident?”

“Because of this, of course!” Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake said, pointing with a thumb at the test subject in the tank.

After he gloated, he moved toward the tank with a menacing look on his face, and then pressed the red b.u.t.ton. “Meet our most powerful of the genetically modified soldiers!” he bellowed, “Awaken from your slumber, soldier!”

“Oh, G.o.d, no!”

The Mei national gasped and stared at Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake releasing the beast. He had been part of this program since its beginning, and he knew better than anyone else how terrifying the genetically modified soldiers were. What Yamas.h.i.+ta Tomotake had set free was not a beast but a creature of h.e.l.l, and it would tear everyone here into bits and pieces.

The instant the red b.u.t.ton was pressed, Xie Wenchang, whose eyes were closed, suddenly opened them. They were a terrifying pair of eyes, deep green, and glowering with bloodl.u.s.t. The ultimate soldier started thras.h.i.+ng about in the tank, gasping for oxygen.
