Darkness is Coming

The   Yongzhi Building is now gone. The residents of the past have moved out of this place after the last accident, and the already desolate suburbs can hardly hear a single sound now.

   Driving westward from Yongzhi Building for a few hours, there is no sign of any living creatures, but this does not mean that there are no humans or other creatures in this area.

  In the underground laboratory far away from the city, Hou Jie stood in the operating room holding his breath, guarding Qiu Zhe with No. 3 in a leather coat.

The operating room is separated by bulletproof glass. People standing outside can clearly see the scene inside through the transparent glass. Coupled with Hou Jie's enhanced eyesight, he can even see the pores of the people inside. It was this scene that made Hou Jie dare not breathe.

  Because an unprecedented brain replacement surgery is going on in the operating room.

   It is said to be unprecedented, not only because there has never been a successful precedent for brain replacement or head replacement surgery in human history, but also because of the randomness of this surgery, even the person who presides over the surgery is not a doctor!

They were just a few experimenters, who wore similar white coats and simply killed the condemned prisoners from Jiangxin Island by special means, then cut open their skulls, cut off the brains of the deceased with precision instruments, and then Gently place the other brain into the cranial cavity and begin suturing the skull.

   What kind of brain replacement surgery is this? Not to mention brain replacement, even if it is a head replacement operation, the time-consuming and expensive before and after it will be astronomical. Countless preparations have to be made in advance, and a large number of drugs must be injected afterwards to suppress immunity and avoid rejection. Moreover, the major issues that need to be considered in head replacement surgery Just connecting the blood supply and the bone marrow nerves, and brain replacement surgery is hundreds of times more complicated.

  However, such a complicated operation, beyond the current medical level of human beings, was completed in just a few minutes, which made Hou Jie inconceivable.

In a normal human brain, if hypoxia exceeds 10 seconds, it will be damaged and die due to severe hypoxia. The situation faced by this brain undergoing surgery is not as simple as hypoxia. It is difficult for Hou Jie to imagine that it is really a a brain, not an unknown novelty that looks like a brain

   But the facts did not allow him to question, he knew that it was indeed a brain.

Since receiving RA1, his physical fitness has been greatly improved again. Hou Jie has become a real super soldier, and he can also hear some core information that he had no right to access before, such as the object of this brain replacement surgery: brain in a vat, mutant brain.

   was sent to the laboratory by two strangely shaped mutants.

It stands to reason that mutants should be experimental materials in the laboratory, but this brain is different. It can remain active after it is separated from the trunk and loses blood supply and energy. This is a brain that can survive independently, and its performance The supernatural ability developed completely violated the existing laws of biological science, which made Mr. Qiu decide to keep it.

   And after entering the ecological tank, the brain actually began to try to talk to people, and through the translation of the two strangely-shaped mutants, it had a conversation with Mr. Qiu.

No one knows the content of the conversation, but since then, this brain has been sent to the forbidden area of ​​​​the laboratory: the negative eighth floor, and has been carefully nurtured and guarded, and after that, the laboratory's research on T-primarchs has progressed By leaps and bounds. Many people speculated that it was this mutant brain that gave Mr. Qiu some hints.

   Now, such a miraculous or terrifying brain is about to come to life. Hou Jie's mouth was dry, he stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, and turned his eyes to the other side, where stood a row of figures with a faintly rancid smell, all of them mutants.

   Hou Jie has read the Catalogue of Variants, and naturally knows that in general, the more similar the mutants are to humans in appearance and the less rancid odor, the higher the degree of mutation and the stronger the strength. And each of the mutants here brought unprecedented pressure to Hou Jie.

   The current Hou Jie can't be compared to the state he was in when he went to Jiangxin Island, but he still doesn't dare to despise these mutants. Looking at the expression of No. 3 next to him, he is equally dignified, which shows that these mutants are powerful.

   Hou Jie and No. 3 were extremely opposed to Mr. Qiu putting these mutants in, but Mr. Qiu insisted on following the instructions of the brain in the tank. Hou Jie was thinking about how to protect Mr. Qiu from evacuating if a fight broke out later, and there was a riot in the operating room over there.

   Hou Jie hurriedly looked up, he saw the body on the operating table move his fingers, and he didn't know when he had opened his eyes!

how can that be? Hou Jie's eyes widened, using such a crude and simple method to implant the brain into the human body, how could this brain really take over this body? This is not a miracle, this is a supernatural phenomenon that breaks scientific common sense!

What happened next made Hou Jie even more stunned. The man on the operating table turned his wrists, moved his toes and shook his feet. He seemed to be familiar with his new body. Then he straightened up and got off the operating table. sit up! The people in the operating room were so frightened that they were fighting with their legs, and all of them had to lean against the glass door to stand up, and those who were far away from the door sat on the ground with their buttocks, frightened to the point of urinating.

   The mutants on the other side also reacted, and they all knelt down on one knee, as if to welcome the return of the king.

The man sitting on the operating table jumped to the ground, not looking at the poor people in the operating room who were frightened by him, nor the mutants kneeling on the ground outside, but looked at Qiu Zhe and smiled slightly: "Mr. Qiu ,Hello."

Qiu Zhe didn't lose his temper like those incompetent experimenters. He nodded reservedly and replied, "Hello. After so long, we finally have a chance to have a real conversation. I have done what you asked me to do. All, now, hopefully you can fulfill your promises right away."

When the    voice fell, the security guards surrounding the operating room raised their weapons one after another. Hou Jie and No. 3 also tightened their muscles, like two human-shaped explosive barrels, which could explode with deadly destructive force at any time.

   At the same time, the mutant kneeling on the ground stood up at the same time, and the flesh on his body cracked in an extremely disgusting way, revealing the original hideous and terrifying form. Hou Jie knew that this was what these mutants really looked like. When they were going to fight with all their strength, they would drop their human-like disguise.

"Ah, don't get excited." The man who was talking to Qiu Zhe hummed a little tune out of tune, danced briskly, walked naked and jumped out of the door of the operating room, smiling, "Mr. Qiu, you don't have to Don't worry, I still need you to solve a few big problems for me, and of course I will spare no effort to help you. Besides, I am a person who keeps my word."

   Hou Jie heard that, he added the accent to the word "person".

"Of course, I've been looking forward to this conversation for a long time, so let's skip the unimportant nonsense." A mutant with fat ears handed a suit to the naked man, and he took it. Clothes, saying, "Let's start by introducing myself."

   "My name is Bai, Mr. Qiu. Nice to meet you."
