CHAPTER 881: CHAPTER 210: I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ITS PERSON..._2

"President Qin, all the main intersections have been blocked. Injecting the serum is our only hope for survival."

Professor Jin said.

Qin Ling gritted his teeth. Damn it, he remembered Professor Jin mentioning that there was a chance the serum could fail. He purposely asked what the failure would result in.

Who would have thought that the result of failure would be the instant collapse of the genetic structure within the body, leading to a death beyond death itself.

He wanted Professor Jin to give it a try.

But he was afraid that if Professor Jin succeeded, gaining superhuman abilities and completely turning the tables, then their roles would reverse. Even though Qin Ling could reprimand Professor Jin now, in that situation, he would be the one getting his neck twisted.

As he was lost in thought.

There was movement behind him again.

Bam!

Bam!

The walls on both sides of the corridor bulged, as if something was trying to break through.

"President Qin..."

Professor Jin’s face showed a terrified expression.

"Damn it, let’s go for broke."

Without thinking, Qin Ling injected the serum into his arm. As the serum entered his body, Qin Ling’s expression remained unchanged.

"President Qin, quickly follow me. I have a feeling that could be our best way out."

Professor Jin pointed ahead, nimbly running forward.

Qin Ling wanted to ask when the serum would take effect, but who would have thought Professor Jin could run so fast, making him want to twist Professor Jin’s head off in anger.

No choice.

He could only chase after him.

A moment later.

"Professor Jin, why the hell are you running so fast? I wanted to ask how long it takes for the serum to work after injection."

Qin Ling burst in, panting, without even looking at the situation.

But as he uttered those words.

He was utterly dumbfounded.

His eyes widened in shock.

This wasn’t a route to escape; it was the lair of the mother organism.

The surrounding walls were made of metal, but only traces of its original form were visible through scattered gaps. Now the metal walls’ surfaces were crawling with networks of blood and flesh, interwoven like a spider’s nest.

And in the center, a mass of flesh was moving, presenting a human face.

The eyeballs were distorting to the point of nearly bursting.

The mouth was torn, jagged and sharp teeth nestled in chaos, occasionally allowing viscous fluid to cascade down. Upon closer inspection, it seemed as if minute organisms within the fluid were boiling.

"Shit."

Qin Ling, usually composed, couldn’t help but curse.

He turned around to escape, only to find the exit blocked by a dense mass of tentacles.

Desperation shone in Qin Ling’s eyes as he looked at Professor Jin, as if saying, "You really messed up. If you couldn’t lead, why did you at least try? Now we’re on a dead-end path."

At the same time, he observed survivors being released, all entangled by the flesh, with only their heads exposed. This scene eerily resembled a spider storing excess prey.

"Tell me, when does the serum take effect?" Qin Ling did not want to surrender without a fight, desperately asking Professor Jin for the answer.

Professor Jin didn’t answer. Instead, he approached the mother organism, stopped, and reverently said, "The most perfect serum has been injected into him. After this time running, he has succeeded. The gene chain has changed; by assimilating him, we can attain the most perfect gene."

Qin Ling stared, dazedly at Professor Jin, "What... did you say?"

He doubted his own hearing.

Upon seeing the red glow in Professor Jin’s pupils, he realized this Professor Jin might not be the one he had previously known. Could it be that this guy was under the influence of the mother organism?

If he was indeed influenced, when did it occur?

Qin Ling’s suspicions were correct. When they first captured the mother organism, everything appeared normal. As research progressed, the organism began to evolve.

Professor Jin was elated, thinking evolution was beneficial, but he hadn’t considered what abilities the evolved organism might possess.

Eventually, the organism developed a form of mental control, linking with Professor Jin and affecting his mind, establishing a master-servant dynamic.

In Professor Jin’s eyes, the mother organism was his deity.

"President Qin, you can help the mother organism. You are truly valuable. Go now." Professor Jin said.

"You..."

Qin Ling turned to escape, but the organism’s tentacles, like serpents, enveloped him instantly, no matter how he struggled.

He couldn’t break free.

Despair filled Qin Ling’s eyes now, his facial expression distorted frighteningly, but he already knew his body was being swallowed into the organism’s gaping maw. Everything was over.

His life would end here.

The ultimate outcome he sought would also be utterly shattered.

Professor Jin smiled, elated, seemingly anticipating the organism’s evolution.

Suddenly.

Thud!

Professor Jin fell painfully to his knees, clutching his head as a violent pain surged through him.

He raised his head, painfully, looking towards the organism.

The severe pain lined his eyes with blood.

...

The county town.

Lin Fan stared at the satellite phone in his hand.

"I really can’t reach them..."

He had tried calling several times, but no one answered.

"Well, it serves you right. You deceived and captured survivors left and right. Now, with the mother organism in chaos, without an Awakener, you can’t possibly withstand it."
