Cold, hard, musty ground.
Lupine woke up on his stomach.
He realized that something was wrong with his body. His body seemed too big and bloated. The diameter of his arms was almost as large as the thighs of ordinary people. His fingers were swollen like carrots... and there was severe pain everywhere in his body, and his blood vessels were hopping.
"Where is this? Wasn't I lying on the bed playing "Protocore Evolution"? Why did I end up here in the blink of an eye?"
"There is another person's memory in my mind... Hiss, I traveled through time?!"
Lu Ping couldn't move his body and could only twist his neck with difficulty to observe his environment.
Dungeon? prison?
No wonder he thought so. He was in a small cubicle of less than 8 square meters, with three cement walls, a fence and iron door, and only one bed beside him.
Outside the iron gate is a dim corridor with such compartments next to each other.
I only have a simple robe on me... It can't even be called a robe, it's just a woven bag with three holes cut out, and the hands and head are stretched out respectively...
His lower body was so cold that he couldn't help but shudder.
"Okay, I seem to remember, this is not a prison cell, but an underground clinic."
Lu Ping rubbed his temples and gradually found the information he needed from the messy memory of this body, "an underground clinic that claims to be able to carry out genetic enhancement."
"This is another earth... The time is 2077. Here, genetic engineering and mechanical prosthetics are quite common medical methods, but transformation for the purpose of strengthening is illegal!"
"The original owner of this body was very courageous. He secretly contacted such an underground clinic and paid a large sum of money to inject the so-called 'gene enhancement potion'... But he did not expect that there was no gene enhancement potion here! On the contrary, This is just a black workshop that is developing genetic potions, and the original person and the same batch of injectors have become guinea pigs."
Thinking of this, Lu Ping couldn't help but stand on end and looked at the compartment on the opposite side of the corridor.
From where Lupine was, he could just see the three cubicles on the opposite side of the corridor. He used the dim light to distinguish carefully. There was a bloated human-shaped black figure lying in each cubicle. The degree of swelling was no less than his own. , one person even had a black and thick deformed sharp horn growing on his forehead, and another person had fine black hair growing on his body.
The expansion of the body caused the skin to tear, and yellowish body fluid seeped out from their broken skin. A large accumulation of fluid had already formed under the body. If it weren't for the faint rise and fall of the chest, it would be difficult to tell that they were still alive.
Those were the same group of injectors as Lupine...
In fact, many people in the same group have died, and those who are still alive will only receive injections again.
"You won't just travel through time, you will have to die again." Lu Ping's heart felt cold.
This is a body that is on the verge of collapse during genetic modification. No wonder it is difficult for him to move. The original owner of the body is dead. I am afraid that his consciousness will also die soon.
Just as he was thinking about it, an emotionless female voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "Optimizing and reorganizing the state", and at the same time, there was a sudden restlessness in his body.
It was as if all the muscles, bones and internal organs were squirming. If someone looked from the side at this time, they could see that there seemed to be countless little mice crawling under Lupine's skin, and each muscle was constantly adjusting its position.
His overall body shape is slowly transforming from "bloated" to "majestic".
There must be some deeper changes, Lu Ping felt a tingle deep in his bones.
After a while, the voice sounded again.
"Reconfiguration optimization successful."
Lupine heard it clearly this time, and his eyes showed ecstasy, because he finally remembered why this voice sounded so familiar. Wasn't it the game "Protocore Evolution" he was playing before time travel?
"Prokaryotic Evolution" is an evolutionary survival sandbox game. Players start by controlling a prokaryotic bacterium, constantly devouring other organisms and collecting various genes. Through the game's own "biological editor", different genes can be automatically optimized and reorganized to generate more powerful new creatures.
Did the game travel through time with myself?
Lu Ping didn't have time to think too much, he just hoped that this would be a turning point so that he could survive.
He tried to move...
Sure enough, his body regained the ability to move, but he was just a thin boy after all, so this majestic body made him a little awkward.
Just as he was about to try to stand up, there was sudden movement in the corridor. Lu Ping was moved in his heart and lay back down again.
From the end of the corridor came the footsteps of several people, the crisp sound of keys, the thud of palms hitting the iron door, and the impatient voice: "Hey, are you still alive? Squeak if you are alive -"
The sound of footsteps moved from one end of the corridor to this side little by little.
"This one is dead, take it away..."
"Is this one still alive? Notify Dr. Ge that it's time for the next injection..."
As those people got closer and closer, Lupine gradually heard their conversations, and... some kind of sizzling sound of electricity.
Lu Ping lay on the ground, desperately searching for his original memory... It turned out that this underground clinic was located near No. 38 Yuelai Street. On the surface, it looked like an ordinary dental clinic, but shady activities were carried out underground.
The original person is quite familiar with the nearby terrain... In other words, as long as he can run out to the street, he will be saved!
Just as he was thinking about it, Lupine saw several people stopping at the door of his cubicle.
Through the slit of his half-closed eyelids, Lupine saw the leader, a young man in a jacket and an afro, holding a long pole in his hand and stabbing him through the fence.
"Zi la!"
The arc flashed and Lu Ping's body was shaken!
But it was just a shock, just like the normal bounce of a not-quite-dead corpse when it was shocked. After the convulsion, it still lay motionless as if dead.
"Is this one dead too? Carry it away. Carry it away." Explosive Head shrugged and said impatiently.
Behind him, the two boys nodded and bowed, found the corresponding key from the big bunch of keys, and opened the iron gate. Then two people came in, one on the left and one on the right, holding Lupine's armpits, intending to drag him to the cart outside the door.
Lu Ping's body at this time was two meters high, with a huge back and a strong waist. It was very difficult for them to drag him.
When he was dragged to the iron gate, Lu Ping suddenly opened his eyes!
"Bang bang!" Pushing their arms left and right, the heads of the two minions hit the iron fence, and their necks were instantly fractured.
As if a monster had emerged from its cage, Lupine caught up with the young man with the afro in three and two steps at a time. Before the other man could raise the pole in his hand, he grabbed his head and slapped it on the wall next to him!
Phew.
Like a watermelon hitting the ground.
This group of people committed many crimes, seeking wealth and killing, and even tortured the original owner of this body in every possible way. When Lu Ping did this, he did not have any psychological barriers, but instead felt a sense of pleasure in getting revenge.
Next, Lupine stumbled and bolted toward the stairs at the end of the corridor.
