Chapter 1555 - 1553: The Perfect Test Subject

Chapter 1555: Chapter 1553: The Perfect Test Subject

Yang Chen didn’t dare tell Chen Siyan that he’d already taught someone, so he could only change the subject.

"Your sister-in-law and I have to go out for a while. We’ll come back after some time," Yang Chen said.

As soon as Chen Siyan heard that, her face instantly darkened.

"You’re leaving again!" Because she knew that once Yang Chen left, nobody knew when he’d be back, and he was definitely going off to do something dangerous.

Yang Chen laughed. "I’ll be back in just a few days."

"Oh." Chen Siyan didn’t believe that at all.

After dinner.

Yang Chen and Ye Xin packed a few things and then left.

Before leaving, Yang Chen only said one sentence to Jian Feng: "Keep yourself under control, or I’ll break your three legs."

Jian Feng was so scared he squeezed his legs together.

After they left, Chen Siyan pounced toward Jian Feng.

Jian Feng turned pale with fright and hurriedly said, "Don’t you still have work to do? Hurry up and get to work! You’ve got to keep the hype going, and your project has to be pushed out as soon as possible. While you’ve still got name recognition, get it moving now." ℴℴ𝘮

"Oh." Chen Siyan pouted, disappointed, climbed off Jian Feng, and went upstairs, sulking.

Watching Chen Siyan go upstairs, Jian Feng couldn’t help letting out a long sigh of relief.

If he really lost control, once Yang Chen came back, wouldn’t he kill him?

...

Star Country.

Area 52, experimental base.

"We did it! Finally, we did it!" The scientists were so excited they were jumping around.

The man in power in Area 52, James, rushed to the control room.

"How is it?" James asked excitedly.

He’d put up a huge amount of defense funding to invest in this experiment. The people upstairs had already urged them countless times. The previous batches of test subjects hadn’t satisfied them at all, and now Congress was starting to complain.

If he still couldn’t deliver something satisfactory, James would be in trouble.

Looking at the test subject in the lab undergoing examinations, James’s eyes lit up.

This man didn’t look any different from before; he looked just like a normal person.

"Did it work?" James asked again.

Scientist No. 1 said excitedly, "Yes! A perfect test subject!"

"What do the data say?" James pressed.

"Everything’s normal!"

James was still uneasy. He pressed the intercom button and shouted into the lab, "Report the status!"

The people inside immediately reported, "Heart rate... normal! Brain waves... normal! Parasite... normal! Test subject... normal! Everything stable!"

Hearing the report from inside, James finally relaxed.

Scientist No. 1 said to James, "Sir, this time the test subject is truly perfect! You can see he has no abnormalities at all, and there’s been no mutation or abnormal growth anywhere due to the parasite. But at the fundamental level, his physical condition has been enhanced! We can proceed to the next stage of testing right now!"

James had long been itching for this. He said in a deep voice, "Start the testing immediately!"

Scientist No. 1 nodded. "All right! I’ll arrange it right away!"

"Begin the testing phase!"

With that order.

The test subject was led by the scientists to a room specifically used for testing.

First up was the strength test.

James stared fixedly at the surveillance footage.

Strength testing.

They started by measuring punching power.

After several consecutive tests, the force of a single punch was recorded at eight hundred jin.

That already exceeded the limits of human capability.

Next came the weightlifting test.

After continuously adding weight, he ultimately stabilized at two thousand three hundred jin!

That was absolutely superhuman!

James was so excited his whole body was shaking, and the whites of his wide eyes were shot through with blood.

"Good! Excellent! Excellent!" James shouted, swinging his clenched fists in excitement.

Next came the speed test.

The final result: a hundred-meter sprint in just 3.5 seconds!

There were also various endurance tests, stress tests, and external stimulus tests.

The final data showed the parasite had completely fused with the test subject, becoming one with the human body.

Scientist No. 1 was so moved he burst into tears.

"It worked! We finally did it! I finally did it! This may be a small step for me, but for the path of human evolution it’s a giant leap! A permanent advance! For the scientific community, for the field of biological science, this is an indelible milestone!"

James also straightened up and gave Scientist No. 1 a deep bow. Looking at this white‑haired old man, he said solemnly, "The scientific community will remember the contribution you’ve made! Star Country will remember your sacrifice as well! I’ll submit a proposal to Congress to put you in the Hall of Fame, to let history remember you forever!"

Scientist No. 1 waved his hand. "At my age, I no longer care about things like fame. I just want to contribute a bit more to science—do what little I can for the progress of humanity!"

After hearing this, James was deeply moved and bowed again.

"If you really insist on putting me in that Hall of Fame or whatever, find out what conditions and procedures I’d need to go through. Sometimes, young people do need a bit of encouragement..." Scientist No. 1 lifted his head, wearing a face full of patriotic righteousness.

James froze mid‑bow, staring at the floor, his expression wonderfully complicated.

"So this is what you call not caring about fame? Fake. If I’d known, I wouldn’t have brought it up." But James still forced a smile and said, "Young people do need motivation. Don’t worry, once I’m back I’ll submit a proposal to Congress. After all, you’ve already done too much for the country."

Scientist No. 1 nodded, very satisfied with James’s answer, and said, "Now that the test subject has succeeded, if the higher‑ups approve, we can start mass‑producing super soldiers!"

James nodded immediately, saying excitedly, "Rest assured, I’ll report to my superiors at once! Once this is approved, we’ll be the great heroes of Star Country!"

Scientist No. 1’s lips also curled into a brilliant smile.

"If I’m not mistaken, we’re the first to complete a perfect test subject! Even though the origin of this thing is in that Eastern country, with their level of technology they’re no match for us at all. I bet right now they’re still racking their brains over how to solve the parasite‑integration problem," Scientist No. 1 snickered.

"Exactly," James laughed as well. "That country’s so backward they can barely feed themselves, let alone develop high technology!"

You had to admit, they still had a lot of misconceptions about that Eastern nation.

Because, at the very same time, in the Flame Country research base—

Yang Chen and Ye Xin entered the base, passed through layer after layer of checks, and went into the lab.

"Three days ago they already developed a test subject. This one seems to be very refined, so I decided to come take a look personally," Yang Chen said to Ye Xin.
