Chapter 926: 007

In a high-security prison somewhere in the country, it holds dangerous individuals from all over the nation. Without exception, the criminals who enter this prison have all descended into the depths of sin.

The number of criminals who have lived to walk out of this prison since its establishment can be counted on one hand.

Coming here signifies waiting for death, or dying of old age.

In this deserted area, dust suddenly billows in the distance outside the prison, as a military SUV speeds toward the facility.

In an instant, all security forces enter combat mode.

With a screech of brakes, the military SUV comes to a stop. Due to receiving prior notification, no one attacks the approaching vehicle without orders.

Despite this, the security personnel stay vigilant.

Only after both sides complete identity confirmation and ensure the vehicle’s safety inspection does the combat alert get lifted, allowing the vehicle to proceed.

Separated by hardened glass, the interrogation room is divided into two parts.

People seated on either side can only communicate via electronic devices.

At this moment, one side of the interrogation room is already full, while the other side is empty, void of any person.

“You can start now.”

“Yes, sir!”

Soon, the door on the opposite side opens, and two armed men bring in a convict wearing shackles on both feet and hands.

One after another, the convicts leaving the interrogation room mostly have complex expressions.

When a ray of light appears in despair, just like a drowning person grabbing onto a lifeline, anyone would want to climb out, even a convict is no exception.

Because there was no special effort to keep it secret, soon, the entire prison, with the exception of a few enjoying solitary confinement, learned of the news.

Human experiments might lead to an early death, but if they don’t die, a death sentence could turn into life imprisonment.

As for leaving this prison, to be honest, those who have long lost hope hardly consider it.

Moreover, with their crimes, it’s impossible for them to be released.

“Hehe, anyway, my execution day is almost here, guys, I’ll go first. I’ve always believed my luck has been quite good to live until now.”

Under the watchful eyes of a group of convicts, the convicts who had just mocked themselves stood up, patted their bottoms, and walked toward the nearby guards.

That action was undoubtedly challenging the guards’ nerves.

“Stop!”

“I’m signing up.” He wasted no words, knowing that too much talk and continuing forward would definitely result in being met with tranquilizer darts.

……………

The few newcomers in the interrogation room were not at all surprised by the news. It was only logical for someone to volunteer; not all convicts can face death without any emotional turmoil.

“This is a good start, record all those who volunteered.”

Two days later, to the incredulous eyes of other convicts, the first hundred volunteers were indeed taken away, leaving the prison.

A human experiment broke the historical record of this prison where only fewer than ten people have walked out in decades.

Even if they were just being transferred elsewhere for continued detention, and might face quick death should the experiment fail, those remaining were extremely regretful.

Here, they can only wait for death, but once they leave, at least there’s a glimmer of hope.

Four coaches, escorted by armed police, with armed helicopters hovering in the sky, ready to provide air support at any time.

The convicts who couldn’t see the scenery outside the bus didn’t know where they were being taken, only aware that they had been sitting in the vehicles for a long time.

Once again pushed out of the bus, they arrived at a place resembling an underground base.

The following days were peaceful, and the hundred people were treated to a variety of bountiful meals for each meal.

Everyone fell silent, deducing one conclusion from the never-disappointing food: the experiment’s mortality rate would be high.

This recent catering might be their last meal.

“Begin the experiment according to the scheduled plan. All involved personnel must record every piece of data during the experiment, ensuring that no detail is overlooked!”

On this day, after being injected with the X-Gene Optimization Liquid, the convicts clueless about the specific type of drug experiment lay waiting to die on pristine hospital beds.

As time ticked away, they recalled their lives, surprised to find themselves still alive, feeling even warm all over.

Apart from the sensory experience, the only external phenomenon was sweating, excessive sweating.

“I am Recorder No. 007, please describe your immediate feelings.”

“Warm, it feels like the sensation after finishing a physical workout. And also sweating. Hello, I’d like some water, can I…”

“Please wait.”

Seemingly prepared, Recorder No. 007 hands a glass of water to the convict.

“This water tastes odd.”

Upon hearing this, Recorder No. 007 doesn’t act surprised, simply noting in the journal “Experiment subject’s taste is normal.”

“This is a 0.9% concentration sodium chloride solution, essentially saline, don’t be nervous.”

“Sweating is also normal, so timely replenishment of saline is needed.”

“Are you experiencing dizziness or nausea?”

“No.”

“Any sense of…”

……………

The heavy rain continues, as private cars awaiting to pick up children on vacation from Chengnan Primary School clog the road completely.

Having finished the last exam, Candy and Xiang’Er with only an exam folder in hand are among the first to rush downstairs.

However, upon seeing countless parents flooding the campus, yet not spotting Candy Technology’s school buses in the parking lot, Candy and Xiang’Er feel stumped.

“Where are the school buses? The three minibuses, why isn’t there any in sight?”

At this point, Zero, appearing suddenly behind Candy, calmly states, “The school buses are blocked outside, can’t get in. Just go directly to the original parking spot to gather, the drivers are all waiting there.”

Upon hearing this, Candy takes a closer look toward the parking lot, indeed, the drivers are right there.

After waiting for nearly half an hour, Candy and Xiang’Er finally board the first full school bus heading back to the complex.

Walking into the office, Candy sees her brother leisurely humming an off-key tune, holding his phone, with an unknown interest.

Seeing Candy, Mo Jingchun grins, “Oh, you’re on vacation now.”

“How did the last exam go, how do you feel about it?”

Candy rolls her eyes and says, “It’s not a high school entrance exam, what difficulty would a fifth-grade primary school exam pose for me?”

“The easier it is, the more careful you need to be, or you might miss points even on a giveaway question.”

After saying this, Mo Jingchun twists his neck.

“In a few days, there’s the company annual meeting, do you want to perform something on stage?”
