Chapter 223: The First Human Experiment

Amidst the turmoil throughout Sakura Country.

Several old fogies had no choice but to hold a press conference, announcing that the medical insurance agency would cover 100,000 Long Coins of medical expenses for every cancer patient until the price of the Destiny Potion returned to normal.

At the same time, the few of them formally issued an apology statement to Su Xin on television, and also apologized to everyone who had suffered damage during the multiple disturbances caused by that assassination incident.

Then they simultaneously announced their resignations to take responsibility.

This news caused a global sensation.

No one had expected that those old fogies, who previously—even when facing an economic crisis sweeping the country—had only arranged for a minor character to offer a fake, insincere apology to Su Xin, would this time actually apologize to Su Xin publicly together.

And for the first time, they formally admitted that it was indeed they who had arranged for people to assassinate Su Xin.

That they, with their status, had been forced to bow and submit by Su Xin without him even making a scene, made everyone realize the terrifying power Su Xin possessed today.

And all of this was not over yet.

After resigning, the several old fogies faced multiple charges; not to mention the matter of ordering murder, just the massive losses brought to Sakura Country by the other party's retaliatory actions following the assassination attempt on Su Xin were enough for the entire Sakura Country to be unable to forgive them.

Especially regarding the economic crisis and this additional price hike of the Destiny Potion; since they could do nothing to Su Xin, they simply pinned all these losses on these old fogies.

Hearing this, Yamanouchi Haruhiko felt utter despair in his heart, leaning powerlessly against the cage and weeping bitterly.

"You are going to become a monster..."

We tested Yamanouchi Haruhiko's original physical data; even if we had tested it, one could see at a glance that the other party was just an ordinary middle-aged man who had not undergone any training, with a potbelly, half-bald hair, and a body full of soft flesh.

Footsteps slowly approached.

Blue veins bulged on his two strong arms, and the muscles instantly expanded, becoming just like two thick maces.

He tore off the blindfold again, casually discarded it to the side, and looked around.

It appeared ferocious and terrifying.

This kind of change was truly astonishing!

"I said, if you cooperate obediently with our experiment, you will have a chance to survive."

One of the direct persons in charge faced ten years of imprisonment, and the others also faced some punishment to varying degrees.

This sense of immense power made Yamanouchi Haruhiko unable to help but laugh out loud, a spirit of being invincible in the world rising spontaneously in his heart.

Being able to succeed on a white chimpanzee only meant that the probability of human experimentation succeeding was relatively high.

Before the experimental results were released, no one dared to guarantee what the final outcome would be.

"Haa!!"

His inner state went from grievance to despair, to unwillingness, and then to resentment, and his emotions also became manic.

Yamanouchi Haruhiko wept continuously.

Inside the cage, Yamanouchi Haruhiko panted heavily, feeling the explosive power within his body, his heart both shocked and joyful.

Various test data such as cells and blood were also very stable.

In the cage, a middle-aged man wearing a gray short-sleeved shirt and shorts had his hands handcuffed behind his back, his eyes covered by a black blindfold, sitting against the edge of the cage, shouting in the Sakura language in terror.

After coming to his senses slightly, he noticed that he was lying on the ground, his hands still handcuffed behind his back.

Biological Experiment Building.

He himself was located in the center of the room.

After a full few minutes of change, Yamanouchi Haruhiko's roaring finally stopped.

After the voice from the loudspeaker finished speaking.

The voice from the loudspeaker continued:

It had also been eighteen days since No. 7 and No. 8 white chimpanzees were injected with the 052 potion.

It was impossible for the sake of a grudge.

"Experiment?"

"I advise you not to resist, otherwise, useless test subjects are just trash to us, and trash will only be destroyed by us immediately."

Yamanouchi Haruhiko instantly went limp all over, leaning powerlessly against the metal cage, tears streaming out continuously, and a wet patch appeared on his crotch, rapidly spreading to the surroundings.

"Yamanouchi Haruhiko, male, 43 years old, born on August 23, 1983, in Gunma Prefecture, Kanto Region, Sakura Country..."

Yamanouchi Haruhiko's mind was filled with this thought, and scenes from science fiction films he had once watched flashed through his mind like a revolving lantern.

However, no matter how high the genetic similarity between white chimpanzees and humans was, they were ultimately not human.

The others nodded silently, staring intently at Yamanouchi Haruhiko on the surveillance screen.

That voice was slightly mechanized, and the tone and timbre were very familiar; he immediately recognized it as the built-in voice pack of the Sakura version of the Tiantian Assistant.

The next moment.

Now, hearing the word "experiment," it confirmed to him that he had been captured by some mysterious organization to be used as material for human experimentation.

The handcuffs were torn apart directly, leaving only two metal rings around his two wrists.

In this half-month, the three white chimpanzees had not shown any abnormalities in other aspects, except that their physical fitness had doubled.

In a laboratory in the Biochemical Zone.

The series of news reports allowed many netizens at home and abroad to enjoy the gossip to their heart's content.

Yamanouchi Haruhiko was still struggling.

After he shouted for a while.

So he sat there with a face full of struggle and terror, without making any moves.

There were no signs of his body collapsing.

And now, the muscle lines all over his body were becoming more and more obvious, just like a professional fitness enthusiast who had trained for many years.

A few minutes later, a warm current gradually surged within his body, and a series of slight numbness and itching occurred all over his body.

"Now, we are going to arrange for someone to inject you with a potion. Don't worry, this potion has already been verified many times and will not cause obvious harm to the human body; on the contrary, it can significantly improve your physical fitness. We just need you to cooperate in verifying the detailed effects of this potion."

"The current me could probably kill the me from a few minutes ago with one punch."

One of them said with great anticipation.

The voice from the loudspeaker paused, then said: "Releasing you is impossible. Since you have come here, you must cooperate with us to complete the experiment. Don't worry, as long as you cooperate obediently, we will absolutely not harm you."

And what he did not notice was.

A few minutes ago, he had been blindfolded again, his hands cuffed, locked in an iron cage, and brought to this mysterious place.

At that moment, a burst of unfamiliar Sakura Country language suddenly came from the loudspeaker on the wall:

At this time, seventeen days had already passed since the No. 052 agent was injected into the No. 1 white ape.

……

But he quickly reacted; that should have been the person's hand wearing a rubber glove.

Perhaps it was the drastic change in emotion, or perhaps it was the itching and severe pain in his body that finally made him unable to endure, Yamanouchi Haruhiko began to twist, struggle, and roar crazily inside the cage.

Inside the observation room, a researcher said.

Yamanouchi Haruhiko instinctively shuddered all over.

A cold touch came from his right arm.

At the thought of this.

"Who exactly are you people? Why did you capture me? I beg you, let me go back!"

"Sure enough, I am going to mutate."

This was enough to preliminarily prove that the experiment with the No. 052 agent on the white ape was a success.

His interpersonal relationships were very simple; he never held grudges against anyone, and even if he had conflicts with others, he would basically take the initiative to admit defeat or avoid it at the first opportunity, so it was impossible for him to have enemies.

"Inject!"

"Using the body of a patient like me, surely nothing will come of the experiment; it might even affect the results of the experiment."

After these possibilities were ruled out, terrifying scenes like organ harvesting and human experimentation naturally emerged in his mind.

"Hope we can replicate the success seen in the white ape!"

This made him even more terrified.

Yamanouchi Haruhiko heard the slight sound of the door opening and closing, which made him tense up involuntarily, both afraid of the scene he was about to face and worried that resisting would lead to greater harm.

He just cried out in despair:

"I have lived an honest life, and apart from supporting the domestic film industry, I have never done anything shameful, nor have I ever harmed anyone. Why treat me like this!"

"Let me go... I... I..."

"His muscles are growing larger, and his body fat percentage is visibly decreasing."

During this time, he kept thinking in his mind why the other party had captured him.

The middle-aged man named Yamanouchi Haruhiko looked around in a panic, but being blindfolded, he could see nothing, and the voice from the loudspeaker could not be localized, so he could only shout loudly toward a certain direction:

"I beg you to show mercy and spare my life. After I leave, I will absolutely not call the police, and I know nothing about you; even if I leave, I will not pose a threat to you."

"I beg you, let me go!"

He saw that all around were pure white walls, with cameras and loudspeakers in all four corners, and in one direction there was a huge white glass, making it impossible to see the scene on the other side.

Yamanouchi Haruhiko's heart stirred, and he decisively tried it, exerting force with both arms at the same time.

A voice came from the loudspeaker again.

"What kind of evil laboratory is this! Why was I the one captured! Why am I the one turning into a monster!"

"Perhaps, I can break free directly..."

"Body becoming stronger? It's actually true!"

Two researchers pushed a metal cage into the Experimental Area together, then turned and left.

"My health is poor, I have been very weak since I was a child, and I have had heart cramps for these years. The doctor said I might have a relatively serious heart disease, but I didn't have the money to treat it."

But until the two researchers walked out and closed the big door, he did not hear any response.

The muscles all over his body seemed to be breathing, swelling and contracting, and the blood vessels all over his body stood out, densely covering his entire body.

He was just an ordinary Sakura Country citizen; his parents had passed away one after another a few years ago, leaving him no inheritance, and he was just an ordinary employee with a low income. Even though he had never married or had children, he hadn't saved much money, so the possibility of being kidnapped for money was ruled out by him immediately.

Until it stopped beside him.

Yamanouchi Haruhiko became even more nervous.

So everyone was incomparably expectant.

"Crack!!"

Yamanouchi Haruhiko, however, could not feel it at all.

Previously, he had been drugged on his way home from work, and the time since then had been spent either unconscious or blindfolded; he didn't even know where he was now, until he was sent to this mysterious place yesterday and locked in a cramped room.

A cold needle pierced into his arm, and two seconds later, it was decisively withdrawn.

"Please do not resist."
