Chapter 273: I Am a Noble Level 2 Life Form!

"Director Yalike, you should also know that the matter of biological experiments cannot be completed in a short time."

One of the white-haired elderly Caucasian men said in a calm tone.

"The serum that Gailun previously developed has major flaws. Although it can allow a person to survive for half an hour, this does not mean it is a semi-finished product, nor does it mean that adjusting the concentration of the serum can continuously increase survival time, or even perfect it."

"We need to try new ingredients to replace it, and even consider new technical solutions; it is not as easy as a child playing with a jigsaw puzzle."

Yalike waved his hand:

"I just want to know, how long until there are results? We don't have that much time to research slowly."

"Uncertain."

Another elderly man shook his head.

"When you invited us here, you didn't say the time was so urgent."

"Research into human enhancement technology is not that easy; even if we had twice as many people, it would be impossible to meet your requirements."

This meeting ended on a sour note once again.

Yalike left the conference room, strolled around the Laboratory, and finally arrived outside the room where the alien Iris was being held.

Through the one-way tempered glass, Yalike quietly observed Iris inside the room.

In his mind, he recalled the battle from over three months ago when they captured Iris.

The Military dispatched dozens of fully armed elites, bringing along tranquilizer guns, smoke grenades, stun guns, carbon fiber nets, and various other devices; they even brought several weapons of mass destruction just in case.

In that battle, the powerful combat strength the other party displayed made everyone look on in awe.

Most crucially, the other party's defensive strength truly stunned many people; submachine gun bullets hitting their body didn't just fail to cause injury, they couldn't even leave a single mark.

In the end, it was only by relying on the coordination of the carbon fiber net and stun guns, and spending nearly an hour, that they barely managed to subdue the other party.

And after bringing the other party to this new Laboratory, the other party's behavior had been quite cooperative.

Not only did they obediently disclose their origins and identity information, they also stated the control methods for the spaceship and taught them simple commands.

However, according to the alien Iris, the spaceship had already been bound to their identity, and no one else could control it.

"Human enhancement technology is simply impossible to research in a short time."

"Could it be that we really have to risk taking Iris to start the spaceship?"

Yalike frowned.

After capturing Iris, the superiors had actually held meetings to discuss it many times.

It was both a discussion on how to dispose of Iris.

And a discussion on whether to let Iris start the spaceship and bring alien technology to Blue Star—or more accurately, to Yingjiang Country.

After all, they had previously assumed the alien was dead, so they could only try to find ways to start the spaceship themselves and attempt various methods to crack the technology.

But now, since the alien was alive, the other party definitely had a way to start the spaceship, and definitely had a way to impart the technology within the spaceship to Yingjiang Country.

Even a ten-year-old child knew how high the technological content of a spaceship capable of crossing the stars was; just taking out a few items would be enough to easily crush Tianqi Group and crush Su Xin.

The hope for Yingjiang Country to rise again was great.

But they also knew that Iris could start the spaceship, and also had a high possibility of breaking free from their control, or even threatening the entire Blue Star.

The risk was too great.

In the end, Yingjiang Country decided to follow the previous route and continue researching human enhancement technology by utilizing the alien's body.

"Perhaps, it is time to discuss it again."

Yalike turned and left.

After returning to his office.

He immediately made a call to his superiors, proactively reporting the research progress of the past two days.

To summarize the conversation in four words—no progress.

Just as the superior was about to get angry, Yalike suddenly said again:

"According to what the professors say, there is simply no hope for human enhancement technology in the short term; should we reconsider other plans?"

The other end of the phone was silent for a moment.

Then they said: "I understand."

The call ended.

Three days later.

The alien Iris was tightly wrapped like a mummy by five layers of carbon fiber nets, as well as alloy chains, ropes, and various other materials.

Only their head was exposed.

They were escorted by a fully armed team of dozens of people to another experimental base over a thousand kilometers away.

After rigorous identity verification and handover, the alien Iris was strapped to a mobile operating table and pushed into a huge room on the lowest level of the base.

In the center of the room sat a spherical spaceship that was five or six meters tall; there was a huge hole where the spaceship door should have been, with jagged cutting marks on the edges—it was clear that Yingjiang Country had forcibly broken open the door.

Several alloy chains as thick as an arm were connected to the spaceship from various directions, binding it firmly, as if they were afraid the spaceship might suddenly fly away.

Around the spaceship, various mechanical equipment was placed, and over a dozen researchers in white attire were walking back and forth.

It was clear they were currently conducting research on the spaceship.

Yalike glanced at the spaceship, then looked at the alien Iris, who was tied up tightly on the operating table to the side.

"Mr. Iris, we have no intention of harming you; we only want to learn the technology of your Kelo Star, and we were worried you might do something detrimental to us, which is why we tied you up."

"As long as you cooperate well with us to start the spaceship and assist us in transmitting technical data, we will release you unharmed after we finish learning the spaceship's technology."

"This is the promise of the number one power on Blue Star."

Iris looked angry, mixed with unwillingness and hesitation, and finally let out a cold snort:

"I hope you can keep your promise."

Robert, the person in charge of the spaceship research base, was also accompanying them; after curiously glancing at Iris, he smiled and said:

"Rest assured, our Yingjiang Country is the most trustworthy; the entire Blue Star knows this."

Yalike looked at the spaceship not far away, then at the tightly bound Iris, and for some reason, a sense of unease welled up in his heart.

But soon, he shook his head, casting this feeling of unease out of his mind.

"The alien is already bound so tightly that even if he could truly control the spaceship to perform an attack, he himself cannot move."

"Moreover, the spaceship is tied down so securely that it won't be easy for it to fly, let alone break through the base to reach the surface."

"Plus, the spaceship no longer has a door, and some parts of the interior are damaged; there is no way Iris can escape."

Thinking this way.

Yalike forcibly suppressed the unease in his heart, exchanged a few words with the base director Robert, and then let the other party arrange for people to push the operating table with the bound Iris into the spaceship.

He followed closely behind.

The moment he stood inside the spaceship, Yalike felt inexplicably nervous, his right hand subconsciously moving to the grip of the gun at his waist.

That was not a handgun.

It was a specially made stun gun.

When they first subdued Iris, this type of stun gun had played a major role.

If it truly came to a last resort, he could still rely on this stun gun to paralyze the opponent and coordinate with others to subdue Iris once again.

"Iris, please start the spaceship."

After taking a deep breath, Yalike said in a deep voice.

"Alright."

Iris answered obediently, then spoke a string of unknown language.

And as Iris's voice fell, the spaceship's console began to flash with various indicator lights, along with an alert in an alien language.

The next moment.

A hazy radiance enveloped the surface of the spaceship, like a giant bubble.

"Energy Shield?"

Yalike's expression changed; he hurriedly drew the sci-fi-looking stun gun from his waist, pointed it at Iris on the operating table, and shouted angrily:

"Iris, stop immediately..."

But before he could finish his sentence, he felt the spaceship begin to vibrate slightly, and various alert sounds became increasingly frequent.

Yalike fired without hesitation.

A blue bolt of electricity streaked through the air, struck Iris's face, and quickly spread throughout his entire body, crackling incessantly.

The expected paralysis did not occur.

Iris turned his head and grinned with a cold sneer:

"Do you really think I would be afraid of such a weak electric shock?"

"I am a noble Level 2 Lifeform!"

As he spoke, Iris exerted force throughout his body.

The multi-layered carbon fiber mesh, which possessed ultra-high strength and toughness, exploded directly, and the thumb-thick alloy chains were pulled taut, emitting a series of creaking sounds of tension and friction.

The alloy chains did not break, but they gave his limbs a certain amount of room to move.

Iris flipped his wrist, and his fingertips brushed across the alloy chains; like a knife cutting through tofu, he easily severed the chains.

Afterward, he cut through the chains in more places.

Until his body was completely free.

He leaped lightly from the operating table, looked coldly at Yalike nearby, grinned, and then swung his arm, his sharp fingertips slicing across the throats of several people.

At the same time.

Under his command, the spaceship began to rise into the air, pulling the thick chains taut and making creaking sounds.

In the hall, it was already in complete chaos.

The base director Robert ordered an attack, but all the bullets fired by everyone landed on the Energy Shield without causing a single ripple, completely unable to affect the spaceship's startup and ascent.

"Quick! Call for reinforcements!"

Robert shouted orders.

"We are currently underground, and everything around us is made of alloy; he cannot escape! As long as we stop the spaceship, it is a victory!"

But no sooner had he finished speaking.

Than he saw a flash of red light around the spaceship, and all the chains were instantly severed.

Then, something like a cannon barrel extended from one side of the spaceship, flexibly turning to aim toward the sky.

The muzzle brewed a burst of red light.

The next moment, the red light shot out violently.

"Boom!!"

The alloy wall at the top was directly blown open, creating a huge hole over ten meters in diameter.

Debris of bricks and stones of all sizes and remnants of various equipment fell down, all circuits were destroyed, and the basement plunged into darkness, leaving only the spaceship's lights and some emergency indicator lights.

The entire base also began to shake.

Iris controlled the spaceship to pass through the hole and flew into the sky.
