Chapter 975: Mysterious Insect! Is This Damn Urine?!

~9 min read 1,787 words

He took a brief rest.

Su Yang stood up and stretched lazily.

His mental state was especially good.

He looked toward the depths of the Laboratory and couldn't help licking his lips.

He then turned his head toward Tiger and said, "So, shall we go in and touch the prize?"

Tiger, who had exactly that intention, nodded gladly, "Alright!"

The two walked side by side, and whenever they came across an interesting little gadget, they couldn't resist picking it up.

During this, Su Yang noticed many Incubators, each empty inside.

But they were filled to the brim with a pale yellow liquid.

Seeing this, Su Yang couldn't help asking, "Why does this feel exactly the same as the cultivation fluid used by Imperial Company?"

Tiger explained, "I told you, the three companies all stole their technology."

"Perhaps there are minor differences, but overall they are almost identical."

"Precisely because they share a similar ingenuity, players can descend into this world, though each one's innate talent differs."

So that's how it is…

Thus, in this world, within the researchers' cognition.

Gene Modification is interconnected.

And the newly created techniques manifest differently in terms of innate talent.

For example, some can Giantization.

Some can Graffiti.

Thinking of this, Su Yang asked again, "Whose technology did the three companies steal?"

"I don't know." Tiger shook his head.

The major forces in White Bear City have tangled relationships.

On the surface they compete, but behind the scenes they secretly cooperate.

Other medium and small forces also try to get a share.

The Enforcer Department, which represents fairness and strictness, is not clean.

The entire cyber society is rife with chaos.

The deformed system and humanities are doomed to be short-lived.

In the near future, it will inevitably head toward destruction because of conflicts.

With absolute power, desire will grow wildly and uncontrollably.

Therefore…

This moment happens to be the Buffer Period.

Each faction is vigorously developing technology.

They strive to uncover the ultimate mystery of Gene Modification.

Whoever can reach the other shore first will secure a place in future disputes.

Perhaps that is why Laboratories are distributed in various locations.

"Wait a moment!"

Suddenly, Tiger barked a halt.

Su Yang snapped back to his senses and looked up.

He saw a massive mechanical Bee Hive hanging on the wall ahead.

Lights flickered as countless Insects swarmed through the cavity.

"What is that?" Su Yang's face turned solemn.

"Be careful, don't get too close." Tiger reminded.

Su Yang fixed his gaze and saw that these Insects resembled bees somewhat.

But their tails were unusually huge, several times the size of the upper body!

It looked terribly mismatched.

At the same time, the wing beats made no sound at all.

The silence was frightening.

Such a biologically illogical sight made both of them instinctively halt.

"Bee Hive, Insect, Incubator?" Su Yang linked the three, a vague suspicion forming in his mind.

"Bee Hives like this… there's more than one!" Tiger pointed a finger.

He saw that the deeper walls of the Laboratory were covered with mechanical Bee Hives of the same size.

They were numerous, shrouded in black shadows.

Seeing this, Su Yang suddenly looked around.

He stared at the various Machines and the Control Console, a flash of insight, "This isn't a Laboratory!"

"What?" Tiger turned his head toward Demon.

Su Yang slowly stepped back two paces, mentally mapping the observed items onto a planar diagram.

After a while, he spoke in a deep voice, "This place itself is a massive Incubator!"

"You mean…" Tiger's eyebrows knit.

"Exactly, every Machine we see is meant to keep the Bee Hive stable and operating normally."

"The surrounding pipes of all sizes are not a fire system but regulators that maintain temperature and humidity balance."

"We were wrong. This place wasn't specifically built for experiments."

It's actually a breeding ground for insects!" Su Yang said aloud. 【63 Upon hearing this, Tiger scrutinized carefully, her gaze growing heavier and heavier the longer she looked. 【64】 Because she realized that reality seemed no different from what Su Yang had said. 【65】 Out of a space the size of two football fields, only one-tenth of the area was filled with machines. 【66】 The remaining ninety percent was entirely composed of beehives! 【67】 Moreover, during that time, no trace of anyone was seen. 【68】 In other words, Stone Cliff Plateau's base was not a place for cultivating gene-modified soldiers. 【69】 Rather, it was a base for raising bugs! 【71】 "What's the purpose of these bugs?" Tiger asked in confusion. 【72】 "Their habits should be similar to bees, and bees' instincts are to gather nectar and reproduce the next generation… Su Yang spoke slowly. 【73】 The moment his voice fell, they saw an insect the size of a normal fingertip fly past Su Yang's side. 【74】 Tracking it with their eyes for a moment, they watched as the insect landed on a stone. 【75】 The stone was very ordinary, identical to the products from the quarry outside. 【76】 Immediately afterward, the insect opened its mouth and began gnawing directly on it. 【77】 "Crunch, crunch—" 【78】?? 【79 Su Yang was stunned on the spot. However, that wasn't the end of it; after finishing its meal, the insect's rear end immediately swelled up by a large margin. 【81】 Then it slowly wobbled back and forth as it flew back to the nest. 【82 Seeing this, Su Yang felt as if his entire worldview had been overturned. 【83】 "Did I see that right? Insects eating rocks?" 【84】 "This… Tiger also found it utterly absurd. 【85】 It simply couldn't be explained by common sense. She thought for a moment, then said thoughtfully, " Bees gather nectar to produce honey, so what about eating stones…" 【87】 Before she could finish speaking, the insect voluntarily gave them the answer. 【88】 "Bzzz—" 【89 As a piercing whistle-like sound rang out inside the laboratory, countless insects instantly flew out from the hive, scrambling frantically toward the two of them. 【91】 Seeing this, Su immediately crouched down to dodge He looked up at the endless stream of black shadows sweeping overhead, utterly horrified in his heart"What's going on? Tiger brushed aside the hair on her forehead, her gaze fixed intently on where they were headed They watched as the insects gathered above the pool, uniformly surrounding its four corners When the whistle-like sound rang out again, a fleshy-colored organ protruded from the rear of each insect Then, with a continuous patter of liquid streams pouring down into the pool After finishing their discharge, their swollen rear ends instantly shrank back down The insects that had completed their task calmly went to the pile of stones and continued gnawing on them Then they methodically returned to the hive… Afterward, the next batch of insects continued forming a square around the pool, pouring transparent liquid into it This process lasted for a long time. Su Yang and Tiger simply stood watching silently for ten minutes Both were dumbstruck, like wooden chickens"I feel like I've been tricked somehow Tiger said abruptly Su Yang's mouth was slightly open, but his mind kept replaying the sweetness from just now Suddenly, an indescribable feeling surged within him He tried desperately to find something to console himself with But… That organ shouldn't be used for urinating, right?" Su Yang's scalp tingled with dread"I think probably not Tiger replied woodenly They turned their heads toward each other in a wordless, mutual understanding. The next moment, they immediately turned away— "Ugh!!"

Tiger listened and examined carefully, the more she looked the more her expression grew solemn.

Because she discovered that the facts seemed to be exactly the same as what Su Yang said.

In a space the size of two football fields, only one‑tenth of the area consists of Machine.

The remaining ninety percent is all Bee Hive!

And during that time no human silhouettes were seen.

In other words, Stone Cliff Plateau is not a site for cultivating Gene Modification warriors.

But rather…

A base for raising insects!

"What is the purpose of these insects?" Tiger asked, puzzled.

"Their habits should be similar to bees, and a bee's instinct is to collect nectar and breed the next generation..." Su Yang said in a calm voice.

As soon as the words finished, a normal‑sized insect about the size of a finger flew past Su Yang.

His gaze followed for a moment, and the insect landed on a Stone.

The Stone was ordinary, identical to the products from the Quarry outside.

Immediately the insect opened its Mouth and began gnawing.

"Creak—"

??

Su Yang was stunned on the spot.

But that wasn't the end; after it finished eating, the insect's tail instantly expanded into a large circle.

Then it drifted back to the Nest, swaying slowly left and right.

Seeing this, Su Yang felt his entire worldview had been refreshed.

"I didn't see that wrong, did I? The insect eats Stone?"

"This..." Tiger also found it absurd.

Common logic cannot explain it at all.

She thought for a moment, then mused, "Bees collect nectar to produce honey, but eating Stone..."

Before she could finish, the insect voluntarily gave an answer.

"Beep—"

A shrill whistle sounded in the Laboratory.

Countless insects instantly flew out of the Nest, rushing toward the two of them.

Su Yang immediately crouched to dodge.

He looked up at the countless Black Shadows sweeping over his head, feeling a myriad of horror.

"What's happening?"

Tiger brushed the fringe on her forehead and fixed her gaze on their direction.

The insects gathered above the pool, encircling the four corners in perfect alignment.

When the whistle sounded again.

The insects' tails each extended a flesh‑colored Organ.

Immediately after…

"Drip—"

Streams of water poured down, filling the pool.

After the release finished, the swollen tails instantly withered.

Having completed the Task, the insects methodically returned to the Stone pile and continued gnawing.

Then, in order, they returned to the Nest…

Next, another batch of insects formed a square again, directing transparent Liquid into the pool.

This process continued for a long time.

Su Yang and Tiger quietly watched for ten minutes.

The two were dumb as wooden chickens.

"Why do I feel like I'm being set up?" Tiger suddenly asked.

Su Yang's mouth was slightly open, but his mind lingered on the sweet aftertaste.

A vague, indescribable feeling suddenly surged in his heart.

He tried hard to find some supply to comfort himself mentally.

But…

"That Organ... shouldn't be for urinating, right?" Su Yang's scalp tingled.

"I don't think so," Tiger said with a wooden expression.

The two turned their heads in unspoken accord, staring at each other.

The next moment they instantly turned their backs—

"Ugh!!"
