Chapter 230: 230

As they watched the convoy coming closer, everyone became rather stirred up .

The helicopter quickly approached and hovered over their heads . The fierce wind pressure made them unable to even lift their heads .

The other party’s armored car and trucks finally stopped before them . The helicopter finally landed as well and a man with slicked-back hair and gold-rimmed glasses got off the helicopter .

This was Qian Wenhuan from Mainland China, the general manager of Blacklight Biotechnology!

Brad had seen this Chinese man on TV many times . Rather, one could say that the chances of seeing this person on TV were greater than the chances of seeing the president of this country .

Brad felt a faint shock in his heart . He could not imagine that these felons were all being transported to Blacklight Biotechnology . Still, what did they want these prisoners for?

The words “human testing” suddenly came to his mind for some reason .

He almost forgot that Blacklight Biotechnology was a biological company . Since it was a biological company, their intentions with the felons were almost apparent…

“Mr . Qian . ”

Brad’s captain got off the truck and shook hands with the other man . “All the goods you asked for are here . ”

“Good . Ask them to come down . ”

Qian Wenhuan took out two cigars and handed one to the captain . A subordinate stepped forward from one side to light both cigars .

The captain gestured to the two trucks and Brad came back to his senses . He intuitively jumped off the truck, pulled the barrier down, and pointed his rifle at the group of prisoners . “Everyone, get off!”

At this command, the group of felons leaped off the truck one by one in a listless manner .

A dozen heavily armed soldiers got out of the armored vehicles owned by Blacklight Biotechnology and escorted the group of felons to Blacklight’s own trucks .

“Mr . Qian, there are fifty of them . No issues . ”

After a while, a soldier walked up to Qian Wenhuan and whispered .

“Great . ”

With that, Qian Wenhuan clapped his hands and another soldier came over with a hefty suitcase and offered it to the captain .

The captain broke out into a giddy smile and took the suitcase .

“If you’re not reassured, you can count it yourself,” Qian Wenhuan said .

“No need for that . Even if I don’t trust anyone else, I can’t possibly doubt Mr . Qian . ”

The captain quickly waved one hand .

“In that case, please send my regards to your boss . ”

At this point, the general manager of Blacklight Biotechnology suddenly took out a thick envelope from his pocket and handed it to the captain . “This is for you and your men behind you . ”

“Thank you, Mr . Qian . ”

The captain’s eyes lit up and he accepted it unabashedly . “In that case, we’ll take our leave . ”

“Safe travels . ”

After both sides bade farewell, Brad climbed back onto the truck in accordance with the captain’s command . After that, they made their way back in a dazed manner .

Qian Wenhuan watched that group of people gradually departing before he turned around and waved one hand . The armored vehicles and the escorted trucks began to turn around and drove in the direction from which they came .

Soon, the convoy here had traveled back to Eco Science City . The two armored vehicles turned off in another direction while the trucks went into a huge warehouse .

After this came the standard process to enter the Spire Experimental Base .

After half an hour, all the fifty felons had been sent to the Spire Experimental Base and detained there .

“Sir Godfather, the ‘Delta-level experiment subjects’ purchased from the Namibian government are already in place . Shall we initiate the application for clearance that will allow the experiment subjects to participate in the Spire’s various experiments?”

“Initiate . ”

Inside the Spire’s laboratory, Chen Chen suddenly heard the voice of Little X coming from the Bluetooth headset . He nodded in agreement, then looked at the life incubator in front of him .

Unlike the usual life incubators for clones, the life incubators in this row had a size that was far beyond that of ordinary people . With a diameter of 1 . 5 meters and a height of 3 meters, they were twice the size of ordinary life incubators .

What was even more astounding was that, in each incubator, a large figure was suspended in a fetal position . The frame of these figures surpassed normal people by far . Not only were their bodies packed with muscle but they were also more than two meters tall .

“Boss, as you can see, this is what a fertilized egg, which was injected with T-virus, looks like after two and a half months of development . ”

Hannibal looked amazed . “This virus named Tyrant does have a very high metabolic rate . When a fertilized egg is injected with the virus and subjected to our hormone regulation technology, the cultivation time is greatly shortened .

“Initially, our hormone regulation technology allowed clones to grow from a fertilized egg to an adult lifeform in half a year . Now, the injection of T-virus can further speed this up by three months . The only drawback is that the newly generated clones would look like this…”

When Chen Chen heard this, he walked to one of the life incubators and peered inward through the turbid liquid, but could not see anything clearly .

“Turn on the observation light!” Before Chen Chen had to say anything, Li Lei gave the command .

Suddenly, as the light was turned on inside the once-murky liquid of the life incubator, the huge shadowy figure within was fully revealed .

Unlike the cloned humans who were dark-skinned people, the fertilized egg injected with the T-virus had developed into a monster with pale skin .

This monster had a high nose bridge, lips that were white and bloodless, and not a single hair on its smooth bare body .

In addition, there was a very obvious element, namely, the heart of this huge humanoid monster was exposed .

From Chen Chen’s perspective, he could see the monster’s heart furiously beating, “thump thump”, before his eyes . He could even hear the sound when he got closer . He was aware that they were separated by the thickness of a layer of tempered glass . Even so, he could hear it so clearly . This showed how vigorous the heartbeat was .

“What is his blood pressure?” Chen Chen suddenly turned and asked .

“Systolic pressure 480mmHg, diastolic pressure 400mmHg . ”

Hannibal replied, “It’s about four times that of a human being . But he has not yet grown to a mature stage, so his blood pressure should rise as his size increases . ”

Li Lei also added . “At present, it seems that this big guy can grow to at least three meters in height . ”

“Too much height isn’t great . ”

Chen Chen frowned . “Size may be an advantage in the era of cold weapons but our goal now is to build a special forces unit . If they grow too tall, they would only become a target . ”

“Got it . This is the first batch of T-virus Black Knights in our experiment, so after this, we’ll try to solve this problem through genetic debugging . ”

Li Lei said apologetically .

“It’s fine . I’m just saying what I think . I’m not blaming you guys . ”

Chen Chen waved his hand, turned away, and walked out of the laboratory .

Presently, it seemed that the Black Knights optimized by the T-virus were still in the initial research stage, but Chen Chen was taken aback by the fact that the T-virus could accelerate the growth of biological tissues . The incubation period was shortened from half a year to three months, which meant that the cultivation period for Black Knights was further reduced by half .

In this case, sooner or later, Chen Chen would have a Black Knight army that could single-handedly crush the world…
