Tang Jingzhi couldn’t hide the arrogance on his face, “Let me show you my laboratory.”
Shen Changze said coldly, “I want to see Pell first.”
Tang Jingzhi smiled slightly, “Okay. I’ll take you to see her.”
That smile made Shen Changze feel uncomfortable all over. His heart was full of ominous premonition.
Tang Jingzhi led them through rows of areas with different functions and finally at the end, they came face to face with a high-level laboratory integrating the achievements of modern advanced medicine. It was filled with equipment that Shen Changze had never seen before. It looked like a scene from a science fiction movie.
As for Pell, she was lying naked on the test bed. Her limbs were tied to the bed and her eyes were closed. The body’s radio wave micro-measurement and sensing devices were attached to her whole body. There were at least 20 lines connected to her.
Shen Changze’s eyes widened in shock. He turned around and kicked Tang Jingzhi’s stomach. The speed was so fast that no one present could react in time. He roared angrily, “What did you do to her?!”
After speaking, he rushed towards Tang Jingzhi.
Suddenly, a burst of electricity was transmitted to his whole body through his wrist. Shen Changze felt as if he was struck by lightning. His body went numb and he fell straight to the ground with a plop.
Tang Jingzhi clutched his stomach. He looked like he was in so much pain. He was supported by the bodyguards to stand up. He then smiled a few times, “It’s incredible. As expected of a pure blood. The speed is extremely fast…”
Shen Changze struggled on the ground in pain and said in a trembling voice: “You don’t keep your promise. I’m going to kill you!”
A distorted smile appeared on Tang Jingzhi’s face, “I wanted to keep my promise, but this female mercenary is too perfect. She has a first-class physique, a first-class mind, and even extraordinary beauty. I saw evolution in her. She could be a female Dragon Blood Man. Any Dragon Blood Man bred by her, must be no less perfect than you.”
Shen Changze said angrily, “You are crazy!”
Tang Jingzhi finally wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth with the tissue handed over by the bodyguard, “I can’t help it. This is all so exciting. As long as I have you, I can create my own army. The most powerful and unparalleled army in the world.” A frantic light flashed in his eyes, sending chills down Shen Changze’s spine.
Shen Changze survived the pain and numbness in his body. He got up from the ground. The two people next to him immediately grabbed his arms. He glared at Tang Jingzhi fiercely, “I will abide by your agreement. But you must let Pell go.”
Tang Jingzhi shook his head, “I believe she’ll be able to evolve into a Dragon Blood Man. It is not easy to find such a female. Do you know that there are only three female Dragon Blood Men in the world now? One in the United States and two in China. Among them, one is your mother. But she is nowhere to be found.” Tang Jingzhi’s face was full of longing, “I must have a female Dragon Blood Man that belongs to me. Pell’s physical fitness is very good. I have a hunch that she has great potential. It is highly possible that she could evolve successfully.”
Shen Changze really wanted to break his neck.
Tang Jingzhi used the word ‘one’ as if he was talking about these people as experimental guinea pigs instead of human beings. Although Shen Changze has never experienced it, but from the information he got from Tang Tingzhi and House, he knows that the probability of success in human fusion of dragon blood genes is very low. Failure means that after experiencing inhuman pain, the blood vessels in the whole body will burst and the flesh will be split open. He would never let Pell go through such an experiment.
Tang Tingzhi observed Pell for a while and said softly, “Kid, calm down. She is safe for now.”
Tang Jingzhi said with a chuckle: “That’s right. I just checked her body yesterday. The check up hasn’t been completed yet. Producing a Dragon Blood Man requires complicated observation and data analysis. The preparations alone can range from three months to a year. The cost to produce one Dragon Blood Man was more than 100 million yuan more than ten years ago. But now it costs 60 to 70 million yuan on average. With such a huge financial expenditure, if it is not certain that a person’s evolutionary success rate is more than 15%, we will not act rashly. So she is still safe for the time being.”
Tang Jingzhi glanced greedily at Pell through the glass window.
That kind of look is definitely not a man’s admiration for a perfect female body. But it was the satisfaction of finding an excellent experimental body. It really makes people shudder.
Hearing that Pell was fine for the time being, Shen Changze secretly heaved a sigh of relief. The next thing he had to think about was how to get Pell and Tang Tingzhi out of here. It would be best to kill this perverted Tang Jingzhi along the way.
Tang Jingzhi was kicked by Shen Changze so his legs were a little weak when he walked. But he still insisted on not going to rest. He asked Shen Changze to be brought into the laboratory and ordered an assistant to draw out his blood.
The assistant drew ten millilitres of his blood. Tang Jingzhi looked at the dark red liquid in the test tube seriously and said, “We need to study your blood in your human form first. You need to eat some blood-enriching food and medicine tonight. Tomorrow, you will need to cooperate. You must donate at least five hundred millilitres of blood to me. Your dragon blood is as pure as ninety-six percent. I will use them well.”
Tang Tingzhi said: “Drawing so much blood at one time will exhaust him.”
Tang Jingzhi said indifferently: “I have the best nutrition team here. I will make it up to him.”
After Shen Changze was pushed into the room. He found two ring-shaped holes on the ten-centimetre-thick iron door, which were covered by iron bars.
The bodyguard outside the door pressed a button and the iron bar went up. He ordered, “Get in.”
Shen Changze stretched his hand in it which was just big enough to catch the handcuffs attached to the high-voltage electricity on his hands. With a slight click, it was loosened and the handcuffs were released and his hands were temporarily free.
He withdrew his hand and the iron bars came down.
He and Tang Tingzhi were imprisoned in two separate rooms. Neither of them knew where the other was nor did they know the current state of the other. They can’t see anything at all.
Shen Changze was lying on the bed, thinking so much of his father. What is Baba doing now? Are you also thinking about me? He wondered.
Not long after he lied down, someone opened the iron bars of the two circular holes. A tray protruded in and the man said to him, “Eat.”
Shen Changze stretched out his hand to take the tray. He measured the diameter of the circular hole with his wrist. No way. If it is too narrow, the forearm will get stuck and cannot be stretched out at all.
There were animal livers and other foods on the tray. Tang Jingzhi really wanted to replenish his blood as he had said.
Shen Changze had no appetite at all so he casually put it on the bedside table.
Tang Jingzhi’s voice suddenly sounded in the room, “Why? Is it not to your liking? I can have someone make another meal. But you have to eat it.”
Shen Changze had discovered the monitor in the corner a long time ago so he was not surprised. He picked up the tray again and buried himself in the food. It tasted okay. Enough to satisfy his hunger.
“Now you have a good rest.”
“Where is Tang Tingzhi?” Shen Changze asked.
“He’s right next to me. I’m showing him my research results. It’s really interesting that anyone cares at all about his life.”
Shen Changze didn’t reply. He instead reached out to turn off the light. He then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
Early the next morning, the men took him to the lab before he had breakfast.
Tang Tingzhi and Tang Jingzhi had already been waiting there. Although they looked similar, their temperaments were very different. At this time, one was pale and the other was excited.
Shen Changze’s limbs were all fixed to the bed. Tang Jingzhi’s tone was filled with unconcealable urgency, “Quick. Let me see what you look like as a Dragon Blood Man.”
Shen Changze didn’t talk nonsense to him. He closed his eyes and Shan Ming’s face appeared in his mind.
In fact, more than two years ago, he no longer needed to have sexual fantasies with Shan Ming to awaken the dragon’s blood. He could transform simply by his own willpower. But he had already developed the habit of imagining Shan Ming when he was about to transform.
Maybe it’s because he still can’t fully control his own state as a Dragon Blood Man. Or maybe he has always been a little scrupulous and fearful about his abilities. Only Shan Ming can make him feel at ease.
His body was getting hotter and hotter. The heat was neither painful nor stuffy. It just gave people the feeling that the whole body was about to burn. Then he heard the exclamation of the people around him. He opened his eyes and let the heat of the body press him down. The uncomfortable wings stretched out and the tail shot out from behind him.
“My God! It’s golden! It’s golden dragon scales. Exactly the same as ‘Sea Dragon’. It’s so beautiful. So amazing!” Tang Jingzhi’s reaction was similar to Tang Tingzhi’s first time seeing him transform. Except that Tang Tingzhi’s expression was way calmer. The ecstasy was only reflected in the eyes. Unlike this person, the greed of discovering the experimental product is written all over his face.
He stroked the smooth, cool scales.
Strangely, Shen Changze clearly felt his whole body was boiling with heat. But the scales were like the skin of a cold-blooded animal, giving off a chill touch to others.
Tang Jingzhi stroked him all over his body, admiring him while stroking. Shen Changze endured it for a long time before he flicked his tail to whip him. After all, being hit by a high-voltage electric shock was really uncomfortable.
Shen Changze was watched and stroked by him and his subordinates for more than an hour before they gave up and took out a large special syringe to draw blood from him.
“The pH value of your blood is very close to zero. This titanium metal needle and high-strengthened glass needle tube are specially made for your strong acidic blood. Your whole body is full of value.”
Covered by layers of dragon scales, Tang Jingzhi accurately found his blood vessel and stuck the needle in. He began to draw blood.
Tang Tingzhi reminded: “500 millilitres is too much. The blood of a Dragon Blood Man is his vitality and energy. You’re not aware of this. Even human beings have to cultivate for several days if you draw out so much at a time. It will damage his body.”
Tang Jingzhi said nonchalantly, “Okay. Then 400. The maximum amount of blood donated by ordinary humans should be that much.”
Shen Changze couldn’t figure out why he was in such a hurry to draw his blood, but considering that he would need a large amount of capital investment to maintain the operation of such a large experimental base, the production and sale of stimulants might be his biggest expense. Now his blood is urgently needed to make those expensive medicines.
At the beginning of the process of drawing his blood out, Shen Changze didn’t feel much. But when the blood in the transparent syringe increased, he began to feel dizzy and thirsty.
After 400 ml of dragon blood was pumped out of his body, Shen Changze only felt drowsy and his body became a little weak.
Tang Jingzhi also observed his reaction, “It’s okay. He will recover in two days. Now eat something and go back to rest.”
When he was put down from the test bed, Shen Changze swayed and fell to the ground. Tang Tingzhi supported him.
Shen Changze panted lightly and he couldn’t open his eyes. He slowly returned to his human appearance.
Tang Jingzhi finally got a little worried. So he put him back on the bed and checked him again. After confirming that there was nothing abnormal, he gave him a nutrient solution and let him eat something. He then asked someone to carry him back to the closed room.
After Shen Changze returned to the room, he had been lying on the bed without moving.
A few hours later, Tang Jingzhi observed Shen Changze’s abnormality through the monitor. He called for him through the microphone a few times but Shen Changze seemed to be dead without any response.
Tang Tingzhi frowned and said, “I told you earlier to not be so greedy. His body is different from that of human beings. Your understanding of the Dragon Blood Man is still too shallow. But you refuse to agree with other people’s research experience and just blindly stick to your own opinion. Sooner or later, there will be problems.”
Tang Jingzhi sternly said: “I don’t need you to teach me! Sooner or later I will prove to you that I am better than you in the field of biology!” He grabbed the walkie-talkie and shouted: “Go and see how that kid is doing. Bring him to the consulting room.”
After a while, the door of the closed room in the monitor was opened. Five to six people armed with electric batons and pistols rushed in.
At this moment, Shen Changze, who had been lying motionless on the bed, suddenly jumped up at lightning speed and kicked the person closest to him flying. He then threw himself at another bodyguard, knocking him down with a punch to the ground. Those burly men with weapons had no power to fight back in front of this immature young man. They were all knocked down one by one in an instant.
Tang Jingzhi was dumbfounded. After Shen Changze had knocked everyone down and rushed out the door, only then did he woke up like he was in a dream. He pressed the red alarm bell fiercely and a piercing alarm rang throughout the whole factory!
