Capítulo 3: Test Subject 69
"Test Subject 43 is ready to be injected with the new serum."
"Start the injection! We'll need to work fast to combat this crisis. These test subjects are precious so no mistakes can be made."
As words were being echoed around, Shi Tian slowly opened his eyes, only to find himself chained up on all four.
He struggled a bit, only to be futile as the chains tightened up as he moved around.
His upper chest was bare and only pants were kept on to cover his lower body.
'What's going on? Where am I?' Shi Tian pondered silently, glancing left and right. His surroundings were filled with some sort of large container and numerous people were chained up like him.
Suddenly, an infuriating amount of pain occurred in his head and he finally recalled what had happened.
Sheng Lan was taken away while he was knocked unconscious by some people carrying guns.
By the time he woke up, he was already here and he began to worry about Sheng Lan's safety.
'I need to get out here as soon as possible. I need to save Sheng Lan.' Shi Tian exclaimed inwardly, hoping to break off the chain on his wrist and legs.
At last, no matter how hard he tried, the chain remained immovable and his energy was slowly wearing down. He had not eaten for a long time and his stomach was growling, indicating that he should eat some food.
Without any hope of escaping, Shi Tian could only glance through the glass of the container he was in.
He could see multiple people wearing lab coats walking around, and some guards holding a rifle with fierce expressions.
Occasionally, he saw some people with the same fate as him being injected with some unknown substance and soon became lifeless, frightening him deeply.
"Hmm, seems like Test Subject 69 had awakened, professor." A person wearing a white lab coat suddenly said when they saw Shi Tian looking around.
"Wonderful, his aptitude isn't bad and is perfect for the new serum that we have just extracted from those monsters." A middle-aged man with an eyepatch to his right eye laughed heartily and said excitedly.
As Shi Tian glanced at the middle-aged man, his emotion wavered a bit, and fear began to shine in his eyes.
Although Shi Tian had never seen the middle-aged man before, there was an indescribable amount of fear that he got when seeing his face.
His breathing became rapid as he struggled even more, his instinct was practically screaming at him to leave this god-forsaken place as fast as possible.
Alas, before he could struggle anymore, an unknown substance was injected into the very container he was in.
'Why do I suddenly feel sleepy…' The moment Shi Tian inhaled the unknown substance, his body started losing function.
It was as if any strength that was in his body was being extracted slowly as he fainted again.
"Be careful of the injection milligrams. This test subject is a valuable one and we cannot afford to damage it." The professor warned and scolded the person.
"Of course, professor. Test Subject 69 was sold to us by a mercenary group and with the world outside currently in chaos, we know the urgency to keep this subject in top condition."
"As long as you know it. Besides, this test subject is lucky anyway. I heard this new serum can stop a person's aging, but that's just a rumor."
"We can always let these test subjects be experienced first, professor. If it works, then we can use it for ourselves, but if it fails, then we can just move on."
"Hahaha, very good!"
As the conversation between the two was done, Shi Tian was then injected with a new serum labeled PN420.
His body spasms a bit upon receiving the new serum, and since he was still unconscious, there was no resistance at all.
However, his face soon turned pale and an emergency alert was resounded.
"This is bad, the new serum is incompatible with Test Subject 69. Immediately cancel the operation and bring him out." The professor shouted in a hurry and commanded multiple guards.
Soon, Shi Tian was transported to a surgical operation environment where they began performing surgery.
"The new serum's iron level is poisonous and has spread across the body. Try to amputate his right arm to see if we can force the poison out."
Beep!
Beeep!
Beeeeep!
An oscilloscope waveform showed Shi Tian's blood level dropping to a dangerous level, but the poison still remained intact in his body after the amputation.
Seeing this situation, the professor decided to try another method.
"Inject the integrated chip that we got from the headquarters." The professor commanded and soon inserted a chip into the brain of Shi Tian.
A few minutes later, there was still no signal from Shi Tian as he remained lifeless on the table.
The professor sighed softly at this sight since even the amputation of the right arm and integrated chip had failed to extract the poison from Shi Tian's body.
"Test Subject 69 has failed. What a shame. Dump it to the outside world in which the pollution is no longer suitable for humans to survive. It's a waste to keep him in this laboratory." The professor said and exited the surgical room.
As commanded by the professor, two people nodded their heads and began to do as they were ordered.

The sky was dark and foreboding as the small plane flew high above the city.
Inside the cabin, two shadowy figures struggled with a large, heavy object.
With a sudden heave, they pushed it out of the open door and watched as it plummeted towards the ground below.
As the object fell, it tumbled through the air, turning end over end. It was only as it got closer to the ground that the true horror of what was happening became apparent.
The object was a human body, its limbs limp and lifeless. It hit the ground with a sickening thud, the force of the impact leaving a deep crater in the earth.
The two figures in the plane exchanged a glance before disappearing back into the darkness of the cabin.
They knew that they had just committed a heinous crime, but not an ounce of regret or hesitation could be seen on their face.
It was almost as if they had done this numerous times that it just became a normal activity to them.
