章節 25: Coffin
編輯: Henyee Translations
Luo Fan lifted the thatch that the golden-haired Rat King had crawled on and revealed what was below.
A large piece of damaged wood.
He moved the wooden block away again, and a huge hole appeared.
Luo Fan turned on the flashlight and shone it through the hole.
He saw…
One human corpse, not decomposed.
Two rat carcasses; they were pure silver in color and also not decomposed.
One notebook which had turned yellow.
A toolbox, made of iron. The lock had been damaged.
It was not difficult to tell this was more like a coffin than a treasure location.
A human coffin.
"Why is there a human coffin in the Rat Kingdom, and why is it being pressed under the golden-haired Rat King? It looks more like the golden-haired Rat King was protecting this coffin."
Luo Fan climbed in. The hole was big enough for him to get through.
He landed on the corpse, and the light illuminated the place.
"It's really a coffin."
This was a rectangular space surrounded by wood.
This corpse lay perfectly in this place, as if it had been specially prepared for him.
Luo Fan touched the corpse. It was a little soft.
"It looks like although the surface is still intact, the inside of the body has begun to rot."
This corpse was the body of an old man in his sixties. His hair had turned white, and his face was full of wrinkles.
The deceased was very peaceful.
What did this person do for a living? Currently, Luo Fan could not guess from his appearance, but his identity was definitely not simple.
If it had been an ordinary person, he would not have been placed here by the Rat King.
Then, Luo Fan looked at the two dead large silver rats.
These two rats were very large. They were even larger than the grayish-white rat which had defeated the golden-haired Rat King with Luo Fan.
It was much larger than the ordinary golden-spotted rats. The size of the ordinary silver rats outside could not compare with these two silver rats.
Luo Fan studied them for a while but still did not find anything.
He just knew that if these two silver rats were alive, their combat strength should be the strongest apart from the Rat King.
Then, Luo Fan opened the notebook.
This might very well contain important information.
Luo Fan flipped it open. On it were written human words.
"December 5"
"The experiment had progressed to the last step but failed in the end. All 103 experimental subjects died.".
"The energy in the supernatural energy crystal was too overbearing. Even after several dilutions, it still could not be integrated into the body."
"Perhaps this experiment would never succeed."
"December 9."
"The biological battle armor has already produced results, but why can't it still be applied to the body of a living being?"
"I definitely can."
...
This was an experimental notebook. Luo Fan turned several pages in a row, all of which recorded the process of his experiment.
Each time, he was about to succeed but failed.
The experiment was to incorporate supernatural energy into a creature's body.
Luo Fan took a look at the two large silver rats placed in the coffin. It seemed that the experiment had succeeded.
"March 6."
"Mutated beasts had appeared in the West. Could it be that there was already an organization which could make supernatural energy fuse with the body of a creature?"
"Why am I unable to succeed? What is missing?"
"Unrest has started in this city. Some people with ulterior motives are putting pressure on the government. Don't these bastards know the truth about interdependence?"
"March 9."
"I've confirmed it. Those bastards with ulterior motives are from the same organization as the ones who have created the mutated beasts. They want to revolt and establish a new regime."
"The city is no longer safe."
...
"April 12."
"I have succeeded. It turned out that the body of a creature could not withstand supernatural power directly. I can fuse it with a special substance and then use that substance to nurture a mutated creature."
"Among these rats, there are finally a few that succeeded."
...
"April 26."
"I have failed again. It was not as simple as I had thought."
"Only three rats have survived. One is completely golden in color, and I have named him Little Golden. The other two are completely silver. One is called Little Silver 1, and the other is called Little Silver 2."
"This is a super lifeform which I have spent all my efforts to create. I hope they can survive longer."
...
"April 28."
"The three rats, Little Golden and the Little Silvers, are very intelligent. They are more intelligent than ordinary creatures."
"Perhaps it is the effect of the supernatural energy, unlocking their intelligence."
"I have some commands which they are all now able to understand."
"And now, the three rats have grown too fast."
...
"May 25."
"The revolutionary army started a coup, and the city has become chaotic."
"The government army wants to help me to evacuate, but my biological transformation of supernatural energy is almost working."
"If I could develop a supernatural creature through biological transformation, I would be able to let all humans have superpowers, and there would not just be Little Golden, Little Silver 1 and 2, these 3 individual cases."
...
"June 1."
"I have to flee. Most of the government forces have been evacuated."
"But where should I run? I have all the results of my experiments here."
"No, I'm not leaving."
"Perhaps I can get Little Golden and the other two to help."
...
"June 4."
"I have migrated underground."
"Little Golden and the Little Silvers are really good helpers. This place tens of meters underground is enough to withstand the attack of those mutant beasts."
"This place underground originally had a large space. It was another rat territory."
"However, they had already been driven away by Little Golden. This place had also been excavated and expanded a little."
"There is no light here. In order to carry on with the research, access to the surface had to be created in some places to let light in."
...
"June 7."
"The revolutionary army's attacks are getting stronger and stronger, and it is no longer possible to stay above ground."
"I have prepared a coffin for myself and decided to live here for the rest of my life."
"Relying on Little Golden and the Little Silvers, I hope I can live here without any problems."
...
"June 1."
"The revolutionary army has occupied the ground above. Fortunately, I have prepared adequate food here, and I hope I can get through without any problems."
...
"June 13."
"The Evolution Potion has been successfully made. The formula is supernatural energy."
"However, I no longer have an experimental subject, so I used the rats that originally existed in this place."
"After many rats had died, a grayish-white rat successfully survived."
"However, the grayish-white rat had bitten me and fled. I do not know where it went."
...
"June 15."
"I found that Little Golden and Little Silvers are gradually getting bigger. It seems that creatures can slowly absorb supernatural energy in the vicinity of supernatural energy."
"Perhaps I can find another way."
...
"June 18."
"I have succeeded. Only supernatural energy in the gaseous state could be incorporated and absorbed into a creature's body."
"However, the density of the gas is still too high. I need to work out a more appropriate method."
"It turned out to be so simple."
...
"Little Golden went outside to take a look. The revolutionary army seemed to have occupied the city."
...
"June 19."
"My body had also mutated. It turned out that I had unknowingly been affected by the supernatural and had become a supernatural life form."
.....
Immediately after, there was no record for nearly a month.
"July 12."
"I seem to be getting more and more cranky. Maybe I shouldn't just be sitting in the lab."
"I have supernatural powers now. My body is more fit."
"Perhaps I should go and do something,"
"and accomplish something great underground."
...
"July 13."
"I have started to work on a cross between Little Golden and Little Silver so that Little Silver 2 could conceive Little Golden's children."
…
"July 20."
Little Silver had given birth to Little Golden's children, a group of rats with golden spots.
