Chapter 328: Chapter 54: The Mountain Rain is Coming
Great Demon Lake.
In the tent, the movie screening had already progressed to the middle part; some correspondences among people from the major clocks, the arbitrary control of research direction for the Genetic Potion, and the unimaginable special abilities secretly demonstrated by some obscure researchers, were all laid bare in the open.
The atmosphere subtly shifted.
“Commander Liang, no offense intended, but our world is filled with severe cold and radiation, clean water and food are extremely scarce, and the wilderness is littered with the dead bodies of those who starved and the gradually rotting refugees who are neither human nor ghost. If, and I only say if, all the cruel conditions we face were merely the result of a few, or perhaps a dozen people, for their own personal gain, meticulously planning and driving this outcome.”
Ramu Jue pondered his words, “Would you feel angry?”
Liang Zhengyong remained silent, while Qiao Xing appeared contemplative. Regardless of whether Ramu Jue’s words were true or false, the evidence he presented was coherent, making it difficult to fabricate on the spot. If the late Director Su Ling really had such a dark history, it would be a devastating blow to the lofty status of today’s major clock research institute.
Ramu Jue showed a nostalgic look, not caring about Liang Zhengyong’s response, he continued on his own, “My father was a Soviet Ukrainian, and my mother was Tibetan. The children around me took pride in the battlefield and were always educated to be ready to sacrifice everything for the glory of the nation. Whenever enemy planes bombed us, the adults would hurriedly hide in the air-raid shelters, while we few children, wearing pale clothes and wristbands with numbers, looked up at the sky, hoping that one day we could be like the Soviet pilots in those Yaks, defeating the enemy and winning medals. Those unwilling to pick up guns were seen as cowards. Everything for victory and glory. To tell the truth, that was the happiest time of my life.”
He paused, “What I can’t tolerate is conspiracies making these sacrifices meaningless, even ridiculous. When I think back on these things, I can imagine the perpetrators laughing behind our backs at our foolish expressions.”
His words stirred a din.
After a while, Liang Zhengyong finally spoke, “What I see now is just your baseless accusations and guesses about a deceased great man. Even if some of your evidence is real, the dead are gone, and there is no value or necessity to delve deeper. As the birthplace of the Genetically Modified Agents, it’s possible for their researchers to possess some unseen abilities from the agents.”
Although he said this, his expression was visibly stiff. Ramu Jue’s actions concerning Shuishu Park, which he once believed were acts of terrorism by zealots, were of no concern to him since they pertained to the major clock research institute and had little to do with himself, so he ignored them. But now, it seemed impossible to continue ignoring.
“Su Ling is definitely not dead! Inside the Black Star armored vehicle, it’s impossible to be completely ignorant of the secrets of the major clock research institute. Commander Liang, you’re a member of the Supreme Operations Committee, do you believe what you just said?”
Ramu Jue shook his head, “As for the next part, the movie originally used a demonstration, but since you won’t believe it if you don’t see it with your own eyes, I’ve brought the living evidence myself.”
He emphasized the words “living evidence.” Then he pressed the pause button on the remote, took out a cryo-preserved blood sample, and handed a thick stack of report files to Liang Zhengyong.
“I once ambushed a researcher involved with Shuishu Park. And guess what? I couldn’t find any traces of this man’s birth or activities. It was as if he appeared out of thin air. Of course, with the chaos of winter, it’s not surprising to not find anything, but what’s important is this person’s gene report. This was done by Dr. Yakov, but of course, you wouldn’t trust it, so, do you have a live culture tank with your troops? Just look at its effect to know.”
“It takes three days to get data from the culture tank, and that’s with a complete limb; a blood sample? The results won’t come out even in a month.”
Liang Wei said with a smirk.
“It won’t take that long, you just need to throw this blood sample into the culture tank, and instantly you’ll see the effect. The living effect.”

Ramu Jue replied.
Liang Zhengyong raised his hand, “Do as he says.”
It wasn’t long before a transparent culture tank was brought in. An operator picked up the blood sample, which required high precision for such a test, and pre-treatment before being placed in the culture tank, otherwise, it would be useless. Against all expectations, Ramu Jue didn’t bother with this and directly broke the blood sample open, throwing it into the tank.
“Start it.”
Ramu Jue said to the operator.
The operator pressed the button. Inside the culture tank were the raw solutions of genetically modified agents intended for parts of limbs to simulate and test the activation process of the agents. By the operator’s nearly ten years of professional expertise, Ramu Jue was being reckless and wasteful, and surely nothing would happen.
However, within a mere ten or so seconds, the light red blood sample abruptly turned pitch black, and soon after, a stream of bubbles gurgled to the surface, and the glass of the cultivation tank suddenly cracked.
“Hmm?”
Someone instinctively drew closer to observe the bubbles and, within them, a black mass of flesh emerged, rapidly expanding and developing into a torso, limbs. Finally, two heads sprouted out, black hair moving as it grew, and two pale pupils stared out wide open. Though they were only the size of a ruler, they exuded a fierce and savage aura.
Zheng!
At the summit of Gaodi Mountain, named Ping Feng Mountain, there exists a deity whose form is like a man with two heads, named Zheng, who actually dwells in a haven of honey. When worshiping it, use a rooster, purify but do not kill it.

Bang!
The vessel exploded with a crash, and the Zheng creature suddenly leapt out, less than a meter from the face of the nearest soldier, then exploded into a cloud of black flesh and blood. Even with the resilience of a Black Star soldier, he couldn’t help but take a few steps back, turning pale.
Ramu Jue withdrew his gun muzzle. At this moment, no one paid attention to the fact that he had hidden a handgun on his person, as all were staring incredulously at the black chunks of flesh still wriggling on the ground.
“What the hell is this thing!”
Someone couldn’t help but scream out loud.
“In my view, this is a treasure no less valuable than the highest fifth order, but, this treasure itself has already all but vanished; with these few traces, nothing can be researched.”
Ramu Jue cleared his throat, “We tested his corpse, and Dr. Yakov’s conclusion is that this so-called researcher had not injected any kind of Genetic Potion, yet there was a peculiar chemical reaction in his blood and bones. When he resisted us, he exhibited strength akin to that of a powerful soldier type who had taken multiple special third-order drugs, especially his extraordinary physical constitution. A large part of this terrifying constitution comes from that chemical reaction. Yakov confirmed that this chemical reaction has nothing to do with genetic abilities.”
Liang Zhengyong’s voice grew much louder, “Finish what you have to say.”
He flipped quickly through the documents in his hand, his expression growing graver by the moment.
“Through experiments, we repeatedly tested the chemical reaction residuals on the corpse, despite hitting walls on the majority of fronts, but we still made some gains. This chemical reaction itself can be catalyzed through external conditions. We tried well over ten thousand conditions, concluding in the end that Genetically Modified Agents are the best catalysts for this chemical reaction. Simply put, if an ordinary person gains an ability of one by taking a high-order, fourth-order drug, a person with this chemical reaction would exhibit at least twice and at most ten times the efficacy when taking it!”
As he spoke, everyone present recalled what Ramu Jue had said before, and the atmosphere grew heavy.
“You have no evidence to prove that these peculiar people have an inevitable causal connection with the event that caused the Winter Apocalypse, even if they are both related to the Great Bell Research Institute it’s not enough.”
Qiao Xing spoke slowly, enunciating each word.
Ramu Jue nodded his head, snapping his fingers, “Right, speaking of which, I can guarantee none of the top echelons of the three great powers have ever personally witnessed the opening event of Shuishu Park, have they? Let’s continue watching.”
He pressed a button.
The movie frame switched, and the screen showed someone’s first-person view as they entered a dazzling golden hall. A few steps in, someone in the hall greeted the camera.
“Long time no see, Taishuai.”
