Chapter 295 Exposure

Chapter 295 Exposure

A few hours later, on the second floor of a hotel in City C.

"Eat? Don't you like hot pot?"

Looking at Han Zu who was eating heartily, Gloria's expression looked a little awkward.

"Not really, although the food does smell tempting, I'm just not sure I can eat it given my now reshaped body."

"That's no problem. Infinite Company's experimental records contain complete test data on this material, and it is saved in video form. You can carry out any normal human activities, such as eating, sleeping, going to the toilet, etc. Of course, you can also choose to repair your body by absorbing energy, just find a voltage line and bite it a few times."

"Really?"

"Here, I have a video recording. You can see for yourself. And don't forget, the castrated version of this thing is used as an artificial organ. If it can't even eat, it would be too unreasonable."

While unlocking his phone and handing it to Gloria, Han Zu swallowed the food in his mouth, took out a pack of cigarettes and lit one. Since they were in a private room, smoking was not prohibited.

Gloria found the experimental video record of XIIV-969-T that Han Zu mentioned. It was indeed as Han Zu said, after the complete transformation, the experimental subjects carried out normal human activities without any impact at all, until Gloria found something that did not look like an experimental record.

After the video was clicked, a blushing and seductive voice rang out, making Gloria's eyes widen. She almost dropped her phone into the hot pot. It was not that she had never seen similar things before, but she felt that it should not appear in so many serious experimental videos.

"Is this... also part of the experiment?"

"Yeah, don't you see that there are so many researchers observing?"

"You don't mean to say that this is a study on whether a body modified by XIIV-969-T can perform sexual behavior?"

"Of course not! What's the point of researching that thing? Don't forget, there are all kinds of people in this world. There are many men who can phase charge at exhaust vents, and there are also many women who can perform star-sucking magic on repair tools. This research is aimed at whether the body reshaped by XIIV-969-T can reproduce offspring."

"What's the result?"

"completely fine."

"What?! Doesn't that mean the second generation is directly..."

"I know what you want to say, but that's impossible, because the second generation of offspring will turn back into minerals within 4 hours after birth, and this mineralization is irreversible. At the same time, the biggest difference between this mineral and the original XIIV-969-T is that this mineral has zero ability to conduct bioelectricity. Although it can also convert energy, it requires external stimulation. In short, it is equivalent to a primitive battery that is not advanced. This mineral is named XIIV-969-T-2. There are only 6 samples at present, and they are all stored in a warehouse in the Engineering Department. Use it as an emergency power source."

"Then these mothers who are experimenters must feel sad for their "children", right?"

"Your idea is correct, but in fact, there is no such problem. Not to mention that the experimenters were carefully selected, the most important thing is that the time interval from pregnancy to delivery of these special second-generation offspring is very short, less than two hours. And the shape of these second-generation offspring at birth is completely unlike that of babies. They are more like relatively soft meteorites. Therefore, ethical and emotional issues do not actually exist. What's more, in the short two hours of pregnancy, the conceived experimenters did not show any physical changes, and the delivery process was also very smooth and painless."

“This is really…”

"However, this experiment did produce a discovery that was not on the experimental list. After giving birth, the female organs of the pregnant subjects were strengthened to a certain extent. Although not as strong as those directly strengthened by XIIV-969-T, they were not much different. However, because they only strengthened the original body parts, they could not convert energy like XIIV-969-T."

Gloria returned the phone to Han Zu. Compared to the details of the experimental project that Han Zu told her, the shock of what she just saw was not that great.

"Infinite Company... seems to be even scarier than the Ferdinand family..."

"more or less."

"You don't seem to mind that."

"Of course, the development of any technology is ultimately inseparable from human experiments. Although human experiments are banned on paper, many scientific and technological achievements that have been used to benefit mankind cannot be successfully developed without clinical trials on humans. The most common example is drugs. Once you understand this, you won't be too surprised by other experimental projects."

Perhaps Gloria figured this out and stopped asking further questions about the matter. She cleared her mind and picked up the chopsticks, but she was not very skilled in using chopsticks. She tried to pick up food from the hot pot several times, but failed every time.

"Give."

However, Han Zu saw her embarrassment and helped her put a lot of food into the bowl and handed it to Gloria.

"Thanks... Wait a minute, judging from your tone just now, have you also done this kind of human experiment?!"

"Gulp...Yes, but my experimental subject is myself, and my body structure...is a little different."

"You also used XIIV-969-T to reshape your body?"

"That's not the case. XIIV-969-T is useless to me."

"Can I see your report on your own experiment?"

Gloria became curious. For some reason, she suddenly wanted to take a look at Han Zu's experimental report. At that time, there was relevant information on Han Zu's personal terminal in his secret base, but due to the authority, Gloria did not see what was written in it.

"Of course, but not now. As an 'employee', you are still on probation."

"So how can I become a regular employee?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. Let's eat first. It will get cold soon."

After answering her doubts about body reconstruction, Gloria finally started to eat. Ever since she first underwent mechanical transformation and until her body was reconstructed with XIIV-969-T, Gloria had not eaten anything for nearly two years. She had almost forgotten the taste of food, so she ate a lot, almost catching up with one-third of Han Zu's appetite (Han Zu could eat the weight of an adult about meters tall at any time).

"Looking at the way you eat, why did you choose to undergo mechanical transformation? Although similar taste signals can be produced by stimulating the cerebral cortex through specific programs and equipment, they are still fake after all, and there is always a difference between them and real food. You seem to enjoy eating."

"Cancer, stage 4, but the weird thing is, my brain is the only one that's not affected at all."

"This is not normal. Have you ever thought that it might be the Ferdinand family..."

Gloria swallowed the food in her mouth and nodded.

"Although it may not have been done by a member of the Ferdinand family, there were hundreds of people in the town where I lived who had the same disease as me. I later found out by chance that someone was conducting some kind of experiment on radioactive materials targeting the human body. Although I don't know what the specific material or equipment was, it was artificially made and would only affect parts of the body other than the brain."

"Conscripting men?"

"You can say that."

"From this point of view, Infinite Company is more humane than the Ferdinand family. After all, their experimental subjects are basically volunteers, at least in the chairman's faction."

During the conversation, Gloria suddenly froze for a moment, and the food she had just picked up fell back into the bowl.

"I think I know why I was being hunted down by the Gray Squad of the Board of Directors!"

"Is it related to this matter?"

"Right! Now that I think about it, the attack happened not long after I learned about this matter, no more than three days. But it shouldn't have happened. Their main target of silencing was the doctor who was transferred to our base. Although I investigated a lot of information that I shouldn't know, I didn't leave any traces."

"What did you say his original department was responsible for?"

"Biochemical Research... You mean, he is one of the people responsible for this matter?!"

"According to what you said, this is the only explanation that makes sense at the moment."

As the two continued their conversation, Han Zu's cell phone rang. He took out his phone and saw that it was an unknown number, but the source was the communication equipment within the Infinite Company. Han Zu gestured for Gloria to keep quiet, then answered the call and turned on the hands-free function.

"Is this Han Zu? I'm Lucy from the Information Department. We have an urgent matter and need to have a meeting with you immediately. You'd better come to the company."

"Sounds like it's related to me? Okay, I'll go to the branch right away."

"I sent you some links to news. I hope you can take a look at them on your way so that you can get a general understanding of the situation. This way, we can save the introduction step during the meeting."

"Row."

The other party's tone seemed urgent. After explaining the situation, he immediately hung up the phone. Almost at the same time, links to several news items were sent to Han Zu's mobile phone.

"Is there something important?"

"Not sure, she sent me some links to news..."

Before he finished speaking, the news that popped up when he clicked the link made Han Zu realize the seriousness of the matter.

"Infinite City is suspected of using undocumented personnel to intentionally cause the death of players."

The first news headline immediately made Han Zu understand why the Ministry of Information was so anxious to contact him.

"This silhouette of the side face looks like..."

"it's me."

Below the news title is an original screenshot from the Infinite City game video. This level of clarity is not something that outside players or news media can obtain. There is only one possibility, that is, this screenshot, including the original video from which the screenshot was taken, was leaked from within the Infinite Company.

"It seems that the Feidenan family is a little more difficult to deal with than I thought."

"Do they know you have no connection with the military?"

"That's not necessarily the case, but they probably can't confirm it completely. Although I often work in Infinite Company, my identity has always been kept secret. Otherwise, all my information would have been made public."

"You have a wide network of contacts within Infinite Company. These news were most likely spread by them. Perhaps there are henchmen of the Ferdinand family among them."

"That doesn't matter. After all, apart from the chairman, there are people who know my true identity, but no one knows my true identity completely. So even if some of them are related to the Feidenan family, what they get will not affect me."

"What about your experimental records? Didn't you say that you gave your body tissue samples to Infinity several times before?"
