Chapter 179: Venting

The final inspection procedure was completed. The staff members in charge took out ten cups filled with Fierce Beast blood from the refrigerated cabinet. A small picture and the name of a Fierce Beast were pasted on each cup.

The selection of Fierce Beast Genes was random. When it was your turn, you would draw a number, and then you would use the Fierce Beast Gene corresponding to that number. Moreover, there was no choice regarding the level; it was completely random. This meant that while the transformation was successful, one also needed a little bit of luck to possibly obtain the currently available highest Level Four Fierce Beast Gene.

Zhou Liming stood beside them, silently watching all this proceeding in an orderly manner. He feared that these excited people still did not know that among them, only one would be able to leave here with a smile.

The Fierce Beast blood in the cups was already the essence concentrated through various methods. Although the effect was not as good as the Fierce Beast Gene directly extracted from the Grand Rear, it was still considered a kind of progress. After concentration, the purity of the Fierce Beast Gene would increase to some extent, and the success rate of the transformation would also be somewhat higher. However, this increase was not obvious. The aspect Bin Tianhua was currently working hard on was purifying the Fierce Beast Gene.

Since it was not the Fierce Beast Gene, using the injection method was somewhat unfeasible.

The ten people who received the Fierce Beast blood all drank it down in turn. Then, under the command of the staff, they lay down on the beds and were fixed with locks. The absorption by the stomach needed some time. Whether it could succeed or not could be known in just three hours.

Looking at the ten people lying on the beds, everyone was silent. Bin Tianhua, as the person in charge here, had seen too much life and death, so his expression was calm. The staff here wore masks, and their eyes showed no emotion, even appearing somewhat cold. Having worked here for a long time, they were the people closest to these Super Warriors, and they had long since become numb.

Only Zhou Liming showed some nervousness on his face, staring at these people, and unknowingly, he clenched his fists.

Now Zhou Liming somewhat regretted why he hadn’t rushed in and snatched a copy of their data back at the National Biological Research Institute, leaving himself so passive now. Being able to double the success rate meant not just reducing the number of deaths by half, but also meant that the number of Super Warriors would increase faster.

The seventh Beast Tide was approaching, and the number of Super Warriors even determined whether the city could be preserved.

The reason Zhou Liming came to observe the Super Warrior manufacturing center was to confirm how many Super Warriors this place could provide in the shortest time. But obviously, Zhou Liming was disappointed. The situation in Xiyang City was worse than imagined. With a shortage of soldiers and generals, hoping that this place could transform more Super Warriors was impossible to achieve in a short time.

In a city of hundreds of thousands, excluding the nearly twenty Super Warriors killed by the Ice Demon Beast, the number actually available to guard the city was less than two hundred.

What could Third and Fourth Stage Super Warriors do? Their role was actually very limited because their Form Skills were generally single-target skills, and a few possessed small-range attack capabilities. Facing a Beast Tide of unknown scale, there was no way to count on them.

The group just stood there silently. Ten-plus minutes later, someone started to have a reaction. First, they felt a slight stomach pain, and then this pain became more and more intense, as if their stomach was cramping.

Those who could be selected were all people with strong willpower and strong bodies. Although this pain was very intense, these people still gritted their teeth and did not make a sound. But as this pain flowed with the blood and spread throughout the body, finally, someone could not endure it anymore and let out a roar, struggling desperately.

The locks tightly fastened their hands and feet, making them struggle wildly but unable to move.

A moment later, their veins bulged out, their faces became hideous, and some even bit through their lips, letting blood seep out. The excessive struggle made the areas where their hands and feet were locked bloody. Their eyes almost popped out due to the intense struggle, and under the congestion, they were blood red.

From the performance of these people, it could be seen that the pain produced when the Fierce Beast Gene took effect was almost exceeding their endurance limit.

Finally… some people with weaker willpower roared: “Let me go, let me go, I don’t want to be a Super Warrior, let me go. Ah… it hurts to death, let me go…” Their faces suddenly became incredibly pale, and then turned a dark green color. Bean-sized beads of sweat seeped from their foreheads. In a few minutes, their whole bodies looked as if they had been fished out of water.

Bin Tianhua looked at the time; only half an hour had passed. They still needed to endure another half hour of torment, and then the result would come out.

Cells were being invaded, constantly rupturing and recombining. Zhou Liming had experienced the pain of this process; at that time, he had almost died. People who had not experienced it could never know how great the pain was. People with weak willpower would even collapse directly. Perhaps the hideous appearance he had back then was even worse than theirs.

Among the ten people, in just half an hour, someone seemed unable to hold on. Their minds began to become unclear, they struggled more and more fiercely, and their whole faces seemed to be twisting.

Bin Tianhua whispered beside Zhou Liming: “Chief, this one… I’m afraid he is not going to make it.”

Once they could not bear it, the divided cells would not combine. The excessively fast division would turn the whole person into a puddle of rotten flesh mud. The scene was absolutely terrifying and disgusting. It was the cruelest scene in the Super Warrior transformation.

Zhou Liming glanced at the other person, feeling somewhat guilty in his heart. Seeing his bloody hands and feet, almost tearing his wrists off, it was visible that this pain far exceeded his endurance. The bulging veins looked like centipedes crawling on his body, hideous and terrible.

Seeing the other person’s teeth almost cracking from biting, Zhou Liming seemed to grasp something. He always felt that this method had some shortcomings.

Seeing this struggling person, whose nose began to seep traces of blood water, whose skin pores enlarged and turned red, and whose blood vessels might burst, Zhou Liming finally caught the feeling that had flashed by just now. He did not think much at all. With a Flash Shift, he appeared in front of this person, turned his head and roared: “Room, where is an empty room?”

Including Chen Yunian, no one could imagine what Zhou Liming wanted to do until Zhou Liming roared again, and then they reacted.

Bin Tianhua hurriedly pointed to a room nearby and said: “That… that one is empty.” He could not think what madness Zhou Liming was up to. Did he have a way to save this person who was already a quasi-failure in their eyes?

Zhou Liming did not explain either. He grabbed the iron bed, lifted it up over his head with one hand, and then with a jump, he appeared in front of this room. Without the slightest pause, he lifted his foot and kicked the door open, threw the bed in, and then stuck his whole body close in a few steps. His hands grabbed the locks welded from steel, and with a forceful twist, he forcibly broke the steel.

This person, whose hands and feet were released, acted like a madman, roaring and shouting in the room. Ignoring his bloody hands and feet, he grabbed the iron bed from just now, actually swung it up, and fiercely smashed it against the wall. His whole person turned into a monster. Even Zhou Liming became the target of his attack, his hands constantly grabbing towards Zhou Liming.

Whenever he got close, Zhou Liming directly kicked him flying again, smashing him fiercely against the wall, without a trace of pity.

With several consecutive kicks, given Zhou Liming’s strength, this person soon could not get up, vomiting blood from his mouth.

Zhou Liming walked out of the room, then closed the door. A moment later, roaring sounds came from inside again, along with the sound of someone constantly tormenting the iron bed.

“Chief…” Bin Tianhua saw Zhou Liming tidying his clothes and could not help but be curious about Zhou Liming’s action just now. He seemed to have realized something too. Zhou Liming just nodded, pointed at the nine people who were still struggling, and said: “Place them in the rooms, then open their locks, and let them vent this pain.”

Bin Tianhua did not ask more and immediately commanded the staff members. Soon, they pushed the nine people away. Fortunately, the basement was large, and there were plenty of rooms. Anyway, the things in these rooms had no utilization value and did not need to be moved out. They stuffed these people who had fallen into madness into the rooms and let them torment however they wanted.

These people who had their locks removed, under the intense pain that they could not endure, naturally needed things to vent. Only in this way could they reduce some of the physical load caused by the division.

“You may not know, I am also a person who naturally possessed a Fierce Beast Gene. When I obtained the Fierce Beast Gene, I also fell into endless pain like them. When I could not endure it, I had only one thought, which was to vent. Relying on superior willpower and this way of venting, I finally pulled through.” Zhou Liming slowly explained the reason why he did this, and said: “So seeing their appearance, I thought maybe letting them vent might make them feel a little better.”

Bin Tianhua just thought for a moment and then understood. He clapped his hands and laughed: “It is just like a headache. We always hold our heads, or toss and turn, looking for a posture that reduces our pain. During the transformation process, once the pain exceeds a person’s endurance, people with weak willpower will subconsciously give up. Once they give up, failure is obvious.”

With the explanation from the two, Chen Yunian, who was following them, also understood and said: “So that is it. Being tied hand and foot actually makes people feel more pain.”

Once they figured out this key point, for Bin Tianhua, it was truly like finding a huge treasure. He kept repeating: “Why didn’t I think of this key trick? As long as the pain during transformation is reduced, and willpower is strengthened, the success rate will naturally become greater.” The more he thought about it, the happier he became, and he actually started dancing with joy.
