Apocalypse: I Build A Doomsday Train-Chapter 473 - 276: Assault Before Dawn (10,000 Explosive!)

Ding Junyi furrowed his brows, "Is someone injured?"

"They say three people are injured, Professor Guo has been sent to the medical cabin and managed to save his life," Wei Kexue said as he removed his black-framed glasses and wiped them while walking. "Currently, the pressure from the monster wave on the front line is very high. The command center is concerned that it might be a riot from some Abnormal Body group, so they are very focused on the experiment we are conducting now, wanting to know if there is any special situation."

"If it’s only the Dark Mark, given the current situation, there shouldn’t be a possibility of a high-level mark appearing, otherwise it wouldn’t have been this calm these past two days."

While walking, Ding Junyi said, "But the command center wants to extract other information from such marks; currently, there are no signs at all."

"But it’s very strange."

Wei Kexue said, "From the dozens of Snow Demon experimental bodies captured on the front line, we’ve conducted so many groups of control experiments, why is there absolutely no presentation of the experimental parameters from Professor Ding’s previous tests, and No. 13 experiment body went berserk this time for no reason. Could it be related to the environment?"

"This is also what makes me most confused."

Ding Junyi’s expression turned stern, and the two quickly walked to an adjacent building, pushed open a room door, and it was already crowded with people inside, some standing, some sitting on the ground— all were research team and Emperor Group members. Medical staff from the Phoenix Society were bandaging and cleaning the wounds of several injured personnel. Guo Sicheng was lying on a temporary bed, with his cold-proof clothing tattered and stained with blood, looking somewhat agitated.

Besides, a few soldiers from the Investigation Corps were present, and a burly military man stood aside. Upon seeing Ding Junyi and Wei Kexue walk in, he turned around and gave a salute.

"Captain He, how’s it going?"

He Zhen, the head of the Seventh Investigation Corps, had a square face with brows perpetually knitted together, giving an unapproachable appearance.

But those familiar with him knew that Captain He was usually quite amiable to his subordinates and to other brother departments, but on the battlefield, he was a man of decisive action.

"Alas, I couldn’t stop him, his head almost got blown open, and still, he wants to rush to the lab," He Zhen looked to his deputy beside him, "Xiao He, explain the situation."

"Yes."

Xiao He, a young soldier, immediately reported to Wei Kexue and Ding Junyi, "Professor Guo and Group Leader Yu were preparing to conduct electrical stimulation on the No. 13 experiment body to test the release reaction of the Dark Mark. As a result, that monster suddenly went berserk, biting off limbs to break free and attacked the experiment personnel, luckily, we arrived in time."

"Bit off limbs?" Ding Junyi frowned upon hearing this and then looked towards the other injured researchers, "It’s not the first time conducting electrical stimulation, why did this happen, could something have been overlooked?" freēnovelkiss.com

The grey-headed, bewildered old men looked at each other and shook their heads, saying

"The standards are all the same."

"The voltage of the electric shock hasn’t changed..."

"Yes!" At this moment, Professor Guo, lying on the hospital bed, struggled to sit up, Wei Kexue quickly went to support him, "Teacher, what’s going on?"

Professor Guo adjusted his half-broken glasses, speaking urgently, "Because there was no reaction from the receptor, I discussed with Professor Zhang about changing the test distance, and as a result, no matter how we stimulated the creature, there was no change. But when we moved the Disaster Plant closer, an accident suddenly occurred, so I suspect that creature has a special sense with the Disaster Plant."

"Professor Guo, don’t get excited, the internal bleeding hasn’t completely healed yet," the medical staff beside him pressed him down urgently.

"Teacher!" Wei Kexue immediately got Guo Sicheng to lie down, "Listen to the doctor, don’t move."

"But... it’s very strange, while the No. 13 experiment body went berserk, the other dozen or so also almost simultaneously showed signs of frenzy, though they were all contained in isolation cabins, preventing escape. But those are very far apart." The one Professor Guo referred to as Professor Zhang was a balding middle-aged researcher who looked haggard and was also wounded in the attack, appearing quite miserable.

Ding Junyi’s expression turned grave; she suddenly recalled earlier in Rain Town when the pseudo-person that infiltrated the train intended to attack team members, but because of the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, she narrowly escaped. At that time, she noticed the special reaction of the Abnormal Body towards the Disaster Plant.

Looking around at the disheveled researchers in the room, her heart sank. She had initially thought that the research collaboration with the Phoenix Society would go very smoothly, especially since she had derived the results to the final step earlier.

Moreover, Wei Kexue and Yu Yuheng had already designed the calculation formula utilizing her experimental parameters, just needing to backtrack the reaction using the Hell Black Chrysanthemum, and then capture it with a Super Pure Germanium Detector, they stood a good chance of uncovering the truth behind the Dark Mark.

Strangely, however, the Phoenix Society’s repeated use of captured Abnormal Bodies for control experiments resulted in no manifestation of the Dark Mark, and the Hell Black Chrysanthemum showed no reaction at all.

This extremely abnormal phenomenon left Ding Junyi puzzled.

He Zhen checked the time and then spoke to Ding Junyi, "Professor Ding, you mentioned needing more test subjects for group experiments. Can you provide a concrete number, I’ll immediately organize a special unit to capture them."

"Right..." Guo Sicheng, lying on the hospital bed pale-faced, weakly echoed, "I’ve thoroughly examined Professor Ding’s experimental parameters, this Snow Demon might have a minimal individual impact, indeed needing..."
