Black light? No, it's red light!

Li Wei's good days ended right there. As a special individual, he required meticulous care; he could not be allowed to die, nor could he be allowed to suffer any serious health issues.

After collecting a full bottle of "genetic fluid," the blonde nurse with wavy hair never appeared again. In her place, a succession of male engineers in white coats wandered about, their expressions excited and their faces occasionally twisting into eerie smiles.

Bone marrow, gastric juice, muscle, fat, hair—every part of his body was ruthlessly scraped by these people. The demand for his flesh and blood from those wearing white coats was simply terrifying; his body had already been sliced with dozens of tiny, continuous incisions.

At least a pound of flesh had been carved off his body, which made Li Wei's expressions grow even more sparse. He began to contemplate: should he just commit suicide, or keep enduring it while waiting for a slim chance to escape?

During the process of being moved back and forth to the laboratory, he had roughly memorized the structure of the facility. But it was useless, because he had no idea whether this lab was on the surface or underground, or how many guards were stationed outside.

Moreover, Li Wei had spotted no fewer than thirty surveillance cameras alone. Under such tight security measures, trying to escape was undoubtedly a pipe dream.

Nearly half a month passed in this manner, and Li Wei finally met the person in charge of the base: a middle-aged man with brown hair, wearing a white coat over a suit, looking rather incongruous.

Raymond McMullen stood with several Blackwatch squad members behind him, looking at Li Wei with a satisfied smile as he slowly walked into the pure white room, which was filled with the smell of chemicals.

The pungent odor in the air did not seem to bother Raymond; instead, the smile on his face grew even more pronounced.

His gaze remained locked with Li Wei's, who was staring at him coldly. After a long while, he finally spoke: "Hello, I am the head of the GENTEC research base, and also the chairman of GENTEC, Raymond McMullen. You can call me Raymond!

I apologize for only coming to see you now. I've been too busy lately, but also very happy—you have brought us a miracle!"

After he finished speaking, the smile on his face was as radiant as a chrysanthemum in full bloom during summer.

Except for his face, Li Wei's body was wrapped in bandages. After adapting to this period of time, if nothing else, at least his English had improved.

"F**k you."

Li Wei simply returned a classic American profanity to the enthusiastic Raymond, giving him no pleasantries whatsoever.

Seeing no hope of escape, he simply gave up on the question of whether he could get out.

If an accident occurred at the base, any meticulous escape plan would just be nonsense.

If a heavily guarded base could be entered and exited so easily, then wouldn't the intelligence agencies of every country be like open-access shops, with people coming and going mechanically?

Li Wei was just an ordinary person who worked in sales; he didn't know how to escape from a military base with a high defense rating. This wasn't some brainless novel where anything goes regardless of logic.

If one were to apply any logic at all, it would be impossible to actually run out of this base.

Raymond heard the lovely greeting from his homeland coming from the mouth of a foreigner, and his expression immediately turned cold. But soon, the corners of his mouth curled upward again.

With his hands behind his back, he looked down at Li Wei, who was sitting on a single sofa wrapped like a mummy, his demeanor disdainful and indifferent. "Over twenty top biological scholars have successfully cultivated a new virus for your sake. Don't worry! Because this virus was cultivated using your body, we value it highly. It has succeeded, and it is perfectly compatible with your body. You will become its host! I am ninety-nine percent sure of success. The project is called the Redlight Project. Are you happy? You will make an irreplaceable contribution to the future!"

"F**k you!"

"Hmph! Take him away!" Seeing Li Wei's unyielding attitude, Raymond said no more. With a wave of his hand, the tall and sturdy Blackwatch squad members behind him stepped forward quickly, roughly dragging Li Wei up and bringing him along behind Raymond.

Li Wei felt that there were some things that, if not done now, might never have a chance again!

Watching Raymond's back, he suddenly erupted, broke free from the restraint of the two big men beside him, and kicked Raymond right in the buttocks.

Raymond had not expected anyone to kick his rear; he was sent stumbling forward two steps by Li Wei's sudden strike, falling face-first onto the ground and making intimate contact with the floor.

Seeing his plan succeed, Li Wei burst into loud laughter, but he was immediately met with a heavy, powerful punch to the stomach. Several wounds on his body that hadn't fully healed tore open instantly, and the white bandages wrapped around him began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Pfft! Hahahaha!"

The disheveled Raymond, having scrambled up, could no longer maintain the indifference he had been deliberately projecting. He covered his bleeding nose and moved several steps away from Li Wei, his expression indescribably furious.

One hand covered his mouth and nose while the other pointed at Li Wei, trembling with anger and urgency. Seeing the Blackwatch soldiers intending to throw more punches, Raymond quickly stopped them: "Don't touch him! If he dies, I'll use you all to test the new serum!"

Hearing Raymond's words, the soldiers all stopped. After exchanging glances, they directly grabbed Li Wei's limbs, causing him to lose all ability to struggle.

Li Wei didn't care at all; instead, he laughed even more wildly and arrogantly.

"F**k you!"

"You! Hmph!" Facing Li Wei's wild laughter, Raymond was furious, but given that he was Subject Zero—the core of the entire Redlight Project—he had to endure it.

Caught in this internal conflict, his entire face turned the color of a pig's liver.

"You go first! Go to Laboratory 2!"

Raymond chose to let the squad members holding Li Wei leave first, while he went to clean up the nosebleed on his face.

A series of laughs echoed through the base. Li Wei was brought into a spacious octagonal laboratory. Metal was everywhere, and in the center stood an experimental bed covered in mechanical arms. Several experimenters in hazmat suits were busy tinkering with devices that looked completely incomprehensible.

After entering, Li Wei was strapped to the bed with several leather belts. This time, even his fingers and toes were not spared; he was nearly wrapped up layer upon layer.

Squinting, Li Wei saw an observation window diagonally above. The area was packed with members in white coats. Not only that, but there were also several high-ranking officers in military uniforms and elite figures in suits.

After observing the surroundings, Li Wei suddenly had the illusion that he had become Captain America. Was he about to undergo a super-soldier transformation?

After the Blackwatch squad soldiers left, several people in hazmat suits began sticking special small metal plates onto Li Wei's body. Once they finished, they also left.

The heavy door opened again, and two people in white hazmat suits carefully carried in a large box. At this moment, everyone at the observation window stood up in unison. Raymond McMullen also entered the observation deck and specifically turned on the loudspeaker to introduce the contents of the box to everyone.

"Inside this box is the final product of the Redlight Project. Compared to the uncontrollable virus of the Blacklight Project, it has undergone three hundred and sixty-seven evolutions. After interventions and experiments, and a total of 116 failures, it was born!"

"It is more stable and more powerful than the Blacklight Virus! It can be used not only in the military field, but the market for the Redlight Virus in the medical field is infinite. We have weakened its side effects—such as its high transmissibility, uncontrollability, and lethality. Now, the Redlight Virus has been successfully created!"

"Staff, please open the box!"

These words reached not only the ears of the bigwigs from various circles who had come to watch the experiment, but also Li Wei's ears. However, he appeared completely indifferent, sneering as he watched Raymond, who was holding court behind the observation window.

This made Raymond feel slighted. Thinking of the way he had just fallen face-first, his teeth and nose throbbed with pain.

The two staff members in hazmat suits opened the silver box. Cold mist from the dry ice poured out, and six blood-red glass test tubes lay quietly inside.

Two staff members displayed the test tubes to those behind the observation window for a moment, then began installing the blood-red vials onto the mechanical arms of the hospital bed.

"The Redlight Virus has many potential applications, including the extension of life, so now, it is time for us to witness history!"

Although he was quite dissatisfied with Li Wei, who had been sneering at him the entire time, Raymond still felt excited because the experiment was about to begin.

The elderly power-holders who had come to observe the experiment were all filled with anticipation at these words, their eyes burning as they stared at Li Wei below the observation window, waiting for the procedure to commence.

Raymond rambled on a bit more with grand rhetoric about how the future would be rewritten by them, and finally pressed the injection control button.

The mechanical arms beside the hospital bed began to move, inserting thick needles into Li Wei's hands, both sides of his neck, his heart, and his abdomen, as the red viral agent was pushed into his body.

A sensation of suffocation made Li Wei's eyes widen, his body trembling and struggling uncontrollably, as if the very function of breathing had vanished due to the influx of liquid.

His eyes were instantly overtaken by bloodshot veins, red lines began to crawl across his neck, the muscles in Li Wei's arms began to engorge and swell, and the skin on his body turned red before the naked eye.

Like breathing underwater, Li Wei felt his heart stop beating, yet he could still only feel pain; his body did not lose vitality because the heart had ceased its work, but instead began to grow savagely.

The virus injected into his body eroded his entire being in an instant, yet his consciousness remained clear, forcing him to continuously experience the agony radiating through his body.

Even compared to the Childbirth Experience Center he had once visited, Li Wei could guarantee that their highest level of pain was absolutely nothing compared to the intensity of what he was feeling right now!
