The Manufacturing Method of the New Serum (Part 2)

Before long, Dilos and Dr. Connors arrived at the latter's private laboratory.

The moment he entered, Dilos saw papers covered in all sorts of decay-rate formulas, along with more than a dozen transparent cages made of polymer glass, each five or six meters tall.

Inside the cages were pitch-black adult silverback gorillas. Clearly, these were Dr. Connors's test subjects.
