A few more days passed, and she kept avoiding Room 001, whether consciously or not.
That day, a heavy gloom hung over all the researchers.
It had started with the professor flying into a rage in the lab.
"Useless! Another useless result!"
"I can't see anything special about him at all!"
"Test subject No. 001 is the greatest failure since we launched this project!"
Xia Yu had a rough idea of what had happened. They probably hadn't extracted any special genes from the organ samples taken from No. 001 last time.
"No. 001 is as ordinary as a sickly human..."
"Dispose of him. Feed him to No. 002..."
Xia Yu sighed as she listened to the conversation drifting out.
Although she didn't know how No. 001 had kept No. 028 from attacking him, she hoped he could survive this time too.
Just then, Wang Ke suddenly sidled over to share some gossip.
"Do you know why No. 028 didn't kill No. 001 last time?"
He asked in a quiet voice.
Xia Yu knew he must have found something out, so she honestly told him she didn't know.
Wang Ke glanced around. Seeing no one nearby, he lowered his voice even further. "I sneaked a look at No. 028's experimental records.
"He was actually grown from No. 001's genes..."
In other words, No. 028 was effectively a clone of No. 001.
Xia Yu couldn't quite make sense of it. "Then why is No. 028 so powerful when he was made using only a tiny bit of No. 001's genes, while No. 001 hasn't shown anything special at all?"
Wang Ke shook his head and said that even the professor couldn't figure that out.
No. 028 was uncontrollable, so the professor only used him as a tool for disposing of corpses.
Of
