Zhang Lisheng’s calm and cooperative actions had somewhat dispelled the nervousness of some officers.

“If you’re really a scientist in the bunker, why didn’t you notice in advance when you go in and out?” The sergeant in charge of the duty asked in a skeptical manner but he still picked up the scanner to scan the face of the skinny and bald young Asian man in front of him.

Very soon, the computer screen connected to the scanner confirmed Zhang Lisheng’s words. The sergeant breathed a sigh of relief, “Dr. Zhang Lisheng, looks like you often leave the bunker for a long time, so it’s no wonder you still don’t know what happened.”

He did not order his men to lower their guns but instead, he asked with a slight amiable tone as he pointed at the three girls. “Who are they?”

“My girlfriend, and two good friends. They are students from Harvard University who came to visit the island. I’m just taking them to my lab.”

“Students from Harvard University who came to the island for a field trip? Can you tell us their names, Dr.?” The sergeant used a talk-through questioning method but his tone allowed no room for others to put a word in.

“Tina Douglin…” Zhang Lisheng quickly reported the names of the three girls.

A few seconds later, the sergeant verified the identity of Tina, Trish, and Sheila in the computer data. He looked at the girls’ faces carefully and clapped his hands before saying, “Well guys! The alarm is lifted.”

Upon hearing the sergeant’s words, the soldiers around him finally lowered the semi-automatic guns in their hands. At this moment, the sergeant finally explained, “I’m sorry, Dr. I’m sure you also know that many calamitous murder cases have been happening in the gathering place recently. Not only that, it has even involved us professional soldiers as well. For this reason, the rules for entering and leaving the bunker have become stricter, and you should have been notified through your communicator…”

“My communicator is now lying in my lab.”

“So you’re not used to being tracked at any time, huh? But, I’m afraid you’d have to take it with you all the time now. You’ll have to use it to send a notice five minutes before entering the bunker, otherwise, I’m afraid you’ll have to encounter this kind of thing every time.” The sergeant shrugged and pressed the button hidden under the office desk that opened the bunker entrance, “Anyway, welcome back, Dr.”

“Thank you, Sergeant.” Zhang Lisheng walked into the cement room with the three girls who had not yet recovered from their fright. After Sheila had calmed down a bit, she suddenly said with wide eyes, “That was so exciting! So having so many guns pointed at you actually feels like this!”

“This is not a good thing, Sheila! I was the one at fault for letting you guys encounter such an unexpected situation,” Zhang Lisheng responded while bringing the three girls to walk along the spiraling stairs into the bunker.

The spacious and long ramps in the bunker extended to all directions, the ceiling lights, on the other hand, were bright and soft.

When the professional soldiers who were walking by saw the three beautiful girls appearing in the bunker, they instinctively looked at them with a masculine gaze. However, nobody took the initiative to try to strike up a conversation.

Zhang Lisheng looked around and found a ‘B67’ sign on the wall. After confirming his direction, he slowly brought the girls to look for the directions to his own lab.

Compared to when it was just newly established, the lab had become fully equipped with the various instruments privately added by the young man. It did not look like a lab that was hosted by a simple graduate student.

“Wow! This is really like a top-notch biological lab!” Reaching out a finger to touch the large embryo protein screening machine situated close to the door, Trish said with a smile, “No wonder they start to call you ‘doctor’ already, Lisheng!”

“I’ve corrected them many times but after they learned that I’m temporarily hosting Stanford’s biological lab on the island, they still call me ‘doctor’. In the end, I feel that since I’m going to become a true doctor in one or two years, there’s no harm having them call me by that title in advance. Anyway, aren’t those drug dealers and those gangster bosses in New York who don’t have any graduate qualifications called ‘doctor’ as well?” Zhang Lisheng replied jokingly.

“Dr. Steven has not been on the island recently?” When Tina heard her boyfriend’s words, she smiled and asked.

From his clothes that were covered with pockets, Zhang Lisheng pulled out some red seeds that looked like peas; some insects that had a body as soft as plasticine that was entangled in vines; some algae that were constantly twitching in sealed special test tubes; and all sorts of strange experimental materials before sorting them out properly.

After that, in accordance to his new idea, he prepared a new type of ‘stabilizer’ on the basis of the original preparatory chemical before answering, “My supervisor will come once in a month or two. He’d stay in the lab for up to three to four days and collect the experimental data, results, and inferences that I’ve made before going back to New York to look after Dr. Effiny while doing his research. ”

“In that case, this lab is entirely presided by you then, baby? Looks like you’re already a qualified experimental biologist. I’m really proud of you!” Patiently waiting for Zhang Lisheng to finish his work, Tina praised from the bottom of her heart.

“Tina, don’t add the words ‘qualified’ and ‘experimental’ in front of a biologist’s title.” Zhang Lisheng pulled a cylindrical silver metal container from the cabinet containing the experimental materials and carefully placed it in the groove of the experimental platform before locking it in place.

Then, he used his right index finger to gently tap on the fingerprint reader. The metal container opened with a snap and emitted a cold white mist.

The mist dispersed and the silver metal barrel spread out like petals, revealing more than ten pieces of materials that were floating in the air over the air cushion, like pieces of tiny stars, while giving off fascinating and intoxicating radiances. “You should praise me as a great biologist.”

“Oh God! T-This should be the Gold Core right? It looks like a bean combined! But you didn’t say that it was actually so beautiful earlier!” The three girls were immediately attracted by the star. As they surrounded it and watched for a long time, Sheila suddenly marveled in amazement, “Can you give me a piece? I want to inlay it in a necklace and make those ladies in New York scream in wonder!”

“I also didn’t know that the material inside the Gold Core would be able to emit such brilliance once I shatter it.” Zhang Lisheng grabbed a white rat in the automatic feeder. After skillfully damaging its brain tissues with a sharp long needle, he threw it on the experimental platform and carefully used a pair of tweezers to pick up a piece of the Gold Core. “Of course you can take one piece if you want, Sheila. But it’s best to make a decision after watching my experiment.”

As he was speaking, he operated the automatic injection device of the experimental platform and injected the newly made ‘stabilizer’ to the rat that had stopped breathing. Then, he used a scalpel to cut open the skin and bone on the spine of the white rat, before picking up the Gold Core’s pieces with flat nose pliers and making direct contact with the vertebrae of the white rat’s spine.

In an instant, the white rat, who had already died completely, suddenly opened its eyes. Barring its mouth as it shrieked sharply, its eyes that were gradually filled with blood turned red completely while its four limbs that were fixed on the experimental platform had begun to struggle desperately as well.

Its fur began to grow, its body began to swell up like a balloon, while its shriek began to turn into howls of pain.

“W-what’s wrong with it, Lisheng? What the hell!? This is really horrifying!” The girls who were watching could not help but shout and ask.

“I’ve destroyed the brain of this white rat and cut off its spinal cord so it has long been in the state of brain dead but you can see how active it is now. Its life is mutating under the nourishment and catalysis of the Gold Core.” Zhang Lisheng looked at the clock on the wall nervously. “It has already been 54 seconds. This is a new record, which proves that the stabilizer that my supervisor and I’ve prepared…”

As he was speaking, a ‘pop’ sound suddenly reverberated. The body of the white rat that had turned to the size of a piglet had suddenly burst into a myriad of fragments, turning into green smoke in the air with stench before disappearing without a trace.

“It seems that my ‘stabilizer’ is still not stable enough.” Looking at the empty experimental platform, Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a while before letting a sigh. Opening the vent hole, he took the Gold Core shard with a tweezer and raised it up to Sheila. “It’s a good thing that this ‘little star’ is still shining after the experiment. Do you still want it, Sheila?”

“Get that thing away from me, Zhang Lisheng! You better temporarily disappear from my eyes too! That was just too creepy!” Sheila shouted loudly.

Zhang Lisheng shrugged and put the Gold Core shard back into the silver metal container, resealed it, hid it, before shrugging and said, “Well Sheila, if you’re completely paralyzed and is a patient who’ll have to lie in the bed forever in the future, or the soul of a person who has just died, you’ll have a different mindset when you see the experiment just now.”

The young man’s words made the girls stunned and after they calmed down from the horror, they carefully thought. Only then that they realized that the terrible experiment that Zhang Lisheng had just done was actually very amazing in terms of scientific significance.

“You made the dead animal become alive for a short time just now! It’s not a phenomenon of biological reanimation after death but instead, it’s a real resurrection! A-And that rat was shouting, struggling, and the eyes were so red that they were about to explode…”

“Yes, Tina. It cried so loudly and so lively so I thought that it was going to succeed this time. Who knows that it’d still fail in the end. I think a big part of the reason is because the ‘activity’ of the subject is too small. But, it’s too dangerous to carry out this kind of uncontrollable experiment on large animals…”

Seeing his boyfriend reviewing his own experiments to himself, the girl became silent for a long while before finally saying with difficulty. “Baby, in the eyes of ordinary people, ‘life’ is a territory that only God can reach. Of course, I know that your ancestors are also very powerful gods and your research is really amazing so I’m very willing to correct my mistakes and call you a great biologist, but are you sure you won’t create something like a ‘zombie virus’ that will destroy the entire human race? ”

“Of course not, Tina, the key ‘medium’ for conducting this kind of experiment is the Gold Core shard but do you know how small the chances of encountering this spiritual monster is in the wild? The thing that you’re worried about will never take place.”
