Chapter 2216 Experiment

With no prior warning, this sudden urgency for human experimentation...

Was it because of recent activity among the tree spirit clan?

In Shi Tingwu's view, this human experimentation was extremely rushed.

He could not help but question its safety.

However, since the orders had come from higher-ups, he could only grit his teeth and comply.

"Is this Dr. Fang?"

Shi Tingwu immediately focused his gaze on Fang Heng and said, "Hello, Dr. Fang, I'm Shi Tingwu. The Federation has assigned me to oversee this collaborative human experimentation. Our team will assist you in the experiments."

"Hello, nice to meet you. Shall we begin?"

Fang Heng nodded, then glanced at the row of over ten Federation psychic scholars behind Shi Tingwu, gesturing towards several large crates behind him.

In addition to them, Cheng Fan also arranged for some psychic enhancers from OmniTech Company to accompany them.

Several bodyguards also brought along several large wooden crates on carts.

"Let's go."

As the group moved the crates, Shi Tingwu suddenly raised his eyebrows, his gaze shifting towards the tall middle-aged man behind Fang Heng.

That person...

Shi Tingwu sensed an extremely dangerous aura emanating from him.

Who was he?

In the brief moment their eyes met, Shi Tingwu suddenly felt an extreme sense of danger.

"Brother Tingwu, don't just stand there, let's go," someone called out to him, breaking his reverie.

Cheng Fan patted Shi Tingwu's shoulder.

"Oh, right."

Shi Tingwu and Cheng Fan were both psychic scholars and had collaborated frequently before, so they were very familiar with each other.

Cheng Fan explained, "Dr. Fang has made significant breakthroughs in psychic research recently. We've already conducted conventional experiments, and their feasibility has been verified. Now, we want to conduct some secret human experiments using the power from the stones left behind by the spawns. Rest assured, I understand your concerns. If any issues arise, we'll stop immediately."

"Alright, I'm counting on you."

Shi Tingwu withdrew his gaze.

For safety, he checked Fang Heng's identity report again, then signaled for his subordinates to open the entrance passage door.

The ripples emitted by the Obsidian Stone would gradually spread.

In the short term, it wasn't noticeable, but over time, it could cause irreversible damage to living organisms.

Therefore, the Federation had established safe zones in the sixth basement, prohibiting anyone from entering or leaving on regular days.

"Please follow me."

Fang Heng nodded and followed the others into the basement. They traversed a long pathway, and after a metal door lifted up ahead, they entered a spacious underground warehouse.

Scattered throughout the storage room were over a dozen pieces of Obsidian Stone.

The largest one was about six meters tall.

"Everyone, we've arrived."

They stood still in the warehouse, exchanging glances before focusing their attention on Fang Heng.

"Okay."

Fang Heng stepped forward.

Standing in the center of the hall, he could clearly feel the stimulation emanating from the Obsidian Stone.

He closed his eyes.

[Hint: The player receives the mental honing effect, gaining psychic experience points +83.]

[Hint: The player suffers from psychic wear and tear, losing 200 HP...]

[Hint: The player's current physique attribute has reached 100 points, immune to the current stage's psychic wear and tear effect on HP reduction.]

As expected.

As the stimulation from the Obsidian Stone gradually increased, the player could gain more experience points through skills. Of course, this also meant an increase in the negative effects of psychic wear and tear.

It would require the player to have stronger physical attributes.

Fang Heng opened his eyes and nodded gently at Cheng Fan nearby.

Cheng Fan understood and signaled for his subordinates to move the crates they had brought along into the center of the hall.

"What's this?"

Shi Tingwu curiously asked Cheng Fan in a hushed tone.

"Some specimens."

The subordinates of OmniTech Company moved the crates to the center of the hall, opened the locks on the exterior of the crates, and then quickly pushed them backward, showing particular caution.

"Click, click, click..."

The lids of the crates automatically lifted, and shaky figures emerged from them.

They were zombies!

Seeing the zombies hidden in the wooden crates, Shi Tingwu's face slightly changed.

The Federation soldiers behind him immediately raised their beam weapons at the zombies.

"Don't be nervous. These are specimens provided by the company and are part of the experiment," Cheng Fan waved his hand to signal, "They pose no danger."

Shi Tingwu furrowed his brows deeply.

So, these zombies in front of him were replicas created by OmniTech Company?

The first encounter with zombies was during Fang Heng's intrusion into the research institute last time.

In such a short time, OmniTech Company had already made the latest developments with zombies?

Controlled by Fang Heng, the zombie creatures slowly gathered around the largest piece of Obsidian Stone.

Fang Heng began to see game prompts appearing on his retina.

[Hint: The player's zombie clone (normal form) receives the mental honing effect, gaining +83 psychic experience points.]

[Hint: The player's psychic talent increases by +0.000001.]

[Hint: The player's current physique attribute has reached 100 points, immune to the current stage's mental honing effect on HP reduction.]

[Hint: The Licker receives mental honing damage, which will be inherited and endured by the player.]

Effective!

Fang Heng felt a stir in his heart.

Cultivating psychic abilities could also exploit the bug of using zombie clones to do the work!

Excellent.

This issue was resolved.

With the zombie clones continuing to cultivate psychic abilities in place, Fang Heng turned to Cheng Fan behind him and nodded.

"Ready, we can begin."

In truth, Cheng Fan didn't know the specific tests Fang Heng wanted to conduct either. Fang Heng had simply asked him to help select a few suitable psychic scholars to participate in live sample tests.

Cheng Fan found himself in a dilemma. While Fang Heng said he wanted to choose specific individuals for the tests, he hadn't provided specific criteria for selection.

Well, he might as well close his eyes and pick randomly!

He would choose a few trustworthy ones.

Three psychic ability users from OmniTech Company stepped forward.

As agreed with the Federation beforehand, aside from OmniTech Company, the Federation would also send three soldiers to participate in the human experiments.

Just like OmniTech Company, the Federation didn't provide specific conditions; they could choose anyone who had completed formal psychic training.

Shi Tingwu couldn't shake the feeling that this experiment was peculiar.

In the past, experiments always had various requirements and restrictions.

Today, there were no restrictions at all, which instead made people feel strange.

He simply adopted the pattern of volunteering and selected three soldiers.

Shi Tingwu said solemnly, "Experimenters, step forward!"

"Yes!"

In the crowd, a row of three soldiers stepped forward together, their expressions somewhat serious.

The research project had reached the final stage of human testing, theoretically with a very low risk factor.

But who could guarantee one hundred percent safety?

After all, accidents had happened before.

After all, on the path of exploring strength, one always had to pay some price.

Fang Heng glanced at the row of six people standing in line, signaling with his eyes toward the neatly arranged row of boxes at the edge of the warehouse.
