Chapter 132: The Great Female Professor who Sacrificed for Science
"This is a newly developed potion of mine. If you take it, over half of those among us who haven't mutated yet will become mutants. Of course, some will turn into zombies as well," Professor Yang said, placing a box of black potion on the conference table. "I just used telepathy to sense it; the zombie horde above has already receded, leaving only a dozen or so people guarding the door upstairs!"
"If we can have over half of us become mutants, along with the mutated warriors under our control, we can have over thirty mutants. With this strength, and if all the mutants take the outbreak potion, we should have a good chance of defeating them!"
Professor Yang looked at everyone present, her eyes filled with fervor and madness. In her eyes, they were not without a chance of winning!
"Or, we can hand over this newly developed potion, using it to show the people outside our capabilities. However, in that case, we may be able to survive, but from then on, we will be controlled and enslaved by these people.
Before the apocalypse, when we worked under the organization, I believe everyone should still remember clearly the situation where outsiders controlled insiders, and we accomplished nothing, even becoming their tools!"
"I won't choose to submit. As for whether you choose to fight or surrender, it's up to you to decide!"
The entire meeting room fell into silence in an instant. Faced with the impending life-or-death decision, everyone fell into contemplation.
They all understood Professor Yang's intention; she wanted them to make a desperate fight, striving for the maximum freedom for their scientific research!
However, this desperate fight must be based on the premise of sacrificing many people!
Not to mention how many people will die in the battle.
Even the uncertainty of the mutation-inducing potion instilled an incomparable fear in everyone.
When they forcibly injected the mutation-inducing potion into the ordinary people they captured before, they didn't feel much. But now, when it was their turn to face the test of life and death, they were afraid.
Experimenting on others, torturing others, and causing the death of others were one thing. However, risking their own bodies for a fifty-fifty chance of life and death was something they dared not do.
Especially after witnessing the agonizing expressions of the test subjects after taking these mutation-inducing potions, these people couldn't summon even the slightest bit of courage.
But faced with Professor Yang's imposing manner, no one dared to stand up and speak out.
"We still have two hours. It takes an hour to induce mutation. We have at most one hour to consider! I hope you all think carefully!" After Professor Yang finished speaking, she turned and walked to the door, entering her office on her own.
Everyone began to sink into contemplation, exchanging glances with one another.
Finally, a middle-aged female researcher stood up: "As long as we cooperate with the work of those outside, I believe he won't kill us. At most, he'll imprison us and make us work for him."
"If that's the case, what's the difference from what we're facing now? Why should we risk all our achievements being destroyed?" With this female researcher taking the lead, other researchers also began to express their thoughts.
"But, Professor Yang..." Everyone looked at the middle-aged male assistant who had always been loyal to Professor Yang.
The middle-aged male assistant's face twisted in a moment of conflict, then turned into a cold expression. He said, "If only a few of us surrender without any bargaining chips, we will definitely not fare well! Now, the core technology of the latest potion is all with Professor Yang. If we want to live a good life after surrendering, we must have enough bargaining chips..."
...
Shortly after, the middle-aged male assistant appeared again in Professor Yang's office. He respectfully handed a cup of coffee to Professor Yang and said, "Professor Yang, everyone has taken the mutation-inducing potion. Most people have successfully mutated. It's about time. What do you think?"
Professor Yang nodded in satisfaction. After taking a sip of coffee, she drank the strengthening potion handed to her by the male assistant. Then, with a determined and spirited expression, she stood up and said, "Prepare for battle, everyone! We'll do our best to fight our way out and reclaim control of the mansion!"
She would rather fight to the death than be unable to control her own destiny!
Soon, everyone in the underground laboratory began to gather, opening the elevator with determined faces. Led by Professor Yang, they ascended in the elevator.
As the elevator doors opened, and the metal doors slowly parted, Professor Yang gave a spirited shout, ready to lead her team in a fierce charge.
But the next moment, she suddenly felt a dizzying sensation, as if her entire body had been emptied. Staggering, she almost fell to the ground.
However, the followers behind her, instead of displaying the previous resolute demeanor, looked at her coldly one by one. Then, they slowly knelt down towards the man who calmly walked into the room from outside the door.
"Master! This is our new research achievement..." A male researcher respectfully kneeled before the entering man, presenting the mutation-inducing potion that Professor Yang had given them earlier.
"Master, this woman is the Professor Yang we just informed you about on the phone. Her mutation ability is telepathic control, very dangerous. However, she is now poisoned and has no combat capability..." The middle-aged male assistant, whom Professor Yang had always trusted, was trying to please the man who entered.
He bowed and spoke with a somewhat obsequious tone, "She wanted us to rebel just now, but we've deceived her and brought her here. Please, Master, deal with her..."
"Why... Why would you betray me?!" Professor Yang looked at the people behind her in disbelief. She couldn't understand why her loyal subordinates, who had always respected and been loyal to her, would betray her and sell her to the enemy!
Alex approached, embraced the slender and somewhat delicate Professor Yang, and lightly stroked her chin, saying with a soft smile, "I didn't expect the renowned Professor Yang to not only be a woman but also a beauty..."
Alex looked Professor Yang up and down, lips slightly curled. "It's a pity you're a bit too thin. However, I haven't tasted the flavor of a scientist beauty yet..."
Professor Yang looked at Alex with disgust, trembling all over, biting her teeth tightly. She wanted to get up and break free from Alex's hands, but at this moment, she had no strength to resist and could only allow Alex to move her.
Hearing Alex's words, the middle-aged male assistant hurriedly stepped forward, obsequiously saying, "Master, Professor Yang, despite being 36 years old, has never experienced emotions or romantic affairs. Even now, she is..."
After finishing his words, the middle-aged male assistant began to smile obsequiously.
Alex gave a cold glance at the middle-aged male assistant, then thrust a knife into his chest and kicked him out with force. "Despicable traitorous scum! I hate these kinds of treacherous individuals the most!"
