Government Experiment

Seeing that Lorne handed the crystal cores to it, Whitey shouted happily.

Whitey quickly picked up a crystal core from Lorne's hand and ate it. Seeing that Whitey had eaten a crystal core so easily, Lorne looked at it worriedly.

"Whitey, are you okay? Does your body hurt?"

But Whitey just looked at Lorne in confusion, as if it did not understand why he was so worried. It was just a snack.

After digesting one crystal core, Whitey quickly picked up the remaining crystal cores and ate them. After finishing them, Whitey spread its wings lazily, looking very satisfied.

After observing Whitey for three minutes, Lorne heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that it was fine.

Furthermore, Lorne realized that Whitey had not changed at all after finishing the crystal cores. It was still so small and cute.

"You're such a magical little guy." Lorne stroked Whitey's wings and said with emotion.

"We have to work harder to hunt for crystal cores in the future. Only then will we have delicious food," Lorne said to Whitey.

Hearing Lorne's words, Whitey nodded in agreement. It fluttered its wings and flew in front of Lorne, as if indicating that it would work hard to hunt for the crystal cores.

"Haha, but you still have to prioritize your own safety, understand?" Seeing how confident Whitey was, Lorne warned it again so it would not put itself in danger for the crystal cores.

"Let's eat lunch!" Lorne patted Whitey on the head and said.

Because he had killed a few goats, Lorne had no intention of eating the food he had brought from the shelter. After all, fresh food was better.

"Whitey, let's eat roasted whole goat this afternoon. Do you know what roasted whole goat is? It's that goat. You'll know when I finish roasting it. I guarantee you'll be addicted to it."

While boasting of his roasting skills to Whitey, Lorne slowly walked to the corpses of the goat with the knife, planning to clean them up to to roast them later.

…

At this moment, the government research institute was also studying the use of the crystal core.

"After our research, Doctor, we found that apart from being hard, this crystal core seems to be useless. Is our method of research wrong?"

"Additionally, these crystal cores can still be broken. We tested them with a hydraulic machine. When the pressure reaches a certain level, these crystal cores will break. After shattering, the fragments will slowly disappear."

"Instead of studying this crystal core, I think we can study the specimens of those monsters and analyze their body structure. Maybe we can even find a way to increase our strength."

Another researcher heard this and spoke.

"No, these cores must have their own use. I think that kind of use is unique. It must be because our technology hasn't reached that level, that's why we feel that we can't figure out the use of the core."

Dr. Zhang refuted their views and insisted on his own.

"Did you guys consider if the crystal core is edible?"

Dr. Zhang looked at the two of them silently and expressed his opinion. They had used most of the conventional testing methods on the crystal core, but they still failed to detect the use of this crystal core.

"I experimented locking two different types of creatures in the same room. I found that the powerful creature shows the tendency to devour the weak creature after a period of hunger."

"Moreover, the first thing the powerful creature did after killing the weak creature was to eat the crystal core of the weak creature."

"I compared the before and after data. After eating the crystal core, this creature became even more powerful. Its physique and energy increased greatly."

"So, I think we can experiment eating a crystal core to see if our bodies will change?" Dr. Zhang suggested boldly.

"Doctor, no one will want to be in charge of this kind of experiment. Moreover, if humans cannot use this kind of crystal core, who will be responsible for their deaths?" Dr. Zhang's assistant refuted his point of view.

"Then let me be in charge," Dr. Zhang said calmly.

"Doctor, why are you doing this?" His assistant was in disbelief. He did not understand why the doctor would sacrifice his future.

"You guys have been staying in the laboratory all the time, so you might not know what's going on outside. Although our firearms can still suppress all kinds of situations, I know that the firearm suppression will weaken as the monsters become stronger."

"The research on the use of the crystal cores will give us one more hope of survival."

"There's still no need to be in such a hurry, right?" His assistant wanted to say more, but was stopped by Dr. Zhang.

"Don't say anymore. I've thought it through. I'll bear the consequences. Go out and ask the members of the law enforcement team to see who's willing to do this experiment. You have to explain the dangers of the experiment to them."

Seeing that Dr. Zhang was so determined, his assistant could only follow his instructions and walk out the door.

Soon, Dr. Zhang's assistant brought a member of the law-enforcement team over. The federal army of the Federation was always willing to contribute their strength, even if it meant sacrificing their lives.

"Do you know the danger of this experiment?" Dr. Zhang asked the law-enforcement officer.

"I'm aware of it. Your assistant has already told me the situation of this experiment in detail," the officer replied calmly.

"Alright, thank you for your contributions to the world." Dr. Zhang bowed deeply to the law-enforcement officer.

"Isn't this something that should be done? If we don't actively seek survival in this situation, won't we be doomed? Moreover, doesn't this experiment have a certain degree of success? If it succeeds, I will be a super soldier."

The law-enforcement team member said with a smile.

"You are a great person. Can you tell me your name?" Dr. Zhang felt high admiration toward this law-enforcement officer.

"Captain of Law Enforcement Team No. 1, Gray." This law enforcement captain shouted his name loudly.

"Gray, I'll remember you. Let's begin the experiment."

"Do you need me to do anything?" Gray asked Dr. Zhang.

"What you need to do is not complicated. You just have to hold this crystal core and eat it quickly when I tell you to." Dr. Zhang took out a crystal core and handed it to Gray.

"What a familiar thing. A few days ago, I even hunted two monsters and took out the crystal core in their heads," Gray said with a smile as he looked at the crystal core in his hand.

"Now, we need to find a way to use this crystal core so that we humans can use it to increase our strength," Dr. Zhang said to Gray.

"Lie in this tank now! Remember to take off your clothes," Dr. Zhang said to Gray as he pointed at a transparent tank with tubes and some liquid inside.

"Okay, Doctor." Gray immediately took off his clothes and walked into the tank filled with liquid.

"How's his status now?" Dr. Zhang asked his assistant after seeing Gray walk in.

"According to the monitoring device, his body is very healthy. His heartbeat and various bodily functions are also very normal. Moreover, the medicinal liquid in the tank is constantly nourishing his body," Dr. Zhang's assistant replied.

"Um, Gray, you can eat the crystal core in your hand now. Be careful not to choke." After hearing the assistant's report on Gray's health, Dr. Zhang asked Gray to start eating the crystal core.

Gray did not hesitate and immediately put the crystal core into his mouth.
