Legend of the Mythological Genes

Chapter 104: New Taskforce Leader

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

“What?” I’m the new taskforce leader? But the Crystallized Medicine Creation Technique has clearly failed!

The researchers in the department were all stunned. Their mouths were wide open with shock when they saw this scene.

A newbie that had just joined for a few days had first become a core member of their research taskforce. And now, he was even promoted to become a leader of a new taskforce? How quick was this promotion speed? This was simply beyond their imaginations.

Feng Lin’s shocked exclamations fully represented the feelings in their heart.

“This is merely a failed experiment, is there a need to regard him so highly?”

“He is directly promoted to a taskforce leader, isn’t this a little too unfair?”

“Most probably, Leader Aike would feel extremely reluctant to accept this right?”

...

These people started whispering to each other, feeling extremely puzzled with Frank’s decision.

Not only them, even Aike’s expression turned extremely sinister as he stared ruthlessly at Feng Lin.

Originally, he was already a harsh and cruel person. His attitude only became better because he was brainwashed by Feng Lin.

But now, seeing Feng Lin rising up to a level that could threaten his status and benefits, all hypnotism techniques would no longer be useful.

The goodwill he felt toward Feng Lin completely vanished as malice filled his heart.

Feng Lin’s eyes flashed. His sharp senses naturally noticed it, but he couldn’t be bothered with it.

Although Frank’s announcement was very shocking, wasn’t this precisely what he wanted?

He displayed his abilities to gain Frank’s recognition. After that, he could then slowly begin to probe the dark secrets of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company.

If he truly became the leader of a new taskforce, he should be able to achieve his goals right?

With regards to Aike’s enmity, he couldn’t care less. After all, he would no longer be under Aike in the future, and Aike could do nothing to him.

Upon seeing the confused look on Feng Lin’s face, Frank didn’t doubt anything, feeling that this was only normal.

A newbie was suddenly promoted to the high position of the taskforce group leader. No matter who it was, they would definitely feel surprised.

A smile appeared on Manager Frank’s face. He patted Feng Lin on his shoulder. “Although this powdered crystal has failed, I believe you have already embarked on the path of success. This path of thinking is absolutely correct. After all, that’s merely the first experiment, but the side effects of clinical trials have already been greatly reduced. This is why I want you to lead a new taskforce and focus fully on this Crystallization Medicine Creation Technique!”

He had a look of great trust in Feng Lin as he stared at him

Feng Lin also revealed a look of amazement that was just right. He pretended to be humble. “Manager trusts me too much. I merely accidentally bumbled through by luck and was fortunate enough to achieve the effects.”

“There’s no need to be so modest. In any case, being overly modest is no different from arrogance.” Frank shook his head and replied.

Seeing that Frank had already put it this way, Feng Lin no longer declined. If not, it might rouse Frank’s suspicions.

He nodded and accept it. He had a confused look on his face as he spoke, “Since I’ve become a taskforce leader, which genetic potion should I do research on? For every different type of potions, the crystallization method will be different as well. To research on making genetic potions consumable by ordinary people, isn’t that the research topic Leader Aike is responsible for?”

“I knew you would ask this. Don’t worry, since you are now a taskforce leader, we can allow you to know some of the core secrets of our Giant Pharmaceutical Company.” Frank smiled, very satisfied with Feng Lin’s answer.

Seeing the researchers crowding around them, he calmly spoke, “You guys can disperse for now.”

The researchers nodded, obeying the order.

After that, Frank glanced at Feng Lin as he calmly spoke, “Follow me!”

Feng Lin acquiesced.

Aike stood at the back and was gritting his teeth. However, without the approval of his manager, he didn’t dare to follow them.

After exiting the R&D department, the two of them walked into the depths of the Giant Pharmaceutical Company. After passing through three gigantic metal gates that were heavily guarded, an elevator leading downward appeared before their eyes.

When Frank saw the look of astonishment in Feng Lin’s eyes, he laughed and shrugged, “There are too many secrets in our company so it’s only normal that we use some special methods to protect them, isn’t that right?”

Feng Lin remained silent.

At this moment, Frank’s expression suddenly turned extremely solemn.

“Feng Lin, now that you are appointed to be a taskforce leader, you are now considered a core member of our Giant Pharmaceutical Company. However, a large tree would always attract wind. There are some dissidents and lawbreakers who wish to steal our company’s secrets. Now that you’ve become a core member, you must not divulge anything. I’m sure you are aware of the consequences.” Frank meaningfully spoke. His tone was filled with heavy warning as he stared at Feng Lin, observing his reactions.

Feng Lin’s heart trembled; he was clear that this was a test.

It seemed like the secrets that would be revealed to him soon would definitely be extraordinary ones. This was why Frank was sounding him out.

If he didn’t answer this and caused Frank to feel wariness against him, he would be in trouble.

The dissidents and lawbreakers he was speaking about should be none other than the Mars Revolutionary Army.

This thought flashed past his mind, but Feng Lin’s expression was as calm as ever. He replied, “That is only natural. Since I’ve already signed a contract with the company, I will naturally safeguard the company’s benefits!”

Frank nodded after he heard that.

The escalator brought them under the ground, moving downward at a rapid speed. The amount of time far exceeded his expectations, and it took a total of one whole hour.

Feng Lin silently mused that given the amount of time, they most probably had already sunk so deep that they had reached Mars’s core.

The truth was as he expected.

Although this elevator had a very strong encapsulation, he could clearly sense the temperature of his surroundings rising.

With a rumbling sound, the escalator finally stopped.

“Next, you will see an incomparably grand undertaking. This is a true secret of our Giant Pharmaceutical Company. Open your eyes wide!” Frank’s expression turned calmer as his tone was slightly filled with excitement.

Feng Lin nodded silently. It was involuntary that curiosity stirred in his heart.

As the doors to the elevator opened, he followed behind Frank. Before them was an extremely large space, yet the floor was formed from transparent alloys. When he lowered his head, he could see a giant fiery ball floating there. This was none other than Mars’s core.

The lava churned as heat waves filled the air. The steam generated was extremely poisonous with the smell of sulfur and other metallic elements.

Luckily, the space they were in was completely sealed, blocking out the poisonous elements in the steam completely.

Sentient robots walked in a row on the transparent floor, surrounded by a variety of high-tech instruments and equipments. Clearly, this was a secret base built deep in the core of Mars.

Feng Lin glanced over and could see thick pillars-like instruments embedded in the core, drawing the power of its heat and transforming it into usable energy. This was simply unimaginable.

Manager Frank was long used to this scene and continued to walk ahead.

A giant door then opened.

Feng Lin followed behind Frank and entered into a brand new space.

To his astonishment, he saw countless glass cabins in this place. They were concentrated together and were like trees in a forest. There were actually over tens of thousands of them, too much for his eye to take in.

In the glass cabin, red fluid filled the space. Each glass cabin also contained a naked human male. These human males were tall, muscular and seemed to be the fusion of beauty and strength. All of them gave off the feeling like they did body-building in the past.

Could it be that these were all human test subjects?

The number of bodies here was simply shocking, and Feng Lin felt his blood turning cold.

...

But after closer observation, Feng Lin felt that these didn’t seem like test subjects. These people all had strong bones and seemed to be in perfect condition. Their vitality was also extremely strong, completely different from those little white mice who were human test subjects that had lost their consciousness.

Feng Lin felt that this was extremely odd.

There are so many human bodies, where did the Giant Pharmaceutical Company manage to get them from?

This company was truly filled with secrets. The trepidation and wariness in Feng Lin’s heart grew more and more intense.

But other than a look of amazement on his face, he didn’t reveal any other emotions or what he was currently thinking.

Frank had been stealthily keeping tabs on Feng Lin’s expression. Upon seeing that his reactions were what he had expected, a smile appeared on Frank’s face.

Feng Lin acted like an extremely passionate researcher, rushing up to observe them closely. His gaze was filled with the wild heat of excitement, yet his heart felt ice-cold.

It was because he had discovered that these human bodies were basically identical. They all had a height of 1.98 meters, and if there was a difference, it wouldn’t be more than 1 cm apart. They were basically all from the same mold.

When he discovered this point, Feng Lin felt shocked in his heart. Upon closer observation, he discovered that the length of the limbs of these ‘human test subjects’ were all completely the same. All of them had white skin and blond hair that was as dazzling as the sun.

Their disheveled hair revealed their faces. They were all blonde with blue eyes and were extremely well-built with developed muscles. They were like stone sculptures of ancient greece and resembled heroes of the past that had revived.

These are all clones!

Feng Lin’s speculations were finally verified. He only felt fog was all before him as endless wariness arose in his heart.

What was the purpose of this underground laboratory?

To produce clones on a large scale?

Could it be that their purpose was to produce...

An army of clones?!
