Although the scientists in the laboratory came from all over the world, Olivia Bolton’s mind contained all the languages in the world, including Tocharian, which is spoken by only a handful of people, so nothing in the lab was a secret to him.
From the conversations of those researchers, he learned that this wolf-head stone, glowing with a green light and codenamed “Greedy Wolf,” was said to be a meteorite from outer space, with an unknown origin.
The owner of this laboratory was named Fraser Felton, and everyone called him ‘Professor Fraser’.
Professor Fraser created this demon laboratory and launched a genetic project called “Einstein,” attempting to crack the code of human evolution, and this green meteorite seemed to be the key to the Einstein experiment.
Olivia Bolton was not the first test subject; his number was 72. The 71 unlucky ones before him, upon first contact with the Greedy Wolf Stone, had their blood boil under intense radiation and ultimately died when their bodies exploded.
Olivia Bolton didn’t know why he hadn’t exploded like those 71 predecessors. He didn’t have time to ponder this question now; his biggest goal at the moment should be—escape!
Otherwise, he’d just be waiting to explode.
Seventy-one had already exploded before him—why couldn’t he be next?
Beep beep beep beep beep beep...
The numbers on the display climbed faster, and the alarm kept emitting an annoying sound.
Two lab technicians hurried over, cautiously observing the changes in the display’s readings.
“My God! This guy’s total number of brain cells and activity level are so high. If we tested his IQ right now, wouldn’t it surpass Einstein’s?” one technician exclaimed.
“Lucky for this yellow-skinned monkey. Look, he’s even glaring at me...” the other technician sneered.
“Hahaha, why are you glaring at us? You lowly yellow-skinned monkey, even if your IQ is over 200 and your body is as strong as King Kong, you’re still an inferior creature. This glass container is bulletproof—even a sniper rifle can’t penetrate it. Do you think you can jump out and bite me?”
“Do yellow-skinned monkeys bite? They’re probably not carnivores, more like gorillas who love to eat bananas.”
“Hahahahahaha...” The two laughed recklessly, their voices echoing in the lab, more biting than any insult.
They thought Olivia Bolton couldn’t understand them, and even if he could, they didn’t care. But Olivia Bolton understood every word, every letter, perfectly.
He was furious!
Anyone with a shred of pride couldn’t endure such humiliation, and Olivia Bolton happened to be someone with pride.
A fighting spirit surged in his mind, a raging fire burned in his chest, his blood surged like the mighty Yangtze River, racing faster and faster. Outwardly, nothing seemed amiss, but inside, astonishing changes were taking place.
A thunderclap in the silence!
The Greedy Wolf Stone, which had been lying quietly beside Olivia Bolton, suddenly became excited, trembling violently like a shark smelling blood, as if it would devour someone the next second.
Beep beep beep beep beep...
The numbers on the display soared, and the alarm blared urgently.
“What’s going on? What happened?” The technician who had been laughing the loudest suddenly stopped, his voice cut off like a duck being strangled.
“Subject 72’s vitals are extremely unstable. I have a bad feeling about this—we must notify Professor Fraser immediately.” The other technician ordered his assistant to contact Professor Fraser at once.
Olivia Bolton felt his body growing hotter and hotter, his blood like boiling gasoline, ready to ignite at any moment. His eyes were bloodshot, his pupils filled with a crimson ink, looking ferocious and terrifying under the lights.
The Greedy Wolf Stone seemed to sense this searing murderous intent. With a “whoosh,” it flew into the air, swaying and trembling, its gaping wolf mouth as if devouring this killing intent. The more it absorbed, the more excited and frenzied it became, shaking even more violently in midair.
“What... what on earth is happening...”
The Greedy Wolf Stone, which had always been dormant, was now dancing in midair. The two technicians stood dumbfounded, their mouths agape, wide enough to fit two ostrich eggs.
At this moment, Professor Fraser hurried in with his assistant. Like the other researchers, he wore a green protective suit, a cap, and a mask, so only his gray-brown eyes were visible—deep, sharp, and predatory like a hawk.
“What’s going on? What emergency made you call me over?” Professor Fraser’s voice was hoarse and low, like an old crow cawing at dawn or dusk.
“Professor, look...”
Following the technician’s gesture, Professor Fraser turned his gaze to the glass vessel. His eyes widened instantly, and he blurted out, “My God! What is going on here?”
Chapter Two: Escape into Jiangcheng!
The head of the Greedy Wolf Stone trembled rapidly like a snake hunting its prey, as if desperately trying to break free from some mysterious attraction from Olivia Bolton. After struggling for a long time, it finally, reluctantly, snuggled up to him.
