"This pervert is really a weirdo." said Bondarev.
"In short, Oddity convinced everyone that the investigation team stayed behind to study this dragon. Everyone who approached it was terrified and could only rely on their piety to God and scientific spirit to persevere. They did not dare to risk disturbing it and collect its scattered scales and bones. At that time, the lower half of the dragon was already rotten. With the bayonet on its back as the boundary, the part above the bayonet remained intact, and the part below the bayonet only had bones left. The bayonet seemed to carry an unusual force. However, Raspujin was not satisfied with just drawing and collecting scales. He also injected dragon's blood into the bodies of animals for experiments. He had some knowledge of alchemy and guessed that dragon's blood was a kind of secret medicine. The alchemists of the Middle Ages had once mentioned this secret medicine. It was a blood-red liquid with powerful power. Some people would become demons after eating it, and some people would gain eternal life.”
"Those mutated skeletons are the results of animal experiments, right?”said Bondarev.
"Yes, his scientific spirit caused a disaster. The mutation was far more terrifying than he had imagined. The polar bear's spine split and a second head grew out. The snake grew dragonfly-like wings on its back. It devoured other animals and became extremely huge. The cat grew leopard-like sharp teeth, and its ribs grew crazily, piercing through its chest. What's even more terrifying is cross-species mating. Do you think snakes can mate with polar bears?”
"It sounds scary and disgusting." said Bondarev.
"It's bloody." The doctor handed Bondarev a roll of paper." Enjoy the sketch of the Lars Crystal Expedition.”
Bundarev felt his scalp tingle and wanted to vomit after just one glance. This copy should be Raspujin's diary. There were small words beside the sketch, and the first painting was a giant snake mating with a bear.
Although it was just a sketch, the strokes were sharp like the work of a master. The painter used the power of the raging waves to recreate the bloody scene. The two-headed polar bear howled in pain. The giant snake coiled around it and pierced the polar bear's abdomen with its bony tail. At the same time, its huge mouth swallowed one of the bear's heads into its stomach, and the other head bit the snake's neck.
"The male snake's mating method is actually to directly tear open the female bear's uterus.”the doctor said.
"I finally know that there are things in this world that make me want to vomit.”said Bondarev.
"The research team wanted to stop the experiment, but it was too late. The mutated animals began to mate and give birth. The number was unimaginably large. The cubs were born with tenacious vitality, and this space eventually became a nest for the Aliens. Raspujin realized that the cave had to be sealed, or else the mutated animals would turn into a disaster.”
"He melted all the ironware he brought and poured them into the cracks in the rock wall. But just as he was about to complete the project, the mutated animals realized that this was a disaster, and their intelligence increased significantly. Hundreds of animals fled frantically, and about a few hundred of them escaped from the dragon nest. Raspujin decided to close the dragon's nest by force. In the end, he even pushed the priests in the team into the cracks filled with molten iron. He felt that the priests as sacrifices to seal the door should be able to make the 'demons' inside behave. After the door was sealed, the expedition team trudged through the cave dug by the dragon. The animals fled in the cave, and everyone wanted to leave first. However, Raspujin was indeed a villain among villains. The map he gave his companions was fake. Only he took the real map and left the team quietly. Soon, the rising sea water flooded the cave, and the cave was sealed. Then it froze and collapsed. Finally, Laspugen returned to Moscow from the dragon's nest alone. In the next half century, he only revealed this secret to one person, and that was your great-grandmother. It was clear that he truly believed that your great-grandmother was a Chosen One like him.”
"As long as that pervert doesn't want to woo great-grandmother, I don't care.”said Bondarev.
" For the next few decades, this mysterious creature was frozen under the frozen soil in northern Siberia. No one went to explore the legacy left by Laspujing until a general in the Red Army named Golichina accidentally found Laspujing's investigation notes. However, the cave that the dragon had dug out had already collapsed. The Golichina family could only dig the dragon's nest again. After decades of exploration, they first found the bones of the mutated animals, then found the rock wall sealed by the laspectals, and finally found the dragon.”
"The Golichina family is your behind-the-scenes supporter, right? This family has many general-level technical officers and is in charge of the weapons research and development of the Red Army. They have a lot of convenience to steal state funds to feed you.”said Bondarev.
"Yes, but Admiral Golichna died suddenly at the beginning of last year. He has no heir. Since then, I have no supporters. Even if the Soviet Union does not disintegrate, I am not sure if I can continue to receive financial support.”
"It seems that I came at the right time. You have lost the supporter behind the scenes, and my family just happens to have enough power to replace him.”
The doctor laughed silently." If Admiral Golichna was still alive, our conversation wouldn't have gone so deep. I would have pulled the trigger long ago. However, in our conversation during the day, you said something that moved me.”
"Oh?"
"People of value will be respected in any era.”The doctor said slowly," This is the truth. Only cowards are bound by the times. Those with the ability create the times.”
" Then, for the truth." Bondarev raised his glass. Is this dragon dead now?"
"Unfortunately, the dragon was already dead when we were digging through the rock wall. It was bitten to death by those Mutant Beasts. After Laspergem sealed the dragon nest, the mutated animals inside could only kill each other. The dragon's blood ignited their bloodthirsty genes. They were extremely crazy and attacked everything they saw. In the end, they turned to the dragon. The mutated animals ate the remaining tissues on the dragon bones for a living.”
"I don't think it will be very delicious." said Bondarev.
"It's not just not delicious. In fact, the dragon's muscle tissue is rich in toxins. After eating the rotten dragon meat, the mutated animals were poisoned and died in this cave one after another. When we reopened the dragon nest, the first thing we saw was a mountain of corpses. The dragon was also bitten to death by them. They even ate the dragon's heart, leaving only the hard upper body that they could not bite.”
" The dragon didn't wake up and counterattack?"
"Its injuries were too severe. It was unable to wake up from its deep slumber and died just like that.”
"Let's talk about your research. We found a mysterious ancient race, but how do you turn it into money? Two billion USD is not a small number. We can't recoup our costs by publishing a few papers.”said Bondarev.
"You didn't find my file, did you?”The doctor smiled." So you don't know my research direction.”
"No. Before I came here, I had been guessing what kind of person the person in charge of Black Swan Harbor was.''Bondarev admitted frankly.
"Because I don't have a file at all. Of course, you can't find it. In the Soviet Union, I was one of the very few people who did not have a file. I could have been sent to court as a war criminal. My research direction in Germany was genetic engineering. I once built the world's largest gene bank for the Nazis. Under the influence of Hitlers 'ethnography, the German academic community once believed that Aryans were the best race in the world. We hoped to establish a gene bank and collect the genes of different races around the world to prove that Aryan children could run faster, jump higher, and be smarter. However, as our work progressed, we were surprised to discover from the genetic samples from Japan that the genes of the Aryans were nothing special. On the contrary, some other humans had mysterious 'perfect genes.' This gene was not from the same source as human genes, but it would give humans extraordinary abilities.
For example, the astonishing explosive power, and the ability to revive from death that once appeared in your great-grandmother. Every individual has a different supernatural ability. We boldly guessed that these people only have a part of the 'perfect gene', and these genes should have a common source. They all come from the same perfect creature.“
"Dragon?"
"Yes, but I didn't know then that the perfect creature I was looking for was a dragon. After the war, the Golichina family chose me as the chief scientist of Black Swan Harbor. When I saw this huge skeleton, I realized that this was the ultimate goal of my life. This perfect creature can change the fate of the entire human race. Using its genes and cloning technology, we can create a new human, a new era!”
"Have you already extracted a perfect gene from the dragon bone?”
"Unfortunately, we were unable to extract any active genes from the dragon bone. The moment the dragon died, all the cells that carried the genetic information died as well. The death of the creatures in the Fourth Domain was completely different from the death of humans. All life was lost in an instant, from the brain to the nerve endings. However, perfect genes did not necessarily have to come from perfect organisms!”
He knocked on a pair of black wooden sticks, and a secret door cracked open on the rock wall. An expressionless officer pushed a wheelchair out. Bondarev had seen him in the courtyard before. He had blond hair, a slender body, and huge pupils. The boy was exhausted in the wheelchair, his expression dull.
Bondarev subconsciously took a step back. This child had a feeling that he was between life and death, which made him uneasy.
"The place where perfect genes are most abundant is in the human body.”the doctor whispered.
……
Renata hummed a nursery rhyme as she walked down the corridor. The chalk on the wall was peeling off, and there was only one white light every few dozen meters. These old light bulbs sizzled and flickered like will-o'-the-wisps. Each light could only illuminate a small section of the corridor, and it was pitch black between the two lights.
Renata was not afraid. She grew up here. She was wearing a white cotton nightdress and holding her precious teddy bear. The bag bear was a birthday gift from the doctor. He asked the first mate of the icebreaker to buy it from Moscow. In Black Swan Harbor, this was a luxurious gift. The icebreaker could only come once a year.
Renata named the bear " Zorro." She knew from the book that Zorro was a masked swordsman. All bad guys would tremble in fear when they heard his name. Renata hugged Zorro when she slept at night. If there were any monsters hiding in the dark that wanted to hurt her, she would let Zorro kill them.
On the right side of the corridor was a thick wall, and on the left side were small rooms. There were a total of 38 rooms, and the iron gates were painted with white numbers. From No. 1 to No. 38, a child lived in each room. There were a total of 38 children. Renata was number 38, the last one.
She leaned against the small window of an iron door and looked inside. There was a boy sleeping on the small bed. It was Yakov. She picked up a piece of peeling wall and threw it in.
Yakov suddenly opened his eyes. His pupils were golden in the dark, and he slowly scanned the room.
After confirming that there was no danger, Yakov closed his eyes again. He did not wake up. This characteristic of scanning the surroundings in his sleep was like a lizard. When the lizard was asleep, if it felt a change in the wind around it, it would not wake up immediately. Instead, a part of its nervous system would wake up first and check the surrounding movements. If there was no problem, it would continue to sleep.
Renata knew that he wouldn't wake up. She was just smashing things for fun. She was bored and happy. The nurses didn't know that she was so mischievous behind his back.
Children who had undergone surgery were like Yakov. Once they fell asleep, they would not wake up easily. They would follow the sound of the clapping.
Children who had surgery did not need to wake up at night, but Renata had never had surgery, so she sometimes got up to go to the bathroom. The nurses were too lazy to open the door for the paper doll every time, and they were too lazy to clean up her wet bed, so sometimes they did not lock Renata's door. She could go to bed herself at night.
The head nurse sternly warned Renata not to wander around while she was relieving herself. She had to go to the toilet quickly and come back quickly. If she was caught wandering around outside, she would be grounded or undergo surgery.
However, Renata was very cunning and quickly figured out the nurses 'movements. After midnight, the nurses stopped making ward rounds. They were now drinking and playing cards in the on-call room. At this time, the entire floor belonged to Renata. She could do whatever she wanted. She patrolled the floor like a little queen patrolling her territory. She went to the tool room and then to the equipment room. She threw the wall paint to tease the sleeping children and then went to the vent of the heater to blow the warm air.
She used this convenience to search every area on the floor, but she could not find any trace of the black snake.
Renata still remembered the first time Black Snake appeared. That night, Renata made a mistake and was being grounded. She leaned against the cold iron door and sobbed, saying "Mom" hoarsely.
That was the time she cried the most. The nurses shouted through the iron door,"Cry!" It would be quiet if she cried herself hoarse! So she burst into tears, wanting to call the whole world to save her.
She cried until late into the night, until she could no longer make a sound, but no one came.
The moonlight shone in through the small window, shining on her thin white cotton nightdress and her thin and almost transparent calves.
That night, Renata understood something. The kind of person who wanted to call the world for help was precisely the kind of person that no one in the world would save.
For the first time, she thought that perhaps she could die.
At this moment, the entire building shook violently, as if countless metals were clattering. A huge figure that looked like a black river swam across the corridor, its golden eyes as bright as candles. The black snake came, bringing with it a strong gust of wind. The purplish-green electric current stuck between its scales and the iron door. The scales all over its body opened and closed like a happy castanet. It glanced at Renata as it swam past the confinement room, and its giant tail whipped the iron door hard.
The door opened and Renata ran out, staring blankly at its huge back.
Was it here to…save her?
"Unable to withstand a single grasp of confusion, it nurtured evil thoughts, scattered disaster in the sky, and brought destruction to all living beings!”
" That 'thousand years' will come to an end, and the black devil will be released from the seal. He is the only ancestor of all dragons, and he created the six kings!”
" He is the supreme dragon king with the highest virtue and power. He is the ultimate existence in the deepest part of the dragon civilization. His strength is limitless. He rules the entire world with fate and grazes all the souls like sheep in the name of God!”
"When he returns, the Twilight of the Gods will arrive!”It was as if a hundred million demons were singing in unison.
Renata sat in the darkness at the end of the corridor, covering her face and crying loudly. She was not frightened but happy. It turned out that there were still people in this world who would come to save her. It turned out that there were still people in this world who could hear her voice. It turned out that she was not so lonely that she did not have her own kind.
There must be someone born for you somewhere in this world. When you stand at the end of the cliff, don't lose hope. You have to hold on for one more second, waiting for that person to appear in front of you like a gust of wind. You will ride on his horse, even if he is a demon imprisoned by God for a thousand years.
She stopped in her tracks. There was a lonely iron gate with a huge " Zero " written in red paint.
Room Zero.
There were a total of 39 small rooms on this floor, but they were only ranked up to Renata's room 38. The extra room was room zero. There were only 38 children in this group. Perhaps there was another child living in Room Zero, but he had never shown his face. He did not go out with Renata and the others. He did not eat in the cafeteria, nor did he participate in the activities of watching revolutionary movies at night.
Therefore, Room Zero should be an empty room. Some of the more daring children looked inside and said that it was a very scary detention room with something like a torture rack inside. There were also children who said that there were actually two men locked up inside and that they had vaguely heard them arguing. In short, Room Zero was a mystery. When the nurses scared the children, they said,"The thing in Room Zero will eat you!”
According to the Fengshui of the Chinese, the room at the end of the corridor was the gathering place of all unclean things, and it would breed terrible things. Renata didn't know that. She just instinctively resisted Room Zero. She had visited all the other areas on this floor, except for Room Zero.
There was a dim gas lamp hanging in front of the iron door. There was no wind, but the flame was swaying on its own.
A strange thought suddenly popped up in Renata's mind. Could Black Snake be hiding in Room Zero? Tonight, she felt very strange. Room Zero, which used to look ferocious and terrifying, now seemed mysterious and attractive. She had unknowingly crossed the " No Entry " sign.
The steam lamp swayed overhead, casting shifting shadows. The iron door was rusted and had a large lock on it. Renata gently touched the big lock. She was not ready to open the door to see what was going on, she could not open it anyway.
The lock snapped open and fell straight down! If such a heavy lock fell to the ground, it would alarm the nurses upstairs, and Renata would be finished! She rushed over to catch the lock.
Just like that, she pushed open the door of Room Zero. The room was dark and empty, and a faint smell of decay assaulted his senses. The white curtains slowly rose and fell, stained with some kind of black stain. The light from the searchlight shone through the gaps of the wooden planks. On the left hand was a row of iron frames, filled with glass medicine bottles. On the right hand was a cast iron operating table covered with yellow rust spots. Renata suddenly realized that the stain on the curtain was blood. This was an operating room.
It was not strange to see blood in the operating theater, but she shuddered. Rather than calling the operating theater…it was more like a meat factory.
At this moment, she heard the faint sound of breathing. In the dark corner where the light could not reach, there was something that looked like a bed. On it lay a pale human figure. The person was wearing a straitjacket.
The clothes were made of tough white linen, and there were more than a dozen wide belts sewn all over the body. If anyone was particularly rowdy, the nurse would put them in a straitjacket.
Renata had also worn it once. After the belt was buckled, she could only lie stiffly on her back. Her entire body was like a cocoon trapped in a cocoon. It was difficult to even twist her neck. It was more uncomfortable than death. Compared to wearing a straitjacket, confinement was a form of enjoyment.
There was a disobedient youth locked up in Room Zero. She did not know how long he had been wearing a straitjacket. After wearing that kind of thing for a few hours, even the most irritable person would be as docile as a little lamb.
Renata mustered her courage and approached. This time, she could see more clearly. There was not a bed in the corner, but a cast iron recliner. It was only wide enough for a person to lie down, and there were many holes on the top and bottom to secure the straps on the straitjacket.
Renata suddenly pitied the boy. The time she was put in a straitjacket, she was only thrown on the bed in the detention room, but this child was tied to a cast-iron chair and couldn't even move.
However, this young man actually fell asleep sweetly.
It was a young man around 14 or 15 years old. Renata had never seen him before. He was wearing a wire mask. Through the mask, one could see an Asian face. The gentle lines of his face were so beautiful that it seemed to blur the gender. The pure black color covered his broad forehead, and his eyebrows were black and straight.
Renata looked at him silently and listened to his even breathing. She could not help but relax.
Seeing him sleeping so peacefully, Room Zero was not as scary anymore. The smell of medicine and blood had also faded. The searchlight shone on the wall like a full moon.
"How pitiful." Renata whispered.
There was nothing she could do to help the boy. Seeing that his lips were a little dry, she went to the water pipe to get a small handful of water and dripped it on the boy's lips through the wire mask. After the water seeped in, the boy's lips regained their color slightly. Renata was a little happy.
She picked up Zorro and walked to the door. At this moment, someone behind her said,""Don't be in a hurry to leave, Renata."
