Chapter 190: Chapter 94: Insect Race, Genetic Experiment

The periods of his consciousness grew increasingly shorter, and finally, with a last burst of strength, he suppressed the consciousness of the Insect Race, his body convulsing as he made this request to her… If he took his own life, it would lead to the premature awakening of the Insect Race consciousness within him, and at that point, Su Jiameng wouldn’t survive either…

Needless to say, the end result was that Su Jiameng survived, while the instructor she regarded as a father perished.

He left with a smile, and his final words stayed with her for life. He said, “It’s good to die like this, at least I’m still human…”

And now, the Insect Race that devoured the young man was obviously not that super-powerful and twisted new type of Insect Race, but just the lowest and most useless Adhesive Devouring Worm. It lacked the ability to actively invade genes, so it could be inferred that it was deliberately done by an outsider.

Su Jiameng could guess the inside story, but who in this world would believe or understand her actions?

“Now I am actually relieved that I didn’t let Nana and her brothers come, otherwise, there would be no way to explain this, right?”

Su Jiameng felt a burst of bitterness and sourness in her mouth. If she had brought Xu Lei and the others along, and they had witnessed her killing scene, how could she explain it to them? Saying, “The Adhesive Devouring Worm, a mindless creature that only feeds, secretes disgusting mucus, and breeds relentlessly, with a tenacious life force. The previous person was already half-consumed by the Adhesive Devouring Worm, with gene devouring and fusion complete, entirely beyond saving. He would devour anything he could sink his teeth into, a senseless monster,” that she killed him to “save people”?

Would Xu Lei and his siblings even be able to understand her words? This reality was too distant and strange for them.

Guan Changxi thought for a moment and said, “Actually, you should have more faith in your friends. They’re not hothouse flowers; their ability to accept these things might be much stronger than you imagine.”

Su Jiameng remained silent. For things that have never happened, no one can predict what the actual scene would be.

Shaking off these slightly gloomy feelings, she gathered her energy and said, “These things are secondary. What I truly worry about is the recognition. Someone extracted the genes of the Adhesive Devouring Worm and forced them into that person’s genes, conducting some kind of experiment…”

Su Jiameng had heard of this experiment in her past life. However, it was unsuccessful and almost led to the destruction of the entire Human Alliance.

To obtain greater combat power to resist the Insect Race, some geneticists took a different approach and proposed to fuse the excellent genes of the Insect Race with those of human warriors, so that human warriors could also possess such powerful advantages and fighting skills.

At that time, the Human Alliance was being driven to exhaustion by the sudden emergence of the Insect Race, with battle lines being forced back step by step. After careful consideration, the higher-ups agreed to this experimental proposal. Initially, all participants in the experiment died, and some even transformed into the Insect Race.

As the research progressed and matured, some powerful warriors withstood the impacts and consumption caused by Insect Race genes, gaining unprecedented strength. Even many powerful Mind Power Users were helpless against these warriors.

Soon, with the maturation of the technology, more and more warriors, for the sake of war victory, chose to undergo genetic modification with Insect Race genes. One batch after another of fresh troops joined the battlefield, indeed having an immediate effect. The Insect Race’s might diminished, and they were even chased and beaten by those warriors at one point.

Three years later, the side effects manifested. The personalities of those warriors changed, becoming more or less gloomy and aggressive. This was not the most serious. At that time, a high-end Level Eight Insect from the Insect Race emerged, with telekinetic abilities infinitely approaching Level Nine. Upon appearing, it instantly controlled these warriors, turning them into weapons against the Human Alliance and other races resisting the Insect Race…

This story occurred a hundred years before Su Jiameng was born, but its impact was such that many people couldn’t bear to recall it. The geneticists who proposed the gene plan and all those involved in the research could not bear the torment within and most chose suicide, while a few were driven to mental collapse. Many controlled warriors were their relatives or even their only children…

If the Insect Race wreaked havoc and humans were left with no choice but to turn to genetic experiments, Su Jiameng wouldn’t have anything to say.

But now, have the Insect Race emerged? Have they attacked? Have they occupied countless planets? There’s not a shadow of them, and yet there’s a group of fools coveting Insect Race genes, attempting these forbidden experiments… “If you don’t seek death, you won’t die” truly is a wise saying.

Suddenly, Su Jiameng recalled the familiar mental wave she sensed earlier on the Cosmic Spaceship…

The thing that Li You and his team were escorting was likely an unawakened Insect Race, right? If so, could she surmise that someone was using the genes of that dormant Insect Race to conduct genetic experiments, trying to cultivate a batch of powerful warriors?

“Gene… experiments?” Guan Changxi frowned. In his intelligent brain’s database, there were naturally related records, but the results were all cruel and bloody, “People of this world… would actually actively provoke the Insect Race… it’s truly…”

Although Guan Changxi didn’t finish his sentence, Su Jiameng understood the unsaid words. The people of this plane are truly like newborn calves unafraid of tigers, utterly reckless, making one sigh in amazement.

Su Jiameng’s eyes flickered, her ethereal voice sounding particularly icy and piercing in this night, “Looking at that person’s appearance, the genetic experiment should have just started not too long ago. Maybe we still have a chance to stop it.”

According to her speculation, the Insect Race Li You and his team were escorting was merely the lowest end Adhesive Devouring Worm, and it was still dormant. As long as she could find and destroy it before the Adhesive Devouring Worm awakened and began a large-scale massacre and consumption of Qiming Star’s residents, there is still room for a turnaround.
