At the instant the King Bat appeared, the superpower in Ding Ning’s mind suddenly tremored and formed a frequency like that of an electrocardiogram which automatically imitated the King Bat’s soundwaves. This allowed him to immediately grasp the bat’s language and communicate with him. This was what caused the King Bat to abandon Chu Yunna and leap into his arms.
This matter was too shocking. Ding Ning’s did not know if this was only effective toward the King Bat or if it was effective on other animals as well. He felt very surprised and his heart was filled with precaution.
If others found out that he had the power to talk to animals, would he not be taken away and cut up like a lab mouse?
Chu Yunna and Ling Fei were not suspicious of him. They congratulated Ding Ning with joy in their hearts. Ling Fei knew very well how incredible the power to tame wild animals was.
If not for this special ability of Chu Yunna, it would have been impossible for them to have escaped from the hands of the mysterious organization in the first place.
The blood-sucking bat army, the group of crocodiles, the army ants, the group of wild wolves… Chu Yunna took control of the leader of these animal armies and that became their biggest guarantee in escaping.
In the mysterious organization, Chu Yunna was highly respected and was given the nickname “King Blood Beast”.
This confused Ding Ning greatly. Since the mysterious organization could create Chu Yunna, who could communicate with wild beasts, then they should be able to create more of these superpowered people.
Ling Fei laughed bitterly and answered Ding Ning’s question. “Although the purpose of the gene medication is similar, each person’s genes are different and thus the effects of the changes are different. Putting aside the terrifying failure rate of gene mutations, even if two or more people survive taking the same kind of gene medication, the powers they develop would be very different. Some might change into active battle types, some might become support battle types, and some might develop useless mutations, such as growing a useless tail or an extra eye. In other words, Yunna is one of the rare mutations. Although her battle power is not strong, it is very practical and could be said to be unique. Even if the mysterious organization wanted to create another Yunna, the chances of it are essentially zero.”
Ding Ning immediately understood. Each person’s genetics was different. Even for blood relations like mothers, fathers, and siblings, the changes they develop after consuming the gene medication would not be the same.
Just like in the case Shen Muyang and Shen Muqing. Although they were twins, Shen Muyang was naturally healthier while Shen Muqing was born with heart problems. This was caused by slight variations in their genetic makeup.
“What kind of superpowers has this mysterious organization created?”
Ding Ning was very curious about this mysterious organization that was able to change human kind’s DNA and allow them to have superpowers. If the purpose of this was to advance mankind, it would be understandable and excusable. However, they had greater ambitions and had no regard for the sanctity of human life. They treated humans as lab rats and performed live experiments on them. This made it impossible for him to tolerate them.
Know yourself and know your enemy, and one shall never be defeated. Ding Ning had already determined that this mysterious organization was an evil that must be removed. However, his power was insufficient and he needed time to accumulate it.
“This mysterious organization should have existed for many years. When I was first brought in, almost all of the experimental subjects were people of European descent and there were very few of Asian descent. But in recent years, they found that the strong-bodied Asians had a higher rate of survival in the experiments and were more able to adapt to the genetic medication and so they put the bulk of their interest on the Asian subjects. Unfortunately, this organization is overly mysterious. As far as I know, this laboratory in the American continent is only the tip of the iceberg. They must have similar laboratories in Europe, Africa, and other continents. I’m not sure if there’s on in Asia.”
A glimmer of anger appeared on Ling Fei’s face. “But according to my estimation, even if Asia doesn’t have a laboratory at the moment, one will be quickly constructed. Although there hasn’t been any major break through the genetic medication these few years, they have had some results. Currently, the most commonly seen are battle orientated superpowers. Some can change limbs in weapons like blades and guns, some have super powerful defense mechanisms so that even bullets cannot pierce through. I’ve seen a person who could turn their body into metal, a common bullet would not be able to hurt him at all.”
“Most despicably, this organization doesn’t treat humans like humans and have forcefully integrated wild animal genes into human genes, changing them into monsters. There are werewolves, werelions, weretigers, werebats, werecats, werefoxes, and others. Their appearance is both terrifying and pitiful.”
Chu Yunna interrupted with righteous anger. Her lips pouted, like a bullied girl complaining to a teacher, and she was very cute.
A cold light flashed through Ding Ning’s eyes and he cursed in a low and angry voice, “They’re truly a group of animals who have lost of conscience. One day, I will completely uproot this evil organization.”
A strange light flashed through Ling Fei’s eyes and the corners of his mouth twitched. But in the end, he did not say anything and it dissolved into a long sigh.
He had seen the horror and strength of the mysterious organization. It was a terrifying power that was in no way weaker than a strong nation and was not something that could be challenged by a single person.
Although Ding Ning had healed his DNA miraculously, he still did not believe he had to strength to challenge the mysterious organization.
Perhaps, that evil organization could only be completely destroyed if all the powerful warriors hidden away came out in force.
“Uncle Ling, what are your plans?”
Ding Ning gave them the bio-emulated skin and taught them how to use it then turned the conversation back to the main topic.
Ling Fei hesitated then sincerely asked, “I can’t leave this place for now. I’ve told you before, when Yunna and I first escaped the laboratory, someone aided us in secret. From returning to Ninghai and finding somewhere to settle, he helped us in secret through all of it. However, he is under the control of the mysterious organization. They’ve put a bomb in his head, if he betrays them, he will explode. Each time he comes to Ninghai, he would always come to visit us in secret and give us some money. It is only because of this that we have survived until now. You are a talented doctor. Do you have any confidence in removing the bomb in his brain?”
“Of course I can. Since you have been able to hide here for three years without issue, it means that his heart was with you and was truly helping you. Naturally, I will help him. Do you know what type of bomb it is? Where is it located? I can only know whether I can remove it once I’ve inspected him in person.”
Ding Ning spoke straightforward but did not make any extravagant promises. After all, given the mysterious organization’s technological ability, they knew the human body like the back of their hands. If they had installed some kind of pulse related bomb, he would not dare to perform the surgery. While saving people was important, he had to act within his skill. He would not lose his own life for the sake of some stranger.
“Hm, you’re right. He has always worked for that organization under duress and I’m not sure when he will come to Ninghai. We have no way of contacting each other so I can only stay here and wait for him.”
Ling Fei spoke reasonably.
Ding Ning’s expression changed. “He knows about this underground cave?”
“He doesn’t know. He only knows about the courtyard on top. In fact, it was he who spent the money to find someone who bought it with my forged identity. I found this underground cave when I was secretly digging out a basement.”
Ling Fei shook his head. “He has never come here before. Each time he comes to Ninghai, he leaves a message at the gate of the courtyard then I meet him in secret.”
Ding Ning’s eyes lit up. He was just looking for somewhere to plant the precious medicinal herbs he had brought back from the primitive forest. The courtyard outside was in the western suburbs and in a desolate area, the perfect place to plant.
He spoke to Ling Fei about this matter with the excuse of planting some medicinal herbs. Of course, there would have to be some changes to create a man-made tropical forest enviroment.
“No problem, mine and Yunna’s lives were both saved by you, you can do whatever you like. I’m no longer afraid of light and can help you look after it.”
Ling Fei did not suspect him and agreed without hesitation. He even gave Ding Ning a surprise. “If the space isn’t large enough, all of the courtyards in this cul-de-sac can be used. They all belong to me in name and now I gift them to you.”
“Really? Thanks so much!”
Ding Ning was immediately overjoyed. There were four homes in this cul-de-sac and they were all about the same size as this one. He just had to open up doors in the courtyard walls and there would be four medicinal gardens.
He quickly understood why the person helping Ling Fei had bought all four courtyards. After all, Ling Fei and Chu Yunna could not stand sunlight and could only move around at night.
The neighbors would naturally grow suspicious if no longer appeared in the courtyard for a long time. By buying four courtyards, this risk was greatly reduced. After all, many people bought houses in the western suburbs and waited to receive compensation when they were torn down.
If not for the fact that this place was too far from the center of the city, Ding Ning would have liked to live here.
Chu Yunna, who had used the bio-emulating skin to disguise herself, was happily and loudly saying she wanted to go eat breakfast with Ding Ning. Ling Fei voluntarily stayed behind to keep watch.
With great difficulty, they flagged down a vehicle and went to downtown to find a place to eat breakfast, all this made Ding Ning feel very moved.
A woman’s love of beauty does not change. Even though Chu Yunna was not as beautiful after her disguise, the number of heads she turned was still scary. Of course, her odd appearance in slightly over-sized men’s clothing was one of the reasons.
After all, Ding Ning had not brought clothes and could only wear Ling Fei’s clothes.
All along the way, Chu Yunna was fascinated by everything and she stared around like she did not have eyes to use, like a curious baby. Ding Ning could not help but feel a pang in his heart. For three years, she had lived like a mouse in a dark hole underground, it had been a hard life for this child.
Thus, after he found a construction team, explained the requirements, and paid the deposit, he then went to the express hotel to pick up his luggage and check out. Following this, he put his things into the courtyard in the western suburbs, notified Ling Fei and then took Chu Yunna on a massive shopping spree even though he did not like to shop.
It had to be said, shopping was an innate part of a woman’s nature. Before noon rolled around, Chu Yunna already had dozens of bags of clothing, shoes, and hats in her hands.
It was not that Ding Ning did not want to help her carry it, instead, Chu Yunna refused to allow him to do so, saying that he was her master and it was unheard of for a master to carry things for the servant.
Alright, for the sake of the tens of thousands of dollars that had evaporated from his bank card, Ding Ning, under the despising gazes of passers-by, walked with his hands behind his back and played the role of Huan Shiren for once.
Fortunately, the little servant girl found her conscience and, generous with another’s money, brought him an outfit worth over 200 dollars so that he could finally change out of Ling Fei’s clothing, which had been too short and looked very funny.
After receiving a call from Xiao Nuo to have lunch together, this shopping trip finally came to an end.
The little servant girl was indeed very obedient. Ding Ning flagged a car for her, paid for it, then sent her happily back to the western suburbs.
“I’ve fixed the car for you. If you’re not satisfied, I’ll buy you a new one.”
The moment they met up outside the designated Starbucks, Xiao Nu threw the car key to him.
Ding Ning walked around the Land Rover and could not tell that it had once been repaired. He cracked a satisfied smile. “I’m not picky, as long as my friend is alright with it, it’s fine.”
“Take me out for lunch!”
When Xiao Nuo said this, a shy expression appeared touchingly on their bare face.
Ding Ning pulled at his mouth. “Why am I taking you out to eat instead of you taking me out to eat?”
