Chapter 485
"You don't seem to be very happy with the regulations here, Subject Number 77."
What a petty man.
I stared at the doctor coldly and remained silent. I didn't even deserve my own name here.
"You should take a look at the system I've established." He lifted his hand and pointed at the pod next to mine.
The staff member released the subject inside. It was a beautiful woman.
As if she was a hollow shell, the woman walked toward the doctor.
"Kneel," he said in a low voice.
The woman didn't hesitate at all. She immediately knelt down next to his feet.
He flashed me a smile like he was bragging. However, it also served as a warning. It implied that I should be just as obedient, like some kind of dog...
"You're disgusting." I smiled in response. "Men like you are probably at the lowest of lows in society, right?
"Are you only here looking for some sort of validation because you couldn't get any in the outside world? Do you know what they call people like you? Trash."
My provocation angered him, and his expression darkened. He pressed the button outside of the pod with a twisted smile.
"I'll show you that I'm in charge here."
All of a sudden, ice-cold water began pouring down from the top.
Subsequently, he turned on the air-conditioning of the pod...
My entire body was shivering. I slammed my fists against the walls in anger, but my efforts were futile. The staff member was mildly nervous. "Dr. Alan, she's... a subject that the higher-ups told us to look after specifically. If something were to happen to her, that'd make things difficult for us..."
My body temperature went out of balance in an instant. My body stiffened, and I fell to the ground. A burning sensation spread across my skin.
After the hypothermia kicked in, I didn't feel cold anymore. Instead, I felt like I was being burned alive.
The devil stood outside watching, waiting for me to beg for mercy.
"Watch her temperature. As long as her life isn't in danger, let her stay freezing. Cut the air-conditioning when she learns how to beg for mercy..." the doctor instructed.
"Steven..." My consciousness became scattered at the brink of death, and my brain replayed the image I wanted to see the most.
Steven...
I couldn't die.Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
I couldn't possibly leave him behind again—I couldn't!
Suddenly, a siren began blaring. My heart rate started to become erratic.
My electrocardiogram flatlined.
The staff members were horrified. They pressed the control panel in a panic and frantically opened the door to the pod.
Alan was stunned as well. He didn't expect me to be this fragile. "Open the door and start CPR. Get her heart rate back up. Sodium bicarbonate! Hurry!"
The machine was still blaring. Shoving the staff members aside, the doctor rushed in and gave me CPR himself.
His panic calmed me. The truth serum hadn't made me lose my value after all.
He didn't dare to let me die.
All of a sudden, a pained scream rang out across the pod. I had pinned Alan below me in one swift
movement and pressed my fingers against his eyeballs, slowly increasing the pressure.
He was struggling against me, screaming violently. Blood started seeping out.
I shot a look of warning at the staff members who were rushing in.
"Tell the person in charge of the lab that I want to see her!" I growled. I wanted to see Nancy. My guess was she was the one in charge of this laboratory.
Alan wanted to free himself from my grip, but he didn't dare to anger me.
"Don't move, or I'll dig out your eyeballs. You should know pretty well that the orgnization won't kill a
valuable subject like me over a doctor like you..." I threatened him in a low voice.
Then, I looked at the experimental subject that was still kneeling outside. "You, get up!"
She didn't seem like she was listening to me.
The doctor laughed maniacally. "They only listen to me."
