I Am Extraordinary Alone
Chapter 499 - 497: Expired Experiment

Chapter 499: Chapter 497: Expired Experiment

A lot of people will die.

There are currently 9 billion people on Earth, and the combined superpower special forces of all countries don’t exceed 50,000 people.

Among these 50,000 individuals, the Trinity makes up only a very small portion.

Moreover, the logistical organizations that sustain the arbitrary use of superpowers of these 50,000 people consume a colossal sum of money every year and, to have these 50,000 fortunate ones, there are phase after phase of Medicine People who die.

The superpower of the Heavenly Falling Objects is an unknown, and it is very possible that after thousands of Medicine People die, they might develop a worthless Black Medicine, leading to the shelving of the project and the disbandment of the team.

Thousands died in vain, the bodies of the Heavenly Falling Objects were burnt and destroyed, and the Black Medicine was diluted and discharged into the rivers and seas.

As for the pollution caused during production? That’s just "the price".

Wei Tianyang found that he couldn’t skip these steps that merely added to the loss.

By absorbing a Heavenly Falling Object, he could know what superpower it possessed, but doing so would also make the body of the Heavenly Falling Object disappear completely...

He didn’t need any more superpowers, for there were already hundreds of them forgotten in a corner inside his body, never once used.

At the moment, although Rada Gan was faithfully executing the plan, Wei Tianyang had already sensed deep within him a tension and resistance. It was necessary to appease him, but if he dared to betray, then death was his fate.

Wei Tianyang didn’t want it to come to that; from what he could see, Rada Gan’s reaction wasn’t extreme to that extent yet. He could understand Rada Gan; like Wei Tianyang, he had lain down on the injection table for various reasons, voluntarily, but people must always grow.

Johnny’s legacy wasn’t just the physical assets he left behind; his memories also brought many useful things to Wei Tianyang.

The foundation of Spencer and Leona wasn’t as simple as they claimed; it was merely half of the dawn of humanity, the other half having split away.

And Spencer himself held unrealistic hopes for Wei Tianyang and had gradually developed a sense of disappointment over the many years.

Wei Tianyang returned to his own room and swirled the ice cubes in his glass, the cold whiskey undulating.

The Human Linkage Plan Foundation undoubtedly had the world’s best Black Medicine research technology. Spencer and Leona had once wanted to collaborate with him, but what they wanted was to lead humanity into a brand new world under the guidance of a god.

But that world doesn’t exist because current humanity, even if all were Trinities, are no match for the stars in the sky.

In the New World, there is no place for people.

Having a superpower, being able to grow continuously, and being able to break free from the dependence on the neutralizing agent are the minimum requirements.

Yet, in freeing themselves from the dependency on neutralizers, they hit an iron door.

At the current level of human technology, this is an impossibility. Just as a cellphone requires a battery, humans controlling an external organ that is not their own must fight against rejection reactions.

Neutralizers were precisely invented to help humans overcome such problems, but in Wei Tianyang’s view, they are shackles.

If he really could achieve this, he would undoubtedly be propelling the human evolutionary process forward with his own strength.

Humans have not evolved significantly for thousands of years; in fact, it might be said that human evolution has virtually stopped. Under the earth’s current environmental conditions, the human body and intelligence are the optimal solutions, and so the body has autonomously ceased such evolution.

Wei Tianyang put down the glass...

Optimal solution...

Stopped evolution because, under the current environment, humans are the optimal solutions...

What if, humans are put into a completely new environment... into an environment filled with crises, to restart the bodily evolution...

The first thing Wei Tianyang thought of was objective reality.

Once, he had taken several ordinary people in there, and without exception, they all showed immense psychological stress.

The only people who could safely exist within objective reality were the soldiers of the Superpower Special Department, and even they couldn’t stay inside for long. If they did, they’d start feeling unwell.

Wei Tianyang paced around the room, thinking while he drank.

Baphomet, already aware of his plan, seemed to nod approvingly. It blew a breath and transmitted a message, "Thinking over and over again is useless. There are still some empty rooms in the hotel. You might as well give it a try."

Wei Tianyang looked at Baphomet and smiled.

In the following days, he drove around the streets, picking up three beggars.

The youngest was just over thirty, the oldest nearly sixty—all of them black and all alone, with no family ties.

Wei Tianyang took them back to the hotel, had them washed and changed into new clothes, and let them eat and drink their fill. Then he had Starbucks clear out the neighboring room and locked the three beggars inside.

Of course, it was the objective reality version of the room.

There was no one inside the room, but only by entering objective reality could one see the three down-on-their-luck souls who thought they’d struck it big shivering in a world bathed in crimson.

In that presidential suite, there was no worry about food or drink. Wei Tianyang personally delivered their meals and along with Baphomet, assessed their condition.

The experiment lasted 12 days, much longer than he had anticipated.

At first, upon entering objective reality, the three men exhibited the psychological stress he’d expected—heart palpitations, shaking, curling up in a corner, scared to move, difficulty moving, panting.

But after half an hour—and it must be said the human body’s adaptability is truly formidable—they actually reverted to normal, even displaying a slight state of excitement, eating and drinking unaffected.

This condition continued for five days straight. Wei Tianyang would chat with them every noon and evening and provided books for entertainment; of course, he rejected their requests for female company.

On the sixth day, as he was delivering dinner, the one in his thirties died suddenly.

He performed an autopsy on the man and found nothing unusual; he even searched for the man’s spirit but could never locate it.

The other two beggars said that he had just been dozing off in bed, and then he suddenly died, with no signs of anything wrong beforehand.

Due to the man’s death, the remaining two beggars grew fearful and wanted to leave, exhibiting the same symptoms they had when they first entered objective reality: heart palpitations, shaking, curling up in a corner, scared to move, difficulty moving, panting...

On the seventh day, the nearly sixty-year-old also died suddenly.

Only the 47-year-old beggar was left.

He became hysterical, began threatening Wei Tianyang, and displayed self-harming behaviors.

Wei Tianyang, wanting to continue his observation, tied him up.

He remained alive until the ninth day, when he became quiet, the whites of his eyes began turning black, and his pupils became unfocused, though he still showed signs of life.

Until the eleventh day, the last beggar was brain-dead and turned into a ’Medicine Person.’

This Medicine Person stood beside the bed, next to his own body, stiff in movement, expressionless. As he turned to look at Wei Tianyang, although his mouth didn’t move, a "gurgle" sound came from his throat...

Wei Tianyang saw that his eyes were pitch black, with no eyeballs, and for some reason, his eye sockets had taken on the shape of inverted crescents.

He suddenly remembered that he had seen such a ’Medicine Person’ at an abandoned Tiantai Pharmaceutical containment site in the past! (Chapter 94)

So this is what ’Medicine People’ who died in objective reality looked like?

He suddenly realized something else: Could it be that Tiantai Pharmaceutical had already been researching this back in 2106?!

Realizing this, Wei Tianyang immediately turned and left. He wanted to find Ruan Yu and get to the bottom of it!
