Chapter 568: Chapter 566 Blind Spot

Wei Tianyang didn’t return to his room, instead he headed to the basement of the hotel.

His room’s wall had been blown out by a punch of his and was under repairs. Although Wei Tianyang could certainly manipulate the earth to mend the wall, it was clear that he was a wallpaperer, not a decorator. Since it was part of the hotel, it would be better for professionals to fix it properly and neatly.

Traitors had emerged in Kadi Port, causing the whaling ships’ human trafficking to be discovered, and the offshore drilling platform had been infiltrated by the council. These were all trivial episodes, not even hurdles. Wei Tianyang had transferred all the Heavenly Falling Objects’ corpses and solutions into objective reality, and had personally dismantled that drilling platform.

The drug research data was deliberately left behind by him as bait to hook Spencer.

He would always find a way to get this data from the council’s hands.

Now, drug research had come to a standstill, even with the inclusion of McGon and Dali Lebb’s flesh and blood. It only solved the problem of multiple superpowers and yet, due to the mix of various Black Medicines, the original ability of live food supplies to grant people multiple limbs had been neutralized.

Wei Tianyang couldn’t say he was satisfied with the current progress. The dependence on antidotes had been overcome, as well as multiple abilities, only generating a new side effect: short lifespan. That was it...

But this side effect simply didn’t exist in objective reality. In a sense, it was still a success, although there were aspects that left him less than satisfied.

New Black Medicine could grant humans 12 kinds of superpowers. Wei Tianyang had originally selected abilities like flight, enhanced strength, steel transformation, control of earth, control of water, control of air, control of flames, control of steel, all practical above all.

But heaven does not cater to human wishes—not all Black Medicines could merge and take effect. Therefore, among the 12 abilities that the current version of Black Medicine provided, half were junk.

Such as changing skin color, tongues with reverse barbs, hair hardening, farts containing toxins...

It was downright laughable.

Therefore, the research still had to continue. All research teams and the Heavenly Falling Objects’ corpses had been transferred to within the borders of Etolia. In the center of Felda City, there was a gleaming black building that once belonged to a multinational corporation. Yet since Wei Tianyang wanted it, before the President could even speak, the company’s board took the initiative to evacuate all staff, emptying the building within two days.

Now, in that black building, research on Black Medicine was conducted, maintaining a consistency inside and out.

After returning to the hotel, Wei Tianyang briefly stayed for a moment, as Rada Gan had just completed arranging the next batch of Medicine People’s origins and restlessly sat in his new office, spinning a fidget spinner.

When Wei Tianyang walked into the office, Rada Gan showed no surprise; after all, the surveillance camera had already caught him.

"The current Black Medicine still has flaws. There should be news about the new version," Wei Tianyang said.

Rada Gan showed a troubled expression, saying, "I’ve seen the reports, new results will come out soon, but before that, the rivers within Etolia will be dyed black by us."

"So-called new humans can’t have just a few months to live. Dyeing one river black is nothing in comparison," Wei Tianyang said.

"There’s a more troublesome situation I haven’t told you about yet," Rada Gan put down the spinner, his demeanor becoming serious.

"There’s something more troublesome?" Wei Tianyang laughed.

"I might not have told you before, even these Medicine People who can only live for a few months, are one in ten thousand survivors," Rada Gan said.

"I thought this version had flaws but was absolutely safe," Wei Tianyang said.

"Our medicine is quite selective. Most Medicine People die on the operating table. For the current life-shortening version, 460,000 have already died... We are literally using people as consumables," Rada Gan said.

"460,000 people..." Wei Tianyang was also somewhat surprised.

Could those two whaling ships carry so many people? He hadn’t bothered with the specifics of the previous experiments and was just waiting for the results. In just two and a half years, 460,000 had died?

But that wasn’t too many when you think about it. Pharmaceuticals worldwide kill far more people each year, and those companies are making war machines. What he wanted was the advancement of humanity, which was incomparable.

"A small war between countries kills far more than this. We are following a great cause; don’t let trivial compassion distract you; minor good and evil are meaningless," Wei Tianyang said.

"It’s not that I’m moved by compassion; it’s just that I did some simple math..." Rada Gan said.

"With a global population of nearly ten billion, people die every moment for a variety of reasons, and even more, babies are born; there’s no need to worry," Wei Tianyang said.

"You might see the bigger picture, but what I’m saying is, out of the ten billion, the elderly account for 70%, and this year, new births worldwide are less than 100 million. We are in an era of aging and low birth rates. And of the remaining 30%, how many are our enemies?" Rada Gan said.

"Maybe..." Wei Tianyang suddenly realized something as Rada Gan spoke.

His mind was enlightened.

Black Medicine comes from celestial immortals; mortal beings are inherently flawed by nature. Forcibly combining them, like attaching tiger claws to ants, was bound to be unsustainable.

Previously, he had been trapped in inertia of thought, partly because he lacked an understanding of biological engineering and had to leave it to professionals; on the other hand, subconsciously, he had always assumed the new humans would still appear as the current humans do.

For humans to evolve into a higher species while maintaining their current form might be unrealistic, just as a caterpillar must turn to liquid inside its cocoon before it can emerge as a butterfly. Perhaps humans also needed to return to a "cocoon"...

To break the limitations of DNA, to recombine oneself into a new person.

Wei Tianyang’s look of sudden realization alerted Rada Gan to a potential danger. Rada Gan knew that Wei Tianyang’s new ideas might mean the death of a multitude of people.

Wei Tianyang didn’t reveal too much and hurriedly turned away.

The first thing he thought of was Fujiwara Makoto’s uterus.

That huge uterus had given birth to numerous defective aberrations. Initially, Wei Tianyang had examined those aberrations and found that they could not help his research into new Black Medicine, so he left them in the hotel’s upper objective reality to keep Fujiwara Makoto company as she played house.

He had been focused on the wrong thing all along; it was the uterus that was most useful.

Wei Tianyang quickly went down to the hotel basement where the huge uterus was still sealed in the container. Because the nutritional fluid hadn’t been replaced, the old liquid had become viscous, and without a supply of nutrients, the uterus no longer birthed new aberrations.

He looked at the strange external organ through the glass cover, swirls of thoughts tumbling through his mind.
