Chapter 545 - - First Contact with the Hill People_3

—————✧✧✧✧—————

However, the Hill person charging at him was slapped to the ground by Duge.

Then.

The armed and panicking research staff, upon witnessing this scene, froze on the spot, staring at Lin Hong as if they had seen a ghost.

The Hill person that Duge had knocked to the ground suddenly sprang up, abandoned Zheng Cheng, and thrust a tentacle-like knife straight towards Duge’s throat, while another tentacle aimed for his temple.

Duge raised his hand to block, kicked out with his foot, and, striking with the later action before the earlier, kicked the Hill person back into the laboratory he had just smashed into.

A mouthful of green blood sprayed from his mouth; he struggled twice but couldn’t stand up, his eyes terror-stricken as he looked towards the nonchalantly standing Duge: “Impossible, who are you? Green Star people can’t possibly have such formidable bodies?”

Zheng Cheng snapped back to reality, looking incredulously at Lin Hong beside him, and swallowed hard: “Junior Brother Lin, you…”

“Previously Green Star people indeed didn’t have such formidable bodies, but now they do,” Duge said, ignoring the nearby Zheng Cheng as he stepped into the laboratory, looking down at the Hill person. “We should thank you for squeezing out our potential.”

“Impossible, without the corresponding Cultivation Technique to temper the body, potential will only deplete your life,” the Hill person said. “Your genetic technology is flawed in various ways; you can only create a bunch of monsters, it’s impossible to be successful.”

Outside the laboratory.

The group of genetic scientists, upon hearing this, all suddenly turned very pale.

But then, their gazes fell on Duge who was confronting the Hill person, and their eyes lit up again.

There were even some who subconsciously licked their lips, looking at Duge as if he were an exceptionally beautiful woman.

“Then how do you explain my existence?” Duge laughed. “What you see here is only what we want you to see. Just stay here in peace, it won’t be long before more of your kind will come to keep you company.”

“Impossible, you must be lying,” the Hill person roared hysterically. “No civilization can leapfrog in development.”

Duge looked at him with pity, turned, and walked away, naturally ordering: “Find someone to reinforce this room. If he tries to practice, interrupt him immediately.”

“Yes,” a few researchers, finding nothing wrong with Duge’s command, responded and carefully entered the laboratory. They shackled the Hill person’s tentacles with cuffs made from an unknown material, then used electricity to knock him unconscious, loaded him onto a cart, and took him to another laboratory.

At that moment.

An old man, around the same age as Director Zhong, came up to Duge, his gaze intense as he looked at Duge and then turned towards Zheng Cheng: “Zheng Cheng, who is this?”

“Director Wang, this is Lin Hong, also known as ‘Kill One Every Ten Steps,’ the Imperial University student who improved the mecha technology,” Zheng Cheng said, glancing at Duge with caution.

“So it’s you,” Director Wang’s eyes lit up; he looked Duge up and down excitedly. “I’ve always said that with an ordinary person’s physique, it’s impossible to control the Sea Swallow to perform such difficult maneuvers. Young man, which organization do you belong to? How far has your organization progressed in genetic research? Are those superheroes outside associated with you?”

“Director Wang, don’t set your sights on me,” Duge smiled, glancing at the earnest old man, “Even if you drained all the blood from my body, you would not be able to thoroughly understand the technology within me. Besides, I’m here to study spaceships, not to be studied by you.”

“Tell me, who did the genetic modification for you?” Director Wang asked eagerly.

“A higher civilization,” Duge smiled. “Director, it won’t be long before you all find out what’s going on. When the time comes, I will send you a batch of people for you to research. If you can thoroughly study their bodies, maybe you really can advance Green Star’s genetic technology by leaps and bounds.”

“Like you?” Director Wang asked.

“More or less!” Duge glanced at him and said, “But before that, you can put your genetic research on hold. That Hill person was right; your research level is too backward, not keeping up with the times, maybe not even able to create monsters…”
