The legs extending from the womb slowly trembled, moving through the nutrient fluid, about as long as an adult’s arm, yet as thick as a section of a clothes pole, covered in pitch-black bones with strands of red blood vessels and nerves attached; the tiny feet resembled chicken claws with only four sharp toes, nothing like human feet.
Professor Li Xianping hurried to a nearby instrunt to check the readings, while Lin Yan quickly recalled the specific type of "Black dicine" she had added to the womb before.
The human birthing process was not complicated, but the sight of a gigantic external womb birthing in nutrient fluid was extrely rare in the world.
Just 50 seconds later, the two watched as the slender creature slipped out of the womb and subrged itself into the nutrient fluid.
It was a deford fetus, nearly 50 centiters tall, with thin limbs and a head resembling a goose egg enlarged four tis. Its short body, compared to its slender limbs, seed extrely disproportionate.
After sliding out of the womb, it curled into a ball in the nutrient fluid without moving. Two round holes on its smooth, egg-like head lit up with purple halos, which Lin Yan guessed were its pupils.
Lin Yan pressed her hands against the glass do, examining the newborn deformity. She knocked on the glass wall and greeted it.
"Hey, little guy! Can you see ?" Lin Yan said.
However, Professor Li Xianping pulled Lin Yan away from the cultivator. At the sa ti, a high-frequency alarm sounded in the laboratory.
"What’s wrong?" Lin Yan was puzzled.
"The Black dicine levels in this thing are off the charts! This tank can’t hold it!" Professor Li Xianping warned.
They had just run out of the laboratory when two teams of ard security guards had already filled the corridor.
"What kinds of Black dicine did you mix in there?" asked Professor Li Xianping.
"I mixed in so from the Lingxian Sect..." Lin Yan replied.
As soon as she finished speaking, the sound of the tank shattering echoed from the laboratory.
"Initiate Level 1 protocol," the security captain ordered.
They threw two tear gas grenades into the lab and then, wearing tic barrier masks and smoke goggles, charged inside.
Professor Li Xianping leaned against the wall as the electromagnetic door shut with a whoosh. A puff of smoke drifted out; Lin Yan choked on a few breaths and her face contorted.
Seconds later, rapid gunfire echoed from inside the lab.
Lin Yan grew anxious and stood up to press the button for the electronic door. Professor Li Xianping grabbed her, urgently asking, "What are you doing?!"
"They’re going to destroy the womb!" Lin Yan said.
Lin Yan broke free from Professor Li Xianping’s grasp and opened the door.
The gunfire ceased, the lights on the ceiling flickered, and the walls were riddled with bullet holes. The guards lay in pools of blood; one of them, clutching his abdon, walked toward her. Eventually, his strength gave out and he grabbed a large server beside him, pulling it down as he collapsed to the floor.
The central tank in the room was shattered, nutrient fluid flowed to Lin Yan’s feet. She scanned the area for the womb and fetus but, observing the bullet holes around, realized that the direction of the bullets seed incorrect.
If these guards had opened fire, they wouldn’t have aid towards the door.
At that mont, Professor Li Xianping also entered the room.
"Lin Yan?" he asked cautiously.
"I didn’t find it, the womb is also missing," Lin Yan turned around, speaking softly.
After she spoke, she looked at the viscous nutrient fluid and bloodstains on the floor under the flickering light and saw a series of bloody four-fingered footprints that circled around several servers, heading to the deepest part of the room.
Lin Yan followed the footprints, and although Li Xianping originally wanted to call out to her, curiosity got the best of him, and he tiptoed after her.
She found the deepest corner of the lab where, in a shadow created by piled-up lab equipnt, a humanoid figure sat on the floor. Six purple-colored automatic rifle illusions floated in mid-air, and in the darkness, a pair of purple eyes glowed like ghostly fires.
Lin Yan, sowhat excited, crouched down and reached out both hands towards those eyes, saying, "Co here, co."
The deford child erged from the shadow, holding a gigantic womb in its hands, and shouted at Lin Yan: "Mom."
...
After that day, this womb continuously gave birth to deford infants, producing 12 deford children in just half a year.
Lin Yan, with her research on the external womb and its deford offspring, quickly rose through the ranks, leaving Li Xianping far behind.
These infants possessed a superpower similar to Fujiwara Makoto’s Illusion Creation; however, their abilities would degrade over ti until completely lost. Their intelligence level was comparable to human infants, but they could be taught and inherently knew how to speak, a rare trait indeed.
To conveniently na them, based on the unconscious moaning sounds from the first deford child’s dreams, Lin Yan nad them "Yasla."
As more Yaslas were born, there had been suggestions to dispose of so of them, but for certain considerations, Lin Yan found it more appropriate to keep them all. Therefore, in the research facility, she set aside a large area to house these deford children, which also facilitated comparison with future data samples.
Depending on the mixture of sperm and Black dicine, the Yaslas’ abilities varied in strength. The strongest could achieve a level comparable to Fujiwara Makoto within two weeks, while the weakest had no superpowers at all...
Moreover, Lin Yan discovered that no matter what type of Black dicine was mixed in, their abilities showed no change; they could only manifest superpowers identical to Fujiwara Makoto’s.
But Lin Yan also made an astonishing discovery—that they seed immune to certain superpowers!
She had sent several Trinities to conduct tests, and those superpowers that could instantaneously create elents or directly control an individual completely failed on the Yaslas.
They only feared those superpowers that produced effects indirectly, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, or physical contact after turning into Iron Man, etc.
Since the Yaslas still possessed Fujiwara Makoto’s Illusion Creation abilities within just two or three weeks, and since they could infinitely be born from the womb after being mixed with sperm, they were practically perfect disposable items...
The upper echelons were tempted and wanted to use the Yasla army against Wei Tianyang.
When Lin Yan heard this news, she had a mont of realization, understanding Professor Li Xianping’s feelings from earlier. In the past two years, she had gradually distanced herself from her old ntor. Her rapid rise had moved her out of the small lab they once shared. Now, she owned her building, her team had expanded to thousands of people, and the entire building’s underground was filled with Yasla containnt rooms.
These deford children were like her own; she watched them being born and personally taught them how to dress and eat. Although they weren’t her offspring, after living together for over two years, she had grown emotionally attached to them.
Sending them to kill Wei Tianyang... no matter how she thought about it, it was an irrational act.
And just when Lin Yan was feeling down, an urgent mission unexpectedly arrived, disrupting the plan.
She was called to the office by the chairman, and in front of five administrators, she received a top-secret mission.
A satellite had captured a Heavenly Falling Object that could control ti, active around Heiside State. Lin Yan was to investigate under the assistance of the United Council, and retrieve it before Wei Tianyang could.
