Chapter 503
In a top–notch laboratory built beneath all the sand of an uninhibited desert, the atmosphere was tense.
All the researchers in the laboratory were gathered in front of a cultivation vessel.
A naked and handsome man was lying in the culture solution within.
His eyes were closed and there were all kinds of instruments inserted into his body.
His soft hair floated in the culture solution.
Sharon stood in the middle of the crowd and stared at the man in the cultivation vessel with a burning gaze.
Her eyes were filled with nostalgia.
“Experimental subject 123, first attempt at waking.” A researcher pushed the instrument beside him.
As the instrument was slowly pushed, an electric current flowed into the man’s body through the wires.
However, the man in the culture solution appeared to be asleep and did not react at all.
“The first attempt failed. Let’s give it a second try,” the researcher continued.
The researcher increased the power.
However, there was still no reaction from the experimental subject inside the culture solution.
The researcher couldn’t help but look at Sharon, who had been silent and continued.
“Second attempt failed. Trying for a third time.
“Third attempt failed. Experimental subject 123 is pronounced a failure.”
As soon as he announced this, the researchers on the scene could not help but show a trace of regret.
After all, the goal of this experiment was to create the perfect experimental subject.
All of them originally thought that they would definitely succeed this time.
Unexpectedly, it had failed.
Everyone could not help but look at the silent Sharon.
They seemed to want to comfort her, but no one knew what to say.
“All of you can leave,” Sharon said firmly.
“Yes.” When the researchers heard this, they immediately turned around and left.
Only Sharon and the man in the cultivation vessel were left in the laboratory.
Sharon walked over slowly. Then, Sharon reached out and gently caressed the man’s face through the vessel.
“Lambert, why don’t you want to come back to me?
“I’ve been waiting for you for so long. Are you really unwilling to come back?
“Do you know how hard it is for me to live alone?
“You said you would take me to see the setting sun in the desert and the brilliant stars of the night sky.
“You said you want to cross mountains and rivers with me,
but you
have
yet to realize any of them.
“You’ve always kept your word. You haven’t done what you promised me. How can you not come back?”
Sharon’s voice was very low and filled with indescribable sadness.
Sharon had been in this laboratory for three years.
For the past three years, Sharon had been trying to revive Lambert.
Through technology, they had cloned one Lambert after another.
They even used the most advanced technology to transfer all the living memories of Lambert into the body of the experimental subjects.
However, this technology was not mature to begin with.
Even if Sharon had pursued it with much effort and had studied it painstakingly for so many years. they still did not manage to wake a single experimental subject.
However, Sharon was unwilling to give up!
“How could all evil people go around scots–free, but a good man like Lambert ended up this way?” Sharon thought furiously.
Sharon would not accept it!
She absolutely refused to!
She would definitely bring Lambert back!
Sharon took one last look at Lambert in the cultivation vessel in front of her.
Then, Sharon turned around and left the laboratory.
The researchers were still waiting outside the door.
“Destroy experimental subject 123, Sharon ordered expressionlessly.
“Yes!” the two researchers at the door immediately replied.
After Sharon left, they turned around and entered the laboratory.
They glanced at the man in the solution and felt a little heartache.
“Do you think we are disregarding human lives?” the first researcher, Caleb, said doubtfully.
“What do you mean by disregarding human life? This is just an experimental subject. The second researcher activated the destruction program without hesitation.
“But even if he’s an experimental subject, he’s still flesh and blood with vital signs.
“I have a feeling that we are being inhumane like this.” Caleb still couldn’t convince himself.
“Don’t think too much. These experimental subjects can’t be considered real humans at all.
“What’s more, the boss has given us such a high salary. We only need to follow the instructions given by the boss. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
*As for other things, they’re not something we should worry about.” The other researcher was very clear–headed.
These researchers were basically unsuccessful laboratory technicians elsewhere, doing the most work but paid the least.
Sometimes, they would even be pushed out to take the blame.
They could not even have their name credited under the research they had done.
They would also be hindered from success by powerful and influential people and could no longer work in the same industry.
Here, their annual salary was equivalent to ten years of their salary previously.
Moreover, the working environment was especially comfortable.
Although their boss always had a cold face, she never bullied them.
With such a good job, what was the point of caring about morals?
“But I still feel that success is difficult to achieve using this technology,” Caleb said in a low voice.
“That’s even better. We can get a few more years‘ pay.”
“But every time the experiment fails, the boss’s mood worsens.” There was a hint of sympathy in Caleb’s voice.
“Why do you care? Let me tell you, we’re employees. It’s a big taboo for an employee to pity the employer!” the second researcher lowered his voice and reminded Caleb..
“…I know.” Caleb lowered his head.
Seeing him like this, the second researcher knew that Caleb had other intentions.
“You’re just too soft–hearted. Don’t you know why the boss worked so hard on the experiment?
“There’s
no room for anyone else in her heart. Don’t waste your effort.
“All we have to do now is work hard and get more pay.
“After saving enough money, we can leave and return to our hometown. We can buy a house, marry a wife, and have a child.” The second researcher patted Caleb on his shoulder.
Alright.” Caleb nodded.
However, the emotions in the eyes of Caleb never melted.
After all, the human heart was the most uncontrollable.
Perhaps their boss didn’t even remember his name.
However, from the first time Caleb saw Sharon, he could not take his eyes off her.
