I slay demons and monsters in a bizarre city.

Chapter 79 Jiaoren
Zhou Lei is a complete waste, utterly useless. Before, with the glory of being a national champion and having awakened the bloodline of an ancient martial artist, Gu Chao thought Zhou Lei could be of great use.

First, he was nearly killed by Li Changgeng's punch, and then he was completely crushed by Li Changgeng in the Undead Swamp. As for his usually arrogant bodyguards, they were all good-for-nothings. Gu Chao sensed danger and decided to replace his bodyguards. As for Zhou Lei, he was just a plaything.

After Zhou Lei was drugged and left the Undead Swamp, Gu Chao had this crazy idea: to fuse Zhou Lei's bloodline genes with those of the Black Dragon, which would create a terrifying monster.

PPLN Bio-Gene Manufacturing Company has researched many bio-engineered humans, but the main focus of this company is the study of ancient organisms. The research on the fusion of humans and monsters has been the company's mission since its inception.

Gu Chao's father was a mad scientist. He loved new things, new phenomena, new life, and even wanted to break the reproductive barrier between humans and other animals in his lifetime. This was the grand goal that PPLN Biogene Manufacturing Company had always wanted to achieve: to break the genetic lock and create a more wild and unrestrained multi-species ecological environment.

"It can't fail!" After the bald doctor pressed the button, the machine did not respond; it was very quiet, with no lights or sounds.

"Actually, Mr. Gu Chao, there is a way to guarantee 100% success, but it requires the chairman's permission."

The chairman the bald scientist was referring to was naturally Gu Chao's father, the founder of PPLN, a very mysterious figure whom the general public had basically never met or seen on the news or television.

"Is there any difference?" Gu Chao watched with great interest as the blood flowed through the IV tube connecting Zhou Lei and the giant dragon's head. Gu Chao was an ancient martial artist; human blood was red, while the black dragon's blood was black, as black as ink. Now, the two types of blood were merging and flowing in the concave part of the IV tube. This was the first step in exchanging blood.

"There is a life-saving drug! It's very expensive, costing 3 million yuan per vial. It can strengthen a person's muscles and bones, and also improve the utilization of the human brain."

The bald scientist stretched out his palm, his chubby five fingers spreading wide. "The average utilization rate of the human brain is only about 8%. After injecting the life-giving drug, it will increase by at least 5%, or even more."

“No problem. If anything goes wrong, I’ll take responsibility. Give Zhou Lei this life-saving potion!” Gu Chao was even more excited. If he could turn Zhou Lei into an immortal warrior and make him his own, he could enjoy more and more exciting killing games at night.

"Oh, Mr. Gu, to unlock the life potion, we need the chairman's gene sequence, but I..." The bald scientist was in a dilemma; without the DNA gene sequence, he couldn't produce it.

"It's simple! Just reach out!" Gu Chao said with a refined smile, which made the bald scientist's heart skip a beat.

Pooh!
Gu Chao spat into the bald scientist's palm, wiped his mouth with a gold-threaded napkin, and said, "Go ahead, you'll be able to extract my DNA sequence soon. The similarity between me and my dad is at least 95%!"

The bald scientist, hands clasped, said, "Understood! Young Master Gu Chao!" He added, "No matter what kind of excrement it is, or whose it is, it's always disgusting."

"And one more thing," Gu Chao said, watching the bald scientist's departing figure, "Don't forget to erase all of Zhou Lei's memories, and then implant new ones. I am his savior, and also his master. Li Changgeng is Zhou Lei's father's killer, understand?"

"I understand, I understand." The bald scientist scurried out, and surprisingly, his saliva was still warm.

Just over ten minutes later, the bald scientist returned, carrying a delicate little box in his arms.

The palmtop computer is connected to memory electrodes, and the memory data has already been simulated.

Gu Chao pointed to the countdown numbers on the screen, "One minute left, the blood transfusion will be over. You've come back just in time."

"Young Master, I'll get right there!" The bald scientist put on protective goggles, donned a biochemical isolation suit, pushed a sterile trolley, and walked through the opened airlock.

The memory electrode pads have positive and negative poles, simulating the frequency and intensity of biological electrical discharges in the human brain. The handheld computer plays extremely realistic images. These images, synthesized using digital AI technology, are fake, but they are realistic enough to fool people. The images show Li Changgeng wielding a long knife, slaughtering Zhou Lei's family. The scenes are bloody and terrifying. Zhou Lei's father's body is dismembered by Li Changgeng with a long knife, his heart is ripped out and his stomach is cut off...

Zhou Lei, on the other hand, was tied to a tree and could only scream hysterically with red eyes, begging Li Changgeng to stop. This was the most effective method of memory implantation, strengthening memories through visuals.

Gu Chao arrived in a sports car. As soon as he got out, he grabbed a Gatling gun and started firing wildly at Li Changgeng...

Li Changgeng escaped, and Gu Chao rescued Zhou Lei, keeping him by his side as a bodyguard. There are many more heartwarming and caring scenes of Gu Chao towards Zhou Lei.

Sizzle... sizzle... snap! Snap!

The positive and negative memory electrode plates discharged at Zhou Lei's temples, causing the electrode plates to float in the air, and the blue current drilled into Zhou Lei's acupoints.

Memory implantation complete.

The bald scientist gave Gu Chao, who was standing outside the transparent bulletproof glass, a thumbs-up, indicating that it was a great success.

Gu Chao clapped his hands, which was a way of acknowledging the situation while also offering encouragement.

The next step: injecting the life-giving agent! The bald scientist carefully opened the small box, which contained a semi-transparent metal glass tube about the thickness of a thumb and several centimeters long. The needle, syringe, and glass tube were cast as one piece.

Inside the translucent glass tube, the red and green liquids intertwined, forming two long chains resembling ladders, sometimes connected in fine strands, sometimes scattered like stars, much like the double-stranded structure of human DNA.

The electric-assisted injection motor precisely targets the Baihui acupoint on Zhou Lei's head. The life-saving medicine will be injected into Zhou Lei's brain area through the acupoint to facilitate brain development.

"Perform the injection?!" the microcomputer of the auxiliary injection motor asked in a simulated human voice.

"Execute it immediately!" The bald scientist was equally excited; this merman (jiaoren) was his masterpiece.

Zhou Lei's limbs and neck were bound and fixed with steel chains. When the life-saving drug was injected, Zhou Lei trembled and convulsed all over!

"Host resistance response detected as excessive, continue injection?!" the microcomputer of the auxiliary injection motor asked.

"Continue the injection!!" The bald scientist's squinting eyes widened, filled with excitement.

"Injection complete!" The injection motor left Zhou Lei's head, and the robotic arm slowly retracted upwards.

Wow... Wow...

Zhou Lei foamed at the mouth, his body trembled rapidly, his veins bulged, and the veins on his forehead looked like they were about to burst. The steel chains rattled loudly.

drop by drop...

The numbers on the vital signs monitor all dropped to zero; there was no heartbeat and no blood pressure.

"It's a failure!" the bald scientist shouted into his sonar intercom.

what! !

Zhou Lei suddenly woke up, and the black dragon's blood and muscles were quickly drained, turning it into a dried-up corpse.

Zhou Lei's muscles ruptured, the steel chains snapped, and the shadows around his head shifted rapidly between man and dragon. Dragon horns sprouted from his head, and scales slowly grew onto his body. The pain caused Zhou Lei to collapse to the ground, unable to get up...

"Young Master Gu, we succeeded. Let me out!" The bald scientist waved his fist. Just then, Zhou Lei stood up and silently appeared behind the bald man.

Gu Chao's face darkened. "Zhou Lei, who is your father's killer?"

“Li Changgeng!!!” Zhou Lei said viciously.

"Who saved your life?" Gu Chao continued to ask with satisfaction.

"It's Young Master Gu Chao! I'm willing to die for you!" Zhou Lei's eyes were filled with tears as the implanted memories flashed through his mind.

"Very good, kill this bald monk!" Gu Chao smiled faintly.

"Young Master Gu, please, don't..." Before the bald scientist could finish speaking, Zhou Lei forcibly pulled his head out of his chest.

"Very well, come out now. This glass can't stop you, can it?" Gu Chao finished the last half glass of red wine in his wine glass in one gulp.

Bang... Crash!
Zhou Lei shattered the bulletproof glass with a single punch.

Gu Chao put down his wine glass, took off his embroidered suit jacket, and pushed open the door to the room at the end of the corridor, which was lit by a pink lamp. There was a large, antique-style pear wood bed.

The pitiful Li Zhiman was tied to the bed, her mouth stuffed with a bodice...
