A Bizarre Adventure Starting with One-Punch Man

His purpose in coming here was to obtain information about the House of Evolution from the Hero Association's channels.

As the genius evil scientist who created the Dragon-level monster "Asura Rhinoceros Beetle" and the S-class hero "Zombieman", Dr. Genus, who specializes in the field of genetics, is undoubtedly the best candidate to study "Compound No. 5".

"The House of Evolution?"

Lani's mind raced through a series of association documents she had handled, and she nodded slightly: "I have access to information about this organization. It is a private research organization that has existed for over 50 years and mainly engages in research in biotechnology."

"According to internal documents, headquarters had exchanges with this organization, and also..."

At this point, Lani looked somewhat troubled.

"They also sold some of the monster cell tissue, right?"

Johnson took over the conversation.

He once hacked into the association's headquarters database and inadvertently learned some confidential documents that were unknown to others, including project plans and implementation records related to the trade with the weirdos.

"Eh, does Lord Johnson already know?"

Lani looked somewhat embarrassed.

The Hero Association is positioned as a non-profit organization, with the vast majority of its funding coming from shareholder contributions and fan donations. It is used for infrastructure construction, disaster relief, daily expenses, and the distribution of hero stipends.

While the association's founders had good intentions, the process of managing it inevitably involves various exchanges of interests.

Uncontrolled violations continue to proliferate in the shadows, and a considerable number of interest groups will come out to support them.

For example, selling the recovered corpses of monsters for profit—something that should never have happened.

Like most upright officials, Lani did not approve of the practice of selling monster cell tissue as a commodity.

The monsters that the heroes fought desperately to eliminate turned into commodities for profit, completely distorting their original righteous actions of protecting the people and maintaining peace.

If this gets out, it will definitely not be a small problem; it will be a huge scandal that could cause the Hero Association's reputation to collapse and its foundation to be shaken.

Moreover, as a major factor causing instability in the world, the disasters caused by these strange beings are the root of countless tragedies. Such terrifying beings should not be circulated as commodities to forces outside the association.

Those who buy monster cells do so simply for research purposes, hoping to gain the power of monsters or even become monsters themselves.

Very few people genuinely want to study freaks for the benefit of humanity.

Even knowing the truth, most of the executives were powerless to change it, because it was a decision made by the higher-ups at the Hero Association headquarters.

"Lord Qiaoson..."

"Alright, I didn't come here today to discuss this with you."

Johnson knew perfectly well why Lanny, a usually capable key member of the association, seemed so reluctant to speak.

He waved his hand reassuringly, "I have some things to discuss with the leader of the House of Evolution. Could you please find the address of this organization and send it to my communicator later?"

"Okay, I'll take care of it in a bit."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Sen stood up and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you."

Seeing him about to leave, Lani subconsciously stood up as well, a hint of anxiety in her eyes: "Also, Lord Johnson, regarding what you mentioned, only a portion of the association was involved..."

"Don't worry, I know most people are still doing the right thing."

As he passed Lanny, Johnson casually patted her on the shoulder.

"As for the rest, please keep an eye on them for me. If they go too far, feel free to contact me anytime."

Hearing Johnson's words, Lani felt relieved and nodded heavily.

"I see!"

……

House of Evolution.

Inside a modern biological laboratory, a tall, slender figure is busy among bottles and jars containing various solutions.

"Report!!"

On the laboratory wall, an emergency pop-up window with the word "WARNING" appeared on a green holographic screen.

Dr. Genos, who was preparing the culture medium, put down the test tube in his hand, his glasses reflecting a cold green light.

"Number 28, what's up?"

A pop-up window appeared showing a young man who looked exactly like Dr. Genus. Not only were his glasses, height, and build identical, but even the side-swept bangs that covered half of his face were almost exactly the same.

The difference between the two is that Dr. Genus himself is wearing a proper black shirt, a tie, and a white lab coat, which is standard for scientists.

The "Kinus" that appeared on the screen was wearing a simple long-sleeved shirt and trousers that looked like a hospital gown, with the number "28" marked on the left chest.

This indicates that he is Dr. Genus's 28th clone, but it is unknown which batch of the 28th clone he is.

Number 28 on the screen quickly reported: "A flying unit has appeared in the airspace above the detection radar monitoring base. We have confirmed through monitoring that it is a human."

"Humans that can fly?"

Dr. Genos frowned. Although he had been engrossed in his research all these years, he had still kept abreast of the outside world.

In the past year, the Hero Association has risen to prominence and made achievements in various fields.

The rise of professional heroes has brought previously unknown strong individuals or people with superpowers into the public eye on a large scale.

Nowadays, the appearance of one or two flying humans is no longer a big deal; it's a normal phenomenon.

However, it was rather unusual for this flying man to suddenly appear above the base.

Chapter 151 House of Evolution

"In that case, let's keep them under surveillance."

Dr. Genos picked up the test tube, completed the final step of the debugging process, and gave the command.

"If the enemy breaks through the traps and mechanisms of the surface base, dispatch combat troops to drive them away."

"Yes!"

To ensure safety, the actual House of Evolution base was built entirely underground.

Inside the eight-story building on the ground, there was no proper research equipment; each floor was filled with various types of traps and mechanisms.

If the enemy manages to break through by chance, there are special forces with fused biological genes waiting for them, so it can be said that there is no chance of failure!

Dr. Genus was quite confident in his research findings, so he didn't take it seriously even when he heard that a flying superhuman had come to investigate.

He firmly believed that his research was the right path for human evolution!

Dr. Genus learned through underground channels that the Hero Association could purchase monster cells that were still active, but the quantity was extremely limited.

It is said that it is difficult to obtain live samples. After all, when heroes fight monsters, they are only thinking about completely crushing their opponents. Apart from a very few wolf-level monsters that surrender, it is difficult to find a living monster in a pile of corpses.

Dr. Genos is actually over seventy years old, a true septuagenarian.

He currently looks only in his early twenties, and his physical functions are at the peak of human potential.

This is because he developed a cell-revitalizing agent targeting his own genes, essentially a technological version of a rejuvenation drug.

This seemingly fantastical black technology was actually a small project that Dr. Genus easily tackled once the technological conditions had been developed to the required level.

The nickname "evil genius scientist" is well-deserved.

In reality, Dr. Genus fifty years ago was a pure genius, and his nickname did not include the word "evil."

With his genius and extraordinary wisdom, he made countless outstanding contributions to human society.

He has won numerous honors and awards, and his patents and research achievements are countless.

However, his research later exceeded the vision and scope of ordinary people, and he was no longer sought after and supported by the scientific community. This led him to gradually turn to the dark side and embark on the taboo research path of kidnapping extraordinary samples to conduct live gene experiments.

(Orochimaru: Ah, right, right, right!)

As we all know, one of the most important common characteristics of scientific research is that it is very expensive.

Dr. Genos had already amassed a fortune decades ago that he could never spend in several lifetimes, so his family was naturally incredibly wealthy.

For an evil scientist who owns a large research facility, money is just a number in his eyes, and the high price offered by some people within the Hero Association is nothing to him.

Having discovered a new research direction, they secretly contacted the Hero Association and made several deals.

Unfortunately, those freakish cell samples that failed to evolve were not the perfect direction for human evolution in his mind at all.

Ultimately, he only separated a group of clones to continue comparative experiments, while the focus of the original work shifted back to the original action experiment project.

"Report, the analysis results are in!"

Not long after, another emergency pop-up appeared on the screen, this time showing the clone with the number 81 on its chest.

"The opponent is the Hero Association's S-Class Hero, ranked 2nd, 'Super Cop'!"

Upon hearing Number 81's report, Dr. Genus subconsciously adjusted his glasses.

"S-class hero?"

He frowned subconsciously, the green computer screen reflecting on his face, making his expression slightly gloomy at that moment.

Data shows that S-class heroes are all exceptionally powerful human individuals, and even with his current strength, he wouldn't dare say he could completely defeat them.

Not to mention the S-class, which is so high in the sequence.

More importantly, his life's work is stored in this large underground base.
