Time flies, and Black Sea Bream No.2 also mutates rapidly.
After ensuring it has plenty of food, its appearance changes almost every day.
Three days later, the dorsal fin of Black Sea Bream No.2 had fallen off, replaced by sharp bone spurs that looked particularly frightening!
The experimental pool has been covered with an iron cage, which was also locked with chains!
Even so, Black Sea Bream No.2 became increasingly irritable, often colliding with the iron cage.
By almost a week, Black Sea Bream No.2 was completely unrecognizable!
Its scales were still there, but its belly had grown limbs resembling claws and legs.
Even if the water was drained, it could breathe normally, having turned into an amphibious creature similar to a frog! And it could make eerie cries that were chilling to hear!
During that week, He Xingzhou specifically discussed with Wu Rui, and except for Jiang Chan, other team members were not allowed to observe this mutant creature.
Nevertheless, some rumors leaked from the biological experiment building.
"Have you heard? There's a haunting in the biological experiment building!" students discussed on the school forum.
"There's a spirit crying out at night!"
"I heard it too, I was terrified when I passed by the biological experiment building last night!"
"It sounded like a ghost devouring someone!"
Some students were skeptical, criticizing, "What era are we in, still believing in superstitions? It's probably just some students watching a horror movie or something similar."
"No, a lot of people have heard it, it never happened before!"
The issue of strange noises from the biological experiment building caused an uproar on the forum, and some people even said, "Someone's conducting biochemical experiments in the biological experiment building!"
"I have a friend in a mutant creature research group, they said that He Xingzhou has been keeping a mutant creature in their laboratory and now they aren't allowed to see it!"
"Really? No way, isn't He Xingzhou studying physics? Didn't he recently live-stream the building of a nuclear reactor?"
"My friend said so, it's absolutely true!"
The rumors grew more and more absurd and soon evolved into stories about He Xingzhou cultivating zombies in the biological experiment building.
"Too horrifying!" In the lab, Wu Rui and Jiang Chan looked at the monster before them with faces full of horror.
In the cage in front of them, Black Sea Bream No.2 was crawling with its still underdeveloped claws.
Its body length had reached 0.7 meters, looking like a wild beast, baring its teeth at them.
Fortunately, its vocal organs had not yet fully developed, and it couldn't roar loudly, otherwise, this place would have already attracted attention from others!
He Xingzhou was also shocked by this monster, who could have imagined that the creature before them was just a mutant fish the size of a palm not long ago?
"Senior, we can't continue like this!" Jiang Chan said, "This has already exceeded our control!"
Wu Rui also nodded, "Yes, we must report it to the school! Now there are rumors around the school that we are conducting biochemical experiments!"
"Not just to the school!" At this point, He Xingzhou fully believed in the predictions of the Quantum Light Computer, based on his constructed Insect Race genetic evolution model, in the coming decades, sooner or later, these extraterrestrial creatures will dominate the globe!
"I need to report to the state!" He Xingzhou said firmly, "This is an unprecedented global disaster, if we are not prepared in advance, gathering the nation's strength to build defensive measures, humanity will definitely perish!"
"Humanity perishing?" The two hadn't shifted their thinking yet; to them, although the mutant creature was terrifying, it hadn't escalated to a global crisis level.
"Senior, can it really happen?" Jiang Chan went pale.
"It definitely will!" He Xingzhou said, "This week, I have completed my mutant creature evolution model. I believe, with this monster as evidence and my research report, it will definitely catch the attention of the higher-ups!"
"You two, don't say anything to outsiders about this, I'll report it!"
At this point, Wu Rui didn't know what to do either, he could only nod his head, saying, "We'll listen to you!"
He Xingzhou immediately went to find Zhang Boyan. Zhang Boyan, although a professor in the physics department, was a well-recognized figure in the academic community, and knew many academics from the National Academy of Sciences.
This matter wasn't something ordinary people could understand. Through Zhang Boyan, he could elevate the seriousness of this issue!
He Xingzhou messaged and found out Zhang Boyan was in the teaching research office, so he immediately went there.
In the teaching research office, Zhang Boyan was discussing academic issues with Dong Chen when He Xingzhou knocked and entered.
"He Xingzhou, you came at the right time!" Zhang Boyan said smilingly, "I have good news for you today."
"What is it?" He Xingzhou asked, puzzled.
Zhang Boyan said, "After the school's review, they have approved you for direct admission to my master's graduate program without needing to take the postgraduate entrance exam!"
He Xingzhou's previous nuclear reactor experiment had caused some repercussions in the community and had been highly recognized by the school.
"Thank you, teacher! Thank you, dean!" He Xingzhou promptly thanked.
Dong Chen also smiled and said, "Don't be proud, you still have much to learn."
"Yes, I understand." He Xingzhou responded.
"By the way, you mentioned on the phone that you had something important to report?" Zhang Boyan asked.
He Xingzhou looked around seriously and said, "Dean, teacher, I indeed have something very important to report!"
"This matter relates to national security!"
"National security?" Hearing He Xingzhou's words, both furrowed their brows simultaneously.
Dong Chen was particularly astonished, "What is it, it has reached that level?"
Zhang Boyan was even worried, "You didn't make a bigger scale nuclear reactor, did you? That kind of thing can't just be made!"
If it were any other student, he wouldn't worry about this problem since even with the materials, they couldn't make it, but He Xingzhou was capable!
"No, it's something else!" He Xingzhou said, "Dear teachers, please watch this video first."
Saying this, he showed them the video he took of Black Sea Bream No.2.
They saw, in a cage, a creature that was neither fish nor fowl, a live chicken was thrown into the cage and was devoured alive in less than three seconds!
"What is this?" Dong Chen frowned, "Is this some horror movie? What exactly are you trying to say, He Xingzhou?"
Zhang Boyan also said, "He Xingzhou, explain your actions!"
He Xingzhou responded, "Teachers, I'm not fooling you, this is not a movie! It's real footage."
"What you see in this monster, just a few weeks ago, was the mutant Black Sea Bream I used during the Miniature Nuclear Fission Reactor experiment!"
"It's one of them!"
"What did you say?" Both professors shouted simultaneously, their faces full of disbelief.
