Chapter 368 - Medea’s Choice

The planet was overrun with dangerous monsters that attacked at night in large swarms.

During the day, they stayed away and there were certain luminous rocks which the inhabitants of the planet had harvested to protect themselves and keep the monsters away from their remaining settlements.

Humanity was stuck within the walls and were being cut off from the rest of the world and its resources so the time came for groups to form to hunt the monsters and try to take back their planet.

The strongest warriors fell one after another and were difficult to replace so when a certain scientist came forward with a potential solution, they had people sign up for the experiments and became the first to undergo the mutations then be sent onto the battlefield.

Several teams took different directions upon seeing their people being altered and sent off to fight the monsters so another project was started to journey into space and leave the planet behind.

The scientist behind the mutation research was trusted by many but he only saw the crisis as a means to further his own research and make everyone dependent on him so he did not like the idea of another group forming.

Once the project for space travel had been successful, he had eliminated his competition and then later held onto the final card which could be used to escape when things became bad enough.

In the moment that the planet was overrun by monsters, the scientist had taken his research, resources and his mutants which were dependant on him into space.

Those left behind were left for dead and later visits from other planets and groups had identified the planet as one which is difficult to claim back and allow for humans to inhabit.

The scientist later went around furthering his own research and caused a lot of problems which made him a wanted person.

Those that caught his interest or crossed him were turned into mutants too which were dependent on the suppressant.

There were those that tried to resist him but they went berserk and caused a major mutant outbreak which caused many deaths.

Seeing the young girl in front of him, he had already guessed her response because he had seen the same scene often. 'Come on and beg. On your knees like a good pet.'

He silently praised his cowardly pet in his heart upon bringing Medea to him and had prevented further damage to his mutant army. 'This only proves how valuable each of them are and how great of a test subject they will be.'

He was excited upon seeing the growth in abilities gain with the body of Medea, Ashwin and Carrot that he had his eye on since they could kill many of the mutants he had brought with him.

There were not many mutants left around him but he still believed he had the upper hand.

That was his last thought process because Medea coldly smiled then disappeared from his sight.

A strong electrical shock shot through his body after a hand had quickly reached into his clothing and had taken the vials.

He passed out right away and his appearance was revealed which was similar to the other mutants but his brain and skull were very enlarged with many colourful veins sticking out.

Medea stood in place and a part of her body opened up which revealed several devices.

Among them was special hand cuffs and slave collars which had been modified to her own abilities so she quickly put them on the crazy scientist who was referred to as master. "Crazy person… why would I submit to someone like you?"

Medea had lived the life of a slave already and Alyssia had saved her from it so there was no way which she would accept becoming one again.

No matter how bad things would become, Medea still held onto the hope that Alyssia could solve it so she put her trust in Alyssia and took action.

The mutant's master had stepped on her reverse scale and had been dealt with swiftly by her but Medea was able to maintain a rational mind to allow her to collect the vials and the master without killing him or breaking the vials.

The vials were safely put away then she turned towards the other mutants which had attacked her.

Several flashes happened within the room as the mutants were all defeated quickly.

Many bodies lay on the ground leaving behind the cowering mutant who was kneeling. "Spare me.. spare me.."

Medea picked up the mutant's master then coldly looked towards the cowardly mutant. "Follow me."

The cowardly mutant got up and followed behind as they made their way to the Ark Maxim.

The mutant master was restrained and in a comatose state while those infected had been put under restraints.

Medea coldly looked towards the cowardly mutant again while asking. "The healing type. Which vial is used? How about the place that your master is using for research?"

Not long after she had gained more information, Medea infiltrated and stole many different things from one of the known bases that was nearby before the Ark Maxim and the other space ship left.

They both travelled at the quickest speed possible back towards their homeland while leaving behind many dead bodies and the destruction of the laboratory which had attracted many other criminals or organisations lurking around the area.

While the state of some of those on board like Carrot had their state temporarily suppressed, time and the vials would only last them so long.

There still needed to be fresh materials and vials of the mutations and suppressants to allow Alyssia to have something to work from so they had to use them carefully.
