The people gathered around looked at the young man presenting at the booth and couldn't help but be a little amazed. In fact, if you have played the GTA game, you would quickly recognize the pulse gun and the electromagnetic pulse transmitter on the stand. However, not everyone has played the game. Even though the gaming industry is extremely popular, not every player can access it due to the required computer configuration and costs.
The electromagnetic pulse transmitter attracted the attention of technical agents from various companies, though there was less enthusiasm compared to the atomic energy gun. In comparison, atomic energy guns represent a cross-generational leap in research.
As the exhibition continued, technical agents from various companies gathered around Merlin's booth. In a short while, his hands were filled with business cards. The other teams participating in the exhibition noticed their areas becoming increasingly empty and temporarily abandoned their own booths to join the crowd around Merlin's exhibition.
At this time, in the men's bathroom, Peter sat on the toilet, placed his backpack in front of him, unzipped it, and took out a green potion. The light passed through the potion, casting a dense green glow on his excited and determined face.
After seeing Merlin, who was once like him, transform from weak and decadent to confident and mature, Peter was deeply inspired. Additionally, his idol was the superhero Spiderwoman, and he too wanted to become a superhero admired by everyone.
During this holiday, Peter had been studying cross-species genetic medicine and finally found a direction using lizard genes to create the super serum he now held. Although the potion was immature, he couldn't wait any longer, especially after the recent insult.
"Huh... come on, man, you can do it," he took a deep breath, encouraged himself, and then decisively inserted the syringe into his arm. The green serum penetrated deep into his muscle fibers through the outer skin tissue, and the genetic modification of his cells gradually began.
"Hiss!" Peter's pupils suddenly dilated, gradually transforming into cold vertical slits, and his skin began to develop green scales at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Bang!" Suddenly, the toilet door was knocked on forcefully. Flash and two others had entered the bathroom at some point, angrily discussing what had just happened.
"Damn it!" Flash slammed the toilet door next to him and cursed angrily. "I don't believe that guy always has that toy gun on him!" his white companion said through gritted teeth, clearly planning to retaliate.
The man, Tenard, showed a trace of hesitation and then said, "Maybe it will be a wrench, hammer, or something else."
"Shut your mouth!" Flash glared at Tenard, then took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. As he lit it, the flames rose, but he seemed to notice something and suddenly stiffened.
"What's wrong with you?" The two companions waiting for a light were a little confused when they saw Flash's reaction.
Flash slowly turned his head, looked at the toilet door next to him, and asked softly, "You guys... did you hear anything?"
"Sound?" The other two immediately fell silent and listened carefully.
"Tick tock! Tick tock!... Roar..." The sound of dripping water accompanied by low, menacing roars echoed in the silent bathroom.
"Bang!" Suddenly, the toilet door was knocked off its hinges, and a nearly three-meter-tall lizard man, covered in green scales, slowly emerged from the stall. His cold, vertical pupils immediately scanned the room.
Flash and his companions turned pale with fear.
Meanwhile, the science and technology exhibition was gradually coming to an end as it was getting late. After reluctantly taking over the atomic energy gun from Meron, it was almost time to wrap up the event.
As the science and technology exhibition came to an end, students and teachers began to leave, and the participating teams started to pack up their exhibits.
"This is so boring, I might as well go see a band perform," Gwen complained while helping Merlin clean up the booth.
"How about we go to my house later and invite Peter for a barbecue on the balcony?" Merlin suggested with a smile, putting the electromagnetic pulse transmitter into its box.
"Barbecuing at your house? I don't remember you ever grilling anything. You won't make us work as free labor, will you?" Gwen looked at him suspiciously.
"I didn't ask you, I asked Hannah," Merlin responded, ignoring Gwen's teasing and turning to Hannah.
Hannah, who had always been somewhat invisible at school and rarely talked about her home life, was concentrating on cleaning up. She looked up, seeing both Gwen and Merlin looking at her. After a moment of hesitation, she brushed her hair from her forehead and nodded in agreement.
Just when Gwen was about to say something, a horrified shout suddenly rang out in the exhibition hall.
"Help!!! There's a monster in the school!"
Gwen reacted instantly, seeming to feel something, and looked solemnly toward the location of the hall corridor.
In the corridor, Flash and his companions looked frightened, running in their direction in a panic. They glanced back from time to time, as if they were being chased by some kind of terror.
"Bang!" A green claw suddenly touched the corner wall, and a dull sound echoed in the corridor.
Immediately afterward, a green lizard man, with his head almost touching the ceiling, chased out from around the corner. He exuded a cold and crazy aura, his cold pupils fixed on Flash and his companions in front of him.
"Ahhhhh!!!" The people who had not yet left the exhibition hall immediately screamed and ran towards the exits.
Fortunately, the technology exhibition was in its final stage, and there were not many people left in the hall, so there was no worry about a serious stampede.
"Gwen!" Merlin came to his senses and shouted subconsciously, only to find that she had disappeared without a trace.
After the Lizard Man entered the hall, for some reason, he suddenly started chasing Merlin instead.
"What the hell? Why are you chasing me?" Merlin was confused for a moment when he saw the Lizard Man, who had been chasing Flash and his companions, suddenly turn towards him.
"Hannah, follow them and leave first. I'll hold him off for a while." Merlin thought Gwen must have gone to change clothes and would be back soon.
"No, let's go together!" Hannah said, suppressing the fear in her heart.
"I don't know why he targeted me. I don't have time to take care of you," Merlin took out his atomic gun, put his arm around Hannah's shoulders, and said seriously.
Just as Hannah was about to speak, Merlin suddenly thought of something and said again, "By the way, don't say anything like 'take care' when you leave."
