Lin Yue rubbed his sour eyes, and the cells and tissues under the microscope were still dividing strangely. This is the seventh anomalous sample she has observed this month, and all samples show an unprecedented pattern of genetic recombination.
"Energy levels have gone up again." Assistant Xiao Zhang's voice came from the other end of the laboratory, "It's up 0.7 percentage points from yesterday." "
Lin Yue quickly recorded the data, frowning slightly. It is common sense that a tissue sample that has been separated for 72 hours should be starting to decay, but the sample in front of you is surprisingly viable. Even more disturbing is the fact that their genetic sequences undergo minor changes every six hours.
"Has the source of the sample been reconfirmed?" Lin Yue asked while recording.
"Yes, Professor Lin. This batch of samples is all from the Fourth Military Hospital, and the attending doctor is..."Xiao Zhang flipped through the records," Luo Lin, a military doctor for the special forces. "
Lin Yue stopped writing. This is the third time I've seen this name in recent times. The Fourth Military Hospital had submitted an unusually large number of samples to them in the past two months, and all of them had been made by this military doctor named Rollin.
"Pull up all the relevant sample data, I'm going to..."
Before she could finish her sentence, the alarm in the lab suddenly went off.
[Warning: Unknown energy fluctuations detected]
[Security Level: Red Alert]
[Please evacuate immediately]
"The energy readings are out of control!" Xiao Zhang's voice was filled with panic, "There is a crack in the sample container!" "
Lin Yue quickly rushed to the isolation box, and the readings on the data panel were beating wildly. Under the microscope, the cell tissue emits a strange fluorescence, as if something is about to break through the cell wall.
"Activate the emergency lockdown!" Lin Yue shouted and entered the emergency code at the same time. But it was too late.
A blinding blue light burst from the sample container, followed by a crisp cracking sound. Lin Yue only felt a warm air flow rushing towards his face, vaguely with a metallic aura. She instinctively raised her hand to block it, but the strange substance had penetrated the suit and made contact with her skin.
"Professor Lin!" Xiao Zhang's shouting seemed to become very distant.
Lin Yue felt that his consciousness was sinking rapidly. In the last moments before she lost consciousness, she saw an incredible scene: something in her veins was emitting a faint blue light, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.
Medical alarms resounded throughout the Technopolis.

Emergency room of the Fourth Military Hospital.
"Another example?" Rollin stared at the report in his hand, his brow furrowed. This is the fourth lab accident this month, and it all involved that particular batch of samples.
"Yes, sir. The patient is Professor Lin Yue from the Institute of Biological Sciences, and her vital signs are stable but..."The nurse on duty paused, "Her blood test results are very strange. "
Luo Lin quickly flipped through the test report. His pupils constricted slightly, and the data he knew all too well – almost exactly the same as those in those particular cases.
"What ward is she in now?"
"West 511, but—" Before the nurse could finish speaking, Rollin had already turned to leave.
Outside the ward, two specially dressed guards were standing guard. Seeing Luo Lin's military medical documents, they hesitated slightly, but still got out of the way.
In the ward, Lin Yue lay quietly under the monitor. Rollin noticed an extremely subtle blue glow on the surface of her skin, something he had never seen in previous cases.
At this moment, Lin Yue's eyes suddenly opened.
"You're Dr. Rollin?" Her voice was weak but clear, "Those samples... Where did it come from? "
Luo Lin was stunned. Just as he was about to answer, he suddenly found a trace of blue light flashing in Lin Yue's pupils. What shocked him even more was that the eyes she looked at him seemed to contain some kind of insight beyond ordinary people.
"Professor Lin, you need to rest now..."
"No," Lin Yue interrupted him, "inside you... There's that thing too, right? "
This sentence sounded like thunder. Luo Lin's expression froze instantly.
Just then, the door to the ward was pushed open. A well-dressed task force rushed in.
"The Military Special Investigation Team," the leader said, showing his ID, "and we're taking over this now." Dr. Rollin, please come with us. "
Rollin stood still. He looked at Lin Yue, who had a hint of understanding in his gaze. They all know that some truths that should have been hidden are inevitably coming to the surface.
And that's just the beginning.
