Heroes' Prison-Chapter 1112 - 1053: Deep Into the Laboratory

"You actually have the confidence to withstand the Kiss of Death? Don’t get too arrogant! It’s the most lethal toxin in the universe, colorless and odorless, you wouldn’t even know if you’re poisoned. We managed to escape because we weren’t in contact with the toxin for long, but you’ll have to handle it for an extended period, so you won’t be as lucky as us," Lu Ye said worriedly.

"How would I know if I don’t try? I’ve made up my mind, tell me the steps!" Huang Yi insisted.

"Alright then!" Lu Ye stopped arguing and explained the procedure to Huang Yi in detail.

Minutes later, having remembered the entire procedure, Huang Yi finally took the first step toward that distant spire-like building.

The crowd in front of him parted, making a path for Huang Yi, with all eyes fixed on his steady figure, full of anticipation.

Soon, Huang Yi passed through the crowd, entering an empty isolation zone. No one was there, as if it were a minefield that no one dared to cross, leading up to the barrier of the spire-like building.

Crossing the isolation zone, Huang Yi finally stood before the barrier. Suddenly, his body shook, growing taller and more robust, with muscles bulging and his skin turning a dazzling golden hue.

In the blink of an eye, he transformed into a Half-Beastman form!

"Big Brother God of Slaughter actually transformed into a Half-Beastman form, could it be he’s relying on the Half-Beastman’s poison resistance talent?" Some players speculated.

In The Second World, there are countless races, each with unique innate special talents that can have unparalleled effects in certain situations, incomparable by other races.

The Half-Beastman race has a world-renowned exclusive talent — 95% immunity to poison and disease damage!

This talent is the racial advantage the Half-Beastmen are most proud of. Many teams going for adventures or level grinding in the Tower of Pantheons prefer to have a few Half-Beast Players specifically to withstand bosses with poison attacks or explore those dangerous poison-emitting areas.

However, Half-Beastmen can only negate 95% of disease and poison damage, not 100%. Some extremely potent toxins and diseases can still affect them, such as thirty years ago when Dark King Uk’ar’s invasion brought the plague — the Plague, which killed many Half-Beastmen.

Ideally, the cosmic legendary toxin Kiss of Death shouldn’t be something a Half-Beastman could withstand. But Huang Yi wanted to try because he wasn’t an ordinary Half-Beastman; he was a deeply evolved Mutated Half-Beastman!

He had undergone two evolutions on the Half-Beastman form, and after evolving into a Mutated Half-Beastman, his poison and disease resistance took a qualitative leap, acquiring a new talent called [Immunity Evolution] — in Half-Beastman form, disease resistance +100, poison resistance +100, completely immune to any disease and toxin, and his own disease and poison attacks were enhanced by 20%.

His Half-Beastman form had a poison and disease resistance of 100 points! This means a 100% immunity to disease and toxins!

This talent was why he decided to personally enter the laboratory!

However, he couldn’t fully guarantee immunity, as it was similar to Absolute Invisibility and Absolute Revelation, Absolute Defense and Absolute Damage... when both sides are top-notch, words like "absolute," "100%" and "complete" may not apply. The Kiss of Death might ignore this talent.

Huang Yi extended his broad hand, touching the building’s barrier, and soon broke through, his body gradually penetrating the barrier, entering inside.

At that moment, theoretically, he might have been poisoned, but he didn’t perceive any anomaly as he steadily advanced, entering the spire’s entrance and vanishing from everyone’s sight.

Inside the spire was a lengthy corridor, dark and unlit, surrounded by darkness. His footsteps echoed plaintively toward the corridor’s depths, and the air smelled of disinfectant, akin to walking down a hospital operating room’s corridor, evoking an eerie feeling.

Soon, he saw the corridor’s end: a slightly ajar door from a distance. Through the crack, it looked even darker inside, with various experimental instruments scattered haphazardly, colorful liquids and powders spilled everywhere in disarray.

That was Lu Ye’s laboratory.

Huang Yi reached the door, took a deep breath, and slowly pushed it open, walking inside.

This laboratory was the toxin’s source, with the densest toxic fumes, yet Huang Yi still felt no symptoms of poisoning, unsure if his talent repelled the toxin or if the toxin was so imperceptible that he couldn’t detect being poisoned.

Huang Yi scanned his surroundings and soon saw on a console not far away, a slender vial emitting a Divine Light, none other than the legendary Divine Crystal Vial.

Inside that vial was a drop of colorless, transparent liquid!

That was the Kiss of Death!

Some time ago, it was Huang Yi who stole it from the underground laboratory of the Blood Castle and brought it here.

Following the experimental procedure, Huang Yi entered the entrance isolation chamber, donned thick isolation apparel, put on a gas mask, and wore disinfectant gloves.

He then opened the pressure valve, lowering the laboratory’s pressure, temporarily preventing the airflow from outside. This way, even if mishandling led to more leaks, the pressure device could delay the toxin’s spread outside.

After all was done, Huang Yi stepped out of the isolation chamber and quickly approached that console, gazing at the slightly open Divine Crystal Vial.

The Kiss of Death inside was less than a meter away from him; that tiny droplet of liquid was unremarkable, akin to a drop of ordinary water. But if fully released, it could kill billions across the continent, causing a catastrophe even more terrifying than a Demon Clan invasion!

Huang Yi reached out, grasping the Divine Crystal Vial; his thumb pressed tightly on the cap, continuously applying pressure!

At that moment, he held his breath; all sounds vanished except his heartbeat. His glove-padded palm was already sweating coldly but maintained the pressing posture.

Outside the research base, everyone stared at this building from afar, whispering and pacing back and forth, unaware of what transpired inside.

On Hero’s Continent, billions went about their lives as usual, unaware their fate was in Huang Yi’s hands at that very moment.

"Snap~" Finally, a faint clicking sound echoed. The Divine Crystal Vial’s cap sank slightly, then a flash of light shone!

This indicated that the vial’s barrier had been activated, completely isolating the vial from the outside!

"Success!" Inside the gas mask, a sweat-drenched Huang Yi finally smiled, exhaling slowly.

But just then, a dizzying sensation hit abruptly, like he was instantly drained of all strength, and his legs gave out, collapsing directly onto the ground!

He was poisoned!
