Chapter 3756: Chapter 3747: Bold Speculation, Forcing Growth

Lin Yi shook his head.

"I’ve been wondering if there might be something special at the third search point?"

"Something special? What do you mean?"

"It’s about the location," Lin Yi said:

"If it’s the Nakxi Clan’s laboratory there, and it’s so close to the Dwarf Clan’s lab, hidden so well, this situation is definitely abnormal. There might be something hidden there that’s unknown, prompting them to take such risks."

Lin Yi’s analysis provided Ning Che with a new line of thought.

"That could be possible," Ning Che said:

"Let’s assume, if it’s not the Nakxi Clan, but the Dwarf Clan or Giant Clan, what would the situation be like?"

"The Giant Clan is unlikely. The tunnel is so narrow; they can’t even get in. The only plausible possibility is another lab of the Dwarfs. Except for the size difference, everything else is quite reasonable."

Suddenly!

Ning Che’s eyes lit up as if she had thought of something, showing an expression of terror.

"Did you think of it too?"

Lin Yi nodded, "I’m also thinking it could really be the Dwarfs’ lab. Let’s head back to the brigade first."

"Alright."

Ning Che accelerated, driving back to the Central Guards Brigade, bypassing Liu Hong and heading straight to the Research Institute, where she found Chen Zhiyi.

"How’s the progress?" Lin Yi asked straight away upon entering.

"It’s just beginning, no need to rush," Chen Zhiyi said:

"The decoding of the Sheepskin Scroll will take some time. For now, we can determine the mummy is likely a male around eighteen to twenty years old. The rest of the information will take more time."

"Did you scan it? Are there complete CT images?"

"There are. Do you want to see them?"

Lin Yi nodded in response.

"Have you discovered anything new?"

"No new findings, just want to take a look."

"Follow me."

Chen Zhiyi led Lin Yi and Ning Che to the laboratory, nearing a computer, and retrieved the CT scan images.

"The mummy is very well preserved, but the bone structure is very peculiar."

Chen Zhiyi picked up a pen from the desk, "Look at the length of the leg bones, arm bones, and spinal bones, but the pelvis and neck bones are relatively normal. These are the odd points."

"Team Leader Chen, what about these dark spots on the leg bones?"

"Signs of fractures," Lin Yi said.

"Lin Yi is correct. The legs must have been fractured multiple times, leaving such marks," Chen Zhiyi explained:

"After meeting and analyzing, we concluded it might not be caused by external injury but possibly because his leg bones couldn’t support his body, and slight external impact would lead to fractures."

"Simply put, the bones can’t support the body’s weight and break," Lin Yi said.

"That’s a correct understanding."

"We also analyzed the photos you brought back," Chen Zhiyi said:

"The situation is similar in the three dead bodies on the ground, slightly better than the mummy, and we have speculated another possibility."

Lin Yi and Ning Che looked at Chen Zhiyi, waiting for her to continue:

"The three people dead on the ground might have been trying to escape, but due to some reason, their legs fractured as well, preventing them from running, resulting in twisted body positions. This is just a hypothesis, though."

Lin Yi fell silent, seemingly deep in thought.

Ning Che looked at the computer, pointing at the mummy’s heart.

"This area looks odd, isn’t it?"

"It’s quite unusual," Chen Zhiyi changed her position, pointing at the mummy’s heart, saying:

"The heart is enlarged, indicating the organ was working overload, but the real cause of death should be cardiovascular rupture."

"Could it be due to weak bones unable to support the body, causing the heart’s overload?" Ning Che said.

"That’s possible," Chen Zhiyi said. "But it could also be due to drugs, radiation exposure, or a specific disease causing such bodily conditions."

"Considering this, this person was useless, couldn’t do anything."

"Not just him, the three lying on the ground might have the same situation."

"From the perspective of modern medicine, such individuals are fragile, seeming to have short lifespans, even without external attacks, self-extinction is possible," Lin Yi said:

"Considering this, claiming they are the strongest of the Nakxi Clan seems a bit far-fetched."

Lin Yi’s statement basically gave a characterization of this, such physical condition indeed can’t be Nakxi Clan.

"We analyzed on the way; it can’t be the Giant Clan either, given their physique, they can’t get into the tunnel, the only possibility is the Dwarf Clan," Ning Che said.

"But their stature doesn’t fit, dwarfs shouldn’t be this tall," Chen Zhiyi said.

"There’s another possibility!" Lin Yi said:

"Their bodies grew rapidly, so-called forced growth."

"Huh? Forced growth?"

"Perhaps these people are dwarfs who, through research of a serum or radiation, caused genetic mutation growth, becoming akin to normal humans."

"I think this hypothesis holds, Dwarfs are technology enthusiasts, they wouldn’t want their combat ability limited by short stature, so while researching genetic hybridization, they’re also looking at ways to grow taller," Ning Che said.

Lin Yi and Ning Che’s analysis brought an enlightening moment to Chen Zhiyi.

Her expression became excited.

"According to your analysis, this possibility exists, and this matter can be characterized as the Dwarfs’ lab, possibly researching this aspect!"

Ning Che also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling there’s been a significant breakthrough, giving direction to further research.

Amidst the women’s excitement, they noticed Lin Yi still sitting on the chair, silently contemplating while gazing at the images on the computer.

"What are you looking at? Why aren’t you excited?"

"The Dwarf Clan is quite insane; I feel they might not be satisfied with the status quo." Lin Yi quietly said:

"Even if their bodies are close to normal human levels, they might still seek to transform into taller members of the Giant Clan, thereby enhancing their combat ability!"
