Chapter 1063
After Joanna comforted her son, she was still a little uneasy.
Beep, beep, beep.
“Hello, the number you have dialed is unavailable…”
“Sigh, why can’t I get through to you? What are you doing?”
“Bruce, you have to come back safely. Don’t let anything happen to you. My heart can’t take any more blows,”
Joanna muttered to herself in a daze.
Indeed, after so many blows, she was easily alarmed. She could no longer withstand any shocks or stimulation.
She just wanted to live a peaceful life and not have any more troubles.
Joanna couldn’t fall asleep. She felt stuffy, and she wanted to talk to someone. After thinking about it, only Grace
had something in common with her.
[Grace, are you asleep? Have you contacted Darcy?] Joanna sent a message to Grace.
Grace was still in Melta. She would definitely be more well-informed than her. Joanna wanted to ask if Grace had
any news about Darcy. Even if Bruce could not be contacted, it would be good if she could contact Darcy.
Anyway, Darcy had been following Bruce. They were definitely together.
Due to the time difference, it was still four or five in the morning at Melta.
Joanna originally thought she would reply get a reply from Grace when Grace woke up.
However, as soon as she sent the message, Grace immediately made a video call. “Hello, Joann.”
Joanna hurriedly picked up the video call. “Grace, why aren’t you asleep yet? It should still be at night at your place,
right?”
In the call, Grace’s eyes were red as she leaned against the pillow. “I can’t sleep. I’ve been suffering from insomnia
for the past few days. I can’t sleep at all.”
“Hmm, have you contacted Darcy in the past two days?” Joanna asked subconsciously. Although she knew the
chances were slim, she still had a hint of anticipation.
When Grace heard that, her eyes turned even redder, and her voice became even more choked up. “No! No
matter how I called him, I couldn’t get through. Joann, what did they go to do? Why are they so mysterious? They
didn’t even give me a call.”
“I’m so annoyed and worried. If anything happens to Darcy, what will I do? I realize that I’ve already fallen in love
with him. Without him, I won’t be able to live.”

Grace was the age where love was paramount. She would not restrain her feelings at all. Of course, she did not
want to restrain herself either.
“Uh…” Joanna’s gaze darkened, not knowing how to comfort her.
Grace sniffed and said aggrievedly, “Joann, I’m very worried now. I haven’t slept for the past two days.”
“I keep feeling that something is going to happen to Darcy. I can’t contact him now, and I’m about to break down.
What did your husband go to do? Is he doing something dangerous? I heard that Darcy used to box in the
underground boxing ring. Did your husband ask Darcy to fight in the underground boxing ring again?”
“Grace, don’t worry. They should be back soon.” Joanna could only comfort her with that.
But in fact, what they were doing was much more dangerous than boxing. They could lose their life any
minute.
Therefore, Bruce did not dare to tell Joanna the truth. If he told her the truth, she would probably be scared out of
her wits and stop him from going to Melta no matter what.
“Then what are they doing? Do they need to turn off their phones? Now that I can’t contact him, I really don’t know
what to do. I’m very anxious and panicky!” Grace said like a child and couldn’t help but sob.
She had just expressed her feelings to Darcy, and the two of them were in love. Now that they were forced
1/3

to separate and could not contact each other, she could not stand it. She had already decided to marry Darcy after
he returned.
“Silly girl, don’t cry. It’s nothing. They’re just going for business.” Joanna barely comforted her, and her nose began
to ache.
She was even more panicked and worried that something would happen to Bruce.
To be honest, Darcy was a loner who came and went without any worries. Even if he died unluckily, it would not
cause much commotion. If someone like Bruce, who had a family and a huge business empire, died, it would be
even worse.
Grace also noticed the change in Joanna’s tone and felt even more scared. “Joann… Don’t cry anymore. I’m not
blaming you. I’m just worried about them.”
“That’s all for now! I’ll contact you immediately when there’s news.”
“Alright then!”
“Don’t think too much. Go to bed early.”
“Yes, I know.”
After hanging up, Joanna was in a daze for a few minutes. Her mind was in a daze, and her heart was in a
mess.
“Bruce, you damn bastard, you’re always making me worry. What the hell are you doing?”
Joanna was still in a daze when Miranda ran in again.
“Joann, the sun outside is very warm. Go out and bask in the sun.”
“Don’t be cooped up in the house all the time. It’s easy to let your imagination run wild.”
“Alright!” Joanna took a deep breath and did not want to think too much.
Carrying Devin, she also walked out of the house.
At no man’s land.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Bruce slowly regained consciousness. As soon as he opened his eyes, he felt as if he had fallen into a bottomless
abyss and kept spinning in the vortex.
“Ouch, it hurts…” Bruce breathed weakly and rolled his eyes.
In front of him was a large glass cover and various high-tech instruments.
There were also many people in white coats and gas masks walking around.
Bruce was stunned and subconsciously wanted to sit up. “What is this place?”
The moment he moved, he realized his hands and feet were firmly fixed by restraints.
As he woke up, someone exclaimed with Antlenish.
“Oh, he’s awake. Sure enough, his stamina is different from ordinary people.”
“He actually survived the energy radiation. That’s great!”
Then, four or five people immediately surrounded the glass cover. They stood around the glass cover excitedly and
looked at Bruce greedily.
Bruce struggled with all his might, but it was useless.
In front of him, there was a row of things that looked like lampshades. They emitted a faint blue light and shone on
his body. There was a weak stinging feeling. It was like countless thin needles stabbing into his nerves through his
pores.
“This is… District 17!” After Bruce reacted, his mind exploded. He quickly looked around.
That’s right.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt must be the lab in District 17, just like what he had seen in the microchip. There were glass covers and research
tables all around, containing people and various animals.
Through the content of the microchip, he roughly knew that they wanted to modify the human genes.
First, they had to shine energy radiation to destroy the human body’s immune system. Then, they had to

inject humanoid genes to go beyond the various limits of the human body and create a high-level humanoid.
Why capture people like him?
Their physical fitness was different from ordinary people, and they were the best experimental subjects. Ordinary
people would not be able to withstand the radiation and would die quickly.
In the video, there were countless experimental subjects who died in the process of being exposed to energy
radiation. They could not make it to the subsequent experiments at all.
That was why the patrol team did not kill him and brought him back for research.
“Oh, that’s great. Our experiment will definitely succeed this time. This will be a major breakthrough in humanity’s
history…”
Greed appeared in the eyes of the scientists.
That was the first time they had encountered such a powerful test subject.
Bruce had been exposed to the energy radiation for a day and a night and had actually woken up. Moreover, he
was very energetic and clear-headed. Although the few agents from Eprarian captured in District 17 were also good
experimental subjects, they were in a coma for more than half a month before waking up.
Moreover, only one person lasted until the last step and died not long after.
That was the first time someone woke up so quickly.
Bruce’s physique was naturally different from ordinary people’s.
Previously, when he got into a car accident, he was injected with more than 30 doses of gene regeneration shot.
Each shot cost over 200 thousand dollars. After injecting for more than 30 days, his physical fitness was completely
modified.
Moreover, he experienced the RA-2 virus after that. Therefore, his physique and physical fitness were completely
different from ordinary people.
“Urgh, let me out, let me out!” Bruce roared and struggled with all his might, shaking the glass cover. Although the
energy radiation did not hurt much, it was very uncomfortable. He would rather be stabbed.
