Time passed quickly, and Black Sea Bream No.2 mutated just as rapidly.

After ensuring it was well-fed, its appearance seemed to change almost daily.

Three days later, the dorsal fin of Black Sea Bream No.2 had fallen off, replaced by sharp bone spurs, looking particularly terrifying!

The experimental pool was now covered with an iron cage and was even locked with chains!

Despite this, Black Sea Bream No.2 became increasingly violent, frequently ramming the iron cage.

After nearly a week, Black Sea Bream No.2 was unrecognizable!

Its scales remained, but something resembling claws and legs grew from its abdomen.

Even if the pool water was drained, it could breathe normally, having transformed into an amphibious creature similar to a frog! Moreover, it let out bizarre screeches that were unnerving to hear!

During this week, He Xingzhou specially discussed with Wu Rui that, apart from Jiang Chan, no other team members were allowed to observe this mutant creature.

Even so, some rumors spread around the biology lab building.

"Have you heard? The biology lab building is haunted!" students chatted on the school forum.

"You can hear ghostly screams at night!"

"I heard it too. Last night I passed by the biology lab building, and it scared me to death!"

"It sounds like ghosts are eating people!"

Some students dismissed the idea, criticizing, "What era is this, and you still believe in superstitions? It's probably some students watching horror movies or something like the wind."

"No, many people heard it, there wasn't anything like it before!"

The issue of abnormal sounds from the biology lab building became a heated topic on the forum, with someone even saying, "Someone is doing biochemical experiments in the biology lab building!"

"I have a friend who's in some mutant creature research group and heard that He Xingzhou is raising mutant creatures in their lab, and now they won't let them see it!"

"Really? No way, isn't He Xingzhou researching physics? Wasn't he live streaming building a nuclear reactor before?"

"My friend said it, it's absolutely true!"

The rumors grew and became more outrageous, soon turning into a story about He Xingzhou raising zombies in the biology lab building.

"That's terrifying!" In the lab, Wu Rui and Jiang Chan looked at the monster in front of them in horror.

In the cage before them, Black Sea Bream No.2 was crawling with its not-yet-fully-developed claws.

Its body length had reached 0.7 meters, resembling a beast baring its teeth at them.

Fortunately, its vocal organs hadn't fully developed and couldn't let out loud roars, otherwise, they would've attracted attention long ago!

He Xingzhou was also startled by the creature. Who could have imagined that this monstrosity used to be a palm-sized mutant fish not long ago?

"Senior, we can't continue like this!" Jiang Chan said, "This is beyond our control now!"

Wu Rui nodded in agreement, "Yes, we must report it to the school! There are already rumors around the school saying we're conducting biochemical experiments!"

"It's not just the school we need to report to!" At this moment, He Xingzhou had wholeheartedly believed the prediction of the Quantum Light Computer. According to the Zerg gene evolution model he built, these alien creatures would rule the world in the coming decades, at various speeds!

"I need to report this to the nation!" He Xingzhou said firmly, "This is an unprecedented global disaster. Without early preparation, gathering the national force to build defensive measures, humanity is doomed to extinction!"

"Human extinction?" The two still couldn't process it. To them, while the mutant creature was frightening, it hadn't reached the level of a global crisis!

"Senior, will it really come to that?" Jiang Chan's face turned pale.

"It certainly will!" He Xingzhou said, "This week, I've completed my mutant creature evolution model. I believe, using this monster as evidence, along with my research report, it will surely attract higher-level attention!"

"For now, you two shouldn't say anything outside. I'll report this matter!"

At this point, Wu Rui didn't know what else to do, so he nodded and said, "We'll follow your lead!"

He Xingzhou immediately went to find Zhang Boyan. Although Zhang Boyan was a professor of the physics department, he was a big name in academia and knew many people in the National Academy of Sciences.

This kind of thing wasn't something an average person could understand. Only through Zhang Boyan could the matter be conveyed to higher levels!

He Xingzhou checked his messages and found that Zhang Boyan was in the teaching office, so he went there immediately.

In the teaching office, Zhang Boyan was discussing academic issues with Dong Chen when He Xingzhou knocked on the door and entered.

"He Xingzhou, you're just in time!" Zhang Boyan said with a cheerful smile, "I have some good news for you today."

"What is it?" He Xingzhou asked, puzzled.

Zhang Boyan said, "After the school's review, it's been approved for you to continue your studies here without the need for postgraduate exams. You can directly become my master's student!"

Previously, He Xingzhou's nuclear reactor experiment had caused quite a stir in society, and the completion rate of the experiment was very high, earning accolades from the school.

"Thank you, Professor! Thank you, Dean!" He Xingzhou quickly expressed his gratitude.

Dong Chen also smiled, "Don't get complacent, you still have much to learn."

"Yes, I understand," He Xingzhou said.

"By the way, you mentioned you had something to report on the phone?" Zhang Boyan asked.

He Xingzhou glanced around seriously, "Dean, Professor, I do have something very important to report!"

"This matter concerns national security!"

"Concerns national security?" Upon hearing He Xingzhou's words, both men frowned simultaneously.

Dong Chen was even more astonished, "What could be serious enough to reach that level?"

Zhang Boyan was worried, "You haven't built an even larger nuclear reactor yourself, have you? You can't just make these things casually!"

If it was another student, he wouldn't worry about this issue; even if they were given the materials, they couldn't make it. But He Xingzhou had the potential! He could really pull it off!

"No, it's something else!" He Xingzhou said, "Professors, please watch this video first."

He then showed them the video on his phone, featuring Black Sea Bream No.2.

The two professors watched as, inside a cage, a creature neither fish nor animal swallowed an entire live chicken in less than three seconds!

"What's this?" Dong Chen frowned, "Is this some horror movie? He Xingzhou, what exactly are you trying to say?"

Zhang Boyan also said, "Explain your actions, He Xingzhou!"

He Xingzhou replied, "Professors, I don't mean to jest with you, and this is not a movie! It's a real video."

"The creature you're seeing is the mutated Black Sea Bream I used for experiments while making the Miniature Nuclear Fission Reactor a few weeks ago."

"This is one of them!"

"What did you say?" the two professors exclaimed simultaneously, their faces full of disbelief!
