” Ugh.. ”

I came to my senses, hazily, through the pain.

My head was throbbing, my arms wouldn’t move as I wanted them to, and my legs felt strange.

This strange sensation was familiar. It was the same feeling I had when I lost my arm before.

” Ah.. ”

I opened my eyes and checked my legs.

Both legs were cut off and still there.

Only the wound had healed.

And my body was wrapped in rope.

It looked like it was tied haphazardly rather than tied to fit the person’s body.

I looked around and saw that I was in some unknown building. I was on the bed.

I tried to figure out how to escape for a short while, but no result came.

Losing both legs was very fatal.

Of course, this would obviously come back again if I consumed a lot of meat.

” Oh, you’re awake. “

A monster opened the door and came in.

He was so tall that he had to walk while bending over.

” What.. What is it.. ”

I cringed in fear at the sight of the monster.

It’s an action that comes from the thought that he might hit me again.

” You’re reacting uselessly. Didn’t I tell you? I’ll forgive you for tearing off both your legs. “

Oh, I did say something like that. But would you believe it? I don’t know.

” You don’t look very trusting. Don’t be scared. As long as you don’t try to run away uselessly, you won’t get hurt. “

” Ah.. Okay.. ”

I spoke without being able to avoid my cowering body.

I couldn’t help it. The very existence of that thing was intimidating.

” Why did you bring me here? ”

” Well, it’s for my hobby. “

What are you talking about out of the blue..?

” I’m going to experiment with you. “

” I don’t understand what you’re saying… ”

” Just go with what I do. “

” You caught me just to do that..? ”

” Hehe. I can say that now. Well, I guess you’ll understand after experiencing it a few times. “

No, he’s really crazy. And he plays differently than he looks. I thought I might be an endless source of protein for this monster.

” Huh. But it was messed up from the start. When will the leg regenerate? Wasn’t it supposed to heal right away? “

” There’s no way something that convenient could exist.. ”

” Find a way. It’s your body, you know how. “

” Even if you suddenly ask me to find it… ”

” Find it. Otherwise, I will dispose of you. And I will find the woman next to you and use her as a test subject. “

” ….Okay, just wait and think about it.. ”

Musclemon SaeX with a short temper… If I could just kill him, he’d rush at me…

” I need to eat a lot of meat for my legs to grow. I don’t know how much, but it’ll take until they’re fully grown. ”

” Should I do that every time I lose a limb? “

” I don’t know the details. I have never lost a limb before.. ”

” Hmm… Okay. I’ll go get some meat. Any kind is fine, right? “

” I don’t mind, but… are you really going to save me? ”

” Don’t you know how valuable recyclable test subjects are? That’s why young people are like, tsk.. “

It’s confusing. You were just born, right?

” Oh, that’s just a kind of experiment. You don’t need to know the details. “

The monster said so and released the rope that was binding me.

” I’ll tell you again, don’t run away. If you do, something really boring will happen. “

” I know… ”

The monster warned again and then left the room and headed somewhere. It really seemed like it was going to find meat.

I kicked back the blanket and examined my legs.

Although it had been cut off, it was growing back little by little, unlike before.

But the speed was quite slow, so it seemed like it would take a month for it to fully grow.

I couldn’t get out of the room because I had no legs. My body was too short to crawl and grab the doorknob.

It was a cramped space for a monster, but it was a fairly spacious room for someone like me who had no legs.

Since I didn’t know when the monster would come, I couldn’t just wait around, so I just searched the room with my eyes.

Only then could I confirm the existence of the mobile blackboard in front of me.

There were a lot of things written on that blackboard. Most of them were like notes or notes written in a messy manner. And among them, there were a few notes that caught my attention.

××××××××××

3 survivors found

Offer to move to a shelter

They were led inside the laboratory and locked in different rooms.

The survivors are referred to as ABC.

A is continuously fed food contaminated with radioactivity.

They refused to eat, but were only given food contaminated with radioactivity and no other food.

Only then does A cooperate with the experiment.

A’s body condition is getting worse. The skin is starting to peel off slightly.

A also noticed it and stopped eating, but started eating again because he was hungry.

Eventually, at some point, he started vomiting blood and died.

Subject B was instructed to stand outside in the rain.

After exposing it to rain for about an hour, it was confined again and the progress was observed.

The body that was exposed to rain gradually turned red, then inflammation occurred and itching also occurred.

The test subject, unable to bear it any longer, began to scratch all over his body.

Inflammation bursts and blood and pus come out.

The subject continued to scratch without paying any attention.

After scratching for several days, the bleeding got worse.

Eventually died.

Subject C was administered medicine brought from the hospital.

The medications administered are mainly health supplements such as digestive aids, anti-diarrheal agents, and gum medicine.

However, the more Subject C took the medicine, the more his health deteriorated.

He continued to take other medications, but there was no improvement and he eventually died from organ failure.

×××××××××××

These words were written on the iron plate.

This experiment revealed several facts. First of all, this experiment seemed to have occurred shortly after the nuclear war.

The test subjects that came with the word shelter were related to contamination.

But it’s really strange.

The things that came out in the experiment are things that I have already experienced.

I have been eating food all along, drinking rainwater, and taking medicine.

The shelter family also ate outside food, and Seoyeon ate food and took medicine.

But we didn’t have any particular problems.

How long has it been since the actual experiment?

Another thing we found out is that there are more than one person leading this experiment.

If you look at the contents of searching for survivors, managing test subjects, and conducting experiments, it will definitely be more than one or two.

It was full of technical terms that I couldn’t understand, and no matter how much I looked at it, I still couldn’t understand it.

Is the monster thinking of turning me into a test subject?

A living test subject with infinite refills… it’s enough to make a monster drool.

The world has become so chaotic that there may be no need to worry, but it wouldn’t have been easy to save people.

As I was thinking that, the door opened.

” Hoo.. You really didn’t run away and were doing well. “

The monster said this and put down the corpse he was carrying on his shoulder.

The body was identified as a dog with its neck broken.

” You brought something pretty big. ”

” It might be big for you, but it looks small to me. “

I guess that’s because he looks down on everything with that size.

” Don’t wipe your spit. “

Huh.. I put my hand to my mouth in surprise. Before I knew it, I was drooling at the sight of that corpse.

” I’ll put it here, so come and eat. “

” I can’t go. How can I go without legs? ”

” Heh. Crawl. With both arms, fiercely. “

The monster said so with an evil laugh.

This sadist. He seems to have a taste for tormenting me.

I wanted to rebel, but the pressure from that big body made me nervous.

And the smell of blood flowing from that corpse was so sweet it was intoxicating.

I thought about it for a while, but realized that there was no other way, so I approached the body with both arms.

He arrived in front of the corpse and opened his mouth to start eating.

” Hehe, hehe, that’s really funny. It’s no different from a bug crawling on the ground. “

The monster taunted from the side, but I tried to ignore it and continued eating.

I was so hungry that I couldn’t even eat much because I couldn’t put so much in this small body.

Eventually, they ate all the meat, removing the bones and hair.

The monster came up to me, grabbed me by the neck, lifted me up, and looked at my legs as it spoke.

” Hoo, you’re really growing. Little by little, but you’re making progress. “

” You lack faith. ”

” If it was a lie, I would have strangled you to death. If it doesn’t regenerate, there’s no need. “

” …What kind of experiment are you trying to do..? ”

” Everything you want to know. Well, don’t worry. I won’t kill you. Yeah. I won’t kill you. Hehe. “

The monster looked at me and smiled evilly.

I guess they’re thinking of doing an experiment worse than death.

” The experiment is tomorrow. “

” Huh? ”

suddenly?

” I don’t have legs? ”

” It doesn’t matter. Go to sleep. “

And then he just left. What on earth was he trying to do?

##########

When I woke up, the monster brought a stand and a bunch of ringers.

But inside the ringer, there was a red liquid instead of a clear liquid.

” Is that blood? ”

” Yes. The blood that will be injected into you. Each of these has a different blood type. Well, there is some non-human blood mixed in, but that doesn’t matter. “

It seems like he’s planning to pour a lot of different kinds of blood into my body.

” Why are you doing this? ”

” Hehe. Even a little kid like you wouldn’t know. Just quietly accept the blood transfusion. “

The monster stuck needles into both of my arms and connected me to an IV drip.

” Hehe. It’s been a long time since I’ve done an experiment. I hope it entertains me. “

” You crazy bastard… ”

” Curse your fate of being caught by that crazy bastard. “
