Because the toxic gas had dissipated, Erdogan soon located the other Zerg who had been knocked unconscious. Fortunately, they were all unharmed and had simply passed out.
Xiangchen had taken only Haoyi, the Zerg of interest for his experiments. As it turned out, the laboratory was not at all as the case file had described. Xiangchen was the mastermind, and the Zerg who had been captured was his own, as well as a research assistant. That Zerg had lied to cover for Xiangchen, claiming to be the lead perpetrator and providing false information to mislead them.
Xiangchen and his accomplices had been secretly capturing Zerg to conduct experiments on genetic defects. Naturally, Xiangchen wasn’t doing this for the common good; he was doing it for himself. He was a Zerg suffering from a genetic defect that prevented him from secreting pheromones. Consequently, he not only looked down upon the Zerg who despised him but also harbored a deep hatred for the Zerg who bullied him. Over time, this evolved into a hatred for all healthy Zerg, and curing his genetic defect became his obsession.
