Chapter 103 - Samples.

After some time, in the room, Abella was standing at the bedside with hands folded around her chest, while Jack was sitting on the bed burying his head into the plates eating the food prepared by her. In the entire silent room, there were only the slurping sounds of eating noodles made by Jack. While Arther was leaning to the room's door watching his father and mother with an awkward smile on his face.

Even after the soup was finished Jack didn't dare to look up, he slowly placed the bowl down and sat there obediently like a child after being caught doing something wrong. After what happened in the driver's cabin he didn't have the courage to look up at Abella.

Since he has woken up from the coma he kept feeling a burning sensation inside his stomach with sharp hunger pangs. Due to this Abella had to hurriedly cook food for Jack. But what was shocking was that it has been an hour since he was eating but still there doesn't seem to be any signs of fulfilling his hunger. For the last full hour, Abella was completely tired out by the cooking. 

They tried everything possible from heavy meats products to soothing green vegetables, even a large amount of chocolate and Icecream also failed to relieve Jack from hunger. 

The burning sensation in his stomach seemed to be a raging fire that swallowed anything put inside. Now even Arther was starting to get a bit surprised and worried. He was not much surprised by the appetite of his father since in his previous life he heard of many such bloodline awakeners. 

There was even a certain someone he heard about in his previous life who needed ten whole adult mutated calves for each meal. One should know that any mutated animal's body has ten times more energy than its normal form, and the mutated cow belonged to the huge body type animals with body size double the normal times.

Of course, the more consumption there is the higher the output. That person had the titan bloodline and was the lord of a famous faction and base. His strength was among the top hundred strong people of the northern region. 

What surprised Arther was that this amount of consumption was only observed in the later stages of a few abilities. It is also observed after the awakening of a few bloodline awakeners which results in permanent changes in the body such as the titan bloodline which increases the body mass, the angel bloodline which grows wings, etc.. this metamorphosis requires a high amount of energy for the first time to complete these mutations. 

But Arther didn't find any such changes in his father's body. This confused him a little bit.

After another half an hour of gorging on the food, all the current cooked food was also finished but Jack still didn't seem to be satisfied. So he looked at Abella standing in front of him with a pitiful gaze.

Seeing this Abella had a dark line on her face, even she was also starting to feel anxious.

"sigh, you old man still not full?"

"I don't know why my stomach seems to be an endless pit. How much ever I eat I still feel empty.", Jack also seemed to be annoyed now by his hunger and also felt worried. He knows very well the value of food in this end times and if he will this much amount of food every day all of them will sooner or later run out of food.

But Abella didn't seem to understand this, she turned around and was ready to bring more food.

"Hold on or some more time, I will bring more food. However big your appetite is it won't be endless."

"Sigh.....or else let it be, I don't think I will be full even if I eat double the food I have till now."

Seeing his father's self-blaming expression Arther was also a bit distressed. But he didn't have an answer to this situation too. Suddenly the room became silent. 

Suddenly there was a knock on the door before anyone could answer the door is was pushed open. 

Mey came in hurriedly carrying some of her instruments and tubes from the laboratory, she was so excited that she didn't even feel the odd atmosphere in the room. 

**********

Some time ago,

Mey and Arther escorted Jack to his room. For the entire time, Mey was holding back her excitement. But when they came to the room and Jack sat on the bed she put forward her motive,

"Hey Jack, you know I have been working on gene mutation among living things for most of my life, for the past many years the entire biology field has struck at a bottleneck." while speaking she tried to sound as pitiful and sad as possible as she knew Jack was a kind guy and can be taken advantage of in this way.

On the side, Arther saw through her acting from the beginning but didn't try to intervene since he knew she was not a mad scientist who will harm Jack for the research. 

And more importantly, he had already thought of developing in science and technology, and Mey was his first investment. So providing some research materials is not a loss at all.

But Jack didn't seem to feel anything wrong with what Mey said, he was distracted by the burning hunger,

Seeing that Jack didn't speak Mey continued, "I think your bloodline awakening can be of some help for me. So....can I collect some samples from you........ Don't worry it will not be harmful, I will just collect some pieces of your hair, dead cells, and some blood."

After speaking she looked at Jack nervously as she knew if he denied she can't get the samples in any way.

"Yeah I don't mind.", knowing that it will not be harmful Jack didn't mind with it too. He also expected Mey to make a breakthrough that can strengthen all of them making their survival more secure.

Back to the present,

"Hahaha, Jack looks like you have finished eating, good good. I came at the right time.", she hurriedly put the instrument box aside on the bed while skillfully taking out a scalpel and knife.

"Come here, let me take some samples for my research."
