Chapter 79: Test Subject No. 1.

Shu Lan moved to the place closest to the door and waved to Shu Maomao: "Baby, lie down and take a nap."

Shu Maomao was reluctant to go to sleep at this time. He was afraid that he would want to wake up but be too sleepy to open his eyes.

This kind of thing happened once before. On the night after the fight with Anselin, he used all his strength but couldn't damage the corner of her clothes. Then he somehow fell asleep until the next afternoon and couldn't wake up even if he wanted to.

Shu Maomao's eyelids began to disobey him, his head felt heavy, and the order to lie down and sleep was extremely attractive to him.

He glanced at Lu Xingyao, whose back was stiff in front of him, the person who was most likely to threaten Shu Lan's safety. Then he took off his sunglasses and sun hat and stuffed them into Shu Lan's hands, along with a cold pistol.

As long as Shu Lan fired, Shu Maomao could use metal control combined with absolute precision to blow Lu Xingyao's head off even without opening his eyes.

Shu Lan let Shu Maomao sleep, on the one hand because she saw that he was really too sleepy to open his eyes, and on the other hand to test Lu Xingyao's sincerity in cooperating.

If Lu Xingyao still feels dissatisfied with the loss of his supernatural powers, then when Shu Maomao falls asleep, it will be his best opportunity to turn against him.

She also has her own weapon, and her weapon is to understand people's hearts.

Judging from Lu Xingyao's previous decisive decision not to call for help, Shu Lan felt that he would not take action.

Besides, she had already explained the pros and cons so clearly in the alley, and he had tasted the sweetness. Anyone with a brain would know how tempting the olive branch she was throwing out was. Even if there were thorns on the branch, who would have the heart to throw it away?

Shu Lan held the gun in his right hand, covered it with his hat, patted Shu Maomao's shoulder with his left hand, leaned back pretending to be relaxed, and occasionally spoke to remind Lu Xingyao which direction to turn.

The car was too quiet and awkward, so Lu Qinghe quietly approached Shu Lan and said, "How old are you? I'm twenty-eight."

When Shu Lan gave birth to Shu Maomao, she was actually just an adult, and considering her son's age, she was about 24 years old.

Her birthday is in autumn, while Shu Maomao's birthday is in spring when the cold rain stops and the temperature turns warmer, so to be precise, Shu Maomao is now five and a half years old.

Shu Lan, who was a habitual liar, casually answered with a number: "Thirty."

"Ah? You're thirty? You can't tell at all."

Shu Lan smiled and said, "You too, if you hadn't told me, I would have thought you were still in school."

No one dislikes a sweet-talker, especially Shu Lan, who would look directly into the other person's eyes sincerely when praising them, without any perfunctory attitude. Lu Qinghe was almost immediately overjoyed.

"He was in school before the outbreak. Your son looks so young. Didn't you have to flee with a baby during the most difficult period?"

"Well, my husband was still alive at that time." Shu Lan's lips slowly dropped, and she said with a hint of sadness, "Later, he was scratched by a zombie while on a mission, and his teammates killed him on the spot. Fortunately, the child was a little older and very obedient by then, so it wasn't as difficult as before."

"Oh oh..." Lu Qinghe said apologetically, "I'm sorry for bringing up your sad story. Let's talk about something else. Guess what my special ability is!"

Lu Xingyao's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to stop his daughter: Don't say that!

But he soon realized that the people in the back seat were targeting everyone's superpowers, and even if Lu Qinghe didn't say anything, they would be taken away sooner or later, unless the plunderers looked down on them.

Lu Xingyao felt a dull pain in his heart and fell into confusion and struggle again. Wasn't he helping the evil?

Everyone, including her daughter, knew nothing about the plundering power and thought that the disappearing power was a punishment from the God of Destruction.

If there really is a God, then punish him first, the most cowardly and biggest liar in District 12.

The other liar pretended to be impeccable: "Let me think, is your ability auxiliary? For example, space, healing, perception..."

"Okay, let's stop trying to enumerate them. I'll tell you the answer. My ability is dream creation."

"Dream making? This is the first time I hear it. How do you use it?"

Lu Qinghe explained, "It's very similar to hypnosis. From a psychological perspective, dreams are a disguised expression of subconscious desires. You express your desires directly to me, and I use language to amplify the effect and return it to you, thus creating a beautiful dream for you. Although this ability is useless against zombies, it can enlighten many people with mental illnesses."

Shu Lan was somewhat disinterested: "So, the thing we created is still fake."

Lu Qinghe said, "Of course, dreams are fake."

At the same time, Shu Maomao, who was unconsciously accepting all the sounds from the outside world, was having an unprecedented strange dream.

He dreamed that he appeared in a very white place, and at the same time, he had many memories that did not belong to him.

In his dreams, his name was not Shu Maomao, but "Subject No. 1". He had been living in this room filled with instruments and materials since he could remember. The person he saw most often was an old man who was always in white clothes.

The people who took care of him called the old man "Dr. Zhao".

Shu Maomao had heard of this man surnamed Zhao because his mother had told him the truth about his birth a long time ago.

She said that an old man named Zhao, in order to make a potion to awaken superpowers, captured a man with plundering powers, locked him in a jar, and studied him every day.

The man seemed to be dying, so the bad old man named Zhao tricked her into going away and wanted to inject a strange liquid into her stomach so that she would give birth to a child who inherited the ability to plunder.

Later, the man suddenly bursts into power and escapes, destroying the laboratory to avenge those who bullied him. Shu Lan also takes the opportunity to escape, and by chance brings out the syringe.

She was afraid that she couldn't survive without her superpowers, so she took a gamble and injected herself with the needle, which led to the birth of Shu Maomao.

Shu Lan said: Baby, although the reason I gave birth to you has nothing to do with love, but from the moment you were willing to come into my belly, it proved that you chose me to be your mommy. I am super touched, and I will love you forever.

However, in the memory of Subject No. 1 in the dream, Shu Lan, who loved him so much, also only had a code name.

She is called the Matrix by them and her status is deceased.

There is not only Shu Lan as the mother. All the women who are called mothers are dead, but there is only one who is called the experimental subject.

Shu Maomao, who had already understood the concept of time axis from Teacher Huo's explanation, realized that this dream was probably another axis mentioned by the system. It was that he had experienced a death regression and his memory was confused.

Shu Maomao was in an extremely bad mood. If he could control "Test Subject No. 1", that is, himself in his dream, he would definitely use all his supernatural powers to destroy this disgusting world without a mommy!

But he couldn't control it. He could only watch impatiently from the perspective and mood of "Experimental Subject No. 1" as Dr. Zhao and other people in white clothes walked back and forth in front of him, saying things that "Experimental Subject No. 1" was tired of hearing and Shu Maomao couldn't understand.

"When the predator uses different superpowers, their genes automatically recombine to create the same genetic combinations as the predator. This proves that the generation of superpowers is related to genetic mutation, but the mutation process has no pattern."

Dr. Zhao was extremely thin, with deeply sunken cheeks and cloudy, lifeless eyes. When no one was around, he would often frantically mutter to himself in front of "Subject No. 1": "Superpowers are also genetic mutations, zombies are also genetic mutations, and I can't find the trigger for your evolution. Why, why? This world keeps subverting everything I've learned! What on earth is human civilization!"

"Test Subject No. 1" never pays attention to Dr. Zhao. He listens to Dr. Zhao only because the other party will give him food when he is hungry. He has nothing else to do except obey. He doesn't even know love.
