Chapter 221 The Creator
On the second underground floor of the Special Management Bureau, in the laboratory of the Scientific Council, a tall red-haired man stood in front of a broken petri dish, seemingly thinking about something.
The liquid in the petri dish has drained away, and the things that once lived in it are now gone.
Questioning from higher-ups was inevitable, but Wu Qin didn't care at all. As the chairman of the Science Council, all he had to consider was how to get more experimental data from aliens or other life forms.
In his eyes, there is no difference between humans and aliens. As long as they can make the world move forward, they are all good.
"President Wu."
Qian Gongyue stood at the door and knocked. She had been working in the Science Council as Wu Qin's personal assistant for a month.
Although she had not participated in any experimental projects during this period, she had heard about the escaped experimental subjects.
It is said that this thing originated from a part of the body of some ancient alien species in China. This alien species is so unique that it is even unknown whether it is an alien species or whether it has life.
I heard that people in the lab call it...Tai Sui.
From the archives, Qian Gongyue learned that this meat mass was not aggressive and was edible. Its original body had not been discovered yet, and the ones found in various parts of China were all pieces of meat split from the real Tai Sui.
What is astonishing is that this piece of meat actually has independent vitality. After eating it, it can greatly enhance the functions of the human body and the power of the alien.
But at the same time, it will also enter the human body along with some highly toxic substances. According to Wu Qin, this thing is a double-edged sword. If you can withstand this toxin, then it is a treasure for you. If you can't withstand it, then it is poison.
"It's like some kind of screening, a trial."
Qian Gongyue once heard Wu Qin say this when they were analyzing a report together.
Qian Gongyue didn't know much about this president. Although she was his direct subordinate and was responsible for assisting him in research, the tasks Wu Qin assigned to Qian Gongyue were not very complicated experiments. He just asked her to collect some data with other researchers.
It can be said that Qian Gongyue did not really see Wu Qin many times in this month, but every time he saw him, he was in the laboratory. It seemed as if this man had no private life of his own, and he devoted everything to scientific experiments.
Qian Gongyue also did not find any other colleagues with whom Wu Qin had a good relationship in the Tianhai City Special Management Bureau.
Except for one person, Mo Qiao, the director of the engineering department.
Of course, it cannot be said that they have a good relationship, because every time they meet, the two of them will have an "academic" discussion. When the discussion is heated, Mo Qiao will even take out the wrench he carries with him to show his determination not to compromise.
The most recent quarrel was because of this special outlier, Tai Sui.
Mo Qiao believed that this thing had no self-awareness and had an almost obsessive desire to devour the breath and power of alien species, but was not aggressive towards humans.
Therefore, she feels that the study of Tai Sui is meaningless, and no one, whether human or alien, should pin their hopes for the future on this "shortcut".
If you want to become stronger, you must rely on science and reasonable means. This is why the engineering department and the scientific council exist.
But Wu Qin laughed at Mo Qiao's short-sightedness. Everything about Tai Sui was worth studying. Especially recently, Wu Qin discovered that after fusing the genes of Tai Sui with those of other alien species, Tai Sui's flesh would undergo changes in shape and strength attributes.
For example, the cholera-level Zangguo that was killed by Huo Tian, the former captain of the seventh team, was a good experimental material. By fusing the genes of that Zangguo with Tai Sui, Tai Sui's flesh began to gradually change into the shape of Zangguo.
Even the power is gradually approaching cholera level.
"And what? Besides creating another monster that threatens both the Special Management Bureau and humanity, what else did you do?"
Faced with Mo Qiao's questioning, Wu Qin just pushed his eyes away without comment.
"We're talking about life, Minister Mo. You're still young, not even an adult yet. You can't understand the significance of creating life. The power, or rather, the alien nature, possessed by Tai Sui not only accelerates the birth of life but can even inherit it. Experimental data shows that this Tai Sui, which has fused with the genes of the Huan Kingdom, has inherited some of that Huan Kingdom's memories. It even simulated the fragments of the World Heart within Huan Kingdom's body. This is simply... astonishing."
As he spoke, Wu Qin projected his own photo on the projector, but Tai Sui, who had completely transformed into the form of the Huan Kingdom in the petri dish, did not react at all.
But when Wu Qin transformed the photo into Huo Tian.
The Tai Sui suddenly opened its cloudy eyes, its breath began to become heavy, and the liquid in the entire petri dish began to boil.
"...It actually... even inherited my memories?"
"A great discovery! If we can confirm that this Tai Sui can perfectly inherit everything from that Cholera-class beast, then we will be able to cultivate the most perfect creature in the world, powerful, immortal, and integrating all the advantages and powers of all other creatures."
"Do you know what you're talking about? You red-haired monkey! Has your brain ever been pinched by these experimental instruments?!"
Mo Qiao was extremely angry. Although she usually thought Wu Qin was a lunatic, she never expected his idea to be so bold.
"Have you ever thought about this, that if something like this, which has integrated all the powers of other species, harbors evil thoughts, who in this world can stop it?!"
"The meaning of creating life lies in its inheritance. If the life in this world truly makes it feel dispensable, then let it be destroyed."
"You lunatic! If the Overwatch Council hears what you're saying, you deserve to die ten times over!"
"Mo Qiao, your brain can be said to be the most perfect thing in the world. Do you know why?"
Wu Qin turned his head and looked at Mo Qiao, with a chilling glint in his eyes behind the lenses.
"Because of your potential for growth, you're still young, yet you're so intelligent and unparalleled. In time, your accomplishments will surely surpass those of your ancestors. This is the inheritance of life, don't you understand? But you also have limitations, the limitations of humanity. No matter how brilliant your life is, it will only last a few hundred years. After a hundred years, how will you pass on everything you have to future generations? You don't think there are other geniuses like you, do you?"
He slowly turned to Mo Qiao, and his tone was not as cold as usual, but instead revealed a hint of fanaticism.
"Think about it, Mo Qiao. If your brain could combine with Tai Sui, the immortal creature, combined with your wisdom, would create such a wonderful world. And think about us, its creators. How would it treat us? Would it worship us as gods, or would it consider us unworthy and exterminate us all? Isn't that fascinating?"
"Wu Qin, you are a fucking lunatic."
Mo Qiao stared at Wu Qin coldly, then turned and walked out of the laboratory. She said coldly as she left.
"I will report this to the Overwatch Council. This isn't an attempt to argue with you, President Wu. The Engineering Department and the Science Council are all working to make this world a better place, not to leave its fate in the hands of a stitched monster."
So, that night after Mo Qiao reported the incident.
Tai Sui is missing.
At this moment, Qian Gongyue discovered that Wu Qin, who was standing in front of the broken petri dish with an expressionless face, suddenly revealed a strange smile.
