Chapter 69 There are many more people like this.
The clones at the new base aren't limited to just Chen Yuezhou and Lin Ran; there are actually many other styles.
The large, belly-shaped section in the center of the "four-pointed star" is the office area.
As Lin Weiying passed by the information department, she glanced over and saw a young man, about her age, sitting at a corner workstation.
The young man's features were more defined and striking than those of the "Chen Jis," and his hair was a brownish-yellow.
The focus in this large office seemed to be on the young man named Huang Yajun.
The small-eyed man, with his arm draped over the young man's workstation, was sighing:
"Little Huang made a great contribution to this system upgrade!"
Xiao Huang did a lot of work on both the protocol updates between each cabin and the main service, and the upgrades to the alarm system. He also wrote the entire central temperature control scheduling algorithm, which saved 20% on energy!
Have you all seen the face of that old man from the energy department these past two days? For the first time, he doesn't look like a donkey anymore.
"Little Huang is amazing!"
With his small eyes praising, he reached out to pat Huang Yajun, but instead of patting his shoulder, he patted his head, making a "slap, slap" sound.
The boy tilted his head slightly and remained silent.
A man walked in through the door on the other side of the office.
His face looks very much like Huang Yajun's, only he looks 30 years older, and his eye bags seem to droop down to the tip of his nose.
The man leaned against the door, glancing at Huang Yajun with a half-smile:
"Little Huang made a great contribution."
Upon hearing the voice, the small-eyed man felt a jolt run down his spine, quickly turned around, and his smile became exaggerated:
"Good afternoon, Manager Huang. Ah, Xiao Huang has indeed made a contribution. After all, good bamboo can't produce bad bamboo shoots!"
Xiao Huang's current coding skills are all thanks to your excellent genes; in the end, it's all thanks to you!
Without you, where would he be?
About half the people in the office echoed this sentiment, showering him with compliments, and the atmosphere became noisy and lively.
Manager Huang's smile became slightly more genuine, then he said calmly:
"This achievement is the result of the team; Huang Yajun only completed his assigned task."
The temperature control algorithm still has significant flaws, which he didn't even notice.
The office was silent for a moment before the man with small eyes spoke first: "Indeed, there are still many areas for improvement. We can't get carried away by a little achievement."
Xiao Huang hasn't finished organizing the system logs yet; it's been two days.
Manager Huang used to be much more efficient than this.
The last sentence sounded like a muttering, but it was quite loud, just enough for Manager Huang at the door to hear.
Supervisor Huang glanced at him, his smile becoming more relaxed and obvious, and his voice softening again:
"This major system upgrade is complete. Regardless of whether there's still room for improvement, everyone has worked hard. This month's bonus will be at least 50% higher than last month's!"
The office erupted in cheers!
Amid cheers, the team leader in the office said, "Let Xiao Huang work tonight. He's young, he can handle it, so working a few extra shifts won't hurt."
Supervisor Huang seemed to smile again, and walked over amidst the cheers, patting Huang Yajun on the shoulder.
He looked at him, his gaze seemingly carrying a hint of encouragement and pride, but he offered no objection to the unreasonable duty roster arrangement.
Lin Weiying waited until the office became quiet again before taking a few steps forward.
Huang Yajun, who was sitting in the corner of the room, heard the noise and turned around.
Lin Weiying smiled at him and gave him a thumbs up.
The boy's tightly clenched lips finally relaxed slightly.
He gave her a faint smile, his gaze softening from its previous indifference.
......
As dusk approached, Lin Weiying wandered around for a long time before exiting the incubation chamber through the back door.
She let out a long breath and gazed at the distant mountain shadows.
The mountains, bathed in the setting sun, presented a gentle yet poignant beauty.
The lush shadows of the trees in the mountains swayed slightly, and a woman stepped out from among them, standing on the rocks facing the wind, overlooking the small town below.
"I told you, there are plenty of people like you among humanity," the woman said casually, wearing an earphone in her right ear.
......
Qi An had just put on his headphones.
She had just said goodbye to her friends with whom she had dinner 10 minutes ago.
After a year apart, some people look the same as before, while others have changed a lot, such as Gu Liansheng.
That man was still burly, with raised eyebrows and fierce eyes; his appearance exuded a restless masculine energy.
However, he has become much calmer in personality, and his prestige in the Martial God team seems to have increased significantly.
It was probably because Zhou Yanhui, who was as famous as him, had left, and Chen Yuezhou had also left.
Gu Liansheng had been walking very close to Qi An, and glancing slightly at Chen Xi behind him, he whispered:
"He's perfectly capable of being the head of the brigade; there's nothing wrong with his work."
But he just didn't really want to be in that position; he was completely different from his previous commissar.
Qi An understood what he meant: Chen Xi could coordinate the overall situation and command operations, but unlike Chen Yuezhou, he didn't really enjoy commanding.
Between liking and disliking, wanting to do and not wanting to do, countless subtle differences will inevitably arise.
When Gu Liansheng was under Chen Yuezhou's command, he would do whatever he was told without thinking. But when he followed Chen Xi, he had to use his brain.
So he's much more composed than before.
Qi An then suddenly thought of another question: "So, would you clone yourself?"
Gu Liansheng was taken aback: "Huh?"
But he also understood. Their base had now opened up cloning technology, and anyone, inside or outside the base, who had the idea and was qualified, could participate in cloning.
He's an S-class superhuman, so he's definitely qualified.
But after thinking for a long time, Gu Liansheng said in a low voice, "...No way. Soldiers usually clone themselves because they're afraid that if they die one day, their lives will continue or something."
But what if I don't die before I retire?
I'm cloning now. The clone grows up and is from a different generation than me. Should I treat him as my son, or as myself?
Of course, the clone belongs to the base, and I have no authority to arrange his/her fate.
If the base assigns him a suicide mission, should I be upset or not?
If I could arrange things for him, and he became one of my soldiers, I would be an old man by then, while he would be young and strong, having been trained since childhood. Wouldn't he be better than me?
Will I be jealous if I see him?
Gu Liansheng frowned more and more as he spoke, and finally concluded: "I'd better not clone it."
Qi An recalled how Gu Liansheng, just like before, proudly and passionately recommended the freshman training base to her today, and couldn't help but say:
"You love your base the most, so isn't this a contribution to the base?"
Unexpectedly, this person, who was not kidnapped, immediately said, "Haven't I contributed to the base yet? Every single scar on my body has contributed to the base!"
Qi An couldn't help but smile: "Indeed."
But Lin Jiaran said, "I think you're overthinking it. Maybe your blood and sperm are already in the cold storage."
"Once you die, no matter what your last wish is, a new Gu Liansheng will appear."
Lin Jiaran spoke very softly, almost muttering.
After muttering to herself, she ignored Gu Liansheng's question about whether he had heard her clearly and asked her to repeat herself, and walked forward in a daze.
This person's behavior today is quite unusual, or perhaps they've been in an abnormal state for the past few days.
She was apprehensive, worried, yet excited!
Occasionally, she would be lost in thought when she would suddenly wake up with a shiver, then quickly cover her face and rub off the heat of excitement with her icy hands.
At the dinner table, Qi An warned Lin Jiaran with his eyes: Calm down! If you keep going like this, you'll give yourself away before you even take any action!
Lin Jiaran forced herself to remain calm, and at least when they parted, her posture and expression were still normal as she greeted everyone and turned around.
After the excitement subsided, Qi An put on his headphones, listened to music at a very low volume, and slowly walked back to his residence.
At 9 p.m. sharp, she began sending and receiving messages to confirm that Tan Fu had finished organizing Li Heng's information and had prepared hundreds of emails.
Chen Xi is leaving the day after tomorrow to carry out a three-day patrol mission.
The team sent by the captain is already not far from the territory of the new student base.
Qi An looked up at the crescent moon outside the window.
Today is April 30th, and everything is going according to plan.
......
The next day was also a sunny day, and Qi An went to Gao Ping Le again to purify him.
Wang Zhuoran caught her, and after she finished purifying herself, he began to dump a whole bunch of problems out of her.
Qi An wore an unyielding expression, only answering selectively, and lying about the ones he couldn't avoid or didn't want to answer.
After answering, she mentioned her departure, requesting to leave on the morning of the 2nd, or at the latest, the 3rd.
The shadow in Gao Pingle's mental world has become very small; the rest is up to him to resolve.
The defection operation is scheduled for the 4th, and Qi An staying here might only add more uncertainty.
She had already made her demands to the new student base: they had to guarantee her safety, and if she wanted to leave, they couldn't stop her.
She completed her stated tasks admirably, and the new student base had no reason to obstruct her.
After consulting with his superiors, the officer smiled and said, "Lieutenant Colonel Qi has been a great help to our base, and the base cannot fail to express its gratitude."
Several organizations have pooled their money tonight to treat Lieutenant Colonel Qi to a simple meal.
Qi An raised an eyebrow, but still didn't want to cause any trouble, so he simply said, "Thank you, I appreciate your kindness, but I'm a little tired and just want to rest tonight."
If it's not too much trouble, meals can be delivered to my place.
The officer pressed his earpiece, paused for a moment, and then smiled, "Okay, please get some rest. We'll send you a big meal."
