Chapter 56 Another Child
Lin Jiaran's face turned from red to green as she realized that, in terms of genetically, she didn't even know how many children she had.
Just as having a bomb in their brain is commonplace, these clones often lie on the operating table while researchers remove various things from their bodies.
How many of Chen Yuezhou and Lin Ran's sperm and eggs are frozen in the lab? And how many of hers and Chen Xi's are frozen?
These sperm and eggs have already been combined freely, haven't they?
Lin Jiaran had never returned to Satellite Base 3, where the large incubation chamber was located, but she felt that there must be many children there, at the genetic level, belonging to her and Chen Xi, to her and Chen Yuezhou, and to her and other strange men.
The oldest of these children is probably already 4 years old.
She had her first period when she was 14 years old...
Lin Jiaran slowly returned to her room, sat on the sofa, and then bent her legs, shrinking herself into the sofa.
She just arrived at the base today; this is her own home.
After returning from last year's Mother Nest Battle, she now has a home, her own office, and her own contribution card.
They didn't take away the phone she bought at the Central Plains Base No. 3!
Lin Jiaran was so excited that she couldn't sleep for the first three nights in the new house!
She is herself now! She has her own identity, her own friends, and her own family!
Before, she only had eyes for Lin Ran, and even after Lin Ran died, she kept staring at her "ghost." Everything she did was so stupid!
Can't she be happy on her own?
Can she be happy? Lin Jiaran looked around and felt that the house she had carefully arranged seemed to be filtered through a cold and distant lens.
The sofa beneath her felt unfamiliar, as if it never belonged to her and was merely a decoration in a showroom.
Lin Jiaran stood there for a while, then subconsciously took out her phone.
......
On the other hand, Qi An and his companion had just moved into a new home, but neither of them had tidied it up at all.
Their house really is just like the show flat.
Upon receiving Lin Jiaran's message, Qi An's previously eased mood plummeted, and he said in a deep voice:
"Jia Ran really did receive that mission to have a baby!"
Tan Fu went to hide the access device. Hearing this, he peeked out from the bedroom and asked, "Did she ask a few more questions? Does this mission actually require them to undergo a Level 2 mutation in late pregnancy?"
“She didn’t ask; she only knew that she still had to conceive naturally.” Qi An’s face scrunched up as he looked at the word “natural conception.”
Tan Fu's face also wrinkled: "This silly old lady, we can't count on her at all!"
Does she have a way to find out? Like, find out about what I mentioned during the day.
During the day, Tan Fu not only thought about Lin Jiaran's mission, but also about why the new student base had issued such a mission.
If the newborn base really intends to mass-produce children like Qi An, then the newborn base must first know what conditions must be met to obtain a miraculous child.
Could it be that the new student base has already investigated Qi An's background and her amazing abilities beforehand?
Or is there another child in the new student base whose situation is similar to Qi An's?
"Not only do you have super strong mental power, you can also use pollution to make yourself grow tentacles!"
This is the most crucial point, the core of the secret! It also determines the upper limit of your abilities and the taboos.
If there's someone in the new student base in the same situation as you, can they also grow tentacles?
What's their current situation? How strong are they? Even though they're definitely younger than you, what if they know a little more than you?
Tan Fu concluded: "I think this person is quite crucial; he can serve as an important reference for developing your abilities and avoiding taboos."
Qi Anshen agreed.
If there really is such a child, she would love to meet him/her.
......
Night also enveloped the northwestern land.
In the Xiyu No. 1 base, in the original housing complex where they chose their apartments, Chen Yuezhou was fast asleep in the large bedroom of the top-floor right-hand unit.
There was also a child in his dream.
The little boy from the orphanage was adopted and came to a luxurious and bright new home.
Unlike Xiaoyun, the girl beside him, he was not excited; instead, he felt uneasy.
Perhaps it was because the new home was located in the mountains, where the night was quiet and secluded, but after nightfall one could hear the calls of many kinds of animals and birds, a chaotic mix that made one uneasy.
The boy always felt that there were other sounds besides the calls of birds and beasts, but he couldn't distinguish them.
He only spent one night in the bedroom of his new home.
The next morning, he and Xiaoyun both got up early and got dressed and washed up obediently.
Xiaoyun was going to the kitchen to cook, but breakfast was already set out on the long dining table on the first floor.
What a sumptuous breakfast! There were two bulging sandwiches with several layers of filling, warm milk, a plate of pan-fried mushrooms and lettuce, and a plate of colorful small fruits—exquisite and plentiful!
The two children's eyes widened involuntarily and then brightened!
Xiaoyun was overjoyed at her new life once again, but dared not take the plunge.
In the study, the owner of the house, the man who had only peeked out halfway—and still only peeked out halfway—said:
"This is for you, please eat."
Xiaoyun immediately smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Uncle Yu! Have you had breakfast yet, Uncle?"
This man said his surname was Yu and told them to call him "Uncle Yu".
After Uncle Yu answered "We've eaten," the two children washed their hands and sat down at the table.
Still being young, we had to be very careful with the food. But after enjoying the delicious treat, the two children showed genuine joy and satisfaction.
The boy's legs, which were dangling under the table, swayed slightly after he tasted the fragrant bacon.
But after the initial shock, his mind began to waver as well.
It seemed like it was getting dark again, or maybe his vision went black! The boy collapsed onto the dining table.
What follows should be unconscious, but the dream seems to be distorted. The man in the dream has a furrowed brow and dreams that he is sometimes placed on a fire and sometimes immersed in ice water.
His skin seemed to be cracking open inch by inch, and his bones were being broken and then reassembled!
It was so painful, like being reborn!
However, one cannot feel pain in a dream. The person dreaming actually has a perception of "being in pain," and that pain manifests as an extreme fear.
The fear almost woke Chen Yuezhou, but when he opened his eyes, he saw a simple ceiling with an iron-gray, steel-framed structure, a trolley full of various medical instruments next to him, and a table with a microscope in the distance.
He was still dreaming, still in the body of a child.
His limbs and waist were each wrapped with a sturdy leather belt, the ends of which were secured to the iron frame of the hospital bed with handcuff-like metal rings.
He was bound, yet his body felt light and swollen, like a toy wound up.
The boy tugged at his arm, and it made a loud "bang"!
The leather restraints seemed to have been stretched to their elastic limit by that moment, becoming taut and tight.
He was startled himself! Did he really have that much strength?
Even the bird with the messy hair, who was dozing off next to the microscope, was startled and woke up.
He looked at the boy, and his eyes widened instantly!
The boy with the messy hair rushed over, glanced at the vital signs monitoring screen next to the hospital bed, and then saw the restraints that the boy had straightened again. He paused for a moment, then turned and ran towards the stairwell.
Hurried footsteps echoed from the stairwell as "Uncle Yu" ran down to the boy's bedside.
"He survived! He... he's the first one to survive!" Uncle Yu murmured.
He was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed excitedly, "Give him a checkup!"
Chicken-haired boy immediately went to prepare the blood-drawing needle, while Uncle Yu stared at the boy with a strangely bright gaze.
The boy went from being bewildered to feeling a chill run down his spine, then his eyes turned fierce! He yanked the restraints hard once more!
This time he really went all out; he even tore the leather strap off his right arm!
The boy immediately sat up straight and used his free hand to push Uncle Yu away.
Uncle Yu knocked over the monitoring device and then slammed it hard onto the table.
A jumble of instruments and debris clattered down, and the boy, with all his might, tore off the restraints on his other hand!
His legs were stronger than his arms, but the two belts around his waist were too thick and heavy!
The boy's limbs were freed, and he grabbed the waist restraints with both hands and pulled upwards with force!
He was about to tear it apart, but the guy with the messy hair dropped the syringe, lunged into the pile of junk, and pulled out a plastic handgun.
He cursed "Shit! Shit!" repeatedly as he pulled the trigger on the boy.
An anesthetic needle with a syringe was inserted into the boy's arm. The boy turned his head and stared at the messy hair, which made the messy hair tremble.
“What the fuck…” he muttered.
The boy snapped the tighter restraint strap! His small body shrank upwards, about to squeeze through the last strap.
Uncle Yu snatched the tranquilizer gun from Chicken Messy Head and shot the boy in the side of his neck.
The first shot made the boy's body stiffen slightly, and Uncle Yu immediately fired another shot.
He was decisive and accurate, firing a total of four shots!
This was a dose of medicine strong enough to incapacitate a tiger. The boy, who had already stood up, swayed unsteadily. He took a step forward, but missed a step and fell off the bed.
As darkness fell, Chen Yuezhou suddenly woke up in reality!
He was not awakened by a nightmare, but by his phone alarm.
It's already 6 a.m.
Chen Yuezhou was covered in sweat and lay on the bed in a daze for a long time before finally getting up from under the covers.
He went into the bathroom barefoot and took a shower naked.
Cold water droplets rolled over his sharply defined eyebrows, bouncing and sliding down between his muscles, completely waking him up.
After showering for 10 minutes, Chen Yuezhou turned off the shower, wiped the mirror, and looked at the person in the mirror.
He was certain that the content of his dream was his hidden memory, and he had been having similar dreams frequently lately.
The person in my dream said, "He survived! He was the first to survive!"
Is it the Kuroshio virus? Chen Yuezhou frowned, wondering. Was he the first person to survive among those infected with the Kuroshio virus?
Was he the world's first enhanced individual?
