Chen Yan had no idea what Yu Jingren and Guan Wei had discussed. He didn't even know that after he completed the task, Guan Wei went to Yu Jingren to discuss the issue of zero-pollution water.
After getting the necessary potions, Chen Yan immediately left the giant wall and headed towards the settlement with the rest of the team.
The planned level 6 and level 7 potions have been obtained, and an additional level 5 potion was obtained, which exceeded expectations.
This level five potion can be injected into Xu Qinghe, while others will have to wait.
However, after figuring out the effect of the blue potion, successfully replicating the potion, and completing the in vivo injection and cell transformation, Chen Yan's current biggest concern was no longer the genetic potion.
What he was most concerned about was how to communicate with people in a small group about becoming a sub-body.
There were only two options before him. One was to tell the truth to the people in the small group and clearly tell them that his blood was already infectious.
As long as a syringe of his blood is injected, the person being injected will be transformed into a being equivalent to a 'sub-body', who will be 100% loyal and trustful to him, and will never betray him no matter what happens!
On the premise of preserving one's own independent personality and will, one would put his interests and demands at the highest priority, and even if his orders meant committing suicide, one would willingly obey...
Another way is to hide the details from the people in the small group by deceiving them.
He just told the small group that since he himself had not suffered any pollution, his blood was also uncontaminated.
After the injection of uncontaminated blood, Xu Qinghe's body responded well. Not only did he not experience any negative sequelae, but he seemed to have greater potential for development.
It also has a very positive effect on the subsequent unlocking process of the gene lock in the body.
In this case, drawing some blood from his body and injecting it little by little to the people in the small group, trying to achieve a similar purification effect as what happened to Xu Qinghe, should be acceptable to everyone in the small group.
Both methods have their advantages and disadvantages.
If we are honest, it is difficult to guarantee whether the people in the small group will agree.
Although it sounds like being infected has no direct impact on the people in the small group, once they become "offspring", everyone in the small group is essentially an extension of his will.
What each person will face after becoming a 'sub-body' depends entirely on the mood of the 'original body', which will bring people great uncertainty and great anxiety.
If he were in the other person's shoes, Chen Yan felt that if he were faced with such a choice, he would definitely not agree!
How is this different from being someone else's slave?
They are just slaves who appear to be relatively free, but in fact they are even more exaggerated than slaves.
At least the slave can still slander and curse the master in his mind, but the 'sub-body' will happily accept any order from the 'main body'! Support and uphold it from the deepest part of his soul!
Therefore, the risk of telling the truth is too great, and his relationship with the small group may be broken in an instant.
As for getting a small group of people to get the injection through deception... there is no need to worry about the subsequent effects.
Even if the people in the small group find out later that they have been cheated, it doesn't matter as long as the blood has been injected and the infection has been completed.
The ideology of the "sub-body" will make the people in the small group only grateful to him for deceiving them after they find out that they have been deceived.
Being able to become a 'sub-body' will be the greatest honor in the mind of every 'sub-body'.
The only thing he needs to overcome is his own psychological barrier.
The only remaining moral bottom line made Chen Yan slightly resistant to achieving his goal through "deception".
Of course, there is actually a third way.
That is, after confessing to the small group, do not infect the small group, but try to infect other people first, gradually expand the number of "offspring", so that the people in the small group can always maintain absolute independence, but the army of "offspring" that is gradually accumulated will become their greatest capital for living in this wasteland.
But while this approach may seem like a win-win situation, it will actually sow the seeds of a huge disaster.
As the number of 'offspring' grows larger and larger, and you are surrounded by 'offspring' that you can truly trust 100%, no matter what happens, there is no possibility of betrayal.
In that case, how could he continue to maintain his trust in the small group?
In other words, how could he continue to maintain his relationship with the small group under such circumstances?
Even if he could maintain a consistent attitude without any changes, could the other people in the small group do so without being suspicious?
Impossible...
People's hearts are unpredictable. Even if there is absolute trust between each other now, there is no way to guarantee that nothing will change in the future.
The accumulation of a long period of time can change everything. The stars move and the world changes, not to mention the changeable human heart.
Once the feeling of doubt arises, it can never be suppressed.
In the end, the result will inevitably be dismal.
Thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but shudder, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.
As expected, people's thoughts always change with changes in their positions.
As he became stronger and stronger, he had more and more, but he desired more and more.
He didn't want to lose what he had, so he had to keep moving forward and climbing! This was causing his humanity... to slowly disappear...
"What's wrong? Why do I feel like you're in a bad mood?"
Qin Yourong noticed that Chen Yan's expression was a little uncertain, and couldn't help but ask with concern.
Chen Yan forced a smile and said, "Nothing, I just think Kahn Company is a little too powerful. I see that level 6 and 7 potions, and even level 8 and 9 potions, have exchange prices in the store. This means that Kahn Company believes that even a level 9 Awakener can be manipulated at will and pose no threat to them.
"If we want to ensure our own safety, or even if a conflict breaks out with the Kahn Company, we can still defend ourselves, it's a truly daunting task. At least so far, it seems a long way off... Mainly because being within the Kahn Company means being constrained by it, which makes me feel very insecure."
Qin Yourong hugged Chen Yan's arm and said comfortingly, "Don't overthink it. The situation is much better now than before. If an enemy comes, we will fight him with our own army; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. As long as we work together, there is no difficulty that cannot be solved."
Before he finished speaking, Chen Yan suddenly felt a surge of alarm in his heart!
