"He asked us to play a game, saying that whoever wins will be rewarded with a glass of wine. We all thought it was just ordinary wine, so we drank it, but the result... the result..." Eiffel clenched his fists, "We didn't expect Papara Wells to be such a beast. He actually used us as an experiment!"
"He brought so many bodyguards because he was afraid of any accidents. He thought a hundred bodyguards could control a few of us, but he didn't expect that real genetic monsters are not afraid of bullets. The other four except me..." Eiffel paused, and finally said the four words "genetic monster" with difficulty.
"Among the five of us, I was the only one who was able to remain sane. The other four turned into real monsters. They killed people, ate human flesh, and drank human blood. Many people died at their hands."
Eiffel looked down at his palm. "Not only did I not lose consciousness, I also accidentally discovered that as long as my palm touches someone, I can become that person's appearance."
As she spoke, the features on her face began to rearrange themselves, and Tu Ran suddenly saw his own appearance on her face.
Tu Ran felt a chill in her heart, "Change back."
Eiffel did as he was told, and in less than three seconds, his features returned to their original appearance.
She looked up at Tu Ran and said earnestly, "I am not a genetic monster. I just have the ability to change my appearance at will. I am a human being, a real genetically modified person. I have not killed anyone, and none of the bodies here were killed by me. Please let me go."
Tu Ran looked at her and sighed in his heart.
The Federation’s first true genetically modified human, a genetically modified human who has no ability to protect himself.
Her appearance will attract all forces.
No matter who she falls into the hands of in the end, she will inevitably go into the laboratory, onto the operating table, and be studied thoroughly.
"You don't have to beg me. I won't kill you. Even if you are a genetic monster that has lost your mind, I won't kill you as long as I can control you." Tu Ran said in a faint voice.
"You are going to the research institute. The value of your research far outweighs the damage you have caused. Even if you killed everyone on this ship, even if you killed Papara, it doesn't matter. No one will kill you."
"Really?" Eiffel asked anxiously, "You pioneers won't kill me just because I'm a genetic monster? I heard that pioneers specialize in killing aliens and genetic monsters, and they won't let them go no matter if they're good or bad."
"Your information is outdated. The pioneer team now only captures people, not kills. Besides, you said it yourself that you are a genetically modified human, not a genetically modified monster." Tu Ran took a step back and retracted the pistol.
"Someone from the research institute will come to pick you up soon. Please wait here."
The people from the research institute arrived faster than Tu Ran had imagined.
The person who came this time was Xie Xu.
Probably from the moment Eiffel knelt down, Ling recognized that she was a successfully genetically modified human and notified Xie Xu, which is why Xie Xu was able to arrive so quickly.
Not long after Xie Xu and Eiffel boarded the helicopter, another group of people came. They were wearing the same uniform. Tu Ran had never seen them before and was not sure which department they belonged to.
The other party also asked Tu Ran about Eiffel's whereabouts, and Tu Ran said frankly that he was taken away by people from the research institute.
The group of people were visibly angry. They glared at her and walked away.
Tu Ran, who was given an innocent cold shoulder, said: "…" Who did she offend? !
In addition to this group of people, two more groups arrived one after another.
One group of them were wearing the uniforms of the research institute. They were people from the institute. When they heard that Xie Xu had taken the people away, the expressions on their faces froze. They looked at each other and left quickly.
It can be seen that there are also factions within the institute. Another group of people had the words "Genetic Modification" written on their clothes. They should be a newly established department of the federal government. They knew they were late and were not in a good mood.
Eiffel's popularity was far greater than Tu Ran had imagined.
The birth of the first genetically modified human means that mankind has completely broken away from God, and the direction of human evolution will be controlled by humans themselves.
Humans are no longer at a disadvantage when facing alien species within the threshold.
The few high-ranking officials who knew about the inner elixir no longer focused all their attention on the alien species, as they now had another way to gain supernatural powers.
Compared to wasting a lot of material and financial resources to capture an alien species, which may not even have an inner elixir, using magic medicine to obtain superpowers is more reliable.
In the following months, the Federation's scientific research investment in genetically modified humans and miracle drugs reached an unprecedented amount, and tens of billions of citizens across the Federation were paying close attention to the progress of miracle drug research.
These are all things that happened later. Now, Tu Ran, who has completed his mission, is sitting on the return helicopter.
The pioneer team's mission has been completed and all the genetic monsters have been captured.
Next, the search and rescue work for survivors on the luxury cruise ship will be completed by the executive department.
Tu Ran leaned against the helicopter window and admired the beautiful scenery below.
The helicopter was just over the Mildred Islands.
Looking down from above, the endless green stretches spread across a light blue sea, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding black ocean.
No wonder the Mildred Islands are called "the last pearl in federal waters."
Tu Ran was fascinated by the view. It would be a waste not to see such scenery. There would be no chance to enjoy it for free in the future.
Ding Naiqing, who was on the same helicopter with her, sat opposite her. He wanted to say something several times but stopped himself. Finally, he couldn't hold it back any longer and said, "Sister Ran, I'm sorry!"
"?" Tu Ran turned and looked at him, eyes full of confusion, "What?"
"I want to say sorry to you on behalf of Zhao Yan."
"Ah?" Tu Ran was even more confused.
Wasn't Zhao Yan already dead? She was the one who killed him. All the revenges and grievances had been taken, so what was the point of saying sorry to her now? Could it be that Zhao Yan had done something bad that she didn't know about? "Zhao Yan killed General Xie Hong and tried to frame you, causing you to be almost taken away by the people from the Supervision Department. Now he is dead, and I am his friend, so I think I should say sorry to you." Ding Naiqing lowered his head, his attitude was particularly sincere.
Tu Ran heard the reason: "..." So did he know that she was the one who killed Zhao Yan? She had already taken his life, so why did he still care about the frame-up before his death? Tu Ran said carefully, "Do you know who killed Zhao Yan?"
"I know, Sister Ran." Ding Naiqing raised her head and looked at Tu Ran with blinking eyes.
"Zhao Yan is your friend. If I kill your friend, shouldn't you hate me and never have anything to do with me again?"
This is indeed what she has been thinking these days.
She thinks this is human nature.
