Chapter 84
Click.
In the incubator, a 30-centimeter-tall white egg had its shell cracked.
“It worked.”
Following this suppressed joy, Chen Xing opened his eyes and saw a woman.
Her name was given by this woman, who said it was a name.
"What's your name?" Chen Xing asked.
The woman stared at her with eyes wide open, her eyes filled with surprise, as if she was surprised that she could draw inferences from one instance at such a young age. Then she smiled slightly and said, "Xiao Hehua, my name is Xiao Hehua."
"My name is Chen Xing, and your name is Xiao Hehua." Chen Xing repeated.
Xiao Hehua nodded: "Yes, that's right."
Then Chen Xing understood again, and nodding meant yes and yes.
When Chen Xing was just hatched, he looked no different from an ordinary baby except that he didn't cry or make a fuss and was extremely quiet.
But only Xiao Hehua knew that Chen Xing was a chatterbox and was curious about everything, but she didn't need to use her vocal cords to speak. She could connect with Xiao Hehua through her consciousness and let Xiao Hehua hear her voice directly in his mind.
"What are those people's names?"
“What are cells?”
"What are you synthesizing?"
When Xiao Hehua was not busy, she would answer her one by one. If she was busy or focused on research, Chen Xing's conscious dialogue would not be transmitted to her mind, or it could be said that it was unilaterally blocked by her.
Even though he was unilaterally blocked, Chen Xing continued to chatter away, and was very happy talking to himself, as if he was a natural optimist.
…
In the 621 Biopharmaceutical Research Institute, all kinds of strange things are cultivated almost every day, whether it is a new species of single-celled organism, some organs that can beat independently, or some artificial humans.
So Shen Xing's hatching was nothing surprising to everyone.
The only thing that makes them worthy of attention is that this is an artificial human cultivated by the dean.
By the time Chen Xing was five years old at the research institute, her intellectual development was already comparable to that of a fourteen or fifteen-year-old child.
What she does every day is to follow Xiao Hehua and learn what Xiao Hehua is doing.
Xiao Hehua's assistant would laugh and joke that she looked like a duckling following its mother duck.
Mom? Chen Xing caught the key word and asked Xiao Hehua, who was drawing her blood: "Are you mom?"
Xiao Hehua lowered his eyes, filled a syringe with blood, then shook his head and said seriously, "I'm not."
For some reason, after hearing this answer, Chen Xing had a different reaction for the first time.
She carefully analyzed her emotions, and then said to Xiao Hehua: "I feel a little sad."
Xiao Hehua burst out laughing, took out a candy from his pocket and stuffed it into her mouth, "I'll smoke less next time, so it won't hurt so much."
Chen Xing looked at her, wondering if he was sad because of the blood draw.
Why didn’t it happen when I drew blood before?
She couldn't figure it out, but Xiao Hehua didn't lie to her. Every time he drew blood from her, he didn't fill the entire syringe.
So Chen Xing became happy again.
Seven-year-old Chen Xing began to be curious about the world outside the institute, so she planned an "escape" operation and left the institute under everyone's noses.
In the vast Federation, she discovered more new and interesting things, some of which corresponded to those in the books, while others were completely different.
This feeling is strange and interesting.
In the evening, she returned to the institute. Everyone was busy, very busy, and everyone had a serious expression on their face. No one noticed that she had left.
She saw Xiao Hehua on the 17th floor.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Hehua didn't seem angry about her leaving the institute. Instead, his face showed a complex emotion that she couldn't quite fathom.
The next day, Xiao Hehua took her out of the institute and went to a green-roofed house in the Federation and gave her a key.
"This is where you'll be living from now on. You can go wherever you want during the day, but you need to come back here at night."
"Won't you live with me?" Chen Xing asked her.
"The research institute needs me." Xiao Hehua said and left.
From then on, Chen Xing went from seeing Xiao Hehua every day to seeing her once a week. Each meeting was very short. After drawing her blood, Xiao Hehua would leave.
Xiao Hehua is very busy.
Chen Xing had seen that Xiao Hehua would put her blood into various reagents for experiments. She knew clearly that she was born for Xiao Hehua's experiments.
Maybe one day, her body will be taken into the laboratory by Xiao Hehua for research.
With this idea in mind, Shen Xing lived alone in the house with a green roof for three years.
In the winter when Chen Xing was ten years old, a ragged child was picked up from the snow. The child had beautiful golden hair, but his face was covered with ugly and horrible scars. He was skinny and, like her, had no friends and no family.
Chen Xing used the medical knowledge she learned from Xiao Hehua to save the blond child. She was delighted and named him Claire, which means bright and beautiful in the federal language.
The moment she chose the name, she suddenly wondered what Chen Xing meant, but there was no meaning for this name in the Federal language.
It was not until a few days later that Xiao Hehua came to the house and saw Claire that she did not express any doubts about Claire's existence and continued to draw Chen Xing's blood as usual.
Because Chen Xing would tell her, and this time was no exception. While Xiao Hehua was drawing blood, Chen Xing chattered about everything she had seen and heard over the past week, and how she had saved Claire. Finally, she asked Xiao Hehua, "What does the falling star mean?"
"It's snow." Xiao Hehua put away the syringe and stuffed a candy into her mouth.
Chen Xing didn’t understand. She didn’t understand why the falling stars were snow, and she didn’t understand why her name meant snow.
But Xiao Hehua didn't have time to explain to her. He came and left in a hurry.
Shen Xing grew up in the house with a green roof. At the age of fifteen, she became differentiated.
After her differentiation was complete, Claire, who had lived with her for five years, also differentiated.
Xiao Hehua took the differentiation report and told Chen Xing that she had differentiated into Beta. He gave her a bottle of pills and said that in order to stabilize her hormones, she should take the pills once every three months to stabilize her hormones. Then he took Claire away, who had also differentiated into Beta.
Chen Xing stood in the empty room, knowing that Xiao Hehua was lying to her. She could feel that she had pheromones and she was not a Beta.
But it doesn't matter, she will continue to live in the Federation as a Beta as Xiao Hehua wishes.
Claire left and felt a little lonely, so in the days that followed, she first learned to make bionic people like Xiao Hehua, but those bionic people could not respond to her, so she took the initiative to make many new friends.
Bai Chuan, who sells toys on the streets, Tang Mary, who mines in remote areas, and Elena, who is obsessed with the case day and night...
She interacted with them using different identities. She was called Mixing, Vera, and occasionally Tasha...
She discovered that humans are truly an amazing species. As long as they are given a little hope, they can hold on to it and then transform.
The same goes for Claire.
When she was eighteen years old, she met Claire again. At that time, Claire became Xiao Hehua's assistant, and she almost didn't recognize him.
Claire is no longer the timid boy. In just three years, he has undergone tremendous changes. His skeleton has grown, and he has strong arms and a straight back. His beautiful long golden hair is tied behind his head, and he wears a half-covered mask on his face to hide the scars.
"You're doing very well." Chen Xing was very happy.
Claire looked at Chen Xing with a shy smile, and in a blink of an eye, she turned back into the shy and timid boy she used to be.
Xiao Hehua didn't give them much time to exchange pleasantries. He took out a syringe from the medicine box he brought with him and drew blood from Chen Xing's arm as usual.
After Chen Xing differentiated, the amount of blood Xiao Hehua drew increased exponentially.
It was almost 100 every time. Why almost? Because Xiao Hehua didn't fill the syringe up every time. She had promised Chen Xing.
Claire had seen Xiao Hehua draw blood from Chen Xing many times, and every time his expression was silent...
And heartache.
The latter emotion was felt by Chen Xing herself. "It doesn't matter," she said. "I was born for this."
Claire hugged her tremblingly, her voice choking with sobs, "I will try my best to help the dean develop an immune drug as soon as possible."
"I wish you all the best." Chen Xing waved at him.
When Chen Xing was eighteen years old, she had an accident. When she was rushing home from the West Fifth District, she was involved in a premeditated and vicious kidnapping case. The kidnappers took her and many weak hostages. The commander at the time was Elena.
She successfully contacted Elena with the help of an abandoned mobile phone in the skyscraper, gave her the precise location and a clear topographic map, and told her to kill the criminals first and she would ensure the safety of the other hostages.
However, during the execution process, some federal operatives seemed to have a dispute with Elena's instructions. Although they finally carried out what Elena said, the kidnappers broke down in just two minutes and wanted to take the hostages as a warning to others. For the safety of the hostages, Chen Xing forcibly handed himself over to the kidnappers.
Her arm was injured, and when the kidnapper's knife was against her neck, a federal rescue worker with a crew cut and gray eyes broke through the window and rescued her from the kidnapper.
After the action was over, the man disappeared.
She watched the rescued hostages throw themselves into their families' arms and cry in fear, and then be comforted. Perhaps sensing something, she saw a plane taking off in the distance and recognized it as Xiao Hehua's private plane.
However, she didn't see Xiao Hehua, only Claire.
Claire stayed and was ordered to teach Shen Xing martial arts, but Claire only taught for three days and there was nothing more to teach. Shen Xing had the best talent for learning.
When Shen Xing was twenty years old, Xiao Hehua handed her a bottle of medicine while drawing blood.
"What is this?" Chen Xing asked.
"Something that can stimulate your energy. Drink this when you encounter danger and you will be safe." Xiao Hehua said softly.
"Will he turn into something like Superman?" She had seen cartoons where there were flying Supermen who were very powerful.
"No, it's the kind that turns into a turtle." Xiao Hehua said.
"Ah..." Chen Xing was very dissatisfied. She didn't want to stay in the turtle shell.
"Listen, that shell will be very thick, and you may not be able to get out with your own energy."
"What should we do then?"
"Accumulate your energy in the shell, or tell me." As Chen Xing grew up, her consciousness became stronger, and she could contact Xiao Hehua from a long distance, but she could only contact Xiao Hehua.
"Okay." No matter what, Chen Xing was very happy because Xiao Hehua was protecting her.
As the days passed, Chen Xing lived in the Federation like an ordinary person. The house she lived in was filled with all kinds of bionic people. Without her noticing, the love in Claire's eyes grew day by day.
When she was twenty-three years old, a strange virus spread among the population. Infected people would develop white pupils, fangs, claws and other abnormal reactions within half an hour to 48 hours, causing varying degrees of unrest in the Federation, but those infected were soon arrested.
About a month later, those infected with the virus were officially called zombies.
The end of the world is coming.
Xiao Hehua's other assistant, North, came to find her and took her to a temporary base in the research institute. Xiao Hehua had contacted her before and said that for her safety, he would let her assistant take her to a safe place, and Claire would come to pick her up later.
However, North, who said that Chen Xing looked like a duckling when she was a child, imprisoned Chen Xing. He forbade Chen Xing from going out on the pretext that it was unsafe outside.
The research institute has countless ways to imprison people. Chen Xing didn't want to have a head-on conflict with him, so he pretended not to notice and didn't go out every day. He sat in the house and made bionic people.
At first, North stared at her vigilantly, and even took apart and checked her android when she wasn't paying attention.
Chen Xing didn't care at all and did it every day. He started by making some small puppets and some bionic people as tall as humans. He kept the good ones and asked North to throw away the bad ones.
North also had to be thrown away because the house was full of androids.
Chen Xing couldn't contact Xiao Hehua anymore. She tried to inquire about it to North, but North kept his mouth shut and didn't get anything out of her.
Later, North became delirious and often muttered to himself, but Chen Xing knew that he was talking to a parasite in his body. She could hear the content of their conversation. The parasite wanted North to kill Shen Xing, but North disagreed. North believed that Shen Xing had the antidote to the virus, and only with the antidote would he have supreme power in the end times.
Until one day, Chen Xing's susceptible period suddenly came. This was the first time Chen Xing had a susceptible period. The hormones in her body fluctuated extremely violently, and pheromones spread without warning. Her consciousness told her that she needed to rest.
North looked at her in surprise, "Aren't you a Beta..." His face twisted as he spoke, and his body became uncontrollably weak under the influence of Chen Xing's pheromones.
Soon, he could no longer care about Chen Xing. He said in horror: "Damn it! How come your energy has become stronger!"
He collapsed to the ground with a ferocious look on his face, as if he was fighting with the parasite for control of his body.
But he failed. An evil, inhuman expression appeared on North's face. The monster took a deep breath and said, "What a fascinating smell!"
Chen Xing, who was in a susceptible period, looked at the monster and fear surged in her heart for the first time. She drank the potion Xiao Hehua gave her in front of the monster.
The turtle shell did not appear as Xiao Hehua had described, but she did feel herself becoming lighter.
Seeing this, the monster stretched out its claws and pounced on her ferociously to stop her, but a sword pierced its chest from behind.
At the last moment, Chen Xing saw Claire's frightened face.
White energy surrounded Shenxing from bottom to top, and a giant cocoon appeared.
For a long time afterwards, Chen Xing felt like he was in a coma.
But her emotions sometimes range from angry to painful, and sometimes a little joyful... and amusing.
She woke up briefly several times and tried to contact Xiao Hehua, but failed. She could only silently accumulate energy.
day to day.
Until one day, she felt that there were no more annoying beeping sounds around her, and she seemed to be safe. Suddenly, she felt a little burning outside the thick protective layer, and then suddenly a huge amount of energy poured into her body through the burning gap, and she seemed to be able to break through this shell.
She decided to give it a try.
She was gathering the energy to break out of her shell, and she finally managed to open a small gap along the burning spot. The next moment, a powerful and overbearing scorching energy attacked the protective layer covering her. That energy was directed at her!
Her eyes suddenly sank, anger welling up in her. Bold human.
The giant cocoon broke open, and she looked up to see a man with gray eyes and a crew cut, his body surrounded by black flames.
Her eyes were burned by his black flames, and her rage grew even stronger. "You despicable attacker, you must pay for your actions!"
Chen Xing mercilessly struck out with a palm strike.
The man was knocked back several hundred meters and hit the high wall and fell to the ground.
"Team Building!!!"
Chen Xing heard someone calling him like this, was it his name?
The blinding light vanished, the giant cocoon melted away, and the people around saw a young woman standing there with her back to the light, her appearance unclear. The sun rose behind the woman, and the scent of ice and snow silently enveloped the surroundings.
She closed her eyes and stood quietly, but someone unconsciously knelt on the ground, their chest beating...
Enigma has truly arrived...
Although she repelled the attacker, Chen Xing didn't feel good standing in the open space. The powerful black flame energy still caused her serious damage. She felt unhappy. What a despicable attacker!
Claire looked at the woman in the open space, tears in his eyes, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "Star, star..."
It was a familiar voice. Chen Xing turned his head to "look" at the source of the voice: "Claire, long time no see."
