388 Heart
◎She touched the giant's heart◎
Zhu Yao pushed open the door. Outside was a corridor emitting a metallic luster. There was no one there. She opened one door and found another one outside.
Zhu Yao was already used to the complicated access control system in these laboratories. She had Chu Qing's secondary brain in her hand, and at this moment, she input commands one by one, opened doors one by one, while recalling the unfinished story.
Back then, Prometheus easily destroyed the Utopia Exploration, and only Zhu Yao reached the real underground. She had no idea which route Liu Yu took on her return journey, and they had completely lost contact.
Zhu Yao brought back the core pollutants of the Alpha series from Utopia, and soon reunited with the support team sent by Yongsheng Pharmaceutical.
Yongsheng Pharmaceutical will not give up this opportunity. After Zhu Yao was taken away by Liu Yu, the businessman smelled a huge business opportunity. According to the clues revealed by Liu Yu, he groped his way to the vicinity of Utopia, hoping to dig up the "rich mine" and return it to the laboratory for research.
When they saw Zhu Yao was still alive, they were extremely shocked. There was not even a person with special abilities around Zhu Yao, and no one knew how she survived.
Zhu Yao was very lucky, especially when everyone else died. Her luck seemed particularly good. Just as Huo Huaiying predicted, Zhu Yao waited for her rescue team at a specific location.
Zhu Yao has been wondering whether Huo Huaiying or Liu Yu deliberately leaked the news to Yongsheng Pharmaceutical. This was their alternative way of protecting themselves.
Zhu Yao received strong support from Yongsheng Pharmaceuticals, a massive pharmaceutical company with complex internal forces. Because she was valuable enough, a senior executive took her under his protection and announced the launch of the Alpha Series in a high-profile manner.
Zhu Yao became the sole winner of that exploration plan. She got what she had always dreamed of: power and prestige, countless experimental funding, and the best scientific research team.
Some people spent thousands of gold just to have a meal with Zhu Yao and listen to her talk about the Alpha experiment in person.
But Zhu Yao lives a secluded life and rarely leaves the laboratory, devoting all his energy to the Alpha experiment.
The craze for the Alpha series of experiments quickly faded, drowned out by countless news reports, and Zhu Yao gradually lost his popularity in society.
Accordingly, her experiment finally came to fruition, with a design appearance, an overall structure, and the initial outline of the system.
"It still doesn't work, Professor Zhu." The assistant shook her head at her with a disappointed look on her face.
Beep beep, the machine sounded an alarm, loudly shouting her failure.
Zhu Yao said nothing as she stared at her experimental subject through the glass. She constructed a warm room, on which lay a little girl, a five-year-old girl, on a pure white bed.
There are other samples in their warehouse, designed with the appearance of different ages, and the experimental subjects in the warehouse are lined up like corpses.
She was so young, with baby fat on her face, her long, thick black eyelashes tightly closed, and countless wires connected to the back of her head, but she showed no signs of life and her chest had stopped rising and falling long ago.
This time, the subject only breathed for three seconds before dying.
Zhu Yao had a lot of money to spend and could try every experimental plan, but he always ran into obstacles.
Sure enough, the problem Zhu Yao was worried about occurred. No matter what memory was instilled into the experimental subject, it could never be self-consistent.
Zhu Yao's eyes were filled with dense formulas. Bai Cheng's shadow surfaced in her mind, and she thought of their conversation that year. Was there something wrong with Bai Cheng's memory storage method? Didn't she grasp the essence?
As the researcher busily checked to see what was wrong, his assistant whispered, "Let's do it another time. Everyone's not in the mood."
Zhu Yao nodded: "Have a good rest."
The researcher seemed to have received a signal of liberation and immediately packed up and left work, not wanting to stay even a second longer. It is true that the Alpha series is very valuable, but people cannot live on ideals. The first topic the researcher talked about after work was what to eat in the cafeteria today.
Soon, their conversation faded away, and Zhu Yao was the only one left in the lab.
She was wearing a white coat, leaning against a glass wall covered with formulas, deep in thought. She was very tired. This tiredness was not temporary, but had lasted for many years, as if there was no end at all.
The pen was flying on Zhu Yao's fingertips, like some unique dance. Suddenly, without any warning, she stopped spinning the pen, opened the door and went in.
For the first time, Zhu Yao wore a white coat and walked to the other side of the glass wall. The researchers decorated this place to look very much like a normal person's home. This was also one of their experiments.
Some researchers believe that the experimental subjects are actually conscious even when they are asleep, can keenly perceive the surrounding environment, and their brains are still learning and functioning, constantly replenishing their spiritual world.
After all, they were not creating a demon, but a savior, and they wanted her to be as close to humans as possible.
Zhu Yao had never taken care of these furnishings. All the minor details were taken care of by his subordinates, which did not quite suit Zhu Yao's aesthetic taste. The pink plush toy and a pair of pink slippers on the bedside made it look like a girl's house in a fairy tale.
It was so wonderful when Zhu Yao walked into a little girl's bedroom for the first time. After all, she didn't have any children, and she had never visited a home with children.
So when she walked in, she really had the illusion that this was her own home.
Zhu Yao looked at the little person on the bed. She looked so much like herself. Zhu Yao regretted using her own genes. It made it impossible for her to be completely objective and rational every time she saw her research subject. She would always be in a trance for a moment, as if this little life was her own child.
Zhu Yao moved a chair over and sat beside the bed, staring at the "dead" experimental subject in a daze. The person lying on the bed was not a real person. A real human would not have so many wires on his head. As long as the wires were unplugged, the experimental subject would be truly scrapped.
Zhu Yao's gaze fell on the experimental subject's eyes again, as if she was looking through her at Huo Huaiying.
What emerged in Zhu Yao's mind was Huo Huaiying's blinded corpse. He stretched out his hand to cover the eye sockets of the experimental subject, and could feel the bulging eyeballs under his palm.
Huo Huaiying's eyes are in her body.
Zhu Yao left the laboratory without saying a word, silently closed the door, turned off the laboratory lights, and left the experimental subject in the dark.
Zhu Yao lost interest in research for several days and took sick leave, but she had entered a top-secret research base and could not leave to relax. Prometheus was monitoring her outside, and leaving the base easily would be courting death.
So Zhu Yao walked around the cage like a wild animal trapped in a zoo, with nowhere to vent the frustration in his heart.
When Zhu Yao was depressed, she had to read gossip tabloids to pass the time. In such an era, once people are bored, they are easily swept up in the flow of information, watching short videos and fragmented news all the time.
Zhu Yao was killing time while peeking at the outside world through this window.
At this time, she read a piece of news that the Lu family welcomed their first daughter. In the eyes of the lower class, this news was insignificant. It was just that a rich person had another child. What did it have to do with them?
But Zhu Yao knew how valuable this news was in the eyes of the people of God's Kingdom. Liu Yu successfully gave birth to a daughter, who would inherit her abilities in the future.
Zhu Yao hasn't heard from Liu Yu for a long time. It's impossible for them to communicate, as that would be bad for anyone's safety.
But Zhu Yao would occasionally hear gossip that people had arranged many vulgar scripts for this beautiful woman, one bloody drama after another, such as in order to compete for the status of the Lu family, Liu Yu had to give birth to many children and give birth until death.
It was hard for Zhu Yao not to sneer when she read the news. The public's speculation was actually correct in a sense, and Liu Yu would become weaker and weaker in the process until death.
So when Lu Yao was born, Zhu Yao just closed the news terminal and didn't even want to take a look at it.
This time Zhu Yao did not miss it, but searched all the related news. An authoritative media obtained an exclusive photo, in which Liu Yu was lying on the hospital bed, holding a daughter and smiling at the camera.
Of course, the head of the Lu family will not appear in the camera, so there are only mother and daughter in the photo. Liu Yu is still beautiful, and even her expression is just right, strong and weak, which is in line with the public's imagination of a mother.
Zhu Yao stared at the photo for a long time, as if she didn't quite recognize Liu Yu. She flipped through the photos again and finally saw the name of Liu Yu's daughter. Liu Yu told the media that her daughter's name was Lu Yuan.
Zhu Yao's mind was spinning rapidly, and a picture emerged uncontrollably, which he couldn't press.
Under the ground of Utopia, countless polluted spores surround it, and only the sound of waves can be heard.
In such a beautiful and harmless place, Liu Yu took off her protective helmet, showing a genuine smile, and she carved a bird stroke by stroke.
This is a gift from me to my daughter.
Liu Yu did not give up, and she actually gave birth to a bird.
Zhu Yao felt her heart surge for a moment. She was the only one who received such a secret and obscure message. Liu Yu did not bow her head. Even after giving birth to one child after another, she was still the same Liu Yu.
Liu Yu was facing the camera and smiling at Zhu Yao. Perhaps due to over-interpretation, Zhu Yao suddenly felt that the smile had a deeper meaning and felt a little proud.
It seems that it has maintained its posture despite countless blows and has not been knocked down.
Huo Huaiying's prophecy is working. Zhu Yao once doubted whether it was true, but now it is coming true step by step. It seems that a road has been unfolding before her eyes, and Zhu Yao only needs to follow the plan.
The pilgrim will take action, Lu Yuan will be born, and Zhu Yao's experiment will definitely succeed.
Zhu Yao deliberately ignored the fact that other people had sacrificed, and couldn't move forward with this thought in mind.
Zhu Yao was very lucky. Most people work hard without knowing the future, let alone when they will succeed, but Zhu Yao received the promise of the future. She kept this news forever and appeared in the laboratory late at night on the third day.
The experiment wasn't progressing, her researchers were demoralized, and no one was working overtime.
There was a scrapping application form on the table, and the assistant was asking Zhu Yao if she wanted to start over. Zhu Yao only needed to sign.
Zhu Yao leaned against the glass wall and closed her eyes, her mind was not at peace and her eyelids kept twitching.
She held an oxygen tank in her hand. Even though she was so old now, she still kept her old habit and liked to breathe oxygen to relieve stress when she was nervous.
Suddenly, she opened her eyes, put down the oxygen tank, walked to the glass door and swiped her access card. Her movements were smooth and seamless, as if she had been holding it in for a long time.
She pulled the chair over with familiarity. With her previous experience in mind, she was more like a mother walking into her child's room after get off work late at night, gently covering the child with a blanket and putting away the fairy tale book beside the bed.
The experimental subject was motionless, no change from last time, just a small ball.
This experimental subject has Zhu Yao's genes, Huo Huaiying's eyes, and Bai Cheng's memory pattern, but no soul.
Zhu Yao touched the experimental subject's hair and felt the temperature of the experimental subject. It was not real. The temperature was set to be similar to that of the human body. Even if the heart stopped beating, the body would not become cold.
In the dark laboratory, there was only a beam of light. Zhu Yao sat by the bed for a long time, with her palm covering the chest of the experimental subject, feeling the lifeless heart. In an instant, she seemed not to be in the laboratory. There were no glass walls around her, and no experimental instruments.
Zhu Yao was still deep underground in Utopia, standing in front of the giant heart, staring at it for a long time at the sound of the huge waves.
She has always deliberately avoided developing feelings, but there is no such good thing in the world where you can reap anything without investing anything.
If Zhu Yao wants to be rewarded, she must first give; if she wants to be loved, she must first love.
She created her own experiment, and whether she wanted to or not, she was already a mother.
"Zhu Ning." Zhu Yao suddenly spoke. This was her first time talking to her experimental subject. "Your name is Zhu Ning."
Zhu Yao wanted to laugh after she finished speaking, as if Nuwa had blew breath into the clay figurine, giving life to a dead object.
No one recorded this moment, but Zhu Yao actually gave a name to an experimental subject.
Many years later, Zhu Ning walked to the depths of Utopia. In front of him was a huge sea anemone, fiery red and covered with countless tentacles, and the sound of waves roared in his ears.
The dazzling red light continued to flash. There must be something wrong with Zhu Ning's vision. His heart was sometimes concave and sometimes convex, as if he was looking at some distorted picture.
She was crying, and the saline solution was flowing uncontrollably, like a lost child who had finally found his mother.
Zhu Ning walked along the spine. After paying so much and sacrificing his teammates, he was left alone and finally saw the heart of the giant.
The heart is already so weak that most of the tentacles are broken and no longer flashing red light. It is gray and withered. Only less than one tenth of the tentacles are still wriggling. It is filled with contaminated spores, but only a small part of them can participate in the circulation, and most of them cannot find an entrance from the outside.
Which part did Zhu Yao take away back then? Zhu Ning couldn't tell what Zhu Yao had done here. Was it because of the Alpha series of experiments that caused the giant's heart failure, or was it because Zhu Yao found that he could no longer stop the heart's deterioration when he got here?
But she finally stood where Zhu Yao was back then, their figures overlapped, and they looked up at the huge heart in front of them together.
Zhu Ning knew that a normal heart should beat strongly, but the one in front of him could only move weakly.
Zhu Ning subconsciously stretched out her hand. There was blood and Pei Shu's ashes on her hand. The flames on the back of her hand burned through her skin, revealing the pale bones.
Zhu Ning's mind went blank, and she was almost driven by instinct, as if Zhu Yao had once placed his hand on her chest.
I hope you have a strong heart.
She touched the giant's heart.
