Chapter 117 Let's Gamble



Squeak, squeak, squeak——

Bai Ye was driving the car while holding the steering wheel when he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the air.

He looked out of the car window and suddenly several black spots appeared in the blue sky. The propeller cut through the air, stirring up strong winds.

——It’s a helicopter!

Bai Ye: "The Saint Genie Snow Mountain is clearly a no-fly zone..."

"Su Yi" laughed and said, "That also depends on who is banned from flying."

Bang bang bang bang!

The helicopter unloaded machine guns and fired bullets. They were probably afraid of hitting "Su Yi" so they only fired at the road surface to warn the kidnappers who were driving the car.

Bai Ye let out a "tsk" sound and quickly went around a big bend, using the towering snow-capped mountains to block the car's body.

To track down an ordinary kidnapper, they even sent out a helicopter. Bai Ye smiled bitterly in his heart. Fortunately, he did not call the police at that time. The political power of this group of people was much greater than he imagined.

The helicopter tracking in the air quickly turned its nose around, and at the same time, Bai Ye heard a shrill siren coming from the road behind him.

Two long lines of police cars sped up the snowy mountain road, sirens blaring.

There is a helicopter above, police chasing behind, and snow-capped mountains and cliffs on both sides.

“Give up!”

The fake "Su Yi" took the opportunity to persuade him, "You know it yourself, you can't escape at all.

"If you want to see Su Yi, wear this and go to the virtual world now, but you will have to take the risk of rapidly aging. If you don't want to take the risk, then stop the car!"

"Su Yi" opened an account on the air screen:

"This is my e-bank. What do you want? We can satisfy all of your needs! Money is not a problem. A few hundred million is no problem. We can settle in RMB or USD!"

"What else do you want? As long as it is technologically possible, we can help you achieve it. If you continue driving like this, you will only be shot by the police. If you jump off the cliff to commit suicide, you will not only kill yourself but also Su Yi's consciousness. Stop the car!"

Bai Ye glanced at him and suddenly said:

"clone."

"Su Yi": "What?"

"The heart that Su Yi transplanted was an organ you cloned. Why didn't you just clone his brain?"

As Bai Ye spoke, he drove along the guide to the Sangeni Snow Mountain that he had seen, preparing to take this impostor to a "good place".

In order to cover up this purpose, he brought up the topic of "cloning", got "Su Yi" to talk as much as possible, distracted this guy's attention, and tried to grasp more information from the conversation.

After Bai Ye finished speaking, he slightly adjusted his facial expression. He no longer looked as resolute as if he was going to drive himself to commit suicide for love, but instead looked a little willing to negotiate.

"Su Yi" also immediately noticed the softening of Bai Ye's attitude and felt the hope of stopping the car.

After all, the conditions they offered were very generous. People are selfish after all. If they don't give up Su Yi, they will be hunted down in the real world right now, and even if they enter the virtual world, they will age rapidly. But as long as they give up Su Yi, all problems will be solved, and they can also get billions of money, resources from the upper class, and all high-tech achievements that ordinary people cannot enjoy...

"Do you think if you clone Einstein and he walks out of the incubator, he can come up with the theory of relativity?"

The fake "Su Yi" patiently answered Bai Ye's questions, trying to calm the crazy driver and show their sincerity and strength:

"In addition to innate genes, brain development also requires acquired training. We have trained Su Yi for thirteen years, and we strictly control every aspect of his food, clothing, housing and transportation. We were even worried that he would be too lonely on his way to growing up and would not be able to make friends at school. In the beginning, we specially adopted those useless heart disease children to keep him company.

"Including the fact that you are dating him, it was all approved by our research institute. It is confirmed that homosexuality will not affect the development of the superconducting brain, and even the appropriate hormone secretion in love helps to increase the activity of the brain. Otherwise, you and Su Yi would never have any development. We will let your father's business have some small accidents and let him take you away from that city."

Bai Ye was speechless for a moment, his fingers secretly clenched the steering wheel.

He felt that everything was extremely absurd.

The bullets from the helicopter above his head and the police car behind him were reminding him that this was real every minute and every second.

He hated this impostor and this group of arrogant lunatics. They described Su Yi as a research result. Their self-righteous look was disgusting. They were condescending and played with the fate of all ordinary people and looked down on them.

Bai Ye has been born into a well-off family and is nicknamed the "rich second generation" by his classmates. To be honest, he has rarely experienced being looked down upon since he was a child. His parents each have outstanding careers and are very respected in society.

Wang Suren, an entrepreneur like his father, raised Su Yi and was then killed in a car accident by this group of people. In the eyes of those who truly hold power, all of them are worse than ants.

"Right, right?! If you want to clone, we can provide Su Yi's clone!"

Su Yi suddenly realized? Madman Bai Ye suddenly mentioned the meaning of cloning:

"I understand. Can you stop the car? We'll go back to the research institute and help you clone a Su Yi. Then we'll transfer Su Yi's consciousness into this cloned body. This way, you two can meet in reality. Isn't that a happy ending for everyone?"

Bai Ye: "So are you going to occupy his current body forever?"

"How is it possible? This body is so weak..."

"Su Yi" said disdainfully: "Even if the heart is transplanted, Su Yi's physique is still very weak. I am just living here temporarily, and I will move to a stronger body after a while.

"When the consciousness body is exported from the virtual world to the superconducting brain, the loss rate is 0%. When it is transferred from the superconducting brain to another person's brain, the total loss rate can be controlled at around 95%. I can accept this level. But if the consciousness body is directly imported from the virtual world to another person, the loss rate is at least 60%, and what is finally exported is not [me] at all.

"Do you understand how important Su Yi is to us now? He is our hub. If you insist on doing it your own way, you will be against all of us, which will not do you any good. Brother Bai Ye, please think about it carefully. Even if not for yourself, think about your parents, okay?"

...Here you are, playing the parents card. Bai Ye said nothing, as if he was shaken, and in his heart he just wanted to sneer.

Before he set out on the Snow Mountain Highway, he had already prepared for the worst and seen his parents for the last time.

Both of his parents made their own choices at critical moments in their lives, and later lived the lives they wanted. Their family relationship was not one in which one was held hostage to the other.

Another big turn, Bai Ye turned the steering wheel, and after the car turned, the scenery outside the window changed. It was no longer a cliff.

Outside the glass, a gray fir forest passed by.

Bai Ye glanced briefly and finally saw the forest. According to the travel guide to San Genie he had read before, he should be very close to his destination.

"Hey! You...you...where are you going?!"

"Su Yi" seemed a little flustered. They had said so much before, and the negotiations were almost successful. Why did they suddenly drive into some strange place?

Bai Ye remained silent. He was not that stupid. It would be as easy for this group of people to kill Wang Suren as to crush an ant. He and Su Yi already knew so much. How could they let them go?

Providing them with clones and giving them hundreds of millions is all nonsense. As long as he gives up the resistance and stops the car, "Su Yi" and his pursuers will definitely kill him.

Moreover, if clones are such a good thing, why don't these people keep them for themselves? Why do they need to occupy other people's bodies?

The counterfeit himself admitted that cloning could not replicate Su Yi's superconducting brain, which means that the clone is still different from the original human body. Cloning can only copy gene sequences, and the impact of a person's growth environment and mental emotions on the body over ten or twenty years cannot be replicated.

The cloned cells are not young either, they still have the lifespan of the original cells. Bai Ye remembered that the famous cloned sheep Dolly died after only a few years, and her lifespan was only half that of a normal sheep.

So these people want to use Su Yi's superconducting brain to invade younger and healthier bodies, truly achieve eternal youth and immortality, and hold supreme power.

Bai Ye's mind flashed back to when he was thirteen years old and after school, he walked into the classroom holding a basketball and saw the young boy Su Yi raising his hand, secretly calculating the calculus formula on the blackboard.

Su Yi's brain will be used to solve those advanced puzzles in the history of human mathematics, not to serve as a hub for these damn idiots!

Bang, bang—clang!

Suddenly, several bullets from behind hit the bumper of the speeding vehicle, instantly splashing out star-like sparks and making pits and grooves.

The sirens blared, and Bai Ye looked in the rearview mirror and saw the window of the police car that was chasing the closest was opened, with two pistols extended out.

These people were concerned about "Su Yi" and didn't dare to hit the car body directly, but if the tires were hit and the car was forced to stop, it would be over.

Bai Ye stepped on the accelerator and turned the steering wheel violently left and right. The car drifted in an S shape on the road. "Su Yi" screamed in fright.

Perhaps because of the screams, the police car behind put away their pistols and stopped shooting temporarily.

Bai Ye increased the speed to the maximum and sped away. After a distance, at the next big bend, he suddenly turned the car around and the whole car rushed out of the roadside!

The wide front of the off-road vehicle smashed through the guardrail of the highway and crashed directly into the fir forest on the side of the road. The four tires forged a path through the wet soil, rotten leaves, low shrubs, and clusters of fir trees!

There is a snow-capped mountain lake in the fir forest, with a small dirt road leading to it. Bai Ye remembered that the guide said that this was a niche tourist spot, secluded and sparsely populated, with beautiful scenery, and it was a good place for camping.

He stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, the engine roared like a tiger, the car body bumped up and down violently in the forest, and the branches in front shot towards the car window like thousands of arrows.

The off-road vehicle was running wildly in the forest like an angry wild boar. In the white night, there were no other colors except green branches and brown tree trunks. The sound of grass breaking kept coming to my ears. The four wheels rolled over the dead trees, large and small stones, puddles and mud slopes, all the way to the bottom -

Suddenly, the tire felt lighter and Bai Ye felt that he had rolled onto a cobblestone road.

The front of the car suddenly crashed through the vines in front, and the view suddenly widened. A blue lake came into view, reflecting the snow-capped mountains, blue sky and fir forests in the rippling waves.

The scenery was indeed beautiful. It was the place where he had originally wanted to bring Su Yi to camp.

But now Bai Ye was not in the mood to appreciate it. He saw the lake, but the car did not slow down, with a momentum to drive into the lake.

"Su Yi" in the co-pilot seat was shocked: "You...you are crazy again! We were talking just fine..."

Swish——

The off-road vehicle drove across the rocky beach and directly into the water. The waves of the lake overflowed the tires of the front car and swallowed up the body of the car.

"Su Yi" was frightened and fell silent.

Bai Ye unbuckled his seat belt, set the [autopilot mode], and [opened the sunroof].

The roof of the car slowly opened, revealing a piece of sky, and moist and cold air poured in.

When Bai Ye bought this car, he attached great importance to the skylight design so that he could take Su Yi to the mountains to watch the stars.

At this moment, he stretched out his hand to grab the edge of the roof, and jumped up from the driver's seat directly onto the roof.

The water had already covered the tires of the car. Bai Ye stood on the roof of the car, looking down at the counterfeit inside.

He always speaks in a condescending manner, but now his hands and feet are tied up and he is locked in a can-like car, with surging water outside that can drown people.

Bai Ye laughed, then he stretched out his long arm, grabbed "Su Yi" like a chicken, held it in his hand, and leaped onto the cobblestone beach by the lake.

He carried "Su Yi" and walked carefully on the pebbles, not stepping into the mud and leaving footprints, leaving only the ruts of speeding tires on the stone beach and the off-road vehicle that kept sinking towards the center of the lake.

"There's a big time gap between virtual and reality, right?"

Bai Ye quickly moved to the other side of the lake while reaching out to grab "Su Yi"'s neck threateningly.

"Su Yi" nodded his head like pounding garlic.

"One minute is one year?" Bai Ye pinched her slender neck and smiled:

"No? Are you lying to me?"

“Su Yi”: “…No?…No? No! Ahem!”

Bai Ye let go of his hand, looked up and saw where he was going.

According to that niche travel guide, there are many caves on this side of the lake. You don’t even need to bring a tent for camping. It is also quite interesting to rest in the caves.

"Turn on those VR glasses?"

Bai Ye grabbed "Su Yi" and randomly ran into a cave, hiding in the deepest corner.

With his life in hands, Su Yi dared not disobey.

Swish, a screen of air glowing blue light "unfolds" before my eyes, and the flowing particles condense into a pair of VR glasses.

Bai Ye observed silently, and suddenly reached out and clicked on the x1 in the upper right corner of the air screen, setting it to x2.

In an instant, the particles combined into another pair of VR glasses, suspended in the air.

"Su Yi":?!

Seeing the other party's stunned expression, Bai Ye smiled triumphantly: "I will go in to find Su Yi, but you have to get out of here too!"

The fir forest, the car sinking into the lake, hiding in the cave, these measures can only delay the time of being caught to a certain extent, he can't escape.

Bai Ye knew this very well, but the time difference was his winning card.

"In the next 10-30 minutes, your pursuers will probably find this cave. However, the virtual world doesn't work like this."

Bai Ye reached out and pinched the VR glasses condensed in the air, pressed them hard on "Su Yi's" eyes, and forced him to wear them:

"Let's take a gamble. Ten, twenty, or even thirty years later, do you think it will be you who wakes up from the virtual world, or the real Su Yi?"
