"Say what you will." Lin Ling shrugged, put her hands behind her back, took a step back, and made way for the control panel. "It's your turn."
Zhou Siyu took a deep breath, steadying her aching abdomen, and walked to the control panel, her slender fingers flying across the screen.
"Searching—"
The loading circle on the screen went round and round, and the hand on the table slowly tightened, the nails digging into the table, the knuckles turning white as the fingers trembled slightly.
Large beads of sweat slid down his cheeks. Zhou Siyu bit his lower lip tightly, closed his eyes in pain, and gasped for breath.
"What’s wrong with you?"
Lin Ling stepped forward to support Zhou Siyu, waved his hand, and a soft sofa appeared in the corner. Lin Ling helped Zhou Siyu up and, with great effort, helped him onto the sofa.
Zhou Siyu's face was as white as a sheet of paper, with a deep mark on her lower lip and traces of blood seeping from the wound.
The miniature medical robot quickly completed the examination. In the color real-time image, a dark pink mass was slowly growing, and the silhouette of a small person could be vaguely seen.
"It grows faster than I expected."
Lin Ling rested her chin on her hand, her brows furrowed.
"Extractant - Blood extract -"
Zhou Siyu squeezed out a few words through gritted teeth, the excruciating pain in his abdomen akin to the pain in his heart; he wished he could immediately rip the painful spot out.
A full tube of golden liquid was injected into his body, and the pain was relieved for a moment. Zhou Siyu, who was finally able to breathe smoothly, opened his mouth tremblingly, licked the bloodstains off his lips, and his violently heaving chest slowly calmed down.
"This can't go on. You need to go to Xiao Wei's side as soon as possible; your health is very bad—"
"Let's talk about it later." A faint, ethereal voice drifted past her ear. Zhou Siyu looked up to meet Lin Ling's gaze, forced a smile, and quickly lowered her head. "Like you, I also hope Yu Wei can get everything he wants: honor, fame, status—"
"The premise is that you have to survive." Lin Ling interrupted Zhou Siyu with a cold face, raised his head, looked into his eyes and said word by word: "You are an independent individual. You don't need to depend on Xiao Wei to survive. Reproducing is not your responsibility alone. You shouldn't have to bear it alone."
"The alliance has never had a rule that military dependents cannot accompany military personnel. He is your partner and should be responsible for your and your children's safety."
"I'll write the application right now. No matter what, nothing can happen to you and the child—"
"Uncle Lin, can you tell me why you're so worried about this child?"
Zhou Siyu pulled up her clothes, smelled the lingering scent of Lianmu grass inside her coat, gently stroked her stomach, slowly raised her head, her eyes full of longing: "Because—this is another of your experimental subjects, isn't it?"
"In your eyes, Yu Wei, who went against your will, is a failed experiment, but you are unwilling to give up his genes, so you want to cultivate another experiment, is that right?"
When he saw the golden herb, he should have realized that what Lin Ling wanted was nothing more than an experimental subject with genes even stronger than Yu Wei's.
What do you know?
Lin Ling's eyes turned cold as she slowly put away the syringe, showing no sign of panic at being exposed.
“The Creation God Project, gene screening and elimination, experimental research on low-level civilizations—” Zhou Siyu raised his head, his amber eyes calm and unwavering, “and, spacetime connections.”
The laboratory has many restricted areas that are off-limits, but while doors can lock away inanimate objects, they cannot confine living people. The longer time goes on, the more legends about these restricted areas emerge.
But Zhou Siyu is different. He has Yu Wei's identity card. Since the military, the martial arts research institute, and the laboratory all use the same system, he can enter and exit any place at will and access all the data.
"Anything else?"
The silver needle tip gleamed with an eerie dark green under the green and blue light. Lin Ling slowly put away the syringe and turned to Zhou Siyu: "I control the most important information network in the alliance. I know everyone's genetic information and everyone's growth trajectory. It would be a waste of resources not to do something about it."
"You keep saying I was an unplanned twist, but wasn't I part of the plan too?"
Zhou Siyu slowly got up, supported by the sofa, and moved to the control panel. He bent over and started typing on the virtual keyboard.
“I thought you already knew.” Lin Ling shrugged, crossed his arms and walked to Zhou Siyu’s side. He smiled as he looked at the screen and slowly said, “Only when a powerful Alpha and an equally powerful Omega combine can they produce a more perfect and powerful offspring. I thought Yun Mu was the most suitable candidate, but I didn’t expect Yu Wei to give me such a surprise right away.”
Lin Ling smiled and shook her head, quite moved: "Genes are really a strange thing."
To this day, he still doesn't understand how the matching system works. It's like an iceberg floating on the water; you can see a corner of it, but you can never see the whole picture.
“Don’t worry, we’re all in the same boat.” Zhou Siyu shrugged, took out his ID card from his pocket, and pointed to a string of complex code on the screen: “Besides, you need my help.”
“I didn’t expect the problem to have occurred here.” Lin Ling raised an eyebrow, held the ID card between her index and middle fingers, examined it for a long time, and then returned the card to Zhou Siyu. “Since he gave you the card, he must have had his reasons.”
Before leaving, Yu Wei spoke with him, expressing his willingness to cooperate unconditionally with their plan, on the condition that Zhou Siyu's safety be ensured.
However, it seems that Yu Wei's worries about Zhou Siyu were completely unnecessary.
Zhou Siyu is far more cunning than Yu Wei.
"Uncle Yu, and other members of the Yu family, even the Alliance Army Committee, were all involved in these plans?"
While searching for data, Zhou Siyu chatted with Lin Ling. Since they had formed an alliance, they needed to show some sincerity.
“Yes, the Yu family is the mastermind behind the plan, and some members of the Lin family are also involved. Starting with Yu Wei’s grandfather, the Yu family has been secretly researching gene optimization and screening, intending to cultivate a perfect being close to a god, or rather, to cultivate a superhuman.” Lin Ling looked at the screen, but her gaze went straight through the screen and landed in the distance. “After the alliance was established, for the sake of secrecy, the military, the Martial Arts Research Institute, the Information Management Bureau, and the laboratories all used a communication network that was independent of the ordinary communication system, and only a few people could enter it.”
“Yu Zhen was the most outstanding among his peers, with strong genes and the strongest abilities in all aspects. He was the first person to approach perfection, but unfortunately—” Lin Ling lowered her head, smiled bitterly, and sighed slightly, “If only his glands hadn’t been damaged—”
If Yu Zhen's glands hadn't been damaged, he would still be the most powerful being in the alliance, and Yu Wei wouldn't have had to bear so much burden; he would be happier.
