"Number 009? Experimental subject?" Lan Shuang's expression changed subtly. "So, there's no such thing as human evolution, and the appearance of zombies has nothing to do with the rain. The source of everything is your experiment?"
Lan Han explained, "That's not the case. We initially wanted to study whether humans could integrate the power of nature into their own bodies, which is why we conducted this experiment. To do this, we found several pairs of people with excellent genes, combined their sperm and eggs, and then cultivated them into artificial embryos, continuously injecting our research drugs."
"At first, our experiment was very successful. All ten embryos grew to maturity, and ten babies were born. We began increasing the dosage of the drug to help them gradually adapt. We recorded their physical changes every day. For the first ten years, there were no problems. But after they turned ten, the ten test subjects began to die one after another. The first to die was number ten. He died while being baptized by the power of lightning. Then came number eight. His organs suddenly began to fail to varying degrees. This lasted for a year, and he sadly passed away."
When Lan Han mentioned these experimental subjects, the expression on his face became more complicated, as if he really felt sorry for them, but this regret was the regret for the disappearance of a rare object, not the regret for a life.
Perhaps in his eyes, the experimental subjects were just experimental subjects and could not be considered human beings at all.
Lan Shuang felt a chill down her spine when she saw this, thinking that their parents had made the right choice of name, Lan Han, Lan Han, it was chilling.
Lan Han noticed the sarcasm in Lan Shuang's eyes, but he didn't stop and continued, "Within eighteen years, the other experimental subjects died one after another, and in the end only number nine remained, 009, the Lan Qing you mentioned."
"He had entered a period of exhaustion after a sudden fever. We thought he was going to die and the experiment was a failure. But unexpectedly, after three days and three nights of fever, he miraculously recovered. We gave him a comprehensive examination and found that his body functions had returned to normal, with no sequelae. He had also absorbed all the viruses and developed new mutations, which became his superpower - replication."
Lan Shuang finally got some positive feedback, "It really is a replica."
Lan Han pushed up his glasses. "It seems you've already witnessed his abilities. Then you should understand how terrifying this ability is. He can replicate any ability and move he sees, including human thoughts."
Lan Shuang's heart moved, and she seemed to understand something.
Lan Han met her gaze and confirmed her suspicions. "He replicated the thoughts of the lab technician who supervised him daily, learned his own identity and some information about the outside world. He knew he might spend his entire life in the lab, or be forced to reproduce, so he killed the lab technician and escaped."
"Escaped? Your place is heavily guarded, and there's a vast ocean between you and this side. How did he get away?"
Lan Han paused, his expression a little strange. "Actually, we initially tried to give him both vampire and angel abilities, hoping to see which would remain. Unexpectedly, he absorbed them all and turned into a monster. He has a pair of wings that can carry him across the ocean."
His tone was full of regret and he shook his head.
Lan Shuang clenched her hands and laughed in anger: "Monster? You think he is a monster?"
Lan Han didn't understand her anger, "Isn't it?"
Lan Shuang looked at him with cold eyes and said in a deep voice, "In my opinion, you and those who use any means necessary to impose what you want on others regardless of their wishes are monsters."
Lan Han frowned in dissatisfaction, "Shuangshuang, I am your brother, where is your respect for me?"
"Respect is something you earn, not something given by others. Obviously, your actions, words, and deeds are not enough to earn my respect. In fact, I really, really hate you."
Lan Shuang's fingers trembled slightly. This was not only her reaction, but also the reaction of the original owner's remaining will.
In her previous life, she worked so hard to research potions, hoping to save millions of people from disaster, end the apocalypse, and give everyone a stable society. She paid the price with her life for this, but she never expected that the culprit behind all this was her brother?
How could the original owner accept this?
Faith and family affection collapsed at the same time, and the original owner's soul trembled.
888 quickly calmed her down, "Host, are you okay? The original owner's soul is a little agitated. Calm down and don't be affected!"
"I'm very calm," Lan Shuang said. "There's never been a calmer moment than now."
She suddenly raised her hand, and her fingers flew with such agility that people looked sideways.
Lan Han looked at her in confusion: "What are you doing?"
Lan Shuang didn't answer, but just gave a heart-pounding smile. "Now that you've captured Lan Qing, what do you want to do with him? Dissect him? Use his blood for experiments on vaccines?"
This question was a sensitive one, but Lan Han thought for a moment before answering, "Yes, he burned down the lab when he left, causing toxic substances to leak and the virus to merge with the clouds, leading to the current situation. He should pay the price for this. Moreover, he was the subject with the most fused viruses, so his blood is extremely valuable. With his help, we can resolve the apocalypse as quickly as possible."
Hope and madness ignited in his eyes. Lan Shuang scoffed. The next moment, a golden light suddenly appeared in her palm. Lan Shuang whispered, "All things have their source. All creatures in heaven and earth. The golden vine—bind!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a golden vine flew out from her palm, grew bigger in the wind, and pounced towards Lan Han.
Lan Han was surprised. "What is this? Isn't your ability a healing one? How can you mobilize vines?"
He tried to hide, but the vines chased him like a person and soon bound his hands and feet tightly.
Lan Shuang walked up to him, felt through his pockets, and took out a card and a key.
She snorted coldly, "There are so many things you don't know. Now, just stay here. I'll rescue the monster you're talking about. I'll take him to a place where no one can find him. The current situation isn't his fault. It's the fault of you, a bunch of unscrupulous lunatics. He shouldn't have to pay for your mistakes."
"I--"
Without waiting for him to say anything, Lan Shuang knocked him unconscious with a knife, stood up, put her card and key in her pocket, changed her clothes and put on her shoes, and went straight to the laboratory.
888 showed her the way. Many people saw her along the way, but didn't take her seriously. Lan Han didn't make Lan Qing's affairs public, so only the top leaders of the Northern Base knew Lan Qing's identity, which made it convenient for Lan Shuang.
No one stopped her along the way.
