Jiang Wenpei said, "I don't know either. The Creator gave me the Resurrection Pendant and told me to cancel the security agreement. So I put the jade pendant in like this, and then this thing asked me what I wanted to do. I answered that I would activate multiple cloning."
Su Wan nodded and said to the control panel, "I want to shut down the cloning."
The mechanical female voice said, "Shutting down the cloning pod is a top-level command that requires the commander's personal authorization. Please complete the genetic verification first."
An oval-shaped platform rises from the console, with a thumb-shaped indentation on it.
Su Wan had done this test before, before she first met Zhang Ying. This time, she did the same, putting her thumb in the indentation and feeling like she had been bitten by a mosquito. When she lifted her thumb, a bead of blood appeared.
Wei Jingzhuo reached out and grasped her fingers, then put them in his mouth and sucked on them.
Su Wan felt embarrassed and withdrew her finger, saying, "Someone is watching."
The mechanical female voice was silent for a moment before speaking: "Genetic verification complete. It does not match the commander's genetic sequence. Your operation request is denied."
Although the people present didn't quite understand what the word "refusal" meant, they could all tell it.
Meng Ruliu said, "The commander is Zhang Ying, right? Does that mean we can't stop even though she's not here?"
Chu Yi shrugged and said, "That should be it..."
If even Su Wan can't pass the verification, then no one else has a chance.
Meng Ruliu said anxiously, "Sister, you must think of something quickly. The walls of the Southern Chu capital have collapsed, and the clone army is attacking now."
“I know, I’m anxious too,” Su Wan replied to Meng Ruliu before turning back to the console. “Is there any way to shut down this cloning process?”
The mechanical female voice said, "Shutting down the cloning pod is a top-level command that requires the commander's personal authorization. Please complete the genetic verification first."
Su Wan said, "That commander is having the clone army kill people right now."
"Shutting down the cloning pod is a top-level command that requires the commander's personal authorization. Please complete the genetic verification first."
"What she did was illegal, didn't you know that?"
"Shutting down the cloning pod is a top-level command, requiring the commander's personal authorization. Please complete the genetic verification first."
Su Wan knew that arguing with the machine was pointless, so she asked Chu Yi, "Brother Chu, where's your knife?"
If it won't let me close it, then I'll do what Bai Zhiyi did and just destroy the cloning console. I don't believe it can continue cloning even if it malfunctions.
Chu Yi said, "It was taken away a long time ago."
Su Wan then turned to Meng Ruliu: "Sister-in-law, you're strong, can you just smash it?"
Meng Ruliu hesitated for a moment, then said, "You really want me to smash it?"
Su Wan said, "It says that Zhang Ying has to come in person to turn it off. We can't go to Zhang Ying, so we'll just destroy it."
Meng Ruliu said, "I don't know if it will work, but I'll give it a try."
She walked to the control panel, clenched her fists, raised them high, and slammed them down onto the panel with a thud. The impact of flesh against steel sent numbness through her hands, but the control panel didn't even dent.
The mechanical female voice said, "Violent sabotage detected. The threat needs to be eliminated immediately."
Red lights illuminated the room, and a piercing alarm blared. The metal door behind them, which had been tightly shut, slowly rose. Outside stood a massive horde of clone army soldiers. As the door opened, several soldiers crawled on the ground, attempting to climb inside.
Jiang Wenpei exclaimed, "Oh no, this thing can control the gate's opening and closing!"
Su Wan was shocked and shouted to Wei Jingzhuo and the others, "Stop them!"
Wei Jingzhuo and Chu Yi had already seen it. Before Su Wan could even shout, Wei Jingzhuo had already rushed to the door and kicked out a clone soldier who had only crawled halfway inside. Chu Yi also delivered a flying kick, kicking out another clone soldier.
Jiang Wenpei picked up the Resurrection Pendant from the control panel, rushed to the door, and placed it into the recess, preventing the door from rising, but he could no longer make the door fall.
Just then, clone army soldiers outside the door shouted, "Do not use firearms, lest you damage the core equipment. Charge in and capture the intruders!"
At this moment, the gate rose about one meter high, and clone army soldiers kept peeking out from under it. Wei Jingzhuo, Chu Yi, and Meng Ruliu stood guard at the door, punching and kicking, and every head that poked out was met with a head-on blow.
“Sister, turn that thing off quickly!” Meng Ruliu grabbed a soldier by the neck with each hand and slammed their heads together. “We can’t hold out for much longer.”
Wei Jingzhuo punched a soldier in the face with his left hand, knocking him unconscious. He tried to use the soldier's body to block the gap under the door with his left hand, but seven or eight hands reached in from the outside and dragged the unconscious soldier out. Several more heads then poked their way in.
Chu Yi braced himself against the metal door with both hands, one foot planted firmly. Anyone who peeked out would get a kick in the face. He kicked dozens of times until his toes ached. The number of clone army soldiers outside seemed endless.
Su Wan was sweating profusely with anxiety, unable to figure out what the buttons on the control panel did, so she pressed them randomly. A mechanical female voice kept playing in response to her actions.
"You have adjusted the time. The current time is 1 minute and 25 seconds ahead of the original time. Please press the asterisk key to confirm..."
"You have requested that the plaza be cleaned. Cleaning staff will begin cleaning in two hours."
"You have initiated a second customer satisfaction survey, but the cloning device manufacturer only authorizes you to use this type of survey once per year."
"You have ordered takeout, but we are currently unable to contact any takeout providers."
