It was as if a great bell was ringing in my ears.
Chang Le stared wide-eyed, stunned.
When Jiu Fanggui said that the video in front of him was like a thunderclap that had traveled through three hundred years of time, shattering all the storms of those hundreds of years, Jiu Fanggui was shocked.
Integration;
create;
powerless;
From nothing to something.
Artificial alien species
Artificial superhumans...
I see!
It turns out that from the very beginning, it was never a "fusion".
It is a transfer and gift of ability, allowing those who are powerless and have not been blessed by heaven to have a relatively equal opportunity, and enabling the entire human race to have more power to protect civilization and the world.
However, the artificial mutants and artificial superhumans that were unable to be modified were later criticized as "mutations" resulting from failed experiments and "evil" from cruel experiments.
All eyes, without prior agreement, ignored the opportunity to change their fate and focused entirely on Jiu Fanggui, Fu Guang, and others who were originally superhumans and could integrate other abilities.
Both "integration" and "creation" are methods capable of changing the future destiny of all humanity. Under the optimal consideration of combining humanity and interests, "integration," which benefits a small group of people, stands out and attracts worldwide attention.
The laboratory and its inhabitants, who pursued "creation" and guarded the secrets of "creation" and "fusion," were all sacrificed to the self-serving nature of humanity, dying at the hands of their own kind.
Yes, in the face of natural disasters and rampant alien species, it is not wrong for everyone to seek survival. How many people are willing to choose "creation" and dedicate resources to transform the powerless, instead of choosing "integration" and becoming someone who possesses all the power to overcome even natural disasters?
It's human nature to be indifferent, yet helpless.
Just like Chang Le harbors hatred in his heart, yet is unable to direct that hatred at any one person or group of people.
However, the world is cruel, and these people did not receive any special treatment.
When Jiu Fanggui handed her the tissue, she realized that there were tears in her eyes.
Chang Le took the tissue, but Jiu Fanggui didn't ask her why she was crying.
"Sir, [fusion] is difficult, but this path is even more difficult than [fusion]." Chang Le looked at the video and Jiu Fanggui's bright eyes.
"I came into this world, so I must do some things that only I can do," Jiu Fanggui replied with a smile.
Jiu Fanggui's eyes were a clear brownish-yellow, like translucent amber. When he spoke, the light in his eyes was more brilliant than ever before.
“Then… sir, I’ll accompany you.” Chang Le also smiled.
Jiu Fanggui ruffled her hair; this was the first time he had ever made a slightly intimate gesture, and Chang Le squinted her eyes in comfort.
"This isn't a good place to continue our research. We need to leave before things get completely chaotic here. Lele, would you like to come home with me?"
"good!"
Afterwards, Jiu Fanggui planned to leave within a month.
Judging from the timeline, Jiu Fanggui's departure coincides roughly with the chaotic period of the collapse of the old regime as recorded in historical documents.
Chang Le was determined to follow Jiu Fanggui, but his only worry was Wen Yuqiao.
She arrived at Green Park, a small park where the residents of the underground city could take turns relaxing.
Wen Yuqiao came over with her neighbor. When Chang Le came to find her, she saw Wen Yuqiao, who was heavily pregnant, playing with the neighbor's child, her eyes filled with a warm maternal glow.
When Chang Le arrived, the neighbors took their children to play nearby. Wen Yuqiao pulled Chang Le aside and asked her a lot of questions, worried that she might not be able to take good care of herself.
Before Chang Le could even mention her departure, Wen Yuqiao spoke up first: "Lele, I'm leaving here in a few days."
Shen Hongchou said things aren't peaceful here, and he wants to send Madam Shen and me to Huacheng. We probably won't be back for at least a year or two. Lele, do you want to come with me?
"I was just about to tell you, Aunt Qiao, so I'm not going to come with you."
Chang Le told her, "I'm going to do research elsewhere with my husband. I was worried that Aunt Qiao might be in danger here by herself, but now that Aunt Qiao has been taken care of, I can leave with peace of mind."
"Where are we going? Will it be dangerous?" Wen Yuqiao asked worriedly.
“Aunt Qiao, it’s dangerous everywhere these days. But don’t worry, my husband is here. He’s very capable and will protect me.”
Although Wen Yuqiao was worried, she knew that Chang Le was a girl with lofty ambitions, and she would not stop her.
Five days later, Chang Le saw Wen Yuqiao off on the bus to Huacheng. As she watched the departing vehicle, she unconsciously clenched her hands. She was also worried about Wen Yuqiao.
If it weren't for the fact that Wen Yuqiao safely gave birth to Shen Fuguang during that real period, she wouldn't have been so at ease letting Wen Yuqiao leave.
Chang Le composed herself and returned to Jiu Fanggui's residence.
"Sir?" Chang Le saw Jiu Fanggui sitting on the sofa with a somber expression. "What happened?"
"You're back." Jiu Fanggui's expression softened upon seeing her. "Have a seat."
Chang Le had already realized what was going on: "Sir, is it because they don't want you to leave?"
Jiu Fanggui does not belong to any family, faction, or country; he was invited by Shen Hongchou to take up a temporary post here. Originally, it was said that he could leave at any time after the war caused by the extraterrestrial invasion had basically subsided, but now Jiu Fanggui wants to leave, but his request has been politely declined.
Rong Jichang and others from the old regime in China wanted him to continue serving the government, while Shen Hongchou and those on his side also subtly expressed their reluctance to let him leave.
Over the past five days, Jiu Fanggui has requested to leave three times, but not only have his requests been rejected, he has also been placed under surveillance and house arrest, and is not allowed to leave Jingwei City.
Today, Jiu Fang returned to Wen Yuqiao and found Shen Hongchou, who was hiding from him. After questioning him, he received a veiled warning from Shen Hongchou, who told him that the situation was tense and that he should not show his face at this time, otherwise he would become a pawn to be sacrificed before the battle.
