Chapter 53
"Say it again?" Yan Xuanjin rushed in with a cold look, his yellow-green eyes gleaming dangerously in the night.
02 saw the face of the person coming, smiled, glanced at Ling Yun who was handcuffed by him, and said: "If you kill me, no one can unlock the combination handcuffs on his hands."
Yan Xuanjin exerted more strength in his hands.
...Combination handcuffs?
Even combination handcuffs still retain the most primitive mechanical unlocking method.
Lingyun's fingers kept groping, and finally, he found the last gear that needed to be slid open.
"If these handcuffs are forcibly removed, or if the wrong combination is entered, the explosives buried beneath this house will immediately detonate." 02, feeling his breathing becoming increasingly difficult, saw Yan Xuanjin's unpleasant expression, narrowed his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "What will you choose, Colonel?"
"How does he choose?"
Ling Yun suddenly spoke, drawing everyone's attention to him.
He slowly extended his hand, which was handcuffed behind his back, and placed it in front of 02, shaking it. "He won't choose any of them."
Just when 02 was distracted, Yan Xuanjin suddenly used his mental strength to kick his knee, subduing him with a quick and decisive move.
Offense and defense are easy to adopt.
"What kind of cooperation do you want to discuss with us? Tell me, 02." Ling Yun stood up from the bed, pulled a stool and sat in front of 02 who was kneeling on the ground.
Yan Xuanjin looked at him in surprise, feeling a little itchy, but didn't say anything.
02 He seemed confused about the current situation and kept his mouth shut, refusing to say anything.
Ling Yun's originally kind eyes suddenly became sharp, and Yan Xuanjin wisely increased the intensity of his mental suppression.
02 The python was trembling all over and lay on the ground in a slumped position, not moving.
Seeing that he still didn't explain, Yan Xuanjin was about to add a little more force when he heard 02's answer.
"You should know that the Zerg are gradually breaking through the suppression of the human sentinels and guides." 02 observed Ling Yun's expression. "The Empire and the Federation have already begun preparations to resist the Zerg invasion. But their childish things... Tsk, with all due respect, if that happens, we won't even know how we died."
"Not to mention the Empire is divided into two factions. The Origin Tracing Faction and the Technology Faction have almost never interacted with each other, and the research results of both sides are incomplete and ineffective. If this continues, the Empire may have to follow the Federation's lead."
How did he know these things...
Yan Xuanjin stared at the back of 02's head with a stern gaze, trying to guess his background.
"Get to the point." Yan Xuanjin interrupted.
02 pursed his lips and got the conversation back on track: "The lab has found a way to increase both the upper and lower limits of humanity and defend against the Zerg, but there's no stable technical support."
"You want to turn humans into orcs." Yan Xuanjin said.
02 didn't seem surprised at all that he knew this: "Yes. This is the only effective method we've found so far."
As an orc, Ling Yun understood how cruel this experiment was. He stood up and angrily grabbed 02 by the collar. "Are you crazy?! The success rate of orc experiments is so low. As orcs, you and I both know the suffering we've endured!"
"Yes. But this is also a helpless measure." 02 met Ling Yun's angry eyes and said calmly, "Besides, the current orc technology has been updated for a generation."
“You are a product of the first generation of technology, so you are called 01. I am a product of the second generation.
The second generation of orc technology can already extract DNA from existing normal species and then fuse it with human genes to achieve the goal of promoting human evolution.
I used the second-generation technology to upgrade from an A-class sentinel to an S-class one."
Ling Yun was silent for a moment, then thought of a question: "Your spiritual body and the DNA you received..."
"After a Sentinel or Guide receives second-generation orc technology, their original spirit body will change along with their genes. However, the fused animal DNA needs to match human DNA. Generally, as long as they match, the changes to the spirit body won't be too significant."
"You want Dark Blade to promote the integration of the Origin Tracing Faction and the Technology Faction, and let the Technology Faction provide you with technical support." Yan Xuanjin said.
"Yes." 02 nodded. "And as far as I know... you, Dark Blade, have already been doing this. In fact, you should have known about what I just said."
"Am I right, Colonel?"
This time it was Yan Xuanjin who remained silent.
He felt Lingyun's slightly surprised gaze, blinked soothingly, and signaled him to explain in detail when he got back.
What we need to consider now is cooperation with the source-tracing faction.
"I need to see your sincerity. Submit a detailed report on the feasibility of the technology within three days."
02 knew this meant they had reached a cooperation agreement. He laughed and said, "Of course, but Colonel, could you please let me go first?"
"cannot."
02:?
This is different from the script I imagined.
"You need to cooperate with me and go to the palace." Yan Xuanjin said expressionlessly.
It just so happens that Lingyun doesn’t have to go and show the orcs to his second brother in person.
This is the fresh experimental subject delivered to our door.
