Chapter 187 Unstable Factors
Lin Xiaoyue said, "You should have met Li Xiangyang. I'm talking about the young Li Xiangyang. We hope you can take him away. He hasn't been injected with the Mutated Beast's gene yet, but he has mastered all the key points of the experiment. Take him back and start the gene modification project as soon as possible."
"Why? This path might not be the right one."
"Trust me, this is the only way."
Lin Xiaoyue clearly did not accept any rebuttal.
"We have conducted countless experiments and planned countless possibilities. This is the one with the highest survival rate. Xiao Yue 26 is the best proof of that. You are too. You all survived, didn't you?"
If humanity wants to continue to reproduce, it must carry out a genetic modification program, and we have mastered all the key points of the experiment.
" If we had gone back to the beginning of the Post-Apocalyptic World, while humanity still had the resources, and started the project sooner, perhaps we wouldn't be in this desperate situation now."
Yu Miaomiao stopped trying to discuss with her whether the matter was right or wrong.
If, as she says, they are all people who have traveled back in time, then genetic modification is not entirely without a chance of success; at least Yu Miaomiao's life has indeed changed.
However, Yu Miaomiao does not accept this genetic modification plan. How is this different from Hang Song's behavior? To become stronger, to survive, he uses such crazy and extreme methods...
In her view, this is not the future of humanity.
However, Yu Miaomiao did not say these wordsin front of the two of them; she merely agreed on the surface.
"We're here to test equipment and find our companion. We can help you, but firstly, it can't interfere with our business, and secondly, I never do business at a loss."
Yu Miaomiao didn't believe what the two of them were saying. Even if it was true, she was no longer the experimental subject who came out of The Nineteenth Institute.
She has no memory of those missions, so she won't be bound by these fictitious things.
She follows her heart, doesn't believe in fate, and refuses to admit defeat.
For her, the greatest happiness would be to live a peaceful and stable life with Lu An and the others in the Post-Apocalyptic World.
"I'll listen to you."
Lin Xiaoyue was very dissatisfied. Her smile vanished instantly, replaced by a look of disdain and disappointment. "How can you be like this? Everyone has a responsibility for the rise and fall of the nation. The fate of humanity is in your hands. You should have some spirit of sacrifice and dedication."
"The subject of humanity is too vast; we don't have the capability to address it."
"I thought you were smart, but it turns out you're no different from those who came before you—a bunch of selfish bastards. In that case, there's no need to spare your lives."
Their attitudes changed faster than turning the pages of a book; in no time, the group went from discussing the future of humanity to being at each other's throats.
" Lin Xiaoyue, we should let go of this obsession. The people here are neither human nor ghost, and aren't you living a miserable life too? Let's end it here, let them take those instruments and data, go back to the past, and start a new exploration. Genetic modification and Androidare both wrong, both wrong!"
"Why not? Xiao Yue 26 is so perfect. This technology should be promoted. They will be the perfect continuation of the human race."
"But only Xiao Yue 26 succeeded, what about the others..."
Li Xiangyang seemed to be sometimes normal and sometimes insane. As he spoke, he became somewhat frantic, slamming his fists heavily on the lab table, leaving bloodstains on the gray-white surface. He had broken his own hand...
But he seemed oblivious to the pain, ignoring the injury to his exposed wrist bones, and continued to slam his wrists against the ground in a monotonous manner.
Lin Xiaoyue was already used to it. She didn't hide her hostility, but she still explained Li Xiangyang's abnormal behavior to Yu Miaomiaoand the others. "This is a side effect. He's acting like an animal, rigid and violent. Don't worry about him, he'll be fine in a bit."
"If you have this plan, why can't you do it yourselves? You can leave The Nineteenth Institute, can't you? You can even switch between time and space at will."
"We can't do it. I'm from this time and space, while Xiangyang is from the future."
Three dimensions appeared in Yu Miaomiao's mind: past, present, and future.
She belongs to the present, but for some reason returned to the past and then came to the present again due to some opportunity. Li Xiangyang belongs to the future, but in the future he finds that the experiment has failed and the plan to save humanity is hopeless. He wants to go back to the past with everything he has, but only arrives in the present.
It seems that time travel is not as easy as we imagined.
Seeing that Lin Xiaoyue and Li Xiangyang were both unwilling to give in and each held their own opinion.
Just then, the door was pushed open, and a younger version of Li Xiangyang walked in. "What are the three of you doing here?"
The young Li Xiangyang seemed not to see the middle-aged Li Xiangyang. He walked straight toward Yu Miaomiao, Lu An, and Lin Xiaoyue. He looked a little awkward and avoided eye contact when he looked at Lin Xiaoyue.
"Xiaoyue, Teacher Wang told me to come find you. There's an important experiment that you need to participate in."
"What experiment?"
" The Android project." When the young Li Xiangyang said these words, a look of pity and helplessness appeared in his eyes, but Lin Xiaoyue seemed to have known her fate all along and accepted these words calmly.
"You must be very curious about the birth of Xiao Yue 26, come with me to see how it is."
Lin Xiaoyue sheathed the sharp blade behind her and, as if nothing had happened, took Yu Miaomiao's and Lu An's arms on either side.
"How can this be? Teacher Wang will not agree to their participation. This plan is highly confidential. Xiaoyue, don't always make the teacher angry."
"Don't worry, she'll agree."
After saying that, Lin Xiaoyue whispered in Yu Miaomiao's ear in an extremely low voice, which only the two of them could hear, "I have been through this countless times."
Suddenly, it dawned on me that Lin Xiaoyuemight have some kind of special ability, similar to rebirth, except that the point of her rebirth is now.
She led many people from the past who entered this place countless times to see the future of humanity, but it seems that for some reason, they were all refused to be brought back by the people from the past.
If it is truly the continuation of the human race, then why has it failed countless times?
Yu Miaomiao is now very curious about what kind of Android technology Lin Xiaoyue is so obsessed with, believing it to be the most perfect solution.
Yu Miaomiao was filled with doubt. She stared at Lin Xiaoyue, trying to glean more information from her eyes.
The Android project seems to hold the key to unraveling all these mysteries.
She decided to temporarily suppress her doubts and follow Lin Xiaoyue to see the birth of the so-called " Xiao Yue 26," hoping it might provide some clues about the true purpose of the laboratory.
The middle-aged Li Xiangyang just kept pounding the table, repeating, "Impossible...impossible..."
"Ignore him."
