Chapter 188 The Bottom Line of Being a Human Being
As Yu Miaomiao closed the door, she glanced back at the middle-aged Li Xiangyang one last time. The despair in his eyes was genuine; the experiments inside The Nineteenth Institute had left him with a deep shadow and trauma.
The group arrived at a new space, which was all white and filled with a strong smell of disinfectant.
The laboratory was a maze of interconnected structures, with various high-tech devices flashing cold lights along the corridors, and the air filled with a smell that was a mixture of disinfectant and metal.
Led by young Li Xiangyang, they passed through a series of heavy security doors and finally arrived at a room for cultivating artificial life.
"I'll go in and talk to the teacher first. Xiaoyue, you need to change your temper too. Don't argue with the teacher again."
"I know what I'm doing. I'll go in with you; the teacher will agree."
Looking through the glass, Yu Miaomiao could see a woman with gray hair making notes in front of an incubator.
Lin Xiaoyue's tone became low and devout: "That's my teacher. When you go in, call himTeacher Wang. This project aims to create a new generation of humans who can adapt to the post-apocalyptic environment and possess high intelligence and self-repair capabilities."
We not only replicate the physical body, but more importantly, we attempt to infuse it with emotions and consciousness, making it a truly human being.
However, it was clear that the baby Teacher Wang was holding had missing limbs.
And the next second, Teacher Wang tightly covered her mouth and nose, and she, who had just been crying, immediately lost her life.
"This is what you call a plan?" Yu Miaomiaocouldn't believe her eyes. This was more casual than slaughtering chickens and fish at a market...
"Those are all failures, they don't matter. You wait, I will soon let you witness the birth of Xiao Yue 26. "
Yu Miaomiao then noticed a line of small print on the tiny incubator: XX23. Clearly, the first part was the mother cell, and the second part was the number of incubation cycles.
Here, those people seem to treat life as a game, and can arbitrarily kill any child that is not cultivated to their ideal state.
Li Xiangyang turned his head away, his eyes filled with reluctance, but he still obediently followed Lin Xiaoyue into the cultivation room.
Yu Miaomiao took a deep breath, suppressing the shock and anger in her heart. She gripped Lu An's hand tightly, and the two exchanged a resolute look.
In this cold and indifferent laboratory, they became each other's only support.
In any case, they must ensure that their actions have a positive impact on the world, rather than becoming accomplices in this cruel experiment.
This is the bottom line for being human.
After the two entered the laboratory, they were talking to Teacher Wang. Teacher Wang looked at Yu Miaomiao and Lu An through the glass, his gaze appraising them before turning into one of satisfaction.
Teacher Wang nodded, and Lin Xiaoyue came out and waved to Yu Miaomiao and the other girl, "The teacher agrees, you can come in with me."
The two followed Lin Xiaoyue into the laboratory, and the heavy door closed with a thud.
Lin Xiaoyue lay down on the white operating table. Teacher Wang and Li Xiangyang both put on masks. Li Xiangyang was responsible for passing the surgical instruments, while Teacher Wang was the surgeon.
"Don't worry, Teacher Wang used to be a leading obstetrician and gynecologist, nothing will happen."
She wouldn't fail; she had gone through countless cycles, and each time she was lucky enough to create the perfect Xiao Yue 26, so she agreed without hesitation.
Her unwavering dedication to this plan makes it hard not to have doubts.
Yu Miaomiao and Lu An understood each other perfectly, remaining on high alert as the shadow beneath them grew longer and longer, creating a suddenly oppressive atmosphere.
"This is my 26th time participating in the experiment. This time it will definitely be a success, so you don't need to be nervous."
She said this in front of everyone, so it seems that everyone here has accepted her ability to be reborn and reincarnated.
The surgery was bloodier than they had imagined, and Lin Xiaoyue died on the operating table. But Teacher Wang took off his mask and said with a happy expression, "It was a great success."
Looking at Lin Xiaoyue, who was lying on the operating table with a pool of blood beneath her,Yu Miaomiao found it hard to associate the word "success" with her.
She gently checked his pulse; he had indeed lost all vital signs…
But the next second, Lin Xiaoyue gasped and came back to life.
"This is Xiaoyue's special ability."
Resurrection? That's outrageous.
However, if this plan ultimately requires the resurrection of the mother, how can this plan possibly be popularized and thus complete the continuation of the human race?
"What about the other participants? Do all the experimental subjects here have this ability?"
"Of course not. I am special, and Xiao Yue 26 will also be special. She will inherit my abilities."
Lin Xiaoyue jumped off the operating table as if nothing had happened, changed her clothes, and walked out calmly.
Amazing resilience.
The lingering stench of blood still hung in the air, but Lin Xiaoyue nonchalantly began the next step of her experiment.
Genetic screening and gene implantation...
However, if those mothers cannot safely leave the operating room, then this plan is absolutely wrong and should be terminated immediately.
The people here have gone mad.
They treat this heinous act as humanity's salvation and continue to push it forward.
" Miaomiao, we can't just stand by and do nothing." Lu An felt a pang of guilt. From the first whimpering, disabled baby to now, with them saying the mother's risk of death was extremely high…
This so-called "Spark Project" should never have existed in the first place.
If continuation is based on destruction and damage, then it must be wrong.
Yu Miaomiao was also filled with shock and anger. What was originally an ordinary scientific research experiment had been turned into such an absurd and ridiculous ending by these scientific madmen.
This is not salvation for humanity, but destruction.
The survivors of this era may still be hoping that everything will turn out for the better, and that humanity will eventually be able to resist nature and find a glimmer of hope.
Yu Miaomiao believed that victory would come one day, but she did not believe that her life would be extended in this way.
"You are all ridiculously wrong."
Were Lin Xiaoyue, Li Xiangyang, and the others driven insane by the apocalypse, or were they injected with gene samples from those Mutated Beasts...?
"How could we be wrong? We poured our hearts and souls into this plan, how could we be wrong!"
Lin Xiaoyue could not accept anyone slandering the experimental results they had worked so hard to obtain. At this moment, she spread her wings again, and countless sharp blades appeared across the two of them.
"This time it was me, next time it will be you. I'vealready made it to Teacher Wang."
Lin Xiaoyue's laughter was unrestrained and arrogant. She was no longer pretending; this was her true purpose: to find the next batch of mothers.
Yu Miaomiao and Lu An are the next batch of mothers she is looking for for the Fire Seed Project.
"So this is your real purpose: to use Li Xiangyangto lure people in here so that you can continuously supply the mother body for your experiments."
