” Zhou Xi) have you read the information on the Aliens?”
In a meeting room, a middle-aged man sar in the chair and spoke to a woman in her twenties who was wearing a tight black suit.
“I did…”
Zhou Xi had a heroic spirit between her eyebrows. She did not look like a pure flower vase. “Steward Bai, can this thing that Re Zhao created really break the upper limit of human life?!”
“There is a considerable possibility. If they can indeed find a way to maintain one’s sanity while being parasitized or parasitizing another…”
“Their progress has already surpa.s.sed ours…”
“We’ve been stuck on the ninth tier of generic enhancement elixir for several years now…”
“The Scientific Research Inst.i.tute indicated that if we can break through the ninth tier, any subsequent realm would allow us to break the human genetic limit, obtaining a longer life span…”
“Steward Bai, is there any progress from the Scientific Research Inst.i.tute regarding breaking through the ninth tier of genetic enhancement?”
“None!”
Steward Bai let out a long sigh, “The executive in charge of this segment is that old stickler, implementing only conservative plans…”
“Are you referring to… execution on the failures?” Zhou Xi asked.
“Mm!”
“All the existing examples are those 1% of survivors…”
“According to the Scientific Research Inst.i.tute, there’s a certain chance that among the remaining 99% of the failures, mutations may occur in another field…11
“Regardless of the mutation, the possibility of ultimately breaking through the ninth-tier limit is significant. Even if the mutated lack sanity, it greatly aids our research on how to breaking through the living beings limit…”
“It’s just a pity, with the regulations set by that stickler, every failure must be killed…”
Zhou Xi was not quite understanding the meaning behind her boss’s words today.
She smiled seductively and twisted her hips, “Do you want to eat fish today?”
Steward Bai glanced at her black stockings and pursed his lips, “Tired of it. If you could help rhe corporation with its worries…”
Her smile fading as she asked, “What are your plans?”
“Where does rhe Re Zhao Corporation experiment?”
“Near Black Rock City?”
“And the time for transporting gene elixir to Black Rock City?”
Zhou Xi quickly pulled out a memo pad, looked it over, and said, “It’s today, in one hour…”
She seemed to grasp something, “You plan to sacrifice Black Rock City?!”‘
“Nonsense!”
Steward Bai was speechless, “If Black Rock City is destroyed, it will attract the attention of rhe executive…”
Zhou Xi bit her finger, “Then pick an unknown group of people?”
“Mm!”
Seeing Steward Bai nod, Zhou Xi felt a bit uneasy, “What if it gets out of control and spreads, wouldn’t we become sinners?”
“Pfft!”
Steward Bai scoffed, “Are you still afraid of that?!”
Zhou Xi’s voice took on a coy tone, ” I’m just a delicate girl, if we’re talking historically, I’d be considered a calamity. The real infamy, I’m afraid would fall on you, Steward Bai…”
“Infamy? What I am doing is a great deed for rhe eternal life of mankind. In rhe present, 1 might be seen as a sinner, but if placed in the context of all human history, should 1 succeed, I would be an immortal saint, the faith of humanity…”
“Indeed, may this humble girl invite the saint for a drink?”
Atop a certain school building.
A group of students on patrol suddenly heard a buzzing sound.
“A helicopter!”
“The Reed Corporation’s logo!”
“It must be delivering generic elixir to Black Rock City…”
“Kid, don’t make a fuss over nothing. We see this stuff every day; you’re just not used to it yet…1‘
As one of the students tried to appear worldly-wise to another.
That student pointed into the distance, “It’s… it’s falling!”
Everyone turned around and noticed a helicopter began spiraling in mid-air, as if the pilot had lost control and was desperately trying to correct it.
The helicopter danced in the sky, tumbling haphazardly towards the ground.
“Boom—!”
With a ma.s.sive explosion, the entire school was startled!
“What happened?!”
“The helicopter crashed!”
“The Reed Corporation’s helicopter!”
The news reached the school’s leader, a young man in his early twenties with a square face and thick eyebrows.
“What’s going on?!”
A student quickly reported, “Brother Yi, Reed Corporation s helicopter crashed outside the school!”
“What?!”
He was startled and quickly led his people towards the school.
By the time his group armed with various firearms and rescue supplies arrived at rhe scene. The downed helicopter was in pieces and a few charred bodies were aflame, the fire burning fiercely.
“Extinguish the fire!”
The order came from the thick-browed youth.
“How are we supposed to extinguish it…”
“With water!”
“We re short on water too!”
“Then use sand…”
Seeing his people panicking, the thick-browed youth showed a helpless expression and shouted, “Get moving! Whether it’s with water or sand, just put out the fire!!”
Everyone finally stopped hesitating. They split into two groups; one ran to get water, while another group started digging up sand to extinguish the fire..
