Actually, what Qing Zhen said was not wrong. If it were just a debate, neither Qing Zhen nor Yang Xiaojin would be able to convince the other. That was because in Ren Xiaosu's opinion, the two parties only had different standpoints, but there was no way to distinguish right from wrong.
That was because the so-called right and wrong were just definitions imposed on you by others.
But be it the nuclei or the nanomachines, Ren Xiaosu did not think they were right or wrong. But what was the purpose of the people who used them?
While everyone was in a stalemate, Ren Xiaosu suddenly raised a question. "I have a question. Are those nanomachines really that useful?"
"They weren't very useful in the past." Luo Lan explained in layman's terms, "In the past, we could only program them to unclog blood vessels or something like that. But if they can be connected to neurons and put into military use, it'll be a different story."
Ren Xiaosu was taken aback. "What's the difference?"
"Think about it. Those tiny but tough nanomachines can become your new bones and muscles. And after they're connected to neurons, they'll be as obedient as your fingers. There's no need to give them any specific instructions. You can just use them however you want with your hands," Luo Lan said.
"That still sounds pretty average," Ren Xiaosu said.
"Forget it, I won't get through to you!" Luo Lan said disdainfully, "There's no way to communicate with an illiterate person."
Ren Xiaosu said unhappily, "I scored 560 points on the test this time, so who are you calling illiterate? How many points did you score on the test? "
Luo Lan said awkwardly, "Hahaha, why did you bring that up?!"
Yang Xiaojin looked calmly at Ren Xiaosu. She suddenly realized Ren Xiaosu was really thick-skinned. He even lied to her.
At this moment, Qing Zhen said with a smile, "No matter what, we're comrades today. Time will decide what happens in the future. We don't need that hard drive, so feel free to take it back with you."
Yang Xiaojin suddenly asked, "Have the results of the research on the Experimentals you captured come out yet? What's going on with them?"
Qing Zhen thought for a moment and said, "You may not believe it, but their bodies are full of cancer cells. No, to be precise, it's a type of cancer cell that has achieved its own equilibrium. "
"Everyone knows that the size of the cancer cells we've discovered so far is actually not uniform, and there are megakaryocytes, binucleates, and heterogeneous nuclei. However, the difference in these cells is that they are all binucleates, and the neatly arranged cells are no different from normal human cells."
"I suspect the Pyro Company was trying to find a way to achieve immortality in the past. There was once a woman who died, but the cancer cells in her body were revived. In the end, these cancer cells were named Hila cells after tens of thousands of generations."
Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked, "Is this all proven, or is it just your guess?"
"Oh." Qing Zhen smiled and said, "It's just my guess. After all, it hasn't been long since we started researching the Experimentals. Just listen to me."
Ren Xiaosu thought, "Why do you sound so sure when you're just guessing …"
"Wait a minute." Yang Xiaojin suddenly guessed, "Since they selectively injected the drug into humans, does that mean they only chose people with cancer cells?"
Qing Zhen said, "But I think that cancer cells are born from a genetic mutation in a single cell. If you want to define it, you can also say that it's an evolution that goes in an uncontrollable direction. But in my opinion, this kind of evolution will always be a defective product."
Today, Ren Xiaosu was exposed to all kinds of guesses. Some of them were even things he had never come into contact with before. For a moment, Ren Xiaosu was a little envious of these people who had received a complete education. That was because it meant these people in front of him had a complete understanding of the world.
"Let's part ways here." Qing Zhen said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I'm still under house arrest."
"Aren't you worried that they'll pose a threat to this world?" Ren Xiaosu suddenly asked.
Qing Zhen waved it off and got into the armored vehicle. "I've never thought much of them. Probably only children would find them terrifying."
Ren Xiaosu looked at Yang Xiaojin and thought it was no wonder Yang Xiaojin wanted to shoot him with a sniper rifle. It would be a pity not to shoot such a pretentious contestant.
However, his relationship with the Kyung Clan had suddenly turned from hostile to inexplicable. At the very least, the two of them would not have to fight to the death the next time he met Luo Lan.
Actually, Ren Xiaosu did not have any conflicts with the Kyung Clan. He was just a normal supernatural being who wanted to live a good life in this wasteland.
As Ren Xiaosu watched the armored vehicles drive off, he suddenly summoned his shadow clone to carry him and Yang Xiaojin on its back and ran. The Experimentals had retreated because they were afraid of the armored vehicles. Now that the armored vehicles had left, they might not be able to escape if they did not run away now.
"What are your plans for the future?" Ren Xiaosu asked as he bounced on the shadow clone's shoulder.
"Back to Stronghold 88," Yang Xiaojin said.
"Stronghold 88? That sounds really far." Ren Xiaosu sighed. After all, there were many serial numbers between the two locations.
"It's not too far." Yang Xiaojin said, "It's only two strongholds away."
"Eh, then why is the serial number so far apart?" Ren Xiaosu was puzzled.
"It used to be called Stronghold 101." Yang Xiaojin explained, "Later on, the previous consortium said it would be more auspicious, so the name was changed. Stronghold 88 is now called 101."
Ren Xiaosu was stunned speechless for a long time. How could it be like that? Wasn't this too fucking superstitious?
"What about you? What are your plans?" Yang Xiaojin asked.
"I'll look for Yan Liuyuan and the others first. I told them to head north," Ren Xiaosu said.
The sky had just brightened. The two of them chatted on the shadow clone's left and right shoulders as they ran off. The gloomy and dilapidated stronghold city behind them was getting further and further away from their vision.
If anyone came here again in the future, they would probably not imagine how prosperous this place used to be.
…
At this moment, Xu Xianchu was trekking in the wilderness. As he was already very far away from the territory controlled by the Kyung Clan, he was no longer worried about what the Kyung Clan could do to him.
When he passed by the Soong Clan's town yesterday, he even used the money given to him by Ren Xiaosu to buy a lot of supplies. It had to be said that the Kyung Clan's banknotes were quite useful. Other than paying for the handling fees, he did not have to worry about not being able to spend them.
In this day and age, it was very inconvenient for people who traveled to different strongholds to carry the currencies of different consortiums with them all year round.
The further he went into the Northwest, the more desolate the scenery became. Sometimes, a gust of wind would blow up yellow sand all over the sky.
Suddenly, Xu Xianchu stopped in his tracks. He was surprised to see a group of people speeding towards him on motorcycles in the wilderness. When Xu Xianchu sensed danger approaching, he immediately summoned his shadow clone.
The refugees in the Soong Clan's town had warned him to be careful of bandits as he headed further north.
But the moment he summoned his shadow clone, he was stunned. He saw a large, floating black cauldron appear in front of him and his shadow clone respectively.
The newcomers started shooting at Xu Xianchu from afar without any hesitation. However, the bullets did not even leave a mark on the black cauldron.
Xu Xianchu was amused. His superpower had actually evolved?!
As for these bandits … would a supernatural being be afraid of bandits? Xu Xianchu grinned sinisterly. He had to test out his new superpower on someone!
