There were many doubts about Chen Liu 'er and Li Shentan's clones from the beginning. The most important thing was that everyone did not understand why the Pyro Company did not popularize the superhuman clones' abilities since they had a way to activate them.
When Li Shentan heard Luo Lan's doubts, he said with a smile, "It's useless to wonder about that now. Why don't we continue walking? I think the answer might be waiting for us up ahead."
With that, Li Shentan led the way forward. Now that Li Shentan and the others knew Ren Xiaosu, they suddenly formed a small, natural group.
Regardless of where the others came from, Luo Lan and the others subconsciously chose to stick together. At the very least, with Ren Xiaosu around, they would not harm each other.
Li Shentan glanced at Yang Xiaojin. "Speaking of which, I put in a lot of effort into your reunion. Can you tell me what happened after you went after him?"
At first, Yang Xiaojin thought Li Shentan was going to talk about something serious. But after laying the groundwork for so long, it turned out he was going to ask about gossip.
But Yang Xiaojin suddenly realized Luo Lan and the others' eyes were glowing. It seemed like they were all very interested.
Off to the side, Zhou Yingxue said disdainfully, "Why are a bunch of men poking their noses into the private affairs of my master and madam?"
Luo Lan felt sad. Why couldn't he get a maidservant like her?
Li Shentan realized there were only these nutrition chambers in the basement, and they were only semi-finished products. Logically speaking, there should be more secrets hidden in this building.
But when they reached the end, two alloy doors on the ground in front of them suddenly opened, revealing a flight of stairs leading downwards.
Luo Lan and the others looked at each other. For the doors to suddenly open at this time, it felt like someone was waiting for them to jump into a trap.
However, Li Shentan continued walking down without a care in the world. "There's nothing to be afraid of. If the Pyro Company really had the power to kill us, it would have released it a long time ago."
When Luo Lan and the rest saw Li Shentan walking in, they braced themselves and followed.
After the Nourishment Chamber incident, Vanilla and the others were left at the back of the group. They were thinking that even if there was any danger, Li Shentan should face it first.
However, when the last person on Luo Lan's side, Big Bluff, stepped onto the stairs, the alloy door on the ground closed again.
In other words, only Li Shentan, Si Liren, Yang Xiaojin, Luo Lan, Zhou Qi, Zhou Yingxue, and Big Bluff had entered the underground tunnel. Everyone else was locked outside!
Luo Lan panicked for a moment. "Are they fucking trying to close the door and beat us up?"
Li Shentan sighed and said, "You're still in the mood to scold yourself at a time like this? Just scold yourself, but don't drag us into it, alright?"
"Ahem, that's not a good choice of words." Luo Lan said, "But why did they lock us in here? It's obvious that someone did it on purpose. "
But as soon as he said that, the lights on both sides of the stairs lit up. The technological-looking walls and lights made everyone feel less threatened. Someone at the end of the stairs said, "Because only the few of you can hear what I'm about to say."
Li Shentan's interest was piqued. "I like the feeling of being given special treatment!"
Yang Xiaojin suddenly realized Luo Lan and Zhou Qi, who were next to her, were stunned.
The reason they were stunned was that the voice at the end of the stairs sounded too familiar!
This time, it was Luo Lan who walked in front. He walked down the long flight of stairs and looked at the familiar young man and white suit in front of him. "You're my younger brother's clone?"
The clone in front of him who looked exactly like Qing Zhen nodded with a smile. "That's right. He was born a year ago and quickly grew to become like this after staying in the petri dish for three months."
"Where did you get the DNA sample from?" Luo Lan asked anxiously.
"On the day he climbed the mountain path to become the Kyung Clan's chief, he walked barefoot on the long mountain path. Even the snow was dyed red, so it shouldn't be difficult to get a sample of his DNA. By the way, let me introduce myself. My name is Qing Shen, as in 'cautious'," Qing Shen explained.
Qing Zhen and Qing Shen were just one word apart, but their pronunciations were completely different.
But what had happened had completely exceeded everyone's expectations. They had thought about who the Pyro Company might have cloned, but they did not associate it with Qing Zhen. That was because Qing Zhen was not a supernatural being!
Others might still be suspicious of this, but Luo Lan was very certain his younger brother was not a supernatural being.
Qing Shen looked at Luo Lan and seemed to have guessed what he was thinking. "Among the DNA samples the Pyro Company obtained, Qing Zhen was indeed the only normal person. The Pyro Company did not suspect he was a supernatural being either. Right from the beginning, they only wanted to create a leader for the Pyro Company."
The Pyro Company believed in the path they were taking from the bottom of their hearts. They firmly believed they could use their genes to change the future of mankind. They firmly believed they could use their genes to create a better world and society.
If they only wanted to change others, that would just be a hypocritical excuse. Therefore, their change had to start from themselves.
Not only did they want to create supernatural beings and New Humans, they even chose a more courageous and intelligent leader for themselves.
During this period, they had observed many candidates before finally choosing Qing Zhen and obtaining Qing Zhen's DNA samples.
The Pyro Company had fought against many people before. But it was only when they faced Qing Zhen that they felt a sense of helplessness. It was as though Qing Zhen had already thought ahead of all their plans.
This would be crazy to a normal person, but the chief scientists of the Pyro Company were not normal people to begin with.
They were not creating thugs and an army for themselves, but creating their own leader!
Luo Lan narrowed his eyes. "Then what are you trying to tell us?"
If Ren Xiaosu could kill Chen Liu 'er for Chen Wudi, then Luo Lan could similarly go on a killing spree for Qing Zhen to eliminate any potential threats.
But at this moment, Qing Shen suddenly explained with a smile, "Don't worry. It's like this. In order for me to get closer to Qing Zhen, the Pyro Company collected all the relevant information about him for me to learn from. They hoped I could become someone like Qing Zhen one day. But there were still people in the Pyro Company who disagreed with this. Some of them were unwilling to hand over their authority to a clone like me, so I was placed under house arrest here by that group of people. The 11 people who died outside were actually here to save me. "
"What are you trying to say?" Luo Lan frowned in puzzlement.
"Take me to the Kyung Clan," Qing Shen said in a serious tone.
Luo Lan asked, "Why?"
"Because Qing Zhen and I both know what the Kyung Clan will face in the future. He needs me to carry out his plan." Qing Shen said, "In the process of studying Qing Zhen, I always realize I'm just a clone. I want to surpass Qing Zhen, but I can't do it. Slowly, I started to admire him. Sometimes, I even feel that I might be able to help him complete his plan. Perhaps that's why I was born. Take me to him. He'll plan everything. "
