Chapter 71: Artificial Experiment

TianXing city, in some research lab.

“Eve-C-19325. psychological response normal. No abnormalities with the 37 pairs of chromosomes. No rejection of Adam-01’s genes! IQ estimated to be at least 390. Super power currently unknown. Teacher! We did it!” A man who looked like a researcher excitedly looked at a culture pod. Inside was a 10 year old girl, about 1 meter and 3 centimeters tall. She had short hair that was a little long going just past her chin. Her bare naked body floated in the liquid, fast asleep. The little girl looked really similar to Ye Cang.

“Yeah, our research is finally successful! This is the beginning of a new age! Quickly notify the head!” The old man also had a look of rapture.

The creepy part was that not far away from them, a big hole was filled with newborns. The corpses of numerous children. They were the result of the many failures. Every child in the hole had the exact same face as the little girl in the pod.

At this moment the old man took out a communication device and suddenly felt like he couldn’t move his body. The researcher was floating in the air. Slash~ Slash~ Slash~ He was ripped apart piece by piece and scattered around the room. The little girl slowly opened her clear and sharp eyes. Her face was expressionless as she murmured: “Father…”

LinHai City, College City’s Night Market.

The originally gloomy Ye Cang’s heart suddenly trembled and he got up to look into the distance. He frowned, his brows wrinkling tightly. He slowly relaxed and murmured: “Perhaps I’m being oversensitive.”

“Bro, what’s up!?” Zhang ZhengXiong noticed and asked.

“Nothing…” Ye Cang shook his head and continued to chat with the others.

That night, in the quiet apartment, Ye Cang was tossing and turning, unable to sleep. He was recalling some old memories that he didn’t want to remember. A big fire, culture pod, research institution, a woman’s complaint, all those things that happened after QinXue’s death. Those memories he had tried so hard to forget.

“Failure! It’s a another failure! We failed again! Continue! We must achieve the fusion of Adam-01 and the alien life’s genes to create a new human! We’ll leave our mark on the evolution of mankind!”

“Doctor! Let’s stop! These children are too pitiful. This is already the 20000th failure. I can’t stand to see those children we personally bred being treated like this. Don’t tell me you don’t feel anything?”

“Forget that motherly instinct of yours, they are just experimental materials that will advance mankind. They should thank us for letting them come into the world and contributing to humanity.”

“Hah~ I got happy for nothing, I thought we succeeded! Turns out it’s just another defective one! It’s intelligence is insufficient, get rid of it.

“Sorry teacher, we must atone for our crimes.”

“You…”

The doctor fell unwillingly in front of the laser. The laboratory was set ablaze by the woman and the whole research institution burned. Ye Cang remembered her holding him, her guilty yet loving face.

“Sorry child, I also have to atone for what I’ve done. Farewell…” With a relieved smile, she gently pushed the cradle into the river. Then she turned and walked into the fire. In the flames, she turned her head to watch him drift gently down the river. His hair slowly turned white, and the burns on his body rapidly healed. She absentmindedly said: “Who would have thought that teacher’s final creation managed to successfully mutate. Child! Don’t grow up to hate! Survive, and live well…”

Everything was reduced to ashes under the flames.

Ye Cang slowly got up and arrived at the balcony. His eyes were full of sorrow. The fact he came about due to a human experiment, he couldn’t tell anyone. He reached out his hand grabbing towards the moon, and blocked it’s gentle light. Looking at his white hand, he quietly asked himself: “Am I a human? Really? Granny, QinXue, what am I?”
