Chapter 757 The clone at the end
There were all sorts of doubts about Chen Liu’er and Li Shentan’s clone. Most importantly, nobody could understand why the Pyro Company did not implement cloning on a large scale even though they had the means to awaken the superpowers of their superhumans’ clones.
After hearing Luo Lan’s doubts, Li Shentan said with a smile, “There’s no point in wondering about that now. We might as well continue heading downstairs. I feel that the answer is probably waiting for us up ahead.” With that, Li Shentan led the way forward. Li Shentan and the others who were acquainted with Ren Xiaosu had formed a small clique naturally.
Regardless of where the others might be from, Luo Lan and Zhou Qi subconsciously chose to stick with them. With their connection to Ren Xiaosu, at least they could be sure that no one would sabotage one another in this group.
Li Shentan looked at Yang Xiaojin and said, “Y’know, I’ve had quite a hand in your reunion no matter what you think. Can you tell me what happened after you chased him down?” At first, Yang Xiaojin thought Li Shentan was going to say something serious. But after all that talk, he was actually trying to ask about some gossip. But Yang Xiaojin realized Luo Lan’s and the others’ eyes were shimmering. It looked like they were also very interested in hearing about it.
Zhou Yingxue, who was standing off to the side, said disdainfully, “Why is a group of men trying to poke their noses into my master and madam’s private matters?”
Luo Lan felt jealous. Why couldn’t he have a maidservant like her too?
Li Shentan realized the clones in the basement level were seemingly the only ones, and they were not even fully developed yet. Logically speaking, there should be more secrets hidden in this building. When they walked to the end of the basement, two alloy doors on the ground in front of them suddenly opened and revealed a staircase leading down. Luo Lan and the others looked at each other. The doors opening at this moment made it feel like someone was waiting for them to step into a trap.
However, Li Shentan nonchalantly walked down the stairs. “There’s nothing to be afraid of. If the Pyro Company really had any more strength to kill us, they would probably have already done so.”
When Luo Lan and the others saw Li Shentan walking down, they also braced themselves and followed right behind.
After the incident with the birthing chambers, Vanilla’s group had fallen to the back of the group. They thought that even if there were any further danger, it would be Li Shentan facing it first.
But when the Great Hoodwinker, who was the last person in Luo Lan’s group, stepped into the stairway, the alloy doors on the ground closed again.
That was to say, only Li Shentan, Si Liren, Yang Xiaojin, Luo Lan, Zhou Qi, Zhou Yingxue, and the Great Hoodwinker had entered this underground tunnel. The rest had been locked outside!
Luo Lan immediately panicked. “What the fuck? Are they trapping us in to destroy us?”
Li Shentan sighed and said, “You’re still in the mood to scold yourself at a time like this? You may insult yourself, but don’t drag us in with you.”
“Ahem, my bad.” Luo Lan said, “But why did they only lock just us in? This is obviously someone’s doing.”
After he uttered those words, lights on both sides of the staircase suddenly lit up. The technologically advanced walls and lights made them feel less threatened. At the end of the stairs, someone said, “Because only you can listen to what I’m about to say.”
Li Shentan’s interest was piqued. “I like this feeling of getting special treatment!”
Yang Xiaojin suddenly realized Luo Lan and Zhou Qi looked stunned.
They were stunned because the voice at the end of the stairs sounded so familiar!
This time, it was Luo Lan who walked to the front. He walked down the long stretch of steps and looked at the familiar young man in a white suit in front of him. “You’re my brother’s clone?”
