After four days, they reached the middle age of Asgard. After a bumpy journey, they finally reached the heaven like city of the Divine Kingdom. After the four of them went through the report and the holiday at the Doomhammer's military office, Zero said goodbye to them for the time being and drove to an open area in the western suburbs of the city by himself. There was an abandoned factory, a small derelict power station, and two working dormitories.

This was originally a member of the Asgard's many food processing plants, owned by merchant Pross. But a year ago, when Proce was unable to repay his debt due to a large debt, he mortgaged it to Asgard. The factory had been empty until now because there was no reason to find the right person to take over. After learning that Zero was looking for an experimental site, under Ben's instructions, this factory was rented out to Zero at a very low price, and the required apparatus and related personnel were added to it.

At present, the factory is ready to be put into use after a simple renovation. People and equipment were arriving, and by the time Zero arrived, the last truck was leaving. He parked his car in front of the factory entrance in time to see Victor directing the workers to assemble the equipment. The doctor's radiant face was very different from the drunken face Zero had when he first met him.

”Move the trough a little, gentlemen, and be careful.”

”Damn it, why is there no electricity? As for the electricians, quickly turn on the power, all instruments must be tested for the first time! ”

Victor was shouting and shouting in the factory. The factory's contents had been remodeled and it had been established a cultivation area, an office, a machine room, a disinfection zone, and other areas of work. But cables of all colors were everywhere on the ground, and staff were careful not to trip over them as they walked. Even though it was messy, it made people feel busy and angry.

In addition to assisting Victor's techies, Asgard had also specially assigned a team of six guards to this lab. They were drawn from the city's security system, but the guards, the technicians, and the equipment had to be paid for every month. Thus, looking at this busy laboratory made him feel like he had just started a new career. At the same time, he knew that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier.

In this way, he was glad that he had time to make a trip to the Blue Ridge Mountain Range. Although it would take at least three months for Parkland's fiscal dividend to refund the first funds, it was a good start. However, in these three months, there were still a lot of things that Zero had to do. In addition to the fees to be paid for the scheme, a general account is to be opened for foreign exchange funds.

In addition to developing domestic demand, Asgard also had economic contacts with other cities in the wilderness. To that end, Asgaritel provided banking services. Therefore, the general account is not difficult to do, let zero headache is the income problem. Apart from the loan of the site, the collateral for the equipment, materials and the salary for the first quarter, there is not much left of the loan.

Even three months from now, when Parkland received his first bonus, it would not be enough to sustain the plan's later and mid-term needs. Therefore, Zero was currently very poor and was also in need of money.

As he quickly analyzed the situation, Victor finally noticed his arrival. The doctor called out his name, bringing Zero back to life. Victor strode forward and gave him a firm hug.

”I didn't expect such a city to exist in this world. Oh my god, this place is like a paradise.” Victor said excitedly.

While waiting for the others to leave Angry Reef City for the Blue Ridge Mountains, Zero applied to Asgard for Victor's temporary right of residence. Because Ben had said hello, the application was approved quickly, and on the third day an Asgard staff member came to pick up the doctor and take him away. Arriving at Asgard, the city of the Kingdom of God, Victor's shock was greater than the zero of the day.

Zero could understand how he felt. In Asgartree, people were like old times. The environment in which this city is trying to operate is something that no other city has. Victor liked it at first glance, and in fact, very few people left Asgard, and Victor was no exception. In response, Zero said that he could find a way to grant Victor the right to live permanently.

Victor was pleased to hear Zero's words and hoped that once he settled down, he would be able to move his wife's ashes here so that she could rest in heaven. The doctor's request was insignificant, so naturally, Zero had no reason to refuse. In fact, Zero had considered keeping Victor in Asgaritri for a long time. In addition to the rebirth plan, Victor could also become the team's personal doctor.

After the plan was completed, the laboratory could be maintained. In the future, the laboratory could be used to research and manufacture drugs. If Zero could get more resources, it could even research and produce genetic drugs. Originally, Zero was worried that Victor would not like to live here. Once the plan was successful, he would take his leave. Now, however, the problem was solved.

Next, Victor took a brief tour of the converted lab. When he arrived at the culture area, Zero saw that the culture tank had been set up and was in the process of disinfection. This was the core area of the laboratory. After Leah's blood had been separated and released with the various genes, it would then be combined and exported, eventually giving her a new life in the incubator.

The cloning techniques of the new era were already very advanced. As long as the gene samples were kept, they could construct a clone that was no different from a clone. As for the biochemical techniques of the Heroic Spirit Hall and the Dark Council, they could even clone capable people. The cloned esper was not different in personality, physique, or abilities, so it was regarded as another way to live forever.

However, the highest level cloning technique required an astonishing amount of resources. Hence, only people at the level of the main brain had the right to leave behind their own gene backups in case of need.

Naturally, this lab was unable to perform cloning at the highest level, but it was still possible to clone an ordinary girl like Leah.

He gently caressed the cold isolation cover and thought to himself: Leah, you'll wake up soon.

”Take your hands off the cover!”

Unexpectedly, a loud shout came from behind Zero, and it sounded very familiar. Zero looked back and saw Eva in her work clothes. The dangerous woman was biting a ballpoint pen and holding a folder in her hands. She walked in quickly and slapped away Zero's hand. ”You outsider, don't delay our work. If there's nothing else, please leave.”

Eve slammed Zero and Victor out of the training area. After sweeping them through the entrance and exit area, she shouted orders to the staff to set up the equipment. Her imposing manner made it seem as if the training ground was her home ground.

”This Miss Eva said she was your friend, and I've talked to her about it. She's really got an extraordinary level of skill in biochemistry, and she has a lot of ideas that I've never thought about before. ”So I invited her to join me, and she …” Victor asked Zero.

”She is my friend.”

Victor nodded in reassurance. However, he did not see the bitter smile on Zero's face. Eva was indeed his friend, only the one who was put in the wrong place, and the one who was at the highest level of trouble.

When he left the lab, Asgard's holographic board had already reflected the red glow of the evening sun. After saying goodbye to Victor, Zero drove away. The rebirth plan had been carried out step by step. Right now, all that Zero had to do was earn money. In the rearview mirror, the laboratory was a blur of shadows in the simulated sunset, but that was where the hope of zero lay.

What Zero did not know was that this small laboratory was the rudiment of the research institute that was responsible for biochemical research in the future of his kingdom!

It was nine o'clock in the evening when he lay down on his bed in Zero's room. Zero was lying down in his white pajamas in a relaxed posture. The so-called relaxation, is to let the body's 70% of the senses into a resting state, to make up for the long-term stress caused by the loss. This relaxation was a luxury for Zero. He recalled the days he had lived in the wilderness, when his body was resting even in a safe base, but his senses were still working to monitor the sudden dangers.
