Chapter 990 - A Blank Sheet of Paper (1/2)

Jiang Chen, of course, has seen him before. Even if he has turned into dust, Jiang Chen would still remember that face. The face linked to the brain that was floating in the culture tank…

And buried together with the Supreme.

“We meet again, Dr. Lin Minjie.” Looking at the man on the screen, Jiang Chen sighed with some emotion, took the coat from the open hibernation chamber, and covered the girl. “I thought you were already dead, I didn’t expect to see you alive.”

Although Dr. Lin Minjie was much younger than the last time Jiang Chen saw him in the underground fallout shelter in Wanghai, he still recognized him from certain distinct facial features. The girl lying in the hibernation chamber also put a complex expression on his face.

At the same time the screens lit up, Hu Cheng gestured and rushed forward with the soldiers in front of Jiang Chen.

As he passed Jiang Chen, he caught sight of the girl in the hibernation chamber with the corner of his eye. He was shocked, but he quickly made the decision to ignore what he saw and focused his attention on the man on the screen.

Although he didn’t know who the person was, his instincts told him the man doesn’t have the best relationship with the general.

“Lin Minjie? That is indeed my name.”

As if Lin Minjie didn’t see the rifles pointed at him, the man raised his head and looked at the non-existent ceiling and signed in nostalgia. “Allow me to correct one thing. It is debatable if I am alive or not.”

Debatable?

After hearing this sentence, Jiang Chen frowned and slowly lowered the rifle in his hand.

“Now that you are calmer. No matter what conflicts you have with that person, isn’t it pointless to be angry at a program?” Lin Minjie opened his hands with a helpless expression. “I was born in 2168, almost at the same time as the fallout shelter was completed. My personality and other features are based on the programmer who wrote me.”

“Can I ask a question?” Jiang Chen asked.

“Of course.” Lin Minjie slightly nodded, “answering your questions is the meaning of my existence.”

“Which level of artificial intelligence are you, basic? Intermediate? Or—”.

“Basic, of course.” Lin Minjie smiled. “For a commentator, thinking is just cumbersome.”

Jiang Chen was silent for a long time. Then, he sent an order to Hu Cheng through the communication channel.

“Wait for me outside.”

Hu Cheng hurriedly replied, “But—”.

“This is an order.” Jiang Chen used an irrefutable tone and stopped his attempt to persuade. “Wait for me in the elevator. Unless I order, don’t come in.”

For the Knights, the command of the general is absolute.

Although Hu Cheng was still concerned about the general’s safety, he couldn’t say more. He just reluctantly lowered his head and accepted the order.

“Roger…”

Raising his hand, he gestured to his soldiers in the squad and took them to the corridor leading to the elevator. Standing at the door, he hesitantly took one last look at Jiang Chen’s back before obeying his absolute order and retreating to the elevator.

After the footsteps gradually drifted away, Jiang Chen was silent for a moment before asking

“Tell me, what are you doing?”

“Leaving seeds for civilization.”

“These…clones, are what you call seeds?” Jiang Chen’s rifle moved to the side and pointed to the girl who was looking at him with innocent eyes. Then, he said emotionlessly, “or, is this some sort of sick experiment?”
