When Ai Lian said these words plainly, Xiao Yang stared at her mouth speechlessly, the glossy lip varnish perfectly decorated the haggard and peeled lips.
Since Ai Lian replaced the head of the 109 Research Institute, box after box of cash and gold were shipped into the vault, the stock market trend seemed to be on a rocket, and the salaries of the researchers ranged from 10,000 to 20,000 per month to one million per year , Subordinate cultivation bases quietly appeared in every corner of every country and city like cell division and proliferation, and Ailian's face frequently appeared in major international medical weekly magazines and financial news.
Following Ai Lian's side these years, Xiao Yang watched her move freely among the top businessmen in various countries, her manners were measured, her charming and flamboyant face was a heart that never stopped calculating.
An ambitious and powerful woman is more attractive than a burly man. Xiao Yang likes to stand in an inconspicuous place and look up at her.
The lighter flipped and made a sound, and then the smell of cigarettes drifted to Xiao Yang's side. Ai Lian held thin smoke between her fingers, her red lips moved slightly, and she exhaled lightly.
Ai Lian leaned against the streamlined white armchair, crossed one leg, and her black patent leather stilettos lightly bumped against the cabinet door just below the tabletop. She finally calmed down and let Xiao Yang come over.
Xiao Yang walked over, stood beside her, picked up the ashtray on the table and handed it to her, Ailian crushed the cigarette butt in it, and hooked his fingertips.
"Are you injured?" Ai Lian asked, gently lifted the hem of Xiao Yang's uniform, the wound was bandaged, but a little bleeding.
"It's okay, it's just two bullets, I'm wearing a bulletproof vest, it's not too serious."
"That's good. I did have a past with Lin Deng, but that is already in the past. He is very nice, gentle and considerate, and very talkative. Unfortunately, from the day he decided to betray me, we have no chance. We If the ideas are different, there will be no results together, but you are different, you understand my painstaking efforts."
Ailian took Xiao Yang's hand and asked him to sit on his chair, while she herself sat on Xiao Yang's lap. Although it was in this posture, the control was still firmly in Ailian's hands, and the blue rose pheromone felt oppressive. full.
"We should stop for the time being. The Lu family has joined forces with major business groups to sanction us. Yan Yi is about to leave for an international conference. The warden of the international prison has stepped down. The current international prison is full of people from the IOA. It is impossible to vote in our favour. The inventory of tannin is in a hurry, and the nutritional medicine cannot be produced in a short time. We can only sell some common experimental subjects at a lower price to realize cash, and then stop some cultivation equipment. There is still a chance to breathe, otherwise equipment maintenance and raising experimental subjects will be a huge expense."
As Xiao Yang said, he vaguely glanced at the necklace on Ai Lian's neck.
Aileen was wearing a suit jacket, a white shirt with a casually open neckline, and a cheap drop-shaped pendant on a platinum clavicle chain. The gift from the student days has been kept until now. It seems that this necklace was also given by Professor Lin Deng.
"Price reduction...impossible, this time the price has been reduced, and I can't bring it back later." Ai Lian hooked the necklace around her neck nonchalantly, pulled it lightly, and the platinum thin chain was broken together, and then the pendant was broken. Throw them together in the ashtray.
"Tell the major breeding bases to temporarily suspend the production of larvae, shut down the larvae training equipment, and then merge the existing experimental bodies in the breeding period into the largest breeding bases for centralized breeding." Ai Lian's tone was unhurried, and It's the same as usual.
She stood up, walked towards the elevator, scanned her irises by the scanner, and said something in a low voice, the voiceprint lock was released, the elevator door opened, Ailian walked in, and waved her hand for Xiao Yang to follow.
Xiao Yang looked at the necklace that had been ruthlessly thrown into the ashtray and covered by gray powder, sighed softly, and followed Ai Lian to the elevator.
After the elevator doors were closed, the fluorescent lights went out and turned into purple light for disinfection and sterilization. Two sets of chainmail-lined protective suits and masks protruded from the side of the elevator, and the manipulators dressed them neatly.
The elevator just descended to the bottom floor, and a notification sound came out: "Ding Dong, you have arrived: the cultivation area of the headquarters, warning, there are high-level mature experimental subjects placed in the cultivation area, please do not make noise, run and use noisy equipment."
After passing through several strong password doors, they entered the headquarters cultivation area.
Xiao Yang is very familiar with these places, this is where he usually works. The researchers who were working in their respective positions greeted them softly and returned to their respective positions to work.
The layout of the cultivation area of the entire headquarters is very similar to that of the library. Each incubator is placed side by side, and is divided into the larvae area, the experimental body area at the cultivation stage, the experimental body area at the mature stage, and the elite area (the mature experimental body above the fifth-level mature body is placed and glandular differentiation potential at M2 and above for other culture period subjects), the closest to the gate is the larvae area, and the incubators contain some cubs whose glandular characteristics are still obvious.
When Xiao Yang passed by, a seal experiment lightly patted the transparent plate of the incubator. The little guy was covered with a layer of snow-white fluff. He hadn't evolved human limbs yet, and he looked exactly like a seal cub.
Xiao Yang used his iris to unlock the incubator lock, took off his mask, carried the little seal out, and put his cheek against it.
The larvae that have been transformed by the experimental body have initially possessed a certain amount of intelligence and emotion, and when they see their trainers, they want to hug them very affectionately. However, this time has come, and this seal has not yet shown human characteristics, and even if it matures, there is a high probability that it will only be an experimental subject with a degree of mimicry of 1 or 0. Although its obedience is higher, its strength will be much worse than others.
Like the No. 809 experimental subject Kraken, this kind of experimental subject cultivated from animals will not be sold if the degree of mimicry is not high. Kraken has only sold for tens of millions, which is almost a loss compared with the cost of cultivation. sale price.
The little seal is very dependent on Xiao Yang, and dozes off when lying in his arms. Xiao Yang stroked the fluff on its body, then put it back into the incubator and locked it.
They passed many incubators along the way, and most of the cubs in them were very close to Xiao Yang. Every time Xiao Yang passed by one, he would hug and coax him, and gradually distanced himself from Ailian who was walking in the front.
Ailian walked forward without looking sideways, not interested in these larvae.
After passing the larva area, Xiao Yang took two quick steps to catch up with Ai Lian, and talked to him about his rescue measures.
"I suggest selling these larvae to the merchants we have cooperated with. They are not aggressive. They will not grow again after the supply of nutritional potions is stopped. It is a good choice to be a pet. Before the cost of cultivation has not increased, they can be sold at a low price. Recover part of the loss."
"How to ensure safety." Ailian asked flatly, "Those businessmen and nobles are very popular. If the experimental subjects bite their children at home, our reputation will be damaged even more."
"Trained larvae can't hurt people."
"Who will train?"
"Well... I can."
"You have your work to do. The current annual salary I give you is not for you to become a beast trainer." Ailian patted him on the shoulder and walked towards the elite area.
From the experimental body area at the mature stage, the incubators are placed in separate areas of single rooms, and the number, code name, glandular differentiation level, and experimental body level of each closed room are marked outside the door of each closed room.
The deeper you go, the higher the level of the experimental body. At the deepest point, the signs on the door of the room have begun to show super strong experimental bodies with differentiation level A3, mature body level 8 or even 9.
Ailian stopped in front of the last room.
The relocked door is marked:
Special Operations Weapons 200
Code Name: Immortal Dead
Gland differentiation level: A3
Subject Level: Deterioration Stage
After scanning the iris, Ailian entered a series of commands on the control panel. The front wall of the room, which was as strong as a wall, gradually became transparent until it became a glass-like material, and people could clearly see the situation inside from the outside.
In the room stood a thin alpha. He put a white sheet over his head, wrapped his body, and stood motionless on the ground, looking like a Halloween ghost. The machine running in the corner is connected to his body covered by the sheet through a hollow tube, and is continuously injecting syntropin into his body.
And beside him, there was a round pearl the size of a fist floating.
Ai Lian hooked her hand towards Xiao Yang: "What are you doing standing so far away, the incubator is strong enough, he can't get out."
It was not the first time Xiao Yang saw this experimental subject, but he never dared to get too close. This is the first experimental subject that has entered a period of deterioration but has not lost control since the experimental subject appeared in the world. Just because of the pearl suspended in the air, if this matter is made public, it will definitely shock the entire scientific community.
"That pearl...it's incredible." Xiao Yang said sincerely.
Ailian laughed: "This is an egg dissected from the body of the electric ghost. Really, he is really great."
"I've been thinking, since this pearl has the ability to control the experimental subjects in the deteriorating period, can it control the deteriorating angels?" Ailian calmly narrated her idea, "If it can be done, the IOA will not be enough for you. If we don’t fear, our current predicament will be easily solved.”
Xiao Yang shook his head: "You really want to take such a risk? Why don't you seek stability temporarily..."
"Don't be afraid, you should believe in its power." Ailian pressed the call button, and a burst of gentle music sounded in the closed room, awakening the immortal soul.
The immortal woke up, with the quilt still on his head, and his face could not be seen. He slowly stretched out a pair of young and pale hands, and took the pearls floating in the air into his hands.
Ai Lian said softly: "I have a task for you, do as I say."
"Okay." The voice of the immortal was very ethereal, and the voice echoed in every corner of the room.
"You're so good." Ailian praised, "Is there anything you want, I can satisfy you."
"Give me a tissue."
The immortal spirit slowly picked up the pearl and murmured, "I hope it won't cry."
—
When Ai Lian explained the task, Xiao Yang backed away from her with discernment. After waiting outside for about ten minutes, Ai Lian came out. After explaining the matter, it was almost time to leave.
On the way, the two began to discuss the next remedial measures.
"It is true that the production of larvae should be stopped." Xiao Yang thought for a while, "But it is unrealistic to shut down the larvae cultivation equipment in a short period of time. There are more than 200 larvae in the headquarters alone. If they are not sold as pets, I can't think of anything else. Appropriate methods can both recover the loss and solve the dilemma."
"The nutritional medicines for the experimental subjects in the cultivation period have been stopped, and the nutritional medicines in stock are tightly supplied to the experimental subjects in the elite area."
"Okay. As for the support of the experimental subjects in the cultivation stage and the normal mature stage..."
"Directly supply all the existing larvae to the experimental bodies in the mature stage as feed, and destroy all the experimental bodies in the cultivation stage, as well as those in the mature stage that are below level five and cannot be used as feed." Ai Lian said casually.
Xiao Yang paused and was stunned for a moment. Ai Lian's understatement directly determined the fate of billions of experimental subjects, and also determined the life and death of tens of thousands of experimental subjects.
Xiao Yang stopped by an incubator, and the baby seal inside was lying on the glass and barking, trying to attract Xiao Yang's attention so he could come and hug it.
"One time, how do you plan to destroy it." Xiao Yang asked after a while.
Ai Lian had already walked a few meters away. Hearing his question, she turned back and quickly pulled down the switch of the incubator where the seal experiment body was located.
"That's it." Ai Lian showed Xiao Yang a demonstration, turned around and left, and said coldly: "Didn't you invent the infection potion, use it."
The incubator stopped running, and the oxygen pump, nutrient pump, sterilizer and other instruments were all turned off for a while.
The lively seal experiment struggled from suffocation, and finally lay powerlessly on the bottom of the incubator without moving.
Xiao Yang raised his hand to support the closed glass of the incubator, and stood silently for a long time. Slowly, his body lost strength, his forehead pressed against the glass, and his Adam's apple moved slightly.
