Chapter 220: Catching a Turtle in an Urn (Medium)

Zhilu told the ins and outs of the whole thing, but Chu Tianjiang didn't feel the slightest sense of ease.

The X-Warrior project was not a military project, but a biomedical research project to find a cure for cancer. Because the human genome had not yet been mapped, Professor Nicholas, who led the project, adopted the most primitive method. This is to let some sperm and eggs that have been exposed to radiation and have mutated DNA form fertilized eggs, and select the ones with the strongest ability to resist cancer to develop into embryos. Nicholas originally planned to end there, analyzing the DNA of the embryo to find out the anti-cancer factors, but Stephanie, who assisted him in the experiment, thought that it was necessary to go one step further and let the embryo develop into a human, and volunteered to become a mother.

It can be said that this is a very crazy scientific experiment.

The project was forced to terminate for a period of time because of the alleged alteration of human genes, and for the next ten years, it was only carried out in secret.

It wasn't until three years ago, when Williams found Nicholas and Stephani, that the project was relaunched.

The X-Warrior project was officially launched.

Since then, the grievances between Williams, Nicholas and Stephani have not been able to be explained in a few words.

Although two years ago, with the appearance of the 2014X1 asteroid, for the common future of mankind, the three of them worked together again to jointly promote the X-Warrior project, but in general, Nicholas has always opposed the large-scale application of the scientific research results of the X-Warrior project, while Stephanie only cares about the X-Warrior project itself, and Williams's purpose is to use the scientific research results of the X-Warrior project to change the face of all mankind.

This disagreement caused the three to go their separate ways.

Because Williams was in charge of all secret scientific research projects in the United States and decided on the allocation of funds, Stephani preferred Williams. In order to fight Williams, Nicholas had to rely on Stephanie, and he had to trust and rely on Stephanie.

Thinking of this, Chu Tianjiang couldn't help but sigh. If Nicholas hadn't put absolute trust in Stephanie, it wouldn't be where it is now.

"What are you going to do?"

"Take Rachel out of here."

Melanie was stunned for a moment and said, "Where can you take them, and can you heal them?" ”

"I don't know the way, but you also know the way, they can't be X-soldiers."

"Even so, their lives will not be in danger until the concoction is over."

"I know that it was Stephani who wanted them to live, because only by keeping them alive would Stephani have the capital to bargain with me."

"You're saying it's you that Stephani wants to deal with?"

Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "The last question, why do you want to stand on Nicholas's side instead of helping Stephanie?" ”

"Need a reason?"

"Absolutely. If you choose Stephanie, then with your current position, not only will you not be in danger, but you can be reused. On the contrary, if you help Nicholas in secret, not only will you not get the slightest benefit, but you may also invite death at any time. ”

Melanie smiled reluctantly and said, "Do you think I'm afraid of death?" ”

"No one is not afraid of death, the key is to see if it is worthwhile."

"What would you think if I told you that I only had a few months left in my life?"

Chu Tianjiang's brows jumped a few times, looking a little puzzled.

"If you already know my life experience, you should know that there are many defects in my body, and they are all genetically related defects. I don't hold a grudge against Nicholas and Stephanie, I wouldn't be here without them, but I can't let this happen to everyone. What Williams is doing now is turning all normal people into me. As soon as the DNA virus spreads out, the DNA of the infected person mutates and can only survive for a few months at most. ”

"You're going to die, and you care about that?"

Melanie smiled wryly. "You're right, I have no reason to care about the life and death of strangers, or even the survival of the entire human race, because in the strict sense of the word, I am not a human being at all, at least not a normal person, but there are people in this world who are worthy of my care."

"Natasha?"

Melanie nodded and said, "She's not like me, she made up for her genetic defects when she was concocted into an X-Warrior. Although I don't know what the specific situation of her is, she must have lived more than a month, and she has no reason to be buried in this world. ”

Chu Tianjiang sighed and said, "If you can help me rescue Rachel and the others, I promise you to do everything you can to stop Williams." ”

"It's too late."

"As long as it hasn't happened, it's too late."

Melanie shook her head with a wry smile and said: "There are more than 2,000 diffusion devices in total, and there are thousands in the United States, in addition to the United Kingdom, Western Europe, Latin America, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the African continent and South Asia, and the last batch has been sent to China, Russia, the Middle East, Northern Europe and Southeast Asia two days ago. Even if you can find some of them, you won't be able to find all of them. Experiments have proved that after the DNA virus infects the human body, there is an incubation period, which is now only known to be between four hours and one month, but a longer incubation period cannot be ruled out. In addition, DNA viruses are hereditary, that is, they can be passed on to offspring through their parents, and the DNA viruses carried by the offspring will mutate and become contagious, and they can be transmitted to others through bodily fluids. ”

"This ......"

"As long as there is a diffusion device activated, as long as there is a virus carrier with an incubation period that is too long, as long as there is a genetic offspring, humanity will be completely doomed."

"Then we'll have to stop Williams from activating the diffusion device."

"Unless you can kill Williams, but you can't kill Williams."

"In this world, there is no one I can't kill."

"Do you know where he is now? Even if he knew that there were five X-fighters by his side at any time, and they were the most powerful X-fighters besides Natasha. If danger is perceived, there will be more X-Fighters to protect him, and he will definitely go into hiding. ”

Chu Tianjiang rubbed his forehead, Warrior X is not a problem, the key is to find Williams. "Do you know where he's hiding?"

"I don't know the way, even Stephani doesn't know the way."

"When will the diffusion device be activated?"

"When extraterrestrial civilizations invade Earth."

"How much longer?"

Melanie shook her head and said, "You'd better ask Luo Jinyong this question." ”

"This ......"

"It was he who proposed that the moon is the forward base of extraterrestrial civilizations, and we have confirmed this, so he should know when extraterrestrial civilizations will launch an invasion."

"It's a pity that he's gone insane."

"What?" Melanie's eyes immediately widened, and she looked at Chu Tianjiang in disbelief.

"It's all our negligence, but the culprit is Williams." Chu Tianjiang sighed and told Luo Jinyong about his mental breakdown.

After hearing this, Melanie's expression became ugly.

"Anyway, I'll find Williams."

"The world is so big, and his whereabouts are secretive, even if you can use the resources of the Military Intelligence Bureau, you may not be able to find him in time." Melanie paused slightly and said, "Without Luo Jinyong, even if you get rid of Williams, how can you resist the invading extraterrestrial civilization." Mr. Yan, I know it's not appropriate to say this now, but you have to learn to give up. I can help you get Rachel and the others out of the city, but you have to promise one thing. ”

"Take Natasha out of the United States?"

Melanie nodded and said, "This world is destined to suffer a catastrophe, since we can't change the fate of the entire human race, we can only try to change our own fate. The United States is the hardest hit area, and the information you have has is likely to help your country avoid this disaster. If the spread device hidden in China can be found in time, at least in the short term, China will not be threatened by the DNA virus. ”

"Even then, it's just a matter of survival."

"You got all the source material for Project X, and the DNA virus came from Project X. Leave this information to the scientists, and in time you will surely be able to develop antibodies to DNA viruses that will save your country and the entire Anthropocene. ”

"It would take years, even decades, and you think we'll be able to hold out for that long?"

Melanie was silent, this was indeed a problem.

"But it's not time for despair yet."

"Is there another way?"

"The key is still Williams." Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "Although it is difficult to find him, it is easy for him to find me. ”

"What!?" Melanie was startled and looked at Chu Tianjiang in disbelief.

"What would Williams do if he knew that I was alive, if he knew that I was here, and if I knew that I had superpowers like Warrior X?"

"You...... You can't do this. ”

"This is the only way to see Williams and kill him in time!"

"But it's too dangerous."

"There is a great deal of danger, and there is a lot of gain. Besides, I have absolute confidence in my own strength, let alone five, even if all the X-fighters are here, they can't help me. Chu Tianjiang smiled and said, "I'm afraid you don't know, just this morning, Stephanie set a trap to ambush me, not only did not catch me, but also let me escape with Nichol, and even Natasha couldn't catch me." ”

"Natasha?"

"After the other X-fighters gave up, she still chased me for more than a hundred kilometers before I got rid of me, but I was carrying Nicol on my back."

"Well, if you fail, you'll at least be able to escape."

"Now, you're going to do two things. One is to take me to the Modulation Center, and it's better to send me to the Modulation Room, so that I can meet Rachel and them. And then you go and do the second thing, which is to get a DNA virus sample. If I had to flee, the virus samples would allow our scientists to develop antibodies faster. ”

"Wait a little longer, the concoction will last a long time, and Stephani won't stay in the modulation center all the time. When the initial sensitive period has passed, she will leave the modulation center. ”

Chu Tianjiang nodded and didn't say anything more.
