Chapter 314: Exactly the same face
Although the entire 500 soldiers in a battalion were not much, each of them was an elite talent who had been selected by thousands of people, and it can be said that a battalion composed of these 500 soldiers was enough to be worth a regiment composed of 5,000 or 50,000 soldiers. The tacit cooperation and unstoppable strength of the first battalion are not only famous in Xuan City, but also famous in the entire Xuan City.
If butterflies want to create more perfect clones, and then gradually domesticate them to what they want to see, then they must select the most talented people from the crowd. In Xuan, most of the talented talents were concentrated in the first battalion, so Butterfly decided to harvest the lives of the soldiers in the first battalion.
Everyone's genes and DNA are completely different, for talented talents, his genes are one in a million excellent and powerful, but also the perfect nourishment for butterflies.
The underground palace of butterflies does not need nameless waste, let alone the ordinary people who can be seen everywhere, they need brave warriors with strong genes and excellent genes, and then create their ideal perfect team to protect this magnificent palace built underground.
The boundless darkness was reflected in the sparkling beautiful eyes, and Yun Luan felt the touch of the eyelashes flying up and down in his palm, and his tone was cold: "In other words, butterflies are not butterflies, they are just a criminal group composed of clones, but they have completely different thoughts and souls from the people whose genes have been extracted." β
She slowly lowered her face-hiding arm, and the pale golden light dispelled the boundless darkness, instantly lighting up Yun Luan's eyes: "Just like a carefully made puppet, except for the appearance of the skin and the people before it, it is very different in terms of temperament and other aspects. β
Hearing Yun Luan say this, Nan Zheng felt more and more like falling into an ice cave, and his bone marrow was filled with coldness, as if it was gradually melting ice water: "In this way, the deal between Butterfly and Zhang Tu was for the genes and hearts of all the soldiers in the first battalion back then, right." β
This is the tone of affirmation without the slightest doubt.
"That's right." Yun Luan tapped her jaw, she raised her eyes to look at the glass container in Nan Mo's hand, the heart was floating up and down in the formalin solution: "The law of Xuan Kingdom is strictly forbidden to use other people's genes to reproduce the existence of cloned human beings, and it is even more forbidden to use involuntary donation of hearts obtained from sources to do any experiments. β
Nan Zheng was silent for a moment after listening, his eyes were dim: "Yes, the laws of Xuan Kingdom strictly prohibit the production of clones, but these laws and regulations are just a bunch of black and white decorations for butterflies." At this point, he lowered his head and sighed, his tall and sturdy figure a little depressed.
"What you're saying is very true, it's just a bunch of black and white decorations, no, to be precise, it's just a pile of pale and weak waste." Yun Luan curled her pale red lips and sneered, even if someone dared to risk their lives to report the heinous crime of the butterfly, what could they do?
Don't forget, money makes the devil grind.
Today's society is so dirty and complicated, even if you maliciously drink and drive or kill a few people after taking drugs, as long as you have money, you can buy those unconscionable police officers and judges. In this way, no matter how resentful, angry, and miserable the families of the victims are, the perpetrators will not be harmed in the slightest.
On the contrary, as long as you have money, even if you are in prison, you can still eat and drink spicy food, live a leisurely life, and even as long as you go up and down, you can be released after sitting in prison for a few years at most. It was as if the lives of those who had been killed were as worthless as mustard.
Even if someone really dares to stand up and report the evil behavior of the butterfly, then the whole body will be involved, and Zhang Tu will inevitably be implicated under the excavation and tracking of various forces.
Like the dew stained on the petals of a flower in the morning, when the sun rises, it will quietly evaporate in the gilt golden beam, leaving no trace of the time it once lived.
Nan Zheng stared at the mocking smile on Yun Luan's lips, and was silent for a long time before he slowly asked, "Since you already know the truth behind the transaction between Butterfly and Zhang Tu, why did you stay still and still lie dormant in the barracks to investigate?" β
This is the most puzzling --- the most critical point for the Southern Expedition.
"The truth?" Yun Luan seemed to have heard something funny, and the smile on his lips further expanded and deepened: "Nanzheng, Nanzheng, should I say that you are innocent and innocent, or should I say that you pretend to be stupid?" She blinked her seductive eyes, and her tone was extremely soft and clear.
The military doctor Nan Mo stared at Nan Zheng expressionlessly, in his eyes, although Nan Zheng was extraordinary, calm and wise, but after all, he was just a hairy boy. The eldest son, who has been nurtured and protected by the family since childhood, is not as good as the winged eagle who is sharpened outside, otherwise he would not ask such a naΓ―ve question at all.
Is the deal between Butterfly and Zhang Tu really just for the hearts and genes of the soldiers?
The answer, of course--- no.
As they got closer and closer to the truth behind the matter, the clues collected by Yun Luan and the three of them became more and more shocking. The reason why butterflies were able to build such a magnificent nest under Xuan City, and had such high-end and advanced weapons, did not rely on more than just drug trafficking.
It is true that drug trafficking can make huge profits, but it is obviously very unrealistic to maintain the operation and development of the entire butterfly nest through drug trafficking alone. After all, research on weapons requires research funds, as well as the daily living expenses of countless butterfly members.
Therefore, butterflies must have other secret channels for obtaining wealth, and that secret channel is by no means simple, at least there is no superficial and seemingly simple drug trafficking.
In the process of fighting with the butterfly members back then, Yun Luan found that the opponent's weapons were simply superior to the modern level, and that kind of sophistication was definitely not something that today's Xuan Kingdom could manufacture and research, after all, in terms of science and technology, there were other great powers in the world that were far ahead of Xuan Guo.
For more than two years, Instructor Yun Luanluo and Nan Mo carefully searched and collected all the clues related to the incident of the first battalion that year, and they were shocked to find that the butterfly not only mastered the technology of cloning humans, but also unscrupulously produced and sold humans as commodities, which was simply inhumane.
Nan Zheng looked at the mocking smile on Yun Luan's lips, and suddenly felt ashamed of the question he asked, he lowered his head in embarrassment, and said in a dull voice: "I'm sorry, this question is too stupid for me to ask, please forgive me, but I don't have any malicious intent, please rest assured." β
"Of course Nanmo and I know that you don't have any malicious intent, otherwise you would have been erased by us a long time ago." Yun Luan took the glass container from Nan Mo's hand and looked at the fluctuating heart inside against the light: "Although Zhang Tu is a mediocre person, he is an ambitious wreck. β
She stared down at the heart soaked in formalin's solution, and her gaze gradually changed from the original tranquility and peace to the cold coldness: "Such an ambitious and wealthy wreck, but the most perfect puppet of the butterfly's ideals. β
Hearing Yun Luan say this, Nan Zheng frowned slightly: "But although Zhang Tu is a little incompetent, he is very good at using people's hearts, even if Butterfly wants to control the entire Xuan City through Zhang Tu, and even wants to control the entire Xuan Kingdom, but with the existence of these families, their ambitions are always just delusions." β
"Delusional?" Yun Luan Dai raised her eyebrows slightly, and put the glass container containing the heart in her hand close to Nan Zheng's eyes: "You open your eyes and see it clearly, this heart is the battalion commander in the first battalion back then, the heart of my comrades-in-arms, the butterfly has already obtained the hearts of other comrades-in-arms, and Zhang Tu has also received the huge benefits promised to him by the butterfly, do you think their ambition is still delusional?" β
Yun Luan sneered at this, and the laughter sounded extremely contemptuous, as if he was laughing at the stupidity and ignorance of the Southern Expedition. However, he can't blame Nan Zheng for anything, after all, he is not like Yun Luan and the others, who have come into contact with many unknown secret clues over time, so he is naturally puzzled and at a loss.
Nan Zheng raised his eyes and stared at the heart soaked in formalin solution up close, Yun Luan's words cut his face like a knife, making him feel ashamed: "...... I see, I understand, no wonder the first battalion of the year will be wiped out, in the final analysis, it is because of the word 'profit'. β
"There is not only one word 'profit', but also 'right'." Nanmo silently retracted the anesthetic hidden in his sleeve and added in a low voice.
Nan Zheng sighed slowly when he heard this, that's right, because of interests, human beings can become such an ugly existence. In the eyes of Butterfly and Zhang Tu, the lives of those 500 elite soldiers are no different from grass mustard grains of sand, and in their eyes, they only have power and wealth to enjoy the benefits they drive.
Before Nan Zheng could recover from his shock and disgust, Yun Luan immediately dropped a bombshell: "Nan Zheng, do you know what, many members of the butterfly, they all have exactly the same face. β
Nan Zheng suddenly raised his eyes and stared at Yun Luan's beautiful face, his gaze slowly scraped over the smooth and flawless skin and thrush like a sharp dagger: "You said that the members of the butterfly all have exactly the same face, how did you know?" In the course of the fugitive war? β
But that could never be possible!
If Yun Luan, Instructor Luo and Nan Mo happened to see the Butterfly members all having identical faces in the process of fleeing and fighting, then the leader of the Butterfly would inevitably talk secretly with Zhang Tu, and then join forces with Zhang Tu to dispose of Yun Luan and Instructor Luo at all costs, completely exterminating this potential hidden danger.
After all, the crime of reproducing genes to make clones is enough to make Butterfly and Zhang Tu in crisis and turmoil all the time, if such an incident is exposed one day, then the hard work of secret preparation between Butterfly and Zhang Tu for many years will not only be wasted, but will also fall short.
Therefore, during the escape and fighting that year, the members of the butterfly must have covered their heads and faces, so as not to leak their secrets after escaping.
As if seeing through Nan Zheng's thoughts, Yun Luan hooked the corners of his lips and smiled indifferently: "You are not wrong, the three of us really didn't know such a secret during the escape and war, but in the past two years, in the evidence we have searched, we have found clues about this secret." β
Yun Luan put the glass container in his hand on the desk, and the messy and tangled black hair was tied around his waist: "First of all, there were three people who escaped from the secret passage back then, me, Instructor Luo, and Nanmo. Although we have hidden Nanmo very well, if Zhang Tu and Butterfly find out that there is one more fish that has slipped through the net, then they will inevitably suspect me and Instructor Luo. β
"So, you created another Nanmer...... No, to be more precise, you created another Guo Yun, right? "How smart Nan Zheng is, he had vaguely guessed these things before, and now that they were confirmed by Yun Luan in person, he only felt that his entire heart was instantly wrapped in frost.
When the military doctor Nan Mo took out the brocade box and took out the glass container soaked in the heart for him to see, Nan Zheng vaguely sensed that he had guessed something, but that kind of conjecture made him dare not go deeper, because it was a terrifying truth that was enough to plunge the entire Xuan City into turmoil.
What is the need that makes butterflies have to collect the hearts of elite soldiers?
The obvious answer is to extract the gene and use it for other experiments.
But Nan Zheng was unwilling to guess like this, so he subconsciously avoided such a terrifying and absurd truth. Unexpectedly, such a terrifying and absurd truth really existed in Xuan City, and a magnificent underground palace was built underground, and Nanzheng was terrified for such a criminal gang for the first time.
For no other reason, because butterflies are developing so fast, just like their name 'Butterfly', they treat the whole city as a breeding forest, and the unborn cubs turn into cocoons and chrysalis to hide in the dark underground, and slowly build a huge and sophisticated nest over time.
How many butterflies can be produced in a forest?
Millions.
How many butterflies can a country bring?
Hundreds of millions.
Such a terrifying and shocking figure was undoubtedly very real, Nan Zheng was lost in thought with one hand on his forehead, and he stared gloomily at the floor tiles under his feet, which were covered with many dust and sand particles on the soles of his shoes.
After collecting the genetic DNA of a battalion of soldiers, Butterfly may have already reproduced many identical-looking dolls, using these dolls to become the most sophisticated and obedient weapons to guard the nest, and then driving the dolls to give them wealth and various positions of power.
In other words, the leader of the butterfly is the same as the queen bee. It drives the worker bees in the hive to go out and patrol, to work, and to use the huge profits they make from their work to run the entire hive. And those scientists, the experimenters are the drones used for life and reproduction, and their main job is to reproduce gene dolls.
Thinking like this, Nan Zheng only felt chills all over his body. Such a sophisticated nest is no less than a small country, not to mention the countless members of the butterfly, they are cruel and cunning distributed in all corners of Xuan City, quietly infiltrating the daily life of citizens, and are very good at camouflage.
"yes, it doesn't look like you're too stupid." Yun Luan heard Nan Zheng say this, and the smile on his lips softened slightly.
She lowered her gorgeous slender eyelashes like phoenix tail butterfly wings, and casually played with the long ink-colored hair around her waist, and her tone was a faint, subtle coldness: "Therefore, Instructor Luo and I secretly sent someone to find a corpse about the size of Nan Mo, and then faked it as a tragic death after being corroded and infected by a large area of sulfuric acid, and discarded the corpse in a forest closest to the dark passage. β
A corpse of similar size, and then faked as a tragic death after being infected by a large area of sulfuric acid...... Hearing Yun Luan say this, Nan Zheng's eyes flashed slightly.
Although this is a risky approach, if handled properly, it is not impossible to hide from the world. In addition, today's Nanmo is indeed corroded by sulfuric acid, so he has to undergo plastic surgery and repair, and basically no one can recognize him after changing his appearance.
What's more, a corpse that is about the same size as Nan Mo, and a large area of the body is heavily corroded by sulfuric acid? Thinking about this, Nan Zheng's opinion of Yunluan in his heart has changed completely, such a smart and unchaotic woman is really God's favorite favorite, and she is also a new star in his eyes.
"No wonder Zhang Tu and Butterfly didn't continue to track down Guo Yun's disappearance, it turned out that you had been prepared." Nan Zheng stared at Yun Luan's picturesque side face, although the other party understated this matter, the clouds were light and the wind was light, but you don't need to think about it to know what kind of hardships you have to go through, so that you can really hide from the world.
"Well, if we weren't fully prepared, the three of us would have disappeared from this world a long time ago." Yun Luan's eyes were slightly cold, and the slender jade fingers that were playing with the tips of his hair suddenly clenched: "But then again, Nan Zheng, aren't you curious at all why I want to tell you about this?" β
Yun Luan said as he turned his head with a smile instead of a smile, staring at Nan Zheng with a subtle and cold gaze. After Nan Mo put the glass container soaked in his heart back in place, he also looked at Nan Zheng with the same subtle and cold eyes, Yun Luan was not wrong in asking, Nan Zheng didn't wonder why after knowing this.
"To be honest, not curious, because I know why you're telling me." Nan Zheng's thin lips were slightly hooked, and his handsome and extraordinary face was impregnated with a faint smile.
