Chapter 19: The Jones Man Changed Tactics
"I have some ideas!" The daughter has finally opened up, and Samantha naturally wants to encourage her. However, she was also afraid that her daughter would just get carried away on a whim, so she had to set some questions for her to see how she answered: "So, let's stick to the dungeon, and we will give up on those earth boys outside?" ”
"Those people don't give up and say," Self-grounded for half a month, Eve obviously thought a lot, so she replied without hesitation: "As far as the current situation is concerned, IVF has basically failed, and the only Eve proves that natural pregnancy may be effective." But since this is the only case, we have to try again to see if it really works. We now have two adult boys, Qin Haoyang and Xiang Yunlong, and we can start experiments with them as soon as possible. ”
"I think Eve's words make sense," said Jones Moon, "and it will take seventeen or eight years for this experiment to be seen whether it will be effective, so it should be started as soon as possible." ”
"Okay, let's start as soon as possible," Samantha thought about it for a long time, and finally made up her mind: "In this case, Moon you arrange for the army to move, and no longer go out of the city to fight the earthlings, just hold the dungeon." Let's wait for Yi Shulan's injury to heal here, and start opening the gap of Qin Haoyang first. ”
"Do you have to wait for Yi Shulan's injury to heal?" Eve asked.
"What else do you think, say it!"
"No, no! Mom, just do what you want! Anyway, if we choose to stick to the dungeon and not fight, there is time. But ......" Eve looked at Samantha and said, "I will participate in the whole experiment of this experiment, is it okay?" ”
Samantha looked at Eve, and Beta had told her that Eve had been studying this knowledge for a while, so she agreed: "Yes, you can participate in the whole process!" Now you go, I have some things to discuss with your Aunt Moon. ”
Eve said hello to Jones Moon and left happily, but Samantha frowned and looked preoccupied. Jones Moon saw Samantha's solemn expression, a little strange.
"I said what's wrong with you?" Jones Moon asked, "Eve is starting to be sensible, what are you worried about?" ”
"Have you noticed that Eve looks like a person today?"
"Like whom?" Jones Moon smiled and said, "I think she looks like you a lot, and it's getting more and more like." ”
Samantha shook her head: "You see her like that, she has been very excited, I have ever been like this?" ”
"Excited?" Jones Moon looked down for a moment and said, "You mean she looks like an earthling, like that...... Traverser? ”
"Yes," said Samantha, "we Jones people are sane and calm, and we don't have the excitement she has today......
"It seems a bit ...... for you to say that" Jones Moon thought for a moment and said, "Eve is the child of you and the time-traveler, and some characteristics of two people are normal!" I don't think that's a bad thing, the time-traveler is smart, you know. Eve combines the best of you and him, and that should be a good thing. Isn't it true that we are modifying ourselves to gain more genetic strengths? ”
"I don't know if that's a strength...... Look again! Samantha reservations. She didn't really like the way Eve was showing today, she felt very emotional. For Samantha, emotionality is a rather negative trait, and it can sometimes lead to trouble.
"Too much, Samantha," Jones Moon disagreed, "The Traveler does sometimes act very emotional, but more often than not, he is so clear and organized that we always suffer from him. A lot of what he did left us in trouble, and he suffered until we took the dungeon. If Eve had these qualities in him, it wouldn't have done us any harm. ”
Samantha didn't say anything more, but there was always a faint uneasiness in her heart.
Jones Moon redeployed his troops, and the soldiers were overjoyed to hear that they no longer had to go out of the city to kill the earthlings. In the encirclement and suppression of the jungle, because they were afraid of killing the earth boys, they could not use too powerful weapons, and they were often hung and beaten by the earthlings, and they had long been resentful and cowardly. Now I don't have to fight for my life, so I'm naturally very happy.
"Thank you, Commander!"
"Don't thank me," Jones Moon said, "This is Miss Eve's suggestion, and the Governor has taken it." ”
At this moment, Eve's prestige among the Jones people has really risen a step. Now wherever she went, the Jones people saw her with respect, and completely regarded her as the Governor of the Reserve.
"See, Eve is very popular!" Jones Moon said to Samantha, "Your worries are unnecessary! ”
"I hope so......" Samantha finally breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm really tired, I hope she can take over soon." ”
Eve is indeed very capable, and now no matter what she does, there are many people who echo her. Wherever she went, she would always be followed by a group of supporters, almost a call for a hundred promises. It's strange that she enjoys this feeling of being embraced.
"Mom, when are you going to start?"
"In a few days," replied Samantha, "why are you in such a hurry?" ”
"I'm not waiting, Mom!" Eve is in a high mood these days, and she can see that she is in a good mood: "Don't forget, I will be an adult at the age of twenty, and I may not be like you, I can live three or five hundred years without cloning, can I not be in a hurry!" ”
Samantha was speechless, and Eve told the truth, not shying away from her fateful shortcomings. Samantha appreciates this, but at the same time regrets it. If natural pregnancy does produce healthy Jones children, most of them will only live for seventy or eighty years, like Eve, and then they will have to rely on cloning technology to continue their lives. This shortening lifespan seems to be impossible to change, and in the future, Jones people can only live the same days as earthlings.
"I'd like to see Ishland again," Samantha asked Eve, "Are you going?" ”
"Go! I'll go with you! ”
"The injury is almost healed, right?" Somehow, Samantha suddenly felt that she should go and see Yi Shulan. She saw that Yi Shulan's face had begun to turn rosy, and she knew that her injuries were almost healed: "I'm sorry, the soldiers beat you like this." ”
"No!" Yi Shulan didn't seem to appreciate it: "I killed so many of you, it should be." ”
"Your marksmanship is really good, every shot is not missing, how long have you been practicing?" Eve asked.
"Talent, my mom and my grandmother are both sharpshooters."
Samantha's gaze lingered on Yi Shulan's face. She hadn't seen Yi Ru, but she had seen Yi Qianya. Genes are really strange, although there is a generation between Yi Shulan and Yi Qianya, but from Yi Shulan, Samantha still sees a little trace of Yi Qianya. Especially Yi Shulan's frank answer, there was a trace of coldness and arrogance in her attitude, like Yi Qianya in her impression.
"Your grandmother and I used to be friends......
"I know, you saved my grandmother!" Yi Shulan said very calmly: "She was secretly poisoned and almost died, but you saved her." ”
"It seems that you all know ......" Samantha sighed, this is a real emotion: "It's a pity that we have to be enemies......"
Yi Shulan didn't answer, she felt disdainful of answering. The Jones wanted to occupy the earth, and they also used the earthlings as a backup gene pool, which was when the earthlings were forced to resist. If my grandmother was alive, she would have chosen to fight.
Samantha also felt that there was nothing more to say. Since it is an enemy, everyone wants to live, and you have to live to the death in order to survive, but it is also a matter of course.
Standing on their own standpoints, no one is wrong, and the result is that it is impossible to say who is right and who is wrong.
There was nothing more to say, and Samantha and Eve were about to leave when Ishulan spoke.
"What are you going to do with me?"
"It's up to your brother," Samantha said, "and his attitude will determine your life or death." ”
"Very frank!" The corners of Yi Shulan's mouth curled slightly, as if there was a hint of a smile: "You plan to use me to blackmail Qin Haoyang and force him to comply, I'm afraid you will be disappointed." ”
"You mean, he doesn't care if you live or die?" Samantha asked, "Are you sure?" ”
"Sure!" Yi Shulan said: "It's like I don't care about his life or death!" ”
"Okay! Then we'll see! Samantha smiled. Judging from what Eve said about Qin Haoyang's performance after knowing that Yi Shulan was arrested, Samantha felt that Qin Haoyang would definitely give in in order to prevent Yi Shulan from dying: "I can even make a bet with you." ”
"How to bet?"
"How to bet?" Samantha thought for a moment and said, "If he doesn't give in, I'll spare you from death!" ”
After Samantha finished speaking, she went out with Eve. When she saw Yi Shulan, Samantha was still a little compassionate, and she still had some friendship with Yi Shulan's grandmother Yi Qianya after all. But when she thought that Yi Shulan had disturbed their peace in one winter and killed so many of them, she felt that she should kill Yi Shulan. So she deliberately made a reverse bet, so that Yi Shulan would die.
"Mom, how are you going to make this bet with her?" The two walked a few steps, and Eve couldn't help but ask.
"What, do you think Qin Haoyang won't give in?" Samantha asked rhetorically, "Didn't you say that they have a deep relationship between sister and brother?" ”
"I don't know," said Eve, "I don't think you need to bet with her!" ”
"Bet and gamble," Samantha was a little regretful when Eve said this: "I believe Qin Haoyang can't stand it!" ”
Samantha didn't expect that Eve's worries were fulfilled. A few days later, when she told Qin Haoyang that if he refused to give in and obediently listened to her arrangement, Yi Shulan would die, and he would die a miserable death, Qin Haoyang just smiled coldly.
"I didn't expect you to be so ruthless!" Samantha was extremely surprised: "You don't care about your sister's life or death?" ”
"How could I not care?" Qin Haoyang sneered: "But do I care if it's useful?" Our sister and brother have each killed many of you, and you want to break our sister and brother into pieces. Besides, you Jones people have never been trustworthy, I just promised to listen to you, my sister will still die, why should I do more? ”
Zhen Zhen said, and took the opportunity to damage the Jones people, and Samantha's nose was crooked.
"Believe it or not, I killed your sister and ate meat!"
"Whatever!" Qin Haoyang still sneered: "You killed my sister to eat meat, don't forget to leave me a piece." In that way, our brother and sister will really become one! ”
