Chapter 352: Clones
So we stayed in the submarine for two days, and the professor came to me satisfied, and said, "Thirty-two, we have arrived." β
I knew that the distance was not that far, and the professor must have used this time to investigate our details, but now he didn't seem to find anything, and he smiled and said, "Professor, this place is really far enough, and it took two days and two nights to walk." β
"Hehe, thirty-two, I'm sorry, I mainly have something else to do, so I'm delaying a little time."
After speaking, the professor continued, "It must be stuffy these days, come and follow me quickly." β
Soon I followed the professor out of the submarine, as soon as I probed the scorching sun, I couldn't open my eyes, I closed my eyes for a moment to get used to it, and saw that there was an endless desert in front of me, next to a dilapidated jeep parked, and in the driver's seat sat a black man wiping his pistol with his legs crossed.
The professor didn't say anything to him, and the man quickly drove the broken jeep to bring up dust all the way on the bumpy road, and the professor couldn't sit still: "Damn, Rupee, can you drive Lao Tzu slower, are you trying to kill me?" β
Ruby grinned at the professor with his big white teeth and slowed down, "Excuse me, Professor, don't you need to be in a hurry?" β
The professor glanced at him: "Please Rupee, last time the coast guard chased after you, you drove like an ant, I really don't know how you learned to drive." β
Ruby smiled and turned on the tape recorder: "Okay, Professor, you're right about everything, you listen to the song first." β
"Whew!"
The professor breathed a sigh of relief and lit a cigarette and inhaled it, while I was less idle, vigilant and observer of the terrain around me, preparing for a successful escape in the future.
But after a long time, the desert was still a desert, but then the car stopped, and the professor squeezed out a smile and said, "Okay, the thirty-second, we have arrived." β
I unconsciously wiped the pistol into my pocket, because I thought the professor wanted to kill us here, but the professor didn't notice my anomaly, got out of the car and walked straight into the distance, and turned back for a moment: "Let's go thirty-two, we need to walk for a while." β
I realized that I was wrong to blame him, and I breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, come on, I'm just a little sick from the car." β
The professor began to count the rupees again, and said that if it weren't for the chief's face, he would have been fired, and I said that it was my own physical cause that had nothing to do with the rupee, and then the rupee smiled at me and showed his snow-white teeth.
Later, we walked along the desert road for about half an hour before we saw a lush forest farm with a small river winding into the distance.
Pointing to the road below, the professor said, "This place turns into a river during the rainy season, and it only takes on its current appearance when there is a drought." β
I suddenly realized that the road had been in vain, and the professor smiled and said, "We also set up our base here to avoid humanitarian condemnation, and you know that those people are annoying, and they don't know that scientific progress has always been based on human contributions." They think they can unravel all the truth by just writing on a piece of paper! Wow, it's naΓ―ve, ridiculous! β
I don't deny what the professor said, because the modern surgery we enjoy now has evolved through ancient bloody scenes. Therefore, modern people who are in a worry-free situation should cherish the progress of the present and strive to explore the future, instead of thinking about it and only thinking about the original food and color.
Otherwise, we will eventually be eliminated by time, because we are really degraded, and without the support of developed technology, we really can't escape any disaster brought by the earth, just like that powerful dinosaur tribe, leaving behind just a bunch of fossils.
Even if the sun goes out and the earth dies, there will be other life that will continue to sprout elsewhere. But knowledge is gone, technology is regressive, everything is starting anew, so in the end, only those who are constantly improving can control and change this tragedy, otherwise we are just a flash in the pan in the vast universe.
Soon we stepped on the green grass and walked through the rows of trees into an old two-story house, which was not very small and just wrapped in trees, and the walls were covered with creepers, and we didn't know there were houses from a distance.
Rupee's jeep stopped at the door and he saw us open the security door: "Hello we meet again." β
I followed the professor in, there was nothing special here, just dormitories with numbers on the milky white doors, and the professor's assistant pushed open the door of number 19 and said, "This is your home, this is the key." β
I took the keys and tossed my luggage on the bed, which felt a bit like a fancy hotel, except for the worn-out desktop computer on the desk.
The professor pointed to the computer and said, "No Internet, you know that the principle of confidentiality mentions that if you want to check the information, you can go to my office, and my assistant will help you solve these difficulties." β
Once again, I noticed the professor's assistant, who was still dignified and didn't say anything superfluous, but I knew she was a dead person, a puppet who had lost her consciousness.
The professor thought that I was greedy for beauty again, and ordered his assistant to call more puppeteers, who were tall and pretty, but whose eyes were missing a little light, and which looked a little sleepy.
"Thirty-two, take your pick, but each person can only pick a maximum of two." The professor said.
I shook my head: "No, you see that I'm here with my girlfriend, she's going to be upset." β
The professor glanced at Zhang Qian and smiled: "Okay thirty-two, you are very special, you know that you are the first to bring your girlfriend to our base." β
I also smiled and asked him if he wouldn't allow it, and the professor shook his head: "No, of course you can, but your girlfriend can't enter the base with you, she needs to wait here for your arrival, I'm just worried that she'll be bored and scared if she stays here alone." β
Zhang Qian said that you don't need to worry about this, and I then asked: "Are these corpse puppets also developed by us?" β
The professor denied, "No, we're just paying for it to have fun, you know they don't talk nonsense, they don't have to eat, it's a good fit for our work." β
After speaking, the professor reminded again: "By the way, thirty-two, there is a weird guy living next door to you, you had better be quiet at night, otherwise you will anger him, and I am afraid that it will not be good for your girlfriend." β
For the sake of safety, I cautiously asked, "He is also from our research group?" β
The professor nodded, and I asked if I could kill him, and the professor smiled, "Of course, but I don't think you're his opponent." β
