Chapter 248: Flames
Curiosity exists in the heart of every human being, whether rich or poor, disabled or able-bodied, and even if the memory is not there, it will not be erased.
So it was with Lincoln, and so it was with Jordan.
Jordan's curiosity was aroused when he saw several people in the elevator dressed in costumes that had never appeared in this world before, and his walk towards the studio slowed down.
Then, she saw an unbelievable scene: the patrol officers gathered outside the elevator for some unknown reason, all lying on the ground in an instant, not knowing whether they were dead or alive.
"Where's Merrick?" Qin Shao walked to Jordan, who was closest to him, and asked.
"Who are you?" There was apprehension and curiosity in Jordan's eyes.
"Guest!"
"My name is Jordan, Jordan 2-D, the clothes on you...... It's so pretty! Jordan stretched out his hand, first introducing himself, then enviously.
"Take us to Merrick's office and I'll give you one, how about it?" Qin Shao looked at Jordan's envious gaze and offered a price.
Everyone knows where Merrick's office is, and even if he doesn't reveal it, that person will know it from someone else. Rather than that, you might as well say it yourself, at least you can get a different outfit!
With a thought in his heart, Jordan led Qin Shao and his party towards Merrick's office.
"Are you from outside?" Jordan asked as he walked. And around her, because there is no patrol officer to control, a group of people are curiously following left and right.
"Outside...... Although you and I have different worldviews, it is not wrong to say that we are from the outside. Qin Shao replied.
Although he didn't understand Qin Shao's words, the four words "from the outside" were enough for Jordan to ignore these doubts and focus on the most important point: "Can you live and live outside?!" ”
The yearning for freedom is becoming more and more intense in a limited and confined space, and the existence of the Holy Island is not only an excuse for Merrick, but also the sustenance of these "non-humans" in Merrick's mouth!
Although he was a little bored with the clone around him who kept asking questions, Qin Shao still patiently narrated: "Green water and green mountains, blue sky, gentle breeze, picturesque scenery. ”
Jordan's eyes lit up all of a sudden: "Really!?" ”
Because of the education problem, Jordan did not have the slightest doubt about the words of humanity. And Qin Shao's few sentences of description are tantamount to opening the ultimate fantasy of beauty in Jordan's heart.
A beautiful world slowly took shape in her mind, although she couldn't see it really, but freedom and beauty had already come to her heart.
Looking at Jordan's expectant gaze, Qin Shao suddenly spoke: "I can take you there, if you want." ”
Since he decided to take this underground world under his control and use it to produce Western dragons, the clones that exist in this world have become more than something.
Then it might be a good idea to throw it into the ice and snow world.
"Good...... No, thank you, I'll consider what you said, the room in front is Dr. Merrick's office, and I still have a job, so I won't go in. ”
After the excitement, Jordan quickly noticed the difference between Qin Shao's words and his own inherent understanding: if the outside world is really safe, how can there be a steady stream of people rescued by the search and rescue team? If there is danger from the outside world, where do these people come from?
Obviously, one of these two parties is telling a lie!
Safe outside? Danger outside?
Either way, they all seem to have fallen into a whirlpool, and this whirlpool is something she can't resist alone!
Qin Shao took out a ladies' evening dress from the storage space, which he bought a long time ago when he accompanied Dongfang and Shao Siming and others to go shopping, because there was storage space, he kept it, and now he has a gift for others.
"What a beautiful outfit!" Jordan covered his mouth with a shocked expression. Because Nervin and the others were wearing coats, she didn't see the gorgeous clothes of Nervin and the others, otherwise, she wouldn't have thought like this.
"Squeak......
Jordan took the clothes and was just about to leave, when suddenly there was a squeak, the office door opened from the inside, and an impatient Merrick stood at the door, with his back to them in a gesture of please, and in the room, Lincoln was still smashing his mouth, looking unwilling to leave.
"Jordan, why are you here, and you still have these ...... Weird people? ”
Because he was facing the door, Lincoln saw Jordan, Qin Shao and others at the door at a glance, and couldn't help but cry out in confusion.
Jordan winked at Lincoln and motioned for him not to ask more questions and to leave. This is the language that the two of them have invented during the prolonged harassment of the patrol officers, and only the two of them can understand it.
Seeing Lincoln's expression was different, Merrick couldn't help but look back, but saw Jordan, who was having an affair with Lincoln, standing at the door, still holding a brightly colored dress in his hand. And around her, there is also a group of people who are clearly not guards or clones.
"You guys are the cause of the communication outage?" Merrick blurted out, and then remembered that there were still clones present, and immediately looked back at Lincoln, and said, "Lincoln, you go out, I have something to talk to these gentlemen and young ladies." Jordan, don't you have a job today? There's still time to mess around! ”
Lincoln, who had received Jordan's hints, had already thought of leaving, and at this time, he saw that Merrick was unusually blunt and had a blunt attitude, but he suddenly wanted to stay here and see how things unfolded. However, after weighing it repeatedly, he finally accepted Jordan's hint, and he believed that if he hadn't found something, Jordan wouldn't have asked him to leave the room quickly for no reason!
When Lincoln went out, Merrick greeted a few people, then closed the door and asked, "Who are you!?" This is private property, and even the president of the United States cannot enter without permission! ”
Qin Shao walked behind the desk without permission as if he had entered his own house, and sat down in Merrick's place: "It's a pity that we have already come in, and it seems that we have found something amazing!" ”
Now, Merrick has calmed down. He is not worried about the huge power, the bigger the power, the more worries, and the more chips he can exchange; And those individuals who are reckless and ignorant and alone are what he should worry about the most. At this point, the U.S. government arranged for him to hire the captain of the army, Albert, to cut off his personal hidden dangers.
If God had to let one of these two happen, Merrick hoped it would be the former. And judging from the superiority exuded by Qin Shao and the others, his hope was obviously fulfilled.
"Prolonging life is a luxury for every powerful person, and the president of the United States is no exception, and cloning can easily do this!"
Merrick pondered for a moment and continued, "Since you know the secrets of my company, then you must also know that there is a clone in this underground world that is exactly the same as the president. I think you should understand what this means! If you dare to disclose the slightest bit of information here, be prepared to withstand the wrath of the U.S. government! ”
Of course, Qin Shao knew that there was the involvement of the American management in this matter, how to say that he also controlled millions of troops, and he was a man of the hour in the court, not to mention the political attributes, but he still understood the interweaving of the most basic interests.
And what can prolong life in disguise, how can the handful of people who determine the discourse of the United States not control it?
He has reason to believe that in the future that the plot does not tell, after the underground world is exposed, Max Corporation will collapse, but he himself will definitely be fine, and another underground world will appear in a more secret way, in some dark corner of this world!
Those clones may be well settled, but the mercenary captains Albert, Lincoln, and Jordan will not be much better!
However, as an existence that dares to argue with the American empire and is even ready to subvert this world, will Qin Shao care about Merrick's threat?
The answer is no!
"I'm sure you're telling the truth, and maybe a little humble, but you also have to understand that the world is constantly changing. If you were still alive in this world, you would find that the United States would soon be overwhelmed by itself! ”
"Do you think I'm going to take your word for it?" Merrick looked like 'I believe you and I are two fools', and said: "There can indeed be forces in this world that make the United States take care of itself, but it will never be just one, but a combination of multiple forces." But without absolute interests, who will unite with the United States to the point where it can't even care about an ant? ”
Then Merrick's face changed slightly, as if he had thought of a situation, and said uncertainly: "Unless...... Unless it's an earth-shattering change within the United States! ”
"You're good to be able to react so quickly!" Qin Shao did not hesitate to praise himself, and said, "Those are a group of ambitious people with gold, silver, jewelry, and sharp weapons in the other, and they have in their hands things that can make the most loyal people fall for them, and there are treasures that can extend their lifespan more than clones. As long as they fall to them, they can gain more, do you think those capitalists who pursue profits will grow arrogant? ”
What kind of people the capitalists are, as the same kind of Merrick naturally knows. At the same time, he also realized that if the situation was as the man in front of him said, the United States would indeed take care of itself, especially if there were treasures that could extend more longevity.
"I have a doubt, in the face of the behemoth of the United States, my company is not even as good as ants. In this case, as a person who dares to stir up the storm in the United States, or the strength behind you, what does you like about me? ”
Qin Shao didn't hide it, and said, "Now your company is really not worthy of my attention. Although biotechnology is subtle, and artificial genetic control of animal generation has also achieved remarkable results, some special existences in nature, with your current technology, cannot replicate their essence and essence at all. ”
"If you can't afford it, then why ......" Merrick immediately asked, suppressing the nameless fire that burned wildly in his heart.
"But I'm looking forward to your future!"
Qin Shao interrupted Merrick's questioning and said, "I don't like your position, but in addition to the chairman of the company, you have another identity, a scientist. Every scientist who has achieved brilliant results is a madman, burning himself and others. Interests blind you, but the flame in your heart is never extinguished! ”
"You, who are burning with life, lose the motivation to move forward at a certain moment, and the flame dims. And now, you should ignite your life and burn it again! ”
"To replicate one of nature's most remarkable beings!"
