Those who can achieve brilliant achievements have many minds as hard as steel, and they will not be recruited by others.

As the founder of the Human Clone Project, Merrick almost single-handedly created a company that is now one of the top companies in the United States, and can also be regarded as a high-ranking and well-known. If he easily bows down at Qin Shao's feet, don't say that he himself, even Qin Shao, will look down on him!

In fact, although Qin Shao's words made people's blood boil, the treacherous and cunning Merrick did not have the slightest mood swing. At this moment, all he was thinking about was how to fight for enough benefits for himself under Qin Shao's step-by-step pressure!

Because he understood that when Qin Shao appeared in front of him, there were only two paths left in front of him: surrender, or death!

If he had been at the beginning of his blood thirty years ago, he would have chosen the latter without hesitation; Twenty years ago, when he had a grand ideal, he would have chosen the former without hesitation; When the company was founded 10 years ago, he would have hesitated between the two.

But now, Merrick is soberly aware that he is unwilling to die, but losing the power in his hands is no different from death!

Fortunately, he has learned his value from Qin Shao's mouth, and with the bargaining chips, he can neither die nor die.

"Human cloning is a means for me to make money, and only a lot of money can support my research. At the same time, using humans as research subjects is more than ten times better than other non-intelligent creatures. If you want me to join you and copy other creatures for you, it's not impossible, as long as you can provide a lot of money and keep this underworld intact, I'll work for you! ”

Every scientist's favorite existence, in addition to their family, is probably their experimental subject. What's more, the status of the latter is even higher than the former!

In his early years, because he was busy with research, Merrick never married and had children. In the early days of the company, he was even more eager to break one person into two, let alone find a girlfriend, even a woman, he may not be able to see him ten times a year. Now Merrick is alone, and all his sustenance is placed on this underground world and the "inhabitants" of the underground world.

It can be said that this "utopia", which only exists in the ideal, is his whole world!

He could give up everything, including his soul, for it!

"Funding is not a problem, using humans for experiments, no!"

Qin Shao agreed to Merrick's first condition, and also denied his second condition.

With three completely occupied worlds and four worlds with control authority, Qin Shao had no shortage of money based on gold and silver. And cloning humans as experimental subjects is very easy to cause panic and is not conducive to the rule, if it is not necessary, he will not choose to use humans for experiments.

"I don't want money, but I can't do without these residents. If I go back to the previous procedure of using animals as test subjects, the progress of research will definitely slow down, and even in my lifetime, I may not be able to break through that boundary! ”

Merrick argued that he had expected that his conditions would be denied, and that things did not turn out more than he expected. But humans are really the best research material, and he has plenty of reasons to insist on his own conditions.

Qin Shao looked like he knew this, waved his hand and said disdainfully: "Invest in my command, you don't have to worry about lifespan." If you achieve enough, I will even give you eternal life! ”

"As for the subject of the experiment, there are no highly intelligent beings in this world except for humans, but that does not mean that there are no other worlds. Evil creatures that are hostile to the Alliance are at your disposal! ”

Eternal life, other worlds, the amount of information contained in Qin Shao's words was a bit large, and Merrick was stunned for nearly a minute before he regained his senses. Now that Qin Shao had absolute control, there was no need to deceive himself, so he did not doubt Qin Shao's words. Because of this, he was stunned.

The long-formed understanding of the world and life made him scoff at things like eternal life, and the other world is even more nonsense!

How could Merrick not be in a trance when a sentence that wasn't a lie contained two impossible things?

"As a scientist, you should accept anything that is unacceptable, even if it upends your preconceived notions. Parallel worlds may be inappropriate, but they are the closest explanation. Qin Shao sat behind his desk and educated Merrick.

There is no doubt that Max is a talent, not as a capitalist, but as a scientist, for such a talent, Qin Shao does not want him to collapse after the collapse of his worldview and become a mortal.

"Even if I own a company with assets of hundreds of billions, I am still a biologist at nature, and I have dabbled in the mysteries of the universe and space, and the existence of parallel worlds has always been controversial. The infinite parallel world has been denied, and whether the finite parallel world has the existence of breaking the barriers of space and traveling to other worlds has always been the focus of controversy among those people. ”

As he paced around the office, trying to soothe himself, his mind kept coming back to his school days. Biology and cosmology are two systems that have little contact, but they are by no means unrelated. In order to solve a problem, he also audited several courses in cosmology, including parallel universes!

Therefore, he understands very well the power of those civilizations that can break the barriers of the universe!

"Honestly, I'd rather believe that you're from other galaxies in this universe than any other world, even if you look like Earth's humans!"

"But after all, it's not the earth humans of this world!" Qin Shao said.

Nervin walked up to Merrick with graceful steps, his hands raised, revealing his peerless face hidden under the hood, and his pointed ears.

"The elven race, the embodiment of beauty and wisdom, I don't think there should be such a race on the earth." Qin Shao looked at the cloned information stored in the desktop folder with great interest, and said without raising his head.

Of course, there are no elves on this earth, and other fantasy species such as elves only exist in people's fantasies. And if an elite creature is standing in front of her, there are two explanations: she is pretending; Or, she's not an Earth creature!

With the foreshadowing, Merrick leans towards the latter!

"In that case, what are you going to do with these clones, as well as the mysterious body that cannot be replicated with existing technology." Merrick asked. This sentence also shows that he has been persuaded by Qin Shao and has fallen to Qin Shao's side.

The United States was born in a short period of time, has no unique culture of its own, and even has weak national cohesion, and the mainstream of values is "interests first". After recognizing the reality, Merrick would not sacrifice his life because of the identity of Qin Shao and others as "non-earth creatures".

For Merrick, as long as he can continue his research, he doesn't care about his position!

"It's a danger that clones stay here, and I'll take them to other worlds. As for what creatures you want to copy, there will be special people to communicate with you, and I think it will definitely be more fun than cloning humans! ”

Qin Shao didn't stay long, and left Merrick's office after subduing him. And McCord, who was sneakily hiding behind the group, was left behind by Qin Shao and assigned him a task - to get rid of the hidden danger of Lincoln!

………

Ten minutes ago, in another part of this underground world, Jordan and Lincoln secretly got together to discuss and act about a series of strange events that happened today:

Jordan hugged the clothes given by Qin Shao and said, "Do you see the clothes in my hand?" ”

Lincoln eats: "See." ”

Jordan didn't hear the emotion in the other man's tone, and she paced down the hallway, thinking about details she hadn't noticed before: "Don't you think it's strange that we've never been given clothes other than white?" And where does the food we eat come from? Where do we get the unpolluted water we drink? ”

"The scenery outside our window seems to be constantly changing, but at a certain point it repeats the past, like a loop of videos of people who have been drawn to the Holy Island on the screen, and the place we live in stretches as far as the eye can see. But it feels like a big, big cage that traps us tightly! ”

Looking at Jordan, who was getting more and more excited the more he talked, Lincoln's expression became serious. He glanced at the patrol officers lying on the ground who didn't know whether they were alive or dead, and a hint of excitement appeared in his eyebrows: "Hey, I have a proposal, how about going outside and seeing?" ”

"The elevator is locked and cannot be operated. How do we get out? Jordan nodded approvingly, then frowned.

Lincoln smiled mysteriously: "I know a place, I should be able to get out!" ”

"Looks like you've been suspicious of this place for a long time." Jordan caught up with Lincoln, who was running ahead, "Those weakly protected areas are forbidden to us, you want to go there?" ”

Lincoln stretched out his right hand, revealing a key: "I know a friend in the maintenance department, and he has a lot of things in his hands that don't belong here, liquor, cigarettes, poker, all new names that I haven't heard of." ”

"I often go to him under the pretext of repairing computer chips, which is a contaminated area, but I have never seen them wearing gas masks. If there was a scam in the place where we live, I think that place should have the answer we wanted! By the way, how did you end up with that weird bunch of people? ”

Jordan said, "The man who looked like the leader asked me about Dr. Merrick's office and promised to give me a piece of clothing in return, and I liked his clothes, so I agreed. ”

"And on the way to the office, I learned from the man that the outside world was not polluted, which did not match what we knew. I don't know who's right and who's wrong, so I'll have to find out for myself. ”

"But I hope he's right."
