Chapter 135. Adam Project
Arc 5 : Wasteland World Movie Nightmare.
The two of them arrived at the house where they were staying, and Shen Heng put Du Yan on the sofa.
Shen Heng looked Du Yan up and down carefully, and after making sure that he was unharmed, he asked: “Why didn’t you come out as agreed?”
Du Yan looked at him and said with a guilty conscience: “I went to find them and talked to them.”
Shen Heng frowned and was about to teach this disobedient boy a lesson when he saw the other party curl his lips and pounce on him.
Du Yan hugged Shen Heng’s waist and rubbed his chest: “I’m unhappy and don’t want to stay here. Let’s go.”
“Leave?” Shen Heng was stunned: “What did you talk about with your parents?”
“They are not my parents. I…” Du Yan thought for a moment: “I don’t have any parents.”
Shen Heng raised his hand and ruffled Du Yan’s hair: “Don’t talk nonsense, there are parents everywhere. If these two people are not right, we will keep looking, there will always be clues.”
When Shen Heng said this, he even felt inexplicably relaxed.
When he was sitting on the edge of the building waiting for Du Yan, he suddenly remembered that when he and Du Yan first met, Du Yan said that he just wanted to see his parents, and after seeing them, he would go back obediently.
In fact, at the beginning, Shen Heng did intend to do as Du Yan said and send him back after meeting his parents at Homeland No. 5. After all, Du Yan’s importance can be said to be related to the future of the entire human race.
Even if Shen Heng wanted to keep Du Yan, his reason told him that he couldn’t.
At that time, he was sitting on the edge of the building, looking at the direction Du Yan left, and his mind unconsciously began to imagine the scene after he sent Du Yan away in Homeland No. 1.
Maybe it will be the same as now, he will feel cold all over, the difference is…
Shen Heng raised his hand and placed it on his chest with some hesitation. At that time, he and Du Yan would never see each other again.
Just thinking about this possibility, Shen Heng felt a pang of pain in his heart. In his values, he always believed that personal sacrifice was nothing for the survival of mankind.
However, the appearance of Du Yan made Shen Heng begin to doubt himself. Why did Du Yan have to shoulder such a heavy future and waste his whole life in that laboratory?
“Hey, what are you doing? You’re smiling weirdly.”
Shen Heng lowered his head and looked at Du Yan, who had just buried his head in his chest and refused to look up, looking extremely depressed. Now, he looked up at him with a somewhat embarrassed expression on his face.
“Your mood changes too quickly.” Shen Heng looked helplessly at Du Yan as he walked to the table and started to eat.
Du Yan said: “Didn’t you agree to accompany me to continue looking for clues? Why should I be sad? I haven’t eaten for a day, and I’m starving.”
Shen Heng finally figured it out. This little liar was just performing for him. He took the initiative to avoid being scolded by him. But now that things have come to this point, Shen Heng’s anger has already been completely vented. There is no point in putting on a stern face and teaching him a lesson.
Thinking of this, Shen Heng had no choice but to get up and heat up canned food for Du Yan. After he had filled his stomach, the two sat back on the sofa to discuss their future plans.
Shen Heng asked directly: “Did you get any clues from them and have a direction?”
“Hmm.” Du Yan nodded: “There’s a place, let’s go now.”
“So urgent?” Shen Heng was a little surprised: “You must be very tired today. Don’t you want to rest for a night before leaving?”
Du Yan said: “I don’t want to stay here anymore. It’s better to leave this annoying place as soon as possible.”
Although Shen Heng was somewhat confused, since Du Yan insisted, he no longer objected. He immediately packed up his supplies and drove the ‘behemoth’ away from Homeland No. 5.
Du Yan saw that Homeland No. 5 slowly disappeared from his sight, and his heart finally settled down. What he did in Homeland No. 5 was not that simple. If he didn’t leave early, he might be caught.
After Du Yan left the Du couple’s home, he went straight to the Fifth Research Institute. He arrived just before the institute started work, so Du Yan hid in a corner and waited for an opportunity to find a researcher who had high authority and was easy to control.
After Du Yan controlled the other party, he gave him an order to find information about the “Adam Project”.
Not long after, the researcher came out with the data. Of course, it is not so easy to carry the data from the research institute out, and the researcher memorized it in his mind.
After listening to it, Du Yan erased the relevant memories and let the man go.
In this kind of research institute, any information access will leave traces. After closing for the day, the research institute will check the records. Once it is discovered that the information of the “Adam Project” has been accessed by someone, it will quickly trace it back to that researcher.
After checking the surveillance equipment at the entrance of the institute, Du Yan’s appearance would soon be discovered. Although he deliberately wore a hoodie to cover his face, he could not hide it from the people of the First Research Institute.
The Fifth Research Institute would definitely inform the First Research Institute about the fact that the “Adam Project” was being accessed. In order to avoid trouble, Du Yan had to pack up and run away.
However, Shen Heng must not be informed of the fact that he sneaked into the research institute to check the data about the “Adam Project” for the time being. Shen Heng is a very principled person. Once he knows Du Yan’s destination and the truth of the “Adam Project”, he will not agree to take Du Yan to that place.
Du Yan leaned back in the vehicle and closed his eyes. He seemed to be sleeping, but in fact, he was thinking about what he had learned from the researcher today.
The self-improvement of the dream world really gave Du Yan a big surprise.
The “Adam Project” is the sequel to the “Eden Project”. When the nuclear war broke out, the “Eden Project” did not succeed, and all researchers involved in the project were forced to enter an underground shelter and hibernate in cryopods.
However, the person in charge of the project was a radical and almost crazy advocate of genetic modification technology. In the later stages of the experiment, he went so extreme as to use himself as a test subject and undergo genetic modification.
His transformation was very successful, and the experiment was only one step away from success, which was to absorb a large amount of radiation to induce evolutionary mutation.
However, the nuclear war had already broken out, and there was not enough time to carry out the subsequent experimental steps.
The person in charge took a gamble and somehow found out the next target of a nuclear weapon attack with a capacity of tens of millions of tons. He went alone to an underground research institute far from the target city and sealed himself in.
Two hundred years later, a small number of the original “Eden Project” research team members survived. According to the information left by the project leader, they sought help from the military base and went to the city razed to the ground by the nuclear bomb.
The action team found the small laboratory underground and discovered the well-preserved body of the person in charge soaked in nutrient solution. They were surprised to find that although the person in charge was brain dead, his body was still active.
The “Eden Project” was successful. The genes of the person in charge mutated and were able to purify radiation on their own and evolve into a higher level of life. After the genetic code was cracked, it was shown that he should have evolved some special abilities.
But the person was already dead, and it was unknown what kind of supernatural power he had.
In the information left by the person in charge, an experimental plan called “Adam Project” was initially conceived.
He knew that there was a high probability that he would not survive such a high intensity of radiation, but if the experiment was successful, the research team of the “Eden Project” could still start the next plan through his body preserved in nutrient solution.
The “Adam Project” is actually a cloning project, and the body of the person in charge is called “Original Adam”.
Du Yan can infer what will happen next by combining this information with the current situation in the First Research Institute.
Over the years, the “Adam Project” has never had a completely successful experiment. They have produced a group of clones, but there are always various problems, such as being unable to survive, being deformed, or having no intelligence like beasts.
However, all these clones have one characteristic, which is the ability to purify radiation by themselves. Based on the serum of these clones, the laboratory has developed anti-radiation drugs.
Du Yan is the only experiment that is close to success. He grew up smoothly, has no deformities, has normal intelligence, and can evolve and radiate on his own. The only shortcoming is that he has not evolved superpowers.
In fact, everyone in the First Research Institute was deceived by Du Yan. He has always been particularly sensitive to other people’s emotions. He can feel the coldness emanating from those researchers when they look at him, as if they are looking at a pile of data.
So Du Yan never revealed these things until two years ago, when he activated his superpowers. Du Yan was very aware of his situation and simply concealed his superpowers.
Du Yan knew that once the people in the research institute found that the experiment was successful, what awaited him would probably be endless crazy experiments, and he might even have to mate with female Infected to try to produce new humans.
His special ability is psychic. He can read other people’s emotions and even control their thoughts when their guard is down.
In short, when Du Yan wanted to deceive people, no one could see through him. He spent two years finding out the general situation of the First Research Institute and then controlled a researcher to release him.
After that, he met Shen Heng.
Du Yan opened his eyes, glanced at Shen Heng, who was concentrating on driving, and sighed in his heart. He had not yet figured out how to tell Shen Heng about these things, and the current plan was to find the body of the original Adam first.
Because of the original Adam’s special nature, no one dared to guarantee that he would not die in an accident during transportation, so he was left in the underground shelter.
Most of the few mecha troops of the Pure Ones are stationed there.
At this moment, the radio in the car started broadcasting news about the data leak and wanted order issued from the Fifth Research Institute, which was something Du Yan could have expected.
However, what he didn’t expect was what happened next.
“The murderer has been confirmed to be a researcher who escaped from the First Research Institute with important research results. After sneaking into the Homeland No. 5, he killed the external staff of the Fifth Research Institute, Du Wenping’s family of four. The dead include Du Wenping, male, 40 years old; Lu Xiufang, female, 37 years old; Du Boyu, male, 15 years old; Du Qianqian, female, 7 years old…”
