AGTCTCC Chapter 58

Chapter 58 Experiment Body Number 053 – Wu Xing…

The barrier energy produced by the Source Stone was gradually weakening. Outside the barrier, those disgusting things were constantly crawling, their mouthparts opening and closing.

They seemed to be ready at any moment to break through the barrier and crush everything they saw.

Xiang Li lowered his eyes, staring intently at the information in his hand, reading each word carefully.

Chu Qi saw this scene when he entered the room. His gaze shifted downward to the piece of paper Xiang Li was holding –

[Experiment Body Number 054]

Xiang Li wasn’t surprised to see Chu Qi. After all, this was Chu Qi’s room, it would be strange if he *wasn’t* here.

Xiang Li smiled and waved the paper in his hand at Upper School Chu, making a “rustling” sound as he crumpled it.

Chu Qi walked over, “took” the paper from Xiang Li’s hand, and lowered his eyes.

[Name: Wu Zhen

Age: 19

Gender: Male

Cultivation (Soil): Experiment Body Number 017 (successful grafting), Experiment Body Number 034 (successful cell regeneration DNA grafting), Experiment Body Number 040 (fiber, bone grafting successful)…]

[(Note in small print: Perfect gene chain fusion, Experiment Body Number 053 can be abandoned)]

[Physical Mutation/Regeneration Ability: Doubtful]

[Spiritual Power Ability: Linking to the spiritual sea/brain of living beings, temporarily marking the genes of living beings, controlling abilities, and bewilderment (others to be verified)]

If it were just this, Chu Qi wouldn’t have connected “Xiang Li” to “Wu Zhen”. The problem was that the photo in the upper left corner was Xiang Li’s face.

Xiang Li shamelessly wrapped his arm around Chu Qi’s waist from the side, resting his head on the Upper School’s shoulder.

Xiang Li: “Officer, were you shocked?”

He was asking about when Chu Qi first saw this paper.

Chu Qi’s expression didn’t change as he placed the paper on the desk, reaching out to push Xiang Li away: “I just thought at the time that the training schedule I made for you was too relaxed.”

Xiang Li also remembered the long-shelved schedule and felt sorry for his past self, complaining in a wronged tone.

“Hey, Officer, you’ll train people to death like this.”

Chu Qi coldly replied: “So it’s a good thing you can’t die, so I can train you to death.”

Xiang Li (felt like a bullet had hit his heart): “Such a cruel heart, Officer.”

He continued to shamelessly move closer. Chu Qi was already sitting at his desk, and the voting page that flashed by when he opened the light panel made Xiang Li raise his eyebrows slightly.

Xiang Li silently calculated the time in his mind.

“Officer, aren’t you going to vote yet? Do you want to give Wu Xing the management rights directly?”

Chu Qi paused at the question, looking up: “What do you think?”

Xiang Li: “?”

Xiang Li: “If you ask me, there’s nothing wrong with giving it to the Blue Faction.”

“Humans can barely protect themselves now. Not to mention us few, the polluted entities outside aren’t something humans alone can control.”

Chu Qi didn’t interrupt Xiang Li, signaling him to continue.

“In short, whoever gets hurt, you won’t.” Xiang Li’s tone changed, and he didn’t say more.

He was playing with the Dark Serpent in his hand, gently stroking the snake’s head with his fingertip, but his eyes were fixed on Chu Qi.

Chu Qi blinked, slowly shifting his gaze, continuing to stare at the screen in his hand.

Xiang Li’s throat bobbed as he cleared his throat, reaching out to grab the calligraphy practice thing that Chu Qi had placed on the desk, confidently waving his hand.

He wrote two words on the paper – Mu Mu.

Seeing this, Chu Qi took the pen, adding the remaining strokes with tacit understanding.

— Chu.

Xiang Li didn’t think Chu Qi had saved his handwriting at all, picking it up to admire it carefully.

Two seconds later, he added a “Meaning” (eye) next to the “Wood” (wood) radical of the Chu character.

Xiang Li tilted his head and smiled ingratiatingly: “Officer, we two are a match made in heaven.”

Chu Qi: “…”

At this moment, Shen Gui called Chu Qi.

Chu Qi: “How is it?”

In the screen, Shen Gui nodded, his gaze only falling on Xiang Li for a second before turning away and continuing.

“It’s about what you expected, the Source Stone base is almost exhausted, and all the Source Stones combined aren’t enough for us to last for much longer.”

Shen Gui: “The barrier can last for a month at most.”

Xiang Li wasn’t interested in their conversation, his eyes fixed on Shen Gui’s background.

Xiang Li: “Is Hill with you?”

Hearing this, Shen Gui nodded, aiming the camera at the surroundings.

Shen Gui looked at Hill, who was pondering a Source Stone on the screen, thought for two seconds, and decisively dragged him into the conversation.

“Polluted entities are things that possess Zerg genes. I remember the Zerg’s reproductive ability is pretty good. I wonder how many Zerg are around now…”

Hill, hearing the loud conspiracy about himself and his people, didn’t even look up.

His subordinates were recording Source Stone fluctuation data. After all, humans have been relying on this stuff to fight with them, to fight with polluted entities for so many years.

Xiang Li: “Actually, it’s okay if the Zerg don’t help. At most, only a few humans like Chu Qi will be left, and then Wu Xing and the others will compete for the Zerg’s territory.”

Hearing this, Hill couldn’t pretend not to hear.

He casually threw away the stone in his hand, taking off his gloves as he said, “How are your humans calculating the voting results?”

Shen Gui didn’t hide anything: “After a rough calculation, the difference isn’t big, basically even.”

Hill clapped his hands: “I suggest you give control to the Blue Faction.”

Shen Gui: “Reason.”

Hill felt bothered by having to explain this, stating bluntly.

“You don’t have the ability.”

Hill: “And Wu Xing doesn’t, at least overtly, won’t harm humans. (Except for that couple).”

Hearing this, Xiang Li remembered something.

“Didn’t you come to the Main Star for Qi Xiao and him? Why are you still letting these two do whatever they want in the Main Star, and you haven’t taken action yet?”

Hill reached out, and a scepter appeared out of thin air in his hand. His palm rested against the head of the scepter, and his fingers were slightly curled on the head of the scepter, his knuckles protruding.

Hill didn’t care: “Wu Xing promised me that he would hand them over to me for disposal.”

Xiang Li narrowed his eyes, seeming to be amused: “He said the same thing to me.”

Hill: “Hmm?”

Chu Qi glanced at him askance.

“What, did you two agree on something to scheme against me again?”

Xiang Li turned around and accused him: “How could that be, Officer? Don’t you trust me?”

Chu Qi just sized Xiang Li up and down, not saying anything. The other party spread his hands, adopting a “you can check me if you want” stance.

Hill felt disgusted, rolling his eyes.

“One for each of us, I want Ning Li An.”

Ning Li An was the main person in charge of the experiment, so it made sense that Hill wanted Ning Li An.

Xiang Li straightened his body, not giving either of them away.

“Ning Li An and Qi Xiao are both traitors from our Planet C079, so we should be the ones to deal with them.”

Xiang Li: “I’m going out for a while.”

He was about to leave after saying that, but he turned back after taking two steps, taking the paper and placing it in Chu Qi’s hand.

Instructing: “I’ll add the words when I get back.”

Then, as if stubbornly waiting for Chu Qi to nod, Chu Qi indulged him, nodding perfunctorily.

Chu Qi leaned against the table with his arms crossed. At this time, he had already cut off the video call with Shen Gui and the others, and it was just the two of them in the study.

Chu Qi: “I won’t see you off.”

Xiang Li frowned in a half-wronged manner: “I’m leaving.”

After taking a few steps, Xiang Li turned back again, instructing again: “You must wait for me to add these words, ah!”

Chu Qi looked at him amused, calling out to him.

Xiang Li looked puzzled, but his feet once again turned back to Chu Qi’s side: “?”

Chu Qi: “Do I need to put a leash on you and hang a sign on you?”

Xiang Li “hmph”-ed unhappily, reaching out to hook Chu Qi’s belt, looking up at Chu Qi.

“A kiss goodbye before I leave?”

……

Wu Xing was carrying a sack in one hand and picking up the scattered pieces of corpses on the ground with the other. Seeing Xiang Li walking over, the sack in his hand suddenly moved.

Wu Xing: “Do you need me for something?”

Xiang Li looked at the “Xue Hu Su fragments” all over the ground, getting straight to the point: “Remember the condition I promised you back then?”

Wu Xing: “Hand over Ning Li An and Qi Xiao to you.”

Xiang Li: “You said the same thing to Hill.”

Wu Xing was puzzled: “Can’t I?”

“I can divide the two of them into four people.” Under Xiang Li’s gaze, he slowly said, “If you really want them, I can divide them into six parts and give you four.”

Xiang Li: “…”

Wu Xing stretched out his hand, and a dragonfly landed on his fingertip, its wings fluttering gently.

He held it up for Xiang Li to see: “Do you like dragonflies?”

Xiang Li only glanced at it before looking away: “I don’t like them.”

Wu Xing withdrew his hand, muttering: “Then you hate them.”

“I really like dragonflies.”

Xiang Li: “Mm.”

“You are also an experiment body, but you don’t seem to hate Qi Xiao and the others.”

Wu Xing nodded: “Hate them for what? They can help me.”

Xiang Li continued to ask: “Do they know that you’re going to hand them over?”

Wu Xing: “Yes, it was their suggestion, and I think it’s great. They’re seriously considering things for me.”

“Humans should give way to me too.”

Hearing this familiar sentence again, Xiang Li asked again: “Is Fan Yuan Ying your person?”

Hearing this name, Wu Xing slowly blinked his eyes twice, and then under Xiang Li’s gaze, his whole person began to slowly transform.

— Fan Yuan Ying.

The “Fan Yuan Ying”-looking Wu Xing opened his mouth: “I am him.”

Xiang Li: “You are Experiment Body Number 053.”

Wu Xing nodded: “Yes, I am Number 053.”

Not only that, he continued.

“That day, I killed myself.”

Without Xiang Li asking, Wu Xing obediently told him everything himself.

“My ability is clones, a spiritual clone that’s exactly the same as myself.”

Hearing this, Xiang Li nodded: “Very similar to Old Yan’s ability.”

Wu Xing: “Old Yan, is that Number 067? He grafted my serum.”

After he finished speaking, he heard Xiang Li ask again: “So why did you kill Fan Yuan Ying’s body?”

Wu Xing: “Qi Xiao said, it’s called framing.”

Wu Xing: “Human interrogation methods are terrifying, and the Zerg King is difficult to deal with. This can let you guys fight first.”

Xiang Li: “Those lines were all Qi Xiao’s instructions.”

Wu Xing shook his head: “I also improvised some of them myself.”

Xiang Li stared at Wu Xing with a playful expression: “You’re just telling me everything?”

Wu Xing didn’t feel that there was anything wrong.

“We’re the same, Number 054.”

“Whether you know it or not, it doesn’t make much difference now.”

Wu Xing: “I don’t think you’re stupid either.”

Xiang Li lowered his eyes. The sack in Wu Xing’s hand was constantly stirring. He took out a glove from his pocket and picked up “Xue Hu Su” with Wu Xing.

While picking up the pieces, he chatted: “Then aren’t you afraid that Qi Xiao will scheme against you?”

Wu Xing carefully picked up the fragments.

“She’s very weak. She’s counting on me to heal Ning Li An.”

Xiang Li: “Can you do it?”

“I can’t.” Wu Xing opened the mouth of the sack, letting Xiang Li put the “Xue Hu Su” he picked up inside, his eyes staring at Xiang Li’s hand as if afraid he would hide something.

“I can create spiritual clones. The body has to rely on dragonflies.”

“The genes of the son they had are very interesting. You can use him to make a body for Ning Li An.”
