"Ms. Ada, you have to understand. Anke Group was once a large company with a market value of more than 2 billion US dollars. Even if we are no better than before, we definitely can't win it with 50 million."
"Okay, 60 million. This is the final bottom line. You know? For us, it doesn't matter which company we acquire. My next stop is Aikang Biotechnology. 60 million is because I don't want to make another trip. The bid will not be higher, Mr. Anko."
"I had a condition attached. I needed a position in the management of the company."
"You are still the CEO, Mr. Anke. No one is driving you away, but the company's research direction is determined by the headquarters."
"make a deal."
Anke Bio's change of business has caused certain waves in the industry. After all, no one would think that someone would take over this biological research institute that is on the verge of bankruptcy.
At Teslak headquarters, Dr. Roderick received the news immediately.
“Isn’t this company bankrupt yet?”
"Yes, not only is it not bankrupt. A few hours ago, an Asian acquired it. The other party seems to have strong financial resources, but the specific projects it will carry out are still unknown."
"Then go and ask."
……………………
Anke Bio.
"We have complete genetic engineering equipment here. All are cutting-edge. In addition, there are 60 x gene samples in reserve. But they have not been used for a long time. We have recently been trying to treat patients with gene-carrying diseases. , to carry out a kind of genetic repair work. And some progress has been made."
"Starting today, cancel all your projects. Let's just do one project?"
"We have put a lot of effort into that project and have achieved certain results. Now give up..."
"Dr. Bill, your bonus deduction this month is normal."
"...I understand. I will cancel all projects immediately. But the human enhancement project must use the X gene. In view of the current public opinion and political environment, we have no sales at all. Even the military does not dare to support it. us."
"Who said that the X gene must be used to strengthen the human body." Ada handed a tube of serum refined from perfect blood to Dr. Bill. In the previous world, they eventually recovered Alexander Corvinus and resumed the complete extraction process of the Perfect Serum.
One benefit of the perfect serum is that it will repair some damage and subtle defects in the human body's genes. But it won't have a greater impact. Does not turn the x gene into dominant. It will not cause any genetic mutations. This is pretty standard 'human' enhancement engineering.
"Make this the top secret of the research center. No one is allowed to leave this laboratory with serum. Remember I have warned you. The security of the entire laboratory has been taken over by the new boss. Believe me, you won't You’ll want to see their true side.”
Shen Yi did not stay at Anke Biotech for long. He left everything to Ada. Ada has done this kind of thing countless times, so she is very familiar with it. Subsequent teams have also arrived one after another and began to take over the security work of Anke Biotechnology.
Shen Yi led a small team and was tracking another target. x23, to be precise, it was the nurse who escaped with x23.
Humans are complex creatures. In a high-pressure environment, his twisted and dark side often appears. Such is the case with the Alkali Research Center. This laboratory is cold, twisted, and ruthless. It is just a policy to cater to the local government and solve the employment problem. Alkali employs many locals as employees.
Most of them are Mexicans and Indians with little culture. Here, handymen are usually responsible for cleaning, cooking, etc. Most of these women are uneducated and have no idea what is being studied in the laboratory. Just doing a simple job to support the family.
Gabriel is an outlier. As a Mexican, her life in the United States is naturally not very good. But she still has a higher education than most cleaners. At least she went to high school. Her simple and limited biological knowledge made her realize that this laboratory was engaged in some bad research.
There are many children in the lab. In fact, all the test subjects were children. Gabriel often saw those children being forced to have their blood drawn and subjected to various experiments that they did not like. The scariest thing is that many children will suddenly disappear. They were told that the children had been transferred to other laboratories.
In fact, even the cleaners can guess what is going on. But no one says anything, they work here. The cleaners didn't want to lose their leisurely jobs.
Gabriel treated these kids differently than the others. She has no children of her own. And these young children without parents gave her a special feeling. Although the person in charge of the laboratory told them that these children were just clones and had no parents. But for Gabriel, what child is without a parent?
She was able to remember the time each child showed up in the lab. And think of it as that child’s birthday. She would buy birthday cakes for her children’s birthdays. Teach them songs and tell them about the outside world. Maybe she didn't even think about it, but unconsciously, she regarded every child as her own.
However, all this was eventually forced to stop. Xanderes, the head of the laboratory. In Gabriel's heart, he was a cold, ruthless demon king with no humanity at all. All the children who disappeared did so under his instructions. Gabriel had heard him described. It calls that act destruction.
'Destroy', God. He turned killing those children into destruction. Gabriel still remembers the cold and chilling words the other party said when he stopped him from celebrating his children's birthdays.
"Don't be so nice to them, don't buy them cakes, celebrate their birthdays. They are not children, let alone your children. These things are just tools. Tools that will be destroyed soon. You should save your meager salary. , make plans for your future.”
Gabriel didn't understand what kind of person could say such a thing. She didn't know what the other person had gone through to end up like this. But she knew she had to do something.
She is a divorced cleaner with no resources or connections. But she thought of those children. They are special, and they are the only ones with the ability to resist in this cold prison.
Perhaps he never thought that one of these cleaners would unite a group of children to resist him. The lab guard was careless. Under the surprise attack of the group of super teenagers, they were quickly defeated. They actually escaped.
Gabriel knew Laura was different. So she chose to leave alone with Laura to find help. Others are moving toward the border. They agreed to meet at the border.
Gabriel is just a janitor with a high school degree. She doesn't have any special experience. Not an agent, not a soldier, not even a Boy Scout. But she followed her heart and resisted. The largest armed group in the world has rebelled against the public opinion of the entire world.
Laura on the side pulled his sleeve, waking Gabriel up from his memories.
"Are you hungry? Stay here and I'll get you something to eat. Do you still remember our agreement?"
"Run." Laura responded briefly.
"Very good, I'll be right back."
But when Brielle opened the motel door, standing outside was a face that gave her nightmares. Donald Pierce, Alkali's field supervisor. It is also the responsibility of hunting down those children who escaped.
"Laura, run..."
