121: When you stare into the abyss, the abyss is also staring at you

In the Qin Family, there was a high-tech sterile room.

Staff members wearing sterile suits did not dare to relax for even a moment.

Xu Jingzhe lay on a concave alloy bed, his broken body enveloped by Moon Soil Evolution Fluid; the blue liquid flowed with a luster, dotted like Stars, dreamlike and illusory.

His body was connected to numerous data cables, and the numbers on the instruments flickered from time to time.

Outside the door.

Qin Shuang, Bai Binger, Zheng Peng, and Yang Shuang were all present, and the four of them did not speak.

Bai Binger held Qin Shuang and gently patted her back; she knew that Qin Shuang had developed genuine feelings for Lu Fei.

Indeed, who could not be moved by such an outstanding, almost perfect boy?

Just then, the door to the sterile room opened, and a staff member came out, removing her transparent headgear to reveal the face of a mature, elegant woman.

"Sister Tao, Lu Fei, he..."

"It's hard to say." Qin Tao shook her head and said, "His injuries are too severe, and his cells have almost withered. He must have triggered his potential several times during this great battle, leaving behind hidden wounds."

"As for whether he can recover to his original strength, it depends on how much Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid he can absorb."

"However, don't worry, there is no danger to his life."

Qin Tao patted Qin Shuang's head, smiled at her, and hurried away.

In Qin Wushuang's room, he leaned back against his chair, smoking a specially supplied cigar, his eyes closed, lost in thought.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

"Come in."

Qin Tao was wearing a white shirt and a tight-fitting skirt, holding a blue folder in her hands.

"Uncle Wushuang," she called out.

"Hmm. What's the verdict?" Qin Wushuang asked.

Qin Tao looked at the dense numbers and obscure symbols in her hand that were difficult for ordinary people to understand, thought for a long time, and said, "No... no different from an ordinary person."

Qin Wushuang did not speak, waiting for Qin Tao to continue.

After a long while, he still didn't hear her speak.

He opened his tiger-like eyes and asked suspiciously, "That's it?"

"According to various data comparisons, his blood is the same as that of an ordinary person. Traces of reinforcement from Moon Soil Evolution Fluid were detected in his cells, and his bone age is indeed sixteen, which matches the name Lu Fei from Shang City."

Qin Tao brushed the stray hair from her forehead and continued, "His DNA sequence is also incomplete, with no abnormalities."

"Has the source of life, the semen, been extracted?" Qin Wushuang asked again.

"Uncle Wushuang, this is bad news; his sperm cannot make women pregnant!"

"Therefore, we cannot secretly try to cultivate his child to analyze data from it."

Qin Wushuang tapped the table with his right hand in a rhythmic manner. How could this be? Such an outstanding person, yet his data in all aspects was mediocre; it was too abnormal!

Could it be that his genes were modified by a top family while he was still an embryo?

But how could it be modified without leaving a single trace?

On Blue Star, no family could achieve that.

Qin Tao looked at Qin Wushuang, her red lips parting several times as if she wanted to say something but held back.

"Speak up. We are all family; there's no need to hide anything," Qin Wushuang said.

"Uncle Wushuang, Su City's technology is, after all, still behind Adam City and Eve City. In restoring the complete human DNA sequence, they have always been ahead of us."

"Have you ever thought that the breathing techniques inherited from the Old Arts, breathing and exhaling while facing the morning sun every day, might also be a path to restoring the DNA sequence?"

Qin Wushuang stared fixedly at Qin Tao, his gaze deep; in the depths of his eyes, it was magnificent and spectacular, as if countless skyscrapers were collapsing and being rebuilt, over and over again.

"If there's nothing else, you may leave."

"Continue to pay attention to and analyze all the data on Lu Fei." Qin Wushuang sank his whole body into the sofa, the light on his face flickering.

In the morning, the Wang Family sent people to deliver five jin of Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid. Coincidentally, Li Xiu also arrived with five jin of Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid.

The Li Family was ultimately willing to take the gamble; the past cannot be changed, but the future can.

Since it was a gamble, one had to put up capital. If they didn't show something when Xu Jingzhe was seriously injured and dying, in case Xu Jingzhe survived, all previous efforts would be in vain.

As for him and Qin Shuang, there was nothing set in stone yet, so what was the point of worrying?

In the sterile technology room, Xu Jingzhe lay quietly.

To allow the absorber to better absorb the Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid, auxiliary liquids were usually added. Yesterday, five jin of Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid had been diluted, and fifty jin of liquid had been poured onto the alloy bed; some still remained.

The remaining part was what had not been absorbed.

Qin Tao, wearing a protective suit, frowned slightly, holding a data sheet in her hand, staring intently at Xu Jingzhe, feeling both confused and shocked.

What shocked her was that the Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid absorption rate of the man in front of her was an astonishing 80%, only 10% lower than an ordinary person's first absorption of Moon Soil Evolution Fluid.

Traces of Moon Soil Evolution Fluid usage had been detected in his cells, so could it be that antibodies had not yet been produced?

What puzzled her was that he had absorbed a full five jin of Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid.

With so much energy and such a high absorption rate, how could he still not be awake?

Could it be... that he was faking it to trick them out of Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid? As this thought arose, Qin Tao immediately shook her head; it was too absurd. On the instruments, Lu Fei's consciousness was truly in a coma, and there was no fluctuation in his brain waves at all.

However, after all, this was only the first data monitoring, so it didn't have much reference value.

She waved her hand, and two staff members beside her took out the five jin of Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid that the Wang Family had given as an apology, and diluted it again to fifty jin. They cleaned up the residue on the alloy bed, packed it into a special bag, sealed it, and took it away.

After pouring the fifty jin of liquid back onto the alloy bed, Qin Tao led the staff away.

In a hall of the Qin Family, Qin Wushuang stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the distant undulating mountains and the crashing waves.

"Dad, there are only ten days left until the competition... Can we change the participant at the last minute?" Qin Shuang asked.

"Today, the top brass of the Alliance officially issued a golden document. As long as a contestant has signed up, there is no reason they can withdraw from the competition, unless... they are officially dead."

"The various families outside are already in an uproar, expressing their dissatisfaction one after another."

"You also have no retreat. Strengthen yourselves, combine with technology, and not only must you survive in the Pollution Zone, but you must also hunt as many pollution cores as possible."

"The higher the age of the pollution core, the higher the value, and the greater your hope of winning."

"Uncle Qin." The red-haired Zheng Peng stood up and asked respectfully, "Can we... obtain pollution cores from other teams?"

He phrased this very euphemistically; the direct meaning was whether he could kill people and seize their property.

"Setting the competition location in the Pollution Zone this time has already explained everything. There are no laws, no constraints; you are free."

"But don't forget, while you treat others as prey, others will also treat you as prey. When you gaze into the abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Who is the prey and who is the hunter will only be known when the competition ends."
