407: Human cloning

After Pan Han returned to the villa with the two women, Cheng Xiao immediately contacted Mr. Mo.

The other party's response was surprisingly prompt; they could send a plane immediately to pick up Ai Li.

However, the cost was extremely high; Mo Li directly demanded 2,000 cases of various canned goods and 10 tons of rice.

Pan Han agreed without a second thought, but added one more request: to go along with them.

Mo Li was silent for a few seconds, but ultimately agreed.

But Mo Li reminded him to arrange matters at home, as replicating a human body would take at least a week.

Pan Han used the time while waiting for the plane to arrange the action plan for the next few days.

The pilots had been training for a while, and it was time to test their combat effectiveness.

The other armored soldiers were also raring to go, all clamoring to attack.

So, Pan Han simply arranged the plan to attack the three surrounding states.

Qin Zhong, Asiba, and the third and fourth brothers led three separate teams to set out.

Cheng Xiao was in charge of the daily operations of Dawn Base, the second sister and Old Wu were in charge of the overall logistics for the battle, the fifth brother was in charge of intelligence and analysis for the three battlefronts, and the sixth brother served as the general reserve.

After the arrangements were made, each team went to prepare for their respective tasks.

Cheng Xiao found Pan Han and wanted to go with him, but was refused.

"Why?" Cheng Xiao asked with a puzzled look.

"The base needs someone. You are the most suitable."

"But if they need help over there, you're the only one, you won't be able to handle it."

"It shouldn't be a big problem. Besides, during this time, I might need to calm down for a few days and think about some things."

"Alright. Then take care of yourself. Bring Ai Li back early." Cheng Xiao said with eyes full of affection.

"Hmm. If everything goes smoothly and the craftsmanship of the Twelve Palaces hasn't declined, it should be fine. Don't worry!" Pan Han nodded. During this operation, he couldn't make decisions about many things and could only pin his hopes on the Twelve Palaces.

"Then I'll tidy up a bigger villa at home. Find a three-story one. When the time comes, the three of us sisters will each have a floor." Seeing Pan Han say this, Cheng Xiao had no choice but to give up and simply prepare for the work at the base.

"Okay! There's no budget limit this time, do it well!" When Pan Han heard this, he realized they really should get a larger residence, so he naturally agreed.

"Oh, right! When the time comes, ask Brother Mo if he can directly evolve Ai Li to the Intermediate Evolver level." Cheng Xiao slapped her forehead; she had almost forgotten the most important thing.

"Huh? Is that possible too?" Pan Han really hadn't thought of that.

"It should be possible. Anyway, Ellie is being re-replicated, and Brother Mo and the others have the Evolution Potion. It won't hurt to ask."

"That makes sense! Then I'll bring some more supplies for gifts."

"I've prepared fifty cartons of good cigarettes, ten cases of good wine, and a batch of chocolate and various candies for you." Cheng Xiao pointed to the large boxes behind her.

"You're still the thoughtful one. A home really can't function without a woman!"

"Forget it, a home really can't function without a man like you!"

The two talked about many things like an old married couple.

After the various teams were ready and Pan Han inspected the troops, they immediately set off.

The Twelve Palaces' large transport plane arrived in the afternoon. After everyone loaded the supplies into the cabin, Pan Han said goodbye to Cheng Xiao and flew straight to the Twelve Palaces.

By the time he arrived, it was already late at night.

Mo Li arranged for him to rest first and said they would discuss Ellie's replication tomorrow.

Pan Han stuffed two cartons of cigarettes into his hand before checking into the hotel.

The night passed without incident, and the next day dawned.

Early in the morning, Mo Li took Pan Han to the human body replication factory.

It was located in the middle section of the Twelve Palaces headquarters building and occupied an entire floor.

Mo Li first took Pan Han for a tour, showing him the laboratory, culture medium, debugging room, and every other part of the process.

He also took the opportunity to explain the basic situation of human body replication.

It turned out that this technology had existed for over thirty years before the apocalypse.

It was originally invented to replace body organs for the wealthy.

Later, technologies such as artificial intelligence, brain-computer interfaces, and neuron chips exploded one after another.

Seven years before the apocalypse, it was already possible to replicate complete humans in the laboratory.

Their thinking, memories, and emotions were exactly the same as the original.

However, this technology had never left the laboratory and had always been kept highly classified.

Before the apocalypse, four countries had made breakthroughs in this technology.

But the authorities unanimously agreed that making it public was too risky.

The entire underlying logic of human operation and the moral system would face huge challenges.

So they kept the news blocked, strictly controlled the scope of those who knew, and tried to minimize its use.

After the apocalypse arrived, these laboratories slowly died out. The only two remaining sets of equipment were all in the possession of the Twelve Palaces.

One set was used for work, and the other was used for backup replacement parts, etc.

"Mr. Mo, many people in the Twelve Palaces are Evolvers, or even Intermediate Evolvers. What do you still need human replication for?"

After listening for a long time, Pan Han had many questions.

"Haha! Little brother, guess how many times I've replaced my arm?" Mo Li looked at Pan Han with a smile.

"No way? Your arm?" Upon hearing this, Pan Han couldn't help but touch his arm.

"Yes, I've replaced it three times already."

"In the apocalypse, who could hurt you this badly?" Pan Han hadn't forgotten that Mo Li was also an Intermediate Evolver.

"Little brother, you don't understand. Although the threat on land isn't great, there are still many exotic beasts in the sea. Don't look at me working at headquarters now; I used to be part of the investigation team."

"There's such a thing as an investigation team?"

"Now is not the time to talk about this; we'll talk about it in detail later." Mo Li seemed somewhat unwilling to recall it and found an excuse to refuse Pan Han.

"Understood, Mr. Mo. I have one last thing I want to ask."

"Go ahead."

"After replicating Ellie, can she be directly upgraded to an Intermediate Evolver?"

"Huh? Why would you ask that?"

"Cheng Xiao reminded me. I didn't think of it at first."

"Haha. My silly sister!" When Mo Li heard it was Cheng Xiao who said it, he immediately burst into laughter.

"What's wrong, Mr. Mo?" Pan Han asked, looking confused.

"Sister Cheng Xiao is just soft-hearted. She doesn't stop to think that you already have Dili Abasi by your side, and if you replicate Ellie into an Intermediate Evolver, what about her? She is still just a Primary Evolver." Mo Li hit the nail on the head, pointing out the pros and cons.

"Uh! I did overlook this problem." Pan Han thought about it and realized it was indeed true.

Although Cheng Xiao certainly wouldn't mind these things, in the apocalypse, strength is the ultimate truth.

No matter how good her relationship with Pan Han was, it didn't mean she didn't want to evolve.

Yet Cheng Xiao didn't ask Pan Han to help her, but instead asked Pan Han to help Ellie.

"You kid, you have Sister Cheng Xiao wrapped around your finger. She is truly devoted to you!" Mo Li gave a meaningful smile.

"Uh! Mr. Mo, we are one family now. Maybe she didn't treat Ellie as an outsider."

"Listening to you, this girl Ellie is absolutely reliable?"

"Rest assured, Mr. Mo, she is absolutely reliable. I would stake my life on it."

"Alright. You decide things for your base. But I'll warn you, don't let Sister Cheng Xiao be wronged."

"How about I change how I address you to Brother-in-law? We are all one family."

"Stop with the glib talk. Take out some more good stuff, and I'll find someone above to pull some strings for you."

"Hehe, Brother-in-law, your sister has already thought of that."
