“How is it going? Are there any hidden risks in the clones that have grown through hormone regulation?”
As Chen Chen observed the cramped, uneven rows of life incubators before him, he posed this question to Hannibal and Li Lei.
“None that we know of for now.”
Hannibal replied immediately, “After all, the human body depends on hormones for growth. We’ve just sped up the process and shortened the time from more than ten years to just one year. We just need to maintain an adequate supply of nutrition.”
On one side, Li Lei added. “Remember that we cultivated an extra clone for each of the five villagers from Gorob Village? Those five have just undergone transplant operations some time ago. We’ve performed liver transplantation on three of the cirrhotic patients and the remaining two pneumoconiosis patients also had lung transplantations. Now, they have recovered.”
Chen Chen nodded.
He had known about these operations, just that he was still in Germany when they were carried out, so he had not gotten involved.
It was worth mentioning that the thirty-three Gorob villagers still lived in the research center.
These people were Chen Chen’s first batch of subjects for experimental observation. All sorts of data still had to be extracted from them and verified, but the frequency of data extraction was not as high as before.
There was a time when this group of people still clamored to leave. Nonetheless, they had accepted the benefits that Chen Chen had offered them and they still wanted to leave? Dream on.
This group of people was proof of Chen Chen’s various experiments and even crimes. Of course, Chen Chen could not let them leave. Otherwise, the Earth Federation would be able to easily locate the proverbial smoking gun.
Thus, ultimately, Chen Chen implanted these thirty-three people with the God chip and kept them in the research center.
At the moment, Chen Chen was looking at the clones within the life incubators. After some thought, he said, “Since that’s the case, prepare for the implantation of the God chips.”
After Chen Chen gave this order, one of the clones who had shown the best growth was taken out of the life incubator and laid out on an operating table.
As for the actual operation, Chen Chen did not have to get his hands dirty. Neither did Hannibal and Li Lei. The assistants in the laboratory were good enough for that.
These assistants were all talents with potential that Chen Chen had recruited from all over the world. At the start, they would not be involved in such highly confidential projects. Chen Chen would only issue the invitation after they had been inspected by him and proved that there were no problems with their capability and temperament.
The moment they agreed to join God’s Forbidden Zone, Chen Chen would implant them with the God chip.
As a result, the people here knew about the existence of the God chip.
Currently, Chen Chen looked at the team of assistants surrounding the operating table, carrying out the work he had once done. He was overcome by a momentary wave of emotion.
More than a year ago, before he came to Namibia, he had personally performed this operation on Samuel and his daughter.
At that point, Chen Chen was still a lone wolf. God’s Forbidden Zone was just a dummy organization too. Samuel was the first person to join God’s Forbidden Zone, only he did not know it.
Today, Samuel was still loyally helping Chen Chen manage the small research institute in Switzerland. Meanwhile, his daughter had started walking again long ago and was living happily just like her peers.
As they had an abundance of manpower, the God chip was successfully implanted in the back of the clone’s neck within half an hour.
This clone was a black male youth who came from the genes of a Gorob villager. At this moment, as the chip was implanted, the black youth on the operating table immediately opened his eyes.
As they had not used any anesthetic, the young black man did not show any symptoms of anesthesia after the operation. First, he sat up in the hospital bed, but when he tried to get out of bed and stand up, he could not do it.
“This must be what happens when he tries to control his body for the first time. After all, this body has never been mobilized, so the muscles aren’t fully stretched out.”
Hannibal explained by one side.
Chen Chen simply walked over and said to the young black man on the bed, “God, can you hear me?”
The young black man nodded.
“Very good. If you can hear what I’m saying, move your left hand.”
Hearing this, the young black man remained seated on the hospital bed and slowly raised his left hand.
“Very good. Now you move your right hand and draw a circle.”
The young black man then raised his right hand and shakily drew a circle.
“Now try moving your legs.” Chen Chen continued.
The young black man immediately shook his lower legs gently.
“Well done.”
Chen Chen nodded. “Although the movements are still very rusty, at least it’s certain that the God chip can control these clones. In that case, all remaining clones should be implanted with the God chip, except for our customers’ clones.”
After some thought, Chen Chen added. “Li Lei, Hannibal, your department should also make preparations. I’m going to move your department to an experimental base that’s more hidden.”
“Another experimental base that’s even more hidden?” The two of them looked at each other in surprise.
Chen Chen nodded. “You’ve seen Resident Evil before, right? There’s an underground lab in the movie called ‘the Hive’.”
“You’re saying that we have an underground lab similar to the Hive?”
Hannibal and Li Lei looked down toward the ground subconsciously.
“That’s right. Our God’s Forbidden Zone has already built an underground laboratory.”
Chen Chen snapped his fingers. “Although it’s not as large as the Hive, it’s more concealed. A few more living facilities and it’s done.”
Next, following Chen Chen’s order, the clone research department took out all of the remaining clones and implanted God chips into them.
Little X only had to perform targeted programming once on the chips of these clones. Then, they were able to continuously train themselves like intelligent AI, improving the strength, physical fitness, and reflexes of the body.
One could imagine — a group of people who knew no feelings, no pain, not even exhaustion, could continuously strengthen themselves and constantly exceed their physical limits. As long as these people were given a few months, they could immediately become the mightiest warriors!
They did not even need to go through a learning process. As long as Little X incorporated various skills into their chips, this group of people would be like members of a holistic special force, without any weakness whatsoever!
Seeing the immense combat potential of these clones, Chen Chen decided to separate these cloned fighters from the Black Security Service and set up a new rapid reaction force instead.
After thinking about it, Chen Chen named this new unit — the “Black Knights”.
After all, this would be a force that could only exist in the dark, never seeing the light of day.
Unlike the Black Security Service which was a combat department out in plain sight, the Black Knights would be Chen Chen’s real trump card…
