Chapter 515 The Real World 8: The Copies of the Empty Project

Cadore Island is located on the equator and is long and narrow in shape, running east to west.

To the west lies the Zhao family's ancestral land, where a large number of elite assassins have gathered.

On the east side, there is a huge building blocked by reinforced concrete. This is the experimental field for the second generation of the Zhao family's "Air Project".

Zhao Jinyan led Zhao Xuankong into this high-tech laboratory, where they saw bodies immersed in a row of petri dishes several meters high.

These bodies had their eyes closed, as if they were all asleep.

Zhao Jinyan stepped forward and said, "We have learned from our previous experience."

"To reduce unnecessary emotional bonds between them, I seal them in these experimental chambers when not conducting experiments, which also slows down their evolution."

“Emotions are poison. For an assassin, having emotions is tantamount to suicide!” Zhao Xuankong said bitterly.

"well-done."

"The previous Kong evolved too quickly, exceeding the control of the Elders, and the formation of emotions led to this disaster."

At this point, his expression changed slightly, as if he were recalling that painful experience.

Zhao Jinyan was a little embarrassed. He had originally wanted to say that as long as it is a living being, how could it be like a machine without emotions?

Actually, the first batch of empty plans died in internal strife.

The person who truly caused serious harm to the Elders' Council was Zhao Zhuikong.

After escaping from the training island, Zhao Zhuikong began a massacre.

The Zhao family had no assassins who could rival him, which is why they almost faced annihilation.

But Zhao Jinyan didn't dare to say anything more at this moment, and only pointed to the 007 cultivation chamber and said: "This is a clone of Zhao Likong."

Whenever Zhao Likong is mentioned, Zhao Xuankong immediately pictured the cold-blooded figure who caused all the tragedies.

Although he was the source, the Empty Project was already close to getting out of control, so he can't be blamed.

Moreover, as a genius capable of unlocking the fourth-order gene lock, his clones are also worth looking forward to.

"Is his gene pool stable?" Zhao Xuankong asked.

Zhao Jinyan shook his head slightly, an embarrassed expression on his face: "Zhao Likong's genes are not very stable to begin with, and this is already the 13th clone."

"The previous clone of Zhao Likong failed because its genetic chain collapsed due to its rapid evolution."

"However, this clone has already unlocked the second stage of the gene lock, and the third stage could be unlocked at any time."

“Once the third stage is activated…” Zhao Jinyan paused, a worried look on his face.

"Then he is very likely to break through the shackles of his brain nerves, and the second stage is currently the safest state."

To prevent the new generation of "empty plans" from going out of control, the Zhao family racked their brains and designed a brain-jade nerve restriction mechanism.

Implanted from the embryonic stage, controlling the minds of experimental subjects to prevent them from escaping the control of the Zhao family.

However, this neural shackle cannot restrict the third-order gene lock.

Once the test subject breaks through the third level, their cognitive abilities will increase by tens or hundreds of times, and they may instantly form a unique set of values ​​and beliefs.

At that time, whether the Zhao family will be friendly or hostile will be clear to anyone.

Out of ten, nine are probably consumed by hatred, and the other is probably driven by irrational madness.

This is why the second-generation 'Air Project' has been slow to succeed.

one.

It is extremely difficult for an ordinary person to control a third-order gene lock; it is beyond the capabilities of modern technology.

"You mean, we can only release products below the third-tier gene lock level for now?"

Zhao Xuankong gave Zhao Jinyan a cold look: "First-tier and second-tier gene locks, can they change the current situation?"

Of course, it can't be changed.

Zhao Jinyan internally complained.

But he didn't dare say it outright.

Otherwise, he would have been stuffed into these culture chambers.

"This is just a 007 experiment, please continue." Zhao Jinyan led Zhao Xuankong forward.

In the second incubation chamber was a tall, thin man.

"This is a fusion of Zhao Mingkong and Zhao Zhuikong. I found that their genes are very compatible, and the results prove that my guess was correct."

“Number 006 is the most stable of these clones,” Zhao Jinyan said.

A smile finally appeared on Zhao Xuankong's face: "Very good, so how is your strength?"

Zhao Jinyan stiffened slightly, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Right now, we only have the first-level gene lock."

"But his physical fitness is already three times that of an average person."

Zhao Xuankong's brows furrowed again: "You're not kidding me?!"

Zhao Jinyan quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at Zhao Xuankong's murderous gaze.

Although their physical abilities are three times that of an average person, this is already quite good for a typical assassin.

If I go to the Olympics, I'm sure I can win a gold medal.

But what good is it to the Zhao family, who train top assassins!
A Tier 1 gene lock with three times the physical strength can at most deal with a fully armed combat squad.

It's even quite possible that they could be remotely locked down and killed.

For the Zhao family, this was not enough to solve their immediate crisis.

Three years ago, the "Kong Generation" included three fourth-tier powerhouses: Zhao Zhuikong, Zhao Ruikong, and Zhao Likong, as well as several third-tier gene locks.

At that time, the Zhao family was invincible, defeating the Western assassin family Assassins so badly that they could not even raise their heads, and they received more than 90% of the world's orders.

Zhao Xuankong took a deep breath and angrily retorted, "What use is this piece of trash who's barely better than an ordinary person?!"

"What we need are reliable, real killers, not these fancy but useless things!"

"In recent years, each clone has cost tens of millions of US dollars, and the wealth consumed is far more than tens of billions..."

"Tell me honestly, did you take any kickbacks or not!"

"How could I dare?"

Zhao Jinyan lowered her head and said aggrievedly, "If we want stability, we can only control it at this intensity."

Zhao Xuankong interrupted impatiently, "Stop talking. Don't try to fool me with these things. I want to see a finished product that can actually be used in the assassination mission!"

Zhao Jinyan took a deep breath, walked to the incubation chamber No. 002, and said, "This is Zhao Zhuikong, the genetic clone of that traitor."

Upon seeing that familiar face, Zhao Xuankong's forehead veins bulged, and his eyes were filled with a deep-seated hatred. This was the guy who shattered the Zhao family's glory, nearly wiped out all the elders, and trampled him underfoot, mocking and humiliating him at will. He was forced to cut off one of his own hands to escape.

The feeling of fear and anger made him slam his fist into the incubation chamber.

"Elder, this instrument is very expensive!" Zhao Jinyan quickly advised against it.

Zhao Xuankong glanced at him sideways, then looked at the clone in the incubation chamber: "How much of Zhao Zhuikong's strength does he possess?"

“He has now unlocked the second-tier gene lock, and his physical attributes are almost exactly the same as Zhao Zhuikong’s,” Zhao Jinyan replied.

Zhao Xuankong frowned again: "That's it?"

"Of course more than that."

Zhao Jinyan quickly explained, "I discovered that Zhao Zhuikong's genes are also perfect."

"He can quickly advance to the next level if he wants to unlock it, but he is not aware of the threat right now, so he is controlling the evolution of the gene lock."

"Just as I expected." Zhao Xuankong snorted coldly.

"He has been hiding his strength, which is why his family hasn't paid much attention to him."

“What about that one?” He pointed to culture chamber number 001.

Zhao Jinyan immediately felt confident and quickly said, "Elder, this is the strongest clone of the second-generation Space Project that I would like to introduce to you."

"I didn't name 001, the clone born from the combination of Zhao Yingkong and Zhao Ruikong's genes, because it means she represents infinite possibilities."

"What level of gene lock has she unlocked?" Zhao Xuankong asked eagerly.

Zhao Jinyan smiled confidently: "Among all these clones, she is the fastest at unlocking and has the most stable physical condition."

"Moreover, during the evolutionary process, the neural shackles in her brain did not collapse as she unlocked them."

"Instead, it actively integrated into her brain and became part of her body."

"So she engraved the idea that she would never betray her family."

"very good!"

"You've finally done something that proves your worth!"

A wicked smile appeared on Zhao Xuankong's face.

He looked at the face of the girl, who was only eleven or twelve years old, in the incubation chamber.

I couldn't help but think of the two genius girls, Zhao Yingkong and Zhao Ruikong, from three years ago.

Unfortunately, one of them died and the other disappeared.

If Number 001 truly combines the strengths of the two girls, he might be able to overcome that insurmountable barrier and become the most powerful individual in the world.

At that time, the Zhao family will be the rulers for the next thousand years, and there will only be one assassin family in the world, and that is the Zhao family!
Zhao Xuankong grew happier the more he thought about it, and couldn't help but pat Zhao Jinyan on the shoulder: "Hahaha! This is exactly the product I wanted to see."

"However, Jin Yan, does she have any flaws?"

Zhao Jinyan's previously excited face turned pale instantly. He lowered his head and whispered, "She... is too kind."

"what?"

Zhao Xuankong doubted that he had heard correctly.

He picked at his ear, looking puzzled, and asked, "What did you say?"

Zhao Jinyan said with a mournful face, "Elder, I don't know how her values ​​were formed."

"Subject 001, she is too kind."

“In previous internal struggles, she was unwilling to attack her opponents, preferring to be hurt rather than fight back.”

“She wouldn’t even hurt the animal references we prepared for her, such as tigers, lions, or even rabbits.”

"If I try to force her to do something by using ganglion shackles, she will fall into an inescapable pain, and her genetic chain will feel like it's about to collapse."

"I didn't dare to force her, since she was the only successful test subject, so I haven't dared to report to you."

Zhao Xuankong's eyes widened in disbelief: "Our Zhao family's greatest hope, the world's only second-generation Kong Project achievement, is actually a little girl who doesn't even dare to kill a rabbit?"

His vision blurred, and he almost fainted. How could the Zhao family, a family of assassins for a thousand years, have such a descendant?

"I'm sorry, Elder, I can't change her values ​​either." Zhao Jinyan lowered her head and trembled.

"She has already unlocked the third stage of her genetic potential, so there's really no way to change it."

“I beg you, give me another chance. I will definitely create a truly powerful and usable ‘third-generation air force’ based on her genes.”

"You're planning to do it again?!"

Zhao Xuankong felt dizzy and lightheaded, as if he was about to stop breathing, and fell into a state of extreme despair.

The Zhao family's greatest hope, the perfect No. 001, turned out to be a kind-hearted little girl, even with a body possessing a third-order gene lock.

What's the use?

Time, where is there any time left?

If the Zhao family doesn't get any more business, they'll be completely wiped out!

Looking at Zhao Jinyan's deathly pale face, he felt a surge of murderous intent for the first time and couldn't help but mutter, "Jinyan, you wouldn't happen to be an Assassin spy sent to our Zhao family, would you?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Jinyan knew in his heart that things were going badly.

This is also why he never dared to report to his superiors after creating No. 001.

Because this is more shameful than the complete failure of the "empty plan".

A ruthless family of assassins who treat human life as worthless has somehow created a descendant who wouldn't even dare to kill a little rabbit.

If this gets out, it'll be a complete disgrace, and he'll be nailed to the pillar of shame for a thousand years.

"I...I still have a chance..." Zhao Jinyan was about to explain.

Suddenly, a loud alarm sounded outside.

"What's going on?" Zhao Xuankong asked coldly, his face darkening.

At that moment, a security guard rushed in, panicking, and said, "It's terrible, Elder! An enemy has broken in!"

"Who exactly broke in?" Zhao Xuankong pressed.

"I don't know!" the security guard exclaimed in alarm.

"The enemy is only one person, and he specifically named our Zhao family as the target!"

"The Assassins?!" Zhao Xuankong's expression changed drastically, then he gave Zhao Jinyan a cold look.

"Now we need your 'work' to contribute to the Zhao family!"
