Chapter 178 The Shocking Truth
Time passed second by second. Although Lin Che's physiological parameters fluctuated, they never exceeded the warning value set by Su Wanqing.

He slowly opened his eyes, raised his hand to grasp the stent, and whispered, "I'm not confused, I can handle the impact of the medication."

Lu Zhao looked at the data processing on the display device, including ECG and blood oxygen, and confirmed that Lin Che had no abnormal reactions.

He said softly, "Observe for another five minutes. If there are no problems, give the girl the medication."

Su Wanqing temporarily put aside her worries and turned her attention to Han Xue: "What do you think of her condition?"

Han Xue used a data probe to examine the blue lines around the girl's eyes and wrists, her expression remaining focused.

She lowered her head and wrote a few lines of medical advice: "The medication is a stabilizer, which can suppress fluctuations for up to twelve hours. The symptoms will be relieved, but the root cause is not addressed. The abnormal sequence in her body is linked to the core of the 'Eden Project,' and all our treatment options are merely hemostatic bandages."

Lu Zhao lowered his head, scrutinizing the data, and asked in a low voice, "Do you have a more fundamental solution? Or is there something else hidden in this medicine?"

Han Xue didn't deny it. She left the medicine box on the table and took the initiative to speak: "Only by finding the core research data of the 'Eden Project' can we truly reverse her condition. Any technology you're using now is just a branch; the main root is still buried."

Su Wanqing pulled out her chair with a low thud and stared at Han Xue, saying, "Is there something you haven't said? What exactly is the 'Eden Project'? How many unknown sources of the virus are there?"

Han Xue pressed down on the medicine box lid, tapped it three times with her fingertips, and said in a deep voice, "Do you want to know everything? Then don't blame me for revealing the truth."

No one in the room made a sound, except for the girl with the child's voice, whose breathing was faint.

Han Xue stated bluntly: "This virus did not mutate naturally; it was released artificially. The mastermind behind it is called the 'Genesis Organization.' They are not the military, nor are they cleaners; they are a secret entity with only a very small number of interconnected individuals. This pandemic is a scheme orchestrated by them."

Lu Zhao was stunned. Xiao Ran clenched his right fist and his knuckles cracked.

Su Wanqing asked, "What evidence do you have?"

Han Xue took out her backpack and pulled out a hard folder from a hidden compartment.

Each sheet of paper was sealed with a serial number barcode and an anti-counterfeiting stamp. Han Xue opened a confidential document and waved it at everyone: "This is what I took over at 'Linmingdian'. The file shows that when the military first received the virus sample, they thought it was a smuggled mutation, but the source tracing analysis showed traces of artificial modification. It also says: 'Screening for suitable individuals'—do you know what that means?"

She tapped the nightlight with her finger: "Screening is the target of the entire outbreak, death, and chaos. They want to select a group of people with special genes through the virus."

Lu Zhao took a breath: "What about the military and those 'cleaners' organizations? Do they all know that they are just pawns?"

Han Xue gave a cold laugh and slid the next file photo in front of her without any emotion: "The military and the 'Scavengers' were both involved in this experiment. At first, they each had their own plans, wanting to be the first to develop the antidote and keep the results in their own hands. But it turned out that the experimental plan was designed by the Genesis Organization. Virus transmission, immune sample collection, infection area management, every step behind the scenes was controlled by someone."

After reading through several pages of materials, Xiao Ran said, "So all the immune serum we received before wasn't an antidote at all, but rather meant to keep us under their control?"

Han Xue: "That's exactly what I mean. The Cleaners, the rebels, you, and even some underground organizations each play different roles, but they're all in their web. The 'Eden Project' that you suspected before was just one step before the big net closed in."

Su Wanqing tugged at the cap of her pen, her voice blunt: "What do they ultimately want?"

Han Xue said calmly, "The Genesis Organization needs seven key 'seeds,' which are experimental subjects with core genetic characteristics. The child girl in your hands, Lin Che, and other missing experimental subjects are all on the list. There are 'seeds' buried all over the world. Once the seven 'seeds' are gathered, they will launch the so-called 'Human Evolution 2.0 Plan'—replacing the susceptible ordinary humans with only a population with new resistance."

Lin Che shoved the hemostatic scissors away with a "thud" and asked slowly, "So, after the plan is completed, what about the rest of the people?"

Han Xue pursed her lips: "The file didn't say anything, it only said that the screening would be accelerated—it's highly likely that they're clearing out the area."

Su Wanqing didn't waste any words and asked directly, "What else do you know? Is there any way to thwart their plans?"

Han Xue: "Only by obtaining the master control database of the 'Eden Project' can we come up with a solution. But the core secrets are stored only on the Genesis Organization's exclusive nodes, and even the military and Dawn can't access them. Our medicine can only stabilize the situation for twelve hours at most, unless we find that complete sequence."

The room fell silent for a moment. Lu Zhao flipped through the data, his face darkening.

He concluded, "The 'seeds' you mentioned are the original gene carriers. The virus spreads widely, leaving only these seven people. All of humanity is being screened by them." Han Xue tossed down the file, her tone indifferent: "Every step you take, every decision you make, is carried out under their monitoring and planning. We are merely reacting; they set the endpoint from the very beginning."

The air around the table seemed to freeze. Lin Che, clutching the empty water glass, asked solemnly, "Is there any chance the girl with the childlike voice will survive?"

Han Xue glanced back at him. "As long as we find the sequence, there's a way. Otherwise, she won't have a chance in the next round. The same goes for the rest of you."

Su Wanqing didn't stop. She simply looked at Lu Zhao and Lin Che: "We've taken all the existing files and experimental data, and done dozens of models, but we still can't trace the source. The jade bracelet space may be the only breakthrough."

Lu Zhao put the detector away and asked calmly, "What's your idea?"

For the first time, Su Wanqing didn't hide anything and took off the jade bracelet, placing it on the table: "I haven't told you this before, but this thing also has a function called 'Eden Connection'."

The system description is vague, but after a long analysis, I speculate that it has an unknown connection to the 'Eden Project' sequence.

Xiao Ran patted the toolbox in his hand and asked in a low voice, "How do I use it? How risky is it?"

Su Wanqing pulled out an encrypted memo and calmly reported: "It will consume all the main energy storage. The system warned of extremely unstable factors emerging, and there may even be unknown backlashes—including memory implantation and mental confusion. Theoretically, it is possible to retrieve the source data hidden in the test subject's memory, but the side effects are unknown."

The girl with the childlike voice lay on the bed, her breathing faint. Lin Che gently adjusted her pillow and whispered, "If we don't take a gamble now, no one will have a way out. Use it, I can manage."

Xiao Ran pushed the emergency medication to Su Wanqing's side: "Bring all the emergency equipment first."

Han Xue just stared at the screen without saying a word.

Su Wanqing nodded to Lin Che, Lu Zhao, and Han Xue, breaking away from her usual polite tone: "Everyone, please supervise the entire process. If any reaction occurs that cannot withstand the risk, immediately stop the operation. I will activate the Eden connection, and you must keep a complete record of every remaining step."

Lu Zhao sat down at the terminal and entered a set of backup commands. Lin Che moved the monitor to the girl's side and placed his hand on her forehead.

Su Wanqing took the jade bracelet, brought up the system menu, and located the dark button.

She plugged the battery into the bracelet's connector, waited a moment, and then pushed the remaining bioenergy modules to the main chip.

The atmosphere in the room seemed to drop, and everyone was waiting for Su Wanqing to give instructions.

She sat quietly in front of the control panel for three seconds, then tapped a button.

The jade bracelet trembled slightly, emitting a cold blue halo. Su Wanqing held her breath and observed, then raised her hand to switch to synchronized mode: "Lin Che, get ready."

Lin Che lowered his head and put his left hand on the girl's shoulder.

Code started flashing on the screen, and a string of unfamiliar data suddenly appeared.

The girl with the childlike voice suddenly coughed twice, her body twitched, and the EEG waveform turned high frequency.

Han Xue opened the emergency medication stop valve and reported in a low voice: "The girl's brainwaves are active and she is approaching the memory release threshold—a new sequence has appeared in the main brain waveband."

Su Wanqing's expression was resolute as she shouted, "Lu Zhao, save all data from the scene. Xiao Ran, be ready to cut off the power at any time."

In an instant, everyone's movements became extremely orderly. The girl with the childlike voice trembled slightly.

The jade bracelet's halo grew brighter and brighter, as if invisible lines were connecting her to the main unit.

Su Wanqing stared at the screen, waiting for the next batch of data.
