Chapter 2007: Chapter 2003: Impossible to Mass-Produce
"We can swim back."
Zhang Baobao suddenly spoke, nonchalantly saying, "I swam back from North Africa once; when I got tired, I just died once and was revived with full energy."
"Cough, cough, big sis, I’m not an immortal oddity like you. If I die, I can’t come back to life."
Tang Ming’s mouth twitched, and he glared at Zhang Baobao with annoyance.
"Baobao and I don’t mind. We can take a plane. You can figure something out yourself, and we’ll meet back in the country."
Zhang Chuming thought for a moment and then began to be cynical.
"You’ve dug such a big pit for me, and now you want to wash your hands of it? I think you’re the real god of pit."
Tang Ming cursed angrily and then looked at Ruisi: "Have James arrange a way for me to return to the country as quickly as possible, preferably before the news spreads to avoid any awkward situations."
"Alright, I’ll make the call right now."
Ruisi nodded without hesitation and immediately got up to make the phone call.
Then Tang Ming and the others began discussing specific matters for when they returned to the country. What lay ahead would undoubtedly involve power struggles among many big forces, and the slightest mistake could lead to utter ruin.
In a high-rise building in the residential community where Hua Luoying lived, a lab filled with all kinds of experimental equipment, severed limbs, and some dissected human bodies.
"It can’t be wrong, it can’t be wrong, this is the spirit demon that only the undying will possess."
A young man wearing glasses, dressed in a white lab coat, and resembling Hua Luoying, stared excitedly at the video on the screen.
"Little brother, are you sure this thing wasn’t developed by you?"
Hua Luoying looked skeptically at Hua Luojie.
"This is the effect I wanted to achieve, but my research hasn’t been successful, so it’s not my masterpiece."
Hua Luojie stared excitedly at Tang Ming in the video: "Who is this kid? He’s definitely an undying like my brother. I need to capture him for experiments, and it will surely make a breakthrough in my research."
"His name is Tang Ming. Are you saying Tang Ming is also an undying soldier king?"
With furrowed brows, Left Hand stared at Hua Luojie, hoping to be an undying himself.
If so, his severed finger and effectively useless lower part could regenerate, but he had never achieved it. He hadn’t expected Tang Ming to become the type of person he yearned for.
"Right! This white spirit demon must have been summoned by him... Were there others around at the time?"
Hua Luojie cautiously asked, then started manipulating the computer, checking the surrounding circumstances.
"There were only a few of us present at the time, so it must have been Tang Ming who summoned this thing."
Hua Luoying nodded firmly, annoyedly looking at the video: "But why is his spirit demon white and much stronger than my black demon?"
"The form of spirit demons is strange and varied, with different colors. I’ve studied many historical documents. According to the information, the strength of a spirit demon grows with its master."
Hua Luojie rubbed his hands excitedly introducing, "Tang Ming isn’t very strong now. I must obtain his body for research."
"Hua Luoying is undying; can’t you just use him for research?"
Left Hand disdainfully curled his lips.
"Hmph! Anyone who dares to harm my big brother, I’ll fight to the death with."
Hua Luojie snorted coldly, "Although the undying possess an undying body, they still feel pain. Experimenting on them means repeated disassembly and killing, and I don’t want my big brother to suffer that pain."
"Yes, yes, I won’t let you use me for experiments either."
Hua Luoying nodded repeatedly: "My brother now holds the most advanced theories and techniques on undying research. If you treat me like that, he would stop working."
"Enough with the nonsense, I need that kid now. Find a way to capture him for me."
Hua Luojie commanded unequivocally.
"Alright! I’ll contact the relevant people to organize a comprehensive capture of Tang Ming."
Left Hand left immediately without any further words to arrange the capture.
"Big brother, my experiment is finally about to succeed."
After Left Hand left, Hua Luojie’s face grew serious.
"Hmm, I’ve always believed in you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have let you use me for experiments. By becoming undying, it already means you’ve succeeded."
Hua Luoying appreciatively nodded: "Go on, I believe you’ll eventually be able to mass-produce the undying."
"That’s impossible."
Hua Luojie glanced at the door, revealing a strange smile.
"What do you mean?"
Hua Luoying looked puzzled.
"Big brother, I know you’ve done many things behind my back, including obtaining financial and technical support here in M Country, which was through agreements you reached with certain people."
Hua Luojie stood straight up, looking at Hua Luoying solemnly: "You told me all the support here came from overseas Chinese organizations and had nothing to do with the M Country government, right?"
"This... this is the truth!"
Hua Luoying’s face stiffened.
"Nonsense! Being able to build such a high-tech lab near Saint Yale University, with layers of defense around it, would be impossible without the recognition of the M Country government."
Hua Luojie sneered confidently, "I know everything, just haven’t said it out loud. After all, I couldn’t break through my research bottleneck back in the country, but here they had ready undying for me to study. I will never forget that I’m from the East."
"You..."
"You weren’t an undying created by me, but merely transformed by me."
Hua Luojie gave Hua Luoying no chance to speak, looking deeply into his eyes: "When we came here, they had already conducted twenty years of research and torture on an undying, without making any useful progress.
Many top scientists haven’t accomplished what they couldn’t do in twenty years. Why do I stand a chance?"
"What exactly do you want to say?"
Hua Luoying frowned at Hua Luojie, sensing something different about him today.
"Do you remember why they value me so much here?"
"Because you killed that undying and turned me into one, so they thought you could find a way to mass-produce the undying."
Hua Luoying uncertainly furrowed his brow: "Isn’t that the case?"
"Yes, that’s why they value me. But according to my research, mass-producing the undying in this world is impossible.
The so-called undying are a particularly special energy carrier, one in a billion might exist, and even among ten billion, one might not awaken, and what I’m researching is how to identify an undying without killing them.
