Chapter 235 Pupa Project “By the way, Mr Tsugawa Hideharu, I think you’ve noticed that under the influence of the Blood Moon, the zombie horde outside is very aggressive. Soon, the Corpse King will attack the mansion.” “You can guess if we cause trouble in your mansion, can you keep the research room of your mansion and continue the pupa project?” On the loudspeaker, Tsugawa Hideharu’s voice became gloomy. “Fang Heng, are you threatening me?” “Hahaha, of course not. At most, it’s just a warning,” Fang Heng laughed and said half-truthfully, “Without the protection of my zombies, what if you suddenly act on impulse and attack me? It’s always good to leave a way out for myself.” “If I die, the zombie team I left behind will attack the mansion at all costs.” After saying that, Fang Heng stepped into the passage. “Mr Tsugawa, before we work together, I have another question that I’m very curious about. I hope I can find the answer here.” “You can tell me, but I can’t promise that I’ll answer your question.” Fang Heng stopped and raised his head to look at the camera not far away. “Is the apocalypse part of the Meteorite Company’s plan?” “No, it’s not.” After a pause, Tsugawa Hideharu continued, “To be precise, I’m not sure. At least, the apocalypse has nothing to do with me. Its arrival has slowed down my plan.” “I left the headquarters of the Meteorite Company eight years ago. At that time, I had already withdrawn from the biological weapon project of the Meteorite Company.” “Eudora and I had a huge disagreement on how to use the primogenitor virus.” “She preferred to take risks. She used the primogenitor virus to grow in the bodies of various creatures to obtain a more unique virus body. This kind of disorderly mutation is very dangerous and unstable.” “But she succeeded. The T-virus and G-virus were both created by her.” “As for me, I prefer the primitive evolution, letting the primogenitor virus complete its evolution. That kind of evolution is the most beautiful “So after a quarrel, I chose to be independent and left the company. We separated and did research in our respective fields.” Fang Heng continued to walk forward through the passage. He had heard about Eudora. Eudora was one of the three founders of the Meteorite Company, just like Tsugawa Hideharu. In the forum, the players believed that she was the most dangerous woman in the apocalypse game and that she was the one who controlled the Zombie Apocalypse. “What happened after that? Where did Eudora go after the apocalypse?” “I’m not sure. After that, I completely lost contact with her. I’ve been staying here to focus on perfecting my pupa project.” “Alright, what exactly is the pupa project?” “The pupa project, to put it simply, is the eternal life project.” “Using genetic modification technology, the primogenitor virus that has been cultivated will be fused with the human genetic fragments. The simulated life form will be nurtured from birth until the body grows into an adult.” “This process is also known as remodelling.” “We are remodelling to give birth to life. We are not modifying life like what Eudora did.” “After the completion of the pupa project, the various functions of the body will be fully improved.” “Finally, the pre-set genetic fragments and the main memory will be completely fused into the body, and the body will be completely reborn.” “Such a rebirth will not produce any rejection like the virus.” “Once the pupa project is successfully implemented, I’ll be able to continuously nurture stronger life forms and continuously replace their bodies, thus achieving the goal of eternal life.” Hearing what Tsugawa Hideharu said, Fang Heng frowned. Eternal life! It sounded very surreal. In Fang Heng’s opinion, if he was reduced to a zombie that was neither human nor ghost, eternal life would be meaningless. However, Tsugawa Hideharu’s project sounded a little like cloning humans. The reason why AEFC Company entered Server 8 was most likely to obtain the pupa project. Fang Heng carefully considered Tsugawa Hideharu’s pupa project. Something was not quite right. Theoretically speaking, according to Tsugawa Hideharu, eternal life might indeed exist, but there would be many problems in the actual implementation process. “Mr Tsugawa, I have a question.” “If your original body did not die after the genetic fragments and main memory were injected, then a second ‘you’ would appear after the fusion of your memory. I want to know which is the real ‘you’?” “No, the scenario you described does not exist.” “Why?” “Because of the soul.” Fang Heng was stunned. “Alright, that’s all for the commentary.” “The purpose of the pupa project is to obtain eternal life. Even though I don’t have the ability to carry out this step yet, the final implantation step is very difficult. It’s very difficult for us to preserve and extract the latest memory and obtain the complete basic map.” As they spoke, Fang Heng had already walked along the long passage to the end. There was an iron door at the end of the passage. Fang Heng stopped in front of the iron door. “Ka!” The induction door let out a soft sound before it was pulled open to both sides. Behind the door was the laboratory of the mansion’s research centre. It was different from the laboratory that Fang Heng had imagined. There was only darkness in the laboratory. A smell of rust assailed his nostrils. The floor was covered with a layer of light purple fungus blanket. The carpet was a jumble of dark brown spheres. Pupae? It was similar to the spider cocoon he had seen in Pine City. The pupae here were bigger! Wires coiled around the dark grey pupae. One end was connected to the pupae and the other was connected to the machinery in the main control room at the back. The pupae maintained a fixed frequency, beating rhythmically. This combination of technology and insects seemed to be very incompatible. The large electronic screen in the laboratory lit up again. The synthetic image of Tsugawa Hideharu appeared on the screen. “Fang Heng, did you see that? The pupa project is in front of you.” “They are breeding new bodies.” “Fang Heng, now that you know about the pupa project, it’s time for you to give your answer.” “Is it cooperation, or perish?” Fang Heng stared at the swarm of pupae in the laboratory. A game hint appeared on his retina one by one. (Hint: Mission-Pupa project completed.
