Chapter 44: Memories

As the main researcher of Xuanyuan Seven, Qin Ran’s parents had poured almost all their youth and passion into the project. They had been isolated from the world for seven to eight years on that lonely ship, causing them to have long forgotten how to live in a bustling city.

Therefore, when the Xuanyuan Ark landed, the couple embarked on the journey back home without any hesitation. On the way, they happened to pick up Qin Ran, who had been abandoned and sold to the countryside. They brought her home and raised her carefully.

At this moment, Dr. Wu’s brows were tightly knitted and his lips were tightly pursed, as if he had something difficult to say.

“Dr. Wu, it’s been almost twenty years. Although my parents are far away in the remote countryside, they have never given up on their research on Xuanyuan Seven. Never!”

When they first met Qin Ran, she was just a weak little sick cat. She always had a fever at night, and her entire body was boiling hot as if she couldn’t live until tomorrow. Both her adoptive parents were unable to give birth and regarded the Qin Ran they picked up as a gift from the heavens. When they saw her suffer, their hearts felt terrible.

In order to keep this daughter, they took a risk and privately injected Qin Ran with the mutated Xuanyuan Seven reagent.

However, they didn’t expect that just one use of the medicine would make the critically ill Qin Ran become strong and lively. Moreover, the couple slowly realized that this child was really smart and had an extremely high IQ.

This information was very rich. After thinking for a few days and nights, they finally determined that their life’s goal was to research Xuanyuan Seven until death.

“Are you serious?” After hearing the persistence of the like-minded, Dr. Wu’s eyes flashed.

“Yes!” Qin Ran’s words were powerful. “The words Xuanyuan Seven are not easy for me. Because it carries the dreams, persistence, hope, and regret of my parents’ lives, so I want to know more about it.”

The research of Xuanyuan Seven also concerned the technology and safety of the entire country. Whether it was as a retired National Security Bureau ace agent or as Ning Yu and Su Yi’s daughter, Qin Ran felt that at this moment, no one in the world would know the full content of Xuanyuan Seven better than her.

“Sigh.” It was a heavy and helpless sigh. At this moment, the light in Dr. Wu’s eyes completely disappeared, replaced by a thick layer of gloom.

“At that time, I was too inexperienced to go to the cruise ship to study Xuanyuan Seven. However, I really loved the research of external regeneration of human organs. Therefore, Academician Ning made an exception and brought me onto the ship. After we entered the ship, we often discussed and experimented together. In the seven or eight years deep in the sea, other than the waves, only your father and this research accompanied me.”

They had spent so many days and nights, so many youthful years, in exchange for a huge fire. Anyone would feel indignant about it.

“Then what happened?” Qin Ran didn’t dare to move her eyes away, not wanting the clues she had caught to be cut off again.

“Later on, the so-called accident happened and the project was forced to terminate. All the researchers were dismissed. You can almost understand it in the newspapers and the media.”

“What do you mean by an accident? Could there be something else?” Qin Ran caught the key word and asked.

The little girl in front of him had a sincere and anxious look in her eyes. Dr. Wu was very hesitant. He didn’t know if he should tell the girl everything, even though she was Academician Ning’s daughter. It was also because she was Academician Ning’s daughter that he couldn’t bear to let her take risks again.

“There are many things that are better looked at from afar. Being close is harmful to the body.”

“I must know the truth. Because this matter doesn’t only concern my parents, it also concerns the fate of the entire country.” Qin Ran’s words were firm, as if she had sworn an oath under the flag on the day she entered the Bureau.

No one could predict how much strength a girl’s originally thin and weak body could unleash.

Women are not inferior to men. This was the only sentence in Dr. Wu’s mind.

“As expected of Academician Ning’s daughter!”

In Dr. Wu’s explanation, the research of late-stage Xuanyuan Seven underwent a qualitative change. It deviated from the original organ transplant and external regeneration to the cultivation of the injection of the optimizing human body. Through the specific combination and fission of genes, it could create injections that adapted to the human environment and optimized the organs of the human body.
