NieR: Whirlpool

His voice was soft and tentative.

N2 was standing nearby and agreed when he heard this.

"Yes, seven billion people is indeed too many."

"We can screen them, keep the valuable ones and eliminate the useless ones."

“This can also save a lot of resources.”

Ye Feng did not answer immediately. He remained silent, tapping the table lightly with his fingers.

One, two, three...

His eyes became deep, as if he was thinking about something.

After a long time, he slowly spoke.

"Need not."

His voice was very soft, but there was an unquestionable firmness in his tone.

"Seven billion people, not one less."

“We have the capability.”

His words were so powerful that both Tom Parker and N2 were shocked.

"Yes!"

Tom Parker straightened his back and shouted back.

"I understand, General!"

He turned and walked away, his steps firm.

N2 looked at Ye Feng, with a hint of complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

She opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end nothing came out.

At this moment, a guard came in and broke the silence.

"General, Mr. Adam wants to see you."

"Let him in."

Ye Feng said lightly.

"Yes!"

The guard saluted and turned away.

A moment later, Adam walked in.

He had an excited smile on his face and a document in his hand.

"Mr. Ye Feng, Miss N2, take a look at this."

He handed the documents to the two men.

"This is the latest research result on the human body."

Ye Feng and N2 took the document and looked at it carefully.

The document records in detail various data of the human body and Adam's research progress.

"We have completely mastered the structure and function of the human body."

There was a hint of pride in Adam's voice.

"Including the nervous system, endocrine system, immune system, etc."

"We can even simulate various human physiological responses 100%."

"Like pain, pleasure, fear..."

"besides……"

He paused, and his tone became somewhat mysterious.

"Reproductive capacity."

Hearing the word "reproduction",

Ye Feng and N2's looks became a little strange.

"We have successfully grown the first batch of human bodies."

Adam continued.

"These bodies have complete reproductive systems and are fully capable of giving birth to the next generation."

"Moreover, we have also optimized the genes to ensure that the next generation will be healthier and better."

Adam's voice became excited.

"As long as we transfer the consciousness of mechanical life into human bodies, we can exist forever!"

"We can achieve eternal life!"

"Nothing is eternal." Ye Feng interrupted Adam.

"The law of nature is circular, and fallen leaves return to their roots."

"Everything has its beginning and end. This is the law of nature and no one can change it."

Adam nodded, a thoughtful look on his face.

"I understand, sir!"

He showed a holographic projection in front of the two of them.

Lifelike human bodies appeared in the air.

"These are the human bodies we have cultivated."

Adam introduced.

"They have perfect human genes and normal functions..."

He paused and looked at Ye Feng and N2.

"These bodies are fully capable of giving birth to the next generation."

He pointed at one of the female bodies.

"In terms of reproduction, we imitate human coding, allowing genes to combine freely, perfectly matching Mendel's laws of inheritance, ensuring that the next generation has more possibilities."

"Sir, look..."

Adam looked at Ye Feng with questioning eyes.

"What do you need me to do?"

Ye Feng asked.

"Gestalt Project..."

Ye Feng repeated the word, his fingers unconsciously stroking his chin.

"What is that?" N2 asked in confusion.

“An ancient technology.”

Adam explained, "A technology that separates the human soul from the body."

“The original purpose was to deal with some terminal illness.”

"But then, the technology was abused."

“It led to the extinction of mankind.”

He paused, his tone becoming heavy.

"We need detailed information on this technology, and..."

Adam looked at Ye Feng, "Your consciousness data, and the key data when the consciousness is synchronized."

"What's the problem?"

Ye Feng was prepared and asked without hesitation.

“Human existence itself is a miracle.”

"What we are doing is tantamount to challenging the rules of some higher being. So, sir..."

"I can't predict what serious consequences will arise. It's very likely..."

"You won't be able to come back..."

Adam said this with difficulty, his usually proud head lowered at this moment.

N2 frowned and couldn't help but worry.

The scene suddenly became quiet, the atmosphere became somewhat solemn, and 041 on the side seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Suddenly, a cheerful voice broke the silence.

"Why are you talking so much!"

Ye Feng shrugged and said, "Let's go!"

"gentlemen?"

Hearing the call, Ye Feng smiled slightly, "The price is not a problem."

"What are you still standing there for? Make this a quick and decisive battle!"

Adam and 041 looked solemn and followed Ye Feng closely.

Only 10H looked thoughtful and left secretly.

Longguo, Institute of Biology.

The lights in the huge laboratory were pale.

Rows of petri dishes are neatly arranged, with various human organs floating in the light green liquid.

Heart, liver, lungs...

There's even a brain.

They pulsated slightly, as if they were alive.

There was a faint smell of formaldehyde in the air, which was pungent.

Ye Feng stood in front of a huge petri dish, inside which was a complete human body.

A man, naked, with his eyes closed, as if he was sleeping.

His skin was pale, without a trace of blood.

But his chest was rising and falling slightly.

"This is... my new body?"

Ye Feng's voice was a little vague.

"Yes, sir, this is a body for experimentation."

Adam stood beside him, speaking respectfully.

"We used your previous cells to clone this experimental subject."

“It has the most perfect genes and the strongest physique.”

“And we’ve also made some… optimizations to it.”

He paused, and his tone became somewhat mysterious.

"For example, stronger strength, faster speed, sharper perception..."

“Even longer life.”

Ye Feng didn't say anything, but just looked at the body in the petri dish quietly.

His eyes were somewhat complicated.

There is curiosity, expectation, and a hint of...

disturbed.

"Are you ready, sir?"

Adam's voice brought him back to reality.

"Ah."

Ye Feng nodded and took a deep breath.

"let's start."

Adam walked over to a huge machine and started operating it.

On the instrument, various indicator lights flashed and made a buzzing sound.

The liquid in the petri dish began to slowly drop.

The man's body is gradually exposed.

Ye Feng walked to the petri dish and reached out to touch the cold glass wall.

He could feel the heartbeat of the body inside.

One, two, three...

In sync with his heartbeat.

"Sir, please lie down over there."

Adam pointed to a metal bed in the center of the lab.

On the bed, there are various wires and tubes connected.

Ye Feng walked over and lay down.

The cold touch made him shiver.

"Relax, sir."

Adam's voice came from above his head.

"It's just a simple synchronization of consciousness."

"There won't be any pain."

Ye Feng closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

The hatch closed slowly.

He could feel a cold liquid being injected into his body.

His consciousness began to become blurred.

Everything around me becomes distant.

He seemed to be floating in an endless void, weightless and directionless.

There is only endless darkness, and...

lonely.
