Trafford’s Trading Club

A black shadow quickly passed by the entrance. One of the two guards stationed at the entrance was hit hard in the abdomen in an instant and fell to the ground. The weapon in his hand was also taken away by the attacker. .

Under the rapid sirens, almost all eyes were focused on the intruder.

Several guards stopped in front of Mr. House at this time. The figure who seemed to be the guard squadron leader quickly gave orders. In the next moment, several tongues of flames lit up, and several straight streams of bullets poured out at the same time. on this intruder.

But the intruder's movements were unusually vigorous, like a huge black cat, finding cover in an instant.

"What's going on? Why did someone break in?" Mr. House showed a frustrated look and looked at Jimmy angrily.

Jimmy shook his head, his frown seemed to be wondering about the intruder.

But after all, there was only one intruder. There were many guards here, and they were well-armed, so they would not be afraid. At this time, under the command of the captain, the seven guards began to press closer to where the intruder's bunker was.

At this time, hiding behind the bunker, she first glanced at the weapon she had seized: Kalashnikov 1974.

"This is the weapon of this civilization..." She lowered her head and muttered, and then her fingers quickly carved a dark red mark on the gun handle - when the mark was completely integrated into the gun, it had something similar to Specially made for 'life'.

The next moment, her fingers quickly traced the marks of the other two on the boots - after that, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief, then bowed and used force!

Behind the bunker, a black shadow jumped out at an extremely fast speed. Before anyone could react, they only heard the sound of bullets bursting out, like firecrackers!

The sound of gunshots rang out rapidly, and the pause was instantaneous... It seemed that there were only the sounds of seven shots, but the seven guards who came under siege fell to the ground one after another at this time - not one of the seven guards was excluded, all of them were He was shot in the forehead, almost always in the same place, killing him with one blow.

In the process of running out, seven shots were fired in succession, and they all hit the same place of the guard, achieving a fatal blow... Most scientific researchers may not be able to see the doorway, but the other guards here are different.

Almost at the same moment, all the guards felt a chill, and the captain gritted his teeth and became extremely solemn, "Everyone, be careful, this person may have been trained by top agents... escort the boss away immediately." !”

"Agent..." Mr. House frowned, "Did they find..."

Mr. House's mind changed rapidly, but he did not doubt his presence at this time. Surrounded by several guards, he quickly headed to another passage.

But the intruder obviously didn't intend to give up like this. She jumped out again, running on the wall in an almost anti-gravity posture. The Kalashnikov 1974 in her hand spat out bullets crazily. !

With every bullet fired, a guard fell to the ground silently - when there were only three bullets left in Kalashnikov 1974's magazine, only one guard was left on the scene. Guard: The captain of the guards.

She also ended her incredible run across the wall, jumped and landed on the ground. Kalashnikov 1974 held it casually, as if holding a long sword, and walked step by step.

The captain was standing in front of Mr. House, and the researchers were already hiding in various places, holding their heads in fear.

Mr. House took a deep breath. Although his face was pale, he remained as calm as possible... The situation in front of him was not more dangerous than the war he participated in when he was young, but it was similar.

"Who sent you here?" Mr. House asked in a deep voice, staring at the intruder.

"No." She shook her head casually, "There is no one behind me. I came here just to solve trouble."

"Is there a conflict of interest between us?" Mr. House asked again in a deep voice.

"Not yet, and of course not in the future..." Her lips under the silver eye mask curved slightly, and she slowly raised the assault rifle in her hand.

"What do you want, wealth, status, or technology? I can give it to you."

Cold sweat broke out on Mr. House's forehead, "As long as you stop this rough behavior... No matter how powerful you are, as long as I seal this place, you can't escape. This is a place I spent ten years building."

"It's hard to say..." She shrugged, "I don't have a key, so I came in differently? I can't be trapped here."

"She's out of bullets—!"

The captain was suddenly startled at this moment and pressed the trigger without hesitation - the bullet capacity of Kalashnikov 1974 was limited, and the number of fallen guards flashed rapidly in his mind. He absolutely could not I believe that during that incredible wall running process, the other party was able to fire every shot without wasting a single bullet!

Bang——! !

"Yep!"

"How can it be……"

What fell was...the battle-hardened captain of the guard.

Mr. House was startled. He was even more frightened when he saw the intruder walking directly towards him. The guard had fallen, and he had almost lost all his support.

"Please don't be impulsive." Mr. House backed away, and soon stepped back in front of the huge container. His eyes were searching... for someone who could help him.

But all the research institutes were hiding at the moment. Although they quietly peeked out to watch, they obviously didn't dare to take action - Mr. House also saw personal assistant Jimmy, who also found a bunker and was just peeking out at the moment.

Their eyes met, and it was not difficult for Mr. House to see panic and hesitation in Jimmy's eyes.

Finally, she walked up to Mr. House, and the Kalashnikov 1974 she held in her hand directly pressed against Mr. House's chest, directly tearing the old man's last strength to pieces.

His breathing became rapid, his face turned pale, and his body began to tremble.

Her eyes moved from Mr. House's body and looked at the contents inside through the observation port of the container shell.

"What do you guys think of this kind of technology... cloning? Right?" A smile appeared on her face, "If I guess correctly, the one in here is your clone, right?"

"We have something to discuss, right, ma'am." Mr. House keenly caught the other party's interest in talking.

She said calmly: "If I remember correctly, it seems that real-person cloning is not allowed for the time being... You are about to die, right?"

At this point, Mr. House gradually became less scared. He nodded, with desire and fear in his eyes. They were the eyes of a drowning person, "You will never understand an old man's nostalgia for life and his fear." The fear of death... If I have this ability, why don’t I try it.”

"I'm not interested in whether you are about to die." She shook her head and smiled: "I am very interested in this way of recreating life... Is he conscious?"

Mr. House wanted to keep silent, but the muzzle of the gun on his chest used a little force. He could only say helplessly: "His body structure is tending to be stable, and brain waves have been detected... …The cerebral cortex has started to become active in the last month, and we speculate that he should have given birth to consciousness.”

"Really." She said calmly: "You probably haven't mastered the method of consciousness transfer yet... Then even if you create a clone of yourself, it will only be a new life, and you can't continue yourself at all... "

Mr. House remained silent.

But she suddenly sneered: "To be honest, I prefer honest people. There are still some things you haven't said...Gene No. 0."

"How did you know!" Mr. House suddenly raised his head.

"You don't have to worry about this." She shook her head, then patted Mr. House's cheek with the muzzle of her gun, "Let your researchers complete the final steps. I also want to see your technology. .”

As she said that, at the moment when Mr. House lowered his head in thought, she suddenly kicked Mr. House on the knee, causing him to kneel on the ground. At the same time, she grabbed his arm and reached out to pull it out. , he pulled out a black pistol from Mr. House's waist, "Remember to be honest."

This is the last thing Mr. House can rely on... At this moment, his face is ashen, and he really can't figure out the purpose of this intruder. "Doctor, everyone, come out and continue the experiment!"

Just dare to come out from the research institutes?

She immediately pointed the pistol at the ceiling and fired two shots in succession. Her cold voice spread, "My shooting skills are very accurate...can you try it?"

Finally, a younger researcher slowly walked out of the bunker, trembling.

A strange scene happened. In just a few minutes, an intruder killed all the guards here and took control of everything here.

Someone once took advantage of the chaos and tried to leave secretly, but at the exit, they could not open the door lock - even the password was useless.

The intruder in leather clothes sat leisurely in front of a table, looking at it with his legs crossed, and eating chocolate candies that were originally placed on the table. There were corpses of guards on the ground, and the institute continued to work silently. .

While looking at the mysterious woman, Jimmy moved to Mr. House's side... Seeing that the other party had no intention of stopping him, Jimmy relaxed slightly and helped Mr. House up.

"Old...boss?"

"Don't act rashly..." Mr. House shook his head slightly, then took a deep breath and said seriously: "Help me over."

Jimmy nodded and helped Mr. House slowly walk towards this mysterious and terrifying woman...but the doubtful look in his eyes flashed across.

"How much do you know about Gene No. 0?" Mr. House came to the mysterious woman and asked in a deep voice.

"Only a very small number of people in the world will carry this gene." She said slowly: "There is no pattern in its appearance, and the individuals who carry it have nothing in common. They may be geniuses, they may be A madman may be just an ordinary cleaner... In the same way, no matter how good a person is, he may not have it. Gene No. 0 has become one that cannot be copied, but it seems that it can be produced artificially, and this is what you get The key to new life, right?”

Mr. House was silent and slowly sat down with Jimmy's support. "There was once an outstanding biologist. I regard him as the greatest genius of this century. He is participating in the Human Genome Map Project." When he was young, he accidentally discovered the existence of the No. 0 gene, but this discovery was terrifying and would subvert the entire world... He settled for the next best thing and did not announce the discovery. Instead, he used the discovery of the No. 0 gene to reversely deduce human beings. The material genetic makeup of human beings has pushed the human material genetic chain to 99.999% of the limit.”

As he spoke, Mr. House looked at the intruder's expression, but when he saw that she was indifferent, he continued: "This genius worked hard to make this extreme discovery and won the award six years ago. I am so impressed by his I was very interested, so I contacted him and was willing to fund more of his research. But at the same time, there was another force that seemed to be eyeing him..."

The intruder just opened the icing again and put another piece of chocolate candy into his mouth.

Mr. House said: "This mysterious force is far more terrifying than I imagined... but they don't seem to have reached out to China, so I have to transfer all the funds here and continue to let this talented scholar Continuing his research... finally, when the study was completed, they suddenly appeared."

She said casually: "Then your hard-earned achievements were taken away by this force, right?"

Mr. House sneered: "Isn't it?"

She suddenly smiled and said: "Old man, don't you think that I am one of them?"

"You're not?" Mr. House frowned.

"Whatever you think." She shrugged, "According to you, this mysterious force has already taken away the results... So what happened next, are you still continuing this research?"

Mr. House nodded: "I suffered heavy losses that time, and the genius scholar was also captured... But fortunately, several of his students escaped. It took me a lot of time to regroup. Laboratory, continue the original experiment...but the most critical part at that time was missing, and I only found it recently. Only then did this research have a chance of success."

"I'm afraid that force has already succeeded in the experiment." She sneered.

"I don't care if they succeed early." Mr. House shook his head, "As long as my own succeeds."

"Absolutely." She sneered, "Anyway, I've seen a lot of powerful people like you who are about to die. It's almost when you're about to die that you start pursuing eternal life..."

"What on earth are you going to do?" Strangely, it was not Mr. House who spoke this time, but Jimmy.

His eyes were fixed on the mysterious woman's face, as if he wanted to see through her.

The woman smiled and said: "I said I was here to solve the problem... Now, I also want to see how this artificial No. 0 gene was born. By the way, there is one thing you may not know yet, and that is... You have already touched the real restricted area of ​​life. Compared to the artificial No. 0 gene, I am more willing to call it...artificial soul."
