Wu Yi mentioned to Matt about Xiao Qiang's Chain. The Chain was handed over to an assistant from Clone Shi Qiang's original unit.
"Assistant?" Matt leaned forward in his chair, his overweight body creaking the seat. "Did you even think about it? What if it's a fake?"
"The problem is, it was too urgent at the time to consider so much. Besides, I had to bring him back."
"Don't look for excuses for your mistakes."
At the Mutant Base School, the children were playing various games when Yun suddenly froze. She looked into the distance, a long-lost smile appearing on her face as a Supersonic Concept Aircraft swiftly emerged from the clouds and gracefully landed in the open space.
The children, led by Yun, cheered and rushed towards the aircraft.
The Supersonic Concept Aircraft was named for its blended wing body; its wings and fuselage seamlessly integrated, giving it a smoother and more attractive appearance. This design significantly reduced noise and energy consumption.
Lin Yu left the camp and went to the Gene Life Research Institute to find Han Ming. With Han Ming's help, he restored the memories of both Wen Kai and Li Hang. Using Han Ming's private jet, he hurried back to pick up Wu Yi.
As Lin Yu stepped off the plane, he exclaimed joyfully, "Sister Yun!"
"Yes, Lin Yu! How are you?" Yun embraced Lin Yu warmly.
"Time is tight; I need to return to the camp as soon as possible." Lin Yu quickly summarized as he rushed with Yun to meet Matt at the base.
"Are you sure it's okay to leave the camp like this? What if something serious happens?" Yun knew that Lin Yu was on active duty and couldn't leave casually; it could lead to military legal issues.
"It's fine. I have a master who is a PhD in particle biology. Aside from not being able to reach the stars in the sky, he can handle everything else."
"I see. You mean he can use your simulated image as a substitute..."
"Um..."
Wu Yi looked at Lin Yu, memories of the past flooding his mind. He scratched his head awkwardly and chuckled, "You're back."
"Yes, how have you all been?"
"We're all good," Matt said with a smile, looking at Lin Yu. "You’ve become more capable and even prettier."
"Thank you for the compliment," Lin Yu shot a glance at Wu Yi as she spoke.
Matt and Yun exchanged silent glances, watching as Lin Yu and Wu Yi moved aside to talk.
"She has something urgent," Yun explained to Matt.
"I know, but what she's doing is very dangerous," Matt expressed his concern.
"Don't worry, she has her ways," Yun reassured him. "Let's go check on the kids."
Lin Yu was asking about Chain.
"You just handed Chain over so casually without considering the consequences."
Wu Yi squatted down, holding his head in frustration. "I didn't think that much at the time."
"Alright, let's put aside the matter of Chain for now. That Malicious Woman will eventually get her comeuppance. We should hurry; they are still waiting for us."
The Supersonic Concept Aircraft flew at a speed of 5029 kilometers per hour. In the blink of an eye, they were already hovering above the camp. Wu Yi was not an active-duty soldier, and due to his poor record with the talent agency, he would never qualify to join a regular unit.
But circumstances could be manipulated; they could find a way to eliminate the Mimetic Organism.
"What are we up against this time?"
"You can hardly imagine what it is, but you will have plenty of opportunities to see it," Lin Yu said as he and Wu Yi disembarked from the plane to meet Xiao Qiang. Their next step was to head to the Defense Alliance Headquarters where Jin Ming was located, to hold him off while coordinating with Wen Kai and Li Hang to obtain the Quantum System Components.
Wu Yi was excited to once again join forces with his brothers, feeling an immense joy in his heart.
In his eyes, Clone Shi Qiang and the real Xiao Qiang were still different. Later on, due to mutations in the Clone relative to the original, so-called Cloning did not result in a complete replication of a person. It would change over time due to environmental factors and some microorganisms invading, which was why Clones could never truly replace real individuals.
Jin Ming was surprised by Xiao Qiang's sudden appearance.
"How could you possibly have a chance to appear again?" His head was pinned down by Lin Yu's gun, rendering him immobile. He could only tilt his face slightly to speak to Xiao Qiang standing before him.
"You assumed that when I was thrown onto the battlefield, I would be brought back in a body bag."
"How did you escape the war and come here causing trouble?" Jin Ming was baffled. Logically, it shouldn't be possible. He knew Xiao Qiang was a mutant but was unaware that he carried a tachyon on him that allowed him to restart time in specific environments.
Even Professor R had no knowledge of the tachyon from Xiao Qiang, and Matt was equally confused, unable to grasp the situation. They all had no idea where the tachyon on him came from.
But Wu Yi knew because he had witnessed Xiao Qiang fall into the Blood Pool. However, unless it was explained clearly, he wouldn't delve into the truth of the matter.
"Do you want to know why?"
Jin Ming snorted coldly. "Not knowing is sad; not wanting to know is even sadder."
"The truth is something best left undisclosed," Xiao Qiang replied cryptically, his seemingly simple words carrying profound meaning.
"Speak then; what is your purpose for coming today?" Jin Ming understood and did not expose his identity as a mutant.
"Mimetic Organisms are not easy to deal with. We are here looking for something."
“Regardless of how difficult it may be to deal with, it must roll off this planet,” Jin Ming's words carried a heavy authority. Despite being held at gunpoint, he showed no signs of fear. A general is a general, and one cannot help but be impressed.
Under Xiao Qiang's hint, Lin Yu moved the gun aside and quietly stood by.
“The Cosmic War is a trap set by the Mimic Monster; it can also be seen as bait. While you all think victory is in your grasp and celebrate wildly, the highly intelligent Mimetic Organism has already begun to deploy the next round of war traps. After achieving a complete victory in the Cosmic War, you will send large-scale troops for the final battle, only to fall right into their scheme and deliver yourselves into their jaws. They will swallow us whole.”
“Nonsense!” Xiao Qiang was thoroughly enraged by Jin Ming. If what he said was true, then with just a few words, he was dismissing the world defense alliance's victorious campaign that had garnered global attention and even caught the interest of high-ranking leaders from various countries. To deny it now would mean that Jin Ming would have to slap himself in the face.
Jin Ming's roar came from deep within; he was unwilling to accept Xiao Qiang's claim of defeat. The traps set by the Mimetic Organism and the victory in the Cosmic War were nonexistent. This blow would unsettle anyone.
His face turned beet red, and when he lifted his head, they saw his eyes were bloodshot. He gritted his teeth and said, “You are reckless to dare intrude into the military headquarters. Have you thought about the consequences? Do you think you can leave here unscathed?”
