Chapter 176 The Umbrella Corporation

The Modu, Umbrella Corporation headquarters.

Three old men sat in the shadows. In front of them was Ren Xiao, who had been urgently recalled to headquarters.

"Ren Xiao, how exactly did Bai Jingming die? And how did Bai Jingyan escape?" one of the old men asked, his tone aggressive.

"You've been questioning me for an hour!" Ren Xiao sat in the chair, looking extremely irritated. She had been mentally prepared for this. In her heart, she cursed Li Tianran as a bastard, but she had to put on an act of indignant anger as if she had been misunderstood and wronged. "I've said it countless times. I cooperated with Bai Jingming in setting up defenses in Nancheng, but I have no idea how Bai Jingyan killed Bai Jingming or how he escaped!"

"Bang!"

The old man who had been questioning her slammed his hand on the table and shouted, "You don't know anything? Then why did everyone Bai Jingming brought to Nancheng die, not a single one left, while your people were completely unharmed?"

"Are you blaming me for not dying with Bai Jingming at the hands of Bai Jingyan?" Ren Xiao suddenly looked up, her expression icy cold. "The head office kept this matter confidential, and Bai Jingming was wary of me at every turn. I'm not his nanny, to follow him and protect him every second!"

Seeing Ren Xiao's tough attitude, the three old men fell silent.

Although this matter seemed suspicious, they couldn't force the blame for Bai Jingming's death onto Ren Xiao. Everyone at the head office knew about the discord between Bai Jingming and Bai Jingyan.

And it was plausible that Bai Jingyan, driven into a corner, would take revenge in a frenzy and kill all the people Bai Jingming had brought with him...

"We will continue to follow up on this matter. You can go back now," one of the old men said, waving his hand to signal Ren Xiao to leave.

Clatter!

The meeting room door closed again.

"It seems this matter was just an accident..." the old man who had been questioning Ren Xiao said quietly. He was one of the five major shareholders of the head office, the head of the Ren family.

The other two old men who had remained silent were the head of the Lan family and Bai Changyun, the head of the Bai family.

The Ren family elder had questioned Ren Xiao so harshly not because he was truly angry, but because he wanted to use this attitude to silence Bai Changyun and the Lan family elder.

The three families had jointly planned the Nancheng affair, but now Bai Jingming was dead, Lan Ning was missing, and only Ren Xiao had returned unscathed...

This situation was awkward.

It was like two brothers going out to play, and one of them fell into the water and drowned. The parents would inevitably vent their anger on the child who returned alive.

The situation was similar now. If the Ren family elder didn't take the initiative and do something in time, the Bai and Lan families might use some perverted method to interrogate Ren Xiao!

Bai Changyun's face showed a look of grief, but he quickly suppressed it. Now that things had come to this, there was no point in saying anything!

Since they couldn't change the established facts, they had to shift their focus to the future.

"Bai Jingyan took away the God gene and research materials. All our huge investments have been wasted..." Bai Changyun's brow twitched wildly, and murderous intent almost burst from his eyes. "My family is unfortunate, causing you two to suffer losses with me. I'm so sorry!"

The Ren family elder and the Lan family elder exchanged glances and smiled wryly.

What was the use of saying this now?

For the God-making Project, the three families had invested a lot of money and energy, but now they had suffered a total loss. If word got out, the other two major families in the head office would probably laugh their heads off...

"The God-making Project cannot be shelved! Even without Bai Jingyan, we must continue to carry it out! And we won't necessarily lose everything!" Bai Changyun's eyes suddenly sharpened. "I have a tycoon friend in ancient India who I mentioned some general concepts of the God-making Project to before! He just called and said that they found perfectly mutated humans at a base camp supported by their family's forces!"

The Ren family elder and the Lan family elder were stunned.

"He offered an exorbitant transfer fee, and I agreed," Bai Changyun said sternly. "I must get the genes of perfectly mutated humans!"

"And the God-making Project must continue! Even if we can't complete gene replication like that rebellious son Bai Jingyan... we can also create gods through the simplest method," Bai Changyun said in a deep voice.

"The simplest method?" The two old men were taken aback.

"How did mutants appear? How did perfectly mutated humans appear?" Bai Changyun's voice was incredibly cold. "We've always wanted to develop a drug that would guarantee a 100% chance of perfect mutation, but in fact... the world is now full of drugs that can cause mutation, it's just that the success rate is a little lower, isn't it?"

The Ren family elder and the Lan family elder finally understood. Bai Changyun wanted to directly infuse people with water containing radiation, using a large number of human bodies to gamble on the pitifully small chance of perfect mutation!

This was almost an anti-human idea!

According to Bai Changyun's idea, creating one perfectly mutated human would require at least tens of thousands of lives!

"I disagree! If this is spread out, we will be targeted by the whole world! This is too anti-human!" the Ren family elder refused decisively.

"Do you think we're the only ones with this idea?" Bai Changyun sneered. "The world's resources are too scarce now. A large number of people living will only share the already limited survival resources! Do you think the world's rulers and superiors haven't thought about giving up a portion of the population to shrink resources?"

"Eliminating the bottom trash and leaving only the top elites will allow fewer people to live longer! This is originally the unified choice that all biological groups will make when facing an extinction crisis!"

"And the abandoned people are naturally materials that can be used to produce evolutionaries in large quantities... If it succeeds, of course, we'll be happy! If it fails, there's no loss! Anyway, they're going to be abandoned sooner or later!"

"It's just that the so-called moral and legal bottom lines are still restraining most people, but I predict that in less than a month, the massive reduction of resources will force those superiors to tear off their masks and make this decision!"

"And we're just bringing this behavior forward a little bit. What's wrong with that?"

Bai Changyun smiled sinisterly.

The Lan and Ren family leaders looked at the sneering Bai Changyun and felt a chill down their spines.

Ever since the news of Bai Jingming's death came back, Bai Changyun had become twisted and crazy. His ideas frightened even the Lan and Ren families, who were also leaders.

But they had to admit that Bai Changyun had a point.

A large number of lower-class civilians would drag down a country's remaining resources. Perhaps in the near future, some countries would have to abandon some civilians in order to survive. Dafeng Novel

The original fate of these civilians was to die anyway. There wasn't much difference between dying of hunger and dying from drinking radiated water...

Looking at the slowly changing expressions on the faces of the Ren and Lan family leaders, Bai Changyun smiled.

He knew that his words had changed the thoughts in these two people's hearts.

"If you agree, we can try a secret pilot project in ancient India. Anyway, even their country's upper echelons don't care about the lives of those civilians," Bai Changyun smiled sinisterly. "We will definitely become pioneers in mastering perfectly mutated humans! In the future, only we will be able to survive on the Blue Star!"

A perfectly mutated Bai Jingyan single-handedly killed dozens of times his own enemies. If they could control an army composed of perfectly mutated humans, how much profit and status would they create in this apocalyptic world?

No one could resist this temptation. Perhaps in the near future, the entire Blue Star would become a living hell...
