Chapter 672: Extra 23

"How's the media coverage going?" Su Yun asked calmly, pulling himself out of his thoughts.
"Yes, flawlessly.
Moreover, the killing mechanism of the 'Helios' weapon is extremely sophisticated and bizarre; it directly severs vital signals at the neural level."
Anthony nodded.
"From a forensic perspective, most forensic doctors can't determine the true cause of death and can only attribute it to sudden cardiac arrest.
Moreover, from a macro-statistical perspective, the normal number of natural deaths on Earth every day is around 170,000."
On this massive base, the deaths of a few more "sudden heart attacks" scattered around the world...
are like pouring a glass of water into a vast ocean—they won't cause any ripples in the public eye.
Of course, all of this is predicated on the media not exposing it to those media outlets that thrive on chaos.
“However…” Anthony’s tone shifted, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
“Why did you specifically call me here today?
It couldn’t be just to listen to this dry data report, could it?”
Anthony Watson had secretly come to Gaia Base today, avoiding all his usual informants, precisely because he had received a top-level summons from Su Yun.
As a powerful figure in the Dark Night, he felt no displeasure at being treated like a dog by a young man.
Quite the opposite.
He was now rubbing his hands together excitedly, his eyes filled with anticipation.
He knew this young man all too well.
He was eager to know what kind of mind-blowing stimulation this perpetually daring genius would bring him this time!
“Mr. Anthony is indeed a smart man.”
Su Yun calmly opened a drawer and pushed a top-secret document in front of Anthony.
“The main reason I called you here today is to discuss this.”
Anthony glanced down at the cover.
“The Biological…Origin Project?” He read the words aloud, raising an eyebrow. “What is this?”
“Take a look first.”
“…”
Anthony eagerly opened the document, his gaze sweeping over the incomprehensible gene recombination sequences, neuronal telomere strengthening formulas, and human anatomy diagrams.
Less than a minute later, his weathered face contorted like a crumpled piece of paper, and then he slammed the report shut.
“Young Master, I’m a seasoned veteran of a complex global intelligence agency.”
Anthony chuckled wryly, rubbing his dry eyes.
“I’ve seen countless top-secret encrypted documents from various countries in my life, but this one…
I honestly can’t understand a single word! What the hell is all this scribbles?”
Su Yun was amused by his reaction and patiently explained:
“Simply put, this is cutting-edge research on pushing the limits of carbon-based biology, conducting deep muscle cell remodeling and strengthening, and optimizing the reaction speed of nerve endings in a superdimensional way.”
“…I see. If you had explained it this way earlier… it would have been no different from not explaining it at all.”
“If you had explained it in simpler terms…”
Su Yun looked into Anthony's eyes and said, word by word,
"You can think of it as us trying to mass-produce super soldiers like Captain America from Marvel movies."
"!?!"
Anthony's pupils contracted sharply. Only now, his bloodthirsty instincts as an intelligence chief were fully ignited, his intense interest overflowing.
"Since we've mastered this heaven-defying technology..."
Anthony stroked his chin, his voice unconsciously lowering,
"With Fang Huan's current strength, wouldn't it be better to just build a tireless, fearless robot army?
Why bother with the fragile human body?"
Su Yun shook his head:
"I've always believed that human potential is ultimately stronger than cold machinery.
Of course, this strength requires extreme biological modification of the body and deep integration with mechanical nanotechnology."
"Then why did you show me this secret today..." Anthony keenly sensed something.
"The experiment has entered the clinical phase, and I need people. A group of absolutely loyal volunteers."
Su Yun stated bluntly,
"A group of devout believers who, for Fang Huan's grand vision, can endure unimaginable suffering;
willing to undergo gene-editing drug injections and mechanical exoskeleton modifications, transforming themselves into super soldiers.
I imagine there are many guys in your 'Wildfire' unit who are filled with fanatical dedication to Fang Huan, aren't there?"
"Ha! You've really found the right people!"
Anthony, who had just dismissively pushed the report away, now looked as if he had seen a peerless martial arts manual...
He gripped the document tightly again, examining it with gleaming interest.
"Super soldiers... this is fucking exciting!
I can't wait to see those little brats become superheroes!"
Watching Anthony, who was as excited as a child, Su Yun simply sat in the shadows, a cold smile, tinged with the pitying pity of a superior, playing on his lips.
Foolish mortals.
In reality, packaging it as a "super soldier" is nothing more than throwing a bone to these vulgar people.
These fanatical believers sent to the operating table are, at best, merely conducting a large-scale human data collection experiment for his next, utterly insane final plan!
What he truly wants to do is create a perfect body with the power of immortality!
A transcendent body whose telomeres never wear down during cell division, never decay, never get sick, and is even immune to all physical and energy damage!
That is true immortality, which even those test subjects labeled "super soldiers" cannot shake in the slightest!
However, this is not a privilege that everyone is qualified to possess.
Throughout this vast world, in heaven and on earth, there is only one person qualified to possess it!
This will be a god-making plan tailored for the sole person who sits atop the throne of gods, his father, using all the resources of the world!
