The pet care she studied is the real animal control major, right?

Hearing his words, everyone's eyes were filled with disbelief. The first person to question was the one who had quarreled with the tribe leader at the beginning. He did not have a very good tone towards this outsider: "Human? You call that monster-like thing a human?"

Rockoff frowned. He actually didn't like the fact that these people called his Eve a monster. But at this moment, he didn't deliberately make a fuss about these two words. Instead, he said with certainty: "Yes, she is a human being, and she is a developing embryo."

After hearing Rockoff's words, a woman raised her hand silently. She said cautiously, "Mr. Rockoff, even if you say she is a human embryo, in my impression, human embryos don't look like that..."

Rockoff was seldom told that there was someone in the village who knew some biological knowledge. He looked at her with relief and said, "Yes, she is a special embryo. Don't worry, even if she can't grow up normally, she won't become a monster. At most, she will..." He paused and said the two words with some difficulty: "Death."

"How can you guarantee that?" Everyone still did not trust Rockoff's words at all. They preferred to believe their own eyes.

That ball of flesh was really chilling, and it looked like a symbol of bad luck and disaster.

"If she turns into a monster, I will kill her myself." Rockoff said calmly, as if he had made the decision long ago, but had never fully expressed the idea.

Faced with his promise, everyone was skeptical.

After all, everyone could see how much Rockoff cared about that ball of flesh, and asking him to give up that strange thing was tantamount to asking for his life.

The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment, and finally it was the patriarch who spoke first to break the tense atmosphere.

"How about this, I'm willing to believe Rockefeller. How about we give him a deadline? If you say she's human, then we'll give her a year. If she still can't hatch after a year, then please kill her with your own hands."

Upon hearing this, Rockoff agreed readily, but Qin Jiu on the side could see Rockoff's plan.

No one dared to guarantee that the experimental subject could hatch within a year. The time wasted in the previous eight experiments was calculated in years, and a year was just a very short gap for an experiment.

Rockoff agreed without hesitation because he wanted to calm the fears of others and allow himself to have a safe experimental site for the time being. If Eve did not hatch after a year, he would find a chance to leave secretly in advance.

No matter what, he would never kill Eve while she was still in the incubation stage.

Everyone's eyes wandered between the clan leader and Rockov. After thinking about it, they still couldn't find a better way to refute the two's proposal. So most people voted in favor, and only a few people disagreed with this approach, but because of the principle of minority obeys majority, they had to leave in disappointment.

After the crowd dispersed, there was no one in front of the patriarch's house.

Rockoff thanked the clan leader, but the clan leader waved his hand and said, "Don't thank me, I'm just gambling. Or... I'm using you too."

Hearing this, Rockoff raised his eyebrows slightly. He was not annoyed at all for being used. Instead, he showed a happy smile.

"That's even better. I don't believe in unconditional kindness. A relationship of mutual benefit can go a long way."

The patriarch laughed heartily. Apart from the guidance of the sun god, he personally admired Rockoff.

Although they live in the mountains, they are not completely disconnected from the outside world. They also have entertainment and need to go out to the big malls to buy things.

Naturally...he also knew Rockoff's identity.

——A wanted criminal.

It's just that they don't care much about interstellar affairs. Rockoff is wanted in the name of a rebel, but after getting along with him for a while, he gives people the feeling of being more like a mad scientist rather than a rebel who does all kinds of evil.

So the patriarch did not drive him away, but helped him conceal his identity so that he could indulge in his experiments.

The clan leader had some extraordinary perception abilities. He could feel that the ball of flesh was not a threat to them. On the contrary, he had a vague feeling that the ball of flesh might be helpful to them in the future.

Qin Jiu could read this information from the tribe leader's daily interactions with Rockoff. She knew that the tribe leader did not hate the experimental subjects. He provided a lot of help for the experiment. If it were not for his help, Rockoff might not have been able to continue the experiment and get the current results.

Therefore, Rockoff always respected the patriarch. Although the patriarch could not discuss the content of the experiment with him like Fei Qixia, he also liked the role of patriarch.

After an unknown amount of time, the ball of flesh finally showed obvious human features. Her originally uncovered large black eyeballs were now covered by her evolved eyelids. She had grown limbs, but no distinct knuckles. Her head took up a large area, even twice as large as her body.

Because she finally looked like a human, the tribesmen who occasionally passed by and secretly looked in gradually let down their guard against Rockoff. The two people who were still quarreling had no place to vent their dissatisfaction, so they had to deliberately stay away from this room on weekdays.

Qin Jiu's hand reached through the bottle and grasped the human-shaped substance with one hand.

She was so small, only the size of Qin Jiu's hand. But she was so tenacious, and still thrived in such a difficult environment.

why?

A question arose in Qin Jiu's mind.

Why could she grow up in such a difficult environment? In Qin Jiu's memory, Eve had to be carefully cared for by the experimental team to barely survive?

Did something else happen to Eve?

While Qin Jiu was thinking, he suddenly heard a voice that he hadn't heard for a long time.

"Why don't you contact my brother? He's worried about you..."

Rockoff was fiddling with the terminal page, and Qin Jiu leaned over to take a look - it was Dean Lu's name.

She had learned from the conversation between Dean Lu and Fei Qixia that Dean Lu and Rockefeller had known each other for a long time, but this was the first time she appeared in the memory left by Rockefeller.

Perhaps for Rockoff, Dean Lu was not a particularly important person in his life, and Dean Lu had always been wishful thinking.

Before Qin Jiu had time to lament Dean Lu's pity, he heard a new voice message from Dean Lu: "Okay, okay, even if you don't want to contact my brother, you have to care about your experimental subjects, right?"

Qin Jiu raised his eyebrows. As the words "Speaking" above the dialog box disappeared, another voice message popped up on Rockoff's terminal page.

"Did you know? Eve already has a human outline!"
