In the stairs leading to the underground laboratory, only a few indicator lights at the foot illuminated the way ahead, and the man's leather shoes made no sound as he stepped on the carpet.

He walked slowly to the door of the laboratory. The door was locked and the access control system next to the door emitted a dark red light, waiting to verify the identity of the next visitor.

The man stood in front of the access control panel and leaned forward slightly so that the frame of the glasses stuck on the tip of his nose would not block his eyes, revealing his irises.

The iris camera at the access control station turned several times, and after confirming the identity of the visitor, it issued a cheerful welcome voice: "Identity confirmed, allowed to pass. The door will be opened for you soon, Mr. Fei, welcome."

As the sound rang out, the originally closed door moved to both sides, revealing the scene inside the laboratory.

In the dim laboratory, there were only a few cold lamps emitting dim bluish-white light, which reflected a pale color on the experimenter's face.

As soon as he stepped into the laboratory, a chill hit him in the face, making him shiver uncontrollably.

This is to ensure the smooth progress of the experiment and to control the temperature deliberately adjusted by the central air conditioner.

He had long been accustomed to the coldness of the laboratory and had put on an extra coat before coming.

The door of the laboratory opened, and the experimenters stopped their work and looked up at the door. They found that it was Mr. Fei who came, and they respectfully called out, "Mr. Fei."

Mr. Fei nodded slightly in agreement. Without staying at the door for too long, he walked to the center of the laboratory, stopped, and slowly raised his head.

A faint red light reflected in his eyes as he stared at the huge water tank in front of him with fascination.

In the center of the laboratory, there is a large cylindrical water tank that connects the floor and ceiling of the laboratory. The tank is filled with light red transparent liquid.

There was a small ball of flesh suspended in the middle of the liquid. Looking closely, it looked like an unformed embryo. It could barely be seen in human shape, but without facial features or hands and feet.

There are countless pipes connected around the water tank, some of which are used to add nutrients to it, while others are used to record its changing data.

Like a huge nurturing organ.

There are a few words engraved on the bottom of the water tank:

Eve

"Mr. Fei."

While he was still immersed in the beautiful scenery before his eyes, a discordant sound suddenly interrupted and disturbed his elegance.

His eyes were slightly cold, and he silently cast an unfriendly look at the visitor.

The experimenter looked at him. The temperature in the already cold space seemed to drop a few degrees. He resisted the urge to shiver and handed a transparent light screen to the man.

There was dense data on the light screen, and the experimenter lowered his eyebrows, not daring to look at it.

"Mr. Fei, this is the energy fluctuation data of the experimental subject in the past month. The fluctuations are all concentrated in these two days." The experimenter pushed his glasses and pointed to a peak on the light screen, saying: "Since those two days, the energy of the experimental subject has approached zero and has not moved since then."

"Has the cause of the fluctuation been detected?"

The experimenter shook his head and answered reluctantly: "Not yet."

Mr. Fei stood there, flipping through the data page by page and observing it.

Every time Mr. Fei turned a page, the experimenter's nerves became tense. He saw the results of his colleagues last time. In Mr. Fei's mind, as long as they didn't produce results, it meant that they were useless, and the end of being useless was to become the food in the belly of the shadow.

Although we didn't get any groundbreaking results this time, at least we know that when the energy fluctuates, Eve's cell activity will increase.

Maybe the energy fluctuation is an opportunity for Eve to hatch, but they don’t know how this energy fluctuation occurred.

Mr. Fei returned the light screen to the experimenter, and rarely blamed him. "Dr. Cui, keep going. See if there is any way to replicate the energy frequency and stimulate Eve's development."

Dr. Cui took the light screen from Mr. Fei's hand and nodded repeatedly, feeling relieved that he had finally escaped a disaster.

Mr. Fei left the laboratory. Although the results were not satisfactory, he did make some discoveries.

The problem of Eve's hatching has troubled them for a long time, and it is not something that can be solved overnight. It is a good thing that the cells are beginning to show signs of activity. As long as they can find an energy source or replicate the energy frequency to stimulate Eve and cause Eve's cells that have been stagnant for 20 years to grow again, Eve may be born.

"Mr. Fei."

As soon as he walked out of the stairs, a man in a suit and a slicked-back hair stood respectfully in front of him, with the light screen in his hand still on.

Mr. Fei walked past him and asked, "What's the matter?"

The man followed Mr. Fei's steps and said as he walked: "This is the news from His Highness Jin Yu."

Mr. Fei stopped and turned to look at the man, his eyes full of interest: "Oh? Tell me about it."

The man nodded and read the contents on the screen for Mr. Fei: "His Highness Jin Yu sent people to Xirang Star to check the identity of this Qin Jiu. She is an orphan who grew up in Xirang Orphanage. Her origins are not clear at the moment. It is said that she was abandoned at the door of the orphanage in the middle of winter. The person who came put her down and knocked on the door and left. When the dean found her, there was no one else around her. Later, the dean took her in and raised her to adulthood."

Mr. Fei caught the problem: "It is said that? Is there surveillance?"

"Unfortunately, no. I heard that it snowed suddenly in Xirang that year, freezing some circuits. It just so happened that the orphanage had a power outage that day, and the backup power supply was also under maintenance, so the footage from that period is missing."

The temperature on Xirang rarely drops below zero in winter, and it has not snowed for hundreds of years. It is normal that some equipment is not designed for special circumstances.

Since the city-wide power outage, Xirang's electrical circuits were reinstalled and there has been no power outage since.

Makes sense, but a bit too coincidental.

However, Qin Jiu's matter was not the focus of their work. The focus now was to find a way to bring Eve into the world as soon as possible. Mr. Fei did not have so much energy to trace the origins of an orphan.

He shrugged and continued walking forward: "If there is a chance to contact, try to do it if you can."

The man lowered his eyes and responded, "Okay."

After a moment, he seemed to remember something, raised his head and said to Mr. Fei's back: "Mr. Fei, please wait a moment. There is one more thing about Qin Jiu."

Mr. Fei stopped again, turned around, and motioned him to continue with an impatient look.

"When we were investigating her identity, we found a medical report that was a bit strange." He turned on the light screen and turned to Qin Jiu's medical records.

The record on that page was exactly the record of her recovery at the Star King Hospital after being attacked by the alien beast.

Mr. Fei took the light screen, pushed up his glasses and put them on, and read the lines one by one.

As his eyes moved downward, his brows slowly furrowed.

“There is something wrong with this record.”
