Apocalyptic Flood: Sexy Beauty Neighbor's Midnight Plea for Food

Chapter 1528: Chapter 861: Genetic Lock

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan suddenly stood up, stared at Li Ting, and asked, “Are you saying that he needs to kill others to replicate their superpowers?”

“It’s not necessarily required to kill them.”

Li Ting shook her head: “Jin Shirong’s replication superpower isn’t just about simply touching the target to directly copy their superpower away.”

“He needs to open up their skull and examine the brain structure before he can replicate the other person’s superpower.”

“Generally speaking, once the skull is opened, it’s almost impossible for the person to survive, unless there’s an extremely powerful recovery power potion keeping them alive.”

Liang Yuan frowned deeply, brain surgery to replicate superpowers?

He couldn’t help but think about the gravity version of Jin Shirong, where did he replicate his control over the gravity field from?

That Hu Wei isn’t dead, and he is still one of the Ten Board Members.

And Jin Shirong’s cloning ability was most likely obtained from Wu Yaobang.

There’s no way Wu Yaobang’s body has already been operated on by Jin Shirong, right?

This is somewhat inconsistent with Li Ting’s statement.

Liang Yuan suspiciously looked at Li Ting and asked, “How do you know these things?”

Li Ting looked at Liang Yuan and solemnly said, “I’ve been by his side longer than anyone else, so naturally, I know better.”

“I’ve personally seen him open other people’s skulls and study there.”

“Although he has never publicly disclosed his superpowers, as his enemy, I naturally keep a close watch.”

Liang Yuan suddenly asked, “Where did Jin Shirong get his gravity superpower from?”

Li Ting was slightly startled, then immediately replied, “There’s a person in the board named Hu Wei, who excels in gravity superpowers, maybe he got it from him.”

Liang Yuan shook his head: “No, according to your statement, Jin Shirong needs to operate on Hu Wei before he can replicate the superpower.”

“But Hu Wei isn’t dead!”

“Your statement doesn’t make sense.”

Li Ting was immediately stunned, not knowing what was going on.

Liang Yuan asked again, “Do you in Meng Ya have a person named Wu Yaobang? His ability is cloning.”

Upon hearing this, Li Ting immediately nodded, “Yes, I tried hard to secure this person back then, but he, like Jin Shirong, was arrogant and even tried to negotiate terms with me. He wanted me to be with him so he could take control of Meng Ya and kill Jin Shirong.”

“Later, after I was captured, I don’t know what happened to him. Have you seen him?”

Liang Yuan looked at Li Ting and suddenly asked, “When were you captured by Jin Shirong?”

“About half a year ago, my conflict with him had reached an irreconcilable point. Another important reason was that my cultivation progress was much faster than his.”

“He was afraid I would surpass him, so he captured me and sealed my body, preventing me from genetic recombination.”

Liang Yuan couldn’t help but shake his head and said, “Your information is too closed off, Jin Shirong has already mastered the clone superpower, and this time he attacked our Yangshan Island shelter with three clones.”

“The genetic recombination progress of these three clones has already exceeded 80%, one became a Vajra Giant after genetic recombination, another became a gravity field gene beast with a dragon head and turtle body, and the third a three-headed lizard giant dragon mutant beast.”

“Do you know how he managed to have different clones cultivating different superpowers?”

“What? He has mastered the clone superpower? And the clones are this strong?”

Li Ting, evidently unaware of the situation outside, was greatly shocked.

It was clear that in the six months she had been captured, Jin Shirong’s cultivation progress had advanced by leaps and bounds.

In such a short period, not only had he mastered more superpowers, but he had also thoroughly controlled Meng Ya.

Li Ting clearly knew nothing about these matters, and she didn’t even know the few questions Liang Yuan had just asked.

Liang Yuan shook his head and said, “Miss Li Ting, Jin Shirong and Meng Ya, it seems you aren’t aware, come on, let me have someone take you for a rest.”

Li Ting heard this and frowned deeply. She couldn’t just leave like that.

Now, although she escaped from Jin Shirong’s clutches, her foundation still lay in Jin Shirong’s hands.

To reclaim Meng Ya, she must find someone who can compete with Jin Shirong to back her up.

More importantly, her physical body is now sealed, unable to undergo genetic recombination, and this is the critical issue.

At present, it seems that the Yangshan Leader, Liang Yuan, is genuinely someone who could help her.

Thinking of this, she hurriedly blocked Liang Yuan: “Mr. Liang, although I haven’t been with Meng Ya for half a year, I should still be familiar with the people in Meng Ya, and I even know important locations there.”

“If you ever need to deal with Jin Shirong, I can be of great help.”

Liang Yuan, upon hearing this, looked at her and understood what the woman meant.

He smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll definitely call you over to help if there’s a need.”

Li Ting felt somewhat helpless upon hearing these words.

She could clearly discern that Liang Yuan was brushing her off, evidently not taking her seriously.

She thought for a moment and said, “Wait, Mr. Liang. I still want to make a deal with you.”

“Oh?”

Liang Yuan stopped, surveyed Li Ting up and down.

“A deal?”

“Yes, I know you want to save your friend and resolve the after-effects of the aphrodisiac.”

“I know someone who can help, but before that, I would like Mr. Liang to help me unlock the seal within my body.”

Liang Yuan thought for a moment and asked, “What kind of seal did Jin Shirong place on you? To be honest, I have never heard of such a power before.”

Li Ting replied, “I don’t know where Jin Shirong duplicated this ability from, he calls this power ‘Genetic Lock,’ which can lock human genes and prevent gene recombination, transforming into a Genetic Giant Beast.”

Liang Yuan was astonished upon hearing this.

The world of superpowers truly is full of wonders, anything is possible.

He became interested and asked, “What type of superpower is this?”

“It should be a Spirit Class superpower.”

“Using Spiritual Power to lock the genes within the target’s body, forming a Genetic Lock.”

“As long as the person with the Genetic Lock, their Spiritual Power is not stronger than the master of the Genetic Lock, they cannot break free from it.”

Li Ting, with an unpleasant expression, said.

Liang Yuan pondered and said, “Does this Genetic Lock target only gene recombination?”

“Of course not, the Genetic Lock locks genes, if the person being locked is still at the Genetic Species stage, they will never be able to enhance their power.”

“And if they’ve already reached the Genetic Reorganization Realm, after being locked, they can’t undergo gene recombination but can still use the power of the Genetic Species Level.”

Liang Yuan, upon hearing this, said, “So you want me to help you unlock the Genetic Lock?”

“Yes, Mr. Liang, please help, in return, I can find the person I mentioned and persuade her to assist you.”

“Besides that, I can go to Sprout, I have many old friends there, most of them are probably under Jin Shirong’s pressure and forced to stay in Sprout, under his command.”

“If I can go back and convince them, perhaps they will defect to your side.”

Li Ting, with burning eyes, looked at Liang Yuan and presented her conditions.

Liang Yuan thought about it, then suddenly laughed and said, “Alright! Then tell me how to unlock the Genetic Lock.”

Li Ting, thrilled, promptly said, “Unlocking the Genetic Lock isn’t difficult, just need Spiritual Power stronger than Jin Shirong.”

“There are two ways to unlock this Genetic Lock. One way is to have the related Genetic Lock Rune, only then can it be unlocked.”

“This method is considered the official way to unlock, but I don’t have the Genetic Lock Rune, so we can only use the second way.”

“The second way is to forcibly destroy the Genetic Lock using Spiritual Power!”

Li Ting looked at Liang Yuan and said, “We’ll use the second way.”

Liang Yuan, upon hearing this, slightly frowned and asked, “Does this method not cause harm to you?”

Li Ting bitterly smiled, “It certainly does cause harm, but it’s only some pain.”

“I myself am already a master at the Genetic Reorganization Level, my control over genes is relatively strong.”

“If a superpower user who hasn’t reached Genetic Reorganization uses this method to unlock, it might cause gene collapse when destroying the Genetic Lock.”

Liang Yuan slightly nodded and said, “Since you understand the risks, I can help you, but I need to go arrange some things outside; once I’m done, you can find me.”

Li Ting nodded, “Of course.”

Liang Yuan immediately left the conference room and held a brief meeting with Ding Yan, Zhao Kai, Li Qinghua, and others to arrange follow-up tasks.

Meanwhile, Zhao Kai said, “Brother Liang, Jin Shirong’s body has already been handed over to the medical department for autopsy.”

“The autopsy results should be ready soon.”

Liang Yuan slightly nodded and said, “Good, send me the results as soon as they’re ready.”

“Everyone, get busy.”

Li Qinghua took the women outside to find a place for them to settle down.

The conference room only had Liang Yuan and Ding Yan left.

Ding Yan asked curiously, “What did Li Ting say to you?”

“Is she really a board member of Sprout?”

Liang Yuan slightly nodded, “That’s what she said, and she told me quite a bit about Jin Shirong.”

“But her identity still needs verification, I will later ask Zhuang Shuyuan to interrogate those women.”

“Additionally, please ask Yu Wentao and others if there’s really someone like her on the Sprout board.”

Ding Yan promptly nodded and said, “Alright, leave it to me.”

She paused for a moment and then asked, “That girl Yu Yan… is she alright?”

Liang Yuan glanced at her, sighed, and explained Lu Yuyan’s situation to Ding Yan.

Ding Yan’s expression immediately darkened, she cursed, “Jin Shirong, that beast, truly deserves to be torn to shreds!”

Liang Yuan said in a deep voice, “We will definitely settle this score, but Jin Shirong is indeed very strong.”

“The ability to duplicate superpowers is like a bug-level ability.”

“And he also duplicated Wu Yaobang’s cloning ability; we don’t know if his true body is hidden like Wu Yaobang’s.”
