Chapter 127: with translation of chapter title

Having grown another year older, the OriginalBodies have lost much of their youthful appearance, their gazes are firm, seeming more mature.

Translation: "The OriginalBodies, having grown another year older, lost much of their childishness on their faces, their gazes firm, seeming more mature."

We need to keep "OriginalBody" plural? The term "OriginalBodies" is the plural of OriginalBody. We'll translate as "OriginalBodies". Keep plural.

Now check: "The OriginalBodies, having grown another year older" -> "The OriginalBodies, having grown another year older". Good.

The biggest change is likely the OriginalBodies' height.

Translation: "And the biggest change should be the OriginalBodies' height."

If initially they were around two meters tall, one could still explain it with "astonishing bone structure," letting others barely accept that they were still somewhat normal, but now they are two meters six or seven

We can no longer blame their digestive and absorptive system's "innate talent," using the excuse that the more they eat, the more they grow

Moreover, the OriginalBody's proportions are well-balanced, their builds sturdy, nothing like the lanky frailty of gigantism

What's more, they are still underage children, which is absolutely outside the realm of normal humanity

Therefore, Sui Bian can no longer lead the OriginalBody into public view, nor can he participate in any normal recreational activities

"Hmm."

At this moment, Sui Bian nodded in response, then stepped before this group of sons who were nearly a meter taller than him, observing them with a noticeably upward gaze

And he asked, "How is the survival experience on Minos Island?"

"Not bad." Robert, whose voice was breaking, immediately replied, "Father, I think those new recruits should be able to adapt well to the new wilderness survival training."

"Getting your positive feedback shows the new bio-weapon is fairly reliable; good, then go wash up first—I'll take you all to Paris later." Sui Bian waved his hand

"Paris?"

The OriginalBody merely showed slight doubt, but without further questioning they all nodded, then turned and left for the barracks

Now Robert, John, and the other OriginalBody, after nearly three years of "father-son bonding" influence, plus Sui Bian's various teachings, have long since passed that period of confusion

As for the "new bio-weapon" Sui Bian mentioned, it is actually a technology developed by Umbrella using dinosaurs from a prehistoric planet for experiments, combined with the brain-programming experience provided by the Re-Creation Plan

A dinosaur's brain is far simpler than that of humans or the Iron Blood species, so the programming difficulty coefficient is not large

After special cultivation by the research team, their growth cycle has been greatly shortened, consuming far less time and material than cloning requires

Meanwhile, the production process for Re-Created Soldiers and Re-Created Iron Blood is complex, especially for Re-Created Iron Blood; currently the hive retains only three cat-faced clones as backup

But their positions differ

To ensure mass-production speed and stability, the controllable-type dinosaurs have not undergone virus or genetic-level modifications, making them a product Umbrella can quickly consume

They are commonly called cannon fodder

Currently, about a hundred controllable-type dinosaurs used for training have been deployed into the primeval forests of Minos Island

Under the strict order that they must not harm the recruits' safety, they serve to increase the recruits' wilderness survival difficulty while also enhancing their adaptability against abnormal creatures

As for testing, it is the OriginalBody who are responsible

After all, this is to prevent the OriginalBody from feeling stifled; it's essentially an alternative vacation Sui Bian gives these kids

After the OriginalBody left, Sui Bian asked again, "Hong Hou, what does the Paris research center say?"

Upon hearing this, Hong Hou projected her virtual image before Sui Bian and reported:

"The research center has already dissected three dead vampires, discovering that their bodily composition differs greatly from that of humans."

And after they used two live vampires for experiments, the preliminary inference is that this group of vampires seems able to share memories, even emotions, through some means

"Since they can share, conventional interrogation methods are almost ineffective," Sui Bian said in a low voice

"Yes, but the Paris research center says that if given enough time, they are confident they can fully decipher this special connection," Hong Hou added

"Enough time? Ask them exactly how long they need, and also, what does the Gobekli Power Research Center think of these vampires?"

"The Paris research center says they need at least ten days."

Hong Hou first answered the first question, paused, then continued:

"Doctor Rishik then said she has great interest in abnormal creatures and doesn't mind temporarily halting the God-Making Project to assist the Paris research center."

The Gobekli Power Institute, which discovered the remains of the living corpse Lilith and Ares' skeleton, has now been remodeled by the European Engineering Corps into the largest research center

Before arriving at Minos Island, Sui Bian had Hong Hou share the data obtained from Paris with the Gobekli Power side

As expected, Alekxia indeed showed interest in vampires and werewolves

"Good, have her rush to Paris as soon as possible."

"Yes, sir."

Having received the indication, Hong Hou immediately conveyed Sui Bian's order

October 25, 2001.

Early morning, 07:45.

The battle that took place on Rome's ViaCernaia Avenue has just ended less than five hours ago

Rome was greatly affected

Local news reports, police and government announcements, and major social networks online are all discussing topics such as the "arms smuggling case within Italy" and "internal strife within the smuggling gang"

Meanwhile, the discussion online is the most heated

Among them, the post title with the most replies is "The midnight battle is absolutely inseparable from MI6"

The poster analyzes that a large-scale smuggling organization would not easily suffer internal strife, which very likely indicates that MI6 (Military Intelligence, Section 6) agents are involved

No civilian casualties occurred, and Italy's leather hood special unit arrived first; all this shows that the British and Italian governments had actually made all preparations in advance

The post's heat only intensified

Especially since the British government and MI6 did not immediately come forward to deny it, this further sparked netizens' discussion, even leading them to fill in various details with speculation

Netizens would rather believe in dramatic agent involvement than trust official announcements or news reports

In fact, this is the work of intelligence agents lurking within the British and Italian governments, combined with Bai Hou and the Rome aftermath team jointly directing a "masterpiece"

The poster of the hottest post is none other than Bai Hou

Even the various initial reply posts were active users fabricated by Bai Hou

Bai Hou doesn't need to hire a "water army"; she herself is the water army, and the more developed the internet, the more she can steer public opinion

Paris, which shares no time difference with Rome, was nevertheless unaffected by the battle

The citizens of Paris go about their business as usual—going to school, going to work, or doing morning exercise.

City center.

The former Umbrella headquarters building stands here, and it is also one of the many landmark structures in Paris's city center.

And the research center beneath the former headquarters building.

Three underground levels.

It once interrogated the plague doctor, featuring white checkered floor tiles, white walls, and fixed metal tables and chairs inside the interrogation room.

At this moment, the female vampire who calls herself Saiyi Na Feng Ka Wen Di Xu sits bound by her hands and feet on a metal chair.
