Chapter 152: Life on the Ship and Shengjilesi

Shengjilesi?

In Sui Bian's mind, the image of a youth who liked sunshine and smiled flashed by.

The DivineBody of the OriginalBodies is a product gathered by Umbrella's top-tier researchers; although it does not reach the level of giving their all, it is still a "giant biological weapon" created with substantial resources.

The DivineBody is not simply a product of cloning Lilith or Ares; rather, it is an exclusive weapon incorporating each OriginalBody's own genes.

If the DivineBody of his son were to mutate, Sui Bian would feel somewhat relieved.

He pondered after a brief silence.

"Rebecca, how do you view the mutation?" Sui Bian asked.

"The DivineBodies of the other children have stable data across the board, and Shengjilesi's is likewise stable in data, but it stands out much more than the other nine children."

"Furthermore, from our analysis we have drawn a conclusion: Shengjilesi's DivineBody appears to have acquired a certain degree of... flight capability."

Rebecca, standing at the other end of the holographic screen, spoke to Sui Bian with a strange expression.

After all, a sudden mutation of the DivineBody is a major accident for her as a researcher, yet all the data show that the DivineBody that underwent this accident actually received a positive enhancement.

"Even if the data are stable, close observation is still required." Sui Bian said.

"We have not let our guard down; we are currently conducting another scan, trying to find the source of the DivineBody's mutation."

At this moment, Rebecca had regained the composed demeanor expected of a top-tier Umbrella researcher, and was reporting to Sui Bian.

"However..." Rebecca said at the end, then made a request to Sui Bian: "If we could bring Shengjilesi to the research center, we should be able to find the cause of the mutation more quickly."

"Alright, I will take him and the other OriginalBodies to Gobekli." Sui Bian had no objection.

He then asked: "Any other situation?"

"Nothing for now." Rebecca said, shaking her head lightly.

"Then let's leave it at that for now."

"Alright..."

After the communication ended, the office returned to tranquility.

"Sir." Before Sui Bian could say anything, the White Empress proactively asked: "Do you need me to contact Captain Kaise?"

"Hmm, those kids have been up there for five months; it's time to bring them back."

Sui Bian nodded and gave a faint response; his tone showed no emotional fluctuation, but his eyes looking out the window faintly revealed anticipation.

From the White Empress's perspective, however, she could not observe Sui Bian's front face.

"Understood, sir." Having received permission, she only concerned herself with arranging communication with the DawnGuardian.

…

At this time, Earth's back side faces the sun.

On the surface, people experiencing midnight can look up to see the splendid sight of twinkling stars.

Approximately 500 kilometers above ground is the near-Earth orbit.

Without atmospheric refraction, the stars scattered throughout the universe will not twinkle, but here one can better appreciate the beauty brought by the sea of stars.

And the DawnGuardian with its optical camouflage activated is currently in the near-Earth orbit on the side facing away from the sun.

The internal space of the vessel is theoretically quite spacious.

But the fully enclosed design genuinely gives those living here a strong sense of confinement; even with numerous portholes, it cannot dispel this feeling.

Fortunately, the vessel's top has many panoramic cabins, allowing people to immerse themselves in a universe-like view of Earth or deep starry space, alleviating the oppression of the confined space.

The hangar located in the lower middle part of the hull occupies the largest portion of the vessel's internal space,

the hangar deck is divided into bottom, middle, and upper three layers.

Each layer is equipped with ten retractable, position-adjustable large mechanical arms along tracks, used to move the carrier-based Hawk and Seagull craft, or other cargo needing to be lifted and transferred.

Furthermore, each side of each deck has four large decompression chambers,

the middle and upper decks are specifically for parking the smaller-volume Falcon interceptors and other small craft,

while the lower deck parks the larger Seagull craft and stacks large amounts of supplies and other equipment, making this area also the most spacious on the ship.

Ground personnel wearing white and red safety helmets and multi-pocket vests are currently inspecting the craft and equipment according to routine.

From time to time, a yellow-painted tow truck hauling materials or equipment passes across the deck.

As the ship's most spacious deck area, this is also the ideal location for the Olympus Spear and HellParatroopers to maintain physical training.

"Paratroopers! Let those spearheads see what a true warrior is!"

"Yes, sir!"

Only see dozens of HellParatroopers in black training uniforms performing high-intensity combination exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups, and leg kicks.

Opposite the paratroopers are roughly equal numbers of Olympus Spear members doing the same combination; the two sides seem to have started comparing due to some bet or teasing.

Clearly, the paratroopers have the edge in physical fitness.

Besides these two groups competing against each other, the hangar also has many MTF units conducting endurance training by squad or platoon.

Actually, this time period is considered "morning" for most people aboard the DawnGuardian.

Consequently, the hangar now appears quite lively.

Also participating in the "morning" activity alongside the MTF are ten OriginalBodies.

Each OriginalBody wears an oversized fitting training uniform, or spars with brothers to test strength, or follows ground personnel in inspecting craft and equipment.

One of them seems not to favor intense exercise, but is instead conferring with the overall commander of the Olympus Spear, drawing more guidance from the older generation.

At the far right end of the lower deck.

Not far from the tail cabin of a Seagull craft.

"Shengjilesi, we can teach you, but your brothers' things are already gone; what remains is up to you yourselves. Hehe, I must say, humanity having you kids is truly a blessing."

Like Michel·Victor, who always wears a red beret and has a white beard, speaking with a Russian accent, he looks up at the OriginalBody standing before him and sighs.

The OriginalBody in front of Wei Ke Duo had slightly long blond hair, an extremely handsome appearance, and a height of an astonishing 3.3 meters, but its body proportions were standard, possessing both strength and beauty.

This person, it was Shengjilesi who surpassed all brothers in appearance.

"Thank you, Lieutenant Colonel, for your guidance these past days." Shengjilesi said with a rather sunny smile: "We are like this because of our father, in fact, humanity's true fortune lies in having a dedicated and responsible commander like Lieutenant Colonel."

"I can't accept such praise! Haha~!"

Hearing Shengjilesi's words, as refreshing as a spring breeze, Wei Ke Duo couldn't help but laugh heartily.

?

Suddenly, Shengjilesi's expression tightened, as if Shengjilesi had sensed something.

"Please have all OriginalBodies report to the bridge immediately." At that moment, the hangar broadcast transmitted Captain Kaise's voice.
