Journey to the West: Life Simulation of Sun Wukong

In the corridor, 035 and 069's eyes flickered and they stepped aside to clear the path.

Other clones wanted to step forward but were stopped by 035 and 069.

Among the clones, the codename was King.

Clones with earlier codenames could command those with later ones, a mental imprint from brainwashing that no clone would contest.

Thus, Su Jie and Zhang Manman swaggered into the corridor's interior.

However, to open the gate, they needed permission.

Su Jie spat out a sword pellet that transformed into a flying sword, emitting a blade of light that instantly sliced through the ten-meter-thick alloy gate, while a shrill alarm also echoed throughout the underground facility.

But both of them did not care and swaggered inside.

The clones guarding the corridor entrance turned a deaf ear.

Beyond the gate was a vertical passage leading to the lower levels; it was supposed to be an elevator shaft, except that they had forcibly entered, bypassing the elevator space.

Su Jie looked up and, not spotting the elevator car, concluded that it must be below; waiting for the elevator was now futile — they had to jump down.

"It's a bit dangerous," Zhang Manman squinted her eyes, "If the elevator comes up from below, it moves as fast as a high-speed train; you can withstand it, I certainly cannot."

Su Jie examined the structure of the elevator shaft and discovered it was an old-fashioned mechanical pulley structure, hence he cut the rope.

This ensured there wouldn't be any elevators coming up.

"Let's go down,"

Su Jie held the grooves on the edge of the elevator shaft and slowly climbed down step-by-step.

Jumping was definitely not an option.

From a height of a kilometer, even with his vitality rated at 49, jumping down would still hurt, better to climb down steadily.

It goes without saying for Zhang Manman; free falling from a kilometer high was tantamount to suicide.

"What was with those two guys just now?" Zhang Manman asked, "Did you hypnotize them? Normally, even if clones are hypnotized, their instincts should prevent us from entering. They were trained that way."

Though clones were human, they were trained like animals, with feeble spirits yet unwavering determination.

Hmm—

It could not really be called determination.

It was more accurate to say... they had all been brainwashed into holding extreme fanaticism in certain aspects, acting like mad dogs once someone crossed the lines set by their masters.

Yet, they did not quite look like they were under hypnosis.

"I provided them with the life of a human being," Su Jie said calmly, "Though they are clones with their own thoughts, those were suppressed by longstanding orders. I simply allowed their minds to grow, from infants to adults, taking on the role of their father."

In their mental space, Su Jie brought them joy, accompanied their growth, and made them understand that they too were humans with flesh and blood, not mere obedient tools.

They had awakened!

"Moreover, I gave them names," Su Jie said with profound meaning.

"What names?" Zhang Manman showed interest; after all, Su Jie had specifically mentioned it, it can't be without reason.

"Zeus, and Prometheus," Su Jie said slowly.

"God King Zeus from Greek mythology, and Prometheus, who stole fire," Zhang Manman was not very familiar with Greek myths but had heard these names and knew about their general identities.

Zeus overthrew his father Cronus and established a new rule.

"Do you want these two to rebel against Umbrella Corporation?" Zhang Manman asked.

Their situations are very similar to Zeus, aren't they?" Su Jie responded, "Zeus symbolizes the revolt against tyrannical rule, while Prometheus is about kindling the fire of hope."

"Well, it seems we have two insiders," Zhang Manman nodded, looking down into the pitch black, with only dim breathing lights flashing on the walls.

"Why don't you use Sword Flight?" Zhang Manman suddenly asked, "Besides, even if you don't use the flying sword, you should be able to fly, right?"

"That's possible," Su Jie nodded, "But according to your information, aside from various inhumane experiments, is there not a very powerful life form below?"

"Before we can determine what it really is, not a bit of power should be wastefully expended."

Zhang Manman thought about that entity, shivered with excitement, and said, "That creature is extremely powerful; my feeling is, it's no less formidable than Wang Chen back then, perhaps even stronger!"

"Therefore, we must be extremely cautious!" Su Jie's gaze was stern, "I think Umbrella Corporation wouldn't let it out either; an entity like that, with every move, could totally destroy this place."

Nobody wants a disastrous end.

Be it Aike or Robert, whom they had never met, both were businessmen and wouldn't make a losing deal...

...

In the conference room.

"It's confirmed, we are not caught in a hypnotic illusion."

Aike's gaze showed a trace of resentment.

These past days, he had been backstabbed several times by his own father, and it hurt a lot!

If it wasn't for his genetically enhanced regenerative capabilities, even a heart stab could have been survived, he would have fought that senile old man to the death.

"Impossible!"

Robert was puzzled, could they actually be in reality and not in a hypnotic illusionary world?

"But it is so, my father," Aike sneered, sitting with crossed legs, taking out a fruit knife, and trimming his fingernails.

[Beep beep beep!]

Just at that moment, the alarm suddenly went off.

Aike's face changed.

Robert immediately pressed the button on the remote, called up the surveillance, and discovered that someone had ripped a huge gap into the passage leading to the basement, while the guards on either side stood motionless.

"Those people were hypnotized, which is why they didn't move!"

In Robert's mind, those clones were the most loyal subordinates, more loyal than his son Aike, and would never betray him, so they must have been hypnotized to be unresponsive.

"Let's go!"

"We're going to the basement too!"

Robert stood up, leading Aike to another elevator.

"Father, should we—" Aike gestured around his neck, his intention unspoken.

"They are Ming Lun students."

Robert simply stated this, and Aike dared not say more.

They could invite Ming Lun students here for a visit, but they couldn't let them come to harm, especially since both were from the inner courtyard, even less so.

Otherwise, nobody could bear the wrath of Ming Lun.

Therefore, Robert planned to meet them himself, lay the cards on the table, and offer sufficient benefits. He liked a saying from the East – "Everyone hustles for profit, and everything hastens to it."

Even Ming Lun students couldn't escape worldly desires.

Fortunately, he had plenty of bargaining chips in hand!

At this moment.

Su Jie and Zhang Manman had already reached the lowest level, just above the elevator cabin.

Su Jie took out his flying sword, cut open the top of the elevator cabin, then jumped down and sliced through the elevator doors to make his way out.

Zhang Manman followed closely behind.

"Da da da!"

This chapter was uploaded by the team at M|VLEMPYR.

As soon as they exited, countless bullets came flying at them.

Clearly, Umbrella Corporation had made preparations.

But Su Jie's Qingping Sword swiftly flashed, blocking all the bullets, clinking incessantly.

When these identical clones began to reload, Su Jie's eyes widened, and all the clones fell down.

"Did you hypnotize them?" Zhang Manman asked.

"I just put them to sleep, I don't have the energy to wake so many people. The two earlier were just a whim," Su Jie explained, stepping over the sleeping clone soldiers and moving toward a light ahead.

This was a vast area equipped with various experimental devices.

Zhang Manman had been here once before using a thought body, so she seemed confident: "All the experiments underground are conducted in this space, separated by metal walls. However, it's very easy to get lost here since it connects in many directions."

Following Zhang Manman's lead, Su Jie arrived at the area where Spirit Rice was cultivated.

It was a garden.

In the blood-red pits, emitting a powerful stench, bubbles burst forth like the lava of hell, hard to face directly.

Su Jie frowned slightly, scanning the area. Above the flesh mud, stalks of white rice sprouted robustly, even blooming white flowers at their tips.

That fragrance, as though the sole purity amidst the stench.

Sacred!

Beautiful!

"Out of the mire but unstained, washes clean in the clear stream but not seductive."

Outside the garden, dressed in a white suit, Robert and his son, Aike, slowly approached, and the speaker was none other than Robert Nick.

"I admire Huaxia culture, especially 'The Love of Lotus'."

"Don't you think that the Spirit Rice we've developed embodies the most noble and sacred object!"

"Growing in the stench-ridden mud of flesh, yet possessing the purest and most sacred appearance, white, which represents the angels!"

Zhang Manman snorted coldly: "I just think you've gone mad."

Would normal people use flesh to plant food?

The modern age isn't a barbaric primitive civilization that worships sacrificial culture.

"Well, it seems you can't understand," Robert said with slight disappointment, "How about we make a deal? I can give you any resources you want, but please don't let this matter get out."

"What if I say no?" Zhang Manman said coldly.

"Then I will abandon this base," Robert said solemnly. "I naturally wouldn't dare lay hands on Ming Lun students, but without evidence, Ming Lun would find it difficult to pressure me."

Su Jie said, "You're underestimating Ming Lun."

Robert's eyes widened with a grunt. "I have never underestimated Ming Lun. On the contrary, I always regard Ming Lun as a dwelling of gods, it's just unfortunate that I can't go there myself. My body is too old, and what's more..."

"Your actions, going to Ming Lun would be like jumping into a net," Su Jie lifted his Qingping Sword, pointing it at Robert, "Turning back is the shore."
