The Great Flood of the End of Time: Female Neighbor Comes to Borrow Food

Chapter 861 Gene Lock

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan suddenly stood up, stared at Li Ting, and asked, "You mean, if he wants to copy someone else's superpower, he has to kill them first?"

"It doesn't necessarily mean you have to kill the other person."

Li Ting shook her head: "Jin Shirong's copying ability is not simply about making contact with the target and directly copying their ability."

"He needs to open the other person's skull to observe the brain structure before he can replicate the other person's superpowers."

"Generally speaking, once the brain is opened, the person is almost unlikely to survive unless there is a highly restorative drug to keep them alive."

Liang Yuan frowned. "Brain opening to replicate superpowers?"
He couldn't help but think of the gravity version of Jin Shirong; where did his gravity field control come from?
Hu Wei is not dead; in fact, he is one of the top ten directors.

Jin Shirong's ability to create clones was most likely obtained from Wu Yaobang.

Surely Wu Yaobang's brain couldn't have already been operated on by Jin Shirong, could it?
This differs somewhat from Li Ting's statement.

Liang Yuan looked at Li Ting suspiciously and asked, "How do you know all this?"

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

"I have personally witnessed him opening up other people's skulls and studying them."

"Although he has never spoken publicly about his special abilities, as his enemy, I naturally keep a close eye on him."

Liang Yuan suddenly asked, "Where did Jin Shirong get his gravity ability?"

Li Ting was slightly taken aback, then said, "There's a guy named Hu Wei on the board of directors. He's skilled in gravity-related abilities, so it's possible that I got it from him."

Liang Yuan shook his head: "No, according to you, Jin Shirong needs to open Hu Wei's skull before he can replicate his superpowers."

"But Hu Wei is not dead!"

Your argument doesn't make sense.

Li Ting froze on the spot, not knowing what was going on for a moment.

Liang Yuan then asked, "Does your Budding Sprouts have a person named Wu Yaobang? His ability is to create clones."

Upon hearing this, Li Ting immediately nodded: "Yes, I tried my best to win over this person, but he was similar to Jin Shirong, arrogant and actually tried to negotiate with me, wanting me to be with him so that he could control the budding problem and kill Jin Shirong."

"After I was arrested, I don't know what happened to him. Have you seen him?"

Liang Yuan looked at Li Ting and suddenly asked, "When were you arrested by Jin Shirong?"

"About half a year ago, the conflict between him and me had reached an irreconcilable point. Another important reason was that my cultivation progress was much faster than his."

“He was worried that I would surpass him, so he arrested me and sealed my body to prevent me from undergoing genetic recombination.”

Liang Yuan shook his head and said, "You're too out of touch. Jin Shirong has mastered the ability to create clones. He attacked our Yangshan Island shelter with three clones at the same time."

"The genetic recombination progress of these three clones has exceeded 80%. One of them will become a giant, another will become a gravitational field gene beast with a dragon head and turtle body, and the last will become a three-headed lizard dragon mutant beast."

"Do you know how he managed to have different clones cultivate different superpowers?"

"What? He has the ability to create clones? And his clones are this powerful?"

Li Ting was clearly unaware of the situation outside and was shocked.

Clearly, during the six months she was arrested, Jin Shirong's cultivation progress had already made rapid progress.

In just six months, he not only mastered more superpowers, but also completely mastered the budding stage.

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

Liang Yuan shook his head and said, "Miss Li Ting, it seems you don't know anything about Jin Shirong and Mengya. Let's go, I'll have someone take you to rest."

Upon hearing this, Li Ting frowned deeply; of course, she couldn't just leave like that.

Although she has escaped from Jin Shirong's clutches, her business empire is still in his hands.

If she wants to reclaim Mengya, she needs to find someone who can rival Jin Shirong as her backer.

More importantly, her physical body is currently sealed, preventing genetic recombination, which is the fatal flaw.

Right now, it seems that Liang Yuan, the leader of Yangshan, is the one who can truly help her.

Thinking of this, she quickly stopped Liang Yuan: "Mr. Liang, although I have been away from Mengya for half a year, I should still be quite familiar with the people in Mengya, and I even know which important locations Mengya has."

"If you want to deal with Jin Shirong in the future, I can be of great help."

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

He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll definitely ask you to come and help if I need anything."

Li Ting felt somewhat helpless upon hearing this.

She could tell, of course, that Liang Yuan was just giving her the runaround and clearly didn't take her seriously.

She thought for a moment and said, "Wait a minute, Mr. Liang. I'd like to make another deal with you."

"Ok?"

Liang Yuan stopped and looked Li Ting up and down.

"trade?"

"Yes, I know you want to save your friend and get rid of the aftereffects of the aphrodisiac."

“I know someone who can help, but before that, I would like to ask Mr. Liang to help me remove 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 an ability before.”

Upon hearing this, Li Ting said, "I don't know where Jin Shirong copied this ability from. He calls it the 'Gene Lock,' which can lock human genes, preventing gene recombination and turning people into gene behemoths."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan was immediately astonished.

There are all sorts of superpowers in this world, you can find anything.

Intrigued, he asked, "What type of superpower is this?"

"It should be a mental ability."

"Use mental power to lock the genes in the target's body, forming a gene lock."

"As long as a person with a genetic lock is not as strong as the person with the genetic lock, they cannot break the genetic lock."

Li Ting said with a grim expression.

Liang Yuan seemed to be deep in thought, and asked, "Is this gene lock only for gene recombination?"

"Of course not. The gene lock locks genes. If the person whose genes are locked is still in the genetic stage, they will never be able to improve their strength."

"If one has already reached the level of gene recombination, then being locked by the gene lock will only prevent gene recombination, but one can still use the power at the gene level."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan said, "So you want me to help you unlock your genetic lock?"

"Yes, please help me, Mr. Liang. In return, I can help you find the person I mentioned and persuade her to help you."

“Besides that, I can also go to Sprout, where there are many of my old friends. Most of them are probably threatened by Jin Shirong’s youth and have no choice but to stay in Sprout and be driven by him.”

"If I can go back and persuade them, perhaps I can get them to come to your side."

Li Ting looked intently at Liang Yuan and stated her terms.

Liang Yuan thought for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "Alright! Then tell me first, how do we unlock this gene lock?"

Li Ting was overjoyed and quickly said, "Unlocking the gene lock is not difficult, as long as your mental strength is stronger than Jin Shirong's."

"There are two ways to unlock this genetic lock. One is through the genetic lock runes that are already related, which is the only way to unlock it."

“This method is a legitimate way to unlock it, but I don’t have the gene lock rune, so we can only use the second method.”

"The second method is to forcibly destroy the gene lock using mental power!"

Li Ting looked at Liang Yuan and said, "Let's use the second method."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuan frowned slightly and asked, "Won't this method harm you?"

Li Ting smiled wryly: "There is definitely some damage, but it's just some pain."

"I am already a master of gene recombination, and my control over genes is relatively strong."

"If a superhuman who has not achieved gene recombination tries to unlock the gene lock in this way, it is very likely to cause gene collapse while destroying the gene lock."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Since you understand the risks involved, I can help you. However, I need to go out and arrange some things. Come find me when you're done."

Li Ting nodded: "Of course."

Liang Yuan then left the conference room and held a brief meeting with Ding Yan, Zhao Kai, Li Qinghua, and others to arrange the aftermath.

At the same time, Zhao Kai said, "Brother Liang, Jin Shirong's body has been handed over to the medical department for autopsy."

"The autopsy results should be available soon."

Liang Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, send me the results as soon as they are available."

"Let's all get busy."

Li Qinghua took the women outside and arranged for them to stay.

Only Liang Yuan and Ding Yan remained in the conference room.

Ding Yan asked in confusion, "What did Li Ting say to you?"

"Is she really a director of Mengya?"

Liang Yuan nodded slightly: "That's what she said, and she also told me a lot about Jin Shirong."

"However, her identity still needs to be confirmed. I will have Zhuang Shuyuan interrogate and investigate those women later."

"Also, could you please ask Yu Wentao and the others at the Mengya Board of Directors if there really is such a person?"

Ding Yan nodded immediately and said, "Okay, leave it to me."

She paused for a moment, then asked, "Is Yu Yan... alright?"

Liang Yuan glanced at her, sighed, and told Ding Yan about Lu Yuyan's situation.

Ding Yan's face immediately darkened, and she cursed, "Jin Shirong, that beast, deserves to be torn to pieces!"

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

"The ability to copy is practically a bug-like, heaven-defying ability."

"Moreover, he also copied Wu Yaobang's ability to create clones. It is still unknown whether his original body is also hidden away like Wu Yaobang."
