Almost simultaneously, the walkie-talkie crackled and the signal fluctuated violently.
"She...she moved!" Su Nian screamed.
"A leap in biosignals!" Xiao Yin stared at the portable monitoring screen connected to the pickup truck. "Her brainwaves have surged from theta waves to alpha waves! She's waking up!"
Lin Wan's voice suddenly became calm:
"No, it's not her. It's the system responding to 'twin resonance.' What's truly awakening is—memories."
Her hand, which had been pressed against the cabin wall, slowly slid down, her voice as low as a murmur in her sleep:
“I finally understand. The M series is not cloning, but consciousness transfer. Chen Mingyuan didn’t want to resurrect people; what he wanted to do was to copy the consciousness of the dead into the bodies of the living. And I… am the vessel.”
"So you're not your mother," Su Nian choked back tears. "You're...her consciousness host?"
“Not entirely.” Lin Wan smiled. “I have my own memories, my own emotions. I just… inherited her obsession. And now, that obsession is fulfilled.”
She turned around and took one last look at the monitor screen.
In the scene, at the end of the corridor, a group of fully armed men in black are breaking through layers of iron doors. The leader is a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a badge of the Municipal Health Commission pinned to his chest.
“Fu Zhengyan…” Lin Wan sneered, “He’s finally here.”
"Who is he?!" Xiaoyin asked in surprise.
“Chen Mingyuan’s superior,” Lin Wan’s voice was as cold as ice, “also the person who approved the first human cryopreservation experiment. He’s not here to deal with the accident—he’s here to silence him.”
She quickly pulled a miniature memory device from her waist and inserted it into the base of the M-01 compartment.
“I copied all the data into the offline system. As soon as I press send, three low-Earth orbit satellites will broadcast the signal simultaneously, and any device in the world that can receive encrypted frequencies will receive the truth.”
"But you're underground!" Su Nian cried out, "They won't let you get out alive!"
“I don’t need to go out,” Lin Wan said softly. “I just need to—press the button.”
Her fingertip hovered above the red button, gazing silently at the face inside the cabin that resembled her own.
Chapter 1332 Putting Down the Storage
"Mom, did you hear that? This time, it's my turn to speak."
Suddenly, Fu Zhengyan's voice came through the walkie-talkie, broadcasting through the corridor's public address system; it was gentle yet cold:
“Su Ting, put down the memory. Your mother’s research is valuable; we can continue. You don’t need to sacrifice yourself.”
Su Ting laughed, a laugh that brought tears to his eyes.
“When I was five years old, my mother also heard this. She said, ‘Science doesn’t need sacrifices, it needs humanity.’”
Her fingertips fell.
[Data transmission initiated – Targets: Global dark web nodes, International Medical Ethics Committee, UN Human Rights Office]
The next second, all the lights in the hospital suddenly went out.
Only in cabin M-01 was a faint blue light shining.
Su Ting turned around to face the dark figure who burst through the door, his scalpel drawing a silver arc in the darkness.
"Hello?" She picked up the walkie-talkie, her voice carrying lightly across the airwaves to the ground.
"Can you hear me? I'll make you pay for this bowl of noodles sooner or later."
"Can you hear me? I'll make you pay for this bowl of noodles sooner or later."
The wind and snow howled in her ears. Su Nian knelt under the tin eaves, her fingers digging into the cracks of the walkie-talkie until her knuckles turned white. Xiao Yin suddenly lunged forward and snatched the equipment, her voice trembling: "Su Ting! Su Ting, say something! The signal's down! Down!"
“No…it hasn’t stopped.” Su Nian suddenly whispered, her eyes red-rimmed. “She’s still transmitting. We just can’t hear it anymore.”
Xiao Yin looked up and saw a string of green characters still slowly scrolling on the walkie-talkie screen: [Data packet sent | Node confirmed x3 | Tracking and blocking activated].
"She...really sent it out?" Xiaoyin murmured.
“She’s been preparing for this for a long time.” Su Nian bit her lip, her voice hoarse. “It started when she was five. It wasn’t about running away, it was about planting a seed. Now, the seed has exploded.”
In the distance, a blinding beam of light suddenly illuminated the horizon, piercing the dark clouds like a sword. Then came the second, the third—three low-orbit satellites completed their signal transition at their polar-synchronous points, spreading the encrypted data across the globe like a plague.
Cell phones, surveillance cameras, electronic screens, old radios... all devices capable of receiving frequencies simultaneously emitted a buzzing sound.
In an office building, an intern was scrolling through short videos when the screen suddenly went black, and a line of text popped up:
[WARNING: Illegal broadcast signal detected | Source: M-01Project | Play? Y/N]
He subconsciously clicked "yes".
The scene flashes: a dark blue freezer, a girl pressed against the glass, whispering, "I am Su Ting. My mother is not dead. I just... lived in her place for twenty years."
"What the hell is this?" The intern jumped up suddenly.
At the same second, in the emergency meeting room of the International Medical Ethics Committee, the chairman looked at the automatically uploaded video file, his face pale: "This project... should have been destroyed twenty years ago."
Meanwhile, underground in Zone B7.
Su Ting stood before the M-01 cabin, a scalpel held horizontally across her chest, its cold light reflecting off her pale face. The metal door was blown open, and Fu Zhengyan led his special agents in, all pointing their guns at her.
"One last time." Fu Zhengyan adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses, his voice gentle. "Hand over the memory, and you will still be the successor to the project. We can rebuild the M series and bring your 'mother' back to life."
Su Ting smiled, and with a flick of the knife tip, he cut his left palm.
Blood droplets fell, splattering a dark red stain on the floor.
“You have no idea who she is,” Su Ting said softly. “Do you think she’s data? A specimen? Code that can be copied and pasted?”
She raised her eyes and looked directly at Fu Zhengyan.
Chapter 1333 Run! Don't look back!
“She’s my mom. She’d hum songs when I had a fever, hide me under the lab bench, and shield me from the scanner’s radiation with her body—all so I could live one more day.”
She walked forward step by step, leaving a long trail of blood behind her.
"Do you know what she said to me in the end? It wasn't a formula, it wasn't a code, it wasn't some 'trans-hypothermal neural coupling parameter'—she said: 'Wanwan, run, don't look back.'"
Her voice suddenly rose in pitch.
"But I didn't run away. I came back. With her blood, her eyes, her memories—and the words she never finished saying!"
She suddenly raised her hand, lifting the blood-stained memory device high into the air.
"Did you hear that, Fu Zhengyan? This isn't data! It's an accusation! It's a dying wish! It's the heartbeat you thought could be frozen for thirty years, yet it's still alive!"
Fu Zhengyan's expression changed drastically: "Shoot! Shoot her hand!"
Gunshots rang out.
Su Ting spun around, a flash of light, and a steel cable snapped—the chandelier overhead crashed down, cutting off the fire. She rolled into the control panel and quickly pressed the last button.
[M-01 | Wake-up Procedure Initiated | Bioresonance Authentication Passed | Countdown: 03:00]
"What?!" Fu Zhengyan roared, "Stop! Stop immediately!"
“Too late.” Su Ting leaned against the wall, panting, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. “The twin resonance has been activated. Su Nian’s heartbeat is the key, and my blood is the fuse. Now, M-01 is about to wake up—not by you, but by ‘people’.”
Inside the cryogenic chamber, the eyelashes of the first Su Ting trembled violently, and his fingertips slowly curled up, like a sleeping butterfly finally about to spread its wings.
On the EEG monitor, the waveform jumped from α to β, the respiratory rate began to rise, and the body temperature slowly increased by 0.3 degrees.
[Neural connections are being established... 97%... 98%...]
Fu Zhengyan rushed toward the control panel like a madman, but was stopped by an electromagnetic barrier that suddenly rose up.
"That's impossible! The system won't listen to you!"
“It doesn’t obey your commands.” Su Ting smiled weakly. “It obeys the ‘Mother.’ And I am her last echo.”
She slowly slid down to the ground, gazing at the face behind the glass that was exactly like her own, and whispered:
"Mom, this time it's my turn to protect you."
Ground level, scrap yard.
Su Nian suddenly shuddered and looked up abruptly.
"What's wrong?" Xiaoyin asked.
"I...I heard it." Su Nian covered her ears, trembling. "There's a voice...calling me..."
Xiao Yin hurriedly turned on the monitor, her pupils shrinking sharply: "Su Ting's brainwaves! Suddenly spiked! He's responding to the underground signal! His nerves... are resonating!"
Su Nian rushed to Su Ting's side, grabbed his hand, and shouted, "Brother! Brother, wake up!"
Su Ting's lips trembled slightly, and finally, he managed to squeeze out a hoarse word:
"……read."
"Brother!" Su Nian cried out in anguish, "You heard me? You really heard me?"
Su Ting slowly opened his eyes, his gaze unfocused, yet persistently fixed on her face.
“I can still hear you…” he said weakly. “The fairy tales every night… the sound of you crying and begging the doctor to save me… I heard it all. It’s just… I can’t wake up.”
Xiaoyin knelt on the ground, tears streaming down her face: "They lied to us... They said 'faking death' meant death, but actually... they were listening the whole time!"
Su Nian whirled around, grabbed the walkie-talkie, and screamed into the ground:
