Chapter 96
“Has the person not been caught yet?”
At the tenth floor of the Central Building in the Silver Capital of the Chenxing Empire, a special meeting was taking place. Participants included representatives from the royal family, cabinet, and parliament. Also present were the renowned Dr. Wells and Chandler, the director of the newly established “Special Affairs Management Bureau.”
In the midst of silence, Dr. Wells, known for his lack of tact, hastily spoke up. “It’s been three days already. How have they not captured him yet? This test subject is extremely important. He’s the only successful subject of the Transcendence Project so far. We absolutely cannot allow him to roam free or fall into the hands of other countries.”
“Rest assured, we’ve covered up the details of this incident with the ‘terrorist attack’ story. Even our own people believe they’re just hunting terrorists. Foreign intelligence agents won’t learn the truth so quickly, unless someone among us betrays the empire.” The speaker’s gaze swept across the room as he gently tapped the table. “I don’t think anyone here is that foolish.”
The so-called “Transcendence Project” had begun over a decade ago. Its main objectives were to promote human genetic evolution, break through the limitations of natural lifespan, and cultivate so-called super soldiers.
However, progress had been slow over the past few years. Even the imperial higher-ups who initially championed the project had grown increasingly indifferent. In the past two years, research funding had dwindled pitifully. If it weren’t for Dr. Wells’s unwavering commitment, the project would likely have been terminated long ago.
Until the resurgence of spiritual energy, the Transcendence Project finally saw a turning point.
Dr. Wells, who had invested over a decade in this project and seemed almost manic in his devotion, actually managed to produce some results that gave the imperial leadership hope.
Moreover, with the Yao Country actively promoting martial arts, the Chenxing Empire couldn’t sit idly by. Thus, the Transcendence Project, which aligned more closely with the Chenxing Empire’s approach, became their choice.
