【Chapter 447, Next plan】

What Qu Wanyue witnessed with her own eyes cannot be faked. Moreover, she used a chameleon card to integrate with the environment and secretly lurk at General Lin's house. No one will find her, so there is no possibility of intentional acting.

Calling out the name of "Yanyan" in nightmares, but you don't know each other at all when you get along with your daughter during the day? The biggest possibility is that Zhang Shaohua was pretending to be crazy, but she couldn't control her dream.

Xiao Lou looked at Qu Wanyue and said, "Zhang Shaohua stayed at home all day, didn't she go out? Will General Lin and Lin Yan visit her often?"

Qu Wanyue said: "General Lin seldom comes home, but Lin Yan would come to see her mother every afternoon, take her outside to bask in the sun, serve tea and water, squeeze her shoulders and beat her back. This girl is quite filial."

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang looked at each other, and at the same time came to a conclusion: "Doesn't Lin Yan know that she is a replicant?"

Qu Wanyue said: "It can't be seen that she is a clone, she really cares about her mother, it doesn't look like it's a show."

Xiao Lou thought about it carefully, and said: "The culture medium developed after the restart of the Noah's Ark project may have successfully controlled the growth rate of cells. For example, let a cell grow to 5 years old in a few days, or grow to 30 years old." age?"

Tang Ci walked over and said: "Assuming they added Zerg creep into the culture medium and freely controlled the growth rate of the cells, it would explain why the replicants of General Lin's family could appear at the same time. General Lin was 30 years old at the time, and his daughter was 5 years old. years old, the clones produced must also meet the age characteristics of a 30-year-old and a 5-year-old."

Lu Jiuchuan touched his chin and said, "That is to say, although the cells were taken at the same time, one catalyst is used more. In a short period of time, it will grow to 30 years old, and the other will grow to 5 years old. Then take them out of the culture medium , become a family?"

Xiao Lou nodded and said: "That's right, in this way, Lin Yan has stayed with her parents since she was 5 years old. Even if her parents are clones, she will have deep feelings for her parents. She probably doesn't know that she is a clone." clone."

Yu Hanjiang added: "General Lin probably doesn't know either. The real General Lin is dead, and this clone must obey His Majesty. In this way, no one can shake His Majesty's position."

Lu Jiuchuan crossed his arms and thought for a moment, then said: "Among the generals in the military department, Lin Zecheng has the highest prestige and has the best relationship with His Majesty, that's why when the queen was still alive, the prince and General Lin's daughter were engaged. "

Xiao Lou looked back at Qu Wanyue: "Has Lin Yan met His Royal Highness recently?"

"Yes. She went to the palace yesterday afternoon and said that His Royal Highness invited her to have dinner with her. She returned home at 9:30 in the evening and happily told Zhang Shaohua about it. But her mother Zhang Shaohua still had a dull expression. There was no response, and Lin Yan talked a lot to herself, praising His Highness for being gentle, a gentleman, and treating her very well." Qu Wanyue said.

"His Royal Highness?" Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang asked in unison.

"Yes, Long Sen came home on vacation yesterday. He told me that His Majesty has not mentioned to anyone about the prince's escape. What's even more strange is that when he was patrolling the palace yesterday, he saw 'Xiao Lou' walk into the double womb with his own eyes. According to the guards of Gemini, His Royal Highness has been staying in Gemini to study recently."

"It seems that after we escaped, His Majesty simply let the clone replace me." Xiao Lou didn't know how to evaluate the emperor, since he let the 5-year-old Xiao Lou participate in the cruel "natural selection" back then. It can be seen that he does not have any preference for Xiao Lou because Xiao Lou is the child born in October of the queen's pregnancy.

If Xiao Lou died in that selection, it is estimated that His Majesty would not shed a single tear, right?

Anyway, there are so many children who are exactly the same as Xiao Lou, for His Majesty, all replicants are his sons, there is no difference between biological and non-natural. One ran, and another.

"It may be that the death of the eldest prince stimulated him. His Majesty has already been mentally distorted. Otherwise, he would not agree to any Noah's Ark plan." Yu Hanjiang looked at Xiao Lou and whispered, "After all, this plan cannot If it is made public, he would not dare to find you with great fanfare, as if nothing happened, and letting the replicator replace you is the best way."

"Well, it's also possible that he will secretly send someone to look for me, and then kill us to silence it." Xiao Lou took a deep breath and said, "Teacher Qu, keep watching Lin Yan, and contact Mr. Shao if there is any trouble. "

"Understood." Qu Wanyue nodded towards everyone. When she found Liu Qiao, Gui Yuanzhang and Lao Mo, she couldn't help but happily said, "Have you found Xiao Liu and the others?"

"Well, they are all in the mermaid clan, and Xiao Liu is the mermaid princess." Xiao Lou said.

"No wonder you all turned into mermaids, and collectively grew tails. It turns out that Xiao Liu and the others are mermaids." Qu Wanyue glanced at her teammates, "By the way, why didn't you see Miss Huaying?"

"Sister Huaying, she..." Ye Qi was about to speak, when Xiao Lou suddenly interrupted him, "Huaying has another task, I asked her to go to the Palace of Azure Empire to investigate my sister's line, and she will come back tomorrow and the day after We meet."

"That's good, take care, and contact me anytime if you have any questions." Qu Wanyue cut off the video communication.

Ye Qi was very puzzled——Chu Huaying was obviously a wanted star thief, and he was driving the Dark Night starship near the blue planet waiting to pick them up. Why did Professor Xiao suddenly say that she was going to the Imperial Palace to investigate Princess Xiao Rou, and also explained that the day after tomorrow? Will she join everyone? Isn't this talking nonsense?

Xiao Lou must have his reasons for saying this, of course Ye Qi would not expose it, and consciously shut his mouth and backed away.

Arrived behind Shao Qingge.

Beside, Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci looked at each other, seeing a trace of doubt in each other's eyes, but quickly calmed down.

Xiao Lou walked towards Liu Qiao, and said softly, "Xiao Liu, Senior Gui and Lao Mo took the risk to rescue you. It has been more than two hours now, and the mermaid clone should have discovered that you were rescued. If He called on the people of the Mermaid Clan to come to you, saying that we hijacked the princess, we have many enemies with few, and we are not necessarily the opponents of the Mermaid Clan."

Liu Qiao nodded: "Well, there are hundreds of thousands of mermaid clansmen, and their attack power is not inferior to that of giant whales in the sea. If we really fight, we really won't be able to take advantage of it. Besides, this time the Chamber of Secrets does not mean that I will inherit the throne. Have you cleared the level? It is not the best choice to fight the mermaid directly. What is Professor Xiao's idea?"

Xiao Lou thought for a while and said, "I want to entrust you with a task, which requires you to take a risk."

Liu Qiao froze for a moment: "What task? Am I going alone?"

Xiao Loudao: "Of course I won't let you go on an adventure alone. It's best for Lao Mo and Senior Gui to go together. The three of you, first explore the way in the palace. It's best to find a laboratory for researching replicants. After finding the way , we can save a lot of time if we act again."

Yu Hanjiang nodded in agreement: "The transformation effect of the mermaid princess can only last for 8 hours. We have to find as many clues as possible within the limited time. We can't go around in circles in the maze. Find the way in advance to solve the battle quickly. .”

Xiao Lou looked at Gui Yuanzhang and Lao Mo, and said, "The three of you are originally mermaids, and you are very adaptable to the deep sea environment, and Lao Mo is the one with the strongest sense of direction among us. Wait until you find out the location of the laboratory. , let's go in together."

Lao Mo agreed straightforwardly: "No problem. I have explored half of the route to the Mermaid Palace. Now it is dawn, and most members of the Mermaid Clan will go to bed after dawn, which is just convenient for us to move."

Xiao Lou said, "We'd better wait until 24:00 to refresh the card skills. At that time, I'll put a peach blossom garden here to meet you. In case of danger, I'll send you back directly...I must guarantee that everyone safety."

Lao Mo nodded in understanding: "Professor Xiao is still thoughtful."

Everyone only slept for less than an hour last night, and they were really exhausted. Ye Qi's stomach even made a "gurgling" sound. Ye Qi scratched his head embarrassingly: "I didn't eat much last night, cough, I'm a little hungry."

Xiao Lou glanced at Xiaoye with a smile, and said, "Actually, I'm hungry too, why don't you all have something to eat first, because I have other arrangements this afternoon."

The material supply card can get chocolate, milk, instant noodles and mineral water, but eating only these for a whole day will definitely not be enough. Fortunately, this desert island is lush with vegetation, so you should be able to find some food.

Yu Hanjiang said: "Boss Shao and Xiaoye accompany me to pick fruit, and see if I can play some wild game by the way. You two's teleportation card and my qinggong card, in case there are dangerous wild animals on this deserted island, that's fine." run away."

Shao Qingge and Ye Qi nodded, turned around and followed Yu Hanjiang to leave quickly.

Xiao Lou asked, "Ninth Brother, can you catch fish?"

Lu Jiuchuan raised his chin: "You're asking the right person. When I was in the military academy, I learned how to survive in the wild and catch a few fish. It's a trivial matter—of course, the premise is that there are fish to catch here."

Xiao Lou went to the seaside and looked at the clear water, and said, "There should be edible fish in the shallow sea, go and have a look."

Lu Jiuchuan waved at Tang Ci: "Xiao Tang, let's go together."

Xiao Lou also followed: "My compass can be used as a fishing net, maybe it can help." He looked at the remaining three people and said, "By the way, Lao Mo, Xiao Liu, and Senior Gui, you can help pick them up. Some twigs, and make a fire later."

The three nodded and said, "Okay."

After a while, Yu Hanjiang walked over with a hare and a pheasant in his hands. Ye Qi held a lot of green fruits in his arms, and said excitedly: "This kind of fruit should not be poisonous. Just now I saw a few monkeys in the garden. Eat. Also, Team Yu has shot pheasants and hares, and their marksmanship is absolutely perfect, one shot at a time!"

It happened that Xiao Lou also came back at this time. Hearing Ye Qi's words, he asked with concern: "Did you use the noise reduction equipment? The sound of the gunshots might attract nearby mermaids."

Yu Hanjiang nodded: "Don't worry."

The three of Xiao Lou also gained a lot. Lu Jiuchuan and Tang Ci each carried several fish. Lu Jiuchuan said: "We caught nine fish, exactly one for each."

Ye Qi suddenly looked at Lao Mo, and asked a strange question: "By the way, Uncle Mo, are the mermaids carnivores or herbivores? The three of you eat fish, do you think you are eating the same kind?"

Old Mo helped his forehead helplessly: "Marine creatures are originally big fish eating small fish, so they are not considered the same kind. Mermaids are omnivorous animals, eating plants in the sea, as well as small fish and shrimps."

Ye Qi was relieved now, and handed a fish to Lao Mo.

Everyone has now turned back into human legs, and Lao Mo, Gui Yuanzhang and Liu Qiao can also put their tails away on land. Everyone sat around the branches, Xiao Lou used [Bai Juyi] to light a fire, brothers Yu Hanjiang and Lu Jiuchuan roasted wild game very professionally, and the aroma soon spread from everyone's nostrils.

Shao Qingge said with a smile: "Our team seems to seldom go hungry."

Ye Qi stared eagerly at the grilled fish in front of him, rubbed his hands greedily, and said, "After all, as long as there is something that can be eaten, you can find a way to get it and roast it. ah!"

Xiao Lou smiled lightly, "Xiao Ye, you make it sound like we came to rob in the secret room."

Yu Hanjiang handed the cooked fish to Xiao Lou, and said in a low voice, "Taste it."

Xiao Lou took a bite and couldn't help but praise: "It's so delicious. Xiao Liu, do you want to try it too?"

Liu Qiao said with a bitter face: "We mermaids usually eat raw fish, but we are not used to roasted fish..."

Gui Yuanzhang said: "Leave us with three babies."

Lao Mo scratched the back of his head and said, "The scene of eating raw fish is a bit bloody, why don't we eat it next to it?"

Ye Qi asked curiously, "Why is it bloody? I've also eaten Japanese sashimi."

Old Mo: "Are you sure you want to watch?"

Ye Qi smiled and said, "Well, isn't it just tearing pieces and eating them?"

As a result, the next moment, Lao Mo suddenly opened his mouth wide, and saw a lot of sharp fangs exposed in his mouth, those sharp teeth could definitely bite off the neck of a human in an instant! His mouth was opened to the size of his entire face, Ye Qi only saw the horrible bloody mouth, and then, a fish was directly put into his mouth by Lao Mo.

Ye Qi was dumbfounded, and the grilled fish in his hand fell to the ground with a "snap".

Shao Qingge stopped Ye Qi's shoulder, dumbfounded: "I have already had a premonition that something is wrong, you have to watch it."

Lao Mo swallowed the whole fish in one gulp, then closed his mouth, and his facial features returned to normal. He smiled and said, "Scared you? Don't look at the mermaid's upper body that looks like a human, it's actually a very ferocious fish." Animals are even scarier than sharks. Because sharks are only fierce and have no IQ, mermaids have the highest IQ among marine creatures except for their sharp teeth."

Ye Qi was frightened: "A big mouth can directly bite off a human's head, right?"

Gui Yuanzhang said with a serious expression: "So, before you are 100% sure, don't rush into the Mermaid Palace. Professor Xiao's idea is right, we must make complete preparations."

【Chapter 448, Gene Sequence】

After lunch, everyone instinctively felt strongly sleepy. After all, they only slept for an hour or two last night, and they were seriously deprived of sleep. Seeing his teammates yawning sleepily, Xiao Lou said to Lao Mo, "Lao Mo, use the lazy sofa."

Mo Xuemin took out the lazy sofa from the card bag and said, "Come on, everyone take turns to sit."

The lazy sofa can instantly eliminate fatigue and restore energy. The reason for using this method to cheer up is because time is tight. Xiao Lou also arranged tasks for the afternoon.

Everyone took turns sitting on the lazy sofa, and soon felt refreshed.

"We have to go back to the Palace of the Azure Empire and ask my sister for help." Xiao Lou took out some bone fragments from his pocket and said, "I took a small piece of each of the 10 bones from the shipwreck just now. I want to go to the identification center DNA was extracted from the bones, and the identities of the ten individuals were determined by testing the genetic fragments."

"These people have been dead for 20 years, can DNA be extracted from the bones?" Ye Qi asked curiously.

"Yes. The half-life of DNA is 521 years. Every 521 years, the chemical bonds between deoxyribonucleic acid will be broken by half. DNA can be extracted from bones stored in ancient tombs for hundreds of years. 20 years is nothing." Xiao Lou explained .

"Great, if we can extract the DNA to confirm the identity of the deceased, we can unlock a large part of the secrets of the Noah's Ark project in the Luo Ke Empire." Lu Jiuchuan smiled and looked at Xiao Lou, "There is a forensic doctor here, It's convenient."

"I hope that the gene bank of the empire preserves the genetic data of all people." Xiao Lou said, "If Mr. Tang can invade the gene bank of the empire and retrieve the information, he can compare and know the identities of the ten deceased."

Tang Ci nodded and said, "I don't know the encryption level of the gene pool, so I'll try my best."

"Get ready to go." Xiao Lou looked at Liu Qiao and the others, "You guys should go together too, just to meet Hua Ying, and see if we can get some clues from her."

"Okay." Liu Qiao and the others also followed.

They could jump directly into the sea and swim to the shore, while Xiao Lou and the others could only move forward with the help of qinggong cards and teleportation cards.

The displacement ability of these cards is also excellent, and soon everyone came to the small fishing village, Liu Qiao and the three immediately put away their tails and walked on two legs like normal humans.

The suspension car that Shao Qingge bought before had been sucked into the vortex and scrapped. Fortunately, Boss Shao had money, so he bought another one. He drove the car all the way in the air, and when he passed near the palace, Xiao Lou pressed the button Headphones, asked in a low voice: "Sister, can you hear me?"

The effective range of the team voice headset is 10 kilometers. At that time, Xiao Lou left a headset for her sister to communicate with. At this time, Xiao Rou was dining in the palace. After hearing the voice in the headset, she pretended to rub her ears and pressed the He lowered the bump on the earphone, and said to the maid next to him, "Tell me, what would you like to have for dinner tonight?"

Knowing that she heard it, Xiao Lou quickly said, "Sister, I would like to ask Dr. Edwin to help you. Their hospital should have genetic identification equipment, right? I need to extract some DNA from the bones to identify the genetic sequence."

In the palace, the maid took out a recipe and said: "Princess, the doctor said that you need vitamin supplements. This dinner recipe is nutritionally balanced. Can you see if you need to change it?"

Xiao Rou smiled and said: "That's it. You step back first, I'm a little tired, I want to take a bath and sleep for a while."

The maid said: "Good princess, call me again if you need anything."

After a few seconds, Xiao Rou came to the bathroom. There was a loud shower sound in the earphones. Obviously, she turned the shower to the maximum to disturb the eavesdropping equipment. She pressed the earphones and said in a low voice: "Xiao Lou, What's going on, where did the bones come from? Did someone die?"

The sound of the shower was very messy, but Xiao Lou could still hear it clearly

Her words explained: "The deceased probably escaped from the empire. I found some skeletons on the bottom of the sea, and I need to confirm the identities of these people. Can my sister contact Dr. Edwin and ask him to help?"

Xiao Rou said softly: "Yes, Dr. Edwin is on duty this afternoon. He is an obstetrician. You can find someone to pretend to be a pregnant woman to see him. Just say that I asked you to go, and he will find a way to help. .”

Xiao Lou said, "Thank you sister."

Xiao Rou paused, and said: "Father never mentioned to me about your escape from Capital Star, and there was no movement from Prince Herman. I don't know what Father means... In short, you must Be careful and take care of yourself."

Xiao Lou said: "I know, sister, take care too."

After finishing the call, Xiao Lou looked at Liu Qiao and said, "Xiao Liu, you are the only girl, you can pretend to be a pregnant woman later, we have to go to the hospital to see an obstetrician."

Liu Qiao nodded: "Okay."

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang once again used mask cards to pretend to be two ordinary-looking passers-by, their identities were Liu Qiao's family members, Liu Qiao pretended to be a patient, and the others waited nearby.

The three went to St. Paul's Hospital to register for treatment, and soon it was their turn.

When Liu Qiao walked into the consulting room, Dr. Edwin took a look at the young girl and said softly, "Are you pregnant? First visit?"

Liu Qiao looked calm: "Well, come for a check-up."

The doctor looked at the two men behind her, and was about to let the family members go out, but Xiao Lou suddenly walked behind the doctor and said in a low voice, "Princess Xiaorou asked us to come, we are the two interns from last time, Please help me with something."

Edwin quickly reacted and said with a smile, "Okay, patients and family members come with me."

He led the three of them into the consulting room next to them and told all the interns to leave. After waiting for no one around, Xiao Lou finally explained his purpose: "Professor, I want to borrow the equipment from the genetic identification center."

Edwin frowned, and said: "The appraisal center can't get in right now... By the way, they will get off work on time at 5:30 in the afternoon. Then I will find a way to sneak you in. You will still wear the internship clothes like last time." Raw clothes."

Yu Hanjiang said: "Thank you, Professor."

***

At 5:30 in the afternoon, Professor Edwin's outpatient hours ended. He brought three "interns" in white coats to the identification center, quickly entered the laboratory, and locked the door behind them.

The identification equipment in the future world is not the same as that used by Xiao Lou. Fortunately, with the help of Professor Edwin, Xiao Lou successfully extracted DNA from ten bones and analyzed the gene sequence with an instrument.

The identification speed of high-tech equipment is very fast. In the blink of an eye, a very detailed gene sequence appeared on the LCD screen. Those dense nucleic acid data made Xiao Lou's eyes shine. He copied the information and destroyed all the records in the system, and said in a low voice, "Thank you, Professor."

Edwin waved his hand: "Let's go, so as not to be discovered."

After leaving the hospital, Xiao Lou, Yu Hanjiang and Liu Qiao hurried back to the coffee shop near the hospital that they had agreed upon.

In the small private room on the second floor, Tang Ci, Lao Mo, and Gui Yuanzhang were drinking coffee. A woman was sitting opposite the three men. She was dressed in black leather, her hair was neatly tied up in a ponytail, and she looked heroic.

Liu Qiao was stunned: "Sister Huaying?"

Chu Huaying gave a faint "hmm": "I have limited time, so I will tell you the key points."

Xiao Lou went into the private room and sat down, and asked, "Did you find anything after investigating my sister?"

Chu Huaying said: "Princess Xiao Rou doesn't know much about the Noah's Ark project. She married the then Prince Herman 20 years ago. Although she had seen Xiao Lou's clones before she got married, she didn't see any of them. There is no way to find out more information, and her actions have been monitored by her husband Herman since she got married, and I suspect that His Majesty had any agreement with Prince Herman back then."

Xiao Lou nodded: "Where is Herman?"

Chu Huaying frowned and said: "This prince is very wary, and it is difficult for me to get close to him, but from the results of my investigations these days, he does not know about the Noah's Ark plan, and the Luo Ke Empire secretly researched replicants. , It’s impossible for too many people to know about this news. In the Azure Empire, Princess Xiaorou only knows a little bit, and Prince Herman doesn’t even know a little bit, so we should focus on the mermaid race now.”

Xiao Lou thought about it carefully, and said: "After 24 o'clock tonight, Xiao Liu will go to the mermaid tribe with Lao Mo and Senior Gui to explore the way. If you successfully find the replicator laboratory, then I will directly use Taohuayuan to pull you in, and we will go together The Mermaid Palace will get rid of the mastermind behind the scenes—and those hunters who look exactly like us.”

Chu Huaying said simply: "Okay, I'll wait for your call."

She stood up and walked out. When she got to the door, she suddenly turned her head and glanced at Liu Qiao: "Xiao Liu must be more careful. I heard that you are the mermaid princess. Maybe you are the one Xiao Lou wants to get rid of the most. After all, you will threatened his succession."

Liu Qiao nodded seriously: "I know, sister Huaying, you should be careful too."

Chu Huaying said: "I'll go first, see you later."

She stepped on high-heeled leather boots and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.

Xiao Lou looked at Tang Ci and asked, "Where is Brother Nine?"

Tang Ci said: "Mr. Shao and Ye Qi have just returned to the hotel to check out. They checked into the Ferris Wheel Hotel. If they don't go back to the room for a few days, they will definitely arouse suspicion. Ninth brother secretly followed them to protect them, lest they have any accidents."

Xiao Lou nodded: "It's better to be more cautious. Mr. Tang, can you invade the Imperial Gene Bank?"

Tang Ci took out his portable optical brain: "Don't worry, it's done, let's check you

Let's compare the measured sequences. "
