265: The truth is becoming clear

Tian Ming came out of Beidu Base with Shen Yuan. He did not mention a word of Professor Zhang's words, but Tian Ming felt a faint pain in his heart.

After leaving Beidu Base, Tian Ming took Shen Yuan on the return journey. As for the matter of containing the Corpse Emperor, Lin Yao had originally wanted to discuss it with him, but Tian Ming was not in the mood. He only said that if Alliance Base was in crisis, he would send him the coordinates, and he would come to resolve it.

Looking at the brand new flying car in front of her, a smile appeared on Shen Yuan's face.

"Where is your original car?"

Tian Ming smiled indifferently and said, "I don't know where I threw it. Anyway, it's made of carbon fiber, so I can make one anytime."

"Alright, I, Shen Yuan, am genuinely envious of you."

"Let's go, get in the car, we're going back."

"Mmm!" Shen Yuan nodded slightly.

After the two got in the car, the flying car rapidly ascended under Tian Ming's control, like a meteor streaking across the sky. Although its speed was not as fast as Tian Ming's own, it was much faster than before, accelerating to over three times the speed of sound within one minute.

"Husband, are you not going to be an instructor anymore?" Shen Yuan asked.

"I was dismissed. Disobeying orders on the spot has a very bad impact."

Shen Yuan covered her mouth and laughed, "Alright, that seems like your style. You hadn't even warmed the seat in that position before it was gone."

Tian Ming smiled indifferently and said, "If it's gone, it's gone. I don't have much to teach them anyway. With the existence of the Corpse Emperor, it has basically disrupted all my previous plans."

"Corpse Emperor?"

Tian Ming told Shen Yuan about the Corpse Emperor, and Shen Yuan fell into deep thought after hearing it.

"He's quite capable, and the name he chose for himself is very fitting."

Tian Ming nodded and said, "Yes, he's immune to superpowers. I can't do anything to him, and he can't do anything to me. And his speed is also very fast. There's really no good way to kill him."

Half an hour later, the flying car had already arrived at the Shelter.

Returning to the Shelter, Shen Yuan's eyes held a complex emotion. Although Professor Zhang had hidden many things from her, she naturally understood her own body. The rate of superpower degradation was accelerating, and she knew she might not last much longer.

"Husband, I'm going to find my brother. There are some things I need to explain."

Tian Ming looked at Shen Yuan's eyes and nodded silently.

"Okay, you go. I'll wait for you in the office," Tian Ming said softly.

Shen Yuan smiled slightly, gently squeezed Tian Ming's hand, then turned and walked into the interior of the Shelter. Watching her retreating back, Tian Ming's heart was filled with helplessness and pain.

Returning to his office, Tian Ming's headphones automatically connected to the Shelter's communication system.

"Meng Xian, come here!"

"Boss, you're back? I'm coming right now."

Meng Xian's voice came through the earphone. Soon, the office door was pushed open. Meng Xian walked in from outside, his face showing a hint of fatigue. The construction of the Shelter's Underground City was constantly accelerating, and he was almost working non-stop, rarely resting.

"What is Lisa doing in the Shelter?" Tian Ming asked.

"Her? She's following Su Rou to grow vegetables. She's a Superpower User. I arranged a combat position for her, but she didn't want it. She insisted on learning how to grow vegetables." Meng Xian's face showed a wry smile.

Tian Ming nodded slightly and said, "Forget it, let her be. Tell the Lawrence Family side to have Charlie come see me immediately. I'll wait for him in the Shelter."

Seeing Tian Ming's unhappy expression, Meng Xian felt that the boss might have something going on.

"Boss, during this time, the Lawrence Family has been very responsive to our requests and has held nothing back. Has something happened?" Meng Xian asked with concern.

"Go notify him first, and let him come over before we talk. This matter is unrelated to the Shelter, so you don't need to worry about it."

Hearing the boss say this, Meng Xian didn't say much more. He nodded and agreed, then turned and left the office. After a while, Meng Xian's voice came through Tian Ming's earphone.

"Boss, Charlie has been notified. He replied that he will depart immediately and arrive at our Shelter in about ten hours."

"Mmm, got it!"

At this moment, a knock came from the office door.

"Come in!"

Lisa pushed the door open and entered. She had originally been growing vegetables in the greenhouse. Su Rou and Shen Yi were also there, and seeing Shen Yuan come to find her brother, Lisa felt something was off. Shen Yuan's complexion gave her an indescribable feeling.

Lisa hesitated, unsure whether to speak, but by some strange impulse, she still ran to find Tian Ming.

Tian Ming was also annoyed at the moment. Seeing Lisa arrive, he said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

"I saw that Sister Shen Yuan's condition wasn't right. I happened to run into her when she was looking for her brother, Shen Yi, in the greenhouse." Lisa's eyes darted around, not daring to meet Tian Ming's gaze.

Tian Ming looked up and said, "You noticed it too? I'm starting to wonder if your family experimented on her?"

As soon as Tian Ming spoke, Lisa immediately lowered her head and said, "Is there no good solution from the Alliance side?"

Tian Ming sighed, "Professor Zhang of the Alliance said she can only live for two more months at most, or even less. And, he also suspects that the current Shen Yuan is a clone. But, even if she went to the Laboratory, could they clone an adult in just over ten days?"

Lisa gritted her teeth, took a deep breath, and said, "Superpower User cells combined with culture solution, then induced to divide with high-energy radiation, can replicate a Superpower User in 5 days. Our Lawrence Family has this technology. Back then, after I upgraded from six elements to seven elements, I was taken to a secret Laboratory for consciousness cloning. But this technology is not mature; the replicated Superpower Users only have a lifespan of less than 90 days."

Tian Ming immediately stood up, his eyes full of anger, "Charlie, he lied to me?"

"He didn't lie to you. Even I don't know where that technology and that secret Laboratory are. I am the family's successor and the first Superpower User to be replicated, but later I heard my father say that the plan failed and required a higher-level Superpower User to succeed," Lisa quickly said.

Tian Ming's face was extremely grim at this moment. He slowly said, "You mean your father and the five elders conspired to pull a 'golden cicada shedding its shell' trick on me and Charlie?"

"I don't know!" Lisa shook her head, "No one can distinguish between a clone and the original. In the early stages, a Superpower User's clone is identical in terms of genes, consciousness, and memory. However, the clone's energy will gradually disappear, eventually leading to death."

Tian Ming sneered, "Heh heh, Duke Lawrence, you can even deceive your own family and daughter. You've really opened my eyes."
