Wei Lanshan stopped reading and no longer watched 99's real-time monitoring videos. She wanted to suppress the emotions that were silently spreading within her.
Despite this, during her rest time, she did a few things that Wu Yuan couldn't understand.
When Sixi needed its energy replaced, she used her authority to upgrade it.
99 was only puzzled as to how Sixi suddenly had so much more knowledge. However, she guessed it was probably because she had gotten a little older and could now know more things.
She never imagined that Wei Lanshan would do something so out of character for her status.
Life in the space was exceptionally monotonous. Every three Ning Star days, 99 had to endure excruciating pain for two days.
No one could alleviate her suffering. 99 could only grit her teeth and bear it. Several times, she was on the brink of death, but Wei Lanshan saved her.
This inhuman torture continued until she turned four years old.
During these three years of continuous drug injections and various gene testing and recombination experiments, 99 once thought she couldn't go on. Her body was on the verge of collapse several times. The pain was worse than death.
The number of tests increased, and the drugs used became more frequent and complex. Yet, in the end, she survived, relying on her own tenacious willpower. Whether this was fortunate or unfortunate was unknown.
Sixi would tell her stories, play music, and talk about happy things to comfort her during her pain. It also taught her, brought her nutrient solutions, and played with her.
From the time she could speak and communicate, it was always Sixi who accompanied her.
If it weren't for Sixi's existence and her ability to sneak her thoughts out to play, 99 guessed she would have gone mad or become an idiot long ago.
During these four years, Sixi taught her languages, starting with the most basic Alliance language, as well as writing. It systematically taught her all the knowledge that infants must master, dividing it into several stages.
It also taught her some advanced knowledge that was available in its chip.
Through Sixi's chip, 99 glimpsed a corner of this world.
After learning languages and writing, 99 understood this vast world even better.
At the end of the second star year, when 99 turned four, Wei Lanshan obtained joyous results.
After 99 endured the last round of drug testing, the M Virus in her body had completely disappeared. Her mental power and physical fitness were undamaged. Moreover, her mental power showed a tendency to extend further.
Wei Lanshan stared at the testing equipment, her face filled with disbelief. She checked it five times, and the instrument was not broken.
She also used her authority to consult a lot of data, but there were no relevant records. There was no information indicating that mental power would extend further after reaching 3S.
The Alliance had always believed that 3S was the peak. In the 2802 years of Alliance history, there had been no cases exceeding this limit. Including the 6000 years of the chaotic period, there were no relevant records in 8802 years.
Wei Lanshan walked out of the laboratory. After closing the door, she looked at 99, who had regained her liveliness in the space, and a crazy idea formed in her mind.
She did not immediately transmit the news of the successful experiment to Ye Yunhan. Instead, she secluded herself in her room for three full days. No one knew what she did in her room. When Wei Lanshan emerged, her face bore the courage of one who had burned all bridges.
As Wei Lanshan stepped out of her room, her mindset had changed.
She went to the laboratory where 99 was located and shared the experimental data with Lin Zeyu, instructing them to follow the same steps, drug formula, experimental subject gene adjustment sequence, additions, deletions, and overwrites. Afterward, she destroyed everything in the laboratory where 99 was.
She spoke to 99 directly: "Stay here and don't wander off. I will completely seal this laboratory. Neither mental power nor instruments will be able to detect this place. You will continue to live here for now, and Sixi will accompany you. I will come to find you later. Do you understand?"
99 nodded. Wei Lanshan's expression was unexpectedly solemn. She didn't know what was happening for the moment, but she felt it was related to her life or death.
During her wandering in the past few days, she learned that Wei Lanshan and the others' experiment had succeeded. Success meant that as experimental subjects, they had lost their purpose.
The outcome was self-evident.
Wei Lanshan did some more secret work, work that even Wu Yuan didn't know about.
After completing these tasks, Wei Lanshan sent the information back to Ning Star. Ye Yunhan was overjoyed upon receiving the message.
He and his wife, Tang Yongyu, immediately took Ye Zhenwei to the subordinate star Q68. However, Ye Yunhan received an order to go to the front lines midway, so in the end, it was Tang Yongyu who took their daughter, Ye Zhenwei, to subordinate star Q68.
When Tang Yongyu arrived, she did not urgently ask Wei Lanshan to treat Ye Zhenwei immediately.
She asked Wei Lanshan to take her to see a few other experimental subjects. Wei Lanshan had Lin Zeyu and the others bring Subjects 95-98.
Tang Yongyu was very satisfied. The condition of these experimental subjects was unexpectedly good, and their mental power levels were quite excellent. It was a pity.
Tang Yongyu: "Are you sure the M Virus in these bodies has disappeared, not just hidden?"
Wei Lanshan: "We have conducted multiple tests, and we can confirm they are fully recovered."
Lin Zeyu: "Yes, this is the experimental data. Ten days have passed since their last test, and they have not experienced any discomfort. Miss Ye's mental power is strong, and her recovery will be faster."
Tang Yongyu looked at her daughter, who was listless beside her, and felt an unbearable pain in her heart.
After falling ill, Ye Zhenwei spent most of her time in a dormant state. Although she possessed talent that the entire Alliance envied, if it continued like this, such talent would only be a burden to her.
As a mother, how could she not feel pain? She could empathize with all her daughter's suffering.
Tang Yongyu: "Dr. Wei, let's begin then. Zhenwei is in your hands."
Wei Lanshan: "Madam Ye, you are too kind. Do you have any other questions? You can ask them before the treatment begins."
Tang Yongyu: "Not for now. I'll ask if anything comes to mind."
Her current concern was only her daughter's treatment. Everything else could be discussed later. Anyway, this laboratory was already under her control, and no one could escape her grasp.
Ye Zhenwei opened her eyes and looked at the unfamiliar surroundings. She was already twelve years old and had long known that something was wrong with her body. This time, her mother said it could be completely cured.
She wouldn't have to spend her days in a constant state of sleep anymore. After recovering, she would go directly to the Alliance Capital Star Gaia to receive the best education. Her mother said she would become the most dazzling star in the entire Alliance.
Hearing this, Ye Zhenwei looked forward to the future. She forced her eyes open and looked at the experimental subjects in front of her. They were all fair and lovely, and their gazes towards her held nothing but curiosity.
They were still young and likely didn't understand the meaning of their birth. Yet, Ye Zhenwei felt a pang of discomfort.
Her life was actually saved by these few little children, and they even shared the same bloodline as her.
During her illness, Ye Zhenwei found it difficult to control her emotions, often throwing tantrums for no reason. Tang Yongyu always let her vent, never stopping her.
Ye Zhenwei had developed a rather unreasonable temper. Ye Yunhan would sometimes urge her to restrain herself, but Ye Zhenwei wouldn't listen, always feeling the need to release the pent-up frustration in her heart.
Seeing these incredibly healthy biological sisters, Ye Zhenwei's inner turmoil flared up again.
She tugged on her mother Tang Yongyu's hand. Tang Yongyu understood and gave her a reassuring look.
Tang Yongyu was very worried about her daughter's health. After Ye Yunhan returned last time, she had used the blocking medication again, causing her condition to weaken.
Fortunately, Wei Lanshan had succeeded. Otherwise, her daughter might not have survived this star year.
Tang Yongyu followed behind Wei Lanshan and went with them to the East Third District.
