The middle-aged man was pleased with her reaction, nodding with a smile. "I also possess his planting abilities, and only descendants of the Sang Family in Sang Jing's lineage can awaken this evolutionary ability."
Looking at the person in front of her, Sang Luoluo suddenly felt a strong sense of kinship. This was her younger brother's descendant. Although so many years had passed, they were still family.
Seeing that he was a descendant of Sang Jing, Sang Luoluo took the initiative to step forward and introduce herself. "Hello, let's get to know each other. My name is Sang Luoluo, and I share the same surname as you."
The middle-aged man was surprised by how smoothly the acquaintance went; the other person even said what he had prepared. He smiled, extended his hand, and shook it. "My name is Sang Tong. What a coincidence to meet someone with the surname Sang here. Who knows, you might also be a descendant of our lineage."
"Huh?" Sang Luoluo quickly realized that this person probably mistook her for someone from Base No. 32, and hurriedly said, "You've misunderstood. The rest of us aren't from this base; we just happen to share the same surname."
Sang Tong smiled and explained, "I was just saying it's possible. Three hundred years after the wasteland's arrival, many descendants of the Sang family migrated to other bases for survival. Even if you're not from Base No. 32, there's a possibility you're a descendant of the Sang family who left Base No. 32."
"Perfect timing. The museum has testing equipment here, and it preserves the genetic data of outstanding talents from the four great families of Sang, Wang, Zhao, and Li. You can come with me to get tested," Sang Tong said, pointing in a direction.
Sang Luoluo was intrigued. "Okay, I want to give it a try."
What if she really is a descendant of the Sang Clan? Even if there's only a slight possibility, she wants to try.
"Then come with me."
Sang Tong walked ahead with a faint smile on his face.
There's another floor above the museum, where the database contains the genetic data of the outstanding individuals from Base No. 32 Sang Tong just mentioned.
Someone was there watching over the equipment.
Sang Tong looked at the woman and said, "Her name is Sang Luoluo. She wants to have her kinship with the Sang Clan verified."
The operator, a young woman in her early twenties, replied, "Two Crystal Core are needed."
Sang Luoluo took out a Crystal Core, which had exactly 2 Crystal Core points, just enough for her.
"Please sit here. We need to collect a strand of your hair."
Sang Luoluo sat down and looked at the photos of famous members of the Sang Clan over the past 300 years that had been automatically displayed on the machine.
In total, there are nearly fifty.
The beautiful woman cut off half a strand of her hair and put it into the instrument for testing. Soon, Sang Luoluo's genetic data began to appear and quickly matched with people in the database.
A few minutes later, the results came out, and the screen showed three photos.
Sang Jing, Sang Dang'en, Sang Kangkang.
These individuals are related by blood.
Sang Luoluo's gaze finally settled on Sang Kangkang's photo. This person had once been a high-ranking official in Base No. 32, but he wasn't an Evolved Human; he was an ordinary person. The relationship shown on the photo was that of her great-grandfather.
Sang Tong's gaze beside him was somewhat warm. This... this...
They originally intended to recruit this talent, but who would have thought that he was actually a descendant of their Sang Clan?
Sang Luoluo turned her face and said with a smile, "If this result is accurate, we'll still be relatives."
Sang Tong smiled and said, "Not only that, that Sang Kangkang is my great-grandfather."
Sang Luoluo's smile gradually faded. So, this man in his forties was her cousin?
Sang Tong looked pleased. "You don't believe me? I'll make one for you too."
He then sat down in front of the instrument, took a sample of his hair, and began the test.
He added, "Don't doubt the authenticity of this instrument. If you take these three people's genetic data to other places, you'll get the same results. We really are relatives."
Qi Feng and Lei Qi watched in amazement. How to put it? It was too much of a coincidence, but they did indeed share the same surname, Sang.
The results showed the same as Sang Luoluo's; apart from differences in their genetic data, their ancestral origins were identical.
Sang Luoluo encouraged Qi Feng and Lei Qi to try it as well, and she paid for the Crystal Core.
The test results showed that the two of them had no relation to these four families.
Sang Luoluo still found it somewhat unbelievable.
Sang Tong was in a good mood. The talent he had his eye on turned out to be one of his own, which made things much easier.
He said, "We two are actually from the same great-grandfather. Although this seems a bit far-fetched, the test results are accurate. Here's what we'll do: I have a family genealogy. If you're interested, I can help you check your parents' and grandparents' information."
This was a huge temptation, and Sang Luoluo found it hard to refuse.
Sang Luoluo nodded.
"Let's go then. Let's go now. I just finished my business here and was about to go home," said Sang Tong.
Sang Luoluo and the other two had no problems. At the museum, they saw the second part of the development history of No. 32, and Sang Luoluo learned a lot and gained a lot.
Downstairs, they got into Sang Tong's car. The three were a little surprised; the car looked no different from the one that had brought them there, and it was quite expensive. Sang Tong seemed to be a prominent figure in the base.
The journey only took about ten minutes. Sang Luoluo couldn't help but ask, "Who are you? Riding in such a nice car, I mean, you must be someone important at Base No. 32."
Sang Tong smiled, then kept everyone in suspense, "Cousin, you'll find out when we get there."
Then, the car quickly stopped at the base chief's house.
This is a luxury villa.
It occupies an entire building, like a manor, with high-yield vine crops such as loofah and pumpkin growing nearby.
It feels somewhat out of place in a luxury mansion.
Lei Qi's mouth dropped open; this was simply outrageous.
"He... he wouldn't happen to be the base commander, would he?"
Qi Feng nodded.
If you still can't tell he's the base commander after all this, you're a fool.
Sang Luoluo was also shocked. She had considered other positions at the base, but she never imagined it would be the base commander himself.
Seeing them get out of the car, Sang Tong said gently, "Let me formally introduce myself. I am Sang Tong, the base commander of Base No. 32. I'm very pleased to have found someone from the same clan today."
"Come in and have a seat."
Sang Luoluo and the other two followed them inside. Lei Qi curiously looked around the base chief's residence from behind. It was luxurious, truly luxurious.
As expected of the base commander.
Sang Tong led the three of them to his office and study, instructing his servants to prepare lunch for them, as he wanted them to stay for a meal.
They immediately took out the family genealogy book.
He opened the family genealogy and said, "Our great-grandfather was named Sang Kangkang. My grandfather was his eldest son, Sang Tai, followed by Sang Qi, Sang Wu, and Sang Liu. I am from the lineage of the eldest son, Sang Qi. My father said that my grandfather had two younger brothers and one younger sister, named Sang Yuntian, Sang Rufan, and Sang Wenjing respectively."
"That's all the information recorded in my family genealogy. Many years have passed, and each generation has branched out. I don't know which of these three people you are a descendant of."
Upon seeing this, Sang Luoluo truthfully replied, "I don't know, I have to ask my brother."
Sang Tong asked in surprise, "You have an older brother?"
Sang Luoluo nodded. "Wait a moment, let me ask."
To be honest, Sang Luoluo doesn't even know her parents' names. She really doesn't know, and Sang Yunpu has never mentioned them either. She'll have to look it up to find out.
Sang Luoluo made a video call directly to Sang Yunpu.
Sang Yunpu answered the phone immediately. Sang Luoluo usually called him at night, and had never called him in the middle of the day before.
"What's wrong, Luoluo? Don't you usually call at night?"
Sang Luoluo asked, "Brother, what are our grandparents' names?"
Sang Yunpu was taken aback. "Huh? Why did you suddenly ask that?"
"Tell me quickly."
Sang Yunpu thought for a moment. There was nothing he could do; his parents had passed away early, and he and his sister had relied on each other for survival. He had never mentioned this matter before. "Wait a minute," he said, "Let me think... Grandpa's name seems to be Sang Rufan, and Grandma's name is Meng Fei."
Sang Tong listened with some excitement.
Sang Luoluo asked again, "Are you sure?"
"I'm sure. My parents mentioned it twice when I was very young. You were too young then, so it's normal that you don't remember. This information can be found in the system," Sang Yunpu said confidently. "By the way, why are you asking this?"
Sang Tong suddenly appeared in the frame and greeted Sang Yunpu, "Hello, my name is Sang Tong, I'm your cousin."
Sang Yunpu almost fell out of the frame. What the heck? His cousin?
Looking at Sang Luoluo, "What happened?"
Sang Luoluo then recounted what had happened that day. Sang Yunpu was also shocked; the family genealogy matched perfectly, so there was no way to fake it.
"He... is he really the base commander of Base No. 32?" Sang Yunpu looked at the smiling Sang Tong in the picture, as well as Lei Qi and Qi Feng, who looked calm behind him.
Sang Luoluo nodded.
Sang Yunpu looked at Sang Tong and immediately broke into a big smile. "Cousin, you're our cousin. This is Luo Luo's first time Luoluo to Base No. 32, she has no experience, so please take good care of her. Thank you, thank you."
Sang Yunpu clasped his hands together in prayer, appearing very devout.
Sang Tong immediately chimed in, "Don't worry, I won't mistreat my cousin."
