Chapter 497: Gaia Seed ( 1 )
The father, Jin Xuyan, was too shocked to respond when he heard the woman’s words. He glanced at his fiancée and noticed that she was enjoying the show and let out a silent sigh of relief.
He stepped aside to avoid Du Beiye’s bow and said, "I am only twenty-five years old this year. It is impossible for me to have a daughter as old as you."
When he said this, Xiao Qi suddenly said, "Captain, she looks so much like you. Are you sure she is not your daughter or sister?"
As soon as these words left his mouth, Wen Kai slapped the back of his head and said, "It is better for you to shut up."
Xiao Qi rubbed the back of his head and wanted to retort, but before he could say a word, he met with his Captain’s cold gaze. As a wise man, he knew when to shut up.
Jiao Lizhi observed the woman for a moment, and a feeling of familiarity rose in her heart.
As someone who was reborn, she still believed that the possibility of this person being her fiancé’s daughter was not zero. Maybe she was someone who traveled across time and came from the future.
With this thought, she said, "This is not a place to have a talk. Let us finish our dinner first and go back."
Jin Xuyan frowned but still nodded. As long as his fiancée was not angry, he was all good.
Seeing that she did not have anything, Jiao Lizhi ordered a bowl of steamed rice, a plate of sweet and sour meat, a plate of stir-fry beans, and a bowl of bone soup.
After getting their food, the Phantom Team members took a seat at the next table while Jin Xuyan, Jiao Lizhi, and Du Beiye shared a table.
Noticing that the woman wanted to talk, Jin Xuyan cut her off, "Eat first."
Hearing this, Du Beiye nodded and replied solemnly, "Understood."
Jiao Lizhi observed her curiously. Despite wearing a simple black T-shirt and black sweatpants, she still could not hide her sharp aura. With just a glance, she knew that this person had taken a lot of lives and had undergone countless battles.
While she was observing Du Beiye, Krayan was busy scanning her.
"Krayan, how is it? Is she the one we are looking for?"
Du Beiye asked."Scanning failed. Host, there is a protection barrier surrounding the target. We need her DNA to check."
Hearing this, the corner of Du Beiye’s lips lifted as she said, "Krayan, I will find a way to get her DNA. But without even the test, I am eighty percent sure that Gaia is with her."
"Host, if Gaia is with her, then she might be your sister."
When Du Beiye heard this, she glanced at Jiao Lizhi and shook her head.
"My sister and I were born from the same pod. Our DNA sequences are 99,99% similar. Just based on our appearance, the possibility of her being my sister is only 0,01%."
"If she is not your sister, then the only possible explanation for Gaia being with her is that its host has perished and it had to assimilate with the new host to survive," Krayan said.
Du Beiye pressed her lips tightly. While both of them managed to escape during the attack, the portal was shot and exploded. Adding that time and space were distorted, her sister’s escape pod might be damaged and unable to survive the space jump.
Reaching this conclusion, she said, "No matter if Gaia found a new host or if she is my sister, I have to check the identity of this person. We cannot take the risk by leaving Gaia in an unknown person’s hands."
"Understood."
Under the strange atmosphere, everyone rushed to finish their dinner and went to Jin Xuyan’s condominium. Along the way, Du Beiye observed the situation while Krayan was mapping the area.
Forty minutes later, they arrived at the apartment complex. Looking at the building, she couldn’t help but say, "So this is what the Earthlings’ building looks like."
"Host, this type of building is called an apartment. There are lots of families residing in one building."
"Krayan, compared to our capsule cabin, which one is better?" Du Beiye asked curiously.
"According to the data, the capsule cabin was built with the function of an escape pod. So, while the area was only five square meters, the capsule cabin was equipped with a complete system to support the space jump and withstand a large-scale attack. During an emergency, the capsule cabin can be used as a battleship, too."
"As for the apartment, it was built prioritizing comfort and improving living conditions. So, while the area was bigger, it lacked defense or attack mechanisms. The materials used to build the apartment were also G-rank materials often found in F-rank training planets."
Hearing this, Du Beiye nodded and concluded, "No wonder those bugs are able to wipe out the entire population in less than one hundred years. This blue planet was indeed a primitive civilization."
"Host, the blue planet was known as one of the civilizations with the highest intelligence, evolution, adaptation, and learning speed. If they were given time to evolve, they might become one of the top civilizations in our time."
"Is that the reason why the Great Commander spent so much effort using Shrotam’s DNA to create me and my sister?" Du Beiye asked.
"The system data recorded that before you and your sister were successfully born, there were a total of more than five hundred million babies constructed using Shrotam’s DNA. But out of so many babies, only one percent of them survived and reached adulthood."
"Since Shrotam was the only one who perfectly mutated the DNA and reached perfection, shouldn’t the baby born from his DNA be stronger and have a longer lifespan?" Du Beiye asked again.
"Until the day our civilization was attacked, no one was able to find out the reason."
While she was lost in thought, Jiao Lizhi said, "Comrade, please come in."
