There was no sound at the scene. Everyone was shocked.
The Dragon Blood Man who claimed to be Shen Changze’s father slowly flew to the ground. It could be seen that flying in the air was really exhausting. A thin layer of sweat broke out on his forehead.
Shen Changze also flew down. His face had changed. His lips trembled as it opened and closed over and over again. He didn’t say a word for a long time.
Shan Ming’s expression also changed. He looked back and forth between the middle-aged man and Shen Changze several times. The more he looked, the more he thought that they looked alike and the colder his heart became. An unspeakable feeling of anxiety suddenly filled his entire chest cavity. He felt so annoyed as if his things were about to be taken away. He was full of disgust and hostility towards the man in front of him who claimed to be Shen Changze’s father.
Shen Changze managed to make a sound, “You are… my father?” When he left home, he was only five years old. In his memory, his impression of his biological parents was already very, very faint. If they appeared in front of him, he definitely wouldn’t recognize them.
After he returned to China, he did try to find his parents. But both of them have been missing for many years. The military has been looking for them, but it has been fruitless.
He once thought that maybe they were already dead. Although he felt sorry for this possibility, he didn’t feel sad. After all, his biological parents already felt distant from him. Other than that, he already had Shan Ming.
He never imagined that one day he would see his biological father again and it was under such circumstances.
The man in front of him, easier said, other than his similar appearance, he also gave him a familiar smell. His intuition told him that this man was indeed his father. But he was stranger to him than a comrade-in-arms of ‘Peregrine Falcon’. What surprised him the most was that this man was on Tang Jingzhi’s side.
Tang Jingzhi had already gotten into the car and Shen Changze’s biological father with a few other Dragon Blood men stopped in front of the car and escorted them to evacuate.
The man nodded. With a look of contempt on his face, he said, “Yes, I am your father. Unfortunately, even though your ability is strong enough, your mind is still so stupid. You actually work for these lowly human beings. You let me down.”
Shan Ming scolded: “What the hell are you talking about?! What are you doing? You just jumped out to recognize your own son. How can there be such a stupid thing?”
The man didn’t pay attention to Shan Ming, a mere human being. He didn’t even look at him. He just raised his hand, facing Shen Changze with his palm and made a stop gesture.
“My son, you are not my opponent yet. So let’s stop here. You have to remember that you don’t belong to any country nor to any mercenary regiment. You are a Dragon Blood Man. You are not a human being.”
After speaking, they quickly got into the car.
Some were quick to raise their guns and wanted to shoot but Tang Tingzhi shouted, “Don’t!”
They watched Tang Jingzhi, who was close at hand, slipped away from under their noses.
There was a dead silence all around. No one spoke at all.
After a while, Shen Changze raised his head to look at Tang Tingzhi. He gritted his teeth with red eyes and said, “Tell me everything you know.”
“Shen Yao, forty-four years old this year, is one of the second batch of dragon blood test subjects in China. The blood purity is as high as 60%. Even today, he is one with the best blood purity. He himself was an elite special soldier for ten years. He enlisted in the army at the age of 16 and performed hundreds of missions before he evolved. He volunteered to be a dragon blood test subject and he was one of the best Dragon Blood people in China. Later, he met the only female Dragon Blood in China at that time. After they got married, they gave birth to Shen Changze. At that time, the government monitored the matter all the way. But they were not aware of the child’s existence. The two disappeared along with the child. It was not until five years later that their traces were found.” Tang Tingzhi pulls Shen Yao up on the computer. The photo was zoomed in, “You all know what happened next.”
Everyone looked at the photo of Shen Yao in his computer. Except for the age gap, his facial features and temperament were almost similar to the man just now. This person was indeed Shen Changze’s biological father.
Shen Changze was already dazed by this sudden situation. He silently looked at Shen Yao’s photo and secretly clenched his fists.
He and his biological father have been separated for fourteen years. But based on Shen Yao’s attitude today, he does not seem to have the slightest joy of reuniting with his son after a long absence. His attitude made people shudder and Shen Changze didn’t feel a little excited about meeting him. He instead worried.
What Shen Yao said was too wrong. What he said made Shen Changze quickly think of a certain part of the Dragon Blood people – they are racists.
With the improvement of the ‘National Weapons Program’, the team of Dragon Blood people is getting even bigger. The cost of producing Dragon Blood people is decreasing and the success rate is rising. When this certain population appears, estrangement and xenophobia arise. Most Dragon Blood people still retain the sense of responsibility and mission of soldiers since they are loyal to the country. But there are also a small number of them who have changed their temperament after evolution. They began to discriminate and even hate humans. They classify themselves as higher-level species. Due to the precursors of antisocial personality, cruel temperament, and lack of moral sense, this kind of Dragon Blood people are often eliminated in the end. So even Dragon Blood people with racial emotions have begun to learn to hide and suppress themselves, which has to be said as a big hidden danger of the ‘National Weapons Program’.
House is such a Dragon Blood Man. But his personality is more contradictory. On the one hand, he has a sense of superiority as a Dragon Blood Man and looks down on human beings. But on the other hand, he can’t get rid of the nature of being a soldier who is loyal to the motherland. This contradiction makes him still in control of himself.
But looking at Shen Yao’s tone and behaviour, Shen Changze already deeply felt that Shen Yao was a fanatic Dragon Blood racist. He might even be the leader of those Dragon Blood people.
If this is the case, it is not difficult to explain why Shen Yao wanted to protect Tang Jingzhi and why he said those words.
It’s just that this conclusion made Shen Changze feel very uncomfortable. He had imagined countless times of what kind of people his biological parents were. But Shen Yao was definitely not the kind he yearned for. At least, he himself won’t regard humans as an inferior species because he always thinks that he is still partly human and he is madly in love with a human himself.
He raised his head and met Tang Tingzhi’s eyes. He received the information in each other’s eyes. They knew that the other party had the same thought.
Huang Ying and the others probably guessed the same.
Shan Ming was very annoyed at their flirtatious exchange of information between their eyes that he couldn’t understand, “Is there anything else we don’t know? We are working hard for you now. We need to know everything!”
The other members of ‘Peregrine Falcon’ also demanded the truth.
Tang Tingzhi pondered for a moment and then expressed his thoughts.
After he finished speaking, many people were dumbfounded.
Lily shook her head, not daring to say anything at firstr: “You mean, they look down on humans? They think they are of a higher species?”
“That’s right. It’s not difficult to understand. Humans are also divided into different classes, aren’t they? Human beings are created equal to appease the lower class. Humans are also animals. Animals have animal instinct. Animal instinct’s biggest characteristic is to protect themselves and being prejudiced of people different from them. White people look down on black people. Rich people look down on poor people. And naturally, Dragon Blood people with superior physical and IQ will look down on human beings.”
Falcon sneered: “Then, what’s their purpose? Are they trying to build a society where Dragon Blood people enslave human beings?”
“It’s unknown. Maybe they just need to snatch more resources from humans and sit on a life superior to humans. They wanted to control humans instead of humans controlling them. Dragon Blood Man with a sense of racial superiority without a human heart is a topic we are focusing on recently. In short, this part is very dangerous. They may pose a huge threat to our plans and even national security. All Dragon Blood people with racial hatred must be eliminated.”
Shen Changze asked while stressing his words, “You mean, is he going to be eliminated?”
Everyone knew who the ‘he’ he was referring to was.
Tang Tingzhi looked at him, “That’s right.”
Shen Changze stood up from the ground and walked to the outside of the resort slowly.
Tang Tingzhi looked at his back and sighed softly. He commanded: “Do a large-scale demining. We will then take shifts to rest. We will come back in four hours to discuss a new plan.”
Shan Ming jumped up from the ground and chased after Shen Changze.
Shen Changze walked into the dense forest covering the hot spring pools. He found a big tree with a trunk as big as two people hugging each other. He punched with a strong force on the trunk.
A hollow was punched out of the thick tree trunk and the tree trembled. The leaves fell like rain. Shan Ming stepped under the rain of leaves and approached him. He leaned against a tree next to him and said softly, “Son, sit down and let’s have a chat.”
Shen Changze turned his head suddenly. His eyes were dark and as bottomless as an ocean, “You are not my father. That person is my father. But he is going to be eliminated, how could it be like this? What does he want to do? Where is my mother? Where is my mother?” Shen Changze asked a bunch of questions incoherently, his voice trembling more and more.
Shan Ming walked over and slapped his face, “I am your father. You have called me ‘Baba’ for so many years so I am your father. Listen, you don’t have to live for others. If you want to stop him, you stop him. But if you want to follow him, then follow him. Why are you so entangled? You even say that I am not your father. So you forget all about me when you see your real father? As for where your mother is, how do I know?”
Shen Changze was stunned for a moment. He then hugged his waist and said hoarsely: “But I don’t want to be your son. You know what I want, Baba. I want you. If I have to live for someone, it’s just you that I want to live for.”
Shan Ming’s heart was touched for a moment. He couldn’t remain indifferent when he heard such words. But a wave of anger also rose from the bottom of his heart. What he wants to maintain in Shen Changze’s mind is himself as the tall image of a father, not the image of him being stripped in his sexual desires. It’s so fucking irritating. He even thinks now that this kid’s brain is as big as a worm’s brain. At his young age, could sleeping with him save his stupidity?
Before he could think about it, Shen Changze had already pushed him to the ground and kissed his lips frantically. He kept calling him, “Baba, Baba.” Maybe it was a great stimulation or maybe since it has been a while, it made him unable to restrain himself. His movements were more urgent and powerful than usual.
Shan Ming raised his hand and slapped him again. He then looked at him and said coldly, “Shen Changze, in fact, it doesn’t matter for me to sleep with anyone. If you want to fuck me, it’s no big deal for me. I’ll let you do it. Rather than having you fucking thinking about me when you masturbate all the time, it’s really annoying to think about it. But you have to know that I don’t belong to anyone. I can live as I want. So don’t think about trying to change my way of living. I won’t let anyone take control of my life.”
Shen Changze narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, “What do you mean by this?”
Shan Ming grabbed his hair and said viciously, “It means that I can sleep with you. But after I sleep with you, you will stop trying to control me or blame me or let alone trying to bring me back to China with you.”
Shen Changze’s pupils constricted violently. An unbearable resentment welled up in his chest. He said coldly, “What I want is to live with you forever. It’s not to live a life of sleeping around like you!”
Shan Ming understood his sarcasm and got angry for a moment. If this kid dared to compare him to a prostitute, he would definitely seek death. He clenched his hands into fists and punched Shen Changze with a strong force at the socket of his eye.
Shen Changze grabbed his wrist and pressed it forcefully to the ground. He bent down and bit Shan Ming’s lip.
