Chapter 523 - 523: Meeting – Part 2

Nolan couldn’t contain his smile. “Little junior sister, you finally believe that my intentions are for the good of all humanity!”

Unconsciously, Nan Yan had begun to suppress her coldness and anger, seeming genuinely engaged in discussing the matter.

“I can see from our presence alone that humanity still has the potential for evolution. However, driving the evolution of all humanity is a great responsibility and cannot be accomplished by just one or two individuals. We need more like-minded people to work together,” Nan Yan decided, changing her approach.

Since she might not be able to leave anytime soon, she resolved to infiltrate the enemy’s ranks to uncover all of his objectives and strategies. Moreover, Nolan held genetic knowledge that was more advanced and comprehensive than hers. Obtaining that from him would make it much easier for her to cure Shen Junqing and Bai Chen.

From now on, Nan Yan would slowly start to show signs of being swayed by him, appearing interested in studying these matters together.

She couldn’t be too hasty. If she changed too quickly, he might suspect that she was putting on an act, deliberately catering to his beliefs to achieve her goals.

Nan Yan’s expression darkened slightly as she lowered her eyes, concealing the fierceness within.

Nolan felt like he had found a kindred spirit, and his emotions soared. He grabbed Nan Yan’s hand excitedly and said, “Of course, that’s my primary goal. The next step is immortality!”

Nan Yan forcefully controlled her emotions, resisting the urge to pull her hand away when he grabbed it. She poured cold water on his excitement, saying, “Immortality goes against the laws of nature. There’s nothing on Earth that truly lives forever.”

“Who says there isn’t? Those organisms that have been preserved for thousands of years are proof of immortality.”

“They have long lifespans and have existed in the river of time for ages. There are substances in their cells that can maintain immortality, but their genes have defects.

“If we could transfer the immortal factors from those organisms’ cells to humans and then repair the genetic defects inherent in humans, immortality wouldn’t be just a pipe dream.”

Nolan’s excitement grew as he spoke, his sickly soft features flashing with excitement.

Nan Yan was secretly alarmed.

This lunatic!

He really has gone completely insane!

Could his constant brainwashing of Second Senior Brother turn him into a lunatic too?

“Little junior sister, do you think we can succeed?” Nolan already regarded Nan Yan as one of his own.

Even though she hadn’t fully embraced his viewpoint yet, Nolan was confident that she would eventually come around.

Nan Yan was wary of his madness and didn’t want to provoke him, so she replied casually, “This goal is too ambitious. We need to start from the basics. Only after we take the first step can we move on to the second step, gradually getting closer to your goal.”

“You’re right, little junior sister!” Nolan looked at her with fervent eyes. “That’s exactly my plan!”

“The first step is already halfway there. Just a little more and we can take it completely. Will you help me, little junior sister?”

“You haven’t presented any evidence that convinces me,” Nan Yan replied calmly.

Nan Yan knew that Nolan was testing her with that statement. If she readily agreed, it would only make him suspicious that she was deceiving him.

Nolan was suspicious by nature. Despite his eagerness to make Nan Yan his ally and have her join him immediately, he was also acutely aware of her true intentions. If she agreed without hesitation, it would make him suspect that she was lying to him.

For now, Nan Yan’s behavior was only fifty percent believable to him. The other fifty percent, he couldn’t trust yet.

After Nolan left, Nan Yan couldn’t help but feel mentally exhausted, rubbing her temples.

Dealing with a lunatic was much harder than dealing with a sane person. She had to be constantly vigilant, careful not to provoke him and push him over the edge into insanity.

As she spent more time interacting with him, Nan Yan began to worry if she might also be affected and lose her sanity.

After alleviating the discomfort of her headache, Nan Yan went outside.

Since Nolan had not restricted her movements further after putting on the restraining bracelet, she was free to roam within the confines of the base. Except for a few special laboratories she couldn’t access, she had access to other areas.

She needed to find a way to establish contact with the outside world..
