I Really Didn’t Mean To Be The Saviour Of The World

Chapter 90: Chapter 88: Relief 1

Harrison Clark was taken aback, “What?”

Seeing his shocked expression, Nora Camp was already mentally prepared for it.

Actually, it wasn’t an impulsive idea for her, but something she had thought about for a long time.

Back when Harrison Clark took part in the military competition, she suspected that the evolutionary stage he represented had already surpassed that of the current human beings and was the “post-human” of the next era.

The all-round analysis of his training data and personal gene samples by the Ancient Civilization Research Institute further confirmed this possibility.

Humans have mastered the genetic technology for thousands of years and have tried and refined it in many ways, even some unethical dark research has never stopped.

But so far, no one’s genetic makeup had ever been as perfect as Harrison Clark’s in terms of physical abilities.

Even if there were some that came close, they still couldn’t cross that line as he did.

Without serum injection, the fighting genius Needham Brown, raised by the runaway faction, could withstand a sudden acceleration of 15G but not for long. Now, after serum injection, Harrison Clark could withstand an acceleration of at least 25G.

And, it seemed that his daily serum injections had led to mutations in his blood and physical abilities.

Even without injections, he could usually withstand an acceleration of around 15G, and his endurance was even longer than Needham Brown’s.

The Ancient Civilization Research Institute tried to fuse Harrison Clark’s muscle cells with those of ordinary humans at the genetic level, but these mutated cells died quickly without exception.

Of course, they also sent beautiful medical staff nurses to sample Harrison Clark and tried to cultivate embryonic cells, but even with billions of samples, they still failed.

Scholars at the Ancient Civilization Research Institute didn’t know where the problem lied and could only speculate that “post-human” Harrison Clark was gradually becoming reproductively isolated from ordinary people.

After a comprehensive system match, ten genes were finally screened out from the existing people worldwide and trillions of stored genes that may not be reproductively isolated from him.

One of them was the genius commander, Nora Camp.

When the senior leaders discussed this matter with Nora Camp, she didn’t feel embarrassed or uncomfortable, and generously reported that her intuition had already told her this answer even before the series of rigorous research and verification had been completed.

At that time, she almost volunteered to say it.

But back then, she hadn’t made up her mind completely yet, as it was ultimately her personal decision.

Then Harrison Clark and Daniel Thompson went out on a mission and encountered an accident. Daniel Thompson was killed in action, and Harrison Clark was trapped in a dangerous situation.

It seemed that she did nothing, but in fact, as soon as she got the complete combat report the next day, she submitted an equipment improvement proposal to the military brass, hoping that they would develop a better Azure Dragon Armor based on Harrison Clark’s personal abilities.

But her proposal was rejected.

The high-level reasons were also sufficient.

There was only one sentence in the approval reply.

“The improvement tailored for individuals is not significant and not worth a lot of time and effort to tackle. The current technology of the Azure Dragon Armor from production to use is extremely mature and can hardly be changed. Time does not allow, nor do the conditions.”

This reply settled the matter.

So she went to Martha Owen and persuaded her to sacrifice her personal time and work overtime for the targeted improvement of the Azure Dragon Armor.

She also paid out of her own pocket, spent all her savings, and contacted the ordnance factory in advance to complete the use of the improved materials and components.

In order to accomplish this, she went through many processes.

Now, even though she was talking about conditions with Harrison Clark, she had actually completed all the preparatory work in advance.

“Well… General Camp, I don’t quite understand your intentions.”

After calming down, Harrison Clark looked at her.

He had to admit that, putting aside her status, Nora Camp was a stunning beauty.

But he didn’t let it go to his head and think she was in love with him.

“There’s no particular intention, just wanting a child like this. As I said earlier, your fighting talent is exceptional, and my commanding ability is also top-notch. So, I have reason to believe that a child born from the combination of our genes will bring a surprise to this era.”

Harrison Clark was speechless at first.

Is that realistic?

But your theory may not hold water.

Nora Camp still saw through his thoughts and said, “I know that the success rate is not 100%, and perhaps the combination of genius can still give birth to mediocre offspring, but it’s worth a shot.”

Harrison Clark couldn’t accept her bizarre post-human view of love, “Well, shouldn’t there be some emotional basis for this kind of thing? It’s too sudden.” Nora Camp thought for a moment, “You mean dating?”

Harrison Clark nodded, “In a sense, yes.”

“Dating is a luxury that only low-income earners are eligible for! Neither you, nor I, none of the first-class citizens like us – outstanding soldiers and creative workers in all walks of life – have the right to date! I’ve read many ancient love novels, but such unions are too inefficient and not conducive to the evolution of the race’s genetic makeup. Excellent genes should merge with each other and fight for that infinite possibility. It’s all for the sake of humanity.”

Harrison Clark swallowed his saliva, feeling that he was about to be convinced.”But there’s less than a year left before the war, isn’t it too late to raise our offspring to adulthood?”

Nora Camp asked confidently, “How do you know we’ll definitely lose? Even if we lose, can’t we at least hold on for a few years? Ancient wars lasted for decades, and this time humans have no other way out, so they won’t give up easily!”

Harrison Clark was shocked by her confident appearance.

He thought to himself, perhaps this is the fearlessness that comes from ignorance?

“Sorry, I refuse.”

But in the end, he shook his head.

Because of Daniel Thompson, he had already experienced the torment borne from an early death once before.

He didn’t want to have more entanglements with this era, especially not wanting to start a relationship with anyone.

Because he knew Nora Camp would die, and how she would die.

Although he would die as well, he could be resurrected, so his mindset was different.

He was afraid of growing real feelings.

Compared to Nora Camp’s blind confidence, Harrison Clark’s attitude toward the future was one of blind despair.

“I’ve known you would refuse all along.”

Nora Camp smiled, “So please take a look at this document. My previous actions were just because I didn’t want to force you, but it seems there’s no choice now.”

Harrison Clark took the document and glanced at it.

“Nuwa Proposal—On the Genetic Combination of Second Lieutenant Harrison Clark and Major General Nora Camp.”

“Second Lieutenant Harrison Clark, please tell me loudly, what is the first rule of the World Army?”

Harrison Clark replied weakly, “Subordinates absolutely obey superiors!”

“Louder!”

“Subordinates absolutely obey superiors!”

“So, what is your decision?”

Harrison Clark shrugged, “Sorry, I won’t buy into this. Yes, I’m disobeying an order. Go ahead and kick me out?”

Nora Camp was taken aback.

She didn’t expect Harrison Clark to be so stubborn and couldn’t understand his mindset at all.

Just then, Nora Camp’s communicator rang.

She turned around with a gloomy expression, and a projection of a white-haired woman appeared on the table.

The woman had a chubby, round face and dazzling silver hair covering her head.

With dark circles under her eyes, she spoke weakly, “Sis, I’ve completed your task. Thanks to the new black alloy extracted from the modified armors of the fleeing faction, I’ve completely overhauled the Azure Dragon Armor, doubling its performance on its current basis.”

Nora Camp covered her mouth in surprise, “Martha Owen, what happened to your hair?”

Martha Owen let out an annoyed sigh, “I was afraid I wouldn’t make it in time, and the Weapon Factory needed time too. So, I injected myself with 24 bottles of stimulant in a month. Now my head is a mess, and my hair turned white.

How come no one told me that using stimulants continuously would turn your hair white? I guess I have to take a break. I’ve sent you a copy of the design, I’m going to sleep.”

After that, Martha Owen cut off the communication.

“Harrison, did you see that? To upgrade your Azure Dragon Armor, Martha did all this…Fine, even if you refuse to execute the order, no one would be willing to kick you out of the army. I’ll still find a way to get you the modified version. But can you bear to let Martha’s efforts go in vain?”

Harrison Clark thought for a long time.

“Alright.”

Nora Camp was overjoyed.

Harrison Clark looked at her expression and was speechless.

For the sake of a better Azure Dragon Armor and to survive a few seconds longer, he’d sacrifice a bit of his dignity.

After a long time had passed.

He wondered, ”Um…aren’t you taking anything off?”

Nora Camp asked back, “Take off what?”

“Take off your clothes!”

“Oh no, you’ll go back to your dormitory and play holochess. Your genetic essence will be sent to the lab through a pipe, and the subsequent synthesis will be completed in the lab.”

Harrison Clark:

He didn’t know whether to feel relieved or regretful.

The wonders of genetic essence..
