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

Harrison Clark questioned while trying to jump out and run away.

The girl who had been holding him yelled, “Someone come quickly! Harrison Clark is trying to escape!”

The next moment, the flying building suddenly accelerated, and rushed into the landing pad inside the Institute of Life Sciences with a thunderous roar.

More than ten people rushed out of a small door near the hallway, flying towards him, trying to take him down on the spot.

All of these more than ten people were women, and about half of them had appeared at Hub Square when they first met Harrison. The others were hidden inside the rooms, and their intentions were unclear.

As a seasoned fighter thrown into this sudden situation, Harrison Clark was not panicked. He quickly broke free from the person controlling him and tried to stick half of his body out of the hall, intending to flee.

After all, with the Morrowind System on him, even if he jumped out right now and fell from mid-air, he would be safe and unharmed.

However, the opponents were merciless. The outer metal doors of the hall, which were originally wide open, suddenly flipped over, and two huge metal slabs slammed shut with a loud bang, sealing the place tight.

Harrison Clark gritted his teeth, “You guys have got some nerve! How dare you ambush a Science City expert and a World Army soldier! Get…”

His fingers trembled slightly, and he was about to call out the Morrowind System the next moment.

For Harrison Clark, breaking out of just a building would not be too difficult if he really put his mind to it.

Finally, a relatively mature woman from the crowd stepped forward, “Mr. Harrison Clark, wait! We are not thugs! We are all legitimate researchers from the Institute of Life Sciences!”

Harrison Clark angrily pointed at her, “Impossible! Although humanity in the 31st century has generally higher physical appearance due to genetic evolution, most of you are way too beautiful! And your hair is so thick and there’s not even a single strand of white hair. How can you possibly be researchers? I’m an expert and a scholar as well, so I know what I’m talking about. Don’t try to deceive me.”

Everyone exchanged glances.

The previously active long-haired girl stepped out and tried to explain awkwardly, “Mr. Harrison Clark, except for Miss Scott, who is in her forties and a skilled scholar, most of the others here are in their twenties, serving as interns or qualified scholars. This is my work badge, you can take a look. Don’t get too agitated, seriously, we mean no harm.”

“So what do you guys want? If you want to collaborate on a project, why not send an advanced expert to talk to me?”

After checking their badges, Harrison Clark finally relaxed a bit.

The long-haired girl clasped her hands together, her fingers tightly intertwined, “Just hear me out, this is what happened…”

A long while later, Harrison Clark looked at this group of people with mixed feelings.

About a few days ago, right on the second day when he had just started to work with Nora Camp.

Nora had briefly mentioned something to him.

She asked Harrison if he wanted to participate in the Human Genome Improvement Project.

Being very familiar with this kind of invitation, Harrison Clark rejected it without hesitation.

Enough was enough, it was always like this.

Harrison wasn’t some treasure to be sought after every time.

If it really had some use, sacrificing a bit wouldn’t be a big deal for him and not worth mentioning.

However, countless past experiences made him very clear about this.

He genuinely didn’t want the scholars to waste their precious time and resources on this matter anymore.

He had been worried that his opposition would be ineffective, but surprisingly, after Nora’s refusal, there wasn’t any movement.

In this timeline, the system indeed seemed somewhat different.

Harrison now truly had the power to refuse.

In the past, he had no say in the matter, and they would just take it on the spot or steal it while he was asleep, completely disregarding his opinion.

This time, his objection was effective, but he didn’t expect these people from the Institute of Life Sciences to be so persistent, taking advantage of his voluntary trip to Science City to set an ambush for him.

In order to increase the success rate, the evil Institute of Life Sciences even selected a group of researchers who were young, beautiful, tender, and each having their own unique charm to serve as his personal gene extraction team. It was a sinister and diabolical move!

“Everyone, I understand your feelings, but let’s give up on this. There’s really no point in it.”

The researcher named Miss Scott anxiously argued, “How can it be pointless? Mr. Harrison Clark’s awakening level…”

Harrison Clark sighed, “Yes, it’s high, and I know it very well. It’s not that I’m being boastful. I just know one thing very clearly. My awakening level is too high, do you understand? I’ve most likely become reproductively isolated from ordinary people. This project is purely a waste.”

“If you haven’t tried, how can you know for sure?” Miss Scott argued.

Harrison Clark thought for a moment, “Alright, I can provide one sample. But let me be clear beforehand, I will only provide this one sample. Also, I suggest you do more simulation comparisons before officially starting the project. Only select a few combinations with the highest success rate and don’t rely on luck. If there is still a future for humanity and someone can escape with the seeds of life, then every embryo is a precious treasure.”

The long-haired girl approached, “I’ll do the extraction.”Harrison Clark waved his hand, “No need, I’ll do it myself. I’m pretty familiar with the process. I’ll let you know tonight, and you can send someone over to pick it up. Open the door, I’m leaving.”

With that, Harrison walked out without looking back.

Before he reached the main gate of the Institute of Life Sciences, he saw Martha Owen and a shrewd old man quickly approaching on a transport.

“Are you alright?”

Martha flew towards him like an angry lion, glaring at the many sample collectors following Harrison.

Harrison waved his hand, “What could go wrong?”

“What did they want from you?” Martha was still not letting it go.

Harrison was too embarrassed to say it, but Miss Scott answered frankly, “We hope Professor Clark can provide some private gene fluid samples.”

Harrison quietly turned his face away, an awkward flush appearing on his cheeks.

“It scared me! I thought they were going to dissect you for research!” Martha looked back at Harrison in surprise, “You haven’t provided gene fluid samples yet!?”

Harrison nodded blankly, “Yeah, what’s the problem?”

“Hasn’t anyone asked you?”

“Someone did, but I refused.”

Martha looked at him angrily, “How could you be so selfish!”

Harrison silently watched her, his mind unable to comprehend her reaction.

Are you friend or foe?

Maybe people’s worldview really is different.

After understanding the situation, Martha claimed there was no time for delay and voluntarily urged the Institute of Life Sciences to expedite his delivery.

If the project started one second earlier, results might be obtained one second earlier too. Martha was more anxious than the sample collectors.

But Harrison adamantly refused, insisting to wait until tonight.

He could fight off others’ entanglements and break free by force. However, since Martha was a familiar face, it was not convenient for him to be too aggressive.

As the crowd’s arguments reached an impasse, the shrewd old man who had arrived with Martha quietly made a sign to the others.

“Ah!”

Harrison felt a stinging pain in his buttocks.

Turning around, he saw the old rascal holding a thick, arm-sized syringe, its needle resting on his buttocks.

The old man pushed the plunger with one hand while grinning cheekily, “Sorry, the dose is a bit larger than usual based on your gene awakening level.” Then, he raised his voice to the people from the Institute of Life Sciences, “Quick! Everyone, come here! 1 added a little something extra to the injection! He’ll produce at least three times the normal amount!”

The next day, Harrison sat up in bed.

Martha sat by his bedside with her hands on her knees, like an obedient child.

Feeling a numbness around his waist, Harrison could barely contain his anger.

“Tell me! How many samples were taken last night?”

Martha held up her thumb, “Six times the usual amount.”

Seeing that Harrison was about to explode, she quickly waved her hand, “Don’t worry! There are no side effects! You have a great constitution! Besides,’you’re not going back anytime soon, and you wouldn’t have anywhere to use it, so just consider it a contribution to mankind.”

Harrison pointed at her, ”You…sigh.”

In the end, even the great Harrison Clark could not withstand the betrayal from within.

It’s impossible to guard against!
