Chapter 213 Life Simulator (Krypton Version)
Just as Joey was wondering what was going on, he heard a sound coming from outside the spaceship's cabin through his keen hearing:
"The shuttle is ready, and the test subjects are ready."
"Should we start it, Bertron?"
"No, wait a minute, let's check the environmental parameters again."
The man called "Betron" approached the shuttle and carefully observed the test subject. His large, triangular face, just like E.T., startled Joey in the cabin.
"Do we really have to do this?"
The lab technician next to Tronn continued to question, "Is it all worth it?"
Bertron, whose mission was already firmly in place, would certainly not give up because of such words, for his goal was of the highest order:
"We are creating life, an invincible ultimate life form, the perfect final form, a—god!"
Even through the glass, Joey could feel the fervor in the other person's words.
"Parameter check complete."
As soon as the assisting researcher finished speaking, Bertron pressed the launch button without hesitation, his voice full of anticipation:
Goodbye, my child.
With a loud bang, the spaceship was launched from the dome of the building, but instead of flying into space, it glided for a short distance before crashing onto the planet's surface.
"WTF?"
Joey thought he had seen this episode before, but it turned out it wasn't the first episode where Kal-El was stuffed into a spaceship by his father Jor-El and escaped Krypton.
What's going on now?
As an infant, Joey struggled to get up from the shuttle's cabin. As soon as he sat up, all he could see was a desolate Gobi desert with towering sharp rocks.
The ground was covered with giant rock spikes, which were four or five people tall. These sharp rock clusters were covered with countless honeycomb-like holes eroded by wind and sun, exposing their blood-red interiors.

???
Is this just Joey's imagination?
Just now, Joey seemed to see some of the holes on those jagged stone spikes blink.
Pat pat~
Many rock clusters, resembling sharp spikes, began to move, stretching out and scattering. The originally sharp rock spikes briefly reversed, transforming into blades on the tips of their limbs and tails for predation.
It was only then that Joey realized that there were more than just sharp rocks in this rocky forest.
There are also native creatures with biomimetic camouflage that blend into their environment.
As luck would have it, Joey happened to know this creature.
This is one of the animals he had seen in the Kryptonian database, the Rhodopsyma lizard with mimicry abilities, which is the name given to it by Kryptonian archaeologists.
As prehistoric creatures of Krypton, these creatures, covered in dark gray mimicry exoskeletons and resembling lizards from Earth, were extremely cunning and deadly predators that lived around 25 years before Krypton's destruction.
Fortunately, they mysteriously went extinct along with other creatures in the same ecosystem, making room for the Kryptonians of later generations to live, and leaving behind a pile of fossils for Kryptonian prehistoric lizard enthusiasts to imagine.
In a sense, such creatures are to Krypton what dinosaurs are to Earth.
The only difference is that ordinary Earthlings generally don't die at the hands of dinosaurs when they are still babies.
"￥%#!"
These spiny-tailed lizards showed no mercy to Joey, who was still a child. Instead, they swiftly broke through the window and tore the baby's body apart with their sharp mandibles, beginning to devour him on the spot.
Poor Joey didn't even have time to struggle.
Although Joey was dead, he did not lose consciousness, but instead shifted his perspective to a higher level.
At this point, he realized that he had not restarted, but had fallen into some kind of illusion or memory.
Standing aside, he saw the mangled remains of an infant being devoured by wild beasts, and the desolate land illuminated by the blood-red sun.
This is prehistoric Krypton, with a thin and highly toxic atmosphere, devastating sunlight, temperature differences of hundreds of degrees between day and night, and completely barren and arid land, far from the paradise that existed when the Kryptonians existed.
Overall, in the eyes of genetic scientist Bertron, this is a malicious planet on which it is almost impossible for any form of life to arise.
Yet it turned the impossible into possible, giving birth to a tenacious ecosystem.
Within this ecosystem, the structure of all organisms exists almost solely for survival; predation, digestion, and hiding are all part of their DNA.
Krypton is home to one of the most lethal species known in the universe.
Their poison is instantly fatal, and their strength, speed, and ferocity are unparalleled. No invasive species can survive in such a native biosphere.
Bertron saw this as an opportunity.
He established an experimental base on Krypton, fusing extraterrestrial DNA with native organisms to create the first child born on the planet.
Then they launched the child from inside the base into the hostile outside world, so that those creatures could kill him cleanly and efficiently.
"The first experiment begins."
Scientist Bertron made his first note in his experimental notebook, and at the same time, with extreme excitement, he urged his researchers to move on to the next step of the experiment:
"Quickly! Drive those wild beasts away and collect the rest!"
Then, armed personnel were dispatched to drive away the wild animals, clean up the site, and recover the remaining tissue from the experimental subjects.
"My God."
The mobilization worker couldn't help but sigh at the horrific scene before him.
These savage, bloodthirsty native Kryptonian beasts devoured the baby faster than anyone could have imagined, consuming it completely in mere seconds. The personnel present couldn't save even a hair, let alone bones.
"There's nothing left here—"
The unfavorable start cast a shadow over Bertron's mind.
Fortunately, as a renowned biologist in the universe, his cloning technology was unparalleled, and he could clone a new individual at any time to continue his experiments.
"etc!"
Finally, in the crevices of the twisted and deformed metal of the flight cabin, the operatives found a blood-stained rag.
"That's enough!"
Upon hearing this news, Bertron had never been happier in his life. He urged the operatives to return with the gene samples on the other end of the walkie-talkie, and then rushed towards the gene cloning pod.
"We need the remaining tissue to nurture a brand new baby!"
Upon witnessing this, Joey immediately sensed something was wrong. "Holy crap! Stop it!"
Unfortunately, his protests will go unnoticed by anyone, since it is just a fragment of memory.
Soon, with the birth of the new body, Joey's consciousness, which had been detached from the body, was reinserted into the newborn infant's body.
The 2th baby was born.
Then came another launch, another time the animal devoured and gnawed at him, and then the remaining body parts were collected.
The 3th baby was born.
Died from wild animals.
The 4th baby was born.
This time, the baby's body became more agile, and under Joey's conscious control, it jumped out of the cabin ahead of time, avoiding the beast's first attack.
However, before he could take two steps forward after landing, the intense movement caused him to instinctively gasp for air, which resulted in the highly toxic atmosphere of Krypton burning through his trachea and alveoli on the spot.
The beast was far faster than a helpless infant, especially since the infant had already inhaled an excessive amount of toxic air and died.
Survival time + 0.1 seconds.
The 5th one—
