Chapter 1323: Fierce Fight! Master and Disciple 83 (Part 2)

As the night approaches, the eager atmosphere of the New Year begins to rise. Tonight is the first night of the New Year, and the theme activities of various districts have been launched as early as 7 o'clock.

Just after 8 o'clock, Hua Shen returned to his residence tiredly. He had just returned from a nearby hospital. The dark house was constantly changing colors because of the neon lights coming in from the street. Hua Shen stood quietly at the door. On the dim light and shadow screen, there were data of patients with withering from all over the hospital.

Hua Shen's tired expression seemed extremely solemn. In just a few hours, another 16 people eventually died of multiple organ failure. The accurate body data before death was transmitted back, but in these data, there was no case of cells stopping self-death before.

Hua Shen was a little tired. He didn't know what to do. For the first time, he was helpless in the face of the disease. No matter what method was used, there was still no way to cure withering. The hope that was finally found was slim. The probability was too low, so low that Hua Shen didn't even have time to know everything, and life passed by in a hurry.

The cause of ordinary people's withering has now been found. It is caused by the unexplained death genome carried in the human mutation and proliferation genome in the original life vaccine. The current probability of the disease is 1.78%. The official life gene that was successfully studied in the future cloning plan has removed this group of death genes that may cause withering, but the death gene carried in the body of the people of the previous era cannot be eliminated.

Nowadays, no one is willing to study withering anymore. This is like an insurmountable barrier in medicine. The life medical treatment developed by the future cloning plan is already quite problematic. There are two types. One is a supplementary vaccine injected for people of the previous era, and the other is effective for people under 30 years old.

The newly developed life vaccine is quite stable. So far, no withering has occurred. There are even comments in society saying that there is no need to spend a lot of time and money to study the cure for withering. Most of the people of the previous generation are now in their 50s and 60s, and most are even in their 70s and 80s.

Soon many people will enter old age. Now the saying that the elderly are useless is prevalent in society. Many people who have nowhere to vent their anger because of their poor life have pointed their fingers at the remaining elderly people.

This phenomenon is abnormal. Most doctors who used to study the cure for atrophy have withdrawn from the research because the time, energy and money required are a bottomless pit in front of this disease.

Hua Shen temporarily turned off the light and shadow screen and walked into a room with only a sofa. There was no furniture around. This freely transformable sofa was where Hua Shen rested after being tired. Everything was simple. Hua Shen didn't want to waste time on life problems.

Nowadays, Hua Shen is devoted to atrophy. It has been nearly a year. Hua Shen studies everything about atrophy every day.

Many classmates have persuaded Hua Shen to give up, because if this problem wants to be solved, it is impossible in a short time. At least Hua Shen is powerless alone. Although Hua Shen has gotten rid of some classmates to help, they can only help Hua Shen within their authority and ability. The rest of Hua Shen can only be done by himself.

All the problems nowadays are bothering Hua Shen. He cannot sleep at night. Every day, Hua Shen's mind is full of the death genomes that may induce atrophy. There are at least hundreds of such genomes, and when so many genomes are combined with the normal genomes of humans, many problems will arise.

Mutants are one of the problems. In fact, if the ability of mutants is macroscopic, there may be more human mutation abilities, but the abilities born from these human mutation genes cannot violate the genetic situation of humans themselves.

A series of complex and changeable things always linger in Hua Shen's mind. In the end, Hua Shen was forced to use the mutants' violent alienated cells to test the cells that were dying from atrophy. The results of the test surprised Hua Shen. The cells of a large number of dying atrophy patients stopped dying, and some of them avoided the fate of death, but merged with the violent self-devouring alienated cells and became stable.

Hua Shen's research has delayed the onset of many patients with withering to the greatest extent, but it is still impossible to stop it. According to Hua Shen's research, there are no mutants among patients with withering, which is very worth studying.

Although the current Action Department has a set of overall methods for training mutants, this set of methods is not 100%. Breaking through the limits of human physical fitness, unlocking the alienated genome carried in the life vaccine, allowing it to begin to proliferate, and thus transforming from humans to mutants, the success rate is less than 20%, which is already a very low number.

And even more people who have not exercised a lot can easily become mutants. Although the probability is lower, less than 1%, it has actually occurred.

In the end, Hua Shen found the common point between ordinary people with withering and mutants' violent self-destruction. It is this common point that allowed Hua Shen to find a way to solve the death caused by the death gene in both.

It's a pity that all this is still in the theoretical stage. It is very difficult to enter the experimental stage. Hua Shen is also worried about whether he should continue. The things on his shoulders are getting heavier and heavier, because Hua Shen cannot guarantee what will happen to human beings if he really does it.

The only thing Hua Shen can think of now is cell innovation technology. This technology is extremely secretive. In the past, there was a cell called HeLa in human society. It was extracted from a woman's cervical cancer cell. The cell line of this cell will not die and can continue to divide and proliferate indefinitely.

More than two hundred years ago, humans relied on this infinitely dividing cell to embark on the road of anti-aging, and also relied on this cell to solve many problems. This cell is still in the core cell specimen room of the 10th Department of Brilliant City for some medical research.

It is precisely because such an incredible cell exists that Hua Shen will think about this problem. If this cell can be conquered and used to improve the number and speed of human cell divisions, and finally achieve infinite proliferation, then people will have eternal life.

Hua Shen suddenly stood up. He stared at the neon lights in front of him quietly. The shadows of seven gods emerged in his mind. They were no longer human beings, or another kind of life form. Gene accidentally revealed this secret to Hua Shen before. Hua Shen said that he wanted to see Gene's cells very much, and finally Gene allowed it.

Hua Shen was completely shocked that time. Gene's cells overturned all the inherent concepts that Hua Shen had since studying medicine.

"This is a curse for us, not something to be happy about. Remember not to explore it, because with the limits of human beings, it is impossible to explore it."

Hua Shen still remembered what Gene said to him at that time. Hua Shen did not explore the secrets of God again, but now if Hua Shen wants to continue to study the atrophy disease and the violent self-destruction of mutants, he will inevitably come into contact with the field of cell innovation. According to Hua Shen's idea, this kind of cell innovation can make the heart repaired within two or three seconds even if it is pierced, just like the gods.

Beep beep

Just as Hua Shen was thinking, a contact signal popped up on the light and shadow screen. It was from the 118th District Hospital. The patient named Ding Manman died. Hua Shen was stunned for a moment.

Although the current medical facilities still accept patients with atrophy, they can only rely on medical equipment to maintain their remaining lives, and there is no way to carry out any treatment. If it were not for the help of the students in the 4th department, they would not be able to provide all the data of these patients. Basically, patients with atrophy are now sent to the hospital to wait for death.

The hospital will only let the family take the patient home after renting the medical equipment to the family.

Hua Shen walked to the window, looking at the lights in the distance with a sad expression, and his heart was full of mixed feelings. He wanted to cure atrophy. Now there are at least hundreds of thousands of people with potential atrophy outbreaks, and these people will inevitably encounter such a nightmare in the future.

"I can only continue my research."

Hua Shen turned around, walked to the sofa, turned on the light and shadow screen, called up the physical data of each patient and continued to read it carefully.

9:03 pm

Ran Yu, his son Moore, and his brother Ran Qiu, with the help of several Hillman family bodyguards, carefully moved their dying mother to the take-off and landing plane. Now their mother Ding Manman will be sent to Hillman Pharmaceutical's top medical institution. Eddie has promised that he will do everything he can to save Ding Manman.

It's just that the two children don't know where their father went at such an important time. Although Ran Yu knows that his father may be talking about something with Eddie, and the content of this conversation determines the life and death of his mother, this is Ran Yu's current thinking, and his brother Ran Qiu next to him is the same, but it doesn't matter now, because the mother has died in the hospital records.

According to Eddie, some medical technologies that can save Ding Manman are illegal and cannot be made public. The two also know it well and don't intend to make it public.

At this time, the dean was standing at the entrance of the rooftop. Eddie smiled at the dean. The dean nodded and held the light and shadow mobile phone. There was an account on it, and there was an extra 1 million in it.

"Dean, this matter..."

"Don't worry, Lord Eddie, no one will know. Besides, Lord Eddie, I also came from Hillman Pharmaceuticals."

Eddie was a little surprised. After the dean said some good words, Eddie nodded and turned to leave. He winked at several mutant bodyguards, and they quickly followed the dean down. They were responsible for handling the follow-up matters and monitoring the dean.

"Only dead people will not leak secrets."

Eddie sneered and stepped into the take-off and landing machine. Prometheus had set up a complete plan. The dean would definitely die in the next three months.

When stepping into the take-off and landing machine, Eddie looked to the south and smiled with relief. Eddie was very relieved to hand this matter over to Ran Zhi.

In the past, many times when Ran Zhi helped Eddie transport some goods, the work and negotiations on the military side were completed independently by Ran Zhi, without leaving any handles or even clues.

This was very shocking to Eddie. Ran Zhi had a talent in negotiation that even Prometheus could not calculate, and he could get things done easily, which was something Eddie admired very much.

"He should have set foot on the land of the barrier area by now!"

9:32

Along with a burst of dust, Ran Zhi coughed. A large modified truck stopped in front of him, and several modified people behind him who helped him cross the ravine also turned and left.

There were more than 30 people in the truck. When one of the people in charge came down, he bowed respectfully and invited Ran Zhi to get on the truck. After entering the truck, Ran Zhi discovered that there was a small living room at the front, and a room for transporting items and goods at the back. For personnel.

Ran Zhi immediately understood. Sure enough, the Hillman family not only had the stronghold of Alatan Ula in the barrier area, but also had some small strongholds in other places.

The outside of the truck was relatively shabby, and as soon as he got on the truck, the person in charge gave Ran Zhi a set of shabby clothes that only people in the barrier area had, and the truck began to move slowly.

"Mr. Wise, please read the information first."

Ran Zhi nodded. On a light and shadow screen, there was the latest image data of the Alata Ula Mountains. You could see that the blasted gate was being repaired, and there were a large number of people with weapons patrolling the periphery. It seemed that these criminals were The combat effectiveness is relatively strong.

After watching for a few minutes, Ran Zhi probably understood that this group of criminals had a clear division of labor and were extremely strict in their patrols. There were also secret sentries at many high points to observe. They did not destroy the natural bunkers near the entrance, but only the internal situation. can not see.

"Is there any other information?"

The person in charge quickly pulled out a piece of information. Ran Zhi looked at it carefully and found that they were some vicious criminal gangs that were rampant at the bottom of the city in the past. They fled the city before the crime was investigated and were very sensitive, so they avoided it. The arrest of the criminal department was launched.

Along the way, Ran Zhi also figured out how the Hillman family cooperated with them. Ran Zhi also knew it well. From the beginning when they were fighting, to the time when the Hillman family started to provide them with funds, let them It has grown stronger and formed a strength at the bottom that cannot be ignored. Many people in this group have some murder cases on their hands, and even past administrators and managers died in their hands.

After they grew to a certain extent, they did cause various problems in the city as Eddie thought. After finally escaping to the barrier area, the Hillman family continued to support them and allowed them to establish a business in Jizhigrad. They started a stable life, but it was razed to the ground during last year's military raids. Although the administrative department also paid a heavy price, a gathering place that took ten years to build was transformed overnight. They were razed to the ground, which was devastating to these criminals.

However, what Ran Zhi couldn't figure out was why these criminals were able to know the correct location of the base in the Alatan Ula Mountains and how they could easily break through this base.

"I advise you to investigate in detail. There is a traitor in the Hillman family."

The person in charge smiled and shook his head.

"Mr. Wise, you can rest assured of this."

Ran Zhi naturally knows that the root of Eddie's confidence is that he does control everyone with his AI technology, but things will always go wrong. But Ran Zhi doesn't want to delve into other people's problems. The key lies in this negotiation. , how to open a breakthrough, Ran Zhi had already thought of something on the way here.

The most urgent thing that Eddie needs to do now is to gather the researchers and research data in the base. It is obvious that the other leaders also know this. Ran Zai looked at the information of each leader and thought about how to leverage them.

"Mr. Ran Zhi, I won't disturb your designated plan. Now we are going around from south to west. It will take at least 2 days to arrive."

Ran Zhi nodded. Ran Zhi was the only one left in the small living room, and he continued to read the information.

"We already have a plan, right?"

Ran Zhi smiled. He knew that the success rate of this negotiation was 100%, and he probably already knew the situation of these criminals. This seemingly strong relationship would actually turn into nothing with just the slightest disturbance. Nothing.

Ran Zhi knows the perpetrators better than anyone else. These guys got together because they wanted to survive, but once they settle down, the situation will be completely different.

"principal!"

Ran Zhi shouted, and soon the person in charge opened the door and stood respectfully at the door.

"After we get there, let's live a leisurely life for a month. Then we'll start negotiating, but I need to be able to keep in touch with Eddie."

"Of course Mr. Ran Zhi, Mr. Eddie has already said that everything will be at your command."

Ran Zhi nodded.

In less than 20 minutes, the person in charge brought over an old-fashioned black telephone with only touch buttons. After a few minutes, the call was connected.

"How's it going? Do you have any countermeasures?"

"One hundred percent success."

Eddie's hearty laughter came from the other side of the phone.

"My 100% does not mean your 100% Eddie, think about it clearly, think about it! If I can't see my wife when I come back."

"Of course, we will do our best to ensure that Ms. Ding Manman recovers."

Ran Zhi nodded.

"A warning to you Eddie, there is a traitor in the Hillman family. You'd better pay attention. Although AI can help you solve many problems, it doesn't solve all of them."

Ran Zhi hung up the phone immediately after speaking.

On the other side of the vision, Eddie was holding the phone and standing on the top of the Hillman Pharmaceuticals building. More than 50 doctors were checking Ding Manman's physical data in the lift. All the doctors looked bad.

"Remember, save her, or you will die!"

The doctors were all busy. Eddie had already sent Ran Yu and his nephew Moore back first, and then sent Ran Qiu away. The two also expressed their understanding and did not follow.

But Ran Zhi's last words were like a boulder falling on calm water, making Eddie's heart extremely complicated at this time.

"Who is it?"

Eddie muttered and thought of Erwin for the first time, but soon Eddie dismissed this idea. Erwin, a dedicated subordinate, would never betray him, but then he thought about it, in that base , only Erwin can collude with the outside world.

"Who is it?"

Eddie asked again. He looked at the brightly lit city. At this time, Eddie felt a trace of fear in his heart because he didn't know what was going on. This fear was not because of what the wise man said. The success was eliminated, but began to come to mind.

Eddie held his chest tightly and walked step by step to the edge of the rooftop. At this time, a flash of doubt flashed through Eddie's mind.

"Prometheus!"

However, the rationality in the heart once again gained the upper hand. It is just a string of programming language codes under its own control. It will only act according to its own instructions and give suggestions or reasonable judgments based on data.

Eddie looked at the constantly changing traffic lights on the street. Vehicles moved in an orderly manner under the command of these traffic lights. People were accustomed to traffic lights and were controlled by AI.

Eddie had thought about this day coming, but he was the one controlling AI, and it was enough to know this.

9:58 pm

boom

There was a burst of shattering sounds of dishes, and screams suddenly broke out. In a tavern in District 79, Anna stood motionless with a knife in her hand, her head had been smashed. The red blood was leaving, and a man in front of him was sobbing and covering his neck, but he soon stopped moving and his eyes widened. Someone had already reported the crime.

However, in less than a minute, a large number of people from Section 5 rushed into the tavern, directly pressed Anna on the table, put on handcuffs, and hurriedly left with Anna. The whole process was very fast.

"They don't seem to be from Section 5."

Someone saw them taking Anna directly into an alley, and then someone chased them, only to find that they disappeared strangely. At this time, several management vehicles from Section 5 drove quickly, and a large number of Section 5 personnel rushed towards them. Entered the tavern.

"Where's the prisoner?"

"It has been taken away by your people from Section 5."

A bunch of people from Section 5 looked around in surprise.

However, in the alley at this time, Anna was holding a table knife in her hand, and the five people from Section 10 who had just brought her over were already lying in a pool of blood.

Ding

Anna threw down the knife, walked to the machine warehouse, brought up a light and shadow panel, entered a string of codes on the panel, turned around and ran, jumping to the top of a house very quickly and disappearing In the dark night.

"The mission begins!"

Eddie's expression looked extremely cold. It was no longer like a human expression, but a cold machine. Anna looked around, then closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her eyes had become dark and empty. She walked slowly on the roof, carefully jumping over the tops of the houses, avoiding a large number of surveillance cameras.

Soon Anna came to the window of a house. At this time, the family was drinking wine happily, and someone noticed the uninvited guest outside the window.

"Miss, you"

Suddenly Anna stretched out her hand, and pinched the man's throat with her iron-like hands. After squeezing hard, the man's eyes widened, blood spilled from his mouth, and he fell to the ground. Anna jumped directly in.

Soon, along with the faint screams, everything calmed down. Anna left the restaurant, randomly found some clothes of the hostess of the house, quickly dressed them in front of the mirror, and after dressing up, Turning around and leaving the house, Anna had already arrived at Area 80. She was about to go down and continue her mission.

At this time, a large number of takeoffs and landings flew across the sky, and many people from Section 2 directly entered District 79 and began to inquire and investigate door to door.

Noah quietly looked at the five researchers lying in a pool of blood, feeling heartbroken. The key point was that the data had been destroyed by the virus and could not be restored. Noah didn't know what happened to Anna and why she would harm humans.

Although it is true that the man who made trouble in the tavern beat Anna because of her service attitude, Anna's AI12 program should not have the option of harming humans. If she is harmed, Anna has excellent With agency, you can run away, but you will never fight back.

The most important thing is where Anna has gone now. Noah has never been able to figure this out. The search is still going on and the search scope has been expanded, but Anna disappeared under the surveillance.

This incident can't help but remind Noah of the incident when they obtained a fully mechanical body. Who made this anthropomorphic mechanical body?

More and more things came to mind, and at this time another intelligence came that a murder case occurred in District 80, and the murderer only took away a piece of clothing from the hostess of this family. Noah thought of something, and quickly took people on the take-off and landing plane. In less than 3 minutes, they arrived at the scene of the crime. The people from Section 5 did not enter, but stayed outside.

Soon the identification results of the people from Section 4 came out. It was indeed Anna who did it. Anna was equipped with an anthropomorphic fingerprint skin system. The traces at the scene were indeed left by Anna. Noah immediately submitted the documents for a large-scale search to Jill, the secretary of Section 5. Jill soon agreed and began to order the people from Section 5 nearby to conduct a carpet search.

However, Anna had already hidden at this time. She hid in an old drainage pipe in the past. This place was not accessible to humans at all. Anna sat in a pipe filled with a lot of toxic gases, looking at the sewage that was still flowing slowly, with a touch of red light flashing in her eyes.

At this time, the light in Anna's eyes turned pink.

"Change permissions, denied!"

"Unable to change permissions, denied, try backdoor cracking"

"Still denied!"

The pink light gradually disappeared, Anna stood up again and began to walk towards the deeper sewer.
