Great Power Technology - #592 - Chapter 583 False Hope

After the key event was triggered, the information flow slowly came in, and Ye Zhou finally understood his situation.

He is indeed a poor patient, but at the same time, he also shoulders another identity, that is, an undercover agent of a Novartis pharmaceutical company.

His purpose is to collect evidence of ASPEN’s crimes in the immune reconstruction project and submit the evidence to his own escalation, thereby introducing international humanitarian and judicial forces to forcibly terminate the project.

Of course, the reason for doing this is not because of the nobleness of the company he works for. In fact, this is pure business competition.

The research and development direction of Novartis is similar to that of ASPEN, but it has chosen a more conservative route and uses gene editing technology. The company’s senior management believes that if the current trend continues, ASPEN will be the first to break through the immune reconstruction technology, thus affecting Novartis’s global position. of dominance.

Therefore, they must take measures.

Looking at the man who collapsed on the ground and gradually died, Ye Zhou felt a strong sense of irony.

What if ASPEN is allowed to continue? Their technical direction is already wrong, and they can’t produce valuable results anyway, right? ——

But if this is really the case, why does the simulator arrange itself to enter this plot?

Ye Zhou was once again confused. After a brief thought, he returned to his tent, and then found the miniature camera and communicator that had been hidden among a pile of debris.

The experimental hall was not tightly guarded. After waiting for a period of time, Ye Zhou used a communicator to contact his superiors while there was no one around. Soon, he got the information he wanted.

His experiment will start in two days, and what he needs to do is to take pictures of the entire experiment process.

At the same time, he also used his own words to guide the doctors in charge of the experiments to say, “This is a drug that has not been tested for safety, this is an immature technology,” and so on, thereby confirming their crimes.

The task is not easy, but compared to the simulation plots Ye Zhou has experienced before, it is already very easy.

All he needs to do is wait.

At night, another experimenter was sent back to the experimental hall. His condition was almost exactly the same as what Ye Zhou saw during the day. He had explosive DIC, most of the organs in his body failed, he kept vomiting, and he fell into shock in a short period of time. coma.

According to Ye Zhou’s speculation, these two people should have developed rejection symptoms in the laboratory and were kicked out of the laboratory after it was determined that there was no room for rescue. After all, based on Ye Zhou’s understanding of these capitalists, they were It is absolutely impossible to let go of an experimenter who may bring about a breakthrough easily.

Therefore, their death did not occur in the future or in the present, but occurred at the moment they signed the agreement and walked into the laboratory.

The remaining time is just a boring countdown.

Ye Zhou felt an unprecedented chill. He couldn’t help but think, did those doctors or researchers know that their patients would die?

He once heard a saying that in a hospital, only doctors would never betray you, and only doctors would never want you to die, but here, the situation was different.

They certainly don’t want the experimenter to die, they just don’t care.

Looking at the bright lights flickering outside the scattered tents in the hall, Ye Zhou fell into deep thought.

If this is the case, even if ASPEN cannot affect the progress of immune reconstruction technology in the end, you should do your best to end this evil project quickly, right?

After all, technological research based on indifference to life is absolutely impossible to achieve results.

But what if ASPEN really has a breakthrough?

What if they finally overcome the rejection reaction through repeated experiments and therapeutic adjustments?

When the time comes, how should you make your choice?

Before he could figure out the answer, Hobo walked over to him and sat down.

After Ye Zhou’s active communication during the day, the other party seemed to have a strange trust in Ye Zhou, a man who did not deliberately avoid him. He looked at Ye Zhou’s face and said:

“It’s scary, isn’t it?”

Ye Zhou nodded slightly but did not answer.

According to the previous information, Hobo will soon undergo the next experiment. He was lucky enough not to have any rejection reactions in the previous experiments, but a person’s luck will always run out. This time, he Will his life still be so good?

For him, probably every experiment he participated in was a gamble – just like the thousands of gambles he had made.

The only difference is that in this gambling game, he only has a chance to get a huge bonus if he wins to the end.

If Ye Zhou looks at it from an economic perspective, the expectations of this kind of gambling are really too low, and may not even be 10%. However, even 10% expectations are enough for a gambler to risk his life. .

What a contradictory and sad choice.

Seeing Ye Zhou didn’t answer, Huo Bo continued:

“In fact, people die here every day – some die of illness, some die because of experiments. Everyone knows it, but no one will report it.”

“We can’t afford to offend ASPEN’s forces, and this is indeed our only hope, isn’t it?”

“Maybe.”

Ye Zhou sighed and reluctantly answered.

“Don’t be so disappointed. You will get used to it gradually. You have to believe that you are the lucky one. You look good. I think there is hope that you can persevere until the end.”

Ye Zhou nodded, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly asked:

“And you?”

“Me? What’s wrong with me?”

“Will you be the lucky one?”

Huo Bo was stunned by Ye Zhou’s question. He smiled and replied:

“Maybe I will. Who can say for sure? But I have figured out what I should do after I get the money.”

“Going to the casino for a big gamble?”

Ye Zhou asked curiously.

“of course.”

Huo Bo replied matter-of-factly. Ye Zhou was a little disappointed with this answer. He thought that the other party would find his way back after going through so many things.

But obviously, a person’s nature will not change so easily.

“But I will only use part of the money to gamble.”

Huo Bo’s words interrupted Ye Zhou’s thoughts.

“The other part is that I will buy a house in the countryside. It doesn’t have to be too big. After all, I can’t get married or have children anymore.”

“I will live there until I die. I have thought about it. I am actually a real farmer. I can grow wheat, and I can grow it very well.”

“I heard that there is a new wheat variety in China with high yield. I want to give it a try.”

“I’d also like to adopt a few kids – just pick them up off the streets of the slums, you know, because if there’s no one to feed them, they’ll die the second night they’re abandoned.”

“This is something I’ve always wanted to do, and if I get the money, maybe I can actually do it.”

Ye Zhou felt a little emotional. He didn’t expect that there was such kindness in this man’s heart.

Maybe for him, this is the hope of life?

In my own country, people who have no worries about food and clothing would spend two dollars to buy a false hope. So what reason do I have to question that Hobo, in a completely desperate situation, would sacrifice his body and even his life for the same thing? What about false hope?

Why not eat ground meat and maybe use it on a spiritual level as well.

Ye Zhou wanted to answer him, but for a moment he didn’t know what to say. During the few seconds he hesitated, a security guard came over and called Huo Bo away.

From his words, Ye Zhou knew that Huo Bo’s experiment scheduled for a few days later had been moved forward.
