Indescribable cyberpunk - #634 - Chapter 619 Burning Snow
呲~
Amidst the low sound of jets, the silver-gray mechanical cabin that stood nearly two meters high in the laboratory and looked similar to a coffin started up.
The outer frame remains unchanged, the middle cabin rotates and gradually becomes parallel to the ground, and the mechanical cabin doors expand to both sides, revealing the “
Experimental material”.
A naked, middle-aged man with black patches all over his body and a bloated figure.
“Number 0163, formerly a resident of Community No. 36, was infected 15 days ago. His body has not completely mutated. After observation, the black spots have spread to 80% of the body. It is a critical case.”
The researcher reported the information about the infected people in the cabin and looked at the two people standing side by side.
“This is your place, don’t worry about me.”
Grand, the director of the epidemic prevention center, said to the students beside him.
“Let the experiment begin.”
Troph nodded and waved to continue.
The robotic arm hangs down from the upper level of the culture cabin. Inside the machine mounted on the end is a hollow vessel filled with light green liquid, approaching the middle-aged man in the cabin.
Except for Grand, everyone’s attention was focused on the experiment at the moment. As for the former, he quietly retreated and turned towards the medicine storage warehouse on one side.
Half an hour later, Experimental Subject No. 033 was declared dead.
After another failure, the mechanical cabin was re-closed. The atmosphere in the laboratory was depressing and panicked. The overloaded operations in recent days had stretched everyone’s nerves to the limit.
As the person in charge of the laboratory, Troph was naturally aware of this situation. He comforted everyone and temporarily let everyone rest for half an hour.
After leaving the laboratory, Troph walked Grand, who was about to go home, to the door. When no one was around, the former, who had seemed energetic before, was also full of exhaustion.
“33 experiments, compared to other previous experiments, this is considered a small number, but this time. Every failure means the death of an infected person, and we still have not found a method that can eliminate the virus in the infected person. There is not even a glimmer of hope in existence.”
After walking out of the door, he took out a cigarette from his arms and lit it. Troph frowned. Only in front of Grand and Newcastle could he complain.
“Now I even doubt whether there is such a substance in the world. The symptoms of the disease displayed by these infected people are beyond the scope of scientific explanation. I doubt that we can develop a vaccine or specific medicine with the existing medical technology.” , I’m afraid the success rate is not optimistic.”
“I can understand how you feel now. There is nothing you can do about it. I have lived for so many years and I have never encountered such a weird disease. It… Anyway, come on, there are not many suggestions I can give you.”
Faced with the students’ complaints, Grand just looked at the snowy scene on the street and hesitated.
The street lights reflected on his face and body, which should have made him brighter, but instead looked inexplicably dark because of the wrinkles on his face.
“I understand, I’m just complaining in front of you. This is my duty. No matter how difficult it is, I have to face it!”
Troph looked at the stooped mentor and did not discuss any more questions about the epidemic.
“You go back.”
His eyes fell on the figure standing somewhere on the street. Grand patted Troph on the shoulder and said.
“Then please be safe on the road.”
The work in the laboratory cannot be separated from Troph for a moment, and he knew this clearly, so he responded and turned around to return.
When the assistant saw that the two of them had finished talking, he was about to come forward to pick up Grande. The airship specially equipped for him by the Qianfan City government was parked not far away. Unexpectedly, halfway through, he saw Grande making a pause gesture. Go to the other side.
Seeing that the old man didn’t hold an umbrella, the assistant wanted to come forward again, but he couldn’t help but stop when he saw someone walking towards him not far away from his direction.
“Teacher, are you done with your work? Let’s talk while walking?”
Under the wide black umbrella was Lawrence wearing an off-white long windbreaker. As he spoke, he raised the umbrella. The glasses on the bridge of his nose were glowing under the neon light, completely hiding the eyes behind him. There was still something in his empty hand. Holding an umbrella, it seems that I have been waiting here for a long time.
With Mr. Lawrence following me, why should I worry about it?
With this idea in mind, the assistant just followed the two people walking side by side, keeping a certain distance, while the airship followed behind him to ensure that it could be in place at any time.
“Are you so anxious?”
Leaning on crutches, Grand looked at Lawrence with eyes as gloomy and cold as this wet snowy night.
“in a hurry?”
Lawrence smiled,
“To say that we are anxious, aren’t you also very anxious now? Mr. Grand, this time is the key to your part. Of course I have to come and take a look. It seems to be quite successful now. Doesn’t this mean that What do you think?”
As if someone had poked his mind, Grand paused in his steps and stared sideways at Lawrence. After a few seconds, he looked away again, his face gloomy.
“It was my fault. I should not have been bewitched by the devil. If I could do it all over again, I would rather fall into hell than agree to your conditions!”
The already old face became more and more depressed at this moment, annoyance, regret, and various emotions filled Grand’s eyes.
“With all due respect, even if you had it to do over again, you would still accept the proposal. In my opinion, you have really overestimated your own willpower. No one can resist the suggestion of a great existence. That is the most precious blessing in the world. , compliance is the only choice, whether it’s you or me.”
“You are a monk over there in the Holy City. If I remember correctly, the position you have shown is not available to those who are not religious and devout, but you are here talking to me about the great existence. Oh, people who abandon their faith, but want others Don’t you feel disgusted to believe what you believe?”
Grand, who was in a bad mood, didn’t care about offending Lawrence and said directly.
“The past was wrong. Do we have to go on the wrong road to the end? What’s more, what the Holy City worships now. To turn away from the right and go to the wrong is to turn away. And I am going from the wrong to the right. According to Eastern proverbs, I should It’s called turning from darkness to light, isn’t it?”
Lawrence didn’t seem to want to dwell on this issue and simply changed the subject.
“Where’s the guy from the Weird Studio? If I remember correctly, he must have fought against you many times. Why can’t that great being let him accept this blessing?”
Curling his lips disdainfully at Lawrence’s words, Grand quickly thought of another example to refute.
“You don’t have to worry about this. He should be suffering torture a hundred times more terrifying than you did back then somewhere in Qianfan City, and he is destined not to receive our forgiveness. Death will definitely come, and the only thing that belongs to him is In the end, this snow will eventually perish in the world!”
“I hope so!”
In response to this, Grande really didn’t know how to answer, so he could only reply in a low voice.
“There are only a few days left, Mr. Grand. You must understand that what is happening now and what will happen in the future are bound to happen. No one can stop the coming of the great being. This city will eventually become the kingdom of God.” Partly, it depends on your choice to be a crushed ant or an ant immortalized.”
“Ants. Is this what you people think of us?”
“I don’t want to lie to you, Mr. Ge Lang. If you want to hear flattery, I’m really sorry. I don’t have the habit of flattering ants.”
Although he said “you” every time, there was no respect in Lawrence’s words.
“Ants will bite when they are cornered!”
The palm holding the wooden staff suddenly tightened, and Grand replied word by word.
“No, no, no.”
Raising his hand, raising his index finger and shaking it from side to side, Lawrence raised his chin and lowered his eyes to look at Grand. The snowflakes around him instantly melted into water droplets and fell down.
The scorching air hit Ge Lang directly. He gritted his teeth and did not retreat.
However, the next second, in a daze, Ge Lang saw the person in front of him lighting up the snow!
The assistant following the two people looked at the two people who suddenly stopped facing each other with some confusion. For a moment, he didn’t know whether to move closer or continue to stand there and wait.
Lawrence seemed to notice Grand’s assistant, and suddenly put away his ability, and instead hugged Grand’s shoulders very affectionately, bent down to his ear, and whispered: “Before the ants bite, I will Turn it to ashes!”
