"If I say I don't agree, will you regret it, thinking that you should let me die there?"

Song Zhi shook his head: "I never assume about the past. ”

"There's no way I'm going to promise you. You want me to work on a research project that has taken the lives of all my teammates? No kidding, deep down I don't know how much I want to kill you. A cold light flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes.

"How long has it been since you saw your brother Zhou Qing?" Song Zhi suddenly spoke.

Zhou Yu's pupils twitched, and he pulled Song Zhi's collar: "What did you do to Zhou Qing?" Or did you drag him into the water too? ”

Song Zhi's fingers tapped on the back of Zhou Yu's hand, signaling him to let go of himself: "Professor Zhou is indeed a talent that we particularly cherish, a leader in plant physiology and plant embryology. For every scholar, it is a lifelong pursuit to be able to participate in cutting-edge research in their field, so you should not use the term 'dragging down' to describe our relationship with Professor Zhou. ”

"How did you convince him?"

Zhou Yu knows his younger brother. Zhou Qing is a simple scholar, but he has his own bottom line. However, Juli Group's research has exceeded that bottom line in Zhou Yu's view.

Song Zhi stood up and tidied up the corners of his clothes. Zhou Yu doesn't appreciate the kind of person who cares about his image all the time, but Song Zhi gives Zhou Yu the feeling that he is rigorous and step-by-step.

"It's not about how we persuaded Professor Zhou, it's about ...... How long has it been since you've had a good chat with your brother? Do you know where he is now? Did you feel like he needed something? Go see him, and then if you tell me categorically, you will never accept the olive branch of our Juli Group, and I promise not to disturb your life. We Juli Group are very trustworthy. ”

After saying that, Song Zhi left the room.

The world flipped over in a matter of minutes for Zhou Yu. He hadn't had time to bask in the grief of losing his teammates when another problem had already arrived.

He experiences a life-and-death confrontation with a monster, hears of a parallel world named "Nibelungen", someone wants to hire him to go to that world, and he is reminded that he has too little contact with his younger brother Zhou Qing.

A qiē is like being planned.

Zhou Yu's recovery time was faster than expected, and he left a month later in a helicopter arranged by Song Zhi.

When the helicopter swept across the sky, Zhou Yu found that they had been in a large desert all along, and once the wind and dust were raised, the vast soup seemed to be submerged.

When he arrived in the city, Zhou Yu returned to his bachelor apartment. He received a call from his superiors, and he thought he would be punished, but he didn't expect his superiors to give him a month's long vacation to recuperate.

Zhou Yu smiled helplessly, no matter how he thought about it, it was like the time given to him by Juli Group to "think about it".

He received a call from Meixi, she was very worried about him, but when she heard Zhou Yu's "Xiaomei", she cried directly on the phone.

Fortunately, the superiors did not pursue the dereliction of duty of Meixi and the other two liaisons, they should have stopped Zhou Yu in the first place, but they did not do it. Zhou Yu's squad was almost wiped out, and Meixi was also assigned to another action team.

When Meixi opened his mouth to ask Zhou Yu what he encountered in the research institute, Zhou Yu just said: "Xiaomei, live your own life, you don't need to know, you don't need to know." ”

Sometimes it's far happier to close your eyes than to chase the truth.

Meixi tacitly stopped asking.

"What about Zhao Cheng and Chen Chong?" Zhou Yu's fingers froze there.

Although he didn't deliberately think about it, their dying appearance was deeply imprinted in Zhou Yu's mind.

"The funeral is over, and it says that they died in the line of duty, and their bodies were cremated before they were returned to their relatives."

The cause of their death is a secret, and it is certainly impossible for their families to see their remains.

"I'll go see them." Zhou Yu's eyes drooped.

Then there is the relative silence with Meixi.

That afternoon, Zhou Yu went to the cemetery, looked at the tombstones of his teammates and the photos on the tombstones, and was silent.

The next day, he bought a plane ticket to another city to visit his younger brother Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing is the youngest university professor in the industry, and although he is young and ambitious, he is in-depth and simple.

Zhou Yu came to F University and made a call to his younger brother, but found that his brother's mobile phone was turned off. He went straight to Zhou Qing's office and met two of his research assistants.

"Hello, I want to find Professor Zhou Qingzhou."

"Professor Zhou is not here for the time being. I don't know who you are, what kind of scientific research organization or society? Or which biotech company? ”

Zhou Qing's reputation is very loud, and all kinds of academic or cooperation invitations are constant, but he is not good at socializing, and his assistants will politely decline instead of him if there is no need for activities.

"I'm Zhou Yu, Professor Zhou's brother."

After Zhou Yu's words were finished, the attitudes of the two assistants immediately changed.

"It turned out to be Captain Zhou, didn't Professor Zhou tell you his ward number?"

Zhou Yu was stunned in his heart, Zhou Qing was hospitalized? But I didn't know.

There was no superfluous expression on his face, and he just followed the assistant's words: "Yes, he forgot to sue me." You all know his character, and he always forgets important things. ”

"Professor Zhou lives in the No. 3 special ward of the city's No. 1 General Hospital."

"Thank you."

The bad premonition in Zhou Yu's heart was constantly expanding. Why didn't Zhou Qing sue his only eldest brother when he was sick? And I was in a special ward...... What was wrong with him?

Twenty minutes later, Zhou Yu arrived at the First General Hospital, where he learned that Zhou Qing had just undergone surgery to remove a glioma from the brain a few hours earlier. Zhou Qing's attending doctor told Zhou Yu that the tumor was malignant and had an extremely high recurrence rate. Although Zhou Qing's surgery was successful, it is expected to relapse in about six months to a year. Zhou Qing's brain will gradually be squeezed by the tumor, and he may gradually lose his vision, mobility, and breathing.

Zhou Yu's fingertips trembled.

The teammates are what he has lost, and the set result cannot be changed.

And his younger brother Zhou Qing is what he is about to lose. He was willing to do anything to save Zhou Qing, but at the same time, he also knew that he could not compete with the laws of nature.

Zhou Yu had been sitting on the edge of Zhou Qing's bed, waiting for him to wake up. In the process of waiting. He kept thinking back to what Song Zhi had said to him.

"How long has it been since you've had a good chat with your brother? Do you know where he is now? Did you feel like he needed something? Go see him, and then if you tell me categorically that you will never accept the employment of our Juli Group, I promise that it will not disturb your life. We Juli Group are very trustworthy. ”

What Song Zhi meant by these words, is it possible to treat Zhou Qing with the top scientific and technological level of Juli Group? He wanted to use Zhou Qing's life as a bargaining chip?

Zhou Yu is a very determined person. He has always been clear about what he has lost, what he can gain by hard work, what must be done, and what he must protect even if there is no result.

A few hours passed, Zhou Yu kept sitting on the edge of the hospital bed motionless, and the surrounding medical staff also came to check several times, but they couldn't disturb Zhou Yu's thinking.

When Zhou Yu came back to his senses, it was already dark outside the ward, and even the corridor was very quiet, and it was already midnight. Zhou Qing on the hospital bed didn't know when he woke up. He looked at Zhou Yu with a calm gaze, not knowing how long he had been watching.

"Zhou Qing, are you awake......"

was looked at by Zhou Qing with that kind of penetrating animal gaze, and for a while he didn't know what to say.

"I didn't expect you to come." Zhou Qing spoke slowly.

His voice was hoarse. There was no trace of blood on his pale face, and the whole person had lost a lot of weight.

"I'm your brother." Zhou Yu said.

I don't know when it started, the contact between him and Zhou Qing became less and less. Is it because Zhou Qing is obsessed with research and he is busy with various tasks, or because they are in different cities? Or maybe it's just that they don't intersect with each other as much as they do.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my condition. I just think...... Sue sù you can't change anything. And...... You often go on dangerous missions and I'll distract you. ”

Zhou Qing lowered his eyes.

"Your surgery was successful, but after all, the place where the surgery was performed was your brain, which is so complex and delicate that even a little nerve can affect your mobility or other aspects."

"I know." Zhou Qing smiled, "Since I realized it now, there is nothing uncomfortable for the time being. While you were in a daze, I reviewed the research I was doing and found that my ability to think and remember should have no effect. I tried to move my fingers and toes, and it felt good. After all, it was Daniel Benn, the world's number one surgeon in brain surgery, who performed the surgery. ”

Zhou Yu's eyebrows frowned.

Daniel Benn, the world's No. 1 brain surgeon, this is definitely not something that Zhou Qing can invite.

"It's Juli Group." Zhou Qing directly answered Zhou Yu's question.

"What about the conditions?"

"On the condition that I participate in one of their research projects called the 'Ring of the Nibelungen', in another world." Zhou Qing carefully observed Zhou Yu's expression, and Zhou Yu's calmness seemed to be expected, "You didn't ask me what Juli Group does, nor what the 'Nibelungen Ring' is, and you weren't surprised even when I said that there was another world, so you already know?" ”

"You haven't seen a creature from that world. You're going to die, Zhou Qing. ”

After a long time, Zhou Yu spoke.
