Chapter 58 The Position of the Heart
Shoot the last anesthetic needle in this gun, and the anesthetic finally works on the orc, otherwise Ning Fei is really helpless.
After the fall, the orc changed under Ning Fei's nose, the majestic muscles and thick skeleton shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye, the fluff and fangs on the face faded, and finally turned into a skinny normal human.
Ning Fei watched all this in disbelief, the strange events he had seen on this day were richer than those he had seen in the past twenty years.
The man on the ground fell into a coma, and Ning Fei turned him over, a familiar face.
"Add?!"
Bloom Eddy, Professor Murray's assistant, whom they met not long ago in Rio de Janeiro.
How could he be locked up in this place?
Turned into a terrifying orc.
If he hadn't experienced what had just happened, Ning Fei would definitely not hesitate to take Eddie out when he saw him trapped in this place.
But after experiencing the dangerous situation just now, he can be sure that Eddie, who is in a beastly state, only has an IQ equivalent to that of a human child, and has a tyrannical personality, and he doesn't know himself anymore, but he has invincible muscle strength.
Once he is allowed to run outside, his power is uncontrollable, and I am afraid it will cause big trouble.
First the mutant who stayed in the glass room, then the purple-haired girl who couldn't speak with the correction device, and finally the Eddie who turned into an orc, why does this special patient care area of Sino exist for the research of new drugs?
Ning Fei had too many questions, but he decided to leave this place first, because the only people who could explain it all were Elizabeth, the owner of Sino Company, and Gibbs, the chief scientist.
Ning Fei decided to go to Gibbs.
But the movement from the fight just now still alarmed the other guards, and when Ning Fei exited the iron gate here for Add, he sensed that someone was coming.
......
Meanwhile, Gibbs remained in his lab, testing Ning Fei's blood samples again and again, looking at the results again and again.
The face is getting uglier and uglier every time.
Elizabeth was still here, frowning and depressed.
"Is it still the same result?" , Elizabeth asked.
Gibbs nodded weakly, leaned back in his chair wearily, and said, "Well, it's still the same." ”
"Could it be a problem with the blood sample or the instrument? The new drug is already working? You see, Dr. Gibbs! Elizabeth asked unrelentingly.
"That's just on the macroscopic performance of the human body, he recovered the trauma of the nervous system, but on the microscopic level, what I saw was that those mutated cells that were not cleared by the virus drug became stronger, they split wildly, and in a short period of time they swept in with a stronger attitude, I have seen it dozens of times, and there will be no mistake, this is the truth."
"But our experimenter was able to walk again after all, and he was even more agile than a normal person, which ......"
"Listen to me", Gibbs interrupted Elizabeth with difficulty, he was so tired that he almost beat his spirits, and continued: "Listen to me first, Elizabeth, he is just a special case, he is more agile than ordinary people, more likely from the good aspects of this genetic mutation, but this cannot be accurately controlled with drugs, so it cannot be reproduced in other patients." Because the process of mutation has not been completely reversed, the logic of new drugs for the treatment of cancer is no longer valid. The future may open up a new great direction, but it will take too long. ”
Elizabeth didn't listen to Gibbs's explanation, but said more excitedly: "This is the last chance, if the new drug research plan fails, investors in the secondary market will burst the market value bubble of Sino in one trading day, Wall Street analysts will fall into the ground, financing will be aborted, creditors will immediately come to the door, Sino only faces bankruptcy, and all our efforts and careers will be ruined." ”
"We've failed......," Gibbs said, covering his mouth with his hand and coughing lightly, spreading his palm to see that he was coughing up blood.
Gibbs clasped his hands together.
"Gibbs, are you okay? Your body ......", Elizabeth noticed Gibbs's strange appearance, he looked very bad, in fact she knew that Gibbs's condition had been deteriorating.
"I don't have time, my body has reached its limit, I used to be an atheist, when I learned about my illness, I didn't think about giving up, I used all my knowledge, all my creativity, to try to cure myself, but I still failed, I couldn't save my life, now that I think about it, it should be fate."
"I'm sorry...... You should have lived ......longer," Elizabeth apologized, adding that Gibbs had been appointed chief scientist at Sino in part because of her persuasion, which consumed too much of his energy and accelerated the deterioration of his cancer.
"I'm not afraid of death, I just feel a little bit regretful. But you're still young, Elizabeth, and being young means having a lot of time, and you have the capital to face failure and start over. ”
Elizabeth shook her head and said, "Do it all over again?" It's just easy to say, but it's too hard to do. ”
"Do you have any plans?" Gibbs asked weakly.
Elizabeth was silent for a long time, and then a look of determination flashed in her eyes: "I will stop things from going in a worse direction...... I'll clean up all traces and do whatever it takes. ”
When Gibbs heard this, he seemed to guess what she was going to do, and he knew Elizabeth's style and methods, and Elizabeth had the courage and decisiveness that ordinary people did not have, which was the advantage she once relied on to win.
Elizabeth will end the research program after his death, remove all the unfavorable factors, and the new drugs will continue to be marketed, even if those drugs have no reliable efficacy, but as long as new funding can be obtained, it will be possible to solve the urgent need and renew the life of Sino in such a desperate way.
Get rid of all the bad things.
If the successful treatment of the new drug in Ning Fei by mistake is a false testimony of the most favorable factor for the new drug to be marketed, then the existence of other experimenters is undoubtedly a disadvantage!
If the outside world knew about the existence of those mutants, they would question why Sino's technology could not cure them.
Gibbs thought of this, and his heart gradually became terrified.
"The mutants?"
Elizabeth nodded expressionlessly.
Gibbs looked at her in disbelief and said, "No, you can't do it, they are all innocent and shouldn't be sacrificed, it will make you a devil, calm down......"
Elizabeth put her unusually fair fingers into her hair, from her forehead back, brushed her hair, her eyes were cold and low, but she revealed a faint madness, and said: "I am calm, I have never lost control, this is a difficult decision, if I can, I am not willing to do it, but I have no better choice, the existence of those mutants has completely become a huge threat to us, we can't save them, so I can't keep them." I know, it's not humane, but Gibbs, I think you can understand me, I'm sorry......"
"No ......"
Gibbs coughed violently, and the blood he coughed up violently stained his clothes, and his expression looked painful, even sitting in a chair was exhausting, and there was no way for him to stop Elizabeth from making any decisions.
Elizabeth helped him to lay the chair flat so that he could save a little effort, and it could be seen that Gibbs's current state was like a candle in the wind, which could be extinguished at any time, and Elizabeth couldn't help but grieve for this old partner who had worked together for many years.
"Is there anything else I can do for you?" , Elizabeth asked softly.
Gibbs looked into her eyes, his heart was full of pain, he gave up, at this moment, there was nothing he could do.
"I'm kind of ...... Miss my family, my daughter ......," Gibbs said angrily, pointing to a drawer with trembling fingers, and hanging limply.
Elizabeth walked over to the cabinet and pulled the drawer open, revealing a photograph of a little girl who looked six or seven points like Gibbs.
Elizabeth put the picture in Gibbs's hands.
Gibbs used his fingers to gently touch the little girl in the photo, with a longing look on his face......
Gibbs's eyes never closed again.
Elizabeth put the photo away and gently put it in the pocket of Gibbs's blouse, where it was still warm in her heart.
