Chapter 124: Immortality
"You can't be unaware. It's just that you don't want to say it, am I wrong? He straightened up, casting a huge shadow over the doctor, "If you still want to keep your current position, I think you'd better cooperate with us, you're a smart man, you shouldn't need me to talk any more." ”
Ancher's face changed for a while, and after a long time, he said: "Rhine, they went to Basel to capture a man. ”
"Be specific."
"His name is Lin Ci, and specific information about him can be found in the archives." Dr. Archer then spoke out a set of file codes.
Nick copied the slip of paper and called for someone to find it. A moment later a file bag came into his hand, and he opened it, and it contained various materials.
This can be seen from the whole bag of materials, and it can also be seen from the fact that Rhine did not hesitate to carry out an authorized operation behind the back of the Alliance. Even, he lost his life for this experiment.
The general sat back in his seat and said to Ancher, "Can you briefly explain, doctor, what is so special about this experiment that deserves your attention?" ”
"Immortal." Archer looked up.
"What?"
The doctor repeated it, but in exchange for Adolf's laughter, the general laughed and slapped the table: "Immortal? So is this sample Mr. Superman, who is from Krypton? I guess he must have laser eyes. ”
But Archer didn't smile at all.
The general paused and said in surprise, "Is there really such a thing as an immortal body?" ”
"This sample, which was captured before the first impact. Before the capture, he suffered irreversible trauma to his spine and cervical spine. To put it simply, it's all broken. If it was an ordinary person, it should be dead, shouldn't it? But you see, Director Rhine went to Basel for him, and I don't think there's any better proof of it. ”
Nick shook his head and said, "But how can there be such a, even those monsters, there is no such thing as an immortal." ”
"That's right, yes, that sample has such an ability." "The reason why living things die is because the cells are no longer reborn, so death comes. But he, and so far I have found out how he did it. Theoretically, as long as cells can be reborn continuously, they can not die. In nature, there is a similar type of creature. Lighthouse jellyfish, they are near-immortal beings. ”
"But one thing is different, even if it is this kind of eternal life, if you suffer great trauma, you will die. In order to achieve the immortality of the sample, it is obvious that it is not enough to rely on the infinite regeneration of cells, but also the ability to heal at a high speed. We all know that living beings have a certain degree of healing ability, and this sample, his healing speed is a hundred, a thousand times faster than that of ordinary creatures! ”
"Then you can understand it, General." Ancher's voice trembled a little and said, "A life with a thousand times the healing power of ordinary creatures, plus infinite cell rebirth, is equivalent to having an immortal and eternal life!" ”
Nick's breathing intensified, and after a moment he shook his head and said, "That's just your theory." ”
"That's right, that's why we need to capture him again for research. Chances are, the secret in him is a gift for no reason. But it is also possible that it can be cracked by us, and once it is realized, it may be applied to other people. So imagine that when human beings have immortal and eternal life, will we still be afraid of xenomorphs? No, we will create a civilization that is ten thousand times more brilliant than it is now! ”
The general narrowed his eyes and said, "It's a pity that Rhine's operation failed. ”
Ancher's face darkened suddenly: "That's right, it's a pity. ”
"Doctor, if you were given this experiment, would you be able to find the secret of immortality?"
Archer looked up and said, "I'm not sure, but I'll do my best." ”
"Okay, I see. You can go back and rest now, and as I promised, now that you have chosen to work with us, you can keep everything you have now. Congratulations, Doctor, you made the right choice. ”
Nick made a phone call after asking the previous captain to send the doctor away. Moments later, someone on the other end of the line answered, and asked, "Did you figure it out?" ”
"Clear, Mr. President." Nick reported: "Rhine they went for a sample that Anchel believes holds the secret of immortality and immortality. I think we should find him. ”
"Is this necessary?" The president on the other end of the phone asked, "Moreover, Rhine has failed." This shows how dangerous that test subject is, and now, General, we are barely able to defend New Green Harbor. ”
"I know, Mr. President. But that experiment was definitely worth it, even if it cost a lot of people. ”
"Well, I admit that immortality is indeed very powerful. But how can you guarantee that Archer can be inspired by that sample? ”
"Let's put it this way, sir. If Archer can't do it, we can let someone else do it. Even if we can't get the secret of eternal life directly from this experiment, we can trade him for him, and I'm sure there are people who are willing to give enough in exchange for him. ”
"When the time comes, we will not only be able to make up for what we have lost, but we will also be able to gain more!"
There was silence on the other side of the phone, and after a while, he said: "You can do this matter, and the specific needs of the army to tell the headquarters directly." But I will not admit this operation, and if it fails. General Adolf, I'm afraid you'll have to be interrogated. Even so, if you're willing to do it, go for it. ”
"Thank you for your support!"
Putting down the phone, Nick laughed and called his secretary, "Tell Duka that I want him to analyze the whereabouts of the sample target immediately, and I will know the answer tomorrow morning." At the same time, Sergeant Laura told her to assemble the members of the Black Sword by six o'clock tomorrow. Finally, inform General Jotun on my behalf that I will meet him at once. ”
Seven o'clock in the morning.
Lin Ci was awakened by the sun, he habitually sat up, and his head hit the iron frame above. Then I remembered that I was in the cabin of a ship, where the space was so narrow that it was easy to bump into it. He got out of bed, and Kate in the lower bunk was still snoring. Lin Ci woke him up, and after freshening up himself, he came to the restaurant.
In the restaurant, Nan Liyue shrank in a corner, turning her head to look out the window. Twilight and Momiji emerge from the kitchen, carrying milk and bread in their hands, and this will be their breakfast. Soon people walked in one after another, and after last night's incident, the faces of the people in the restaurant were not very good. Especially Chen Hu, his face was elongated and full of haze.
In addition to Twilight and Kate, there are a total of 12 people who came to Basel with Chen Hu. Yesterday, three people were killed in Rhine's attack, and then four more were killed for Yu Lingwei, and now there are only five people left. Half of the people died in just one day, so it's no wonder that Chen Hu's face was ugly.
Everyone ate their breakfast in silence, and no one spoke, until Kate came in and said heartlessly, "Good morning, brothers." I woke up to the sun just now, and suddenly I felt that it was good to be alive, after all, dead people can't get sun. ”
Lin Ci couldn't help but pat his forehead, Twilight rolled her eyes at him, only Momiji whispered to him, "Don't say that." ”
"What's wrong?" Kate looked at Chen Hu and the others, spread her hands and said, "Don't be so downcast, brothers." They are dead, and no matter how sad you are, they will not survive. So we should be happy, I bet, they don't want to see you sad like that. Come on, laugh at it. ”
Chen Hu threw down the bread, stood up and said, "I've eaten it." ”
Then he left the restaurant.
Then they all left the restaurant, and Kateson gave him an innocent look, sat down and poured himself a glass of milk: "What did I do wrong?" ”
"It's not wrong, it's just that not everyone can be as open-minded as you." Lin Ci shook his head.
Kate tore off a piece of bread and threw it in her mouth: "Is this a compliment to me?" ”
"Whatever you want." Lin Ci smiled and buried his head in eating his own things.
Twilight Xue sat down next to Lin Xi and said, "Stay there Chen Hu plans to hold a farewell ceremony for the deceased, will you go?" ”
"Go ahead, it's kind of a boat. And ......" Lin Ci smiled bitterly: "Strictly speaking, they lost their lives because of me." ”
"I don't agree with you." Kate shook her head and said, "People are killed by killers, and they have a half-dime relationship with you?" ”
"That being said, there's no denying that if it weren't for me, they wouldn't have lost their lives last night."
"You don't have to feel indebted to them. In fact, you killed the killer bee last night, which is equivalent to saving everyone else, and we have to thank you for that. ”
Twilight laughed, "If only everyone thought like you, I'm afraid that some people only see what they want to see and ignore other things." ”
Lin Ci stuffed the bread in two mouthfuls and said, "No matter, anyway, I did what I thought was right." As for what other people think, that's not something I can control. ”
"Yes, that's it." Katerson pointed at him and said, "We can only do our best, and as for what other people think, that's their business." ”
At eight o'clock, the sun was shining.
Four corpses lay flat on the deck, all covered with white cloths. Chen Hu and the others stood beside the corpses, Chen Hu looked at these corpses and said: "They are all people I know, Lao Xu He is bent on going back to meet his wife and children, Zhou Guang is thinking about his son who is in elementary school, Liu Da regrets that he quarreled with his parents before coming to the metropolis, before yesterday, they were still alive, but now, they can never go back." ”
Chen Hu turned his head, separated the people next to him, walked to the front of Lin Ci, looked into Lin Ci's eyes and said, "And all this is due to one person." If that person hadn't come to this boat, the nightmare wouldn't have happened. So now, I wonder what this person wants to say to the deceased? ”
Twilight Xue said in a deep voice: "Chen Hu, it's too much for you to say that!" ”
"Excessive?" Chen Hu's eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't look like he had slept last night, he sneered at Twilight Xue and said, "Where did I go too far?" Isn't that the truth what I'm talking about? If you hadn't provoked these guys, would those people have died? ”
"You're right, the killer bees are chasing me. But I'm not God, I don't have the ability to see the future, and I can't do anything about what happened last night. ”
Chen Hu walked over, suddenly lifted one of the corpses, and shouted: "Nothing can be done? If it weren't for you, how could we have been hunted down! Between the words, there was a coldness.
Lin Ci frowned slightly, his expression was unusually complicated, and after a while, he suppressed his emotions and said, "Then what do you want?" ”
"I ask you to get off the ship at once!" Chen Hu finally said what he really thought.
Lin Ci smiled, he couldn't be clearer about this: "Then whatever you want." ”
Twilight reached out and patted Kate on the chest, then said to Lin Ci, "If you want to go, then let's go together." ”
Lin Ci nodded.
At noon, the boat stopped and leaned against the riverbank.
Lin Ci and the others got off the boat and landed on the shore, Chen Hu stood on the deck, pointed in one direction and said, "You can go to Luxembourg there, and if you are lucky, you can find a shelter." ”
"Lin Ci, I hope you understand. It's too dangerous to keep you on board, and I don't know what kind of danger you're going to incur, so ......"
Lin Ci nodded slightly, but he didn't answer.
"I wish you all the best."
Seeing the steamer set off again, Lin Ci turned around and said, "It looks like we're going to walk a long way." ”
Several people laughed, and even Han Mengdie had a little smile on her face.
In the evening, a gray line of smoke hung between the red glow of the sky, and below the pillar of smoke was a clearing in the woods. A fire rose in the clearing, roasting a few hares.
The hare has been skinned and washed, and all its entrails have been carefully disemboweled, and the whole hare is left open and roasted over the fire. The golden rabbit meat dripped oil into the fire, and the fire sizzled, and from time to time a few wisps of green smoke flew up.
Lin Ci sat on the fire, turning the rabbit meat from time to time,
And Kate, who went to the woods to be vigilant, walked into the depths of the woods, suddenly noticed something, and was about to turn back, when someone suddenly whispered behind him: "Don't move." ”
It was a woman's voice.
A moment later, Lin Xi saw Kate come out of the woods.
Behind him, a woman in a field vest was holding a rifle in her hand and pointing at Kate.
Kate looked embarrassed and said, "Hey, guys, we've got company." ”
The woman behind him suddenly said in a deep voice, "Who are you?" Extinguish the fire, you're going to bring the monsters!" ”
Lin Xi raised his foot and swept out a piece of sand to cover the fire, and then said to Kate, "Who are you?" ”
Kate said lightly: "It's rare to meet an interesting girl." ”
As he spoke, the person suddenly disappeared, and the girl behind her was obviously startled, and her small mouth opened slightly. Then the gun in her hand was gone.
Kate appeared three meters to her left, and the girl's gun not only fell into his hand, but he also broke the gun into parts and threw it on the ground, then clapped his hands and said, "You can't point it at me this time." ”
"What have you done!" The girl screamed.
