"Take me with you!" After Hao Jian finished speaking, his body quickly became smaller, and finally, only the peaked cap was left on the floor, "In a while, bring me to wash by the way!" ”

What do you mean to wash me? When Fang Xu heard this, his brain made up the picture of picking up soap, feeling even more terrifying than in the mirror just now, and threw the cap in the basin full of cold water, "Soak it yourself!" ”

Fang Xu quickly took a shower and was about to leave the toilet, when he saw the changed clothes, the picture of Mu Zhirong sitting on a small bench scrubbing clothes came to mind, "Zhirong, you are so good!" ”

Soaking his clothes in the bucket, Fang Xu lifted the leg of his trousers, and after stepping on his right foot in the bucket, "That's it!" ”

After drying his clothes, Fang Xu lit a cigarette and leaned against the wall to look at the starry sky outside the window. In another month, Orion will turn due south.

There is a starry sky in the winter night, and there is a different kind of quiet. At this time, Fang Xu felt that the three stars twinkling in the middle of Orion were like Mu Zhirong's beautiful eyes, "Zhirong, are we going to be separated this year?" A few wisps of misty smoke floated over like a light veil to obscure the stars, blocking them from responding to Fang Xu.

After being stunned for a while, Fang Xu returned to the dormitory and lay down for a while, and when the school radio sounded, he had already come to the front of the experimental building. Uncle Lou had already opened the door and sat on a chair listening to his radio.

He ignored the other party's greetings, obviously he felt deeply powerless for Fang Xu, a young man who did not change his teachings and climbed through the window, and he was very bored when he saw Fang Xu appear.

After Fang Xu fed Xiaobai breakfast, he spent two hours to complete today's task and got 10 spirit yuan.

Coupled with the spirit yuan collected from Hao Jian last night, Fang Xu already had 10.05 spirit yuan at this time, "Zhirong, I can look at you for another second." ”

The extra second in the video was not enough for Mu Zhirong's smile to fully unfold, and Fang Xu was stunned to watch it dozens of times over and over again on this fleeting content.

"That year, I waited in the darkness of the night for death to come. That night, your smile was like a light in the long night, dispelling the heavy night and shining light into my heart..."

Fang Xu muttered to himself, his hands carefully swiping back and forth in front of Mu Zhirong's image, "Zhirong, wait for me." ”

"Xiaobai, let's play with Ding Ding today." The experimental process of extracting DNA was complicated, and Fang Xu naturally couldn't bring Xiaobai.

After washing and drying Hao Jian's skin and Ding Ding's hair, Fang Xu took an appropriate amount and put each into a beaker containing EDTA solution, "It's been sealed in the wall for so many years and can still move, I don't know if this zombie meat has mutated?" ”

"Sure enough, I don't practice for a day!" Fang Xu looked at the DNA precipitate of the fibrous floc at the bottom of the beaker, "It's only this step, it took more than two hours!" I hope the subsequent electrophoresis can be a success! ”

Turning on the machine, Fang Xu began to devote himself to the experiment again.

In the cold winter months, the sun also seems to be afraid of the cold of Jincheng. Walking in the sky is almost a third faster than in summer. When the golden setting sun passed through the heavy glass window, dyeing Fang Xu's hair golden, he was so absorbed in looking at the gel electrophoresis belt that he didn't even notice it.

The results are out, but the ribbons on both sides don't match, isn't Ding Ding really Hao Jian's child? This was not the result Fang Xu wanted.

"It looks like we have to rely on sequencing!"

Fang Xu looked at the parent-child signing report, "As the saying goes, a white lie is beautiful, so no matter what, my result has already been determined, even if the mission fails!" Fang Xu took out his pen, turned to the last page of the report, and wrote down a line carefully.

When I put down the pen in my hand, I realized that it was not early. After lowering his head for a long time to observe, Fang Xu, who stopped at this time, not only felt a sore neck, but also made a mistake.

Came to the corner of the corridor, sat down lazily and lit a cigarette, took a puff, only to find that the cigarette filter was stuck to his lips, "I actually forgot to take a sip of water, could it be that after the last mission was completed, I only worked in the Yuren laboratory, and the investment state must be 100%?" ”

After taking a sip of cold water, the abdomen suddenly seemed to be hollowed out, and he panicked, "I didn't eat lunch, I want to become an immortal." ”

Pulling out the phone, Fang Xu asked Jiege to send him a dry chicken nugget to cover the rice, thinking that the cap was still hanging outside the windowsill of the toilet, and it was about to get dark, in order to prevent Hao Jian from running around, Fang Xu pulled out the phone again and asked Jiege to send the cap over.

"That hat is still a lump of ice at this time, and it can keep a chicken warm at night."

After Jiege hung up the phone, Fang Xu remembered that he had directly fished the cap out of the bucket and dried it last night, knowing that the soup poured after eating noodles at night could be frozen without melting, and he didn't know if Hao Jian had frozen.

When Fang Xu was about to smoke a second cigarette, he found that there was no stock in the cigarette box, and at this time, Jiege delivered the dinner in a hurry.

"I didn't eat lunch, I really don't know how you survived with this big stomach?" Jiege spread the food on the chair, "Take it easy, take care of men, I'm really not good at it." ”

Fang Xu gobbled up, the only thing he had free was his face, and he looked at Jiege with some smiles.

"Flying!"

Feitian is a type of cigarette in Jincheng.

In the darkest days of high school, Fang Xu and a few classmates hid in the toilet and learned to smoke. After coming to Jincheng, Fang Xu has been smoking the Chaotianmen of his hometown, and when the inventory is exhausted, he will ask his brothers in his hometown to send it to him. Because Fang Xu felt that this cigarette, while relieving the smoke and hiding it, could also temporarily withdraw the strong homesickness that he had buried in his heart.

Since he didn't smoke once, Jiege gave him a pack of Feitian fairies that Mu Zhirong saw on the package, saying that it was very similar to what she had in her dreams, and Fang Xu also smoked Feitian.

Jiege and the others ridiculed him for seeing something different, while Fang Xu shouted in front of Mu Zhirong that he loved the house and Wu, and this was so angry that Jiege and the others didn't smoke Fang Xu for a week.

"Save a little, and don't be discovered by Lao Yin!" Jiege threw the cigarette on Fang Xu's lap, and before Fang Xu's thank you could be spit out, he entered the elevator.

At this time, the street lights were already lit on the outer campus, and Fang Xu finished dinner, leaning against the window of the stairs and smoking a cigarette, thinking about the experiment.

"Fang Xu, why are you still here?"

Seeing that it was Professor Yin, Fang Xu hurriedly hid his right hand behind him, "Professor......"

"I heard that you came here early in the morning to do experiments," Professor Yin approached Fang Xu, "What's the matter, you're in trouble?" ”

Fang Xu thought that Professor Yin just said hello to him and left, who would have thought that he would still get close and care about his experiment.

Professor Yin does not smoke, and he does not see others smoking, and when he finds smokers, he often roars like thunder. Later, he told the story of his friend who died of lung cancer little by little, and finally always said the incomprehensible sentence - "If you take a few puffs, maybe that lung can work for a few years, and you won't have to be so troublesome." ”

Seeing Professor Yin approaching, Fang Xu endured the burning and extinguished the cigarette in his hand and hid it in his sleeve, "Yes, Professor." ”

Fang Xu told Professor Yin about the experiment! As he spoke, he brought Wenson Yin into the laboratory.

"Hair is a dead cell, and because of its special structure, it can maintain the stability of the structure for a long time after death, so the genetic material in it is the most intact. But the situation with skin tissue cells is completely different. Yin Wensen picked up Hao Jian's skin sample with tweezers, "From the surface alone, this skin has deteriorated. ”

Yin Wensen took a small sample and made a section, put it under a microscope, and observed it for a while, "The structure of the cell is no longer the same as that of a normal corpse, and there are too many contaminants in the cell, and it is normal to not get pure DNA." ”

"If you can find his hair, maybe there's hope for the results you want."

Hao Jian's body and No. 7242 have been transported away by the police, and during dinner in the evening, Fang Xu learned from Jiege that No. 7424 had been sent back to the school's cold room, and Hao Jian's body was still in the hands of a forensic doctor, and now it was a little difficult to get Hao Jian's hair.

"Ah Xu, come here..."

"What's wrong?"

Fang Xu walked over, and Yin Wensen gave him the microscope, "Do you take a closer look at whether those contaminants are mitochondria?" ”

Fang Xu took the microscope and turned up the multiple, "Yes, why are there so many?" ”

"Take a sample and count it with a counter."

Fang Xu made a good sample, put it under the meter, and after getting the data, he was surprised, "4247!" ”

"That's more than twice the size of mitochondria in liver cells, which is very abnormal." Yin Wensen looked at the cells in the microscope carefully again, "It seems, there are still signs of activity. Are you sure you got the sample from a dried cadaver? ”

"Yes!"

Yin Wensen was not ordinary at this time, "Where did you get it?" ”

"It was the dried corpse that was taken away by the police last night."

"Hey, it's a pity!" Yin Wensen sighed.

"Professor, what's wrong?"

"I suspect Hao Jian is still alive?"

A man who had been poured into a concrete wall for several years was still alive. If these words came out of someone else's mouth, Fang Xu would definitely think that the other party was talking nonsense.

But Vincent Yin is a biology professor who has published a paper in Nature, not one of those bricks who are just waving their flags for money. In Fang Xu's mind, Yin Wensen was a true scholar with extremely high prestige.

"This, how is this possible?"

"You know there's a fish, you know?"

"Barramundi?"

The African barramundi is a very vigorous fish, and even if it is built inside a dry wall, it will not be sunburned by the scorching African sun for four or five years.

Yin Wensen picked up the remaining skin like a treasure, "Yes, Hao Jian's body should have undergone some kind of mutation. Of course, when I say life, I only have cells in his body, so it is not really life. ”

Fang Xu wanted to tell Yin Wensen what he saw last night, but for some reason, the words came to his lips and swallowed back.

"If my hypothesis is true, then in a high-pressure confined and dry concrete, without nutrients, these cells can survive and either go into a 'hibernation state' or greatly prolong the cycle of division."

Fang Xu nodded, "Professor, I think they have the greatest chance of going into hibernation. ”

"Tell me what you think."

"Under normal circumstances, the limit of the human cell division cycle is about 2.4 years. Hao Jian's corpse has been in the wall for more than four years, and if the cells have not entered a state of hibernation, then at least one generation has been divided, and this division process is very energy-intensive. In addition, there are too many mitochondria in these cells, which means that the amount of activity between cell division is also very large. Where do the nutrients that provide these energy sources come from in a closed wall? ”
