In the same month, 2117 4, the north of country C, the city of TJ

Zhang Weining has been resting at home for the past two days, and he was beaten by a patient: just two days ago, a patient, in his 20s, registered a number in the hospital, which happened to be Zhang Weining's expert number. The patient said that he wanted Zhang Weining to prescribe some medicine, better antibiotics, Zhang Weining saw that this young man would prescribe antibiotics for a little cold, so he suggested that he be prescribed Chinese patent medicine, "If you eat too many antibiotics, it will not be good for your immunity in the future." Zhang Weining remembered that he said this to this young man at the time.

What Zhang Weining didn't expect was that before he finished speaking, the other party opened his mouth and scolded: "Lao Tzu hangs your expert number, thinking that he wants to get some better antibiotics, and get better as soon as he gets sick after eating, otherwise what am I doing with your expert number?" I'm afraid that Lao Tzu can't afford to give money, or what, Lao Tzu has money......"

Zhang Weining saw that your 20-year-old young man was so rude, so he called the security guard at that time. Before the security guards rushed over, Zhang Weining was punched several times by the patient. Zhang Weining was dizzy when he was beaten, but he still insisted on sitting in the clinic that day and did not ask for leave to rest until the next day.

Zhang Weining sat at home, the bruise on his forehead had not subsided.

At this time, he was holding a magazine in his hand, "The Heart of the Doctor". A paper in the magazine caught Zhang Weining's attention:

“…… Microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, and protozoa evolve much faster than humans...... The smog blocks ultraviolet rays, and bacteria, which should have been killed by ultraviolet rays in summer, can survive and multiply...... The current harsh environment is like heaven for them...... Antibiotics are being developed twice as fast as they were 20 years ago, but the number of drug-resistant bacteria has also tripled...... Skin allergies cannot be simply judged as general allergens......"

(Yes, that's why I didn't prescribe antibiotics to that guy.) Zhang Weining thought, but Zhang Weining didn't expect that the young man was a mutant, and his reason for adding fists and kicks to Zhang Weining was very simple - the Chinese patent medicine that Zhang Weining suggested he took, the name of the medicine, he had not seen it, and he suspected that the doctor was experimenting with him, so he took action.

After being beaten, Zhang Weining did not hold a grudge against the young man, in his opinion, this was not a personal grudge.

Zhang Weining's mind wandered, and after a while, he remembered another patient: this person's head skin had a bacterium growing on it, so that his hair was like dead grass, but his skin was protective against certain allergens in the air, like armor. If we must use "symbiosis" to describe the relationship between microorganisms and human beings, this can be called a symbiotic relationship, which is a new symbiotic relationship in the external environment.

(It's like some microbes have taken refuge in humans, and at the same time, they're parasitic to humans.) Zhang Weining thought, he put away his memories and continued to read the magazine:

"The microbial environment is already undergoing a qualitative change, and many foreign tourists who travel to country C have to be vaccinated in advance at customs...... It is hard to imagine that the natural environment of country C and many third-level world countries seems to have become completely different from the rest of the planet...... Over the past 20 years, mutant human and commensal microbes have become the main source of extraction of novel antibiotics, human blood proteins, and serum...... Many scholars also protest against this inhumane and uncivilized production method, but human blood protein and serum drugs are becoming more and more popular......"

Reading this, Zhang Weining couldn't help but feel that the reality was a little chilling, as far as he knew, there were many mutants in TJ City, who relied on selling their blood and tissue samples for a living, not so much that they were compatriots and human beings, but that they were more like an experimental field, and the value of their existence was to be experimented by others, sowed, cultivated, and harvested...... If it weren't for the fact that social thought has already been highly open and diversified, how could such a thing be tolerated!!

Just as Zhang Weining was deep in thought, a phone call suddenly came in. (Who is it?) Being disturbed, making him feel unpleasant and irritable, his brow furrowed. Still, he picked up the call.

"Hello Dr. Zhang, sorry to bother you." Said on the other end of the phone.

"Hello, what's the matter?" Zhang Weining had already heard that it was Ms. Yang Yiyi's voice. (It's her husband, yes, I remember, he also has some symbiotic microbes in his blood that no one else has, sent over last week, and the DNA analysis was just done in the morning.) ）

In fact, Zhang Weining didn't realize that subconsciously, the real motive for him and Yang Yiyi to continue the conversation was because the other party was a dignified lady.

"I'd like to ask if you've spoken to my husband lately." Yang Yiyi's voice was full of anxiety.

"We haven't spoken lately, well, it sounds, is there something going on on your side?" Zhang Weining asked.

On the phone, Zhang Weining asked about the incident and assured that he strictly abided by professional ethics. He knows that in today's world, gene companies have repeatedly banned the resale of evolutionary genes around the world, and even in some countries, there is no relevant legislation at all.

"I suggest you call the police," Zhang Weining finally said, "Over the years, private detectives have often been involved in illegal things, and I think the corruption authorities are more rigorous." ”

Since the next day, Zhang Weining still needed to attend a gathering of scientific people organized by the Xchang Chamber of Commerce and Chen Guangbiao, so he did not talk to Yang Yiyi more. Soon after putting down the phone, Zhang Weining went to the balcony again, ready to tinker with his two potted plants.

Zhang Weining came to the balcony - the balcony, due to the haze, the sunlight on the balcony is not sufficient, Zhang Weining often can't help but wonder, whether the name of the balcony should be changed to "fog platform". On Zhang Weining's balcony, there is a yellow lamp, which is the lamp he specially bought, and this lamp is also turned on in broad daylight, but not for lighting, but to supplement sunlight for potted plants.

"Yo, what's going on?" When Zhang Weining was fiddling with the leaves of the potted plant, he found that some small particles had grown on the leaves. Zhang Weining put on gloves, found a magnifying glass and a camera, looked through it carefully, he took a picture of the foreign object on the leaf, and uploaded the picture to the "Six Degrees of Recognition" website, wanting to see if it was an insect egg.

After a period of data review, and at the same time, combined with his own experience as a doctor, Zhang Weining confirmed that the small particles growing on the leaves of potted plants are a kind of plant tumors. Zhang Weining is a person who does what he says, and he immediately asked the graduate students he brought to his home, took the experimental equipment, and came to his home to do specimens, slices, and staining on the spot...... The cells from the tumor are then placed under a microscope for observation.

Zhang Weining and the graduate student walked around the room for half an hour, and in the end, both of them felt that a new plant virus had indeed been discovered.

"Teacher, I think, you can go and apply and name this virus after you." The graduate student was overjoyed and said that this was a great opportunity to leave a name in history, which was definitely an unexpected surprise.

However, there was no trace of joy on Zhang Weining's face: on such an ordinary afternoon, a new virus was inadvertently discovered...... At this time, Zhang Weining even had an illusion, that is, in this room, those dark corners, are there more "surprises" waiting for him.
