Chapter 417: Preparing for Launch
At the Houston Space Center, at the launch site, a rocket slowly stands up, pointing high into the sky.
"Mike, when will I recover?"
"I'm not sure, you're traumatized to the head, recovery time"
"Food only for a week, you"
"Don't worry, I won't give up on you."
"Well," two lines of tears oozed from the corners of Western's eyes, "so we have seven more days to live?" ”
"No, we can eat less, and besides, I'll look for anything to replace the food, and even if we don't have food, we can last until two weeks as long as we have water."
"You're not going to treat me like food, are you?"
"Of course not, if you're really hungry, I have some medicine here, we can work together"
"Euthanasia?"
"Yes, we're doctors, and you know people die."
Western was silent for a moment: "Not necessarily"
"You mean becoming Superman?"
“”
"There's a weak sense of time here, but on the bright side, we have a lot of time to think. Thinking helps you recover, if you can recover sooner, the strength of the two of us will be greater, we can go to the first floor of the hospital, there is a restaurant and a convenience store, I dare not go alone, it has been occupied by zombies"
"It should be okay to attack the head with a fire axe, right?"
"But I'm only one person, and you, I can't risk it! If I get scratched by them, what if I have food? ”
"Oh yes, too"
"So, you said that Shaun, his skin is so hard that a needle can't get it in?"
"Yes, I can't get in, I tried to draw some blood samples, but it didn't work."
"In other words, he was already mutated at that time, right?"
"Yes, I moved him to a luxury ward at that time, and he was actually mutated before, I think it must have happened the night he was brought in! Lightning strikes should be a factor! ”
"I know Chinese kung fu, why did you think it was a mutation at the time, they had that hard qigong or something, it seems that they are still invulnerable"
"Ha, are you kidding? How could I not tell what it was, and Chinese kung fu definitely didn't blow that badly! ”
"It's the same"
"And he doesn't even have hair on his skin, he doesn't even have pores!"
"What?"
"Yes, that's what I mean, his skin doesn't sweat!"
"Dogs don't sweat from the skin well, you go on to say, then his tongue will be often"
"No, his ears are at least a hundred times more sensitive than dogs, and I think the sense of smell may be too"
"And he can survive in the hospital?"
"I don't know"
…
The high-speed centrifuge is spinning, the experimenters are busy, and Dr. Harman is staring at the data in front of a computer.
"Dr. Harman, there is no anomaly in the cultured tissue cells."
"Go ahead and see how many generations they can split."
In front of the laboratory table.
A white machine is connected to the power supply at both ends, and this device can adjust the voltage of ordinary household to 100,000 volts.
"The twentieth group of cell discharge experiments, begin!"
The operator pressed the switch and could see the liquid inside through the glass cover: "Stop! ”
Take out the box inside: "Go and re-cultivate!" ”
Several soldiers walked in, and one walked up to Dr. Harman: "Doctor, are things ready?" ”
"Wait a minute!" Harman didn't take his eyes away from the computer, but continued to look at the data.
After a while, he shook his head and turned to stand up: "I prepared ten, I can't do more." ”
"Good!" The soldier replied succinctly.
"Follow me." Harman doesn't have much nonsense either, ten tissue samples are to be put in satellites and urgently sent into space, which is a national task.
One is to see if it can form mutations in space, and the other is to protect these important samples. Once the situation on Earth is out of control one day, there are still some things that can be retrieved from space.
Technology now allows you to manipulate when satellites return to the ground.
Enter the password, swipe the card, take out ten small syringes from the incubator, and place them in the box.
Sign and take away.
Harman exhaled, and so far, the base seemed safe.
His doctor walked over.
"Western's mood is normal."
"From the information, they call this kind of leakage, that is, there is no leakage!"
"Hmm"
"The utilization of materials is very high!"
The soldiers, with the boxes, went from the elevator to the ground, turned to another elevator, and went up to the sixth floor and through the hallway.
At the launch site, the rocket was already erected.
"Send it over!"
…
In Las Vegas, in the general manager's office at Thomas Mark Center, Dahn stares at the live stream with a cigar.
Today's field has never been seen before.
The two collegiate teams played a shocking game, although it was less than half time, and the turnovers had already reached a terrible two hundred.
The players are almost like the walking dead, and the living ones are the spectators on the side, except for the ball.
The assistant on the side held the tablet: "The price increase has no effect, half of the tickets have been sold, and now there are still a large number of spectators." ”
"Raise the price by another 20 percent."
"Yes!"
Dahn smiled happily as he found his way to make a profit.
Not the only basketball league, but one of the best in the world, but there is no team in Las Vegas, and David Stern worries that the gambling industry will affect the game too much.
The old guy was a little stubborn, but he was right.
None of these players are fuel-efficient lamps, and Dahn feels that if there is a team here, it may not take half a year for the league's reputation to be lost in the sewers.
Las Vegas has only hosted one All-Star Game.
For a large arena, this is not enough. But now, Dahn has found that sometimes the level of the game is terrible to the extreme, and it is also a beauty!
"How long can they stay out of shape today?"
Of course, the assistant knew what Dahn meant: "I think after the game, they will probably all retire!" ”
"It's a shame,"
"Let's organize another kind of clown contest like this?"
