Dr. Wang thought for a moment and replied in a thoughtful tone, "I'll give you an inappropriate example, Xiao Yan, you should know about AIDS, right?" ”

"Of course." Yan Xiuze nodded.

"The first case of AIDS in the world was in 1980, and it was an incurable terminal illness like the one you have today."

After a pause, Dr. Wang continued, "Although AIDS emerged in 1980, it was only in 1996 that a cocktail therapy was invented to control the disease...... That's a 16-year difference. ”

"Although the level of medical care today is much more advanced than it was a few decades ago, strictly speaking, the truth is actually the same - an effective treatment for a disease cannot be invented by advanced technology alone, but through the medical practice of countless cases, the cost of countless patients dying on the operating table, corpses and contributing to the dissection room...... to be realized. ”

"So, I want to develop an effective treatment for 'Howell syndrome' within a year...... Unless you're lucky, it's a dream. ”

After listening to Dr. Wang's explanation, Yan Xiuze's heart also sank to the bottom, he lowered his head and thought for a while, but finally did not continue to bother Dr. Wang, got up to say goodbye, and when he left, his face was full of helplessness.

……

"Hello? Is it Mr. R? ”

"It's me, have you thought about it?"

"Come pick me up."

"Wait for me for twenty minutes."

Putting down the phone, Yan Xiuze exhaled lightly, although the fate of this fate is uncertain, but at the moment, the longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for the treatment of his illness, in this case, it is better to bet on the government, maybe there is a glimmer of life.

Sure enough, after about twenty minutes, an inconspicuous black car stopped downstairs in the dormitory of Yan Xiuze's school, and Yan Xiuze, who was waiting for the open-air badminton court downstairs, saw Mr. R sitting in the driver's seat at a glance. He took a breath and got up and walked to the black car.

And Mr. R in the driver's seat had obviously discovered Yan Xiuze, he just nodded at Yan and did not get out of the car, but sat firmly in the car and waited for the terminally ill student.

Yan Xiuze got into the car, and then the black car quickly drove away from the school, and after a long detour along the intricate highway of Tiandu, the black car finally stopped in an underground parking lot that looked quite remote.

"It's time to get out of the car." Mr. R got out of the car, took off his sunglasses, and said.

After following Mr. R out of the car, Yan Xiuze's first reaction was strange: "Aren't you receiving treatment?" What are you doing in the parking lot? ”

Especially since the underground parking lot was empty, there was not a single car except the black sedan they had just ridden, and there was nothing here except the dim lighting.

"Just follow me and explain to you on the way." Mr. R took out a pocket-sized flashlight from the briefcase he was carrying, signaling Yan Xiuze not to get lost.

The two of them came to a locked iron door, and Mr. R skillfully took out a bunch of keys, unlocked the iron door, and opened the iron door.

Inside the iron door was a cramped room, looking like a storage room, with old cardboard boxes and metal shelves stacked inside, and dust had accumulated in many places.

But Mr. R, who was clearly a regular visitor here, walked up to the pile of cardboard boxes, pulled it, and immediately revealed another iron door behind the cardboard boxes.

"How can it be like a secret agent, mysterious and secret......" Yan Xiuze stood behind Mr. R, looking at all this, the uneasiness in his heart became stronger and stronger.

Mr. R ignored Yan Xiuze's whispering, he quickly opened the hidden iron door and walked straight in: "Keep up." ”

"Wow......"

When Yan Xiuze entered the iron gate, he was immediately shocked by the scenery in front of him!

"Here it is...... Here it is......"

"Welcome to Tiandu Metro Line 1." Mr. R turned on the pocket flashlight that he had been holding in his hand, and teased in a rare and relaxed tone.

Where they entered, there happened to be a straight subway track on the ground.

The long corridor stretches the visual distance on both sides infinitely, but because the wall lamps inlaid overhead are really dim, the two sides are dim, like two deep black holes.

"We ...... Now in the subway tunnel? Yan Xiuze muttered.

"That's right." Mr. R replied almost reflexively, but after thinking about it, he added, "To be precise, it should be the abandoned line of the subway." ”

"Abandoned lines?"

"Hmm...... It was probably the late fifties of the last century. After the deterioration of diplomatic relations between China and the Soviet Union at that time, we began to plan to build war-ready subways in the three cities of Tiandu, Mukden, and Shanghu as a means of strategic defense. ”

I don't know if it's Yan Xiuze's delusion, since entering the underground parking lot, this Mr. R has changed his previous cold style, and he has suddenly become more talkative, and there is a tendency to chatter: "But after the end of the Cold War, the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the beginning of the world to focus on peace, the possibility of war suddenly dropped to the minimum...... Naturally, the previously built war-ready subway line will not be used. ”

"As a result, most of these war-ready subways were abandoned, and some of them were transformed and expanded into secret military bases by the state."

Although Mr. R has been chattering about the abandoned routes here, his footsteps have not stopped at all, he took Yan Xiuze around and around, around countless forks in the road, through countless secret doors, and finally turned to a metal cast safety door.

"It's the place." Mr. R stepped forward, pressed his finger to a touchpad next to the safety door, and then focused his eyes on the scanner in front of the safety door.

Follow him into the insurance door, what meets Yan Xiuze's eyes is a metal hall full of science and technology, is there a staff wearing white masks and white coats passing by quickly without touching the ground, Yan Xiuze can receive, the first impression about this place is probably "bright and hurried".

Mr. R ignored the hurried staff, but took Yan Xiuze to a separate bedroom and settled him down: "It's already night, now let's rest here for a night, and I'll inform you to see the attending physician tomorrow." ”

"Wait!" Yan Xiuze stopped him: "Can you only stay in this place?" ”

"Yes, there is a computer in the bedroom, but it uses the intranet of our base, and cannot be used to contact the outside world...... It's really boring, you can play the single-player games inside. ”

After saying that, he snapped and closed the bedroom door.
