Chapter 53 Gray hair overnight
The world will not forgive you
What kind of world, you won't forgive me!
If you do this kind of thing, the world will definitely want you to look good.
What kind of world, you want me to look good!
Sooner or later, the world will bury you
What kind of world, you are going to bury me!

Chu He and Bai Xiaoxiao, the relationship between the two that has been suppressed for many years suddenly broke out, obviously it should be like a volcanic eruption, crazy, and enthusiastic, but the nature of work has made both of them develop a calm and stable character, so for each other's demands, it seems a little jerky and a little depressed.
It's just that on the second day, Chu He still felt weak all over his body, and he couldn't get out of bed.
"Awake?" He looked at the other party's red eyes, a little bewitching, and made people feel like a child who didn't know anything about the world, and his hand couldn't help but caress her hair.
The woman stretched out her arms and stretched her body as hard as she could, not noticing that the sheet had slipped off, revealing a large expanse of snow white.
It wasn't until she noticed Chu Haizhi's stunned eyes that her mind suddenly cleared up, she pulled the sheet and turned her back, her face flushed to the point of being hot.
This pull pulled out the matter, the quilt was all wrapped by her, Chu He lay there naked, stunned for a few seconds, he wanted to drag it back, but the other party didn't have the slightest intention of letting go, and didn't even want to give him a corner.
Helpless, he had no choice but to drag his "overworked" body out of bed and put his clothes on his body one by one.
In the next two days, Chu He has been perfecting the booster, in fact, what he should be doing now is not this, but should extract data from the sample, because it is the first experiment, so this matter is particularly important.
But he kept avoiding, and even if his research had not progressed at all for the past two days, he didn't want to face it. asked him to study Xiaoxiao as an experimental sample, but Chu He thought he couldn't do it.
But on the third day, something went wrong.
Overnight, Xiaoxiao's hair turned white, and the breath of life became extremely weak, no matter how he pushed and shouted, she didn't react, she didn't have time to get dressed, Chu He rushed into the infirmary with her in her arms, and all the equipment in the experimental area was individually matched, so when Chu He put her down, he pressed a large row of buttons in a panic, and the whole person was still confused, except for learning the news of the woman's death, his heart was never so messy.
Chu He forced himself to calm down, and then connected the electrocardiogram for her, looking at the image of the display device beating smoothly, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. But things are far from that simple, Chu Hai tests her body.
He didn't know what caused Xiaoxiao's coma, but he knew that the current situation couldn't be solved by the doctor, and he probably couldn't solve it either.
There is no way for him to remedy the physical reaction triggered by the recombination of genetic sequences.
Chu He spent half a day, and all the data of the body probing were very normal, even if there were some abnormalities, they were within the acceptable range.
He kept watch in front of the hospital bed for a day, and the woman still had no trace of wanting to wake up, Xiaoxiao's appearance was like a sleeping beauty who had been under the witch's poison spell, and Chu He's kiss couldn't untie the poisonous curse.
During the day, he locked himself in the laboratory, and in the middle of the night, he did another physical test for Xiaoxiao, and the test was correct, and he quickly fell into a light sleep when he lay on the side of the bed, and it was like this for several days.
Another night, he just took off his protective clothing, and after passing the inspection and protection, he met Fang Hua outside the laboratory, the laboratory area is very large, and it is not only their group of researchers, but the research topics and directions are different.
Fang Hua is the same as him, the research direction belongs to the field of life sciences, but the focus of the two is different, the two have worked together several times, and they have a certain understanding of each other, which is a relationship that both admires and dislikes.
Fang Hua hated his arrogance, and he didn't like Fang Hua's worldliness.
"Looking for me?" Chu He looked at the cigarette butts on the ground, put his hands in the pockets of his coat, and frowned unconsciously.
"Where's Xiaoxiao?"
"She's sick, so if there's something to do, talk about it quickly." Chu He looked impatient, what he hated most was this kind of unnutritious conversation.
"I need a rare piece of DNA for my experiments, and I don't have it there." Fang Hua was a little shorter than him, with a flat head, and a loyal and honest look, looking at him seriously at the moment, as if he was coercing and pleading.
"Say, if it's convenient, I'll bring it out for you tomorrow." If it's relatively rare DNA, only he knows where it's stored.
"I need that dinosaur DNA you brought back from Xishan."
"What do you want that?" The DNA dinosaur egg fossil was accidentally extracted, and it was only a fragment, and not even a complete genetic strand was reproduced.
"I have completely extracted the progenitor virus, and after preliminary experiments, I have tried to fuse the genetic information of several animals, and the effect is obvious."
"Animal?" Chu He thought he had heard it wrong, and he was a little unsure.
"Well, don't you think that human beings have become weaker and weaker in the long river of evolution? Except, of course, here. Fang Hua nodded his brain with his index finger.
It is true that human beings are unique and blessed by God in the process of evolution, our bodies are becoming more and more perfect, and our fingers are becoming more and more flexible in order to adapt to more delicate work, but most importantly, we have evolved a near-perfect brain, the development and mystery of the brain, and even now, human beings have not even touched the skin.
But on the other hand, in the process of adapting to the natural and social environment, our body is degraded, from four limbs to two limbs walking, the way has become simpler, but the speed has been lost, the height of the body has changed, the constraints of the earth's gravity have been strengthened, and the bouncing power of human beings is ranked last among all animals.
Not to mention the eruption, bite force, and smell, hearing, and sight, many animals can throw us off, and with the help of wisdom, our ancestors have become more and more accessible to food, and the challenge of survival has become less and less, and so on, those abilities that exist to hunt for food have degraded from chicken ribs to disappearing.
Before the mutation, we could have left it unattended, but the environment has changed, and for most people, physical fitness is far more important than intelligence.
"So do you know what you're doing? Do you know who these things end up with? Chu He's tone became heavier, and there was a vague anger.
Fang Hua was stunned for a moment, and then lit another cigarette.
"You are too limited, Chu He, for human beings, this era is a crisis, but also an opportunity for change, since you want to change, the natural start can't be too low." He looked like he didn't care, and he didn't care about Chu He's reminder at all.
If the enhancer is successfully developed, everyone will rush to it, and power is a biological instinctive desire. But according to Fang Hua's idea, the genes of animals are fused into the virus, not to mention whether it can be successful, what will become of people when they are fused? While acquiring certain animal characteristics, do they retain the animal's habits?
Most importantly, human beings are meant to reproduce, and what will become of their next generation?
That result was not what he wanted, what Chu He did was to retain his nature as a human being while strengthening human beings themselves. But it all depends on whether it can be successfully developed, the survival after the injection and the chance of perfect fusion.
"There's no way I'm going to give it to you." Chu He turned around and disappeared into the corridor, his figure being pulled by the lights of the corridor.
Fang Hua took half a step back, leaned his back against the wall, threw the cigarette butt to the ground, extinguished it with his toes, raised his head and slowly exhaled the white mist, stared at the light for a long time, put his hands in his pockets, and left quietly.
Chu He returned to the ward and took some time to move Xiaoxiao and the medical equipment back to the room. He brushed away the hair on the woman's forehead, looked at her ruddy face, and didn't know when he would wake up, obviously his heart rate, brain waves, and even internal organs were the same as ordinary people, but there was no sign of wanting to wake up.
