Joseph.......

"I'll do it."

The long-faced officer was agitated, as if he had thought of something terrible, and some coffee spilled from the edge of the porcelain cup in his hand, wetting his belt and trousers.

"Evan, quickly contact Captain Johnson and ask him to send troops immediately, besides, there is no need to make a record of this skipping operation, you ......"

Obviously, Joseph was still more authoritative here, and Hale stared at him for a while, confirming that the order had been given before turning to leave.

Back in the closed room, Haier saw that there was already a new researcher working in his place, looking through the mask, it was a new face, Haier didn't know when this guy was transferred.

"This is John. A new employee sent by the company last week, your future colleague. ”

Joseph walked over, and the fluffy fabric of the bell pants rubbed against each other, making a slight "pop~" sound:

"You can leave work early today, Haier, tomorrow's holiday will continue as usual...... Let's go and spend time with my family. ”

"Really!! Thank you so much, Doctor. ”

Haier excitedly took off his mask, and his pale face reflected by the light showed a touch of ruddy.

"You don't need to thank me." Joseph said, "Just remember to go to work on time the day after tomorrow, and the company won't remind you of the obsolescence, but the consequences ...... You know. ”

Patting Hale's shoulder, which had become slightly stiff, Joseph stepped out of the room, taking an aluminum leather case with him as he went.

For this base, Joseph is more familiar with this base than Haier, and his authority is much higher than him.

To be precise, he is barely one of the top talents in the company, although he only helps to take charge of a small part of the research topics when he participates in major research, but it is undeniable that his value is even greater than this underground laboratory in the eyes of SR company.

There were originally two or three abandoned factories on the surface of this four-story underground laboratory, and after the intervention of SR Company, a large underground laboratory was directly opened underground, in which all the permissions were controlled by Joseph, who gave this place to him as a lair.

The first floor is home to ordinary researchers and a small number of soldiers, the second and third floors are used for research, and the fourth floor is Joseph's personal space, which is strictly forbidden to be approached without permission.

Joseph entered the third floor, and as soon as he stepped out of the dedicated elevator, he came to the special reception room on the left-hand side.

Joseph knew that the reception room was set up in a simulated environment that simulated a rainy day and a bustling city, but the designers said that such a changing weather setting would help relieve stress, so he kept the device.

A woman who looked to be in her early sixties sat in a wheelchair, an expression called "anxious" that filled her old face.

"Hey, Flat Nose, do you know how long I've been waiting?" The woman's voice fluctuated when she spoke, and a muffled anger could be heard in it, "Don't forget, if it wasn't for my strong support, you wouldn't have climbed to your current position......"

“ok，ok。 Don't get excited, Catherine. I've been so busy lately...... You know, a new round of routine testing has begun, and it's all waiting for first-hand data, and the detailed report alone is enough for me to write for a few days......"

"No matter how busy you are, it's not an excuse for you to be late, Joseph, there will always be time to squeeze in."

"So now I'm here." Joseph said.

He raised his hand for the attendant to go out and pulled out a chair to sit opposite:

"Let me guess, was your request for an experiment rejected by the higher-ups? Still is...... Do you miss Jessica? ”

"Oh, you clever flat nose, you know all the things I think this old bone thinks." Catherine said helplessly, "These guys didn't intend to ignore me at all, and sent the application, although it took a month to reply, but I knew that it was just to fabricate a false impression that the management had repeatedly discussed." ”

The uneven wrinkles on her face were like a chrysanthemum, and the two heavy dark circles under her eyes made her look very unhealthy.

"I'm getting marginalized, Joseph."

"I can't go back to my youthful years, I must admit that I am old and frail, and I can't even keep up with my energy when I fight with those upright and ambitious young people."

"Helen died in a car accident last month, and Sa quit...... The henchmen have left one after another, and the people who are now surrounding me to serve me are all new faces I don't know. They are enthusiastic and polite, but they don't know what to ask. ”

"Nobody cared about my condition, and once I woke up from a dream and I barely had the strength to lift my hand...... It took three hours for the little bitch-like assistant to find out......"

Joseph's expression was a little solemn, Catherine was his mother-in-law in terms of relationship, she supported him when she was young, and she was a woman who stood by his side unconditionally like Jessica, and he valued it very much.

"Do you know who's trying to get you out?" He said.

"Laune...... Nathan ......"

After saying a few names in a row, Catherine slowly shook her head and said:

"I can't tell, oh my God, it's just so easy for them to play me to death an old lady with uremia...... In fact, they still have some leeway, maybe for your sake...... The proudest decision of my life was to agree to your marriage to Jessica at the age of fifty. ”

"Your body...... I mean, how sick are you? ”

"Late."

The room fell silent.

The simulated environment was adjusted from rain to sunny after rain, and a bright rainbow appeared on the ceiling, combined with the virtual three-dimensional sense, it would make people feel extremely relaxed, but at this time, there was no move in the eyes of the two.

"That technology isn't mature enough, Catherine."

There was another long silence.

"Maybe a kidney transplant is one of the better options right now." Looking at her disappointed eyes, Joseph felt that the feeling of that bad time had come again, "Objectively speaking, as far as I know, that technique has been tested on animals nearly 50,000 times, and only ten cases have successfully survived the operation, and only one pig remains conscious. ”

"People, of course, have also tested. 550 cases, no old people, and there was indeed one person alive at the end, it ......"

Joseph organized the language, trying to convince Catherine.

"It's a monster...... No! It's a freak! ”

"You know what? Ordinary people can't compare with it, and those isolated highly viable cells, transplanted at will without successful cultivation, 99% of people can't withstand ......"

Catherine had a very bad complexion and coughed violently, and was speechless for a long time.

"Okay, okay. It's not all hopeless. Joseph's heart softened, and he said, "I just found an example that may have succeeded, he has not undergone surgery, but he can do many incredible things like a first-order creature. ”
