Chapter 32: There Are No Innocent Dead
Lin Huoxiao sat in the "Red Flag" car, and Buckflo sat next to him.
He recognized the driver, who was General Huang Shaokang. The young Lin Huoxiao didn't remember him very well, he looked only in his thirties, but the look between his eyebrows still made Lin Huoxiao recognize him at a glance, and he didn't expect him to be his father's driver and logistics assistant.
The sky outside was already covered with black clouds, but hovercars had not yet been developed in this era, and they were still something in theoretical physics. The Mercedes-Benz car on the road not only had obvious bumps, but the limitation of vision also made Lin Huoxiao feel extremely depressed.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, the high-speed sedan is already considered to be a gallop, but in Lin Huoxiao's feeling, this not too fast speed has caused him a huge negative physiological reaction, and he wants to vomit.
"Jianyi, what's wrong with you? Motion sickness? Huang Shaokang looked at Lin Huoxiao through the rearview mirror. Lin Huoxiao didn't speak, he shook his head slowly, closed his eyes and tried to breathe more easily.
"Hehe, I can't think of it, young man, and motion sickness. I have anti-motion sickness medication, would you like some? Buckfolo said with a smile.
"No, I'm fine, thank you." Lin Huoxiao shook his hand slowly.
"Mr. Buckflot, this kid doesn't usually get motion sickness, and I don't know what's going on today." Huang Shaokang said.
The Hongqi car stopped in front of a very inconspicuous small hotel, a man wearing a peaked cap walked up and opened the car door, Lin Huoxiao left the car with his support, and the unbearable retching made him extremely painful, and his face was in cold sweat. "What's wrong with him? Do you want to get a taxi to the hospital? The capped man asked Buckflo next to him.
Huang Shaokang caught up from behind and helped Lin Huoxiao, "It's okay, thank you, he just got motion sickness." ”
"Are you there?" Buckflo asked the cap man in a low voice. The man didn't speak, just nodded slightly.
"Let's go, let's go up." Buckflo said.
Lin Huoxiao could not recover from the lack of oxygen in his brain caused by heart palpitations and poor breathing, and he took a big breath of air, but it all seemed to be in vain. No one could appreciate that his heart was losing control like a missed beat at this moment.
Tuk-tuk.
There was three knocks on the door of Room 603.
"Mr. Wu, we're here." Buckfloo's voice suddenly became serious, which made Lin Huo scream, he couldn't think of what kind of figure could make this old man who stood at the pinnacle of science have such an attitude, is it the president? Or is it some hidden high-ranking official rich man?
The door opened. Behind the door stood a pair of men and women under the age of thirty, they looked younger than their parents, the man was very, very tall, his appearance made Lin Huoxiao have a strange sense of familiarity, he couldn't tell where he had seen him, but he must have seen this person.
Buckflo tilted his head past the young man's side and looked into the room, "Kid, are you gone?" Buckflo said cautiously.
The man nodded, "Let's all come in." The man nodded to Lin Huoxiao, turned around and walked into the room. Huang Shaokang didn't go in, Lin Huoxiao glanced at him inquiringly, he smiled and motioned Lin Huoxiao to go in, and then gently closed the door.
These two are Chinese physicists from the University of Manchester in the United Kingdom. They have made a remarkable contribution to the UK's research and education community. Buckflo introduced the two people standing in front of him to Lin Huoxiao. This is Mr. Wu Yang, and this is his wife, Ms. Yu Qing. Buckflo spoke solemnly and cautiously, as if he were introducing not two young scientists, but his father-in-law and mother-in-law, in a very unnatural tone.
But Lin Huoxiao didn't feel all this, and there was a loud bang in his head. Wuyang ...... Wu Feng? The two tall figures coincided together, and the negative feelings of nausea and palpitations were also greatly reduced.
Are they father and son? Is this Wu Feng's parents?
What can they do to help Buckfollo? Are they scientists?
Why are they here? Appearing in the father's world?
And what do they have to do with this so-called Genetic Ocean Project?
What do they have to do with their father? And what does Wu Feng have to do with himself?
Lin Huoxiao didn't believe it was a coincidence, so who was behind all this?
Lin Huoxiao's mind suddenly remembered what the man who was exactly the same as his father had said - before today, you weren't even a chess piece. Chess pieces? What kind of chess piece are you? What kind of chess game is it standing on?
A series of questions overwhelmed Lin Huoxiao, and the woman named Yu Qing hurriedly asked about Lin Huoxiao's condition, and Buck Flo embarrassedly told her that Lin Huoxiao was still suffering from motion sickness, which made everyone cry and laugh, but no one could see that Lin Huoxiao was so frightened that his heart was twitching.
"The Gene Ocean program is still very flawed."
The man known as Wuyang went straight to the point, he looked at his wife sitting beside him, sighed, and said slowly: "The pairing technique of gene dust is also very immature and unstable. And you, for now, have only mastered the technique of stripping the genetic dust that is most significant in the human genes. ”
Wu Yang looked at his wife beside him, there was a hint of inquiry in his eyes, Yu Qing nodded, and Wu Yang continued: "We can provide you with a new type of element, which cannot improve the success rate of gene dust stripping, but it can be used as a balancer, so that the new gene chain will not reject gene dust, so as to create a new species with a certain probability!" But! ”
Wu Yang suddenly stood up and said solemnly:
"Everything is uncontrollable, everything is unknown! It's like an ancient man playing with a deadly flame, maybe you don't care if you don't touch it, but when you do activate it, maybe the whole thing will be burned! ”
Wu Yang's expression was terrifying, his eyes were full of evil wisdom, and the meaning he expressed was completely different from the expression on his face. Lin Huoxiao stood up in surprise, "Then, why do you still give it to me?" You know this uncertain factor. What exactly is this element? Where does it come from, and is it synthetic? You know what the consequences are, right? Why don't you tell us? ”
Yu Qing suddenly covered her mouth and ran into the bedroom, slamming the door shut. The three men stared blankly at the closed bedroom door.
"It's not that I won't tell you, we're already helpless." Wu Yang collapsed in his seat, and he waved his hand, motioning for Buckflo and Lin Huoxiao to leave.
On the way back to the test base, Lin Huoxiao unexpectedly lost the feeling of palpitations and nausea, and he was holding a black box in his arms, which looked very thick. Buckflo frowned, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Professor, they ...... Didn't tell you where to go? Lin Huoxiao asked tentatively.
"Nope." Buckflo said slowly, "Since the establishment of the General Command of the Theater of Operations, many outstanding talents and research results have been abandoned and blocked. Prior to this, Mr. and Mrs. Wu led their own research team to successfully isolate the substance under the sponsorship of the British government and the University of Manchester. ”
Buckflo pointed to the box in Lin Huoxiao's arms, "They are supposed to promote the development of human beings to a higher level of civilization and social form, but it seems that some people are unwilling to make this scientific research achievement. ”
Buckfolo let out a long sigh, "One day, there was a violent explosion in the scientific research laboratory of Mr. and Mrs. Wu and his wife, killing more than 10 people on the spot, and injuring as many as 50 people, but fortunately neither of them was present. Afterwards, after a professional legal and political appraisal, it was not man-made, but the so-called 'accident'. Can you believe it? Hehe. ”
Buckflo smiled self-deprecatingly, "The team members who didn't die in the explosion died one by one because of the unbelievable accident. The British government sent its best agents to unravel the scenes, but not surprisingly, they were not heard from either. Desperate, the Wu couple were forced to leave the UK, and as a result, the plane they were supposed to fly exploded. All events are pointing to a result, the Wu couple must die! ”
Hearing this, Lin Huoxiao was already nervous and broke out in a cold sweat, "Is it the general headquarters of the war zone?" Lin Huoxiao asked.
"It's not. At one point, we suspected that it was the work of the ghosts, as there were no human motives or any traces of any detectable presence at the scene or afterwards. A total of 94 accidents, without exception, were identified as real accidents! But can you believe it?! ”
Lin Huoxiao suddenly remembered the mysterious man in the white light, could it be ......
"You think too much, although I didn't do it, but everything happens for a reason, and there are no innocent dead here."
Father's voice!
Lin Huoxiao looked nervously towards the source of the sound, Huang Shaokang who was originally in the driver's seat was gone, replaced by a gray figure! The figure had the exact same face as his father, and was looking at himself playfully at the corner of his mouth!
Lin Huoxiao gasped in fright, and pointed at the man in horror, "You! You! But he could not speak.
"Jianyi, what's wrong with you?" Lin Huoxiao just watched as the gray image disappeared like a cloud of smoke that had been blown away, and behind the smoke was Huang Shaokang's concerned gaze, and he looked at himself through the rearview mirror, with nervousness on his face.
"Xiaolin, what's wrong with you? Is it because I can't accept these things that I said? Buckflo also looked at Lin Huoxiao nervously.
Lin Huoxiao hurriedly shook his head, "It's okay, I'm fine." ”
Buckflo looked at Lin Huoxiao with a little confusion, "Hey, maybe you've already been under a lot of pressure. But you don't need to be afraid, this is China, China's army and agents are among the best in the world, and China's criminal investigation department is also the most efficient in solving crimes. I believe that no one dares to do anything to us on Chinese soil, which is one of the reasons why I am especially willing to come to China. ”
Buckfolo comforted Lin Huoxiao, whose face was pale, "In this era, governments all over the world have gathered in the general headquarters of the theater, and the largest theater command department is in China, in the city where we live, under such a huge umbrella, I think it is safer here than anywhere else!" Buckflo didn't see the vision just now, he still chattered to Lin Huoxiao like a child.
Lin Huoxiao understood his kindness, smiled and nodded, "Professor, thank you, I'm much better now." Maybe I'm too tired. ”
"It's okay, I'll get back to the base later, and you can get some sleep." Buckflo patted Lin Huoxiao's arm, "Give me the box, we will call a meeting of all the key members tonight, and we need to further determine the process and plan after that." ”
……
Closing the door with his backhand, Lin Huoxiao stood in this "unfamiliar" bedroom prepared for himself. The bedroom is very clean, with a few clothes hanging on the wall, and in the center is a small 1.5-meter bed, the quilt is scattered and piled up, and the pillow is leaning against the head of the bed.
Lin Huoxiao stretched out his hand to straighten the pillow, and a photo behind it was revealed.
He leaned in to look, and a great wave of anger and hysterical sadness suddenly rushed from his body to his brain. There are three people in the photo, and the young father is holding himself proudly, and he is wearing a beige military uniform. The beautiful mother held her father's arm with a touching smile on her face. He sat in his father's arm, with a silly smile on his face.
Heavy sadness mixed with indescribable grievances stuck in Lin Huoxiao's throat, which made him slam his fist next to the photo. In 20 years, he has never seen his mother smile like that, he has never been proudly held in his arms by his father, he no longer has that hazy memory, his parents took him to play on the artificial beach, bathed in artificial sunlight, and the brilliant light reflected the circle of light......
Hot tears slid down Lin Huoxiao's chin, and he knelt in pain in front of his father's bed, hammering his chest with both hands. Who is it that wants to break up an otherwise intact home? Who is it that tears up an ordinary small family for his own selfish desires? Lin Huoxiao buried his head in the quilt and sobbed hoarsely. Suddenly, he raised his head and stared at his bloodshot eyes and shouted, "Come out!" Get the hell out of here! I know you're watching, get the hell out of here! ”
