Chapter 21: The Divine Comedy of the Eighties

Professor Shen closed his eyes, leaned out the window, and sighed, "Let me disappear with my kingdom!" He let go of his grip on the window frame.

In the next second, he reached out violently and grabbed the window frame, opened his eyes to look at the distant land, and said, "Oh my mother, I'm scared to death!" He trembled and got off the windowsill, squatting under the windowsill and gasping for breath for a while. His body stopped shaking, and his breath was even out, so he got up, didn't look back at the windowsill, and strode out of the office.

Ants are still greedy for life, let alone Professor Shen, who is highly educated?

He has been at the helm of Gonggu Island for 12 years. As early as the beginning of his tenure, he thought about possible disasters such as "coups", "mutinies", etc., and left a back road for himself - it was a motorboat, hidden in a deep ditch under the island. But everything went well for the past twelve years, and he almost forgot about the ship.

He went down the stairs with ease, through the deserted streets, across the quiet road, to a lonely hut by the sea. The tide crashed against the shore with a loud bang, and he glanced back, a smile rising at the corner of his mouth. Then he went into the hut, which was littered with scrap planks, cables, tattered surgical carts, and other miscellaneous items—a general storeroom.

Professor Shen climbed up the high pile of groceries and threw all the things under his feet outside the house - this pile of groceries was deliberately piled up, and there were many empty plastic boxes inside, which looked large but not heavy. In just two minutes, he could see the floor.

Although it was only two minutes, Professor Shen was also tired and sweating - the amount of exercise today was too much for him, a sixty-year-old man. At this time, he smelled a burst of men's perfume coming from his body, and suddenly understood the question: why don't poisonous insects attack him? Because he is the only one on the island who uses men's perfume.

The composition of perfumes is so complex that it is difficult to tell what chemical ingredients are frightening to poisonous insects. But it was this different habit that allowed him to escape.

He didn't have time to rejoice, and with great difficulty he lifted a scrap plank from the ground, revealing a small hole that could only be passed through by one person, and several rough concrete steps could be seen through the hole.

Professor Shen descended the stairs into a concrete hole that looked like a sewer. The water at the bottom of the cave is rippling and dark blue, but it is the sea water outside. It turned out that the cave was connected to the sea. He walked along the cave wall, and after walking a short time, he saw a motorboat tethered to the water in front of him, swaying with the water.

He jumped on the boat and couldn't help complaining, it turned out that the boat had been parked for twelve years, and the paint was mottled and rusted. I tried to start, but I didn't expect the engine to roar, and it could still work.

Untying the motorboat and galloping out of the cave, he came out to sea. Looking back at Luogu Island, I saw a puff of green smoke rising from the direction of the plantation on the island - I think the enemy had set it on fire.

Luogu Island is getting farther and farther away, and Professor Shen only feels a sense of relief in his heart: "Burn, burn, burn!" It's better to burn everything! "For the first time in twelve years, he left the island. The sea breeze was gentle, the seagulls were chirping as the fish were chasing, and the sun was beautiful and warm—it had been twelve years since he discovered the beauty of the sea.

The island he regarded as his kingdom was not his prison?

Professor Shen remembered the past: the reason why everything on Gonggu Island existed had to go back to the 50s of the last century. At that time, shortly after the end of the Second World War, people all over the world were celebrating the victory of the just war, and at the same time, they were also vigilant about the outbreak of the Third World War.

At that time, Africa was suffering from dysentery; In Europe, there are concerns about high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease; At that time, schistosomiasis and edema were endemic in China. According to the Taoist saying, "Good soldiers are ominous, and there will be a year of disaster after the army." But scientists in the United States don't see it that way, and they think it's probably because of different races, which leads to different resistance to different pathogens.

From this line of thinking, the CIA of the United States carried out a program codenamed "Ethnic Hunting". They want to find pathogens that only target a certain ethnic group through infection experiments of different races. Assuming the outbreak of World War III, the effect of surrendering the enemy without a fight can be achieved by releasing pathogens.

The program was first implemented in Africa, where the CIA experimented with some African tribes under the guise of aid. In order not to attract the attention of the world, they carried out medical assistance after the infection - although to put it bluntly, it is the old routine of injuring people and treating people, but they have completed a lot of scientific research in the process, and they have also earned a good reputation as humanitarian guardians in the world.

Aksha inherited some of the ideas of the "Hunting Nation" program and carried out human infection experiments around the world, such as the experiments on Luogu Island, which mainly infect Chinese with fungi.

At Professor Shen's level, of course, it is impossible to know too many secrets, but he is very sure that the "Saas" virus is one of the scientific research results of the "Hunting Nation" project, and the legendary zombie virus may not be a fictional plot in the movie. Biological weapons, with their advantages of low cost and great lethality, are unlikely to be forgotten by war maniacs. Similar experiments are being done all over the world, and new pathogens are being created every day.

At this time, the motorboat suddenly stopped, and Professor Shen pulled the pull ring of the engine hard, the engine had no temper like a dead pig, and it would not get angry as you wanted.

The sea and sky are vast, looking back at Luogu Island is just a small black spot in the sea, and the green smoke rising from the island has also become a shallow oblique line.

"Retribution, retribution!" Professor Shen muttered a few words and sat down in the cabin dejectedly. He tortured thousands of Chinese to death, and as long as they were paid well, those laborers would continue to pour to the island and become bark people. After being sucked dry by the fungus, their shriveled carcasses are thrown into the sea and become a delicacy for the fish.

The water laps against the jet ski, not knowing where to push it. Professor Shen felt that he was sitting in a cradle of death, and in a trance he heard his mother's nursery rhyme with a strong native accent: "Moon Lao Niang, Huang Baba." Little brat, you want to eat Mom. Take a knife and cut it to him, and put it in his bosom and eat it. ”

I looked around, but I couldn't see the direction of home. My mother had been dead for many years, and she would no longer lean in front of the door and wait for him to come home for dinner.

"I can't go back, I can't go back!" Professor Shen said to himself sadly.

Looking back on my decades of life experience, the reason why I became a scientist was originally because of my curiosity about life. He also remembers one spring in his childhood, when he caught tadpoles from the field and raised them in bottles. The tadpole was observed every day, and finally the tadpole grew two legs. At that time, he thought it was a great miracle and decided to find out the secret of life.

But decades have passed, and he is still as ignorant of life as he was then. The origin of life, the meaning of life to the universe, and the secret of eternal life are three difficult questions that science cannot understand at present. It may take a few hundred years for science to solve these three problems.

"Perhaps," Professor Shen thought of a possibility with a flash of inspiration in his mind: "Life is not meant to be studied, but to be enjoyed." It's like TV, you don't have to know why there's a figure on TV to enjoy it. Why don't you watch TV well, but fold it to pieces? That's a stupid thing that only a kid would do. ”

Thinking back to his decades of trying to figure out the secrets of life, and not knowing how many spring flowers and autumn moons he missed, Professor Shen smiled. He felt as stupid as the kid who smashed the TV to get to the bottom of it, except that the kid's hair was black and he was already full of gray hair.

"It's not too late," Professor Shen thought with a smile, "It's still some time before I die." The sun is shining today, so I'll get a good night's sleep. He collapsed in the cabin, closed his eyes and took a nap. He even hummed the theme song of "Manhunt", which was very popular in the 80s, "La-a-la, la-la-la......"

This song can also be called a divine comedy today, and there are only two words in the whole song: "la" and "yah".

In the midst of sad romantic songs, he soon fell half-asleep.

At this time, the sound of the ship breaking in the distance was heard. Professor Shen rolled over, but the voice was getting louder and louder. He got up and squinted, only to see four assault boats dragging long white marks toward his dinghy, most of the people on board were wearing black uniforms—probably those of Aksha's old rival, the Secret Service.

Professor Shen suddenly sobered up, and for a moment, he was really nervous, but when he looked back, he thought, "I'm not even afraid of death now, what special things are I afraid of?" I've never been in jail in my life, so let's experience it! ”

If the Dongfu City Special Affairs Office was aware of the secret experiments on Luogu Island, it really looked down on them. The reason why they knew that something had happened on Luogu Island was that a large number of forest fire satellites were launched in China at that time, and such satellites were very sensitive to wildland fire. Zou Yan set a fire on the island and helped them a lot.

Commissioner Pi Chaoyang has been in office for several years, and he has made no achievements, and he is determined to make a great contribution - even if it is emergency rescue and disaster relief? So as soon as he knew that there was a fire on the island, he came. Of course, the director was dispatched, and the pomp and circumstance could not be too small, so he brought about 200 special service members with him.

Halfway through the boat, a tattered motorboat appeared in front of me, and I don't know which dynasty or generation it was. There was an old man on the boat, with a smile on his face and clear eyes, like an immortal in the world, but he was dressed like a rich man, and it was estimated that all that dress would cost him a few months' salary.

Pi Chaoyang couldn't tell where the other party came from, so he ordered to stop the boat and ask. When the boat stopped, Commissioner Pi raised his horn and shouted, "Hey, hey! Old man, what's going on on the island over there? ”

Professor Shen just looked like an immortal, and he didn't really know any spells, so he raised his hand and waved it vigorously, shouting, "I don't know!" Hurry up, don't disturb my sleep! ”

At this time, in this sea area, a mysterious old man suddenly appeared, which is really strange. But Director Pi looked at the old man again and again, and didn't see why. It's not good to make extraneous branches now, and Director Pi can only order everyone to move forward at full speed!

In fact, Director Pi just wants to make meritorious contributions, if he doesn't care about the thirty-seven or twenty-something, and arrests the old man, then he will make a great contribution!
