Chapter 25 Giving I
The sunlight of the new era is always very short-lived, and in the blink of an eye, the gap in the radiant clouds has closed, and the dream-like sunlight and the brilliant warmth it brings have disappeared together.
The wind was getting louder again.
Helen tightened her garment again, bowed her head, and walked forward against the cold wind. The bright smile of the goddess had disappeared from her face, replaced by mechanical indifference, as if the smile had never appeared at all.
And so, she walked alone through the cold wind for two blocks, through the ruins that had been deliberately preserved, and stood in front of a neighborhood that seemed to be embraced and chaotic. The tone of the neighborhood is still ruins, but it is full of shantytowns and bungalows of all kinds. The four- and five-storey buildings on the corners of the streets, apparently centuries old, are the nobility of the slums. It's just that the men lying or sitting at the entrance of the building, as well as the overflowing sewage and garbage, will make people completely forget the precious historical significance of these buildings.
This is the edge of Dragon City. On the official map of Dragon City, this area is actually not part of Dragon City, and most of the people who live here are engaged in the lowest level of work in Dragon City, including cleaning up garbage and carrying corpses. They live with the magnates of Dragon City, and in the eyes of the pure-blooded and noble, they undoubtedly live in hell. But in the eyes of the wilderness, it is a paradise in the truest sense of the word.
Helen gathered her slightly messy blonde hair and walked into the slums, walking in front of many men who were as fierce as wolves, and walked towards the center of the area. She was dressed simply, but neat and clean, and neatness was the thing that didn't fit in with the area. In the face of such an alien woman, those men who have nothing to do and have excess energy surprisingly do not show greed or desire, nor do they have the fear that will inevitably arise when they know her true identity, but when they see her appear, they will automatically move their bodies on both sides, give way to the best way, and then watch her back go away, so that the straight body can relax.
Helen walked to a four-story apartment, walked through the halfway door, and went up the narrow, dark staircase. Two strong, fat black men were coming down the stairs, and when they saw Helen, they were all taken aback, and immediately pressed their bodies against the wall, trying to make way for Helen from the narrow wooden staircase. They smiled at Helen and didn't mind her lack of reaction, as if convinced that it would be enough for Helen to see her kindness.
The eyes of these people show respect.
Helen knocked on the door on the fourth floor, pushed it open, and walked in. It's a small two-bedroom apartment with an old-fashioned brain and plenty of books and storage to fill the apartment. In the middle of the ocean of books and memory, a slender girl is crouching in front of the light screen of the brain, working hard. The number of jΓΉ flipping on the light screen is definitely not fast, but it is completely unacceptable for ordinary people. The girl's expression was nervous and focused, and the green tendons on the side of her neck were beating rapidly because of the excessive consumption of brain power.
Helen glanced at the girl's state and knew that her body was close to overdraft, so she said, "You can rest." β
The girl suddenly relaxed, and suddenly broke out in a profuse sweat. She turned her head, smiled a little weakly, and said hello: "Sister Helen, you are here!" β
Helen glanced at the number on the screen and said, "Sally, it seems that you are all ready." β
The girl is none other than Sally.
After Sue and Medirli fled, Sally did not leave Dragon City, but chose to stay. The girl who has lost her income and her protector knows how difficult life will be, but she still has unfulfilled dreams. She will never leave Dragon City until her dream is realized. Sally had long been ready to give her body, and in the early days of Dragon City, she had been exchanging her body for dreams.
The day after Sue left Dragon City, Helen approached Sally, arranged a place for her to live, and offered her a job. The work is not tiring, and the income is considerable. The frugal girl exchanged all the money she could save for books and storage for knowledge. Helen, on the other hand, would come to see her once a week and inject her with genetically concocted drugs. This drug only boosts physical performance in a small way, but it can greatly increase the vitality of the brain. Sally doesn't have a talent for fighting, but she's smart and has a rare amount of perseverance, so Helen's medicine works surprisingly well. After a few injections, Sally went from being an ordinary smart girl to someone with ten times the IQ of ordinary people and dozens of times the processing speed of jΓΉ. Although her brain is still far from being compared to the high-level ability that has truly opened her wisdom, for her, it is already an opportunity that she has never dreamed of.
Helen took out a small needle of less than ten centimeters, removed the rubber seal from the needle mouth, and said, "This is the last injection." β
Sally sat down in front of Helen and stretched out her thin arm for Helen to stick the needle into her upper arm.
The injection takes a full five minutes. In the process, Helen looked at the mountain of memory and casually asked, "What have you learned?" β
Sally struggled to recall, "Quite a lot. It includes all the basic theories in mathematics, as well as architecture, engineering mechanics, genetics, basic biochemistry, applied industry, various agricultural ...... A lot of them don't understand very well, so I can only write them down first. Fortunately, I have saved all the cases I can find in my memory, so I can refer to them slowly in the future. β
Helen frowned imperceptibly and said, "You just injected to overdraft your brain power, which will reduce the stability of your genes." You must know that with your physique, it is impossible to receive genetic enhancement in the future. That is, you are learning these things at the cost of your later life. β
"Sister Helen, I don't want to do that either. But you know I don't have time, and I want to learn more before I leave. Sally said softly.
At this time, it seems that Sally, who is much younger, is the one who is really mature.
Helen did not persuade again, but patiently waited for the injection to be completed. At this moment, the small alien creature suddenly emerged from her chest and poked its head out. It had reverted to a moving cocoon, like the tip of its head moving, then bent in Sally's direction, then formed a mouth, spit out a long, dark tongue, and waved at Sally. Sally stretched out her hand and let it lick a few times, not afraid at all, as if she had known about its existence for a long time.
"It's grown a lot!" Sally said. Seeing the alien creature shrink back, she looked a little reluctant.
Helen gave a rare smile and said, "Well, but the older you get, the more disobedient you become." β
As he spoke, the injection had been completed. Helen kept the whole bag of bread and did not linger long. As she walked out of the slum, Helen stopped and glanced back at the four-story building, which was almost hidden in the clutter. By this time tomorrow, Sally should leave. She didn't leave alone, and some people in the ghetto would follow her away. Maybe hundreds, maybe just a few.
No matter how many people follow, this unique and strong girl will have to pursue her dreams. In Dragon City, there are too many people who are stronger and more talented than her, but Sally's persistence is very rare. Helen didn't really care about her, and qualities like perseverance could never impress Helen, who had always been indifferent.
Helen has seen all kinds of rare geniuses, madmen and perverts, and Sally, no matter how special she is, is just an ordinary wilderness girl in her eyes.
In fact, Helen knows very well why she takes special care of Sally, that is because Sally is the last person in the entire Dragon City who has a special connection with Sue. Seeing Sally sometimes reminds her of Sue, although the odds are very, very small.
The process of returning to the private hospital was smooth, no one was looking for trouble, and the few special bullets in Helen's delicate pistol were not used.
Helen went directly to the biochemical zone that only she could enter, and as soon as she opened the safety door, the little alien creature jumped out of her chest, stretched out its body in the air, glided and flew for some distance, and then shrunk into a prismatic shape, and silently jumped into the largest petri dish, without even a splash.
After being immersed in the nutrient solution, it stretched out and curled up in a ball, slowly sinking to the bottom of the water, as if it had fallen asleep peacefully.
Except for the petri dish it occupies, the hundreds of other petri dishes in the biochemical zone are empty. On the wall is a large screen of light that marks the status of all the petri dishes, each of which has its own number. At this moment, except for one Petri dish mark on the light screen, which is illuminated, the rest of the Petri dishes are dark, and the number of the life form below is marked with a striking eye.
And the only living form in the petri dish marker that lit up was no longer a code name, but had its own name, Snow.
After another glance at the sleeping snow, Helen closed the protective door and went to insurance. She pulled over a light screen and looked at the number of days of snow on it, and as she reached into a detector, the right side of the screen began to swipe the numbers about her body. In fact, Helen is also very aware of the state of her body without instrument testing, but in this matter, she would rather be cautious.
The state of her body was just as she expected. So Helen returned to the central room, took off her clothes, lay naked on her back on the automatic operating table, and started the preset program.
A strong, blazing disinfectant light shone on her abdomen, and after half a minute, the light was withdrawn and the multi-functional medical robotic arm moved over. After the holographic positioning was completed, two long needles pierced Helen's abdomen. She snorted softly, and her face turned a little pale for a moment. Throughout the operation, Helen didn't use a single **.
The needle quickly penetrates into the predetermined position, and then the mature eggs are aspirated down the hollow needle tube and stored in a sealed seal.
After a few minutes, Helen finally got off the operating table and got dressed. Her movements were slow, and fine beads of sweat were constantly oozing out of her pale face.
A light screen next to it suddenly floated over, and a deep and vigorous voice sounded: "Helen, didn't bother you, did you?" My men found three bodies in the afternoon, and I think it should be related to you. β
