Mystery Chapter 16: Waking Up (Part II)

"I've been in a coma for more than two days, and the situation has been going back and forth, and I'm a little worried that you won't wake up." Although Dai Zhao described the matter as serious, his tone was very relaxed.

"What? Is it more than two days? Mak Zeming was a little incredulous.

"Yes, it's been more than two days, I've been having a fever, I've been groggy." Dai Zhao's eyes looked very sincere, not like he was lying.

"Didn't my wife transfer me to a better hospital?" Mai Zeming looked around at the so-called ward.

"I discussed this plan, but after a comprehensive assessment, I felt that there might be risks in rushing to transfer it, and finally decided that it would be better to stay here for the time being."

Mai Zeming began to be a little skeptical of what Dai Zhao said, and the Minnot Group was fully capable of sending him to the best hospital in the world at any time.

Instead of lying in such a cluttered workshop.

But he didn't directly challenge Dai Zhao, he changed the topic, "What month is it today?" ”

"It's December 31st, and it's almost 9:49." Dai Zhao raised his hand and looked at the watch in his hand, "Tomorrow is the new year!" ”

Mai Zeming felt a little incredible.

"There are no newspapers here, but you can watch the TV news." Dai Zhao picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.

The time for the morning news has passed, and the news station is rolling through replays of yesterday's news.

The world is cheering for the new year.

Mai Zeming looked at this cheerful and lively scene, and tried to recall how he once welcomed the New Year with his wife and family.

What distressed him was that nothing was found for such an important scene.

He couldn't imagine that on such an important day, he would do nothing.

Even if he doesn't do anything, Jiang Yitong will do something, she is a person who pays a lot of attention to rituals.

"Will my wife come to see me today?" Mai Zeming looked up and asked Dai Zhao.

"I don't know, she always comes over whenever she wants, and she doesn't notify us in advance."

Mai Zeming is now somewhat confirmed that Dai Zhao is lying.

Jiang Yitong is a person who is very strict about time planning, and in order not to cause trouble to others, all itineraries will be informed in advance of the relevant personnel.

Dai Zhao revealed too many flaws, and the alarm in Mai Zeming's heart was sounded.

At this time, my head felt like it started to hurt again.

A picture flashed abruptly, but it was not a warm picture of a family reunion, but a slightly weird picture.

Mr. Mak saw himself sitting in a conference room, a conference room on the top floor of the Minoan building, usually reserved for the company's top executives.

A meeting room with baroque luxury furnishings and décor.

The roof is intricately carved and in the center is an ornate crystal chandelier that fills the room with a gorgeous light that reflects the light.

Three walls are adorned with beautiful oil paintings, which his father personally auctioned at Sotheby's, and the only remaining wall is a large LCD screen.

More than 10 years ago, when my father was still in power, I did the decoration.

He himself didn't like the slightly pompous decoration style, but he had no plans to redecorate.

After all, there are many old people in the company who have worked hard with their fathers.

I don't want to create the illusion that after coming to power, I will overturn everything left by my predecessors and put it to fruition.

In the center is a large conference table, which can accommodate more than 20 people at the same time.

At this time, he was sitting in the main seat of the conference room, and Jiang Yitong was sitting next to him.

Also attending the meeting were several directors of the group's biomedical department and consulting scientists hired by Gaoxin.

The people of the Zhanggu Institute are also here, and the main topic of today's meeting is to listen to the report of the Zhanggu Institute.

The group's biomedical department has been cooperating with the Zhanggu Research Institute for more than a year, and although the project has been working hard, I finally received good news two days ago.

The first to stand up and speak was Wang Jianguo, director of the Zhanggu Research Institute.

Director Wang is a wise person, and it seems that he doesn't care too much about the affairs of the institute, waiting for retirement for a thousand years, but after more contact, he will find that this is an old fox.

He just said a few words and ended his speech quickly.

The next person to speak was Zhang Wei, the deputy director of the institute, who was full of ambition, a greedy person, and finally a smart person.

The project of the Minnot Group was first promoted through Zhang Wei, and it is said that Wang Jianguo was opposed at the earliest.

The video began to play on the LCD screen, and as the video played, Zhang Wei stood on the side to explain.

At first, a large part of the technical explanation was a bit boring, and Mai Zeming was a little boring to watch. However, when he secretly glanced at Jiang Yitong on the side, his eyes widened and he listened with relish.

3D modeling of the DNA double helix structure, 360-degree rotation in the screen. Zhang Wei pointed to one of the structures to explain.

Then a hand appears in the picture, extracting a fragment from the double helix structure, and then inserting a new fragment, and the whole structure is spliced back together.

Then there was a series of operations, Zhang Wei stood on the side, explaining each operation in detail.

Mai Zeming only listened to a rough idea, and too many professional things made him a little foggy.

Finally, the video screen suddenly cuts to the real scene in the laboratory.

A guinea pig appears in the center of the frame, lying motionless in a transparent glass case.

Immediately after that, a syringe enters the screen and injects the agent into the mouse.

Then the picture seems to stand still, and stops there.

After a while, the mouse's hind legs began to move, followed by the front legs.

Then he nimbly rolled over from the ground and stood up.

After standing in place for a moment, he began to walk around, probing his head around the glass box.

Mai Zeming's eyes were a little hot, he didn't expect to succeed, although this was only the first step.

He was so excited that he involuntarily stepped forward and shook Zhang Wei's hand.

This is an epoch-making discovery, and many people have paid a lot for this moment since 3 years ago.

Everyone stood up from their seats, clapping desperately, and everyone seemed very excited.

Jiang Yitong couldn't hold back her emotions anymore, and tears burst out of her eyes.

Mai Zeming turned around and hugged her tightly, and after years of waiting, they finally saw hope.

Mai Zeming remembers this meeting very clearly.

But for some reason, I always felt that my perspective in the conference room was a little strange.

After the image disappeared, the pain in the head gradually subsided.

Dai Zhao looked at himself from the sidelines, but he didn't show much worry, as if he was used to it.

Mai Zeming glanced up at the clock on the bedside table.

"54:43:18", time passes imperceptibly.

"Can you throw this bell away?" Mai Zeming said to Dai Zhao.

"Don't you want to know what happens when the countdown ends? Your bracelet is still there. Dai Zhao smiled and looked at Mai Zeming.

Mai Zeming thought for a while, a little entangled in his heart, and finally curiosity prevailed.

I glanced at the bracelet on my left wrist, but I still didn't take it off.

Dai Zhao saw everything in his eyes and smiled meaningfully.

Mai Zeming felt as if his body was slowly waking up, struggling, and trembling out of bed.

Dai Zhao just looked at him like this, and didn't come over to help him.

Mai Zeming had just gotten out of bed, and his walk was not very steady, so he carefully walked slowly in the ward.

I walked to the wall and touched the industrial wall, this building should be some years old.

When I walked to the window again, there was a large lawn in front of me, although the grass had already withered and yellowed. But there are many people lying on the lawn chatting and basking in the sun.

After standing for a while, I felt a little tired.

After a few steps, I sat down in a chair in the center of the room, and on the coffee table in front of me sat a TV remote, a pen, and a notebook.

Mai Zeming reached out and picked up the notebook and flipped it up casually.

Dai Zhao glanced at it and didn't stop it.

I don't know if a notebook counts as a diary, and there are things recorded on it like a journal.

On October 18, the weather was fine, and the outdoor temperature was 18-28 degrees

The next few pages record October 20, October 21, but October 22 is missing, and it jumps directly to October 23.

Then there are several consecutive days of recording, with another 1-2 days missing in between. The content of each page is pretty much the same.

Mai Zeming didn't understand what it was.

The contents of each of the previous pages are almost the same, all the way to the last page of the notebook.

A long list of numbers is written on it:

I. 102:33:26

II.99:47:58

III.96:23:34

IV.91:36:22

V.83:06:28

......

IX.64:25:58

Mai Zeming glanced at the bracelet on his left wrist and looked at the number beating on it: "54:35:28".

It's time!

But he still couldn't figure out what it meant.

Written at the end of the chapter: Thank you again for the heroism of "nothing to fight", I am sincerely afraid, and I hereby add a new chapter.
