Chapter 53: Fingers Moved!
"Xu Shan, what's wrong with you, why is your face so ugly?" Zhang Tianlin's words interrupted his musings.
"No, nothing," Xu Shan said, "maybe I'm too tired these days." β
"Also, after today, I will definitely let you have a good rest." Zhang Tianlin didn't seem to see what was on his mind.
"After today?" Xu Shan asked puzzledly, "Mentor, what do you mean by this?" β
"If my inference is correct, now that the 'gene regurgitation' stage has been completed, if Ye Dongming can survive tonight, he may get a new pair of legs!"
Zhang Tianlin said excitedly, still full of energy.
When Xu Shan heard this, the enthusiasm in his heart was instantly ignited, and this enthusiasm was like a fire, burning away Fang Cai's irritability and pessimism.
So he said excitedly: "If Ye Dongming can survive tonight, it means that we have succeeded?" β
"Yes!" Zhang Tianlin showed a smile that he hadn't seen for a long time, "Xu Shan, do you know what we're going to face next?" β
"No, I don't know."
He looked at Zhang Tianlin in front of him, and suddenly thought of a word: spring breeze proud.
"Hehe, you'll know." Zhang Tianlin said confidently.
Xu Shan once again saw a smug look on Zhang Tianlin's face, but this look couldn't hide his abundant energy, which was definitely not what an old man in his sixties should have.
Looking at this face, Xu Shan quietly fell into deep thought......
"Professor Xu, come here quickly!"
Xu Shan was awakened by the assistant's call, and subconsciously replied: "It's here!" β
After saying that, he looked at his watch, and at six o'clock, he had just slept for two hours.
"HeβHe seems to be awake!"
As soon as Xu Shan walked into the ward, he heard the assistant say excitedly.
Xu Shan took a closer look and found no sign of Ye Dongming waking up, so he said to the assistant, "Are you mistaken?" β
"Absolutely not, I saw his left thumb move just now."
Xu Shan stared at his finger for a while: "You should be too tired, go next door and rest for a while." β
"Hey, Professor Xu, why don't you believe it!" The assistant was a little anxious, and then suddenly shouted, "Look, it's moving again!" β
Xu Shan turned his head suddenly, and sure enough, he saw Ye Dongming's left thumb twitching slightly. He hurriedly called the chief doctor and checked Ye Dongming's condition.
"Everything works." The doctor said, "If he can move, it means he's awake, so wait." β
Xu Shan thought for a while, leaned down to Ye Dongming's ear, and whispered, "Ye Dongming, if you wake up, move your fingers." β
Nothing happened.
"If you can hear me, move your finger."
It's moving, left thumb!
Xu Shan was ecstatic, tried his best to restrain the excitement in his heart, and continued: "Don't worry, you are recovering. β
Ye Dongming's fingers moved again, which showed that he could fully understand and really woke up.
Xu Shan immediately reported the situation to Zhang Tianlin, and fifteen minutes later, he rushed over.
The two discussed the experimental data for a long time and came to an exciting conclusion: the "genetic modification" experiment was successfully completed.
"The next step is to see the emergence of 'regenerative ability', which is the most critical step, even if the risk is reduced a lot at present, but it still determines the success or failure of the experiment." Zhang Tianlin said.
"Like you said before, getting this far is half the battle."
"No, not even half."
Hearing this answer, Xu Shan felt as if he had been splashed with cold water, and he thought of the follow-up personality test and mental observation, and he was a little unhappy.
At this time, Zhang Tianlin's phone rang, and it was Vice President Li Qingyi calling.
Zhang Tianlin hung up the phone and said to Xu Shan: "Zhang Mei is here, I still want to see Ye Dongming." β
"Okay, I can tell her the good news." Xu Shan said this sentence without thinking about it.
"It's not the time yet," Zhang Tianlin shook his head, "At least I can't reveal Ye Dongming's situation yet." It's best to wait until the 'regenerative power' is revealed. β
Xu Shan was thinking about what he said.
"Let's go, let's go over together." Zhang Tianlin said as he walked, "Stabilize her mentality first." β
The two came to Li Qingyi's office and saw the haggard Zhang Mei.
Seeing the two of them, the poor woman seemed to be instantly relieved from her sorrow, she stood up suddenly, and said in a strong tone that was about to be exhausted: "How is Dongming, is he, okay?" β
"He's fine." Zhang Tianlin nodded heavily, "Don't worry, drink saliva first, and I'll let Xu Shan tell him about his specific situation." β
Then, Xu Shan roughly described the process of the experiment, including the situation of each stage, and talked about Ye Dongming's recovery and current state, except for the fact that Ye Dongming had woken up.
Finally, Zhang Tianlin added: "Overall, so far, the experiment has been a smooth success. β
Xu Shan tried her best to be popular when she spoke, but Zhang Mei still didn't understand much, in this process, her heart was always hanging, until Zhang Tianlin finished the last sentence, and the big stone that pressed on the bottom of her heart finally landed.
"Then, since the experiment was successful, why is Dongming still in a coma?" Zhang Mei asked nervously.
"It's a very complicated and long process, and we need to be patient." Zhang Tianlin explained, "Don't worry, if Dongming wakes up, we will definitely notify you as soon as possible." β
After all, she got the answer she wanted, Zhang Mei didn't ask anymore, and she finally said, "Can I make a request?" β
"You say."
"I want to see Dongming."
"This, I'm afraid this won't work," Xu Shan said embarrassedly, "The ward requires sterility and dust-free, so ......"
Zhang Mei looked at the three of them pleadingly.
At this time, Li Qingyi spoke: "Lao Zhang, let her take a look, after all, it is his own son......"
Zhang Tianlin was also very embarrassed, if an unknowable situation happened because of the visit, it would be too late to regret it. He looked at Xu Shan, as if asking for his opinion.
"Dean Lin, it's not that we don't allow visits, it's because this is a critical moment, and we can't have any accidents or take any risks." Xu Shan said, "Please forgive me. β
The last sentence was addressed to Zhang Mei.
At this moment, Zhang Mei couldn't hold back any longer, and the tears in her eyes slipped down like a straight line.
Seeing this situation, Li Qingyi proposed to let Zhang Mei look at Ye Dongming through the glass, and then she left the biological institute with peace of mind.
For Ye Dongming, time is passing quietly, but for Zhang Tianlin and others, it seems that time is never enough. They waited all the time, waiting for the experiment to go smoothly and for a miracle to happen.
But, in any case, sometimes, waiting is also a sight.
