afterlife reservation

Human nature once dropped from the mountaintop, is covered with snow, silt, thorns, and blood-stained carcasses—

In Z022, the CRA military garrison.

"Professor Xiang."

Xiang Ming nodded and handed the identity card to the guarding soldier, and glanced around inadvertently: "Are you two the only ones on duty today?"

The guarding soldiers usually have a good relationship with Xiang Ming, and they smiled when they heard Xiang Ming's question: "Yes, the great victory on the front line is celebrated in the lobby, hey, why didn't you go?"

"Oh, I'm coming to get a file."

Another soldier who had recorded the information returned the ID card to Professor Xiang. Hearing what he said, he deliberately joked: "Professor Xiang is really dedicated to his work. The army is grateful to have experts like you."

"It's coming again, the brat wants to be beaten."

"Hey, we are complimenting you!"

After bidding farewell to the two, Xiang Ming walked into the elevator of the experiment center familiarly. At this time, the entire base could only hear the sound of cold machines running, and the bright light in the corridor was a little chilly because of this.

Xiang Ming stepped out of the elevator, but instead of walking in the direction of the studio, he turned in the opposite direction for about five intersections before arriving at his destination. Those who are not familiar with such a large laboratory would be afraid to detour. It takes a few laps to find here.Xiang Ming opened the door with his ID card, but there was something hidden in the seemingly ordinary laboratory.

When you enter the door, you can see a large console in the very center, and the whole place is very empty. The other two consoles form two brackets along the wall and are connected by the steps in the middle.

There is a tightly closed hatch on the steps, the air flow inside is suspended, and the lift is entirely dependent on the system's autonomous induction. Up the hatch is a dome as bright as a starry sky. Several ripples spread to the heights and finally converge at the center. A unique chandelier illuminates the entire laboratory.

Xiang Ming walked to the operating table in the center, pressed the green button, and a light screen flashed in midair.Xiang Ming entered a series of passwords after entering instructions on the light screen. The screen next to the wall behind him suddenly lit up. The large screen was divided into hundreds of horizontal and vertical lines, like a surveillance screen, and there was a sleeping face in each grid. .As the information of the grid is loaded, a box pops up on the light screen.

Xiang Ming just turned around and entered a long series of numbers in the box. After the system received the command, a box popped up again, and Xiang Ming quickly entered a name.

The light screen locked the No. [-] dormant cabin, and Xiang Ming pressed the confirmation button.Immediately afterwards, the cabin door opened, the data on the screen was loaded, and after the wake-up was displayed successfully, the sound of the machine running sounded.Xiang Ming returned to the center console, and kept inputting data on it. He didn't stop until the people in the cabin door came to him.

"Professor Xiang."

Xiang Ming looked at the person coming, his fluffy silver-white hair was a bit long, his lavender eyes were sharp and deep, his eyes seemed to be always cold, he pursed his lips slightly, the coldness and vigilance emanating from the inside out made people unconscious want to stay away.

Looking at this handsome face, Xiang Ming thought, if the person in front of him didn't wear this military uniform, he would have a life that many people would not envy.

"Shi Ji," Xiang Ming said sincerely, "I'm sorry, it was my selfishness to wake you up."

A trace of confusion flashed quickly in Shi Ji's eyes, and he shook his head.

Xiang Ming didn't explain much, and showed the analysis data on the light screen in front of Shi Ji.

"what is this?"

Shi Ji frowned slightly, watching a series of body analysis data gradually formed. After the body parts were enlarged, the DNA structure appeared, and the last paragraph was marked in red.

"This is the latest data on the performance of your combat body and the state of the mutated DNA," Xiang Ming said after converting the information on the light screen, and then looked a little serious, looking at Shi Ji, "Shi Ji, what's next I will tell you what I have said against my lifelong beliefs, and I hope you will make an informed decision."

Shi Ji looked at Xiang Ming and seemed to disagree: "I don't need you to do this."

"No, I did this to fulfill myself," Xiang Ming said with a smile, and said to Shi Ji, "Look at this, this is the DNA mutation caused by the drug entering the body, the arrangement of this string of nucleic acids The sequence is the root of the matter."

Xiang Ming's voice lingered in Shi Ji's ears, and many scenes of war flashed in front of his eyes. Xiang Ming's voice became farther and farther away, and every word was frozen into ice, hitting his heart.

After the end of the last war, Xiang Ming, Tong Qing and others discovered that the body data of several biochemical humans were abnormal. They used drugs but the body repelled them. They tried many times to correct them and even thought of gene cutting, but they all ended in failure. At that time, it did not cause any damage, and even increased the combat effectiveness of the army. The studio agreed that there was no harm and did not pay much attention.

Until the course of this war, the battle data and physical test data of all biochemicals including Shi Ji showed obvious abnormalities, while the combat power values ​​of the first few who mutated in the battle increased significantly, which concentrated on bloodthirsty and warlike. The body is temporarily out of the control of the brain, the data is falsified, and even the enemy is indistinguishable.

All the relevant scientific research results in the past have proved that this string of nucleic acid sequences mostly appears in relatively ferocious predators. If the human body possesses this gene, it will indeed cause madness and killing addiction.

After the war, Tong Qing, who monitored the war data, immediately compared the remote data of several cyborgs with the personal test data, and found obvious mistakes, which could not be corrected. If this continues, all cyborgs will become bloodthirsty monsters. , and finally counterattacked the army, causing immeasurable mistakes.

As long as the equipment is complete, the combat power of an ordinary biochemical is enough to deal with a platoon of people, and even above the middle level. It is difficult for biochemicals with high combat power like Shi Ji to conquer, not to mention that there are more than a hundred of them in the base now.

These more than a hundred have been carefully screened by the army, and their explosive power is immeasurable. If all these biochemical humans lose their minds, not to mention the army, even the security of a country will be threatened.

"Lieutenant General Chen Xing'an has already reported the specific situation, and Qi Yan's order will probably be issued within two days."

Shi Ji asked: "What will they do?"

Xiang Ming looked at Shi Ji, his eyes didn't dodge at all: "If I were them, I would destroy all possibilities before the tragedy happened. This is the only feasible solution at present."

"Aren't we human life?"

No, you are just a tool for contributing scientific research data, a favorable evidence that biochemical humans are not suitable for the battlefield, and a victim of the progress of human civilization...

Xiang Ming didn't tell Shi Ji about this, his only guilt towards Shi Ji was that he fed him the medicine and pushed him into the operating room step by step to turn him into a biochemical person.

"You know, there are too many involved here... This is the map of the laboratory and the entire military garrison," Xiang Ming transmitted the data to the chip inside Shi Ji's brain through a private channel, "I will Untie all the control and positioning systems of the base for you, as long as you don't check carefully, others will not be able to find it. Shi Ji, I'm sorry."

Shi Ji was slightly taken aback, and looked at Xiang Ming: "I'm a soldier, I can die in battle, but I can't abandon my companions. I'm gone, what will they do, what will you do?"

"Your data is currently the most optimistic, otherwise I wouldn't dare to risk letting you go, but I can't save them, and I won't save them. It's up to you to decide whether to go or stay, but Shiji, I can tell you for sure that even If you don't leave, you won't be able to save them."

When Shi Ji walked back to the dormant cabin, he had to make a decision, whether he wanted to leave or not.

Xiang Ming cut off all the bindings of Shi Ji, erased the data of the base, and revoked the location. After a series of things were done, he opened Shi Ji's communication.

"Shi Ji, I hope you can become an ordinary person and live on."

"Thank you." It took Xiang Ming a while to receive Shi Ji's response. Xiang Ming smiled towards a certain position on the wall, then permanently deleted Shi Ji's communication records, and returned to the studio to stay for a long time.

When Xiang Ming walked out of the experiment center, it was completely dark.

the next day.

"Hey! Xiang Ming, wait a minute."

Xiang Ming turned his head and saw that Tong Qing was holding a lot of documents in his right hand and walking quickly to his side with two steamed buns in his hand: "Do you want to eat?"

"Thank you." Xiang Ming refused with a smile.

Tong Qing didn't care too much, and started to chew on it by herself: "Are you going to the studio or back to the dormitory?"

Xiang Ming thought for a while: "Let's go to the studio. Two days ago, I heard from Xiao Zhuo that a new batch of military weapons is already in transit. If I don't finish my work at this time, I will be busy in two days."

Tong Qing nodded thoughtfully, and he swallowed the food in his mouth.

"What's the matter?" Xiang Ming thought for a while, Tong Qing was usually a chatterbox, and he would never stand alone, but today he was much more silent.

Tong Qing didn't seem to have figured out what to say: "Xiang Ming, you were not here last night, Chen said that the order from above has come down, and the results of the biochemical man's combat research have been officially denied... What do they mean? Destroy this batch of products as soon as possible..."

Xiang Ming's body froze, most of the blood on his face faded, and he could only hum for a while.

"Well, in fact, you don't have to be too sad. The research on biochemical humans is an unknown. I know you have been thinking about this for more than ten years. It is finally applied to the battlefield and can make some contributions to the country. It is a sudden accident here. It must be uncomfortable for you to destroy it and start again. However, we are still young and there are still many opportunities."

Xiang Ming stopped and said to Tong Qing, "Thank you. Although your words didn't comfort me, I accept the result. When are they... planning to act?"

"Well, it may be soon... The higher-ups will send someone to investigate. Our research is not accepted by the public. If it is done, it will be a great man who has contributed to scientific progress. If something goes wrong It is spread that we are the sinners of the entire history of scientific research.”

"You can't talk nonsense." Xiang Ming smiled.

Tong Qing looked at Xiang Ming and smiled and couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth: "It was."

It wasn't until the two entered the studio together that Tong Qing calmed down. Looking at Xiang Ming's appearance, Tong Qing thought he was still sad and worried, but when he got closer, he realized that Xiang Ming was staring at Wen Zhuo's chat interface in a daze.

"Xiang Ming?"

"Huh? Me, I'm going out for a walk."

After Xiang Ming finished speaking, he turned off the communication equipment and walked out.In fact, he didn't know where he was going, but he just wanted to find a place to catch his breath. When the biochemical human battlefield research was completely over, he should also think about going back.

When he returned to the studio again, Tong Qing happened to be notified to let them go to the temporary destruction station at the assembly point to perform temporary tasks. Xiang Ming let Tong Qing and his schoolmates go there because he was unwell.At night, there was a heavy rain. The heavy rain came too suddenly, and the feeling of oppression gathered with the layers of dark clouds.The sound of the siren broke through the night, and everyone was on standby.

The moment Xiang Ming heard the alarm, he rushed out of the studio, just in time to bump into Tong Qing who was rushing to the control room.

"What happened!" Xiang Ming asked.

"Follow me. Just now, when we were performing the task of destroying biochemical humans, the control system suddenly intercepted the operation center. The light screen showed that their chips were unbinding the operating system. Now all the hypnotized biochemical humans began to regain consciousness. When I came over, they were already Someone was injured," Tong Qing barely stopped at this point, and said with a serious face, "Chen is still dealing with it over there, I suspect someone has moved the operating room...Xiang Ming, there must be no accident tonight .”

Knowing the seriousness of the matter, Xiang Ming entered the laboratory with Tong Qing.The central console is on, and the light screen shows that the biochemical man is unbinding and loading, and the other large screen is obviously monitoring the destruction site, but the number of entries today displayed on the laboratory gate screen is zero.Time was running out, and Tong Qing didn't care too much, so he could only stop the unbinding first, and Xiang Ming turned on all the positioning systems, watching the biochemical people on the monitor screen who had hallucinated due to unconscious unbinding, and regarded themselves as enemies Army to deal with.

Xiang Ming noticed that the blood was immediately swallowed up on the biochemical man's skin. He suddenly thought of something, and immediately turned and left.

"Xiang Ming, come back!" Seeing that the person had already run away, Tong Qing felt a strong uneasiness in his heart for some reason, the system sound sounded on the light screen, Tong Qing could only turn his attention back to the light screen.

There were patrolling soldiers outside, watching everyone running in one direction in the heavy rain, Xiang Mingxin rushed into the heavy rain, and ran towards the temporary destruction point of the biochemical humans in the assembly building...
