Chapter 27 Regression

It was already night when we returned to the stone hut of the ice picker.

The sound of frying came from the room, and Shen Yizhen immediately smelled the aroma of food.He was so hungry that he was still in the Second District Hospital in the morning, and arrived at the South Pole in the afternoon. He drove the aircraft for more than an hour and climbed the mountain for several hours.Now he can eat canned salted fish even if he is given it.

The milk tea made by General Xiao himself was placed in his hand: "The tea powder here is very thick, but the water is good. The water used to make tea is the leftover natural ice melted from the sale. It is clear and sweet. They are frying Buns, a special dish in the polar circle. There is nothing to eat here all year round. Buns are easy to store, with meat and starch, and the taste does not change much after being fried in an insulated box for a day. I asked them to go down the mountain to change the dough Come back, I will make you noodles tomorrow morning."

Shen Yizhen was embarrassed holding the cup: "Don't rush around, sit down for a while."

Xiaoshan made two phone calls and came back: "I told them to go back tomorrow morning. The results of the genetic comparison came out. Alice and the child who died in the explosion were indeed related by blood. I asked them to do the comparison again. If the result is the same twice, there is no doubt about it.”

This result was not unexpected, Shen Yizhen was only worried about Alice: "Is the girl okay? Don't let her know about the genetic comparison."

"I've confessed, I won't leak my words. I don't want to cause this trouble."

"If she knows that the two of us sneaked out to play, she will definitely lose her temper."

Xiao Shan shook the dust off his boots: "Are you still worried that she won't play by herself? She wishes no one would care about her."

Shen Yizhen pouted: "I don't want anyone to think about it? Someone must think about these things."

"You have a strong sense of responsibility, but the sense of responsibility also depends on what you are doing." Xiaoshan put his feet on the table: "I think you kind of regard the girl's life as your own responsibility, so it's unnecessary, her She is responsible for her own life, if not, hand it over to the country before the age of 18, you can’t afford this responsibility, and you don’t have this obligation.”

Shen Yizhen knew that what he said was right.He moved his eyes to the stove, hesitantly not knowing what to say.

After a while, he asked: "You said, why does she have the memory of twin sisters? Has this happened before?"

This was his main concern at the moment.He felt horrified at the thought of this question.Why does one person have another person's memory?Did someone brainwash her?Or tell her another person's experience and let her act like that person?That was too similar, she never made a mistake, let alone revealed a word to Shen Yizhen and Xiaoshan.

To be honest, Shen Yizhen felt that it was not like acting, but more like being completely brainwashed.Alice fully identified herself as the child of a working couple in District [-], and she believed she was that person.

But do humans have this technology?Can a person be completely brainwashed into another person, can the current scientific methods already do it?Even if it could be done, wouldn't it be illegal?Are those ethical regulations of the Biological Research Act just for show?How can you brainwash people casually?

Shen Yizhen said: "Don't you think this whole thing is weird? Replacing one girl with another girl, and then packaging it with a false disaster, it becomes a propaganda weapon. It is completely against humanity and reality. , if it is exposed, the self-esteem of every citizen will be hurt. How can human beings do such a thing?"

Xiaoshan replied casually: "Mankind has done more and worse things."

It is agreed that we will not talk about work when we come out to travel, but we still have to talk about it.

Shen Yizhen may not be willing to say that it is a job. Alice is the meat in the hearts of the two adults, and he does not regard Alice as a job.

After washing up at night, Shen Yizhen saw the double bed in the bedroom, and her head exploded, forgetting about children, war, and work all at once.He stood in front of the bed like a stone pillar, not daring to move, neither to walk nor to leave.

Xiaoshan also looked at the bed, and hugged him from behind: "I have to go on a journey again tomorrow, let's go to bed early."

Shen Yizhen faltered for a long time: "I'm not ready yet. Tonight...forget it?"

Xiaoshan knew that he was thinking wrong, and teased him deliberately: "After all, the child is not here, it's just the two of us."

"But..." Secretary Shen really panicked: "I really...I can't..."

Xiaoshan had a hard time holding back his laughter: "Are you a man, saying you can't do it?"

"Next time, okay?"

"You still don't want me."

"No, I'm afraid..."

"fear me?"

Shen Yizhen lowered her voice very low: "I'm afraid...it hurts."

Xiaoshan couldn't help coaxing him: "One more kiss, and I'll let you go tonight."

Shen Yizhen's face was so red that it couldn't be any redder.He stretched his neck carefully to reach Xiaoshan's lips. They both had just washed, and the sweet aroma of the ice water of Malapat Mountain remained in their mouths.They kiss like the sun kisses the moon, the wind kisses the clouds, and the mountains kiss the springs.Shen Yizhen was overwhelmed, overwhelmed by too much enthusiasm, almost limp in Xiaoshan's arms.

Xiao Shan backed away slightly, and praised his kissing skills: "It seems a pity to let you go."

"You are a general, you can't keep your word." Shen Yizhen stared.

Xiaoshan had no choice but to let him go, not forgetting to wipe his ass: "I'll go find them to get an extra mattress."

Shen Yizhen snickered behind his back, her heart was sweet.Xiaoshan can endure for him, which is unexpected to him.

Who would have thought?Just two months ago, Shen Yizhen would be terrified just thinking about this person, so terrified that she wished she could get into a crack in the ground and not see him.But now they live, work, and travel together, and Xiaoshan takes him by the hand, walking on the mountains of the Antarctic Circle, toward the never-setting sun, on a path that only the two of them can walk.

The next morning, Shen Yizhen went to bed late and couldn't think of it. General Xiao threatened to change his clothes himself, so he pulled the slob out of the bed.

The two dawdled until ten o'clock before setting off to walk back.I answered a lot of calls along the way, all of which were Alice's business.The results of the gene comparison were verified a second time, and the result was still the same.This is indeed a pair of twin sisters.

Xiaoshan called the military headquarters again and asked about the explosion in a roundabout way, but the other party hesitated for a long time and didn't say which army carried out the airdrop operation.General Xiao was still connected to the phone and scolded at the other party: "Nonsense! There are more than 2000 people in the **** information technology unit. You don't know which unit is fighting with you on the opposite side? You are fooling the ghost! I thought it was a wilderness hundreds of years ago battle?"

The implication is that there is indeed no evidence to support the so-called airdrop.

Shen Yizhen originally wanted to sleep for a while on the road, but she didn't feel sleepy at all after answering the phone call, her expression was serious.

"Do you want to report this situation to the commander-in-chief?" he asked.

It must be said, it is just a matter of how to say it.

Xiaoshan has to think about it.

Shen Yizhen was worried about him: "According to the director of the first aid department, the child was not saved because he reported to the commander-in-chief, and they sent the child to the funeral department according to the commander-in-chief's order. That is to say, Feng Jiling was in trouble from the beginning to the end." Knowing that these two children are different, he didn't tell you, so he didn't want you to know? Now that you have found out by yourself, will it be dangerous? "

"You think too seriously," Xiaoshan shook his head: "He was the one who reminded me to update the girl's ID card, you forgot?"

"Then what can't be said directly?"

"For one thing, it's the first time I've taken on this kind of task. If I'm not willing to do it or I'm not suitable for it, he'll just tell me so much in vain. If he doesn't say anything, it won't hinder my work. Things will be much easier. Secondly, he said in person that he changed the man-made fake to leave someone with a handle. The old fox surnamed Feng is cautious and suspicious. This is too big a handle. He has to guard against being bitten by the people around him. Anyway, I will find out sooner or later. There's no need to know it from him."

Shen Yizhen let go of her heart: "Then what else do you want?"

"I want to take this opportunity to ask him what he means next." Xiaoshan held the steering wheel with one hand and lit a cigarette with the other: "Alice will definitely not always appear in the public's sight. It's going to pass. The country can't control her for a lifetime, so since everyone is going to talk about it, it's best to set the tone for her future."

Shen Yizhen frowned, he didn't like this kind of statement.

Why should one's future be set?

Xiaoshan knew what he was thinking: "Don't reject it, her future is definitely not her own decision, you have to accept this. Her life is no longer her own, so how she will live in the future, Feng Jiling is sure Have an idea."

"I just hope she can be an ordinary person in the future."

"I thought so at first, but now the issue is more complicated than we thought."

Shen Yizhen didn't understand what he meant.

Xiaoshan reminded him patiently: "Baby, he is an earth species. Don't you understand? In terms of biological law, she is now a special case in the human gene pool. Yes, human beings used to be earth species, but now humans All of them have become moon species, and the human gene pool and biological laws are also formulated according to the moon species. She is an illegally born life, what do you mean? It is as if you artificially create a life by illegal cloning or gene editing How dare you put this kind of life into an ordinary person and let her develop? Who knows what kind of genetically mutated life she and ordinary moon species will breed? This is 'messing up' the human gene pool."

Shen Yizhen disagreed: "She is not a genetic mutation, she is the most ordinary and primitive human being."

Xiaoshan asked back: "You think so, what do you think others think? The biological law is here, the ethics regulations are here, she is an anomaly."

Shen Yizhen took a breath.

He understood what Xiaoshan said.Alice's genes are already different from those of the moon species. It is normal for the people not to accept her.She is now the "Dolly" sheep, an unnatural and illegal life beyond the ethical range acceptable to human beings.In order not to interfere with the normal development of the human gene pool, she must be controlled.

But what did this kid do wrong?Could she have chosen her own birth?What did she do wrong to be controlled, criticized, and put on the huge hat of "polluting human genes"?She is only ten years old, how can she pollute human genes?

Shen Yizhen had a very bad premonition.Feng Jiling doesn't feel sorry for the children. To the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces, Alice, like Xiaoshan and An, is just a pawn.The pieces are no longer needed and can be discarded at any time.Isn't Jiang Pei the best proof?

Alice is still useful now, but on the day she is useless, or when she has a problem that hinders the command post, Feng Jiling will not hesitate to abandon her.At that time, she might not be as lucky as Jiang Pei, and she could just "resign" and get things done.When necessary, Feng Jiling would not take pity on this life.

Hurrying in the mood of worry, the return journey seemed very short, and we arrived in no time.Before Shen Yizhen could sort out the thoughts in his head, he could already see the magnificent building of the command post.

"Go back to the office and get the documents. I asked them to send all the hospital reports back to the office. I'll go find Feng Jiling, wait for me to come back and let's go home together." Xiaoshan jumped out of the car and waved to him.

He went directly to the United Front Work Department on the 47th floor, and the front desk didn't dare to stop him when they saw him coming.Just say the commander is in a meeting.

Xiaoshan waited on the reception sofa for half an hour, Feng Jiling came out of the meeting room, and he directly stopped him.

"Well cultivated." Feng Jiling was very happy to see him: "Is your shoulder okay?"

Xiaoshan smiled and said, "I think the artificial bone is stronger than the natural one. It's light and strong. It's no problem to carry the child around."

Feng Jiling smiled brightly: "It's good if you have this attitude."

They go into the office.Xiaoshan is not restrained, he just finds a seat to sit.When he followed Feng Jiling in the fourth district, Feng Jiling even allowed him to carry a gun in his military tent.This is a very tolerant attitude, and there are ten fingers in the entire coalition that can receive this kind of treatment.It's a pity that not many people know about this matter, otherwise there would be no outsiders rumoring that Xiaoshan is flattering dog legs.

"What's the matter? Tell me." Feng Jiling knew he wouldn't just come to say hello.

Xiaoshan got straight to the point: "The child's identity certificate has been updated. I have already found out about her and the child who did not survive through the Second District Hospital. Because this matter is very important, please give me instructions on what to do next."

He said it openly, without any cover-up.He also expressed his attitude to obey Feng Jiling's instructions. Feng Jiling was very satisfied: "I haven't made up my mind on this matter, so I didn't tell you. What do you think?"

Xiaoshan said cautiously: "I think the child is still innocent."

Feng Jiling smiled: "You, speaking of it, you have never been a father, so it's no wonder you love your child so much."

Xiao Shan frowned, feeling uncomfortable in his stomach.

Feng Jiling said: "The existence of this child itself is a mistake, Ah Shan, this is retrogression, do you understand?" He said earnestly: "Humanity has decided to move forward. The great progress of relocating to the planet is something that any species can do. Did you get it? No matter what sufferings humans have suffered, we are the result of evolution today. This child, the gene she represents is a retrogression. If her genes are allowed to flow into the gene pool of the moon species, do you think it is beneficial to human beings? Is it a good thing?"

Xiao Shan's hairs were standing on end, but his face remained motionless: "You're right."

"You have to look at the big picture, Ah Shan." Feng Jiling said, "This child can't stay for too long. After this hot air period is over, I will have someone properly dispose of her. You have to be prepared in your heart. There must be an explanation, and we will discuss it later.”

Xiaoshan closed his eyes.

This means that Alice can't live.
