Chapter 698 Bridge
In the emergency room.
Li Muhan's condition took a turn for the worse.
All the vital organs in his body were bleeding profusely, as if these organs were rejecting this body.
Lan Yun's body was also covered in blood.
She tried every possible way, both physically and through realm abilities.
But they can only delay the bleeding.
Seeing this situation, everyone could only worry.
Just then, a girl came running over hurriedly carrying a medicine box.
"I, I'm coming! I'm coming! Let me help!"
She was petite and pushed everyone aside, almost crawling to the operating table.
"I, I'll help! Teacher Lan Yun!"
"Hua Shang, use your realm, and I will assist you."
Lan Yun asked the nurse beside her to help wipe the sweat off her face, and everyone knew the girl who rushed to the scene.
Director of the Medical Department of the Pingjing City Special Management Bureau and a descendant of the famous doctor Hua Tuo.
At this moment, more and more well-known medical directors who came from special management bureaus in various places gathered in the operating room.
They worked together, but they could only delay the outbreak of Li Muhan's symptoms.
"...This is not a problem that can be solved by medical means."
Lan Yun felt somewhat desperate.
"His body is rejecting these organs, and these organs also want to escape from this body. This is impossible..."
Hua Chang also started crying in anxiety.
At this moment, a man handcuffed by the execution team walked towards the crowd.
"He can't be saved here."
The crowd looked at the person who spoke. Lan Yun was stunned for a moment, and then there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.
Wu Qin looked obviously more aged, his eyes were a little damaged, and he had lost one hand, so his body was extremely hunched.
"Lan Yun, I'm sorry, I..."
Wu Qin wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Lan Yun coldly: "Now is not the time to talk about this. If you have any ideas, please tell me now."
"We can't save him here. Hurry, take him to the Science Council."
"Can we still trust you, Wuqin?" Mo Qiao leaned against the door and said coldly to Wuqin.
"At least I never wanted Li Muhan to die."
"Okay, there's no other way. Quick, move the patient!"
At Chang Yue's command, everyone pushed Li Muhan and Xia Yue to the Science Council.
Li Lingan held a teddy bear in her arms and huddled next to Jin Zhao.
"Sister Jinzhao...Brother, I lost a lot of blood. I hope you're okay..."
At this time, Wu Qin turned around and looked at Li Lingan.
"You have to come too. Only with you can you save your brother."
Jin Chao stood in front of Li Lingan with an expressionless face.
"There's no time to waste. I guarantee it with my life!"
Wu Qin glanced at everyone and shouted angrily, "Chang Yue! Make a decision!"
Chang Yue frowned, then walked over to Li Lingan and squatted down.
"An An, do you want to save your brother?"
"...I think An An loves her brother the most, the most... An An doesn't want anything to happen to her brother, and she doesn't want anything to happen to her sister either..."
"Then...will you come with us to rescue my brother?"
Jin Chao glanced at Chang Yue, who sighed, "I'll also use my life to guarantee that Li Muhan and An An will be safe."
"Okay...I'm going to save my brother! I'm going!"
Li Lingan dropped the teddy bear and ran to Wu Qin.
Wu Qin nodded to Chang Yue.
"Make sure everyone is safe, or I'll hold you accountable."
Chang Yue glared at Wu Qin and gave a death order.
And Wu Qin also understood the importance of this order.
When he returned to the Scientific Council, he put on a white coat and everyone who saw him called him President Wu.
"Prepare the culture dish, draw blood from Li Ling'an, and perform the test. The medical staff will cooperate with the experiment."
Wu Qin directed every process in an orderly manner, appearing very cold, which made the people in the medical department somewhat dissatisfied.
But in the end, Wu Qin said something.
"Remember, this is not an experiment, this is a life-saving operation."
......
Li Chengtian slowly approached the petri dish.
The monster in the petri dish seemed to be very interested in Li Chengtian. It kept stretching out its hands, trying to touch Li Chengtian. Then its hands became longer and longer until they touched the inner wall of the petri dish, and were bounced back by a force similar to electric current.
"...Electrical resistance test, is that what it's for?"
Li Chengtian walked to the petri dish and slowly stretched out his hand, and the monster also stretched out his hand again.
At the moment when the deformed hand and Li Chengtian's hand were about to slowly stick to the inner wall.
"...It's not time yet. Let's stop here."
An old man's voice came from the side.
Li Chengtian retracted his hand and turned to look at the old man.
"I'm the chairman of the Scientific Council of the World United Special Management Bureau. Like you... my last name is Li, Li Zhiqiu."
The old man stretched out his hand toward Li Chengtian.
Li Chengtian slowly looked at the old man's outstretched hand, and then protected the girl behind him.
"I don't intend to pursue this matter." The old man saw Li Chengtian's vigilance and gently put his hands behind his back.
"This experiment is centered around you. Sooner or later, you will come into contact with the core area."
"What exactly do you want to do with the rift, and what is this thing?"
At this moment, Li Muhan didn't pay much attention to the conversation between Li Chengtian and the old man. He stood in front of the petri dish and looked at the monster from a distance. He found that the monster's eyes were fixed on Li Chengtian.
"Li Chengtian, I used to be a member of the Huaxia Special Management Bureau, but later I realized that if we humans are confined to one place, even the vast land of China, we will not be able to broaden our horizons."
The old man put his hands behind his back and slowly walked to the petri dish.
Li Chengtian always kept the girl behind him and looked at the old man vigilantly.
"Five years ago, I left the Chinese Special Management Bureau and traveled extensively. I witnessed the rise of special management bureaus around the world and learned a great deal. But none of that could satisfy me, nor could it satisfy humanity's relentless progress. Until that day, while exploring that bottomless underground chasm, I saw it... I saw that sapling, filled with infinite possibilities."
The old man raised his eyes and looked at the monster in the petri dish.
"I know it has been waiting. It is calling me, hoping that the people of this world can hear its voice. It is the soul of this world, a signal and a warning from this world to mankind."
"...Is its warning due to the rift?"
Li Chengtian asked.
"Yes." The old man nodded.
"Then what's going on with this thing? Why is there a crack here?" Li Chengtian's tone gradually became unfriendly.
"China has fought against the creatures in the rift many times. Only China can do this, but we didn't even realize that... the things that exist in the rift are not just destruction. They can learn, evolve, and integrate. And I... just brought them to this world." The old man looked at the monster with a loving look in his eyes.
"Using my wife's body as a petri dish and my child... as a carrier."
Hearing the old man's words, the girl covered her mouth, her eyes full of fear and surprise.
"...That, that's your... baby, the other side of the umbilical cord..."
The old man closed his eyes silently and nodded.
"Yes, I sent my pregnant wife to the other side of the rift, so that those monsters could learn to imitate everything human. And then... when my child was born, it possessed the power of the rift and the physique of a human. It was the perfect bridge between the two worlds."
"You lunatic!!" The girl yelled at the old man out of control.
"That, that's your child! Your wife! That's not your experimental prop! What have you done?!"
The old man ignored the girl and just looked at Li Chengtian.
"You are the most perfect human being in the world. I need your help to raise this child."
"So, Chang Yue knows all these things, right?"
"No, very few people know about this matter, and it's a top-secret file. The only people who know about it in the Huaxia Special Management Bureau are Director General Lu Shan and Deputy Director Shuo Bai. So Chengtian... are you willing to assist me?"
Li Chengtian clenched his fists and stared at the old man in front of him.
"You never gave me any chance to choose, so this time, tell me what kind of punishment I will receive if I refuse."
The old man laughed dryly twice and patted Li Chengtian's shoulder lightly.
"You have never been punished, Chengtian. You are a star of misfortune. You only bring disaster to those around you, and now..."
His gaze slowly turned to the girl behind Li Chengtian.
"Make your choice."
The girl felt a chill on her spine as the old man stared at her. Li Chengtian's eyes rarely showed anger.
"I will assist you."
"That's right. I'll give you more freedom in the future. As for this..." He glanced at the girl's badge on her chest again: "Ms. Lu Xue, you won't need to get involved in other projects anymore. From today on, you will be a researcher in Laboratory No. 10, responsible for experiments related to Li Chengtian."
"Are you two satisfied with this arrangement?"
Seeing that neither of them spoke, the old man did not stay any longer.
"If you've seen enough, leave now, both of you. No one will be held accountable for what happened today."
The old man turned and left, leaving only Lu Xue, Li Chengtian, and Li Muhan.
"...I'm sorry, I got you into trouble."
Lu Xue gently tugged at Li Chengtian's sleeve.
The man shook his head. "It's just a matter of time. They'll find a way to get me involved in this experiment."
"...But with your strength, you can escape."
Yes, I can run away, but what will my running away bring to you? What will it bring to those I love?
I've already escaped once.
At least this time...
Li Chengtian turned around and gently hugged the girl, as if to make up for what he had failed to do on that stormy night.
"...I won't leave this time."
