Magical day
Although she had guessed the result a long time ago, she was still distracted for a second when Ashin came out.
The bottom of her eyes were dark, and her eyes looked a bit like the artificial people developed by Chen Guanghai and his team. Even if she was not Tang Xiaoyan, seeing a normal person being tortured like this made her heart stagnate.
Her fingernails dug into her palm, and the pain made her wake up a little.
"Give me the person and I'll give you the reagent."
Chen Guanghai was silent for a moment, as if communicating with the sacred tree inside. When Jiang Lin almost thought he had failed, he spoke: "Okay."
Wen Yan glanced at Jiang Lin, with obvious worry in his eyes. He felt that they were up to something bad since they let him go so easily.
Jiang Lin threw the diluted reagent over, and Chen Guanghai immediately rushed over to catch it, fearing that the reagent would fall to the ground and break.
At the same time, Ashin walked towards them slowly.
Chen Guanghai and his monster minions retreated back to the experimental base. Ashin took every step very slowly, like a programmed robot.
"His brain damage is probably severe and irreversible." Seeing this situation, Wen Yan knew very clearly that this person was beyond help.
However, when Ashin really walked up to them, he quickly tied him up so that he couldn't move: "It's better to be safe than sorry." After saying that, he carried Ashin on his shoulders and walked towards the armored vehicle.
The remaining four people had already set up a simple artillery launcher while they were negotiating with Chen Guanghai.
Wen Yan squatted down and set the time: "Prepare to leave. It will automatically launch to the experimental base in about ten minutes."
The six of them quickly boarded the car and fastened their seatbelts. Ashin was placed in the back seat, strapped in. Tang Xiaoyan checked his vital signs.
Ashin was like a puppet, letting her do whatever she wanted without any reaction.
Everyone in the car was silent.
"Are we about to face a new monster?" Someone asked, and the atmosphere became even more depressing.
They have all seen the regenerative abilities of these monsters. A bomb cannot destroy them at all. It can only delay the development of these abnormal plants to the maximum extent.
"It is polluting and exploiting humans. We can also research new drugs to resist this pollution. We are not at the end of the road yet." Tang Xiaoyan spoke. Jiang Lin could not see her emotions clearly, but he felt that there was a bit of unknown madness in her calmness.
"Are you okay?" Jiang Lin asked softly.
Sheng Wei beside him pricked up his ears imperceptibly, and the cold air from Tang Xiaoyan was about to overflow.
"I'm fine." There was no emotion in Tang Xiaoyan's voice, but Sheng Wei trembled inexplicably.
Wen Yan turned around when he heard their noise and gave Jiang Lin a soothing look.
They arrived at the base in silence all the way. Jiang Lin keenly noticed that the styles of the helmets of the people standing guard and patrolling outside the city had changed a little, and seemed to be more enveloping.
Ashin's future became a problem. Tang Xiaoyan insisted on taking him back to her residence, but Cui Yawen rejected the suggestion without even thinking about it.
"Until his level of danger is clarified, I will only allow him to stay in the isolation ward of the hospital where you work."
Tang Xiaoyan thought about it and didn't refuse. After all, she had been staying in the hospital for a long time, so she could just stay home. "I agree, but you have to allow me to stay with him for a long time. I need to learn from him how the sacred tree is parasitic."
Cui Yawen glanced at her and asked, "Are you going to use him for experiments?"
Tang Xiaoyan's eyes were a little conflicted, and she nodded heavily. Her hand touched Ashin's pale cheek, as if she was making some decision.
No one expected that Ashin, who was in a daze, would actually speak: "Yes, Xiaoyan, yes."
Hearing Ashin's slow and obscure voice, she finally couldn't help it and lay on Ashin, crying silently.
At Jiang Lin's signal, Xu Anan led them out of the office.
Cui Yawen looked at Wen Yan and Jiang Lin in front of her who didn't know how to start the conversation, and had a bad feeling.
"Tell me, I can accept it." Cui Yawen smiled bitterly.
Wen Yan took out a small box from his backpack and handed it to Cui Yawen: "His ashes."
Cui Yawen took the box, but her mood obviously did not change. She stared at Jiang Lin and Wen Yan with her eyes open, and did not make a sound for a long time.
Jiang Lin only saw her hands shaking constantly.
Wen Yan: "I'm sorry."
Cui Yawen seemed to have just come back to her senses: "I don't blame you. If this is his ending, maybe I'm the only one to blame. You guys go and have a good rest."
Jiang Lin and Wen Yan quietly left the office, leaving Cui Yawen alone in the office.
She looked at the small box, but ultimately didn't have the courage to open it.
"I was wrong. I shouldn't have named you Congyu. Sometimes doing what you want is not a good thing." She hadn't looked obviously older in the three years since the end of the world, but suddenly she seemed to have lost all her energy.
The dim autumn sunlight shone on her hair, which was already a little gray on top.
After a long time, Cui Yawen moved. She walked towards a room in the experimental department where the artificial human 03 created by Shen Congyu and Chen Guanghai was imprisoned. His body was fused with Shen Congyu's genes.
Cui Yawen looked through the iron door with a window at the somewhat similar face inside, her lips trembling slightly.
"Minister." The instructor next to her saw her coming and greeted her.
Cui Yawen nodded. She hired an instructor to teach this artificial human some social common sense. Perhaps because of his good genes, he learned quite quickly.
She named this artificial person Keji, Cui Keji.
Coming out of Cui Yawen's office, Jiang Lin's mood was obviously depressed. Shen Congyu could not be considered a good person, but she was still affected to some extent.
"Don't be sad, everyone has to look forward. Death in the end times has become commonplace, we can only look forward." Although Wen Yan said this, his eyes were full of bloodshot.
After returning home, Jiang Lin took a look at his greenhouse. The strawberry plants he cultivated for Xu Anan in it had grown into seedlings. It seemed that he could take them to the Planting Research Institute tomorrow.
So many things have happened in the past few days that Jiang Lin felt a little lost for a moment. They seemed to be groping in the dark, unable to see the way forward, yet unwilling to stop and allow themselves to fall into the abyss.
Jiang Lin rarely slept well. The next day, he showed up at the Planting Research Institute with dark circles under his eyes. Xu Anan was surprised: "This is the first time I see you look so listless."
Jiang Lin ignored her and took out strawberry seedlings from behind.
"What is this?" Xu Anan had never seen what strawberries looked like before, and for a moment she forgot that she had asked Jiang Lin to plant a few strawberry plants for her.
"You forgot your strawberry seeds." Jiang Lin looked at the heartless girl with a bit of amusement.
Xu Anan's eyes widened as she took the plant from Jiang Lin in disbelief: "This is my strawberry!"
"I love you so much!" Xu Anan hugged Jiang Lin and kissed her hard on the face.
Jiang Lin wiped her face in disgust. What kind of habit of expressing gratitude was this? "Don't kiss me in the future!" Although she said so, she felt that this feeling was not bad. This was the first time that someone expressed his love for her so directly.
"Oh my, I will definitely follow your lead from now on, Director Jiang." Xu Anan chose a location with the best sunlight for the strawberry plants and would check on them every few minutes.
"When do you think it will grow strawberries?" After Jiang Lin heard this question for the 10,086th time, she finally couldn't bear it anymore and walked out of the office.
There was a familiar figure next to the glass planting experimental field she planned in the center.
Subject 01?
How was he released? Seeing Jiang Lin's somewhat shocked look, the experimenter next to him smiled a little embarrassedly.
"When you were away, we found that he was very hardworking. He would do whatever he was asked to do on time every day, so we felt that he was very suitable for taking care of plants."
Jiang Lin: "He is a man-made man."
"I know, Director, you can't discriminate against androids."
Jiang Lin reflected on herself for a second. Something was not right. This artificial person wanted to kill her a few days ago. How could such a dangerous person be transformed into a hardworking farmer by her colleagues?
She looked at Android 01, who had a comfortable expression and was happily annotating plants. This world was still too crazy.
"So don't call him an artificial human anymore. We gave him a very resounding name, Jiang Jianong. It's still your last name after all." Seeing the experimenter's expression as if he was about to praise me, Jiang Lin forced a smile with difficulty. Thank you so much.
But experimenter 01, no, it should be called Jiang Jianong, does seem to have become much more socialized. After Jiang Lin asked the experimenter to pay attention to safety, he simply left it alone. After all, nothing happened during the many days he was away, so he just assumed that he was not dangerous for the time being.
"Jiang Lin, come to the hospital." A message from Tang Xiaoyan was received on the smart brain.
Jiang Lin didn't think too much and said a word to Xu Anan before going out. Anyway, she was a free person in the research institute, and her daily task was to provide reagents and absorption batteries to this group of experimenters.
When I arrived at the hospital, I saw many familiar faces, including Wen Yan, Gu Yuzhi and Cui Yawen.
Ashin was lying in the medical cabin and was not in good condition. His body was obviously shriveled, like a dying person.
"His health has been deteriorating since he came back. I doubt they can leave Shenmu for long." There was obvious worry in Tang Xiaoyan's voice.
The medical cabin obviously couldn't do anything for the mutated Ashin.
Jiang Lin thought of his own planting research institute. What would those experimenters do? They might plant Ah Xin in the soil.
Jiang Lin was shocked by her own idea, but she also felt that it was not impossible. She seemed to have made some kind of decision and spoke with some difficulty: "I say, why don't we try putting it on the soil and watering it."
The other few people actually thought seriously about the feasibility of this problem and immediately decided to take Ah Xin to Jiang Lin's planting research institute.
By the time the experimenters placed Ashin in the planting trough and watered him with some nutrient solution, Jiang Lin still hadn't reacted.
"It seems to be really working." Tang Xiaoyan was the first person to notice the difference. Ashin's body didn't seem so shriveled anymore, and the vines filling his body seemed to have come back to life.
"Sorry to trouble you, Jiang Lin. I may have to let Ashin stay here for a while until we find a better solution." Ashin, lying in the soil, had a peaceful expression on his face.
So her research institute not only grows plants, but also raises artificial humans, and now she has even grown a human?
The researchers around him looked calm and composed. "Don't worry, we'll take good care of him."
Jiang Lin deeply doubted whether they saw no difference in anything that could be grown.
By the way, a research office was vacated for Tang Xiaoyan to facilitate her experiments and take care of Ah Xin.
The magical day was ended by a girl who suddenly broke in. She rushed straight to Cui Yawen and was about to attack her.
But she was quickly restrained by the security guard: "Cui Yawen, you deserve to die!"
