Chapter 33 167 Tombstone Genetic Modification Fluid
The year is 2028, and this is a parallel universe where medical technology is developing rapidly.
It was a barren mountain called Tuliang, and a helicopter slowly landed in a relatively flat area.
After a while, a dignified old lady in her eighties was carefully helped down. Behind her were several soldiers, and their posture showed that they were obviously protecting the old lady.
"Academician Wen, please slow down." The nanny carefully helped her forward.
The old lady seemed to have some difficulty walking, but she still insisted on walking step by step.
After standing still, the nanny followed her gaze.
I saw that on this barren mountain before me, there were about a hundred tombstones standing upright, some close together, some farther apart. If you looked closely, you would have the feeling that the whole mountain was filled with tombstones.
These tombstones seem to have been standing here for some time.
Some tombstones seemed to have been visited by someone. There were no weeds in front of the tombstones, and there were flowers. The words on the tombstones seemed to have been repainted and looked very new. But in some of them, the weeds were even taller than the tombstones, looking very desolate and lonely.
Thinking of the reason why these tombstones were erected here, the nanny sighed slightly in her heart.
Soon, the nanny helped the old lady stand in front of three tombstones. Three names were engraved on the tombstones: Wei Chengxi, Xia Ning, and Wei Yu'an.
The nanny slowly backed away, seemingly unwilling to disturb.
The old lady stepped forward, and her wrinkled, old, and thin hand gently stroked the names on the tombstone one by one. It seemed as if she was not stroking the cold tombstone, but her own child.
Those were indeed her children, a family of three: her son, daughter-in-law, and grandson.
Tears silently rolled down from the corners of her eyes, and the old woman's voice was choked with sobs, "Chengxi, An Ning, Mom is here, An An, Grandma is here to see you, how are you guys doing over there?"
The old man's sadness also infected the people around him, and their eyes all fell on the hundred or so tombstones.
If you count carefully, you will find that there are 167 tombstones and 167 names on them.
Those were the casualties from the plane crash in Xicheng 10 years ago. Among them were young people, old people, and children...
No one survived.
At that time, Academician Wen’s only son and his family of three were on that plane.
Academician Wen is an important academician of the National Institute of Medical Research. Over the years, he has developed countless medical research projects.
Especially after her husband passed away, she devoted all her heart to scientific research.
Academician Wen had only one son, Wei Chengxi, who was born when he was almost forty years old. Wei Chengxi had average talent in scientific research, but was quite accomplished in music.
Academician Wen also doted on him and allowed him to study music abroad.
Later, when Wei Chengxi was in his thirties, he got married and had children. Academician Wen was so happy.
They remember it very clearly 10 years ago. It was November 17th. On that day, Mr. Wei said he would bring his wife and children back by plane.
Because the 19th is Academician Wen’s birthday, they want to come and celebrate her birthday.
Academician Wen has been looking forward to it since the day he found out.
But what they got was the news that Xicheng's plane crashed in Tuliangshan on the evening of the 17th.
All 167 people on board, including crew members, were killed.
The moment he heard the news, Academician Wen fainted. Even though he was rescued later, he was seriously ill.
It seems that from then on, Academician Wen's originally healthy health gradually deteriorated.
Now, 10 years have passed since that incident.
Only those around Academician Wen know how the old lady managed to survive these 10 years. If it weren't for the scientific research projects at hand, she might have passed away along with her son and his family of three.
Since last year, Academician Wen has been hospitalized several times, and the doctor said that her body could not hold on any longer.
This year may be the last time that Academician Wen comes to Tuliangshan.
The desolate Tuliang Mountain seemed to be covered with only vegetation and tombstones. Apart from them, no one else could be seen. However, the entire mountain was also filled with people.
The wind blew gently, caressing the old man's gray hair and the tears flowing down his wrinkled face, as if someone was silently responding to something.
The old lady slowly took out her cell phone.
In a place where the nanny and others could not see, light flashed on the mobile phone screen, reflecting the words "Future Entrustment APP".
If possible, she hoped Cheng Xi and An Ning could survive, and she hoped her little grandson could throw himself into her arms and call her grandma affectionately.
If possible, she hopes that all the tombstones scattered all over the mountains will disappear. She hopes that every living person can come back to life, and she hopes that the broken families behind them can be reunited.
That way, she would be willing to do whatever it cost her.
As night fell, the old lady looked up at the starry sky, as if she was gazing back to 10 years ago through the stars.
At this time, in the year 2018, in Shaxi Village, it was night.
Song Zhining was sitting in front of the window in her room, looking at the bright starry sky outside while checking the new commission on her phone.
[Time: 15:34, November 16, 2028
Client: Wen Congyun
Commission: On November 17, 2018, at 8:35 PM, the Xicheng plane will crash in Tuliangshan. There will be no survivors for the 167 people on board. If possible, please prevent the crash and save my son and his family of three, as well as the countless families shattered in the aftermath.
When Song Zhining saw this commission, she was terrified.
She was actually entrusted with preventing the plane from crashing.
It's a plane crash.
Song Zhining had seen news about plane crashes before, and basically every time there was a plane crash, there were almost no survivors.
Behind that, it also represents countless broken families.
Every air crash attracts national attention and sadness.
And now, another plane crash is coming, just two days later on the 17th.
With so many lives involved, Song Zhining couldn't treat this as an ordinary commission.
No matter what, she had to find a way to stop the plane from taking off.
Song Zhining carefully read the details of the commission again, anger appeared between her brows and her lips were tightly pursed. Who would have thought that the plane crash that took away so many lives was caused by that small thing and the selfishness of some people.
After a while, Song Zhining's anger gradually subsided.
Only then did she feel like checking the deposit.
When Song Zhining saw what the deposit was, his eyes lit up and he was ecstatic.
[Gene Modification Fluid: Function 1: Repairs injuries and illnesses throughout the body, strengthening the body and prolonging life. Function 2: Randomly mutates a specific part of the gene, enhancing it by 50-200 percent, without any side effects.]
[Ding, the deposit reward has been sent to the webmaster's bag, please check it. ]
Song Zhining took out her bag and quickly took out a tube of transparent liquid with a hint of light blue. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't see the light blue color.
Song Zhining looked at the instructions of the genetic modification fluid again. This tube contained 100ml.
Just 10ml is enough to transform a person and can be added to water or other food.
"This tube contains 100ml. Doesn't that mean it can modify the genes of 10 people?" Song Zhining's breathing became slightly rapid.
"Could this app be conscious? It knows what I need and gives me rewards accordingly?" Song Zhining murmured.
