26 Gene Drugs
◎She couldn't wait to try out the body she had spent 1.5 million on◎
Zhu Ning was able to fight with the merman before because the merman's body was not covered with fish scales, and his body was that of a human.
Moreover, Zhu Ning was wearing work clothes at the time, and the inflated state helped her resist many attacks.
But the white-haired female mechanical warrior in front of him was 80% mechanized and could even break an iron pillar with one hand, while Zhu Ning's body had not yet been baptized by any genetic drugs.
If this were really a competition, Zhu Ning would have wanted to yell, "Referee! The other team is cheating!"
Unfortunately, this is a wasteland world, and the human composition is all kinds of strange. This girl is just an ordinary human who chose mechanization, an ordinary strong and soft girl.
The audience was stunned, and some people immediately noticed the clue.
"She, she didn't inject the genetic drug?"
This was incredible. Every employee at the cleaning center, including Li Nianchuan, had received genetic injections. They'd earned their first fortunes by injecting themselves with these injections, because their line of work required a physique of steel.
If he used his original human body, it would probably be ruined after two missions. In their eyes, Zhu Ning was like running naked, going into the battlefield without any equipment.
For a moment they didn't know whether they should say Zhu Ning was courageous. After all, such an honest person was rare.
The audience's focus was not on Zhu Ning being knocked down by a punch, but on his admirable courage.
The other side is 80% mechanized! This is the true spirit of human competitive sports! Everyone was discussing and surprised, and even the combat teacher didn't react.
Zhu Ning lying on the ground: "..."
"Is there anyone who cares about me?" Zhu Ning asked. No one cared about her and she called the police for help.
Li Nianchuan finally reacted: "I've contacted the medical department. Don't move."
Zhu Ning gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you."
Li Nianchuan: "..."
Why did he hear resentment in these words?
…
Zhu Ning entered the medical cabin of the medical department.
The situation was worse than she thought. She almost broke her spine. If her spine was really broken, she would either be paralyzed in the next life or have to undergo major surgery.
She received a powerful injection of healing agent and then entered the medical cabin for half an hour of radiation.
The doctor in the medical department, surnamed Fu, grinned as he reviewed Zhu Ning's data. Zhu Ning felt this doctor was a bit of a creep, grinning like a fool while looking at his own scans.
Dr. Fu has worked in the medical department for many years, and he hasn't seen such a pristine shoulder blade for a long time. This is also the shoulder blade of a celebrity on the forum these days.
After seeing Zhu Ning, Dr. Fu put down the film, pushed his glasses, and put on a steady expression again.
Zhu Ning: Stop pretending, I see you are smiling.
Doctor Fu said, "Don't worry, regular employees are exempt from medical expenses."
Oh, at least there is good news.
Zhu Ning stretched his arm. Thanks to the powerful healing agent, his body was no longer in sync. Advanced technology was a blessing; a broken bone could be restored to its original state in half an hour.
Doctor Fu asked, "You've never had any genetic medicine injected?"
Zhu Ning nodded. Fang Ying had told her before that she could get the injection, but she was busy investigating the truth behind her death.
Later, I was called in for training, and I could only take advantage of the free time to search for some knowledge related to genetic drugs. The injection of genetic drugs is very painful, and there are some unknown side effects.
The research and development of genetic drugs was relatively mature, but there was still much room for improvement. As for the information Xu Meng had given her, she hadn't had time to read it yet.
Doctor Fu: "Do you want an injection? The medical department has it. I see that your data meets the requirements."
Zhu Ning: "I don't understand it very well."
Doctor Fu thought he was indeed a newbie and explained, "There are many kinds of genetic drugs. To put it simply, they can modify whatever you don't like. Some can make you prettier and whiter, others taller and stronger. Of course, there are also things like you who transform yourself into a weapon."
It sounds very convenient. You don’t even need to undergo surgery for plastic surgery. You can inject edited genetic drugs and accurately modify your facial features.
My mother no longer has to worry about me not growing taller. As long as I have money, I can grow as tall as I want.
Zhu Ning suddenly understood why natural persons were first-class citizens. As long as one had money, one could improve his genes. With mass production of humans, beauty and strength were actually depreciating. At this time, a "natural face" was more valuable.
Doctor Fu: "If you need an injection, the Clean Center Medical Department is actually your best choice. We share resources with the First Federal Medical College, so we're usually the first to know about any advanced technology. In other words, we're definitely more advanced than other hospitals."
Doctor Fu's words dispelled Zhu Ning's idea of getting the injection outside.
"We have a lot of experience here. As you know, we have more guinea pigs, so the solution we offer you is more suitable for you. After all, your profession is special."
Zhu Ning: “…”
Doctor, you really are like a salesman, you know that?
Doctor Fu: "A course of six injections will gradually enhance your various functions, including your cardiopulmonary function, bone density, and skin firmness. To put it simply, you will become more like a steel warrior."
In the wasteland world, in order to fight against pollutants, humans have internalized their armor from armor to bones, directly increasing the hardness of bones and making human bones comparable to steel.
At the same time, cardiopulmonary function will be enhanced, and organs will be synchronized, and humans will achieve "evolution" in another sense.
Doctor Fu: "It took effect immediately after the injection."
He can go to the battlefield right after coming off the operating table. How efficient.
"Do you want to give me a shot?" asked Doctor Fu.
Zhu Ning: "Hit."
She discovered that if everyone is evolving, you are degenerating if you stay where you are.
She must have a stronger body to talk about the next things. She may face B-level tasks, A-level tasks, or even S-level tasks in the future.
Moreover, the people in the cleaning center are extremely inward-looking, and many of them choose to use mechanical prostheses directly. If everyone is so competitive, Zhu Ning will easily be crushed into pieces if he doesn't move.
As soon as Zhu Ning finished speaking, Doctor Fu's eyes lit up, and he stood up and shouted, "Wang Zhu! Prepare the genetic medicine, it's time to live."
Zhu Ning: “…”
She looked up and saw that the sign outside said "Medical Department". Could she have entered a shady shop?
Zhu Ning postponed all her subsequent training, and Xu Meng personally approved her leave. She received a genetic injection that same day, which didn't require surgery, just a targeted injection.
Zhu Ning lay in the medical cabin.
…
After the injection, Dr. Fu told her she could come down. Zhu Ning sat on the edge of the medical cabin, still in a daze.
She didn't feel anything. Didn't the internet say it was painful? She didn't feel any pain at all.
Was she sure that the drug she had been injected with was a genetic drug, not saline? She wasn't being tricked.
When Zhu Ning looked up, he suddenly felt that things around him had changed.
There was a window directly opposite her, and when she looked up, she suddenly saw a scene a kilometer away: a man had just dropped his ice cream cone. He looked in pain, trying to pick it up but couldn't get past his own barrier.
brush--
Zhu Ning blinked. What was that? How could she see so far?
At the same time, her hearing became stronger, and the world was noisier than before. She could hear two doctors chatting three corridors away, saying that they had not had time to take their annual leave this year.
boom--
The doctors' chatter poured into my left ear and into my right ear, and a huge amount of sound poured into my mind like sea water.
Zhu Ning covered his ears and suddenly heard his own heartbeat.
Bang, bang, bang—
Her heart was suddenly contracting, and she could even feel the rise and fall of her heart. Blood was flowing in her veins.
In short, Zhu Ning had never felt so carefully where his heart, liver, spleen and lungs were.
"Side effects are natural," Doctor Fu said. "The essence of genetic medicine is to regenerate your body."
"Just sit there and take your time. I'll watch you."
Zhu Ning walked out of the medical cabin and rested for a full twenty minutes. Twenty minutes later, she finally adapted to her new body and learned to control her senses.
After blocking out some of the noise, the world became less noisy. After she consciously controlled her vision, she would no longer rashly look so far.
"Have you recovered?" Doctor Fu asked, "How do you feel now?"
Feel?
Zhu Ning clenched his fists, feeling that nothing had changed, yet also feeling that everything had changed.
"Something is wrong." Zhu Ning said.
Dr. Fu took notes and asked, "What's wrong?"
Zhu Ning: "I seem... a little irritable."
She felt that she was not as calm as before and her mood was not right.
Doctor Fu glanced at the computer and said, "Your mental state hasn't fluctuated. It's probably just a simple emotional issue."
The medical department's machines are not as accurate as those in the R&D department. They can only see whether the mental state value fluctuates, but cannot read the exact value.
Doctor Fu: "It's normal. After injecting genetic drugs, hormone levels tend to become unbalanced."
Zhu Ning: "How long will it take to recover?"
Doctor Fu: "It depends on the individual. The quickest ones can recover today, the slower ones may take a month."
Human hormones need to slowly adapt to the new body.
Doctor Fu: "Come back for a follow-up in a month. I'll check all your data."
Zhu Ning nodded.
Dr. Fu: "The effects of gene therapy injections vary from person to person. Some people respond very well, while others respond poorly."
The principle of genetic medicine is not that it can definitely make the weak stronger, otherwise Xu Meng would not have given up on genetic medicine and instead chose to make a mechanical prosthesis.
Doctor Fu: "I've read your case. You're defective. Your organs don't have a long lifespan. After the gene injection, if you're lucky, it could help extend your lifespan."
"But we'll have to go to the R&D department for more precise data collection to know the final results," said Dr. Fu. "I hope you can recover."
Doctor Fu was sincere in what he said. He certainly knew that Zhu Ning's spirit value was 1200. It would be a waste to let such a good seedling be dragged down by his body.
All employees of the 103 District Cleaning Center have a common goal and they don’t want to give up any talent.
Zhu Ning was silent. Was it her imagination? Did she think the people at the cleaning center were very enthusiastic?
Doctor Fu: "I'll add your contact number. If you feel anything unusual, please tell me."
Zhu Ning asked, "Anything to be careful of?"
Doctor Fu: "Just eat and drink normally, and you can even go on missions normally."
Zhu Ning: “…”
There is no need to emphasize this.
Zhu Ning: "You won't let me do some tests?"
Doctor Fu: “For example?”
Zhu Ning: "Let me throw a punch and see my strength and defense values?"
Doctor Fu shook his head. "It's pointless. Your body is changing all the time. The data I measure now may not be accurate in a week. Why don't you go back now and try to fight that mechanized opponent again? I'll watch your video online."
If Dr. Fu wasn't constrained by his job duties, he would have wanted to go to the scene to see it.
Zhu Ning: “…”
Why are you so gossipy?
Zhu Ning: "Okay, can I go now?"
Doctor Fu smiled lovingly and said, "Take care. I've debited your fee from your card."
Zhu Ning was still adapting to his new body and hadn't reacted when he heard his secondary brain flash, followed by the sound of shredding banknotes.
[Spent 1.5 million SGD, account balance: 201,200 SGD.]
Zhu Ning: “!”
Zhu Ning suddenly came to her senses. What a spendthrift she was, having spent 1.5 million in one go. Now she only had 200,000 left, which was not enough to afford even a single injection of genetic medicine.
A course of treatment consists of six injections, and the full cost is 9 million yuan. If any abnormalities occur, additional injections may be required.
The average monthly salary for federal workers is now $4,800, and the average salary for defective workers is even lower. Furthermore, many jobs discriminate against defective workers, so it's simply unrealistic for a defective worker to save up $9 million.
As expected, ordinary people can’t afford to fight at all.
Zhu Ning took a deep breath and asked calmly, "When will the second shot be given?"
Doctor Fu: "One month later."
Zhu Ning: “…”
A money-eating beast, a money-shredding machine. Zhu Ning didn't know how to describe himself more appropriately. It was quite expensive to support himself.
Zhu Ning walked out with a dejected look on her face. Xu Meng and Li Nianchuan were waiting for her at the door. In just one day, Zhu Ning went from picking up discharged patients to being the patient being visited. It was a complete turn of events.
Li Nianchuan handed the red rose to Zhu Ning, "Zhu Ning, happy discharge from the hospital."
Zhu Ning: “…”
One flower serves two purposes, Li Nianchuan, you are great.
Xu Meng asked: "How is it?"
Many people will experience side effects after injecting genetic drugs. Zhu Ning went in full of vitality, but came out full of resentment.
Zhu Ning asked, "Where's that girl from before?"
Xu Meng: "Ah?"
She thought she had heard wrongly.
Zhu Ning looked at Xu Meng firmly: "I want to challenge her."
She couldn't wait to try out the body she had spent 1.5 million on.
