"By the way, I heard that you are going out again in the next two days?"
"Well, I'm going on a business trip to the United States."
"American country?"
Ye Xi frowned.
Chen Cheng suddenly remembered that Ye Xi's team of Forsaken seemed to have suffered heavy losses in the United States.
Seeing Ye Xi's expression become serious, he said solemnly to Chen Cheng:
“Chen Cheng, try not to cause trouble when you go to the United States this time.”
Shen Cheng: “…”
Do you think I want to cause trouble?!
"The factional struggles within the US at the Phantom Asian level are intense, even somewhat chaotic and dangerous. If you stir up trouble in the US again, you might be targeted by those with ulterior motives. You must avoid trouble as much as possible and keep a low profile."
Shen Cheng nodded repeatedly.
"...Also, you must keep in touch with me this time, got it?"
To be honest, Ye Xi even had the urge to go to the United States with Shen Cheng on this trip, but unfortunately, his special identity was there.
If possible, Ye Xi still hopes that Chen Cheng will reject the arrangement of the Institute of Biological Sciences this time and not go to the United States.
But Ye Xi had a vague premonition in his heart that Chen Cheng's trip... might bring some changes to the United States?
But even so, Ye Xi still grabbed Shen Cheng and warned him again and again before finally letting him go to eat.
After all, there is an overabundance of guns in the United States. Even if Chen Cheng is strong, a volley of bullets will still weigh five kilograms including the ash and the box.
What's more, there's a strange aura about Shen Cheng that makes him cause trouble wherever he goes.
…
The next morning, Shen Cheng opened his eyes, and as usual, he immediately lifted the quilt and opened today's blind box.
Today, in addition to regular customers like Cheese and Sugar, Chen Cheng also found Qibisi lying on his chest, and her saliva had soaked a part of his pajamas.
Chen Cheng twitched the corner of his mouth slightly, slowly picked up Qibisi and put her on the bed, while he got out of bed and changed his clothes.
This time we are going to the Institute of Biological Sciences just to check the mission. There is no need to bring Qibisi and Chuyu. We will probably be back tonight.
After walking out of the bedroom, Liusu hugged Yexi under her sour gaze. Liusu asked:
"Are we going to the Institute of Biological Sciences today?"
Shen Cheng nodded:
"Do you want to come?"
"I won't go."
Liusu shook her head. She still wanted to go to the United States with Shen Cheng. After all, she was quite strong now, but the Institute of Biological Sciences did not allow it.
After all, the environment in the United States is not much better than that in Hong Country. As Huanya's Liusu, she will probably get into a lot of trouble inexplicably when she goes to the United States.
In the end, Shen Cheng drove to the Institute of Biological Sciences alone.
When Chen Cheng arrived at the Institute of Biological Sciences, it was already noon and the sun was very hot, but the soldiers stationed at the Institute of Biological Sciences were still fully armed and stood there diligently, unmoved.
After exchanging salutes with the soldiers, Shen Cheng stepped inside.
It was Li Ji who came to greet Shen Cheng.
Chen Cheng keenly discovered that Li Ji's enthusiasm seemed to have diminished a lot, and he seemed to have something on his mind.
After the two of them walked in silence for a while in the corridor of the Institute of Biological Sciences, Li Ji finally couldn't help but speak:
"Officer Shen... Officer Shen, can I ask you something?"
"What's up?"
"If you were given an extra fifty years of life, would you be willing?"
“…”
Shen Cheng was silent for a moment, and finally shook his head slowly.
Li Ji was a little surprised:
"Why?"
"Because there are many people around me whom I care about, Huihui, Cheese, Liusu... If I had an extra fifty years of life, it would mean that I would have to watch them die one after another. This feeling... would be very painful, right?"
Li Ji was stunned, but after a moment, he continued to ask:
"What if I gave all of you an extra fifty years of life?"
“…We’ll talk about it when the time comes.”
Shen Cheng gave an ambiguous answer.
Li Ji still wanted to get an answer from Shen Cheng, so he asked:
"Commissioner Shen, can you tell me what you think?"
Shen Cheng smiled faintly:
"Immortality, what a wonderful thing! If this is the general trend, I think I would definitely accept it with joy, right? But... for now, we should try to avoid this issue and not pursue the so-called immortality in an overly morbid way."
As he spoke, Shen Cheng patted Li Ji's shoulder:
"I know nothing about research, so I naturally won't try to influence your thinking. But I still want to say that if you insist on pursuing this research, you must remember the original intention of your research. You must tell yourself that you are only researching a new type of drug, not developing a hope that will make all of humanity morbidly pursue immortality."
Through these few brief conversations, Shen Cheng had already guessed that the Institute of Biological Sciences might have already grasped the technology that could prolong human life.
This might be a good thing, right? After all, humanity must ultimately move forward. The longer a generation lives, the wider the paths it can open up, and the gap between new talent and old talent will gradually narrow.
But... since ancient times, those who pursued immortality in overly extreme ways have never had a good ending.
Li Ji stood there silently. Shen Cheng did not wait for Li Ji, wanting him to think carefully alone, and walked straight to the dean's office.
After a while, Li Ji took out a crumpled plan from the pocket of his white coat. Looking at the four big words "Elixir of Life" on the top, Li Ji smiled bitterly.
It seems like I almost stepped into this abyss.
