Chapter 1967 The Price
The clean and tidy room, with milky white strip lights inlaid on the metal-painted walls, coupled with the shining lights, looks very sci-fi.
But in such a youthful room, there stood a white-haired old man with a deep smile on his wrinkled face. He looked at the people who came in and said: "Horii , long time no see.”
"Ryōryōsuke? What are you doing?"
Before the excitement and joy on Horii's face faded away, they were replaced by extreme shock. His already big eyes stared. All of them are comparable to copper bells.
This. This is Ryosuke?
How is that possible?
How could this be?
He and Ryousuke are old classmates, and they are similar in age. Horii is thirty-seven years old this year, and he just feels that his energy is not as good as before, but the man in front of him not only has white hair, but no black hair at all. , and the skin is loose and full of wrinkles. It looks like old tree bark. Even the back is full of bumps. It is said that he is still young at 70 or 80 years old.
How could this be Ryousuke?
"Haha," Sanada Ryosuke smiled, slowly sat down on the table, and said softly: "People will become like this."
"But...but you...you..." Horii shivered. I couldn't even utter a complete sentence. My brain was so shocked that my eyes went blank, and I almost lost the ability to think.
"I took a shortcut, so I reached the finish line earlier than you."
Sanada Ryosuke smiled and said cruel words, but Horii almost cried.
Since I was a child, I have never seen Ryousuke like this before.
He was old and frail, as if a gust of wind could knock him down. But what made Horii more uncomfortable than his physical weakness was Ryousuke's current state, which was completely different from his past unwillingness to be left behind.
Think about it when we met in the New Development Zone a few years ago, Ryosuke could still recall the breath-holding competition he lost to Horii when he was a child. This shows how competitive he is and wants to be first in everything. , backward people will feel extremely uncomfortable at all, but now, not only the appearance has become the same as the old man, but also the mentality is the same as the old man, without any vigour.
This.
What happened to make Ryosuke become what he is now in just a few years.
But Sanada Ryosuke seemed not to notice Horii’s shocked expression, and said to himself: “I heard that you have started a family and have a pair of children. That’s great, and your life is complete. .”
"Yes." Horii nodded stiffly, then quickly unzipped his clothes, carefully took out a photo, held it up in front of Sanada Ryosuke, and said, "The older one is six years old, and the younger one is four years old." .”
Sanada Ryousuke raised his hand to catch the photo, but after lifting it halfway, he put it down again and just used his hands. He looked at it with turbid eyes, and said after a while: "It's so good, so good."
"."
Horii didn't know what to say for a while, he wanted to comfort but was afraid As before, he acted like a show off, because he had two children and a happy family, but Sanada Ryosuke was not only as weak as an old man, but also alone.
Because he attended Sayaka’s wedding two years ago, and the groom.
It’s not Ryousuke.
Even though there was affection back then, there has been no news from Ryousuke since then, and Horii couldn’t even find out, let alone that it was Sayaka who was just a researcher, so in the end it was better to just stay silent.
After a while, Sanada Ryosuke leaned back and leaned on the back of the chair, his eyes wandering, as if Looking at the luminous strip on the ceiling, he said: "Horii, actually it's not so good to be first in everything. Sometimes it's good to be a little behind, because then you have time to do other things.
Life
In fact, you should enjoy it slowly. ”
"Ryosuke."
Horii opened his mouth, but his throat seemed to be blocked by a big stone, making him speechless. His eyes were even more astringent and felt moist.
Such words are not what Ryosuke in his memory could say. Now listening to these words and looking at Ryousuke like this, it really makes Horii uncomfortable.
Striving for the first place in everything, spending all the energy and time on fighting for the first place, so all that is left in life is fighting for the first place. What is even more sad is that the current Ryousuke is not even qualified to talk' "Slowly" is the word.
After Sanada Ryousuke said a few words sadly, he took a deep breath, cheered up, and returned to his previous smiling appearance, saying: "I'm going to enjoy it next, so you can Work hard slowly. Raising a child is not an easy task. It takes a lot of time and energy. ”
Saying that, Sanada Ryosuke held on to the table and was about to stand up tremblingly. The shaky look made Horii subconsciously reach out to help him, but Sanada Ryosuke waved his hand to reject it, causing Horii's hand to stop in mid-air, and then Take it back silently.
At this moment, Horii saw a bit of Sanada Ryosuke's past, and would not let him help him even if needed.
What Horii could do in just one second, it took Ryosuke Sanada almost ten seconds to finally stand up. There were beads of sweat on his forehead, and he picked up the crutches beside him. Slowly walked out, talking as he walked He said: "I just took the first step. I met you and knew that your life is very good, that's enough, haha."
When he walked to Horii, he raised his hand with difficulty and patted it feebly. Horii's shoulder, and then continued walking out.
Horii did not move or look back, he just stood there, listening to the sound of Sanada Ryosuke's crutch hitting the ground gradually getting away until the automatic door closed.
In an instant, I burst into tears!
My shoulders shook violently, and tears fell like rain.
Already extremely sad.
Because he is about to lose a friend, his friend since childhood.
Obviously he had a bright future and a beautiful life, but he lost to the darkness in his heart.
A mistake made once will take a lifetime to repay.
Horii felt that he was not worth it and was even more sad that he was about to leave. But they didn't dare to show it in front of him. Even though both parties knew it, they still held back a tear to prevent Liangsuke from seeing it, just to maintain Liangsuke's pitiful self-esteem.
After a long time, Horii heard the footsteps and stopped behind him. Then a warm hand patted the shoulder where Ryousuke just patted him, and then said: "He Putting these years together about Eblon Cells He wrote down all his experiences and feelings, as well as his previous research on Albron cells, and because of him, many people have a deeper understanding of the harm of Albron cells.”
The description in the text, It's never as shocking as the actual experience.
No matter what attitude I had towards Albron cells in the past, I was deeply impressed after seeing with my own eyes that Ryosuke Sanada, who was not even forty years old, now looked like an old man. The harm of cell transplantation is so terrible.
I really agree with that sentence. It is better to say it ten thousand times than to actually read it once.
Horii raised his hand to wipe his tears, turned around, looked at Chiba Makoto with red eyes, then bent down and bowed deeply, saying: "Thank you!
Thanks to you, Ryousuke has had a few years to overcome the darkness in his heart.”
It was precisely because Ultraman Tiga cleared the Ebron cells from Ryosuke Sanada that Ryosuke Sanada did not die on the spot. But in the past few years, I have stopped to think and reflect. Finally, he got rid of the 'aura' that had been covering and weighing on him for a long time.
Maybe it's a little late, but.
You finally let it go, right?
Even if it is the last moment of life, it is better than never letting go and thinking about it all your life.
So, Ryosuke Horiiyo said this, which was several years late
Thank you!
Chiba Makoto didn't say a word, but just patted Horii's shoulder hard again, and then walked out, leaving Horii to sort out his curiosity before walking out of the reception room.
Although there are still tears on his face and his eyes are still red, he is no longer glum.
I didn’t ask where Ryosuke Sanada was, but directly talked about the Ebron alien beast that had caused TPC to go to war.
After Tsutomu Nakajima’s report was submitted, Director Fukami convened a staff meeting and immediately organized multiple investigations and verifications to confirm that it was indeed the remains of Albron cells and the existence of a cell underground in the metropolis. Mice infected only with Ebron cells.
TPC paid attention to it and organized a large amount of manpower and material resources to search for this Abron alien beast at all costs and must annihilate it.
Originally, this matter had nothing to do with Horii. After all, he was no longer a member of the victory team. Now he was transferred to the scientific research department and took the lead in building the cosmic network with PWI. However, the matter of Sanada Ryosuke was always a thorn in Horii's side. Join in and contribute to the complete elimination of Ebron cells.
Yes, it is to completely eliminate Albron cells.
After Ryosuke Sanada appeared at the general headquarters, the staff meeting reached an agreement at an unprecedented speed, that is, Albron cells must be treated more carefully and strict measures must be used to control Albron cells. Some activists have even proposed destroying all Ebron cells.
As for this proposal, even the most conservative police department did not immediately oppose it. Instead, they believed that it should be carefully considered based on the overall situation and looking into the future, and that judgment should not be made based on temporary problems. .
Obviously, some people still have certain illusions and expectations about Albron cells. They are unwilling to destroy the Albron cells, which can be called the 'big killer', but they also agree to adopt more stringent measures. Control measures must be taken to strictly guard against stubbornness and we must leave Albron cells to the future.
The reason for this is very simple. One is that by studying and preserving Ebron cells, one is thinking that giant creatures can be used as biological weapons, and the other is hoping to develop human enhancement drugs from them, thereby greatly improving the body's physical fitness and even extending lifespan. .
But Ryosuke Sanada's appearance directly shattered the second expectation. This is not about extending life. It is clearly about sucking the bones and knocking out the marrow. It took a few years to turn a strong young man into this dying ghost. look.
Even if it is possible to achieve my expectations in the future, it will definitely not be short in time. Since I can’t use it, why should I take the risk?
Therefore, even some people who have high hopes for Albron cells believe that research on Albron cells should not be restarted in the short term, and that stricter control is needed.
It is said that in private, Chief of Staff Nagumo even gloated that 'whoever caused the leakage of Ebron cells will be in bad luck this time'.
In fact, everyone knows that the person who can quietly obtain Eblon cells and support the research is definitely not an unknown person. He must have a very high status and power, but no matter what, he will not please him next time, even if You won't be kicked out, and you will have to pay a heavy price.
While various high-level meetings were taking place, the command room of the Super Victory Team was also in full swing formulating a plan to annihilate the Albron alien beast.
After regaining his sense and calmness, Horii immediately used his smart brain to brainstorm with Tsutomu Nakajima, and began to think of ways to find the Eblon alien beast, and then use heavy Firepower wiped it out completely.
“According to the relevant data retained by the Space Development Agency and the information provided by Ryosuke, the infection of the host by Ebron cells is in stages, and the desire for electricity is also different at different stages, so we We can make a fuss about this."
Tsutomu Nakajima nodded in agreement and asked Midorikawa Mai to use a supercomputer to calculate the curve of power demand at different stages.
Horii pointed to one of the curves that suddenly pulled up and said: "At this stage, ordinary transmission lines cannot meet the demand at all, so we must look for power stations."
"But it is just a mouse. Huh?”
Yomimura Ryo expressed surprise, can a mouse still find a power station like a human?
Horii straightened up and said meaningfully: "Don't underestimate the hunting instinct of living things."
"So, we must make plans around the power station." Hi. Higosuke's brows were almost furrowed. This was not easy to handle. A little carelessness could cause great damage. After all, this is high-voltage electricity. If you connect the wrong one, it can cause extremely terrible disasters. explode.
"Actually, we can set traps." Horii clicked on the map, which is the largest solar power transmission station closest to the metropolis. This is a newly built facility after the Gazot incident that receives space microwaves and converts them into electricity. It is responsible for supplying large-scale electricity. Forty-three percent of the city's electricity.
"As long as the metropolitan area is the only one with abundant electricity, the Albron alien beast will have no choice." Nakajima Tsutomu's eyes also lit up, and he immediately got Horii's point. .
"Yes, it can only come here when the time comes." Horii took a picture of the map and said, "Then we can find a way to completely eliminate it."
"This It takes time to prepare." Kibi Gosuke nodded and agreed with this method in principle, but it requires detailed planning. After all, this is a metropolis, with a combined population of 40 million in the city and suburbs.
Once a major power outage occurs, the impact will be huge, so notification must be made in advance and preparations must be made in order to carry out the power outage in an orderly manner, otherwise, big trouble will occur.
And if you want to make it so big, even the staff meeting will not dare to make decisions, and a larger meeting must be held.
