Chapter 17 Douluo
(Some chapters in the middle are too slow and have been deleted, which does not affect reading)
At dusk again, the school bell echoed in the campus,
Han Letian, who had taken sick leave for several days and only returned to campus today, yawned and lay on the table with a depressed expression, sighing.
“What’s wrong with you.”
Li Sheng stretched, stood up and packed his schoolbag.
“Too sleepy.”
Han Letian buried his head and replied with a loud voice: “That antipyretic drug from Gen-Sys Biotechnology Company, it works, but the side effect is that it makes people sleepy. . ”
GS Biotechnology Company was jointly invested and established four years ago by more than a dozen multinational pharmaceutical groups (Pfizer, Novartis, Roche, Johnson & Johnson, etc.), covering pharmaceuticals, medical devices, diagnostic products, agriculture and forestry, Genetically modified foods, etc., it is the most technologically advanced pharmaceutical company in the world. It is often compared to the Umbrella Corporation in Resident Evil.
Of course, GS Biotechnology is much stronger than the umbrella company.
The latter will also go bankrupt and liquidated due to U.S. sanctions and blockades. The former itself is a global monopoly interest group. It has long been parasitic in every corner of the U.S. top management and has connections in both parties.
"Is this the reason why you fell asleep in math class?"
Mu Yulu, who was sitting in the row in front of Li Sheng, heard the conversation between the two, and while packing her schoolbag, she complained: "Snoring You can hear it even from here. Did you stay up late reading novels and comics again last night?”
“Hey, you caught me.”
Han Letian didn’t pretend either. "It's too boring to lie down at home, so I just read the old novel again. Don't tell me, a classic is a classic.
It's a pity that when flowers bloom again, people will never be young again. The author's life experience and personal circumstances at different stages created different moods.
After that state of mind, it is impossible to reproduce the same work again.
Just like Jiangnan, who has become famous, he can no longer write the youthful passion of "Dragon Clan";
The dreamer who is addicted to martial arts training can no longer write the anger and violence of "The Romance of Dragon and Snake" ;
Tang Jiasan gained both fame and fortune
Wait, he really can! ”
Han Letian suddenly became energetic and hit his palm, counting from "Douluo Dalu" to "Douluo Dalu II Peerless Tang Sect", "Douluo Dalu III Legend of the Dragon King", "Douluo Dalu IV" "Ultimate Douluo", "Douluo Dalu V: Rebirth of Tang San", as well as "Douluo Dalu Gaiden: Legend of the World of Gods", "Douluo Dalu Gaiden: The Legend of Tang Sect Heroes", "Douluo Dalu Gaiden: Douluo World".
“.If you know so many works so well, you are the one who is so dark and naturally pink, right? "
Mu Yulu, who felt numb after hearing the word "Douluo", rubbed her forehead and temples with a headache, and couldn't help but complain.
"Hahaha, how is that possible? Not interested in hydrogen people. ”
Han Letian waved his hand, packed up his schoolbag, and the three of them left the classroom. Before leaving, they rubbed the hair of Yang Ling, the class teacher's daughter, who was sitting on the right side of the podium, and said goodbye to her.
Yang Ling just entered elementary school this year, and her pink and jade carvings are particularly cute. When she is in a good mood, she will politely say goodbye to her brothers and sisters. When she is in a bad mood, she will blow up like a kitten and refuse to have her head rubbed.
"Goodbye, Brother Han, Brother Li, and Sister Mu."
Well, it seems that she is in a good mood today.
The three of them walked out of the campus together. Han Letian's mother drove an Audi and was waiting outside the door to take him home.
Han Letian got into the car and asked casually: "Where is my dad?"
"Your dad went fishing in the afternoon and hasn't come back yet."
He looks quite young and dresses very trendy. Mother Han’s tone was quite unhappy, “You clearly agreed to take me out to watch a movie today, so he’d better come back in time.”
Han Letian said speechlessly: “Mom, I’m just recovering from my illness, you two are willing to bear it. Leave me to watch a movie?”
Mother Han said carelessly: “Wouldn’t it be better if the body temperature dropped? Alas, you were not so squeamish when you were a child. No matter what kind of headache or fever you have, you can sleep well if you drink more cough medicine. Fragrant.”
".Did you sleep soundly? I'm afraid you were fainted from numbness? Now I'm starting to wonder if I'm your biological child."
Han Letian wiped the non-existent cold sweat on his head. Some cough medicines contain sedative and tranquilizing ingredients, which can make people drowsy and dizzy.
"Are you just starting to doubt it now? In fact, we have suspected it for a long time."
Mother Han rubbed her chin and put on a wise expression of serious thinking, "After all, it belongs to the attribute panel From the looks of it, you haven’t inherited your father’s [Glutton], [Thick Fat], [Enterity], and my [Charming Body], [Super Luck] characteristics.”
“What are the characteristics. What a ghost?" Han Letian complained, "So our whole family is a Pokémon!"
Mother Han ignored her son's complaints, turned to Li Sheng and said, "By the way, Xiao Sheng, Xiao Lu, do you two want to get in the car? I'll take you home."
"No, no, no, no, We have to go to the hospital, it’s not too far, so I won’t bother Auntie.”
Li Sheng and Mu Yulu waved their hands and declined. After seeing off the Audi car, they looked at each other and sighed. After a while, I rode to the Sixth People's Hospital of Yin City.
Han Letian’s mother is a fashion designer and his father is a software architect. When they were young, they were both senior otakus and dabbled in light novels, animation, animation, galgame, AVG, and VisualNovel, which belong to the second dimension. Brahman.
Today, these two people, who have money, leisure and extremely young mentality, often go to comic exhibitions all over the world. His lifelong dream is to continue traveling in the virtual world after Prometheus Laboratories' back-of-the-head intubation tube is successfully launched.
In a sense, they are very enviable parents.
At least it is much healthier than the family atmosphere of Li Sheng and Mu Yulu - Mu Yulu's mother suffers from heart disease and is hospitalized all year round, so she has to go and take care of her.
As for Li Sheng, in addition to visiting Mu Yulu's mother, he also has to visit Aunt Zhao at Zhao Ji Cake Shop where he worked before.
————
Airports have witnessed more sincere kisses than wedding halls, and hospital walls have heard more prayers than churches.
After finishing the visit, Li Sheng walked downstairs and sat on a bench in the flower bed rest area of the hospital. He looked at the bright moon in the night sky and thought of these words inexplicably.
He actually doesn’t like coming to the hospital very much. It has nothing to do with the vague smell of disinfectant that permeates the air, but mainly some examples.
The children surrounding the hospitalized elderly man are always quarreling about which family contributed less money, contributed less effort, or received more inheritance;
The worker with lung disease in his prime lay in bed On the hospital bed, the family members outside the ward and the factory owner discussed the compensation price and decided to give him up;
In order to defraud some compensation, the parents pushed the already cold body of their children into the hospital and asked doctors to rescue them;
Li Sheng did not consider himself a compassionate and kind-hearted Virgin, but he sometimes thought, if there was such a thing in the world, How wonderful it would be to have a panacea that could cure all diseases and relieve all pain.
"Give way."
Uncle Zhao, who was wearing a peaked cap, sat next to Li Sheng. His face was much thinner and he could not hide his fatigue. He was holding a pack of cheap cigarettes in his hand. When I was about to take one out, I remembered something and put it back.
“City demolition is really fast now. I went to take a look yesterday, and in just a few days, the cake shop was demolished.”
He sighed: "It took almost three months to buy equipment, go through the formalities, and decorate. Thinking about it now, it feels like a lifetime ago."
Maybe as people get older, they like to reminisce about the past.
Uncle Zhao rambled on about the past, how he and his wife met each other, how they gained a foothold in Yin City, and what joy and anxiety they felt after having a child.
The story of life is neither short nor long. The paper shells of cheap cigarettes are crumpled, and the story has come to an end.
Li Sheng, who had been listening quietly and responding occasionally, was silent for a moment and said slowly: "Uncle Zhao, you didn't wear a hat before."
".You see it?"
Uncle Zhao smiled bitterly and took off the peaked cap on his head. The originally thick hair was extremely sparse, and there were some spots on the yellowed scalp.
“And here.” He rolled up his right sleeve, and there was a red rash on his arm.
Li Sheng hesitated and said: "This is."
"The doctor said that your aunt's cancer is very difficult, and even cutting out most of the liver can't cure it. The most effective medical plan , is a gene therapy from Gen-Sys Biotechnology Company. Four courses of treatment cost hundreds of thousands.”
Uncle Zhao calmly said: "I tried my best to raise some money, but it was still not enough, so I signed up to participate in this company's new drug experiment.
For each injection, I will give you 10,000 yuan. If the sequelae are serious, you will be given 10,000 yuan. Thirty thousand. After five injections, each injection will cost more.”
The breeze blew, and the sparse hair flew like tumbleweeds in a Western movie.
"."
Li Sheng was silent for a long time, and then said hoarsely: ".I thought this kind of human experiment was only available in India,"
"Haha, people in different regions have different genes. If GS wants to produce special drugs in China, of course it has to find domestic experimenters."
Uncle Zhao smiled and said, "It just so happens that I am a rare panda. Blood, so he charges more than others.”
If he were a “moral model” or a “social elite” standing here, he would definitely accuse Uncle Zhao of being ignorant.
Should ordinary people in their right mind do medical experiments with unknown risks? Who knows what's in the potions given by those big companies.
What if ten or twenty years later, the sequelae suddenly appear? Alzheimer's disease, stroke, and hemiplegia are all coming together, and now this small amount of money is not even enough for medical treatment. If you want to claim compensation, the contract terms provided by the big company have already sealed all possibilities.
Li Sheng hesitated to speak several times, but in the end he said nothing - there is only one disease in the world. Poor disease.
Uncle Zhao patted Li Sheng on the shoulder, put on his hat, and walked upstairs.
