At the final moment, even if he is about to be exhausted, Qin Zhilu will still be the one to press the button.
"Sir."
An Yu took his arm.
Qin Zhilu paused for a moment before turning his head and looking at him.
The faint candlelight between their bodies seemed to be taken away by the wind at any time.
The strange red color was quickly dissipating from An Yu's eyes. Qin Zhilu stared at him, seeming to be distracted for a rare moment.
In a daze, An Yu's consciousness suddenly sank.
Suddenly there was a hysterical scream in the darkness, followed by chaotic alarms.
"Alert! The subject's survival index has dropped sharply! Please cut off the induction process immediately!"
"Wing sequence D1-248 aberration gene induction accident!"
"Mental power continues to decline! Stop the gene injection immediately!"
An Yu's vision gradually became clearer. He was in a strange but somewhat familiar all-metal enclosed laboratory. There seemed to be a thin young man lying on the test table, with countless terrifying pipelines connected to his naked body. At this moment, he Red warning signs are dancing on screens large and small around you, and various physiological indicators are approaching the edge of life and death.
Under the oxygen mask, frightened breathing with cries echoed in the laboratory. It was the pain and helplessness that An Yu could relate to.
But An Yu was a little confused.
He has already seen Bai Jing's memory sealed in the fourth broken lens. Bai Jing has also fallen from a high altitude, and the mirror core is broken. He really can't figure out where he entered Bai Jing's memory again.
Suddenly a panicked male voice sounded from the wall.
"0930! 0930! You have no signs of deformation, nor have you lost your will! I repeat, you are not deformed. This is an energy overload accident! Please try to calm your breathing, stay conscious, and don't fall asleep! The ambulance staff will help soon. You're back to normal!"
Like a punch to the heart.
An Yu seemed to have lost his thoughts at that moment.
But he finally remembered that although the facilities were older, this was not a medical examination room in an orphanage, but a brain laboratory in the main city.
He once lay on that cold metal table, and the Lord of the Main City talked to him through the intercom system embedded in the wall, calling him by the temporary code name given to him on his birthday - 1222.
On the test platform, the sound of dying gasps could not be subdued for a long time. It was amplified by the monitoring device, and the echoes were repeated one after another.
An Yu recalled that not long ago, when he was making fake identities for his teammates in the archives room of the orphanage, he casually asked: "Sir, when is your birthday?"
"September 30, 2122." Qin Zhilu replied calmly.
0930.
The metal door suddenly opened amid the siren, and a dozen medical staff wearing protective suits rushed in, completely surrounding the test bed.
"Blood pressure 30-50!"
"Adrenaline!"
"Heart rate 32! Electrodes ready!"
"Gene inhibitor!"
"0930! 0930! Can you hear me!"
"0930! Don't sleep!"
An Yu was stunned for a long time.
He is just a glimpse of prying consciousness, existing in this memory that was accidentally triggered. He could do nothing but maneuver his perspective through the crowd at the test stand and look at the indicators on the screen.
Survival value 5%, mental strength 32%.
The memory was chaotic, but the scenes that had happened and the words Qin Zhilu and Yan Xi had said to him were intertwined and suddenly became clear in his mind——
"The great disaster came in 2122, and Lu's mother was directly exposed in her pregnancy. After Lu was born, he was included in the first list of genetic entropy tests... A total of 10,000 samples were sent for testing, and he was the only extremely outlier sample... "
…
"Sir seemed very tired during those few days when I fell asleep. What on earth was he doing?"
"Sorry, no comment. You can ask the law directly... After returning from Area 53, Shangfeng hopes that the brain will restart the test on you with real aberration genes to see how many kinds of abilities can be stimulated in you. Theoretically, the test can Perfect grasp of the scale, but Law disagrees.”
…
"Gene induction experiments are inhumane experiments that cost a lot of money and have only been carried out on a very few individuals... They can cause strong neurological sequelae, with insomnia and nightmares being the most common."
"Sir, can you make Xing Xing fall asleep by playing a piece of music?"
"I accompanied him to recall some past events... Insomnia is just a disease, and orphans don't know it. I taught him some ways to fall asleep, that's all."
…
"Why don't you sleep?"
"Wake up. Only two hours of sleep."
"Since when?"
"Since I can remember."
…
An Yu looked down and looked at the thin body on the test table.
Young Qin Zhilu was lying naked on the test table.
The pale skin was filled with large purple bruises, and every protruding blood vessel beat with the heartbeat. Those black eyes stared straight at the ceiling, as if their souls had been drained, and as if they were separated by time and space. An Yu looked at him overlooking him.
An Yu instinctively wanted to reach out and hug the little body like the officer had done to him, and touch his head to comfort him.
But he couldn't even touch it.
On a snowy night not long ago, he and his superior went from the canteen in Area A to the sleeping nest to look for Chen Nian. The superior seemed to be very concerned about whether he had been bullied by the bullies in the orphanage when he was a child. Even if he said no, he still stretched out a black Huge tentacles covered the snow and sand in front of him.
He recognized this good opportunity to enhance his relationship with his superior, and immediately asked back: "Sir, what were you doing when you were a child?"
The commander's expression that day was as calm as usual, but his voice seemed to have fallen into the wind and snow.
"In the Black Tower and the Brain, and sometimes home."
Chapter 51 Orphanage with High Risk of Deformation·51
The data screen shows the time when this memory occurred.
In 2130, Qin Zhilu was 8 years old.
In the laboratory, the broken breathing gradually weakened, and the medical staff had stabilized his physiological signs.
A researcher clicked on the information database numbered 0930 on the computer, which was the highest level secret of the Black Tower. The records quickly scrolled across the screen. An Yu looked down at the stiff and cold words.
[February 2122: Tang Ru, the wife of General Qin Zheng, was pregnant for one month and was exposed in the Yuge Snowfield. The fetal test showed no abnormalities and she was allowed to give birth normally. 】
…
[September 2122: Fetus was born, codenamed #0930, included in the first list of gene entropy detection tests.
Clinical report: 0930 gene entropy exceeds the upper limit of instrument measurement (>1 million), and there are no signs of distortion. It is recommended that the laboratory contain it and conduct long-term isolation and observation. 】
…
[September 2126: #0930 has found no abnormalities during the three-year observation period, and the latest mental strength evaluation level is "excellent". With the approval of General Qin Zheng, gene injection induction is allowed for #0930.
Attachment: The experiment plans to use samples collected from human beings during deformity clearance for micro-gene injection. There is a possibility that the subjects will become deformed due to induction. 】
Gene injection was the predecessor of the induction test. At that time, the technology was not perfect enough. The test did not use frequency to simulate the distortion process, but simply and crudely injected trace amounts of distorted genes extracted from all over the world into the human body one by one.
Qin Zhilu had just turned 4 that year, when he first had a vague understanding.
That was also the peak period when humans discovered various aberrations. The test records were scrolling crazily on the screen. During the most intensive period, the data would scroll dozens of screens in one day. An Yu looked down quietly for a while, then turned back to look at Qin Zhilu on the test bench.
Qin Zhilu had a bunch of tubes inserted into his body. He turned his head with difficulty and looked at the physiological indicators on the screen.
Although there were only a few numbers, he looked at them for a long time until the medical staff stopped him in a low voice and helped him turn his head back.
There was an emptiness in those black eyes that An Yu had never seen before.
An Yu's consciousness leaned down from high in the air, hugging his young commander in vain, and then looked into those black eyes again, slowly browsing through those memories where the guard was accidentally removed.
During the four years from 2126 to 2130, Qin Zhilu was almost at the point between his brain and the black tower.
As a child, Qin Zhilu had no concept of life. He only knew that his code name was 0930, and his only mission was to cooperate with the test and learn to endure pain.
In his mind, every test carries the risk of leaving this world forever, but if it ends successfully, everyone will be obedient to him before the next test comes. He has his own smart terminal, and adults have never restricted him from seeing the wonderful world outside. His researcher would run out and queue up to buy popular milk tea for him, watch TV shows with him, help him buy various out-of-print records, and even gave him an acoustic guitar for fun.
He has been running around freely in the Brain and the Black Tower since he was a child, making friends with some people called lawful people. There are five adults called the "first generation" who always like to tease him. There is also a guy who looks like a birdman named Billy. He comes to listen to him play the piano when he has nothing to do, and will also help him deal with some skin and flesh left over from the test. Minor injury.
During those four years, Qin Zhilu's perception of the world was very divided. He felt that everything around him was kind, but at the same time it was difficult to force himself to forget the pain of the test.
The researcher was very candid with him and kept him informed of every clinical incident. In four years, there were a total of 185 dangerous accidents, of which 4 were clinically critical. Although he had no remaining disability, he was left with permanent neurosis: insomnia, headaches and palpitations.
When he was in pain, the original lawmen and Billy would come to accompany him. Billy also secretly told him that as long as he completed all the tests, he would get his own human name and completely join the outside world.
In September 2130, Qin Zhilu received a full-distortion gene sequence test report on his 8th birthday.
The report shows that no aberrant gene can successfully induce him. Although he has explosive genetic entropy, he is considered a safe and stable human being.
That day, he heard the name his father had given him long ago - Qin Zhilu.
On the way back to Qin's house by the military car, he pressed his face against the glass and looked at the world outside - although it was no different from the one in the terminal, it was still the most exciting day for him.
That year he officially met his father and mother. His father, Qin Zheng, was serious and taciturn, but he would recommend books worth reading to him, patiently annotate his reading notes, and teach him how to disassemble and assemble a pistol. His mother, Tang Ru, was a gentle and kind writer. She spent more than half a month exploring his taste, and then cooked for him every day, despite her pregnant belly.
When he was young, Qin Zhilu liked to eat French fries the most because they were an ingredient that had never appeared in the brain nutrition diet.
Also that year, Qin Zhilu had a younger sister, and his father gave him the task of naming her. At that time, he was reading a collection of poems written by his mother when she was a girl, so he named his sister Qin Zhishi.
He enjoyed the intense elite education and quickly surpassed the academic progress of children his age. Influenced by his mother, he also likes literature and music. Qin Zheng let him live in the largest bedroom in the Qin Mansion, which has a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows and wooden bookshelves. He likes to sit on the ladder of the bookshelf and bask in the sun, reading books. , playing guitar until falling asleep.
"The socialization training originally arranged for you has been cancelled. We didn't expect that you would integrate into the family so quickly, and it all happened naturally." The psychiatrist praised him happily, with soft eyes and said: "Zhilu, not everyone A person can be born with such a strong heart. Your emotions are far more stable than most people in the world, and you have an almost terrifying rationality and tolerance. Although your genetic entropy is difficult to explain, you also have me. The most perfect personality I have ever seen. My child, I wish you happiness in the rest of your life."
Qin Zhilu sat in the consulting chair and smiled, "Thank you. I can indeed fully understand those gene injection tests. That is what human decision-makers should do, and it is also my responsibility as a member of the human race."
He turned to look at the sunshine outside the window and said softly: "I really like my parents and Zhishi...especially Zhishi, she is so cute."
The psychiatrist looked at him and seemed to be distracted for a while.
