While Si Qing rushed back, Du Jin's condition was not very optimistic. Although he received prompt treatment, he suffered irreversible damage to his brain due to excessive blood loss and postoperative sequelae. He was almost in a vegetative state. After several hours of treatment, when Si Qing arrived at the hospital, Du Jin was pushed out and transferred to the special postoperative observation room. She did not go directly to check on Du Jin's condition. After all, she had just finished the surgery. What Du Jin needed most during the operation was not interruption but rest. When the nurse pushed Du Jin into the sterile observation room, Si Qing stopped the old director and asked:
"Dean Qin, how is Du Jin's condition?"
"I understand your concerns about this patient. Judging from the results of the operation, he no longer has major life problems."
Great, Si Qing looked at Du Jin who was wearing a breathing mask through the glass. The anxiety that had been filling her heart slowly eased. What followed was her expectations for the future between herself and Du Jin. If she had any expectations for Du Jin before, Jin has a great crush on her, and now Si Qing has recognized Du Jin as his partner to accompany him for the rest of his life. It may be cliché for a hero to save a beauty, but Du Jin's act of willing to sacrifice his life for her has completely captured Si Qing's heart. Heart, you must know that except for parents, who in this world will work hard to take care of themselves regardless of their own safety?
Looking at Si Qing, whose face softened and was filled with smiles, Dean Qin shook his head gently and said in a regretful tone:
"It's just that although the patient's life was saved, due to the nerve occlusion caused by brain hypoxia, there is a high chance that he will remain in an unconscious state, that is, a vegetative state. We are sorry as much as we can!"
What Dean Qin didn't mention was the strangeness of Du Jin's body during the operation. For example, some incisions repaired themselves amazingly, and the bleeding points that were originally judged miraculously healed themselves. The main reason that brought Du Jin back from death within hours, and these "miracles" were regarded as the body regeneration caused by Du Jin's own strong sense of survival, but as the operation ended, more and more participating doctors became more aware Something was wrong, the healing speed had exceeded the human body's self-repair limit after they had been practicing medicine for so many years, but the heavily armed detectives guarding outside the ward would not let them go in to study it again.
After listening to Dean Qin's words, Si Qing's beautiful eyes were instantly covered with tears. Being in a vegetative state is almost equivalent to brain death. Although the two have different degrees of brain damage, they both make people unable to respond effectively to the outside world. This instantly shattered Si Qing's inner expectations for a happy future life. She suppressed the helplessness, self-blame and sadness in her heart, and replied to Dean Qin in a haggard tone:
"I...I understand. Don't notify Du Jin's parents yet. When he is completely stable, I will go and explain the situation to them in person, and...help me prepare a set of visiting chemical protective clothing. I I want to see him again.”
"OK!"
Although visiting at this time was not in compliance with the hospital's regulations, Dean Qin did not refuse Si Qing's request. The first reason was because the armed men surrounding Si Qing proved that her identity was unusual, and the second reason was that he did not To reject such a request so ruthlessly, this kind of meeting is not much different from the nature of farewell.
.....................
In another world, Li Mengyan was sitting on a chair next to the treatment cabin, carefully studying the distribution layout of the medical deck through the holographic map on her wrist. Thanks to Du Jin, the closed protective isolation allowed her, who had been fighting at high intensity, to The next step is to find Ralph, the sinner who has harmed countless innocent lives. Let this villain go. Li Mengyan will regret it for the rest of her life if she escapes. After all, one of her reasons for coming to this mining ship is It was also to make Ralph pay the due price and avenge his crew.
"Unknown external interference has been detected in the healer's body, and there are unknown risks in the treatment plan. We request auxiliary gene therapy.
In view of the uncontrollable nature of gene therapy, please ask the medical officer to confirm the order..."
At this time, the holographic panel on the treatment cabin flashed red suddenly, and then a rapid AI sound sounded, which made Li Mengyan immediately stand up to check the situation:
"Unknown external influence? How is this possible? The medical cabin is isolated from the outside world? How could it be..."
Listening to the content of the AI voice, Li Mengyan couldn't help but think of the wounds that had appeared inexplicably on Du Jin's body before, and she couldn't help but have some guesses in her mind. Based on Li Mengyan's previous identity, she had some understanding of some of the Federation's cutting-edge technologies, which naturally included one Subspace travel research related to time and space travel, but this research has great risks. The almost 100% mortality rate of test personnel caused the federation to stop the project research. She once observed the research site, and the test personnel suddenly appeared. The extensive wounds left a lasting impression on her.
"It's impossible...that research study was stopped, and as a senior scientific research officer, how could Du Jin conduct experiments on himself? There must be other reasons!"
Li Mengyan shook her head to eliminate the speculation in her mind. She controlled the holographic panel of the treatment cabin. Judging from Ralph's previous behavior of blocking her authority and sealing off the medical deck area, his identity should not be much different from that of a medical officer. If This application was known to Ralph. Then the situation of Li Mengyan and Du Jin is a bit bad. When the other party uses some means to cancel the isolation of the treatment room, those necromorphs can easily tear them apart. Fortunately, Li Mengyan has a unique understanding of the federal security system. She couldn't do anything about the "insights" of the gate control program without external interaction without cracking tools, but the program that connected the treatment cabin to the ship's network system gave her many ways to do it.
After bypassing the security program interface, Li Mengyan changed the confirmation command to the nearest manual confirmation. Looking at the confirmation button on the holographic screen, she hesitated. She was still clear that gene therapy refers to the above, by changing DNA. The arrangement and content are used to enable the transformed person to have some specific abilities. The extremely strong body self-healing ability is one of them. However, the risk of this method is still very high. The Federal Human Rights Commission has expressed concern about this method that may break the class transformation. It has always been in a state of lack of support, which has resulted in gene therapy not developing too far, and the remaining hidden dangers still exist.
"Gene therapy... this technology is actually carried on the medical deck of a mining ship? This ship may have some unknown secrets. I hope it can save Du Jin's life."
Li Mengyan has always been a decisive person. The fact that this banned treatment technology can be installed in this treatment cabin should be due to some private improvements. After all, technology related to life extension cannot be completely banned. Instead of this treatment affecting Due to Du Jin's influence, Li Mengyan decided to take a gamble.
Clicking to confirm, the word "Executing" appeared on the panel, and Li Mengyan became a little nervous. Although she mostly used Du Jin's authority to achieve her own goals, she did not want to achieve her own goals at the expense of her name. Purpose, not to mention that Du Jin had gone through a "journey" with her and was a qualified temporary companion in her opinion. No matter what the considerations were, she silently prayed that Du Jin could survive.
In the treatment cabin, the metal cubes around Du Jin first stretched out the restriction rings to fix his limbs and neck, and then countless long and fine needle-like objects penetrated into every part of the skin of Du Jin's body. A few stable seconds passed. However, Du Jin's body suddenly began to tremble greatly, but because of the restriction circle, he did not move his body at all. Even though Du Jin's consciousness was not yet clear, the unbearable pain coming from the hazy place made him feel uncomfortable. His body reacted instinctively, and it was obvious that the gene therapy process was not very comfortable.
About a minute later, Du Jin's body began to show some obvious changes. The muscles continued to bulge, the blood seeped out of the pores all over his body, and the ferocious look on his face... all of this proved that Du Jin's body was producing some huge changes. Change, and this change is from the inside to the outside. Li Mengyan outside the treatment cabin can feel the slight shaking in the cabin, but she can't help Du Jin outside. She can only pray silently in her heart:
"Du Jin, I hope you can survive. Since you can escape the "purification" mentioned by Ralph, I hope you won't stop here. I don't want to watch the people around me die anymore... .....”
A faint light was the only thing Du Jin could feel in his consciousness at this time. This light symbolizing hope was so dazzling in the darkness Du Jin was in:
"Seize it! You must seize this light!"
The strong will to survive made Du Jin desperately cut through the thick darkness around him. He staggered towards the direction of the beam of light. The darkness around him seemed to stretch out countless hands to drag him back into the darkness, but what appeared in front of him was The obsession in the figure's heart made him endure the pain of having his flesh and blood pulled away. He moved forward with great strength and determination. Finally, the seemingly long journey was completed by Du Jin. Only when he walked into the light did he realize that it was radiating light. It's not an exit, but a very familiar statue of two snakes.
"bloodstain?"
Du Jin looked at the familiar statue in front of him, as if something was pulling him in his mind. The pain that reached his soul made him unbearable for a moment. He reached out and grabbed the statue that made him fear and long for him. When he touched When he reached the statue, a burst of red light began to "climb" up his arm, which made Du Jin a little panicked. But when the squirming red light almost reached his heart, a dazzling black luster appeared and was instantly suppressed. The red light that kept encroaching on Du Jin's body was suppressed.
