Chapter 137 "If only I could be like you."

Liu Ruosong and Fu Yan fell silent at the same time.

At this moment, it seems that all the information in their hands is tightly linked together, and all the doubts have a reasonable explanation-how did Joe Eden conduct drug experiments, and why there are "invariants" wandering outside.

"...Have you ever spent money in their medical industry?" Liu Ruosong asked.

Fu Yan lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then shook his head.

"I forgot." Fu Yan said.

He has restarted once, and the memories of the peaceful era and the end of the world exist in his mind at the same time. It is difficult for Fu Yan to recall such insignificant things in a short time.

Liu Ruosong frowned, but couldn't remember anymore.

Logically speaking, as a pilot, Fu Yan would not be treated in a private hospital outside.But Liu Ruosong had a lot of contacts and friends back then, maybe someone would give him a high-end medical examination package.

Routine physical examinations that are not therapeutic are not dangerous. Fu Yanxiu takes whatever he wants during the holidays, and if not, he will go with him.

Moreover, Liu Ruosong vaguely remembered that the United Pharmaceutical Industry had many joint blood donation activities before. Before knowing what criteria they used to select personnel, Liu Ruosong was not sure whether Fu Yan did it unintentionally. Get involved with them.

But no matter what, Fu Yan proposed a very feasible possibility for him, Liu Ruosong leaned forward and kissed his forehead very lightly.

"It was a great help, brother." Liu Ruosong said.

As he spoke, he got up from the bed, stepped on his shoes in a hurry, and turned around the room twice.

Fu Yan got up, chased and handed him the coat, and asked, "Want to go out?"

"Going to confirm this conjecture." Liu Ruosong hugged him and said, "Sorry, I can't accompany you for dinner."

As he said, he put on his coat, put on his shoes and went out hurriedly, wishing he could knock the communicator loudly.

He Tang happened to come looking for Fu Yan, and almost bumped into him at the door.

Liu Ruosong looked hurried, and only had time to say sorry, then quickly passed her by and walked out.

"What's going on?" He Tang stood at the door with an inexplicable expression, looked at Fu Yan, and then pointed to the direction Liu Ruosong was going away: "Little Brother Liu looks like he was kicked out by a dog."

"He has something important to do." Fu Yan snarled, "Maybe it's something in the research room."

"Oh, it's possible." He Tang didn't suspect anything at all. He scratched his hair and agreed, "The work they do in the laboratory building is too scary. It's like dying. Whenever I pass by that building, the lights are on in the early morning. The lights are still brightly lit at three or four o'clock—although it is to cheer for human beings, but I am afraid that they will die suddenly."

"They have a rest system." Fu Yan stepped on the slippers, put a coat on her body, and gestured to He Tang: "What's the matter, come in and sit down and talk."

When He Tang was interrupted, he remembered the business and quickly waved his hand.

"Don't sit down anymore." He Tang pointed to the communicator and said, "Captain, I'm looking for you on the [-]st."

"Looking for me?" Fu Yan closed the lunch box that had just been opened, and then touched the communicator to look, and found that it was clean and there was no new message: "How can I let you send a message?"

"I happened to bump into it." He Tang said, "No. [-] is too busy to send a message, but he said that he is not in a hurry, he just said let me tell you, and let you go there when you have time."

"Do you know anything?" Fu Yan asked.

He Tang frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then said uncertainly: "It seems... It's the deputy team's business?"

Leaving the dormitory building, Liu Ruosong went straight to the back-up area - after returning from City S, he arranged for Lu Li to be in the back-up building. He didn't disclose the special nature of the other party's blood sample, so even Lu Li himself didn't know what Liu Ruosong was. Why must he be chosen.

When Liu Ruosong arrived at the side door of the logistics building, Lu Li was already waiting for him there.

It's working time now, Lu Li hurried out, wearing a somewhat simple patch apron.

"Mr. Liu, what's the matter?" Lu Li rubbed his hands awkwardly. He obviously thought this was the time limit they had agreed on before, and then guessed, "Do you want me to help now?"

"Not for now." Liu Ruosong said, "I'm here this time because I have other questions to ask you."

It's obviously a good thing not to use it as an experimental device now, Lu Li heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.

"Ask," he said.

"Have you ever done a chain-type physical examination before?" Liu Ruosong called up the logo of the pharmaceutical industry from the communicator, and showed it to Lu Li.

Lu Li's eyes were puzzled at first, but then he seemed to think of something, and he frowned in thought.

Liu Ruosong waited patiently without urging.

After about three or four minutes, Lu Li finally dug out some forgotten memories from the depths of his memory.

"It seems...it happened before," Lu Li said.

"When?" Liu Ruosong asked eagerly, "Are there any details?"

"There are no details, just like a normal physical examination." Lu Li racked his brains to recall: "If there are any details, it seems that we added a link at the time, and we had to do a very awkward examination—that word It’s too tricky, I forgot what the name of the specific project is, but I remember that it was treated under general anesthesia, which lasted about an hour.”

"How do you feel after waking up?" Liu Ruosong asked.

"It's nothing special." Lu Li shook his head and said, "And as I remember, this set of medical examination packages is very expensive, so I only bought that once - I was studying abroad at the time, and it seemed to be a benefit for international students. , for free."

"Free?" Liu Ruosong was stunned, but then he realized that for Joe Aiden, it was indeed a good idea to attack foreign students.Whether it is the death of the experimenter, or taking away the samples with drug reactions for the next stage of the experiment, it is very easy to live in a foreign country where people are not familiar.

but--

"Didn't you make any follow-up consumption after that?" Liu Ruosong said, "Didn't they come to you again?"

Lu Li shook his head.

"I don't know, but probably not." Lu Li said, "Not long after that, something happened to my family. I was going abroad on a postgraduate exchange. Only the tuition fee was exempted, and the school was not responsible for the living expenses. I couldn't afford to go abroad at that time. life, and returned home urgently.”

Lu Li sighed as he spoke, "I didn't even have time to go through the formalities of withdrawing from school. After returning to China, I was busy with family affairs, and school affairs simply fell through, and I didn't finish my studies."

"When did this happen?" Liu Ruosong asked.

"It's been several years." Lu Li said, "I don't remember clearly, there must be... four or five years?"

Liu Ruosong understood.

Perhaps it was because of Lu Li's sudden disappearance, so there was no contact with this person, and he was regarded as "death" as a matter of course.

According to Liu Ruosong's guess, when Joe Eden first started experimenting on humans, he must have started from the safest places around him—black households, vagrants, stowaways, etc. He carried out the first batch of experiments on these people. Unfortunately, all the medicine experiments failed.

So he began to cast a net to the wider waters. Lu Li should be the first to be selected. At that time, Joe Aiden's hand hadn't been so long, and he couldn't magically trace the whereabouts of all the sample sources. .So much so that Lu Li just left suddenly and disappeared from their surveillance.

Perhaps it was also because the death rate was too high, so they guessed Lu Li's failure as a matter of course.

Is this fate, Liu Ruosong thought, whether it is Lu Li or Fu Yan, they were caught in the net of Joe Eden's conspiracy under extremely coincidental circumstances, but they escaped from all of this due to even more dramatic coincidences, and finally died Converging on one point.

How small is this probability? Liu Ruosong thought, the probability of Lu Li and Fu Yan, two people who have no intersection, meeting at the same point may not be much higher than the probability of a comet falling on the doorstep.

Sure enough, there is a hand behind this, pushing them on the right path.

Fu Yan's restart is the same as when he returned to the high-speed rail station in City S countless times.

Liu Ruosong covered his face with his hands, and suddenly smiled.

Lu Li was taken aback by him. He didn't know what he suddenly thought of. He didn't feel too good about asking, so he patted him on the shoulder hesitantly and called him, "Mr. Liu?"

"Thank you for today's matter." Liu Ruosong said.

Lu Li proved Fu Yan's conjecture to a certain extent. Next, he needed to find information related to the medical organization. While confirming this conjecture thoroughly, he could try to find another needle in the sea of ​​people.

"No...you're welcome." Lu Li watched his expression worriedly, "What are you laughing at?"

"Nothing." Liu Ruosong said, "Smile and answer."

Lu Li was confused, but Liu Ruosong had no intention of explaining, he waved his hand, turned his head and left.

At this moment, Liu Ruosong suddenly became sure that he and Fu Yan were not actually walking on a hopeless Möbius loop—the fate in the dark is indeed cruel and ruthless, but it is indeed trying to push them to go. Go in the right direction.

He suddenly remembered what Fu Yan said to him, as if at this moment, he finally understood what Fu Yan meant.

Being sober is indeed cruel, but as long as they are not completely lost in pain, they can always find the most correct path in the fog.

"If only I could be like you." Liu Ruosong complained softly to himself, "I also want to have the ability to remain absolutely calm in the whirlpool."

His complaint was light and low, but his tone was rare and relaxed, with a hint of coquetry mixed in.

But at this moment, the person who can listen to his coquettish words is not here—he is still stuck in the gap of time, waiting to wake up in the long and empty darkness.

So Liu Ruosong's complaint was scattered in the wind very lightly, without being caught by anyone.
