Rebel Demon King

Chapter 353: Cheng Mo's Summer

Cheng Mo walked out of the People's Hospital, the plastic curtains on the porch were rattled, the security guards in khaki uniforms were standing in the yard directing traffic, and the cars that wanted to come in were lined up in a long line waiting anxiously under the dazzling sunlight All the people walking towards the hospital had worries written on their faces. Negative emotions gathered into a torrent in the white building, just like the smell of Lysol permeated everywhere.

Standing in the shadow of the concrete canopy, Cheng Mo looked up at the sun that once made him dare not go out in summer. The feeling of dizziness and vainness went away from him. At this moment, he only felt that this body was no longer The burden of the soul, it is full of tenacity and vitality.

He jumped down the steps lightly, as if he had gone through a short flight, the corners of his raised mouth and eyebrows were raised to outline a smile.

This weird behavior caused Cheng Mo to look back at many people, but he didn't care about it.

Although he had already felt the changes in his body a few days ago, the release of the medical examination form at this moment made him completely relieved. Although his heart disease was not completely cured and his life span was still not as long as that of ordinary people, his Now at least he can live like an ordinary person, and more importantly, he has temporarily escaped the pressing of death, so he doesn't have to wake up in the middle of the night, worrying that he won't see the sun tomorrow morning.

The ontology enhancement increased the number of red blood cells in his blood, and also mutated the erythropoietin receptor (EPOR) gene, which increased the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood by 25% to 50%.This means that his blood can carry more oxygen than the average person, greatly reducing the load on the heart.

Not only that, although he has never exercised, his originally thin and thin body also showed a healthy firmness, which is the reason why the muscle fibers are densely packed in the body, and the carrying ratio of the ACTN3 gene that can increase explosive power is now It is as high as 80% that only top athletes can achieve.

Another gene called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which mainly affects the cardiopulmonary function of the human body, and thus affects the aerobic endurance quality of the human body, has reached 30%.

More importantly, his heart has also been strengthened. Although the root cause of the single ventricle has not been resolved, the increase in the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood has greatly reduced the burden on the heart. In addition, the enlargement and strengthening of the heart has also improved the blood supply capacity. At this time, his heart rate has dropped from the original 165 beats per minute to 95 beats per minute at the level of ordinary people.

This also means that he can finally exercise like a normal person. If his heart is normal, his current physical fitness should have reached the level of a national athlete.
But even now, Cheng Mo is very satisfied. From a boy who was judged by a doctor that he would not survive, even running, to a man who is able to exercise now and can live to at least three or 40 years old, there is no reason for Cheng Mo Not feeling relaxed and happy.

Cheng Mo rolled up the physical examination report that only athletes would do, held it in the palm of his hand, and walked out of the gate of the People's Hospital.

Then he started jogging in the 37-degree heat of Star City, feeling his heart beating faster in his chest, and every cell in his body was breathing freely. Soon, his shirt and pants were soaked with sweat, and the canvas shoes under his feet became pale. It was scorching hot, and the medical examination form in his hand was also wrinkled subconsciously.

He ran along Jiefang West Road towards the Xiangjiang River. He felt the joy of healthy life in the surprised sight of passers-by, in the jagged shadows of high-rise buildings, and in the relentless pursuit of the sun.

He was panting, boiling, his mind went blank, and then all kinds of thoughts flooded
"Finally, I don't have to envy others. It turns out that running is such a feeling. All the flowers, all the traffic, all the noisy people passing by along the way, in my running footsteps, are just a fleeting glimpse of fragments. When human beings run forward with all their strength When you are flying, you won’t feel lonely at all, maybe it’s the first time for ordinary people to fly, that’s how it feels!” Cheng Mo thought in the fiery airflow he created by running.

He ran westwards faster and faster until he saw the sparkling Xiangjiang River, giant statues standing on the head of Juzizhou like a giant ship, the blue sky and the indigo-colored Yuelu Mountain were shining, he crossed the road and ran to Guangming. Under the mottled camphor trees, a cool river breeze mixed with the aroma of leaves blows, refreshing.

Cheng Mo put his hands on his knees, bent down and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva to moisten his thirsty throat. He walked slowly along the river bank alone. one year.

He remembered when he came home from the hospital with his father when he was a child. At that time, they still lived in the courtyard of the Academy of Social Sciences. In front of the old red brick house was a large green lawn, and children kicked on it every day. playing football.

His father led him by, and he turned his head to stare at the group of screaming and laughing children. The thumping of the ball was like a call of joy. He asked enviously, "Daddy, why can't I talk to other children?" How about children?"

The father turned his head, glanced at the children running on the lawn, laughing and playing football, and answered him: "Because you are born different, you are destined to walk on a road to resist loneliness"

Cheng Mo felt a little sorry that he only remembered what his father had said to him at this moment. Human memory is really an unreliable thing. He always forgets the kindness of others quickly, but those unintentional injuries can be deeply engraved in his heart. .

He jumped onto the high platform on the embankment, and the chirping of cicadas formed a melodious rhythm in the trembling leaves in the river wind. The river was rushing, the rubber wheels of the car rubbed against the hot concrete road, and there was a couple in the Starbucks across the street. Sitting by the floor-to-ceiling windows to take a group photo, the melody of summer echoed in his mind.

He tore the medical examination report rolled up in his hand into pieces, and then threw it into the rolling Xiangjiang River where he could not turn back.

The white fragments were blown around by the wind, and some of them rolled up on his somewhat messy hair. Cheng Mo reached out and grabbed the fragments, put them in his palm and blew them towards the never-ending river.

"But don't be afraid, there will always be someone who can see that you are different, who can see that you are shining in loneliness, and then come to hug you." The father stroked his hair and said softly.

Cheng Mo watched the debris flow into the distance, when his mobile phone rang, a phone with a hidden number, according to Cheng Mo's original character, he would definitely hang up without hesitation, but today he hesitated, After watching for a while, he pressed the answer button, and a cute and sweet voice rang out from the phone: "Little brother, are you dating online? I'm a loli voice!"

Cheng Mo knew it was Yan Yitong as soon as he heard it. He said "oh", but didn't continue talking, nor hung up the phone.

"Little brother, speak up!"

"say what."

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No."

Then the phone rang with music accompaniment and Yan Yitong imitating the earthy video Emperor Gao Fei's deadly rap: "Yeah! Yo! Yo! I miss you, you miss me. Do you like me, do you like me? Be careful I'm your daughter friend"

It's a pity that people like Cheng Mo who don't have internet popularity can't get to Yan Yitong's point at all, and hang up the phone before finishing listening, but in an instant the somewhat noisy default music rang, Cheng Mo took a look, This time it was still a hidden number, so Cheng Mo pressed the phone again, and then it was a battle of endurance between Cheng Mo and the indomitable Yan Yitong.

Yan Yitong kept calling, Cheng Mo kept pressing, when Cheng Mo walked back to the pedestrian street, Yan Yitong finally gave up, changed the phone settings, no longer hiding the number, Cheng Mo pressed the answer.

"Hey! I was just joking with you, trying to make you laugh. Why are you so over the top and keep hanging up on my phone!"

"Because your jokes aren't very funny."

"Cut! Then what are you talking about as a joke?"

"Hmm~! A group of great scientists were playing hide and seek in heaven after their death. When it was Einstein's turn to catch people, he counted to 100 and opened his eyes. He saw that everyone was hiding, only Newton was still standing there.

Einstein walked over and said, 'Newton, I've got you. '

Newton: 'No, you didn't catch Newton. '

Einstein: 'You are not Newton who are you? '
Newton: 'Look what's under my feet? '
Einstein looked down and saw Newton standing on a square floor tile with a length and width of one meter, puzzled.

Newton: 'This is a one-square-meter square under my feet, and I stand on it as a Newton/square meter, so what you grasp is not Newton, but what you grasp.'”

Yan Yitong on the other end of the phone was a little confused, and asked very calmly: "Then who did Einstein catch?"

"Pascal, of course."

"Hahahahaha~!~! This joke is so funny!" Yan Yitong's very appreciative smirk sounded over the phone.

Cheng Mo said: "Actually, I think this joke is mediocre, but it is interesting if it can be extended indefinitely, such as volts/amperes/ohms, so don't force yourself to find it funny."

"Uh, let's change the subject! Where are you now?"

"Walking street."

"Alone?"

"Ok!"

"Then wait, Fu Yuanzhuo and I will come to pick you up right away, we will have dinner together, then go to the Internet cafe in the afternoon, and go to Juzizhou to watch the music festival in the evening. Many stars are coming today, Xu Wei! Chen Li! Mao is not easy! Grass East."

"I don't listen to rock and folk much"

"It's okay! Feel it! Actually, I don't listen to much, but the atmosphere of the music festival is quite good. It's good to get in touch with different things, don't you think?" Yan Yitong paused for a while and said loudly He said like cheering himself up: "Well! I will also study hard and try to understand your cold jokes completely and unmistakably one day!"

"Actually, it's okay if you don't understand. I don't like to tell jokes."

Yan Yitong said with a "hee hee" smile: "That's right, cold jokes or something, it really ruins our image as a great genius Cheng Mo, and you won't be able to walk in the rivers and lakes aloofly in the future!"
