born criminal

When a person is about to wake up, it is the most relaxing time for a person. Yang Zhou felt that the boulder pressing on his consciousness gradually shrank and became lighter and lighter until it became a speck of dust.This process made him comfortable like warm water, even though it only lasted for a short two seconds.

He opened his eyes, and above his head was the ceiling inlaid with small oval lights, and the cold white lights pierced down like ice cones.Yang Zhou wanted to rub his eyes, but he didn't know that his right wrist seemed to have twice as much flesh and blood as it used to be.

With a little effort, he raised his right hand to his eyes, staring blankly at the circle of silver shackles and the iron chains that tied it into the wall.The shackles are three centimeters wide and five millimeters thick, and the buckles of the iron chain are even as thick as a thumb. The reddish-brown rust is like old blood.

Yang Zhou knew at a glance that he couldn't break free with his own strength, so he simply didn't try in vain.He propped his body up and sat up, staring at the air in a daze for a while, as if his soul was still on the way and hadn't arrived yet.

This room is very small, about twelve square meters, and you can see the end at a glance.There is a bed, a large wardrobe, and a folding chair in the room, and there is a small half-open door not far from the bed. According to the glimpsed scene, it should be a washroom and a toilet.

After resting for a while, Yang Zhou got out of bed and took a few steps tentatively.The chains that locked him were neither long nor short, just enough for him to move around the bed, and there was always a step away from the door and even the dusty wardrobe.

Yangzhou was not reconciled, he tried his best to touch the doorknob, but the chain stretched straight, leaving a circle of red marks on his wrist.He refused to relax like a tug-of-war, as if he was competing with someone, and after a while he shook his hand violently, hitting the air with his fist.

"Chen Jian!"

The angry shout turned a few times in the winding underground passage, like a stone falling on the lake, it quickly disappeared.

Yang Zhou called out to him while checking his belongings, and found that the communicator disguised as a watch was missing, and the small signal transmitter sewn on his cell phone and clothes was also missing, feeling angry and helpless.He still doesn't know that the situation outside has undergone earth-shaking changes during the few hours he was comatose, but he just thinks of the B75 he saw before coma, and he feels worried and uneasy.

Amidst the turbulent emotions, Yangzhou could not notice the passage of time, maybe an hour had passed, or maybe only 10 minutes, and finally there was a sound of slow footsteps outside.

He tensed his muscles unconsciously, staring closely at the square piece of glass on the dark yellow door, assuming he was ready for battle—then he saw an unexpected face.

It took Yangzhou two seconds to remember who this person was.

"Are you awake?" Dr. Simon benefited from Yangzhou's surprised expression, he opened the door and walked in, with a sly smile rippled on his slack face.

"It's you?" Yangzhou remembered this person. They had chatted a few words in the bar. At that time, this old man gave him the impression of a crazy drunkard. He never expected to meet here again.

The person in front of him was clear-eyed, hale and hearty, wearing a blue coat, completely different from what he remembered.Yang Zhou looked at old Simon without saying a word, and quickly figured out the joints. His voice changed a little because of excitement, "So it's you! Are you in charge of the experiment?"

Dr. Simon was also observing Yangzhou, with the kindness and compassion typical of an elderly person.He showed a gentle smile and praised: "Mr. Yang is really smart."

"Young and beautiful," Dr. Simon covered his mouth mischievously, "Don't get me wrong... No wonder Chen Jian is so fascinated by you."

Yang Zhou's mind was in a mess. Hearing Chen Jian's name, he seemed to pull out the thread from his entangled thoughts, and asked, "Where is Chen Jian? What does he want to do? What does it mean to lock me up here?"

"Don't worry." Dr. Simon was still unhurried, "You young people just lack patience. But this momentum is really enviable..." He murmured something in a low voice, and comforted Yang Zhou, "He will Come to see you."

Yang Zhou shook his right hand, and the chain rattled on the light blue tiled floor, "I want to go out, can you help me untie it?"

"No. Otherwise, why would he lock you up?" Dr. Simon was amused by his own words, and couldn't stop laughing.

Yangzhou took a few deep breaths, secretly telling himself not to rush.He sat down on the edge of the bed and asked, "What is B75?"

"An artificially modified bacterium."

Seeing that old Simon didn't hide it, and that he was a lot more serious when talking about research, Yang Zhou seized the opportunity to question him endlessly.

He was really anxious, and his worries were revealed in his eyes, as if he had condensed into a solid body, with some kind of magical power, wherever he looked, even the dust stopped dancing.

"That's it." Dr. Simon concluded calmly, "This bacterium has lived in the human intestines and stomachs for centuries. We have genetically modified it, embedded the criminal's gene sequence in the original DNA, and removed it from the original DNA. Highly active telomerase is extracted from cancer cells—do you know the characteristics of cancer cells?"

He seems to be asking students.Yang Zhou moistened his throat, but his voice was still dry: "Infinite Split."

Simon nodded in satisfaction.There are many wrinkles at the corners of his mouth, and the slightest curvature is infinitely magnified.Yangzhou found it dazzling, and asked coldly: "How can you be sure that B75 can integrate the genetic sequence of criminals into the DNA of ordinary people? Under the natural state, the probability of such a mutation is almost zero."

"The first is the quantity. B75 can divide infinitely, and the probability of successful infection will naturally increase, but more importantly-do you know Agrobacterium agrobacterium? Scientists discovered a long time ago that it can infect dicotyledons and gymnosperms in a natural state, All in all, Agrobacterium has given me a lot of help and inspiration."

Yang Zhou moved his lips, gave up asking about the details of scientific research that he didn't understand, and said sharply, "Why do you want to study this thing? You know it will bring disaster to human beings."

Dr. Simon was not annoyed, and replied lightly: "What do you think?"

Yangzhou was silent.

After a while, Old Simon looked at his watch and asked Yangzhou if he wanted something to eat.

Yangzhou shook his head and said he wanted to see Chen Jian.

"It's already seven o'clock in the evening, I'd better give you a lunch box." Old Simon stood up and dragged the folding chair to a corner that Yangzhou couldn't reach, as if suddenly remembering a trivial matter, he wrote lightly: " You don't know yet, Base No. [-] failed to become independent, and Bernard was arrested."

Yang Zhou was so shocked that he couldn't sit still, he asked in disbelief, "So fast?"

Old Simon smiled wryly, and without elaborating on him, waved his hand and left the room.

The fierce battle at the gate of the No. [-] base, and the subsequent news of Bernard's arrest, seemed like a basin of ice water, instantly extinguishing the upsurge of the independence of several other bases.The photos of stumped limbs and broken arms are shocking, and the tragedy of mantising a car makes people despair. For a moment, all the born criminals are hoarse, like a child who just learned that there is no Santa Claus in this world, and temporarily closes himself in the face of the cruel truth. , refuse to listen, refuse to believe.

Douglas was lying halfway on the large leather sofa, and the holographic projection in front of him was broadcasting the news of Bernard's arrest. In the video, Bernard held his head high, wearing handcuffs, but with extraordinary bearing, smiling and nodding at the camera frequently.

The video looped three times before being shut down by Douglas.He didn't like Bernard very much, but at the moment, he couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.Douglas has always felt that it is unreliable for Fang Xing to pin his hopes on this bearded man, but Chen Jian's plan is also difficult to succeed, so when Fang Xing asked him to cooperate, he did not hesitate to stand on Fang Xing's side. side.It wasn't a choice made by reason, but Douglas didn't regret it.Even when he saw the confrontation between the No. [-] base and the United Nations forces, he had some unrealistic hopes, and he and Fang Xing had red wine to celebrate.

It was a beautiful night.However, it all ended too quickly, and the army was defeated, and it was true.I don't know how sad Fang Xing is at this time.

Douglas was thinking about this when the doorbell rang suddenly, and the intelligent system announced Fang Xing's name.

His heart, which was overwhelmed by the bad news, suddenly jumped, and he jumped up vigorously, rushed over and opened the door.

"We're done." Fang Xing's eyes were empty, and he walked into the living room like a puppet, fell down on the sofa and covered his face.

Douglas poured him a hot drink and sat beside him without saying a word.

After a while, Fang Xing said in a hoarse voice, "Bernar didn't send anyone pretending to be a civilian to attack at all, it was counted by the United Nations."

Douglas said "hmm".

Fang Xing's breathing became more and more rapid, he suddenly slapped the coffee table heavily, and said with red eyes: "It's all Chen Jian's fault! He hid B75, otherwise we will give half to Bernard, we won't lose! "

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Douglas' back, and he hurriedly asked, "Berna knows the existence of B75?"

Fang Xing murmured, his momentum weakened a little, but he was still stubborn, "I mentioned it to him."

"How can this be done? If he tells UNPO—" Douglas paused, and controlled the unconsciously raised voice, "wouldn't we be exposed?"

"What are you afraid of?" Fang Xing had had enough of everyone's weak attitude today, and sneered disdainfully, "B75 was originally used to threaten the United Nations, and it will be exposed sooner or later."

Douglas hesitated: "However, I met him in the government building today, and I feel that he seems to want to give up the plan."

Before Douglas finished speaking, Fang Xing interrupted eagerly: "Impossible, he won't give up!"

"Maybe." Douglas twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes darkened, "After all, you know him better than me."

This sentence was like a sharp arrow piercing the heart, making Fang Xing suddenly frightened. "If he wants to give up, it's only because—" He didn't know who he was convincing, and kept muttering, "I won't let him give up, and now that Bernard has been arrested, it's too late to turn around. "

Chen Jian didn't know that someone was guessing his thoughts.The failure of Base No. [-]'s independence affected the parade at Base No. [-]. The team suddenly disintegrated, some broke down and cried, and some cursed Colonel Luther. The chaos made him busy for a long time.

At [-] o'clock in the evening, Chen Jian returned to the villa exhausted, thinking about the sleepy Yangzhou, and wanted to ask Andrew to cook something to take with him, but before he could speak, he was held in the head by a gun.

"Andrew, what are you doing!" D3 exclaimed, "Put down the gun!"

"Where is Mr. Yang?" Andrew stared at Chen Jian, and the bullet clicked into the chamber, "What did you do to him?"

"Andrew!" A piece of metal at the top of the D3 was lifted, and a machine gun came up. He issued a final warning to Andrew, "Stop your dangerous behavior!"

After the initial surprise, Chen Jian quickly recovered his composure.He couldn't remember if Yangzhou made some small movements before he fell into a coma, but he wasn't too scared, and smiled lightly, "Did he send you a message?"

Andrew said seriously: "I want to tell Mr. Jeffrey that you are detaining UN officials."

"I advise you not to act rashly." Chen Jian said, "Don't report to UNPO, otherwise I will kill him."

"You—" Andrew couldn't see any emotional fluctuations from Chen Jian's face. He was a robot after all, and his actions were restricted by this theoretical possibility.He looked at the other party angrily, and the program ran at high speed. After half a minute, he only asked palely: "Didn't you say you like him?"

"Yes." Chen Jian's tone was casual and frank, "It depends on whether you believe it or not, and whether you dare to bet."

Andrew and him looked at each other for a moment, but finally lost.He put down the gun, left Chen Jian with a vicious and threatening expression, and then rushed out of the villa.

"Scared me to death." D3's tone fluctuated exaggeratedly.He glanced at the gate and asked, "Where will Andrew go?"

"I can't control it anymore." Chen Jian pushed back the machine gun on D3's head, and joked: "Don't think about it all day, people don't care to play with you."

D3 snorted twice in dissatisfaction, followed Chen Jian into the kitchen, "How is Mr. Yang?"

"I haven't seen it yet." Chen Jian rolled up his sleeves and was about to cook, when he suddenly smiled for no reason, "I'm probably angry."
