Rebirth 09: Synthetic Male God

Chapter 1056 The Last Bit of Time

At the same time, in Kowloon, Hong Kong, at the International Trade Center.

The part of this skyscraper above the 103rd floor belongs to the Riccarton Hotel.

But the two middle floors of the hotel have been closed since half a year ago.

Half a year later, most people have forgotten this change. The elevator numbers have changed from 103 to 116, but the top floor of the building was actually 118.

Except for regular guests, few people would notice that two floors were missing. But even if they did, they would not think too much about it and would just regard it as some kind of change in the planning.

This is where Zhou Rui and Omar had their secret transaction, a little-known "life extension treatment center."

At the beginning, Zhou Rui gave Omar five places in exchange for some things that were not convenient to be priced in terms of "money".

After the announcement of 100 "commercial life extension" rules a few days ago, the value of these five places is still increasing.

In this world, besides the many people who can come up with billions but are unknown to the world, there are also many people who "cannot" come up with billions because they are known to the world.

And what they grasp is more complex, and their desires are more greedy.

The best system is to put "public power" in a cage.

So, who's outside the cage?
A week ago, fifty scientists with great potential and meritorious service in the secret front who were detained by the United States returned to their homeland on a flight.

Zhou Rui also kept his promise and approved the Hong Kong Center to provide life-extending treatment for five people.

Zhou Rui didn't even know the names of these five people, nor did he care. He only knew that the longer these people "outside the cage" lived, the better, and the more energy they had, the better.
Even these people, having tasted the sweetness, would contact him to identify themselves and show their loyalty.
Hong Kong also held many celebrations for the New Year tonight. The skyscrapers were filled with tourists and citizens, and the scene was colorful and different from the fireworks in Shanghai.

A white woman who looked less than sixty years old, wearing a bathrobe, stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, shaking a glass of red wine in her hand.

She prefers the night scene in New York, but this place is not bad either.
Of course, more importantly, the life-extending treatment here made her unable to stop.
A week ago, she was still a 70-year-old woman with greatly degraded functions, and she was furious because she lost to the fat blond man in last year's "big competition".

Now, her face looks closer to her sixty years old, and the changes in her body have recovered more.
Organ function, hormones, digestive ability, metabolism.
Even my brain feels much clearer.

She even recovered some functions that had been missing for twenty years and became like a normal woman.

No one can resist aging, and no one can refuse youth.

The feeling of regaining youth was enough to drive anyone crazy. It had been a long time since she had experienced the joy of sex.

Fortunately, she had the foresight to bring her own "playmates" to Hong Kong, two handsome blond men in their early twenties. After she received the life extension treatment, she never left the hotel and was immersed in happiness every day.

She drank the red wine in the glass, and the slight drunkenness further stimulated her greed.
Omar really did the right thing this time.

Whoever wants to take the position of "Director" can take it. Anyway, he can't command anyone, and he will even be unable to move an inch. The failure of the lunar exploration a few hours ago is just the most insignificant part of the mess he faces. He will have a lot of troubles.
Now, she wants to work hard for another thing.
She wanted to live longer, or even escape death.

As long as that amazing young man is still alive and can break through various amazing technologies, and as long as we have the interests that he is interested in, this is not impossible.
Under this premise, everything in the "cage" is a bargaining chip that she is willing to exchange.

If the young man needed it, she could even put the Ministry of Defense's information on his desk.

Of course, the other party doesn't need it now, but it doesn't matter, there are still many things in the "cage". It is the majestic body of a once overlord. Although it is no longer healthy, it is fat enough.

"Baby, what are you doing?"

A figure hugged her from behind, the woman turned around, it was her partner in benefits, or in legal terms her husband.

"Looking at the night view. This city is really nice. I heard before I came here that C** had some bad plans to be implemented here."

The husband behind him frowned and said, "It's better not to do that. It might affect this longevity center and even make that young man unhappy."

"Of course, I have asked someone to put pressure on them. Not only this, but there are also a few other conspiracies against this country. There is already enough resentment towards the West. We should enhance friendship and make up for mistakes instead of continuing to make enemies."

Unfortunately, she did not get in touch with the other party directly, as Omar took this relationship very seriously.
In fact, she would rather be the one standing in front of that person to negotiate. She can offer many "cage" gifts.

"Where are your kittens?"

The two have always been playing their own games. What binds them together is interests, not feelings, let alone loyalty.

The husband behind her smiled and said, "They went to Disneyland, and I wanted to find you tonight to reminisce about the feeling of youth." The woman turned around and hugged her husband: "Then you have to work harder, Charlie and Brighton are very strong."

The husband smiled and said, "Please, I'm only 20 years younger, don't be too harsh."

"Cherish this night. Tomorrow when we return to the United States, we will have to restrain ourselves. We may even have to put on makeup in public to deliberately look older so that others won't notice us."

The two hugged and kissed each other in front of the floor-to-ceiling window.

I don't know when fireworks appeared outside the window, and the time has come to 00:00.

The old year has passed.

The old times seemed to be
------

Across the ocean, Florida.

In a hospital, Hansen Doyle slowly woke up.

What I saw was a strange ceiling
His body was full of tubes and surrounded by dripping instruments.

Hansen turned his head and saw a fat man with naturally curly hair next to him. He looked very tired, and the lipstick on his lips was a little smudged.

This makes the other person's lips look thicker than sausages.
"Hansen, you're awake! I'll call a doctor for you!"

"No, no need to let me wake up first, what time is it now?"

The naturally curly fat man said, "It's just January 1st. Although the time differences vary from place to place, it's already the next morning in the Eastern Hemisphere, but we just passed midnight. Happy New Year, Hansen."

"Really? I was unconscious for more than ten hours. What happened afterwards?"

The naturally curly fat man hesitated for a while, but still said:
"The Eye of Artemis has basically confirmed that the door cannot be opened due to physical deformation. It is 380,000 kilometers away. Apart from issuing instructions one after another, there is nothing we can do. Even if it is just to open it with our hands."

"NASA hasn't announced it yet, but the media has already determined that the lunar exploration has failed. However, I mean yesterday's time was special, and soon everyone's attention was focused on the New Year's Eve."

"Also, I heard that the guy in WH is extremely dissatisfied with this and wants to completely reorganize the aerospace industry, dismantle NASA, and shut down all ongoing projects."

"I'm sorry that the others really don't have time to come. Everyone is so anxious. In fact, I also came here ten minutes ago. I always feel that if there is any hope, it must be with you. Dawson, do you have any backup plan that others don't know about? Maybe we can still open that damn door."

Hansen sat up, digested it for a while and said tiredly:

"No, no. Every gram of the lunar probe is precious. We don't have enough mass and complexity to deal with a low-probability event that shouldn't happen. If the power of Keryne is not enough to knock the door open, we really have no other options."

The naturally curly fat guy suddenly felt that Hansen was a little different
More pale and listless than before.
“What did the hospital check on me?”

The fat man with natural curly hair said, "I just asked. At first they thought you were just old and malnourished, but you didn't wake up after a few hours of routine treatment, so they did a comprehensive examination and are now waiting for the results. Do you need me to call a doctor? It's late, but there should be someone on duty at the end of the corridor."

Hansen shook his head. "No, my body knows that I don't have any more time to waste in the hospital. I have to leave here."

Looking at the loose and leaky hospital gown on his body, Hansen felt a little headache. If his physical condition was discovered, it would not be so easy for him to leave.
He didn't want to waste even an hour doing one last thing.

So he turned and looked at the fat guy with naturally curly hair.

Although she had strange lipstick and almost long hair, she was actually wearing men's clothing.
The naturally curly fat man had a bad feeling and covered his chest and said, "Hansen, I just announced that I was gay, but my sexual orientation has not changed. Do you remember? I told you."

Half an hour later, several doctors rushed into the ward anxiously.

"Oh my God! It's a miracle that he's still alive! He must be transferred to the ICU immediately!"

"Was the person who was inspected before a pig?"

However, after opening the door, there was only a frightened fat man with curly hair wearing a hospital gown.

The fat man smiled awkwardly, as if he was wearing a tights of poor quality.

The doctor roared:
"Who is this pig with lipstick on! Reports show the patient weighs only 94 pounds!"
