Hardcore crisis

Hearing Boyce's words, not only Eddie, but also Lu Yuan in the other world sneered a few times. It's not surprising that Boyce guessed this. Since Eddie was able to kill the FBI, it showed that he was not from the government, and he could produce NZT, so it was not surprising to guess that he was a user of NZT. .

After speaking the words of appeal, Boyce seemed to understand Eddie's purpose and slowly opened his mouth to explain.

It turns out that he is also a user of NZT, but he got the drug much earlier than Eddie. As early as more than a year ago, he was just an ordinary person who was involved in something due to an accident. , and has been entangled with NZT ever since.

According to Boyce, NZT is a drug developed by Dr. Karis over more than 20 years. However, at the beginning, the efficacy of NZT was not valued by funders. Not only was it not effective, but it was also The side effects are very serious. People who take a few pills will suffer brain damage and go crazy.

Under this background, funders withdrew their funds one after another, but Dr. Karis still did not give up, and finally succeeded in developing the efficacy of NZT to the third phase.

In this third period, although NZT still has side effects, as long as you continue to take the medicine, it will not be reflected in the body for a while, but it can bring amazing special effects to the human body.

After being hit by the previous blow, Dr. Karis did not rush to launch NZT, just because he knew that such side effects would not show up in the short term, but it would still not be able to pass the FDA review, and it would still not be funded by those rich people. What's the point? Who would want to eat it for a year and then get sick and die?

Even if the brain's potential will be fully developed during this period, people will become quite smart.

To address the side effects of NZT. Dr. Karis began to select clinical trial subjects and secretly distributed NZT to these trial subjects. If you were caught conducting clinical trials without approval, you would face decades in prison. After Dr. Karis personally sent the drug several times, he did not dare to take any more risks. Instead, he selected several people to serve as assistants.

Beuys is one of them.

After taking NZT and experiencing the magical effects brought by NZT, Boyce was deeply involved in it and could not extricate himself. He followed the doctor's order and began to take over the work. A small amount of NZT is administered, and the user's physical condition is recorded at the same time. as clinical trial data.

"So...the side effects have been resolved?" Upon hearing this, Eddie suddenly asked.

"...Yes, the side effects have been resolved."

Boyce replied that just because the side effects were successfully addressed, clinical trial data were no longer needed. That's why he said last night that Wesson was no longer needed to ship.

"Take me to Dr. Karis." Eddie immediately asked to go to Dr. Karis. The side effects of NZT were solved, which meant that he would not have to bear such tragic consequences, no matter who took the medicine. It's the same person who takes this very seriously.

Nothing more was said. Boyce began to give directions. Along the road he pointed, Eddie drove for about an hour and stopped at a farm in the suburbs.

"The Doctor is in there."

Boyce stepped out of the car. Walking towards the door of the house, Eddie held the gun vigilantly, followed closely, watching Boyce skillfully open the door, and looked back at him with a smile.

This house seems to be about twenty years old. When you walk in, you can always smell a musty smell. The decoration in the hall of the house is also very old-fashioned and has the style of the 1980s. , the biscuits placed on the table were actually moldy, and they had not been touched for an unknown period of time.

"The doctor is used to living alone, so he doesn't have the energy to clean up."

Boyce explained, seeing Eddie frowning.

"Come with me, the doctor should be in the basement now."

This old house obviously cannot afford the space for pharmaceutical experiments, so it is obvious to move the equipment to the basement. Eddie didn't find it very strange and watched as Boyce opened the basement door and walked slowly down.

The light in the basement is not bright, just like an old incandescent lamp, emitting a weak light. Boyce has been here countless times and is very familiar with the situation here. Even if the light is not bright, he is used to it. Go down.

Eddie first let his eyes adjust to the darkness inside, then slowly walked down the steps while looking around. Originally, a basement like this shouldn't be too big, but when Eddie looked around, he immediately discovered that the basement had been expanded and its area had increased by more than ten times. Under the dim light, he couldn't even see the end.

"The doctor has remodeled this place. Behind each door is a separate laboratory."

As he explained, Boyce pushed open a door and shouted: "Doctor, are you there?"

The light behind the door was still a little dim. After Boyce walked in, he shouted several times but got no response. He asked strangely: "Why isn't the doctor here today? Is there something going on?"

"Not here?"

Eddie frowned and followed closely and walked in: "Then where did he go?"

"Boom!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as Eddie stepped into the door, Boyce suddenly dodged and rushed to the right. There was a "boom" sound, and there was a door on the right. He just pushed it open and closed it immediately.

"Snapped!"

Eddie's reaction was fast enough. As soon as Boyce made any move, he shot immediately without even thinking.

Unfortunately, the lights here were dim, and he didn't see the secret door. He only had time to shoot Boyce on the right side, and then lost the opportunity. At the same time, at the moment he fired, the door that came in closed automatically and silently. With a sudden snap, the metal vibration that came told Eddie that this was something that could not be destroyed by manpower.

"It's such a pity, I was just a little bit away from dying here."

The dim light was suddenly replaced by a bit of dazzling white light, and Boyce's proud laughter spread from all directions, making it impossible to tell where he was.

The room, which is about twenty square meters, is empty. The floor is a hard cement floor, with a transparent glass on both sides. Boyce is standing in the glass room on the right.

Eddie gave Boyce a cold look and did not fire. Instead, he stepped forward and touched the glass wall. He suddenly understood that this was bulletproof glass. No wonder Boyce dared to stand inside.

"Don't waste your efforts. It's impossible to break this bulletproof glass with the gun in your hand."

Boyce said calmly.

"You're not Boyce!"

Eddie didn't try to shoot at the bulletproof glass with his gun. After glancing around, he slowly returned his gaze and focused on Boyce, and suddenly said decisively.

"Oh?" Boyce was stunned.

"You are Dr. Caris, right?" Eddie said calmly without falling into the trap of anger.

"..."

Boyce was silent for a while, then slowly smiled and said: "You are right, I am Karis. It is not your fault. With the asymmetry of information, you must not have thought of it before."

"Yes, what I didn't expect was how Dr. Karis could be so young. It was precisely because of your youth that I believed what you said and didn't think much about it."

"Yes, no one would have predicted how I could be so young."

Karis smiled: "NZT-48, this code name is obvious, it is not just a random numerical code name."

"So in order to prevent me from thinking too much, you said earlier that Dr. Karis is constantly updating NZT and recording patient data in clinical trials, so I will think that 48 is the continuously updated code name." Eddie said.

"I'm not lying to you. I have indeed been continuously improving the effects of NZT over the years, but there are some things I haven't said. I am not only developing NZT that activates the brain's potential, but also can reshape DNA fragments that are missing due to complete transcription. NZT enhances the speed of cell division and widely improves the ability to repair damaged tissue."

He opened his hands and was very proud: "Now I have succeeded. Not only have the side effects of NZT-48 been suppressed, but also NZT-44 has been successful at the same time. Look, am I strong? If I tell you, I I am already seventy years old, would you believe it?" (To be continued~^~)
