Rebirth 1958: My Home is in Nanluoguxiang

If you were given two choices, one being immortality and the other being everlasting life, which one would you choose?

Only children will do multiple-choice questions, adults want all of them.

So what if you have to choose between the two?

I guess women would choose immortality, and men would choose immortality.

The former values ​​eternal youth, but for women, youthful and beautiful looks are always their weak point.

The latter values ​​immortality. Men who desire wealth and power fear the most that they will die but their money will not be spent, and their wife, children, car, house and money will all become someone else's.

Chang Zhengyang is also an ordinary person, he is also a man. The fundamental reason why he is still hiding in Yanjing and not going out to waste time is that he is afraid of death!

It’s not that I’m afraid of death itself. Having experienced both life and death myself, I’m no longer afraid of death.

He was afraid that after he died, his parents, wife and children would be left without anyone to take care of them. He would have to provide for them until the end of their lives, watch their children grow up, get married and have children, grow old together with his wife, help them fulfill their wishes, and see the motherland prosper...

He carries too much on his shoulders, and his life is not his own.

This is what a man is. When a man shoulders the responsibility, he dare not be willful or lazy. He is afraid of losing everything he protects.

Under Chang Zhengyang's encouraging gaze, Zhang Haike continued, "In terms of skill alone, I can beat ten of the leader of the Green Tomb. At the beginning, I broke his neck. I am sure that his neck was broken and he died. But half an hour later, I saw him again..."

The scene at that time emerged in Zhang Haike's mind. Imagine that you are in a dark and cold tomb, and the guy you killed half an hour ago appears in front of you again.

Anyway, Zhang Haike thought he was brave enough, but he was so scared that his heart almost stopped beating.

His first reaction at that time was that he was hallucinating, and he immediately used the secret family method to confirm it. After she confirmed that it was not an hallucination, she began to think that the guy opposite was just the twin of the leader she had killed before, or even someone in disguise.

But when he fought with the opponent again, he immediately overturned his previous judgment. This person was the leader of the Green Tomb whose neck he had broken half an hour ago!

Zhang Haike smiled bitterly and said, "Director, you don't know, I felt that my cognition was about to be overturned, um, just like today."

Chang Zhengyang chuckled and motioned Zhang Haike to continue.

Theoretically, it is possible for a person with a broken neck to survive.

He believed that Zhang Haike would definitely take more thorough measures to kill the leader of the Green Tomb.

As he expected, Zhang Haike quickly killed the leader of the Green Tomb again. This time he shot him in the forehead.

"At the time, I thought, if his head was shot through, he wouldn't be able to resurrect again, right? Hey, I saw him again an hour later. If it weren't for the hair on the back of his head that hadn't grown yet, I couldn't believe that I had shot this man in the head an hour ago..."

Can a hole in the head heal?

And it heals within an hour!

Chang Zhengyang was finally moved. How did he do this?

There is only one way for an organism to achieve this level of regeneration, and that is to retain embryonic stem cells in the body.

The so-called embryonic stem cells, as the name suggests, are cells that can differentiate into all the cells of an organism.

Take humans for example. The human heart is generally non-renewable. As one cardiomyocyte dies, one is lost. This is because unlike skin cells, cardiomyocytes do not have the ability to self-divide. Only embryonic stem cells can differentiate into cardiomyocytes.

How to retain and control embryonic stem cells in the body is exactly the evolutionary direction that Chang Zhengyang envisioned.

In fact, this is exactly the same as the Taoist practice idea, which is the so-called return to the innate from the acquired.

Isn’t the embryo the innate stage of a living thing?

Embryonic stem cells, which are so tiny that they are invisible to the naked eye, can multiply and differentiate into a life. This shows how incredible their abilities are.

Chang Zhengyang couldn't help but grab Zhang Haike's arm and asked anxiously: "Where's the backstage? You won't grind him to dust, will you? This is a rare specimen!"

"Uh, Chief..."

Zhang Haike looked painful and he felt the bones in his arms creaking.

"Ahem, you lost your composure, you lost your composure, please continue..."

Chang Zhengyang's old face turned red, and he quickly let go of his hand, touched his nose, and took two steps back.

Zhang Haike finally breathed a sigh of relief, shook his arms, and said after relieving the pain, "Later, I killed him again and chopped off his head this time. To ensure that nothing could go wrong, I sealed him in a sarcophagus. Director, although I don't know why this man was able to come back to life, I know that he must have a great secret. How could I possibly grind him to dust?"

After Zhang Haike finished speaking, he showed a smug smile.

Chang Zhengyang smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this. He raised his hand and patted Zhang Haike on the shoulder and said, "Old Zhang, you have made great contributions to the bureau. From now on, you are a level 7 investigator and can enjoy the full set of life engineering benefits in advance. Now, on behalf of the bureau, I ask you to transport the leader of the Green Tomb to the bureau as quickly as possible. This is your priority task now. As for the Wang family's matter, we will talk about it later."

"I understand. It's my honor to work for the Director!"

"This is for the country, Comrade Lao Zhang, your idea is wrong..."

Chang Zhengyang raised his hand and pointed out the feudal remnants of Comrade Zhang Haike's thoughts. Comrade Zhang Haike humbly accepted the director's criticism and said that he would deeply analyze his heart, learn the content of the director's speech, and understand the spirit of the director's speech. He would remember the director's teachings, always unite with the director, and follow the director unswervingly...

"Brother, you've changed!"

The sky was filled with sunset glow. On a country road, Zhang Haixing was kicking the dogtail grass on the roadside with a dull look on her face.

Zhang Haike glanced back at her when he heard that, then turned to look at the sunset in the distance, and said quietly, "Hai Xing, we have been wandering outside for nearly thirty years."

"Well, to be exact, it's been twenty-six years..."

Zhang Haixiong thought of her former relatives and clansmen. Their voices and smiles appeared in her mind, and a hint of sadness flashed in her eyes.

Zhang Haike turned around, looked at her and smiled, "Birds of a feather flock together. We are different species and will never be able to fit in with ordinary people. Now we should find our home."

"Homecoming?"

Zhang Haixing lowered her head in thought for a long time, and finally looked up and smiled brightly.

"Well, we have a family!"

"Yes, we are going home. Let's go. Say hello to the chieftain before we leave!"
