Chapter 171 Nova

"He showed his sharpness at a young age and obtained such unique resources. Although he is famous, he inevitably aroused the envy of many people, and I was one of them." Xu Wenxin paused, and his slender eyes suddenly burst into tears. With a fiery light, "It wasn't until I learned about his 'nova' project that I had no choice but to obey."

Zhong Yuncong now has a headache whenever he hears such words as "plan" and "project". He presses his temples, the corners of his brows and eyes drooping: "What is that?"

Xu Wenxin asked back: "Do you know what a 'new star' is?"

The scumbag Zhong Yuncong ran the train calmly: "Stars, idols, idols? Does your role model want to enter the entertainment industry and become a manager?"

Xu Wenxin couldn't help laughing at his nonsense: "No."

He pointed to the ceiling: "'Nova' refers to bright stars that occasionally appear in the sky. In ancient times, they were called guest stars. They were generally considered to be newly born stars, so they were named nova."

His explanation was concise and concise, and Zhong Yuncong understood it, but he was even more confused: "Oh, so your biological company is planning to change careers to study astrophysics?"

Xu Wenxin couldn't help but laugh at his nonsense. He shook his head, wisely ignored the other party's argument, and went on to say: "Nova is a category of variable stars, and it is also an important link in the evolution of celestial bodies. It is an old star. The glorious funeral of stars is also the promoter of new stars. The explosion of new stars may trigger the birth of countless stars in nearby nebulae. On the other hand, the ashes of new star explosions are also important materials for the formation of other celestial bodies."

"Now you understand, what was the purpose of the 'Nova' genetic recombination project back then?"

After he said that, after he looked at Zhong Yuncong meaningfully, the latter turned his face away to avoid his sight, obviously feeling a little taste.

"No matter how talented Zhang Jiahe is, he has never been able to straddle two completely different fields." Xu Wenxin smiled and captured every subtle expression of the young man opposite him. "The object of his research is naturally people, not celestial bodies. But the project The process of implementing the project is strikingly similar to the explosion of a new star."

Zhong Yun felt the coolness creeping up his back one by one, and he forced himself to be calm: "Don't go around, just say what you say."

Xu Wenxin smiled slightly, but it was very good for him, and he really got to the point: "The education level outside should be more developed than ours. When you were in school, you should know how many years it took our ancestors to evolve from apes to humans. Bar?"

Zhong Yun never had time to think about the meaningful question behind, but was overwhelmed by the first half of his sentence, he stumbled and asked: "You, what are you talking about...I, how am I? outside..."

After coming to the "isolated island" for nearly half a year, the only ones who know his true identity are Su Xian, Zhang Jibai, and Zong Zhengzheng, the big boss.

How could this strange doctor just open his mouth...

Facing his extremely unnatural sophistry, Xu Wenxin waved his hands amusedly: "No matter what, I'm a doctor, so can't I see the true color of your iris?"

Zhong Yuncong stared at him vigilantly, opened his mouth to threaten him but felt that it was useless, even if he made him dumb, could he still write?Can't you chop it off with your hands?It might as well be killed.

But... really killing people for this matter?

Zhong Yun took a deep breath like a toothache, and finally scratched his hair distractedly, determined not to think about it: "...then go on. And, don't ask me so many messy things. Question, I always forget it after the exam, and it’s useless to ask.”

Xu Wenxin laughed happily: "I really can't figure it out, how could that person give birth to a son like you?"

Zhong Yuncong's face turned red and then turned pale, but his heart sank. He naturally thought that he was talking about Zhang Jiahe, or Zhong Zhiyuan.

He just felt his heart getting colder and colder. It seemed that they were the same person.

For a while, I really didn't know how to face it, after all, it was my own father.

Fortunately, Lao Zhong was not in front of him at the moment.He secretly rejoiced.

As for why the legendary genius Xueba gave birth to such an ignorant son, he automatically ignored such a major research topic that might involve genetic mutation.

Eighty percent of the time it was the mother who was holding back.He enlightened himself with joy in bitterness.

Xu Wenxin continued to explain to him: "It took millions of years for our ancestors to have the embryonic form of human beings. At that time, they were very strong and healthy. The physical fitness of the human group reached its peak at that stage. But in After that, the curve began to go down all the way until modern times, when it hit the bottom. Our jaws can no longer be perfectly occluded, the bones are obviously thinner, the muscles are also shrinking, the spine is getting weaker and weaker, and even some parts of the sense of taste have been lost. ..."

Zhong Yuncong couldn't listen anymore, and interrupted his long talk bluntly: "That's what I said, but you know much more than me, and you will never fail to know how the gap between modern humans and ancient humans widened. Right? At that time, the ancestors drank blood and raced against wild animals every day. Could they not be strong? The health of modern people is getting worse, but the root cause is the improvement of living conditions.”

As he spoke, there was a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "Isn't it because the ancients tortured themselves like that for stuttering? If you can travel through time, you can ask the people at that time to see if they would like to come. Fall into the modern environment."

Xu Wenxin's eyebrows moved slightly, and he was about to say something, but Zhong Yuncong robbed him: "Speaking of which, I also want to ask you, are you willing to return to the primitive society in order to get back to the good physique of ancient times? ?”

Xu Wenxin smiled and said, "Of course I don't want to, not just me, most people are not willing."

Zhong Yuncong felt very proud of winning the debate. Fortunately, human tails have disappeared in evolution.

"But I know," Xu Wenxin changed the subject, "For the vast majority of people, if they can get the chance to return to the top or even emerge from the blue, they would like to come."

His words almost reminded Zhong Yun of those strange abilities in the "Island" reflexively, and his brain jumped suddenly, followed by a dull pain.

Xu Wenxin stared at him with a smile: "You have to admit, it doesn't feel bad to have supernatural powers, does it?"

He opened his mouth, revealing his white teeth: "Especially, you don't have any side effects."

Zhong Yun twitched from the corner of his eyes, and his eyes sharpened suddenly.

Xu Wenxin looked at him with a slight smile.

His lips were tightly pursed into a straight line, his upper body was straight, and his whole body was like a tight bow.

"Side effects," he asked after a long while, "what do you mean?"

"It means that people like you are the ideal product of the 'New Star' project." Xu Wenxin sighed, "As for the other people in the 'Island', they are all defective products, or even waste products."

Defective products, of course, refer to other supernatural beings. As for waste products, they can only be those ordinary people.

But whether they are better or worse, there is no difference in the outcome of these two types of people—they will fester, go crazy and die within a certain period of time.

Zhong Yun got up suddenly, and punched the glass with a fist. The glass curtain wall as a barrier was thick enough to be unscathed, but it hurt his joints: "Speak clearly, what is going on with that project?! "

He paused before speaking again: "What does the 'Paradise Lost' virus have to do with it?"

Xu Wenxin just laughed at his gaffe: "The 'Paradise Lost' virus is a part of the 'New Star' project...and it is a very important step."

Now, the role of "Paradise Lost" could not be more obvious.

In addition to irreversible damage, those weird mutations are also one of the sequelae, but in terms of probability, the latter is much lower than the former.

"The original intention of the implementation of the 'New Star' project is definitely not to harm, but to benefit mankind and make us stronger." Xu Wenxin shrugged, "It's just that something went wrong..."

"A little mistake?" Zhong Yuncong landed on the glass again, this time he really wanted to break it, his eyes were red and he gritted his teeth, "Do you know that your little mistake killed you?" Hundreds of thousands of people destroyed a city!"

"Those 10 people are equivalent to the ashes of a new star explosion, the inevitable foreshadowing of human evolution, and their sacrifices are valuable and worthy of being remembered." Xu Wenxin was not intimidated by his anger, and his smile remained unchanged: "Also, I have to remind you that although I'm not a good person, I don't like to be wronged... I have nothing to do with the 'new star' thing, so don't label me casually."

He laughed at himself: "Actually, it's not that I don't want to get involved, but it's just that it's not my turn to get involved at that time."

Zhong Yuncong looked at him coldly.

Xu Wenxin was also looking at him, but there was a bit of sarcasm in his eyes: "Should I remind you? The person in charge and core of the 'New Star' project is Zhang Jiahe."

If Zhang Jiahe is Zhong Zhiyuan...

In an instant, Zhong Yuncong felt a blow to the head, and the blood faded from his face instantly, turning him as pale as paper.

Facing Xu Wenxin's sneering eyes, he seemed to wake up from a dream, staggered back two steps, his legs gave way, and he fell down on the chair.

His whole body was flustered and at a loss, and he was also attacked by great fear. His mind seemed to be in a mess, and it was extremely chaotic and tangled.

Xu Wenxin looked coldly at the young man who looked like a deflated ball, and laughed silently.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" The middle-aged man asked kindly, "But I already know everything, and I can't say anything more."

Zhong Yuncong's nails dug deeply into his palm until it bled. The pain forced him to calm down a bit. Holding his breath, he stood up, turned his back and walked out.

After taking two steps, he stopped again, and asked hoarsely, "Since you know... about Zhang Jiahe's escape, why didn't you tell me?"

If he is for the peace of the "isolated island", no one will believe him. No matter how you look at it, this master is a guy who is afraid of chaos in the world.

"If you say so, the people from the Management Bureau will definitely settle accounts with me." The man's laughter came from behind, "Besides, Zhang Jiahe is the object of my admiration, of course I have to maintain some respect for him .”

Zhong Yun was never in the mood to listen to his nonsense, and walked out in a vain manner. At this moment, Xu Wenxin spoke again.

"Actually, you are not the only finished product. There is another person who is even more perfect than you."

>>>

After the dog finished saying this, he began to pretend to be deaf and dumb, and kept silent. Zhong Yuncong asked twice to no avail. He was definitely angry and wanted to beat someone, but at this moment, Zhang Jiahe and Zhong Yun were in his mind. The two names of Zhiyuan are fighting, and the fight is so intense that even the curiosity is lost.

He no longer has the energy to care about who the "finished product" other than him is.

When he walked out of that cell, he found Su Xian waiting for him in the corridor.

It's just that he didn't look very comfortable, his back was pressed against the wall, his face was pale, his eyes were closed, and there was cold sweat on his forehead.

He also stayed in the "isolated island" for a few months, and spent a lot of time with Su Xian, so he could tell what was going on at a glance.

This is a side effect of taking inhibitors.

All infected people, including Su Xian, must take inhibitors on time to delay the onset of the disease as much as possible.

Every time he took the medicine, he would become like this.

If it wasn't for the damn genetic recombination project, if it wasn't for Zhang Jiahe...

He, and they, would not have fallen into such a situation.

Zhong Yuncong shuddered suddenly and froze in place.

However, Su Xian heard the movement, he opened his eyes, and smiled slightly: "The question is over? Is there..."

Before he finished a sentence, he realized that his complexion was not right, his eyes were slightly focused, and he walked towards him: "What's the matter? Your complexion is so bad? Is there something wrong?"

He walked up to him and stretched out his hand to touch his forehead, but Zhong Yun never dared to look at him, subconsciously turned his head away.

Su Xian's hands froze in mid-air.
