Belly Trojan

Chapter 48: Castle in the Sky

Ling Yanzhi was on the plane, and Yi Huazang next to him was snoring like thunder, his shoulders and neck were covered with a thin layer of sweat. He didn't realize it, and occasionally looked at the sea of ​​clouds at a height of [-] meters outside the window, and then turned his head to look at himself itinerary.

They pretended to go around overseas, visited famous schools and institutions to give speeches, and visited their similar OMEGA protection organizations in several designated countries to conduct "learning exchanges", and then conferred the title of "Honorary Professor" with a vain name ", in short, give Ling Yanzhi a brush with his qualifications; the news reports have not stopped all the way.But the last stop was a detour to Yuncheng, and there was no follow-up interview: After all, as a special zone, Yuncheng is too special and too sensitive.

Ling Yanzhi looked at the thick clouds and imagined: what is that city like?

He had only seen the high-sounding reports on TV, and guessed about Fan Shu's vague work content, and the different expressions of these insiders when they talked about Yuncheng.Yi Huazang is proud and secretive, Fan Shu is painful and forbearing, the crown prince is greedy and natural, but in the folklore, it is always like a tacit secret, twinkling in his eyes and fascinated.

The plane was descending, and the sharp pain of the change in air pressure was pressing on the eardrums.The clouds outside the window flew over the porthole like smoke, covering the sun and the blue sky and turning them into a gray color.He was about to see it, just as he was thinking, his eyes suddenly spread out, and a large piece of green came into his vision.

— A city among the mountains.

Numerous suspended elevated bridges fly over the mountains like Bai Lian, linking them together.In the case of almost global construction redundancy, this kind of infrastructure that consumes a lot of manpower and material resources seems extremely extravagant.The plane flew closer, and gradually the outline of the magnificent and prosperous city could be seen clearly.Countless cars are speeding on the road like ants.A thriving vitality rose up in the city, covering it like a protective cover.

When the plane landed and walked out of the hall, Ling Yanzhi was frightened, because he actually lined up on both sides and received a warm welcome; Yi Huazang walked in front, holding his arm without hesitation.Ling Yanzhi originally thought that this was a semi-private itinerary without a follow-up interview. He did not expect Mr. Yi's grandeur in Yuncheng.

Of course, these people shouted slogans and raised flags to cheer as if they had come to complete the mission, but the health and vitality on their faces were not fake; the atmosphere of the whole city was blowing away from the moment they stepped out of the airport hall.They then got into the car, but Mr. Yi rarely asked the bodyguard to change into plain clothes, and followed him from a distance, as if saying to Ling Yanzhi: "Do you know where the best scenic spot in Yuncheng is?"

Ling Yanzhi shook his head cooperatively; this is a brand new city, where are the attractions?But he couldn't take his eyes off the crowd outside the window; the hustle and bustle, the smiles, or strong positive emotions; the vibrant colors of the clothes and decorative walls.

Yi Huazang smiled complacently. "I'll take you to have a look."

The car was parked in the middle of the downtown area.The streets are not so clean, and even a little messy; but it is different from the mess in the surrounding abandoned city. People hurried past, with extremely fast footsteps, with some dancing rhythms, as if they were inexplicably happy.Vehicles shuttled on the road, horns sounded one after another, and people chatted with each other with laughter and foul language, as if there were endless topics to talk about.Ling Yanzhi was walking on the road, feeling the touch of people passing by brushing their shoulders and bumping into their bodies.He suddenly realized that this city is alive; not only alive, but also abnormally young, frizzy and impulsive like a teenager with ADHD; while others, including the city he lived in, although the residents in it Most of them have not yet reached old age, but they are already staggering like old people, and their hearts are ashamed.

Standing on the turbulent street, he suddenly felt that time was flowing backwards, and the blurry images in his memory suddenly appeared layer by layer, as if a hole had been broken in a box that he had not wanted to open for a long time, something that could be hidden and could not be hidden. All run outside.In the immature years, those fragmented impressions and the atmosphere in the air seemed to appear in front of my eyes at once, as if a normal society, a normal human world, should be like this.

"A lot of old people racked their brains and squeezed their heads before they died, but they also came to Yuncheng for no other reason than to see this street scene." Yi Huazang introduced proudly, "The other two cities under the jurisdiction of the nearest neighboring country The district has developed a new business, only allowing people over the age of 80 to go there, to fulfill their wishes—to be buried in Yuncheng; do you know? Many people can’t afford the land, so they have to scatter their ashes; On the line, I calculated the direction of the wind with all my might, and I just wanted to be closer to Yuncheng, and a little closer."

The wind is mixed with the clean air of the mountains and the filth of the city.Ling Yanzhi listened to the wind, like an illusion, always felt that he heard something: like some childish cry, some unspeakable secret.

"Why...? What is the magic of this city?"

Yi Huazang smiled and said, "Want to know? There will be a better place later."

They drove to the factory on the outskirts of the mountain.The traffic in Yuncheng is so convenient that a bridge like a belt of clouds was abruptly built, leading straight into the deep hinterland of the majestic mountains.After getting out of the car, there is a fortress-like gate in front of you, surrounded by former plantations, but now poppies are growing wildly around, and no one even takes a second look.There was no big ostentation at the gate, only a few people in charge received him, and they shook hands with Ling Yanzhi enthusiastically.Looking around, the main office building is obviously for receiving guests, surrounded by certificates and trophies, as well as a huge projected sand table of the 'New Cloud Complex'.The architectural design plan of a new city is marked on the sand table. This time, bridges are built directly among the mountains and gathered in the air, like the Tower of Babel on the clouds.

The person in charge has a pair of round bean-like eyes with a scar above them.Pretentiously, he moved closer to Yi Hua's side, and asked in a low voice that Ling Yanzhi could hear: "Mr. Yi, what's planned for today?"

Yi Huazang waved his hand and said, "It's rare for Teacher Ling to come here. Of course, he wants to see the best ones. Today, he will take Teacher Ling to the factory to have a look."

Those bastard mung bean-sized eyes rolled around, looked Ling Yanzhi up and down, and said very clearly: "Yes, I understand, let's arrange it."

They boarded a ship called "Cloud Car".The railway tracks are built in the mountains, and they circle down the mountains along the tracks; with the help of inertia, they can shuttle rapidly among the mountains like a roller coaster.But there are still places that even the cloud car can't reach, and even if he crosses the mountains on foot, Yi Huazang, despite being a fat man, walks like flying, obviously he is used to walking.He observed Ling Yanzhi nonchalantly along the way, as if he hoped that he would be frightened or cry out for pain and tiredness, and make some cute gestures; usually Ling Yanzhi is not shy about performing, but today he just looked at the rare scenery in front of him , in a daze.

In a blink of an eye, a large number of continuous factory buildings appeared in the center of the hinterland, row upon row like terraced fields growing in the mountains, with unique caves.Mung Douyan enthusiastically introduced that the assembly line he visited was a pharmaceutical assembly line that OMEGA has been using for the first time in stable use, and the other is a production line for artificial wombs and accessories for new medical devices.Then there are the various drugs provided to ALPHA... The tour is long and tedious, and the new-style machine glows with a cold silvery white light.Yi Huazang leaned closer to his ear: "Are you feeling bored? Something good is coming."

He walked to a hidden door, and the closed space was only opened after the four-fold verification of fingerprint, iris, biometric identification and voiceprint.They put on protective clothing, sterilized, and then walked into the isolation room; a door opened in front of them, and in countless cylindrical petri dishes, air bubbles rose slowly like oxygen pumps in a fish tank, and a small A mass of flesh-colored—

That's a fetus.

There was an invisible force that pushed Ling Yanzhi forward, his spine straightened, but his footsteps moved forward involuntarily, stumbling forward, and his fingers touched the cold touch of the glass.fetus.Breathing healthily and steadily, the skin is so pure that it has a translucent color.They look good and natural, with small lips slightly open, with a smile on their faces, unaware of what the coming world and life will be like: that is the most primitive situation of each of us. status.

There was a burning pain in his lower abdomen, and he subconsciously remembered the despair during the implant surgery, the falling pain after the miscarriage, and the fear of an unknown life in his stomach; his fingertips slipped from the glass, and he saw his own body in his reflection. Face, mixed with that transparent skin.The little fingers unconsciously stretched out to this side, as if to grab his face; Ling Yanzhi staggered suddenly, as if his strength had been exhausted, he fell to the ground almost immediately.

The others were not very surprised. It seemed that among the people who came here to visit, his reaction was by no means the most violent or abnormal one.

"Is this...really...?...they...alive?"

All ask similar questions.After all, in the early years, countless fame-seeking scientists and profit-seeking groups would claim that they had broken through scientific difficulties, developed methods, and solved the problem that embryos must rely on the mother's body in the early stages.Scientists are liars, corporations are liars, religions are liars, credibility is liars, and even countries are liars.Some do it for profit, some for fame, and some for comfort; while public institutions always reveal to the public a kind of prosperity and unlimited hope, like a radish that will never be eaten in front of people. In order to maintain the vitality of the society and the stability of the country.

But day after day, year after year, in the end, scientific research results that have made no progress are exposed, and people's money, patience and hope are also exhausted in a series of deceptions.I have prayed to the gods and worshiped the Buddha; the gods and Buddhas lowered their eyebrows and lowered their eyes, but kept silent.I have believed in science and trustworthy institutions, and I believe that they are drawing cakes to satisfy their hunger day after day; until one day the people were outraged, rushed into the institutions surrounding the high-voltage lines, smashed open the door of the laboratory, and overthrew the building that had appeared in countless newspapers and magazines A Petri dish of a living baby was never grown - only to find out that it was filled with models made of silicone.

The rest of the men, who were looking forward to it, collapsed collectively at that moment.

When you think it's the end of the world, neither law nor morality, life safety or death threats can stop you anymore.

Someone next to him introduced something to him in a whisper, but Ling Yanzhi didn't listen at all; he already had the answer when this question was asked.That doesn't even need to use his own academic expertise; human beings have had no heirs for a long time, and it suddenly appeared at this time, as long as you stand so close, you can feel a kind of soul thread in the middle, gently pulling your heartbeat , breathing, blood vessels and tendons when raising hands and feet; through the thick glass, you can even hear that small breath, the frequency seems to be scratching in the heart.When Yi Huazang picked him up from behind, he didn't even realize it, his eyes were wide open, in a daze, as if he had found his way, but he seemed to have lost his way.

"I can't believe it?" Yi Huazang said close to his ear, almost half hugging, "Everyone thinks so when they meet for the first time. This is beautiful, right? With them, from now on, you You can be freed from the responsibilities and obligations of OMEGA, not just you, all OMEGA are..."

Ling Yanzhi was dizzy, as if he was also soaked in the amniotic fluid, surrounded by a blurred sense of shaking, like being put into a crystal box, rolling all the way down the hillside. "Is there any individual sample that survived successfully...?..."

"What do you think? Do you think the magic power of this city was born out of thin air? Yanzhi, you are a smart person, and you understand it very well."

"But……"

So many years of research have proved that people can create everything, and they can also take everything away, but nature seems to deliberately leave an obvious gap when creating the world, an untouchable bottom line: that is, it prevents human beings from using science to create life.The creation of life is mysterious and sacred, the more you delve into it, the more fog you will see.They can generate embryos, but without a mother, the embryos cannot survive; they can manufacture biodegradable materials to make frameworks, clone female uterine cells, and form tissues through cell derivation, but the cells and tissues still cannot escape the invasion of Myers' disease.

Later, they began to use male cells and omental fat tissue in the abdominal cavity to build a new uterine framework, which is called - artificial uterus.Implantation in the uterus means long-term observation and follow-up visits, daily medication and regular estrogen injections like a seriously ill patient... and estrogen leads to the "** period".Those things that once belonged to them, together with the dignity of men, were stripped away...

"This is a new way." Yi Huazang said, "I know you will like it. If you really want to do something for OMEGA, if you really want to be the chairman of the OMEGA, this is what you should do , such things are meaningful to you... Stand with us, let them survive, and bring hope to this world—think about it, if every city in this world is like Cloud City, how good it would be The past we lost, the family we loved, can all... come back to us—"
