Entrepreneurship in a different world

The air in the conference room froze again for a moment, because Wen Rong's words were really terrifying.Hyde Tostalon had just changed from a bigwig in the academic world to the second in command of the 'Prisoner Mountain Association', and it hadn't been an hour before he changed from the elder of the general affairs to Hyde Tostalon again.

The Wen family men all know that the head of their family is never the kind of person who talks nonsense, he must have his own reasons.Immediately, the remaining thoughts in Moshi and Sanbao's minds were: Who is this old gentleman in front of them?

The old gentleman did not answer Wen Rong's question directly, but adjusted his sitting posture, puffed up his chest a little bit proudly, and asked Wen Rong in a calm manner: "Why did you come up with such a terrible conjecture?"

"Didn't you keep hinting at me?" Wen Rong asked him back, "You didn't intend to hint to me at the beginning, what made you change your mind, I think it's because Elder Michelson knew the real Hyde When Tostalon made the description, you have some opinions. You expressed 'sarcasm' to Elder Maxson's statement three times. It's Hyde, but if you think about it carefully, what you are mocking is actually the so-called 'truth' he described."

The old gentleman nodded in satisfaction, and raised his wrist by the way, signaling him to continue talking.

"You seem to be indifferent to life and death, but you are obsessed with the inheritance of knowledge. When you talk about other things, you look indifferent, but when you talk about things related to scientific research, you will become a little more positive. You have always been Emphasize that let me call you old Mr. Hyde...Since your identity has been exposed, it is not more honorable to call you 'Elder General Affairs', why do you need to emphasize a title to me twice?"

"This is just your association, and it can't be used as evidence." The old man tilted his head slightly.

"That's why I asked you if I guessed right? Old man, since you feel that what Elder Maxon said dissatisfied you, can you let us know what happened through your mouth?" Wen Rong didn't agree Stick to his guess, even though he is [-] to [-]% sure that he guessed right.

"Hyde Tostalon is not as utilitarian as they thought. He invested in the research of the 'Brazed Virus' just happened by accident. At that time, the world was peaceful, and it was not divided by cities and regions like it is now , but the boundary between countries. He is just a young researcher majoring in biology who has not graduated for a long time. He was admitted by a well-known company in the industry and got a job to study a new type of virus." The old man Slightly narrowing his eyes, he spoke with a contradictory gesture.The contradiction is that it seems that he seems to be recalling the past, but in fact the words that come out of his mouth seem to be speaking from the standpoint of a third person.

Wen Rong picked up the teapot on the table, which contained the herbal tea prepared every day. He specially poured a cup for this old gentleman with a complicated identity, and handed the cup to him.

"Thank you!" The old gentleman thanked him politely and distantly.

He took a sip of tea slowly and gracefully, and slightly opened his slightly restrained eyes: "He has a high level of attainment in his own profession, and he is also obsessed with the research in his hand. He also had doubts about the weird virus, but other colleagues around him didn't have any opinions on it, so he didn't care so much... Until that day came suddenly, the "crazy virus" broke out everywhere, and he started I thought it was because of a leak in their research team that caused the disaster, and I once fell into deep self-blame, locking myself in the research institute to study vaccines day and night."

A picture appeared in front of Wen Rong's eyes. The young biologist thought it was a magic box of the end of the world that he had opened with his own hands. In his anxiety and pain, he wanted to turn the tide and end his sins.

"And then?" It was Sambo who asked.

"Then... someone came to save him before he was about to be killed by other mutated 'mad people'. At first he thought that the people who came to save him were his compatriots in the temporary base established by humans, so he continued in the base Carrying out vaccine research. It wasn't until a year later that mutation and self-evolution further led to the appearance of 'alienated people', and he gradually realized that the people around him who seemed to be the same as him were actually different. There was a' Temporary base for Prisoners' construction."

"Was he scared at the time?" Wen Rong asked a subjective question.

"I was afraid, but soon he didn't care about being afraid. Because he could only get all the equipment and materials for research in that base, and he could still keep it relatively safe. At that time, there were several researchers in their team, everyone The unanimous wish is to develop a vaccine as soon as possible to end the catastrophe." The old man's voice carried a touch of the old man's desolation after going through hardships, "Knowing that I am being used, but I can only accept it... I have faced many times... The 'Frenzied Army' attacked in waves, and the base of the 'Prisoner Mountain Man' could only move around, and the only researchers around him disappeared one by one, and in the end... only Hyde was left."

"The research on the 'mad vaccine' has not progressed for two years. As a foreigner, he was almost abandoned several times. In the most difficult time, he was used as a cow, a horse, and a slave."

"In the 30 years of the last days, there were all kinds of dark, gloomy, terrifying, and things beyond human nature. Especially in the first few years, there was no difference between humans and beasts, domestic animals, and livestock, and most of them were not as good as the latter that could be eaten as food. Without waiting for the reaction of the people around him to what he just said, he continued, "Coincidentally, the one who took him as a slave at that time was a noble person, the elder of the general affairs."

What does it mean to hear that his tone is neither the tone of the real Hyde nor the tone of the chief steward?

"I have been a slave to that noble elder for three years, and he has learned a lot about aliens in private. In addition,...he also has a better understanding of the habits of the elder in charge. Suddenly one day, he was brought back to I went to the laboratory to carry out research work again, and followed some "prisoners" into a medium-sized survivor base, and the person in charge of that base at that time..." He stared deeply at the Take a look at Mori.

"It's me." Moshi said.Judging from the chronological order he said, that time should be when he was famous. Although the base he built was only a medium-sized base in the central part, because he and his subordinates were powerful, the base had withstood several waves of "berserk" troops. 'The sneak attack has been sustained, and the safety factor is the strongest in the surrounding area. Many scattered survivors in other places will migrate to his base after receiving the news. In those two years, they took in too many days and escaped all the way. There are surviving humans, and there are also some teams engaged in vaccine research.

It's just that at that time, he hadn't heard of the name of Hyde Tostalon.

"At that time, Hyde was still under the surveillance and restrictions of the surrounding 'Prisoners'. His research team was all 'Prisoners' except him, and all the results were taken away by others. At the beginning, no one I know his name. It was in the third year after entering your base, after the largest 'siege event' broke out... All the research teams protected by the base were transferred to another underground base that was safer, and the researcher who originally monitored him He died one after another in the process of turning back, and he began to emerge in that underground base."

Mo Shi frowned and thought deeply: "I remember...it's the 'Ban'e Fort' base."

"He enjoyed his freedom again in 'Ban'e Castle'. He felt that he was surrounded by compatriots. Many elites in the former professional fields gathered in 'Ban'e Castle' one after another... He also found colleagues from the former research institute. Everyone Join hands again and devote ourselves wholeheartedly to the research, looking forward to saving the world with my own hands." The old man was still talking in the tone of a bystander, but after he finished speaking, he paused for a while.

There must have been some other important things that happened later, Wen Rong thought in his heart.

"That should be the happiest few years he has lived in the last days. His research has achieved a little bit, and he has accepted a gifted student, and with the help of that student, they have slowly come into contact with the vaccine. shadow."

Mo Shi: "That gifted student is Fan Di."

Wen Rong remembered this.When they investigated the old man's past, they learned that he had taken in a student when he was in the base. At that time, Fan Di's brain had super-evolved, and he had to learn some basic theoretical knowledge from a good teacher. of.It seems that the leader in biological research is the old Mr. Hyde.

"Fan Di doesn't seem to want to mention him." Wen Rong said softly.

"Well! Fan Di once told me that it was because of their different research ideas."

"Different ideas are just an excuse. The main reason is that Fan Di was the one who proposed the theoretical framework of the vaccine, but he was only a student at that time and didn't care about it, so he gave this result to the whole team. The team behind him based on his framework. After repeated research, with the emergence of the first-generation vaccine, until the final product came out, Fan Di, a genius who had left the team at that time to continue working in another team, was isolated after that great achievement and was picked up by me. The biggest credit is gone. Although Fan Di didn't care when he put forward the theory, but he is not included in the official reward for the results, how could he be happy?"

"That's your fault. People who benefit from it have to report the credit of others." Fan Di is a guy who he doesn't care about, and it's best not to think that others don't care about him.He can give up gold and silver when he is casual, but when he is serious, he will suddenly grab a small matter and get into the horns.

"This matter is not in Hyde's control. He didn't know until the moment the vaccine was actually born that his current team was also controlled by aliens. Not only that, the company that will produce the vaccine next, the vaccine production required Some major raw materials and machinery and equipment companies are all controlled by those aliens. Those guys have already infiltrated into the base silently, re-infiltrated into his side, and also infiltrated into the side of the head of state at that time. As for your Excellency at the time, let’s do it. Except for his usefulness when doing research, the release of follow-up results and the claim of meritorious deeds... Another wave of people has already planned. He has never been able to escape the control of aliens... ...Since you can't escape, you can only let yourself survive."

"So, you're quite innocent." Mo Shi sneered at him face to face.

"At that time, he realized more clearly how terrifying those aliens are and how powerful they are. At this time, we have entered the late end of the world, and people have already started planning to rebuild and develop a new world. Hyde But after that, he was secretly picked up and sent to another research laboratory. This time, he will take over the "artificial breeding" project. On the surface, this task was done for the "United Council" at that time. In fact, the main Those who control this plan are also those aliens. He has no way to resist, and he can't even tell what he knows, because the one around him is the eyeliner of the other party. Even if he tells it, who will believe it. No one Believe it, at that time, even your Excellency, you were calculated to be confused..."

Moshi nodded honestly: "That's right!" This is a 'shame' he can't shake off, and it's also a lesson he has engraved in his heart.

"You have changed a lot, and you even admitted your mistakes." The old man laughed out loud, and then said with emotion: "...Yes, people will change."

"You have also changed. From the beginning, you tried to resist, but later you have accepted them and are still with them."

"No way, when you witness the strength with your own eyes, you will subdue and attach to him without knowing it. He has witnessed several times with his own eyes the advanced technology and scientific research achievements in their hands. There is 'gene optimization' technology, and' Artificial atavism' technology, and 'body imitation' technology, but these are not as good as the final technology that makes him yearn for - the 'tail ceremony'." When it comes to the 'tail ceremony', this The eyes that were about to be squinted suddenly widened, revealing their brilliance.

"You have come into contact with so many of their core technologies, so it seems that they are very satisfied with your attachment." Wen Rong still couldn't help but poked him.

Although the other party has been using the third-person perspective to narrate, he feels that he is out of the matter, and it sounds full of various reasons, and he made an inevitable choice after talking about himself as powerless.Wen Rong didn't really feel more sympathy for what he said.

If he were the real Hyde, he didn't know what choice he would make.But combined with his current situation, it would be too early to sympathize with him.

"Actually, Hyde has participated in all the above three technologies. On the basis of some of their original theories and experiments, he is the key to helping them make breakthroughs. Before that, those aliens kept giving He drew a beautiful vision and said that in the future he could try the 'Owning Ceremony'. For the thing he was most interested in, he worked day and night, researched, and the longest time was five days without leaving the experiment. Taiwan, helping them complete some special experiments."

The word 'special' made Wen Rong feel uncomfortable.These three technologies all need to be tested on human body. What he meant by 'special', you don't need to ask carefully.

At least ten years ago, when Moshi hadn't let Kuo Mo destroy some private laboratories, those flooded private research abounded.Private team companies can do this for profit. It is conceivable that these teams have stronger purpose, resources and financial assistance.

"'Body body' was originally a special power possessed by a special kind of 'awakened', and it was also an experiment designed by him to evolve this power into a technology that other types of 'awakened' can develop. This is It was the most successful achievement in his sickest period. It was only after completing this experiment that he completely fell down."

When mentioning 'body mimics', what Wen Rong thinks of is those 'body mimics' who have been forced to develop this ability through stimulation, and the 'counselor' on their side is the victim who was arrested and transformed into this ability It is thanks to this gift.Later, more "body mimics" were created through experiments, and then it became a kind of "technology", which is what he said.

Wen Rong didn't know what to say anymore, and waited silently for him to continue.

"Actually, after finishing the 'artificial breeding' program, his body started to have problems. First, he had stomach lesions. He removed most of the stomach. Later, the entire stomach was removed and replaced with a new one. Later, the cancer spread to the lungs. He had his lungs replaced again... The original work plan slowly collapsed because of the pain and suffering from time to time. Although the medical technology at that time allowed him to live for a few more years with his sick body, he still chose to work for him. He was looking for a new life by himself. So, with great expectations, he applied to the elders of the general affairs office he had served for the "Title Ceremony". He was full of confidence. At any rate, he helped them make a lot of achievements. There is also ongoing genetic optimization work, just need to help him change his body, he can continue to work hard for them and continue to contribute."

"How naive!" Mo Shi couldn't help but say in disgust.

"Yeah, it's naive now that I think about it, but to him at the time, he wasn't naive at all. He had lived in their clan for a long time, and he often had the idea that he was also a member of their clan, although some parts of his body The genome is different, but he has the same goal, the same career, and can communicate with them." The old man smiled wryly, and then heaved a long sigh.

"They didn't agree to you." This is the fact that Elder Michelson said just now, "Not only did they not agree, but they also humiliated you. From Elder Michelson's attitude just now, it is not difficult to see how big a joke they took your request. Enjoy, even after so long, it's still cold 'unworthy' to mention it."

"Hmm!" The old man honestly admitted this time, "That's true. Within a day after he made this application, he was humiliated by more than a dozen people from other races. They smashed up his studio and burned the food he was eating at the time. Drugs that interfere with organ rejection, throw his wheelchair from upstairs, and... order the aliens who have been taking care of his daily life not to give him food and water, lock him in the laboratory, and broadcast live to their group His predicament at that time was for their own people to appreciate at any time..."

He said this calmly, and looked aside at the indoor window: "For more than half a month...he has become the object of observation and entertainment by so many eyes like countless white mice that have been observed in his hands. No Food can only be prepared with nutrient solution, without water, the experimental equipment is extracted into water, unable to move, and can only crawl on the ground clumsily... He once thought he would die in that laboratory, but his fate was too great to survive. Still alive for so long."

"Who saved you?" Sanbao asked in a low voice with stronger sympathy than the two fathers.

"Elder General Affairs." The old gentleman closed his eyes after saying this.

"Why did he save you?" Sambo asked directly if he couldn't figure it out.

Disgust quickly flashed across the old man's face, followed by shame and anger. He averted his gaze in a little embarrassment and did not answer.

"Could it be that he thought that you served him for three years..." Seeing that the other party didn't answer, Sanbao guessed by himself.

Wen Rong immediately pressed his shoulder: "Okay, this question is not important, you don't need to ask it so clearly."

Sanbao frowned and looked back at his father in bewilderment.

"He survived...he didn't mention the 'Tail Owning Ceremony' again, but this time he announced his official retirement and went into seclusion. Over the years, he has devoted himself to the development of organ transplantation and artificial organ transplantation, time and time again using all his organs They were replaced all over again, leaving only the brain. He wanted to use this method to prove that even if he had the ability to keep himself alive... However, these technologies are already the most advanced in this era, and there is still no way to prevent weakness and The arrival of death... He once again replaced himself with the youngest and healthiest organs, waiting for death to take him away..."

"Did you take it away?" Sanbao swallowed nervously.

"...It wasn't Death who took him away, but another person." At this moment, the old man had a sly complacency on his face, and he stopped to interact with Sanbao: "Little guy, can you guess who it is?" Did you take him?"

Sanbao rolled his eyes and thought about it for a while, then tentatively answered: "Elder General?"

"Haha!" The old man laughed out loud, "You guessed it right, as expected of the seventh generation."

"Why did he..."

"Three Treasures!" Wen Rong pressed his shoulder hard, "Listen to the old man to continue."

The old man glanced at Wen Rong with a look of 'knowing himself', and smiled gratefully at him, "The elder of the general affairs took his body away, and it happened that the elder of the general affairs was about to change the container again. He Chosen his body as a new vessel."

"I understand." Moshi immediately understood the ins and outs of all this, and rarely gave this man an appreciative look, "Mr. Hyde, what a plan!"

"What's the plan?" Sanbao didn't understand, as if he had been confused since the elder of the general affairs rescued Mr. Hyde.

"He must seek some compensation for his humiliation." The old man said self-consciously.

"It should!" Moshi agreed.

"You... From the very beginning, you have made up your mind that you want to kill him, and use your dying body to put all your eggs in one basket." After Wen Rong figured out the twists and turns here, he looked at the old gentleman again, with mixed emotions in his heart. .

"Well! Anyway, he has no other choice, so he might as well make a bold move. Bet!" The old man laughed "hehe", "He knows that if he is about to die, someone will come to take him away, that one Maybe people will simply choose his body as the new container, because he has said so to him more than once. Therefore, if you want to experience the 'tail ceremony', you only need to set the conditions well, and the rest depends on fate .”
