"You're really going to Africa, Lee, you must be joking. The situation in Doman is not stable, the armed forces of the opposition are even able to compete with the government. Putting that aside and talking about the conditions there, it's not a A place to do research." Kent was going crazy.
He thought that what Li Zheng said in the lobby on the first floor of the United Nations was to appease Baburu's procrastination, but he didn't think that this little genius actually planned to go to Africa!
Li Zheng rubbed his temples helplessly, "Blair, you know, we do have the most advanced equipment and the most complete material conditions here, but the most important thing is missing - the research object. There is no experiment. It can be done without subjects."
"Or do you have the confidence to convince Mrs. Anna's family to hand over her body? Or let the few American citizens who are infected with Doc's disease lie on the experimental table obediently?"
Kent pursed his lips.
After a while, he couldn't help but say again: "There are many diseases that can be studied in the world, such as cancer, such as..." Seeing Li Zheng quietly looking into his eyes, Kent couldn't continue.
He touched his nose, "Okay, I'll take care of the medical support team."
Hearing this, Li Zheng finally showed a smile on his face. That's why he came to see Kent today.
This has to be said to be an ironic thing. Some people have worked hard for more than ten years, and some people can't do what they can't do with their lives.
Li Zheng returned from Kent Blair's house, Zhao Mu had been waiting for him in the hotel for a long time.
Because of Zhao Mu's illness, the Chinese delegation stayed in New York for two more days. Just yesterday afternoon, Zhao Mu was discharged from the hospital. It was time for the Chinese delegation to leave.
"Xiao Zheng, I'm going back, are you really not going with me?" Zhao Mu's face still looked a little ill, but the foreign exchange brought by the Hua Guo delegation was running out, so he had to leave the hospital in a hurry.
"President Xian should have told you what happened in the United Nations Building. No one can believe it. Since he agreed, no matter if he can do it or not, he must try it, right?" Li Zheng said.
Zhao Mu's face was full of complicated expressions, and he could realize that his grandson had already stood at a height he could not imagine. I can't go back, I can't go back, I can't go back to that time, when Li Zheng was only a little old, and he would call him grandpa by hugging his calf.
"I see." Zhao Mu patted Li Zheng's shoulder, "Do what you want, just a little, pay attention to safety. Your mother... She misses you very much."
Li Zheng's eyelids moved slightly, but the expression on his face did not change a little because of these words. Seeing this, Zhao Mu sighed heavily, stopped talking, shook his head and walked into the team of the delegation.
Mother? Li Zheng watched the Hua Guo delegation pass through the revolving door, and fiddled with the watch on his wrist. According to Zhao Mu, Zhao Qiuhua should have seen her, but she didn't come to him, is it because of shame
The corners of Li Zheng's mouth twitched slightly. If this is the case, then let her shame last longer.
After Zhao Mu left, Li Zheng stayed in New York for two more days, mainly to buy some equipment and equipment to take with him. It is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. Although Kent agreed to help with the medical support team, he made more preparations. always right.
"Didn't you say you came to New York to do business?" In the past few days, Liang Zhe has been staying by Li Zheng's side almost all the time, never leaving.
Liang Zhe glanced at Li Zheng and said nothing.
Ever since Li Zheng said he was going to Africa, he has been like a dead man, chasing and not being able to drive away, but refusing to give people a good face, Li Zheng was both angry and funny in his heart.
"Have you lost your temper? I know you're worried about me. In fact, Africa is not as dangerous as you think." The dangers in Africa are nothing more than war and disease. Li Zheng bears the name of the United Nations, plus the identity of the inventor of betadine. , whether it is the government army or the opposition, as long as he has a little brain, he will not move him. As for diseases, the prevalence of diseases in Africa is simply because there are no medicines, few medicines and the inability to afford medicines. He has brought enough medicine.
"Can't we not go? I can donate more medical equipment in Liang's name. If the doctor wants a researcher, I can recruit people." Liang Zhe's lips were tightly pressed into a line.
Li Zheng was taken aback when he heard it, Liang Zhe's words were very logical and very feasible. But what was strange to him was that Liang Zhe could say such a thing so rightly. It's obviously just his business.
This is obviously just his business, Li Zheng thought so, and said so.
"Huh", the air pressure around Liang Zhe's body suddenly dropped, and his face seemed to be covered with ice, and he wanted to write the words "I'm not happy" on his face.
Li Zheng laughed in his heart, "Did I say something wrong?" He looked at Liang Zhe with an aggrieved expression. He felt numb in his heart, as if a few ants were crawling on his heart. What kind of emotion, but I find this feeling unexpectedly comfortable.
Liang Zhe stared at Li Zheng without blinking, until he stared at him with a guilty conscience, and then suddenly said, "I... like you."
"I like you, so your business is mine." Liang Zhe's face was serious, his eyes were calm, and there was no evasion, as if he was announcing some solemn and important event.
Li Zheng's mouth widened in astonishment.
"What?" He thought he had heard it wrong.
"I said, I like you." Liang Zhe repeated word for word, he was like a persistent child, unwilling to let go of any change in Li Zheng's expression.
Li Zheng took two steps back, and his usual calm face showed two points of embarrassment, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do, I'll go back to my room!"
like? What a joke, they are all male, although male and female are only the difference between XY chromosomes, but XY is still different! He likes him, is that the like
Li Zheng can deduce thousands of words from the humanities, biology, society and other aspects to explain that it is not suitable for men to be with men.
But what shocked him was that he didn't dislike it, and he didn't have any disgust for Liang Zhe's confession. Maybe it's because too many things have happened recently, and his nerves are too tense, it must be like this!
**
The next day, Li Zheng boarded the plane to Doman on time. With him, there is the United Nations medical aid team.
The medical team is led by a professor-level doctor. There are five doctors under him, four men and one woman, all of whom seem to be very optimistic and easy to get along with.
Doman is a city-state, that is, the city of Doman represents a country. In Africa, there are still many such countries, and they have been caught up in war for a long time. City names also changed according to the ruler. Therefore, even on the world map, the place Doman cannot be found.
"Li, what should we call you? Professor or researcher?" a medical staff asked.
"Just call me by my name." Li Zheng replied with a smile.
Hearing words like "He is also kind", Li Zheng smiled and looked out the window.
Thinking of the scene this morning, he wanted to poke two holes in his head, how could he agree to such a thing!
In the morning, because of the incident the previous afternoon, Li Zheng wanted to leave secretly, but when Li Zheng's door opened, the door of Liang Zhe's room next to him also opened.
The eyes of the two met, and Li Zheng showed an embarrassed smile, "Morning."
"morning."
After saying this, there was a strange silence between the two.
Li Zheng laughed dryly, trying to get around Liang Zhe, but saw Liang Zhe move, blocking his way.
"Answer."
"what?"
Li Zheng still didn't respond.
Liang Zhe pursed his lips, "It's been a day, your answer?"
Li Zheng was stunned, "One day? How could such an important matter be considered clearly in one day!"
When Liang Zhe heard the words, his face was relieved a lot, "Well. You talk a lot. Then you need to think about it for two more days." He turned sideways and walked out of the way.
That's what happened, so Li Zheng was confused and promised Liang Zhe to think about it...
"Sir, do you need coffee?" The flight attendant's gentle voice interrupted Li Zheng's thoughts.
"I do not need it, thank you."
Li Zheng sighed, the car must have a way to the front of the mountain, let's talk about it when we go back from Africa.
From New York to Dorman, almost halfway around the world, and Dorman Airport had no passenger planes due to the war. Li Zheng and the United Nations medical aid team had to go to the airport of a neighboring country first, and then took the United Nations special car to drive into Doman.
As soon as the cabin of the plane was opened, a wave of heat hit the face. There was a pungent smell of burnt rubber in the hot air, Li Zheng frowned slightly and covered his mouth and nose slightly.
The United Nations has troops stationed in many parts of Africa. Although this garrison bears the name of the United Nations, it is actually soldiers of various countries. As it happens, most of the UN troops stationed in Doman are Chinese.
"Mr. Li, Dr. Kachi, the car has been parked outside the airport, please come with us." The two Chinese people dressed in UN garrison uniforms said in fluent English.
Li Zheng and Dr. Kaqi nodded and followed them forward.
The airport in this small African country is really dilapidated. The low buildings and the surrounding area of the airport are surrounded by barbed wire.
After leaving the airport, a bus stopped at the gate of the airport.
The United Nations flag was hung on the bus, surrounded by four or five military jeeps. There were yellow-skinned and dark-eyed Chinese on the military jeeps, as well as blond Europeans and Americans.
Li Zheng and the medical support team got into the car, and the bus started slowly.
The author has something to say: Liang Zhe: I like you, I like you, I like you.
Li Zheng: I know
Liang Zhe: What about your answer? Knead a handkerchief
Li Zheng: Such a big thing shouldn't make people think about it!
