Early the next morning, Ophelia got up from the bed, pressing her forehead. She looked at Du Lin, who was sleeping beside her, and rubbed her temples for a while.
Inexplicably, she always felt a pain in her head. This had never happened before, as if someone had hit her head with an axe.
Her memory of what happened last night was a little blurry. She only remembered that she drank some wine, and then she became not quiet at all. In the end, she forgot everything.
Drinking is really not good!
She looked at Du Lin, who was still sleeping, and quietly rolled out of bed. This was in the countryside, not like the city. There was no separate bathroom, and even the public bathroom was a bit... scary.
Because washing up in that bathroom makes people feel scared. The occasional cold wind blowing in not only causes physical discomfort, but more importantly, it means that the shabby bathroom is not sealed, it has gaps.
There is a gap, which means that you can see things outside the bathroom at a suitable angle. Of course, if there are people outside, you can also see the scenery inside the bathroom. This is too scary.
Moreover, the slippery, moss-covered ground and the rotten-smelling wooden boards were really bad. She could fully imagine how terrible it would be here when summer arrived.
All kinds of bugs that like darkness and dampness will crowd every corner here. She has heard people describe the toilets and bathrooms in the countryside, and the thought of this even gave her a layer of goosebumps on her butt.
After simply changing into a set of clothes, she glanced at Du Lin casually and then looked back, then she was attracted by Du Lin's clothes on the hanger.
There was a holster inside his clothes, and the holster contained an obviously different pistol.
The girl rarely touches Dulin's personal belongings, out of respect for other people's personality and respect for her own personality, but this time she was very curious because she seemed to have seen this gun somewhere.
She slightly opened the clothes that covered the gun body, revealing the complete holster. The silver-white pistol in the holster had beautiful lines that were different from other pistols.
The lines that should have been square and industrial and simple were actually rotated and twisted, but they did not affect the function of the gun itself. As for why she knew this, it was not difficult to guess.
Because Dulin carries it with him, Dulin is a very realistic person, although sometimes he can become very romantic, and he basically doesn't like things that have no practical use.
This gun must be able to be used normally, that's why it is carried with you. It's that simple.
She looked at the gun. It was a bit heavy. When she turned the holster around, her eyes were attracted by the blue gem on the back of the gun.
Depending on the viewing angle, the thumb-wide blue gem seemed to have streaks of brilliance flowing under the gem mirror. She was a little surprised. This gem was quite beautiful, but it seemed a bit... when inlaid on a firearm.
It should be the style of the early and middle Guart dynasties. The "flowing" process of the lines produces some aesthetics that are not in line with pragmatism. This is an obvious effect brought about by artistic changes.
Letting go and hanging the clothes again, she quietly left the room and closed the door.
The moment the door was closed tightly, Du Lin opened his eyes. It seemed that he had fainted. He still needed to observe what happened next.
Life in Alfalfa Town always passes slowly, as if the world here and the outside world exist in two different forms.
In the outside world, every day's time becomes a clever little naughty thing, slipping away from me inadvertently. When I come back to my senses, a long time has passed.
But here, time slows down again, from morning, to morning, to noon, to afternoon, to evening, to night, to the first half of the night, to the second half of the night, to late night...
Each time period is so distinct, and the change between each time period can be clearly noticed. Everyone can watch the gravel of time slowly passing through the fingers.
Being used to living a fast-paced life, suddenly slowing down the pace of life is indeed a kind of enjoyment and relaxation.
Du Lin was sitting on an easy chair at the door, with a small stove beside him. The current temperature in Alfalfa Town was only about ten degrees, which was actually much better than in the north.
It has already been minus ten degrees Celsius in the north, and it has been minus thirty or forty degrees near the snowfields. This makes people living in the south, including Du Lin, unable to imagine how the northerners live and survive.
"Have you read the newspaper? Hands Medical Group has overcome the current difficulties in surgery. They completed the first organ transplant..." Mason read the headline in the newspaper with an exaggerated expression, "Today They can put someone's stomach into another person's stomach, and maybe before long, they can put our brains into someone else's head."
“Medical science is really too scary, or in other words, everything related to medicine is too scary!”
Handes Medical Group is one of the largest medical groups in the empire. Several medical groups have joined forces to control the entire empire's medical and medical device manufacturing fields. They are the industry that silently makes the most money.
On the trading boards of the three major banks, the stock prices of these medical groups are among the highest, because everyone knows very well that it is impossible for humans not to get sick in their long and short life. As long as they get sick, eventually people will All the money earned through hard work was given to the medical group.
This is also the main reason why the medical group has grown to a terrifying scale but has no negative reviews. After all, these private medical institutions have been offended and stiffed. They will really reject certain patients’ medical applications. After all, these medical institutions are all Privately owned and operated for profit.
Serve whomever you love, and no one can force them to do so.
These medical groups are actually divided into fields, such as Hands Medical Group. Their main focus is surgery, including organ transplantation.
In fact, people have been discussing the feasibility of this issue for a long time. It was not until last year that Handes Medical Group teamed up with another medical group to develop a brand-new drug, Minkang (transliteration).
The biggest feature of this drug is that it can effectively resolve rejection reactions and has achieved extremely significant results on most animals and a small number of volunteers who voluntarily participated in medical experiments.
Among the 100 volunteers who participated in the organ transplantation, 82 people survived healthily. Only 4 of the 18 people who died died of rejection, and the others were due to problems with the operation itself and some other factors. Other unexpected problems include non-rejection death such as acute organ failure.
Preliminarily, this has been a great success. After about a year and a half of further research and development, the new generation of Minkang and the more mature organ transplantation process can ensure that the one-year survival rate after transplantation exceeds 7%. ten.
With such an excellent figure, Handes Medical Group began to officially promote this business to the front desk and the world.
The sensation caused by this news cannot be represented by such a simple expression as Mason. When Hands Medical Group released this news yesterday, their stock price soared by 17% before the close, not counting decimals.
Such a terrifying increase is enough to make people look up to and fear for a medical group with a market value of billions. What is even more frightening is that at the same time, Handes Medical Group received some unnamed requests from all over the world, but Donations from well-wishers who left an accurate way to authenticate.
Ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, to millions or even tens of millions, the entire top management of Handes Medical Group has been stunned by the series of good news.
What’s even more frightening is that there is an additional contraband in the underground world—organs!
In fact, since yesterday, the First Research Center directly under the headquarters of Handes Medical Group has received seventeen patients with special identities. These people all have the same problem, and some organs are failing or necrotic.
Their lives are short, but they are all rich. Before that, they were desperate. Money is not everything, because no matter how much money you spend, you can't buy more time and health.
But now, they suddenly understand that money is omnipotent. Not only can they enjoy the best things in the world with money, they can also buy themselves life, health, and more time.
Let’s not discuss where the transplanted organs come from. In short, this news is enough to make many people and many things different.
As for transplanting the brain, that is just a beautiful wish. In another world with more advanced technology, this grand goal has not yet been achieved. How can it be possible to achieve this goal in this relatively backward world.
Mr. Kesma has many newspapers at home, some of which are local newspapers in Kansas. Because Mason is the mayor of Turner City, he actually pays close attention to these things.
Other newspapers are newspapers from Ambiro State, as well as some more comprehensive newspapers with a certain "status", such as the Empire Daily News.
These newspapers greatly enriched Mr. Kesma's life. He would always have time to sit in the sun on the big millstone in the central square of the town where people gathered, and read some interesting stories in a voice that could be heard by most of the town. News about Mason and Dooling.
Of course, he was just appreciating it, not showing off, and he wouldn't admit it.
The two brothers were reading newspapers. As they watched, Mason suddenly walked up to Dulin and placed one of the newspapers in front of him. He glanced up and frowned slightly.
There was a picture in the newspaper. Without any introduction, he could identify the person in the picture through the black and white and somewhat blurry graphics, Merlin.
Reports said that Meilin had a secret meeting with a young woman late at night, and the two checked into a resort hotel in a southern resort city. They came out together at noon the next day.
This woman is obviously not Suri.
Due to the soaring momentum of the technology development company, Merlin has also become a new business star in the empire. In addition to the polymer fiber fabrics and some small household appliances that are currently selling horribly, Merlin also holds a large number of patents.
Even several military industrial groups are negotiating with technology development companies and plan to apply for one-time authorization of several chemical patent formulas.
The authoritative appraisal company on Xie Lisi Street believes that the market value of technology development companies will exceed 100 million stars in the next ten years, and Merlin has therefore become a "big man" who is willing to make friends with him.
Maybe it's because he became famous, famous, and rich, that certain aspects of his personality began to become more prominent.
In fact, this was not Merlin's first private meeting with other women. Even Suri knew some of the situation, but she was very sensible and did not argue about it, but chose to ignore it.
Due to Su Rui's indulgence and other reasons, Merlin, who had been peeping at the widow's bath since he was a child, had been wandering among the flowers for a long time. It was only this time that he was exposed, because these reporters in the south had not yet felt Dulin's true nature. deterrence, dare to report these things.
"He has a much more exciting life than us, and he can even take his girlfriend to the south for vacation..." Mason was full of envy in his words. There is nothing more comfortable than sunbathing on a warm beach in winter. , and there are beautiful women by his side.
He didn't subconsciously think that this was a wrong behavior, but instead thought that this was what men should do.
I have to say that both the Guarts and the Ogdins seem to have the same sentiments in this regard, which may be why the women's rights movement is currently in full swing.
Dulin looked away from the newspaper and shrugged, "But it's not good to do this. He is not young anymore. Even if some things cannot be stopped, they cannot be done so obviously."
The reason why Su Rui was chosen as Merlin's marriage partner was because this money-worshiping girl valued wealth and status more than anything else. As long as Du Lin was powerful and Merlin had some family fortune, that woman would not have any problems. The problem.
For many girls who worship money, there is nothing they cannot do in order to keep the life, wealth and status their husbands have given them.
There are even some people who are trying to make a name for themselves, taking advantage of some people's addiction to special games, finding some girls who worship money to marry, and asking them to do some unspeakable things.
After the use is over, he can send them away by giving them a breakup fee, but he can obtain extremely rare resources, more wealth and status, and opportunities to climb up.
So what Merlin is doing now is actually more dangerous than other more egregious things!
Because the consequences of his behavior will touch Suri's sensitive nerves, making her feel that she may be replaced by a younger and more beautiful currency pool anytime and anywhere.
It's time to talk to Merlin, we can't let him continue like this, something will happen!
