Yan Suizhi didn't sleep peacefully, her brows were always slightly wrinkled, and occasionally she was relieved for a moment by the shadows of lights passing by outside the car.
Gu Yan originally wanted to darken the color of the car window on his side to block the light, but changed his mind after noticing this detail.
When the shuttle was speeding smoothly on Baiying Avenue, Yan Suizhi woke up for a few seconds and looked out the window with half-open eyes, "Where are you?"
Perhaps because of his discomfort, he was a little too lazy to open his mouth when speaking, and he was hoarse and drowsy, looking very tired.
This is also the only one of Yan Suizhi, only the closest people will see it, but Gu Yan would rather have as few such opportunities as possible.
"On the way." Gu Yan asked in a low voice, "Does it still hurt?"
"It's much better." Yan Suizhi glanced at the extra blanket on his body at some point, hid his chin, then glanced lazily out of the window, and asked, "Where is this going?"
Gu Yan: "Go home."
Yan Suizhi said angrily, "Where did I learn to deceive people... I'm a road idiot, I still know the road I pass every day... If I go back to the garden in the city, I won't go through this road at all.
His voice is not high, and there will be a gap between each sentence. It can be judged from the speed of speech alone that the headache and stomach pain have not been relieved much.
Gu Yan lowered his head against his forehead to test the temperature, and only then did he admit in a deep voice, "Go to the hospital."
"Why are you going to the hospital?" Yan Suizhi let him take his temperature, but his fingers quietly stuck out from the blanket, trying to change the driving end point of the control interface, "No. It's not a big problem - tsk, don't block my hand. "
Before he could poke the screen with his fingertips, he was intercepted by Gu Yan halfway, grabbed and stuffed it back into the blanket.
"It doesn't hurt anymore, it's very good." Yan Suizhi looked up at him with a helpless tone.
"Your words have no credibility with me. I learned the ability to deceive people from you, so don't bother." Gu Yan dismissed his unreasonable request unceremoniously.
"… "
Yan Suizhi opened his mouth, wanting to instill in him the quack and crooked theory that "sleep can cure everything", Gu Yan has already opened the screen of the smartphone with one hand, called up a page for him, and said lightly: "If you can't keep going, Just signed this."
"What?" Yan Suizhi raised her eyelids.
"Equal agreement." Gu Yan said, "If I feel unwell and don't want to go to the hospital in the future, if you really don't want to go, I'll consider changing my destination to go home."
Yan Suizhi: "..."
He was silent for a moment, then said helplessly: "You really can catch people's weak spots, why do you still prepare such a thing?"
Gu Yan: "Because I know what kind of person you are, just in case."
Yan Suizhi completely accepted his fate and silently lay back on the back of the chair.
The shuttle car turned around the big bend of Baiying Road, and the warning street light at the corner of the bend was a little dazzling.
Gu Yan stretched out his hand to cover Yan Suizhi's eyes, and his voice became quiet again, "Don't hold on, sleep for a while, there are 20 minutes left."
"Then go to Chun Ivy..." Yan Suizhi took his hand and closed her eyes lazily.
"Um."
"Just to see if Lin Yuan is here."
"Already contacted."
Yan Suizhi pulled the corner of his mouth: "You really..."
…
The flow of people in Ivy Hospital never decreases at night. Sometimes it is busier at night than during the day, but today it is different.
There were not many people in the lobby on the first floor, especially the few green passages opened for infected people were empty. Compared with the grand occasion some time ago, it seemed particularly deserted.
Any outsider who sees this scene will probably feel that the Ivy Hospital has been hit hard and the situation is depressed.
"Here?" Lin Yuan happened to be coming over from the Gene Building and waved to them through the long passage, "Go to my office and say."
He may have just come out of the laboratory, still fully armed, only showing a pair of eyes, if he does not make a sound, it is difficult to recognize at first glance.
After greeting them, Lin Yuan said to a man beside him who was also fully armed with only his eyes exposed, "Go back early, I have me in the office. Get a good night's sleep, your face is really scary these two days."
"Well." The man responded and glanced at Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan.
Yan Suizhi's eyes swept over his exposed eyebrows and stopped for a while.
The other party's water-brown eyes moved, and he nodded here, as a greeting. Then he looked back calmly, and while walking to the locker room on the side of the hall, he took off his mask and outer lab coat.
When he took off his hat, a curly hair was exposed.
It's the curly doctor Jacques White.
"Doctor Bai is on leave?" Yan Suizhi asked Lin Yuan.
"You mean Jacques? Yes, it's sold out today. But I haven't had a good rest for a long time, and no one can stand it anymore. No, I wanted to be on duty, but I was sent back." Lin Yuan looked at it. Pan Yan Suizhi's expression turned and asked, "How are you?"
"It's just a minor illness, I don't feel anything anymore. Attorney Gu insists on tying me here." Yan Suizhi smiled, as if all kinds of discomfort really disappeared after he slept.
"That doesn't matter." Yan Suizhi pointed at the corner of his eyes, "It's this, I'll ask you to check."
"It is true that there is a small mole." Lin Yuan said, "but the color is very light, and it will not come out if you don't look carefully. Let's go upstairs for a test."
He said and blinked at Gu Yan again. "Don't worry, stomach pains are the same as headaches. Don't listen to him."
Gu Yan nodded.
Yan Suizhi: "..."
·
Lin Yuan knew Yan Suizhi's physical condition very well, and he knew what to focus on when testing, so it didn't take long.
But when he got the test results, he frowned and studied for a long time.
"What's wrong?" Gu Yan was a little worried.
"Wait a minute." Lin Yuan beckoned to them, "Come with me to the laboratory and check with another device."
"What equipment?"
"Our hospital currently has the latest and most advanced genetic equipment." Lin Yuan said, "It is dedicated to the laboratory and used for research, but it has not been popularized to the outside world. Of course, it is not so complicated under normal circumstances."
He put the two on lab coats and led them through four biological code doors into a laboratory.
The temperature in the laboratory was low, and there was a burst of cold air. On one side are various complex experimental benches, metal freezers, and on the other side is an experimental cabin covered by glass.
"That's it." Lin Yuan pointed to the experimental cabin and said, "This is a baby bump. The big boss on the top of the ivy is staring at the design. It was just put into the laboratory a while ago. There are only two Decamas in the whole, and one is here. , the other is estimated to be at the headquarters. Except for those who have permission to come in, few people know about this thing."
"Then you just brought it to me for a physical examination?" Yan Suizhi said, "Don't make an application? I'm very worried that you will be fired after the test."
Lin Yuan shook his smartphone dumbfoundedly, "How can I be so bold, I received a private notice from Master Qiao half an hour ago, saying that the boss has a purpose, you two are treated specially, and the equipment is open for use."
Yan Suizhi and Gu Yan looked at each other, thinking that the old fox is the old fox, and everyone who takes care of them is so prescient.
"Then why use this equipment?" Yan Suizhi asked, "What's the problem?"
"It's not." Lin Yuan thought for a moment and comforted: "The test results of this device are more sensitive than ordinary devices. For example, ordinary devices can only detect the remaining traces of genetic modification, you see you have a long-term Correction, there's a short-term correction now, and both are in duration, so normal equipment will show you've done two corrections. But—"
"When your short-term genetic modification reaches the deadline and completely fails, the residual traces will gradually disappear. After a year or two or a little longer, there will be almost no traces. At that time, use ordinary equipment to test, and the results will show that you only have Once a genetic modification has been done, that is the long-term one."
Lin Yuan pointed to the experimental cabin and said: "The difference is that it is still sensitive to almost zero traces. Every five years, ten years or even a hundred years, as long as you sit in it, you will always have two genetic corrections. Not only that, It can also look back and predict."
Yan Suizhi remembered that he had mentioned this gene retrospective technology, but it was still in the experimental stage and it would take some time for it to stabilize.
Lin Yuan let Yan Suizhi sit in the cabin and closed the canopy.
He stood side by side with Gu Yan next to the monitor and carefully adjusted the parameters.
The detection speed of this device is extremely fast. Ten seconds later, Yan Suizhi's genetic information popped up on the display one by one.
The timing of the two gene surgeries, the details of the gene source fragments, the correction results, the duration, and the various changes that occurred in the process...
Everything was so clear at a glance that Gu Yan, a non-professional, could understand it at a glance.
He frowned, pointed to a dazzling red image in the atlas, and the "continuous interference" in the duration, and asked Lin Yuan, "What does this mean?"
Lin Yuan carefully cut out the red map and stored it in the connected analyzer.
"That's why I use this device." Lin Yuan said, "Remember what I told you before? There was a weird clip in his first genetic surgery, but he was not active during the last test. This time is different."
He pointed to the duration and said, "Generally speaking, the duration of genetic surgery is set, and it will not change. But his two gene modifications began to interfere with each other, which was especially obvious in this short period of time. I suspect that it is affected by this clip, so I will use this equipment to analyze it."
"The result of mutual interference is—"
"It's all shortened." Lin Yuan said, "And it's continuously shortened. That is to say, the remaining time for today's measurement and the remaining time for tomorrow's display are likely to be different. The difference depends on the interference effect."
"That is to say—the duration cannot be determined at all?" Gu Yan frowned deeply.
"Look, the remaining time for his first correction became 21 years, the second short-term correction became 8 days, one was reduced by year, the other was reduced by day, the speed could not be the same, will it speed up after that... "Lin Yuan After a pause, "It's hard to say."
Lin Yuan turned another page of the results, pointed to a few lines and said, "This is why the moles on the corners of his eyes appear. After being disturbed, the duration of the period changed too frequently, causing some changes to appear earlier. He has headaches and stomachaches. Physiological discomfort is actually caused by this, which is equivalent to experiencing the late reaction of genetic modification failure in advance."
He said, and glanced at the experimental cabin again.
Yan Suizhi wore an eye patch that blocked the detection light, and his face was calm, as if there was no unbearable discomfort.
However, on the display, the pain level caused by the genetic modification disorder lights up a warning orange-red.
