In a coastal villa in the Life Sciences City, two men sat opposite each other. In front of them was a square table with chess pieces being arranged on the table.
The two of them sat in front of the square table, constantly contemplating, but if you look at it from the perspective of a third party, you will find that their faces are about 45% similar.
Just like a pair of twin brothers.
However, these two people are not actually brothers, but a father and son.
The father and son are none other than James Watson and his son Watson Jr.
Three months have passed since James Watson's surgery.
In the past three months, James Watson has not only fully recovered, but also received treatment from an aging reversal program, allowing his entire body to return to its peak state at the age of forty, and the same goes for his son Watson Jr.
At this time, both of them had joined the Life Sciences City and became researchers here, and James Watson was directly promoted to a professor-level researcher.
However, there was no happy expression on little Watson's face. Instead, there was an occasional flash of sadness in his eyes.
More than two months ago, when his father had just been treated, he received the bad news that his son Bruno had died. His body was found in a stinking ditch in Chicago. It was suspected that he died in a gang fight.
With great grief, he hurriedly held a funeral for the white-haired person to send the black-haired person to him, and simply brought all the remaining family members to Life Science City and lived here.
"Look away, kid."
Seeing the sadness on his son's face, Watson said lightly, "People will always die, and don't you have two sons? Now that you are here, everything will get better... "
"maybe."
Little Watson nodded reluctantly, took out the king chess piece and took a step.
Just as the two were fighting, there was suddenly a loud conversation outside the villa's door, and then a step came closer and closer. Soon, there was a knock on the study door where they were.
"Please come in!"
Little Watson shouted over his shoulder.
Following his voice, an old white woman stuck her head in and said, "There is a black man outside who wants to see Watson."
"Want to see father?"
Little Watson turned his head and asked in surprise.
"Oh, I almost forgot."
Only then did Watson realize. He looked at the time, slapped his head, and laughed happily, "It's been so long since I've had no work. Someone called me yesterday and informed me that starting today, I'm going to be in charge of the project. .”
"Is this true? Congratulations, father."
Little Watson suddenly looked overjoyed. Naturally, it was the news from the top management of Blacklight Technology that allowed Watson to take over the project. Obviously, the top management of Blacklight Technology still attached great importance to Watson's abilities. In any case, this would be a great development for the Watson family. It's a good thing for people.
The two hugged immediately, and Watson said to the old woman waiting at the door, "Go and invite him in. Tell them that I will change my clothes and come out."
About ten minutes later, Watson adjusted his electronic prosthetic eye, walked out of the room with Watson Jr., and immediately saw a man wearing a black suit sitting on the sofa in the living room.
"Hello Mr. James Watson!"
Seeing Watson come out, the black man immediately stood up from the sofa, walked up to shake hands with Watson enthusiastically, and at the same time took out his ID, "I am Tom, the deputy director of the Blackwatch Company's Biological Research Center. ,Nice to meet you."
"Me too."
Watson shook hands with the other party and said, "Are you here to pick me up?"
"Yes, I have a special project for you."
Tom said enthusiastically, "A very, very, very cool project, uh... Strictly speaking, it's not me, but an order passed down from above. Obviously, the higher ups attach great importance to you. We'll talk about the specific project on the way."
"good."
Watson said to the people behind him, "I won't have lunch at home." Then he followed the Tom in front of him and left the villa.
A car had parked outside the door, and as the two of them got into the car, Tom immediately drove towards the city center.
"Do you have any information? I want to know what the project I am responsible for is about."
On the way, Watson said a little bored, "You know, I haven't done research for twenty or thirty years. I don't know if I am still qualified for this job now."
"I believe you will be able to do it soon."
Tom replied absentmindedly, "Actually, I don't know what aspect you are responsible for, because I am only responsible for sending you to a location, and I am not involved in other things."
"Huh? What do you mean?"
Watson was a little surprised, "Aren't you the deputy director of the Biological Research Center?"
"That's just the superficial identity the company gave me."
Tom shrugged, with an innocent look on his face, "My real position is the 'puller' at the Biological Research Center in God's Forbidden Zone. I am responsible for pulling the scientific researchers of the Biological Research Center into the 'spire' for the first time."
Watson was even more surprised. He stared closely at Tom who was driving next to him, "What is God's forbidden area? What is the spire?"
"Well, this matter is very complicated. Usually I am not willing to explain it, because you will understand it yourself soon."
Tom continued to reply, "But I'm bored now, so I'll explain."
"The God's Forbidden Zone is an organization, a special secret organization supported and jointly funded by dozens of consortiums."
"This organization is hidden from the public and has its own mission to extend human lifespan, such as technology to cure your brain damage, aging reversal treatment technology, and a variety of cancer targeted drugs that will be released soon, etc. These are actually forbidden areas. Researched technology.”
“You mean, Blacklight Biotech Group is God’s forbidden zone?”
Watson said in shock.
"No, it should be said that Blacklight Technology is a company under the God's Forbidden Zone."
Tom laughed and said, "It's shocking, isn't it? Does it feel like opening the door to a new world?"
"If what you're saying is true, that's crazy."
Watson said seriously, "Doesn't it mean that it is even more powerful than the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory that I chaired?"
"What is Cold Spring Harbor? How many projects can it have and how much funding does it have?"
Tom curled his lips disdainfully, "The 'spire' you are going to go to later is the world's top laboratory. There are more than thirty projects running in it, and the capital chain reaches tens of billions of dollars. There is no other laboratory in the world." How can a laboratory be of such scale..."
"so much?"
Watson suddenly became excited, "But why have I never heard of such a huge laboratory? If it is hidden, where do the resources it consumes come from?"
Seeing the other party's surprised expression, Tom laughed in a wicked way, "You will know soon..."
Soon, Tom drove the car to the city center and parked it in the Black Light Plaza, the largest commercial center in Life Sciences City.
The vehicle drove directly into the underground parking lot of Black Light Plaza and stopped in a parking space near the elevator.
"Well, please come with me, Mr. Watson."
Tom got out of the car first and led Watson toward the elevator.
Watson followed suspiciously, and finally they both got on the elevator.
But after getting on the elevator, Tom did not touch the row of floor buttons on his right. Instead, he raised his head and looked at a monitor above his head.
Immediately, a cold female electronic voice came out, "Identity confirmed - C1 level administrator Tom Edward, mission confirmed - pull 'James Watson' into the A001 Spire Experimental Base and begin deportation."
As the words of the electronic voice came out, the entire elevator began to buzz.
But contrary to Watson's expectation, the elevator did not go upwards, but instead ran downwards!
Ten seconds later, the elevator stopped again, and then the elevator door dinged open, revealing a brightly lit subway station.
The subway station occupies a large area. It is called a subway station because two trams with black light technology logos can be seen parked on the track in front of them. On the platform, there are two people wearing black uniforms holding shouts. The unnamed soldier with strange firearms stood upright, seemingly on guard.
"here it is… "
Watson's eyes became even more astonished. He pointed at the vast subway station and the piles of supplies placed on the platform. He was speechless for a long time.
Tom was the first to step forward. He directly opened the door of the tram in front and walked up. Then he waved to Watson, "Mr. Watson, don't be stunned. My task is not completed yet."
Watson then hesitantly stepped onto the tram.
The space inside the tram is very spacious, and there are three rows of luxurious seats that can accommodate ten passengers. There is no driver in the carriage and it is completely automated.
There was also a large-sized LCD monitor at the front of the car. As the two people got on the car, the monitor automatically started playing cartoons.
Watson sat on one of the seats in surprise, while Tom beside him had long been accustomed to all this. He walked directly to the end of the tram, skillfully found two disposable paper cups in front of a beverage machine, and then turned around Asked, "Would you like Coke or Sprite, or coffee and Fanta?"
"Please give me a cup of hot coffee, thank you."
Watson replied, and then he felt a tremor in his crotch. It turned out that the tram started to move.
Immediately, the entire tram began to drive into the extremely dark tunnel ahead.
Watson took the paper cup with the Black Light Technology logo printed on it and quickly took two sips. After he finished the steaming coffee, he managed to calm down. Then he looked at his side, only to find that there were no windows at all on the tram. It’s just the circular logo of Blacklight Technology.
The entire tram is enclosed.
"No need to panic, man."
Tom patted Watson leisurely, "I know this is crazy, but trust me, you will soon like everything you see next, because our destination is a holy place of biological sciences."
"Well... no, I mean yes..."
Watson smiled bitterly, "Are we going to a national secret laboratory now?"
"No, it has nothing to do with the country. This is just a laboratory under God's forbidden zone."
Tom laughed. It was obvious that as a tow person, he enjoyed the surprise and restlessness every time he saw the person he was towing.
After many twists and turns, when Watson got off the tram, boarded the underground elevator again, and then passed through the glass corridor and three nuclear bunker doors, Tom finally took Watson to the Spire Experimental Base.
However, after entering the steeple, what was waiting outside was a character that Tom had not expected.
Looking at the young man with black hair, black eyes and a stern expression at the top of the escalator, Tom's eyes suddenly widened, "It's actually you, Your Excellency Chen Chen!"
Chen Chen nodded and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work. Your work is done and you can go back."
"yes."
Tom didn't dare to say anything more and went back the same way.
Suddenly, Watson was the only one left at the scene.
"Mr. Watson, long time no see."
After Tom left, Chen Chen turned to look at Watson who was at a loss and said, "You seem to be recovering well."
"If it weren't for my memory problems, I think it would be the first time we met."
Watson was a little confused and asked, "Is it the memory I lost due to brain damage?"
"No, it is indeed the first time you have seen me, but it is not the first time I have seen you."
Chen Chen made an invitation gesture, "Your name is already well known to me. I came to visit you many times during your coma, so... Next, let me show you around this place."
"No need, I dare not waste your time."
Watson declined Chen Chen's invitation and said with a serious expression, "If I remember correctly, the founder of Blackwatch Company is called Chen Chen. I don't dare to waste your time. Let's go directly to the topic. I just don't know what you want. No matter what project I am asked to take charge of, I am actually more interested in my next work than in the laboratory that I can visit at any time."
"That would be great."
Chen Chen smiled when he heard this, and then he pointed to a huge Mayan pyramid-shaped building in front of him, "Let's go directly to the Minaret Laboratory. That will be where you will work for a long time."
With that said, the two walked directly to the Spire Laboratory.
"The reason I asked you to lead this project this time is because you are one of the top biologists in the Earth Federation. No one else is qualified for this research except you."
As Chen Chen spoke, he led Watson into the Spire Laboratory. When he came to a fully enclosed door on the top floor, there were various danger instructions on the door, one of which made Watson suddenly surprised.
"Biosafety Level 5?"
Watson was stunned, and suddenly said in astonishment, "Isn't the highest level biosafety laboratory rated by the Earth Federation Level 4? Why is there Level 5?"
"Because this place contains dangerous viruses that have not been discovered by the Earth Federation."
Chen Chen explained, "The viruses here are all the most deadly filoviruses. They have several branches. Some branches can destroy the world within a few months, while others can subvert human biology so far. This is the project you are hosting."
"And the name of this virus is...G virus."
