"If I say I don't agree, will you regret it and think you should let me die there?"
Song Zhi shook his head: "I never assume about the past."
"I can't promise you. You want me to participate in a research project that took the lives of all my teammates? Don't be kidding, I don't know how much I want to kill you all in my heart." A cold light flashed in Zhou Yu's eyes.
"How long has it been since you met your brother Zhou Qing?" Song Zhi said suddenly.
Zhou Yu's pupils trembled, and he grabbed Song Zhi's collar: "What did you do to Zhou Qing? Or did you drag him into the water too?"
Song Zhi tapped the back of Zhou Yu's hand with his fingers, signaling him to let go: "Professor Zhou is indeed a talent we cherish, a leader in plant physiology and plant embryology. For every scholar, being able to Participating in cutting-edge research in one's field is a lifelong pursuit, so you shouldn't use 'dragging' to describe our relationship with Professor Zhou."
"How did you persuade him?"
Zhou Yu knew his younger brother. Zhou Qing is a pure scholar, but he has his own bottom line. However, the research of Juli Group has exceeded the bottom line in Zhou Yu's view.
Song Zhi stood up and tidied up the corners of his clothes. Zhou Yu doesn't appreciate the kind of person who doesn't care about his image all the time, but Song Zhi feels to Zhou Yu that he is rigorous and step-by-step.
"The point is not how we persuaded Professor Zhou, but... How long has it been since you had a good chat with your brother? Do you know what he's doing now? Have you ever felt what he needs? Go see him , and then if you tell me categorically that you will never accept the olive branch of our Juli Group, I promise not to disturb your life. Our Juli Group is very trustworthy. "
After speaking, Song Zhi left the room.
The world turned upside down for Zhou Yu in a few minutes. He hasn't had time to immerse himself in the grief of losing a teammate, yet another problem has come.
He went through a life-and-death confrontation with a monster, heard about a parallel world named "Nibelungen", someone was going to hire him to that world, and he was reminded that he had too little connection with his younger brother Zhou Qing.
Everything seems to be planned.
Zhou Yu's recovery time was faster than expected, and he left in a helicopter arranged by Song Zhi a month later.
When the helicopter swept across the sky, Zhou Yucai realized that they had been in a large desert all the time. Once the atmosphere, the sand and dust rose up, it seemed that everything was submerged.
When he arrived in the city, Zhou Yu returned to his single apartment. He received a call from his superior and thought he would be punished, but he didn't expect that the superior gave him a month-long vacation so that he could cultivate well.
Zhou Yu smiled helplessly, no matter how he thought about it, it seemed like the time that Juli Group gave him to "think about it".
He received a call from Meixi, and she was worried about him, but when she heard Zhou Yu's "Xiaomei", she cried directly on the phone.
Fortunately, the superiors did not pursue the negligence of Meixi and the other two liaisons. They should have stopped Zhou Yu at the first time, but they did not. Zhou Yu's team was almost wiped out, and Meixi was also assigned to another action team.
When Meixi asked Zhou Yu what happened in the research institute, Zhou Yu just said, "Xiaomei, live your own life, you don't need to know, you don't need to know."
Sometimes closing your eyes is far happier than chasing the truth.
Meixi tacitly stopped asking questions.
"What about Zhao Cheng and Chen Chong's funeral?" Zhou Yu's fingers froze there.
Although he would not deliberately recall them, their dying appearance was deeply imprinted in Zhou Yu's mind.
"The funeral is over. It is said that they died in the line of duty, and the remains were cremated before they were handed over to their relatives."
The cause of their death is a secret, and it is of course impossible for the family to see their remains.
"I'll go see them." Zhou Yu's eyes fell.
Then there is the relative silence with Meixi.
This afternoon, Zhou Yu went to the cemetery, looked at the tombstones of his teammates and the photos on the tombstones, and remained silent.
The next day, he bought a plane ticket to another city to visit his younger brother Zhou Qing.
Zhou Qing is the youngest university professor in the industry. Although he is young and ambitious, he is very simple.
Zhou Yu came to F University and called his brother, but found that his mobile phone was turned off. He went directly to Zhou Qing's office and met two of his research assistants.
"Hello, I want to find Professor Zhou Qingzhou."
"Professor Zhou is not here for the time being. I don't know who you are, what scientific research organization or society? Or which biotechnology company?"
Zhou Qing's reputation is very loud, and various academic or cooperation invitations are constantly being made, but he is not good at socializing. If there is no necessary activity, his assistants will decline on his behalf.
"I'm Zhou Yu, Professor Zhou's brother."
After Zhou Yu finished speaking, the attitude of the two assistants changed immediately.
"It turned out to be Captain Zhou. Didn't Professor Zhou tell you his ward number?"
Zhou Yu was stunned, Zhou Qing was hospitalized? But he didn't even know.
There was no superfluous expression on his face, and he just followed the assistant's words: "Yes, he forgot to tell me. You all know his character, and important things are always forgotten."
"Professor Zhou lives in the special ward No. 3 of the city's first general hospital."
"thanks."
The bad premonition in Zhou Yu's heart continued to expand. Why didn't Zhou Qing tell his only elder brother when he was ill? And he still lives in a special ward... What's wrong with him
Twenty minutes later, Zhou Yu came to the First General Hospital, where he learned that Zhou Qing had just completed the removal of the glioma a few hours ago. Zhou Qing's attending doctor told Zhou Yu that this tumor is malignant and the recurrence rate is extremely high. Although Zhou Qing's operation was very successful, it is expected that there will be a recurrence in about six months to a year. Zhou Qing's brain will gradually be crowded with tumors, and may gradually lose sight, mobility, and breathing.
Zhou Yu's fingertips trembled.
The teammates are what he has lost, and the established results cannot be changed.
And his younger brother Zhou Qing was the one he was about to lose. He is willing to do anything to save Zhou Qing, but at the same time he also knows that he cannot compete with the laws of nature.
Zhou Yu had been sitting beside Zhou Qing's bed, waiting for him to wake up. in the process of waiting. He kept recalling what Song Zhi had said to him.
"How long has it been since you had a good chat with your little brother? Do you know how he's doing now? Have you ever felt what he needs? Go see him, and if you tell me you'll never accept us Juli Group's employment, I promise not to disturb your life. Our Juli Group is very trustworthy."
Does Song Zhi mean that Zhou Qing can be rescued with the top technology level of Juli Group? He wants to use Zhou Qing's life as a bargaining chip
Zhou Yu is a very determined person. He has always been clear about what he has lost, what he can get with his own efforts, what must be done, and what he has to protect even if he gives everything.
Several hours have passed, Zhou Yu has been sitting still on the side of the bed, and the surrounding medical staff have also come to check several times, but they have not disturbed Zhou Yu's thinking.
When Zhou Yu came back to his senses, it was already dark outside the ward, and even the corridor was very quiet, it was midnight. Zhou Qing in the hospital bed did not know when he woke up. He looked at Zhou Yu with calm eyes, and he didn't know how long he looked at it.
"Zhou Qing, you're awake..."
Being watched by Zhou Qing with that penetrating animal gaze, he didn't know what to say for a while.
"I didn't expect you to come." Zhou Qing said slowly.
His voice was hoarse. There was no trace of blood on the pale face, and the whole person lost a lot of weight.
"I'm your brother." Zhou Yu said.
I don't know since when, the connection between him and Zhou Qing has become less and less. Is it because Zhou Qing is obsessed with research and he is busy with various tasks, or is it because they are in different cities? Or maybe it's just that there is less and less intersection between them.
"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about my condition. I just think... Telling you won't change anything. And... You're often on dangerous missions, and I'll distract you."
Zhou Qing lowered his eyes.
"Your operation was very successful, but after all, the operation is performed on your brain, which is too complicated and delicate. Even touching a little nerve may affect your mobility or other aspects."
"I know." Zhou Qing smiled, "Since I recovered and realized that now, there is no discomfort for the time being. When you were in a daze, I reviewed the research I was doing and found that my thinking and memory skills should be It didn't matter. I tried moving my fingers and toes, and it felt good. After all, I was performed by Daniel Benn, the world's number one surgeon in brain surgery."
Zhou Yu frowned.
Daniel Benn, the world's number one brain surgeon, is definitely not something that Zhou Qing can invite.
"It's Juli Group." Zhou Qing answered Zhou Yu's question directly.
"What about the conditions?"
"The condition is that I want to participate in their scientific research project called 'Ring of the Nibelung', and the location is in another world." Zhou Qing carefully observed Zhou Yu's expression, Zhou Yu's calm seemed to have expected everything, " You don't ask me what the Juli Group does, or what the 'Ring of the Nibelung' is, and you're not even surprised when I say another world, so you already know?"
"You have never seen a creature from that world. You will die, Zhou Qing."
After a long time, Zhou Yu said.
