How important is money when people live in this world
In the past, every time he talked about this issue, Gu Jun would say it was very important.
"I can tell you that there is only one disease in the world, and that is the disease of poverty."
Gu Jun still remembers that three years ago, when he was just 18 years old, he received the admission letter for the eight-year combined undergraduate, master and doctoral studies in the clinical medicine major of Dongzhou University School of Medicine, which is ranked among the top five in the country. At the graduation banquet, how did he say this classic movie line.
Not desolate, but high-spirited, with the appearance of a winner in life who is about to dominate the world.
A stubborn disguise...and a heartbreak that no one knows about.
Yes.
For the orphan who received the sad news of the death of his parents at the age of ten, the five million yuan in various compensations is Gu Jun's only source of income and spiritual support in the next ten years of his life.
The money is first managed by the escrow fund, and after he reaches the age of 18, he can freely dispose of all the inheritance.
He doesn't have any relatives, but he still has money!
Of course, there was only money left.
"Tuhaojun", this is the nickname given to him by his college classmates overtly and secretly, revealing love and ridicule.
Spend a lot of money, treat guests with all kinds of food, drink and entertainment. The above are his only advantages in school.
Probably because the college entrance examination exhausted all the energy and spirit of studying in his life, and he felt that the determination he had made to his mother "I want to be a doctor when I grow up!" was meaningless. After entering university, he completely lost his motivation.
He has changed from a top student to a scumbag, and he either failed his subjects or just passed the pass line. In addition to having fun on weekdays, he still had fun, day and night turned upside down, going to bars and chasing girls, spending his days in drunken dreams...
After a long time, the professors threw away all their expectations of him, and the counselors also gave up. Many students took a detour when they saw him. Everyone said that a person like Gu Jun, apart from insulting the lintel of Dongda University, has nothing to do, and if he messes with him, he will be destroyed together.
Gu Jun didn't make any rebuttals, because he knew in his heart that what everyone said was right, he is a bastard, and he intends to continue to be a bastard.
Until half a year ago.
Gu Jun received the second bad news in his life.
He, brainstem tumor.
Moreover, it was medulloblastoma, the most malignant type of brain stem tumor, and his condition had no chance of surgery.
Even if there is an opportunity for surgery, the average survival period of patients with postoperative radiotherapy and chemotherapy is 0.9 years, which is less than one year.
At that moment, Gu Jun, who had been sluggish for two and a half years, seemed to be drenched in a basin of cold water, and he came to his senses completely.
Tuhao Jun died, and Gu Jun came back.
He began to cheer up and actively treat. However, the brainstem is the nerve center of the human body, and it has always been called the "forbidden area for surgery". At that time, he traveled to many cities and countries, but he couldn't find any hospital that dared to operate on him.
After three months of searching for a doctor with no results, and after searching the world's latest medical information on brain stem tumors, Gu Jun accepted the fact that he had no cure, and money could not cure him.
Then he made two decisions.
First, buy a set of luxury cruise tickets, starting from Dongzhou City, passing through Malacca, and reaching the Indian Ocean. Seize the last time, in this hot summer vacation, go to the place where my parents worked before they died, and fulfill this childhood wish. If not dead, keep traveling the world.
Second, only tens of thousands of yuan was left, and the remaining one million yuan was donated to the Swan Children's Hope Fund for orphan education.
If there is an afterlife, do some good deeds, and hope to have a good birth.
"Hello, Mr. Gu, we have arrived at the Longkan submarine volcanic zone. The deep diving project you booked is ready. Please go to the boat ladder to board the dive within half an hour."
The sweet voice of a waitress pulled Gu Jun, who was sitting in a daze in the open-air cafe on the top deck, back from his thoughts.
"Okay." He nodded, "I can go there now." After that, Yili gave her a tip.
The waitress accepted the tip, and her smile became even brighter. This Mr. Gu is handsome and bold, so he is always happy to serve him. She smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, please come with me." .”
At that moment, Gu Jun followed the waitress to the lower deck of the boat, looking at the surrounding sea, with mixed feelings.
Is this the place where my parents had an accident
Gu Jun didn't like the sea when he was a child. Because he still couldn't understand why his father, who was the captain of the "Sea Bird" scientific research vessel, and the mother of the ship's doctor had to stay at sea for many years, but left him to be raised by a guardianship institution
What are they studying? Is it really more important than your own children
That damn three-no scientific research company, except for the sentence "The Sea Bird sank in a storm, and the whole ship was determined to be sacrificed" and dropped five million, there was no follow-up, the ship was never found, and the body was never found! Before long, that business closed its doors.
What happened that year
The sea surface was strangely dark blue, and the waves were churning constantly, covering up the past.
Sometimes Gu Jun even wondered, are his parents really dead? Maybe they didn't die in the shipwreck, but ended up on a deserted island waiting to be rescued
Or... just sank on the bottom of the sea in this area
Just because he wanted to find the answer, he booked this deep diving project at a high price: tourists enter a boat-shaped submersible that can dive to a depth of 2,000 meters, and watch the volcanic belt on the seabed through the windows. This is not a standard item on the ticket belt, but a special offer for the rich. Because the cost of diving once is very high.
When he came to the edge of the ship ladder and there were still a dozen steps away, Gu Jun saw that besides the captain and other crew members, there were three young tourists, two men and one woman.
"Everyone, this is the legendary Longkan submarine volcanic belt!" One of the young men in his early twenties was holding a mobile phone and seemed to be doing a live broadcast. Reggae style.
Gu Jun heard him introduce mysteriously to the mobile phone: "The local indigenous tribes call this place 'Ham Kanaba', which means 'Devil's Abyss'..."
The other man was a few years older. He was a tall, muscular man with a pink vest on his upper body, showing two thigh-like arms. He was asking the captain impatiently, "How long will we have to wait?"
And that woman looks the youngest, only sixteen or seventeen years old, tall and slender, with a pretty face. She was wearing a stylish jacket and shorts, all in army green, and her long legs with chopsticks were very eye-catching. There was a large tattoo on her left calf, and she didn't know if it was real or pasted up.
She was the first to notice Gu Jun's arrival, but her eyes were cold and arrogant, and she was wielding a saber in her hand, as if strangers should not approach him.
"It's like this. This dive was originally ordered by another customer." The old captain was explaining embarrassingly, and suddenly said happily: "Ah, Mr. Gu came so soon!"
The waitress left under the captain's signal, while Gu Jun continued to walk over to meet everyone's gaze.
The old captain began to introduce. The Reggae guy is called Li Lerui, the muscular guy is called Wu Dong, and the girl in military uniform is called Lin Xiaotang. They are all the "supreme guests" of the cruise ship - the captain hinted with his eyes that they are the kind of powerful sons and sisters in the family who must not be offended.
The three originally wanted to rent a speedboat to play in the nearby waters, but they saw a submersible here, so they also asked to participate in deep diving. The submersible has a total of seven seats, two operators and a safety officer occupy three, and the remaining four tourist seats have been taken by Gu Jun.
Since the submersible has to undergo various safety inspections after every dive, according to the cruise ship's itinerary, there is only one dive opportunity this month. And these three uncles were so excited, the captain had no choice but to negotiate with Gu Jun, and the four of them shared the cost and seats of the dive equally, okay? It's better to be happy alone than to be happy together.
"Okay." Gu Jun shrugged and said, since there are vacancies, it doesn't matter.
"But..." The muscular man Wu Dong was still a little unhappy, wanting to say something with puffy eyes.
And that reggae boy, Li Lerui, was busy live broadcasting by himself all the time, so he didn't participate.
Looking at the girl in military uniform, Gu Jun was suddenly a little puzzled. He felt like he had seen her somewhere... Was he on a cruise ship these days
"What are you looking at?" Lin Xiaotang glared back unhappily after being scrutinized by him, with a fierce expression on his face.
"Look at you." Gu Jun said.
He was so straightforward, Lin Xiaotang choked a little, "You..."
"Choose yourselves, anyway, I don't mind if we all share the same boat." Gu Jun smiled and glanced at the three of them, and then walked down the boat ladder first, not caring so much. One good thing about his life is not long is that he is much calmer when dealing with people and things now.
"Hey boy, stop!" Wu Dong jumped and shouted, "Come back, come back!" But Gu Jun didn't stop.
At some point, Li Lerui ran down the boat ladder to chase after him, with one hand still filming his mobile phone, and the other arm wrapped around Gu Jun's shoulder, and said with a familiar smile, "Old man, don't mind." , that guy Wu Dong is a sand sculpture, a vulgar person. Look at my live broadcast room, every time Wu Dong appears on camera, the audience will frantically brush 'Tie Hanhan'."
"Tie Hanhan." Lin Xiaotang walked past Wu Dong sullenly.
Wu Dong was really depressed, scratching his forehead, "Obviously you guys said you wanted to do it in secret!"
Uh, aren't you guys streaming live? What kind of secret act? Gu Jun couldn't figure it out, the kind where all the members are iron and simple
After procrastinating for a while, everyone finally put on protective equipment under the guidance of the operator, got into the submersible and sat down. There are four rows of seats for tourists. Gu Jun sits in seat 1, Li Lerui in seat 2 on the right, Lin Xiaotang in seat 3 behind, and Wu Dong in seat 4.
Soon, the hatch of the submersible was closed, and they started to dive, and the sea water from blue to black enveloped them, 200 meters, 500 meters, 1000 meters...
At this time, Gu Jun, who had been looking out the window, heard the three of them discussing something.
"Ari, are you sure you are in this sea area?" Wu Dong asked.
"I really don't know how credible this news is..." Lin Xiaotang's tone was full of doubts.
"If you don't believe me, I also believe that guy. What I heard is that it's here... But the ocean and the bottom of the sea are so big, whether we can take pictures depends on our luck." Li Lerui said with certainty that there is no signal on the bottom of the sea to support the live broadcast. But he continued to take video with his mobile phone.
Gu Jun understood that they were here for an adventure. These days, the Internet is always full of bizarre rumors. There have been many sea monster sightings, but there has never been any reliable evidence. Occasionally, a few photos or blurry videos are sent out, which have been proven to be false afterwards. .
But based on the contacts of these three people, the "news" they heard... shouldn't refer to those Internet rumors, right
"Audience." Li Lerui started to shoot the video again, "Look at how dark it is outside, we have dived more than 1,500 meters, not far from the bottom of the sea." In order to take a clearer picture, he simply unfastened his seat belt, Get up and go to the edge of the cabin to shoot outside the window.
"Mr. Li, please go back to your seat and sit down. It's so dangerous. There are many undercurrents on the bottom of the sea..." the old captain advised weakly.
"Very soon." Li Lerui made an OK gesture and continued to clap: "If it weren't for being in a submersible, human beings would be crushed by the pressure of the deep sea..."
Gradually, Gu Jun didn't care about them. Through the light of the searchlight, he looked at the rough bottom of the sea that was vaguely visible outside the adjacent window, and secretly expected to see a dilapidated sunken ship in his heart.
But I am afraid to see such a scene...
I don't know if it was a hallucination caused by a brainstem tumor attack. He suddenly noticed a half-person-high spike protruding from the seabed over there, like a rock, but he seemed to see that it was full of carvings on the surface, all kinds of Textures and patterns…
The more he looked, the more he felt that the carvings became more mysterious, as if they were flowing out blood-colored magma.
Deformed, sick, but full of life, even the darkness is burned.
Boom! ! With a sudden jerk, the magma seemed to erupt and rush straight, and before he had any reaction, it flooded him violently.
Ah... it hurts! ! !
Gu Jun snorted, and covered his head with his hands tightly, the pain was so painful that he was about to explode, and he was covered in cold sweat instantly.
What are these phantoms... Countless indescribable scenes flooded into the depths of his mind, unspeakably weird, terrifying, crazy... It hurts, it hurts! He felt his eyes were bleeding, blood red, he saw the storm, saw a huge figure... rising from the sea...
"There is a vortex, there is an abnormal vortex!" It seems to hear the old captain shouting in a panic, "Go up immediately!! Return to the voyage, hurry!!!"
The submersible suddenly jolted violently. Fortunately, everyone was fixed on their seats, but...
Gu Jun seemed to hear Li Lerui's scream again, "Ah!" and Lin Xiaotang's exclamation, "A Rui!?"
Ding ding, I seem to hear a mechanical sound in my mind...
"Binding with the host... The binding is successful... Detecting the condition of the host..."
What... Gu Jun's consciousness is a little fuzzy, but he can clearly "see" a system interface in his mind.
"The host physical examination report is out, please check."
