Chapter 11 The Pain of Breathing (11)

The dark brown and black soil is surrounded by a little pale color, lying quietly on the surface. The slightly rounded top is so tender and shiny under the background of the fill light.

The darkness in Cheng Die's eyes was instantly dispelled by the bright light.

She clutched the edge of the incubator tightly, and it took her a while to find her voice.

"Successful."

Yu Di quickly copied down the medium ratio and the temperature and humidity meter data for the first germination, and stuffed them into Cheng Die's hands.

Cheng Die ran his index finger across the paper, matching the data one by one with the remaining parts in his memory, and said with excitement: "Same, same as last time."

Yu Di breathed a sigh of relief. No one disturbed her, so the mission should be completed, right? She poked at the system in her mind, but there was no response. In order to improve efficiency, Cheng Die asked Yu Di to mix various nutrients according to the ratio.

Moved up from the third floor and prepared for transplanting.

Yan Lin's mask was attached to the incubator, and his eyes lingered on the bud for a long time. He suddenly felt that he seemed a little narrow-minded.

He has always believed that the environment cannot always be suitable for human survival, and "deterioration" is inevitable. Just like ancestral creatures have evolved time and time again to survive until now, if current humans want to exist for tens of millions of years, they must metamorphose and evolve.

.

But he made the same mistake that all humans make. He was arrogant, conceited, and thought that humans were the purpose of the environment.

What if not?

What if this "ecological disaster" is the meteorite rain caused by human hands, and this period is the Cretaceous period of mankind?

The person who originally synthesized the nucleotide-targeting transporter claimed that he dreamed up the enzyme structure. His partners were silent about their initial synthesis process, and no article reported in detail what they went through in inventing it.

It is like a technology that suddenly popped up in human history and has taken human life astray ever since.

Yan Lin deeply suspected at this time that this dream might be a harbinger of human extinction. After all, if this invention had not been born, there would not be that anti-human undersea laboratory. Human beings may have to spend a lot of effort to obtain it from the environment.

Food, water, energy, but after all, there is no need to wear protective clothing until death.

He looked at the new shoots, and an idea came to his mind - what if this time, the natural selection is no longer human?

With a "snap", Yan Lin received a slap on the back of his head.

"what!"

"What are you so stupid about? Work!" Yu Di handed Yan Lin a shovel angrily.

After being beaten, Yan Lin's mind became clearer. Regardless of whether nature chose to abandon human beings, the principle of survival of the fittest has not changed. He understands human beings too well. Looking at the existing history, human beings are fragile but can adapt.

Their abilities are also extremely powerful. As long as they live long enough, people can always adapt to the environment.

"How to do it?" Yan Lin followed Yu Di's example and pulled a cart.

Yu Di was happy to let others do the work. He calculated the dosage of various nutrients and wrote a list to Yan Lin. Each person carried half of everything he needed back to the second floor.

Cheng Die had already emptied several incubators and directed the two of them to pour nutrients into the incubators and mix them according to the proportions. Cheng Die recorded the growth of the dug tubers to compare their needs for various nutrients.

Unlike Yu Di, who only listens to instructions and doesn't interrupt when it comes to questions that are not his own expertise, Yan Lin is very studious and has a lot of weird questions in his mind, and he will throw one to Cheng Die at a time.

It has been a long time since Cheng Die had such a congenial and intelligent audience in the professional field. He answered in detail, and the two chattered endlessly. Yu Di seemed to be bathed in the hypnotic halo of the biology lecture, yawning one after another.

Until Mi Bao came out and bumped into Yan Lin, knocking him over and barking at him.

"Mi Bao!" Cheng Die stood up suddenly and felt dizzy. His vision went dark and he almost fell to the ground.

"Honey, are you okay?!" Lanlong rushed over in time and held Cheng Die firmly in his arms.

"Are you tired? Why don't you go and have a rest." Lan Long held Cheng Die in his arms worriedly and said.

Cheng Die turned around and hugged him, rubbed his chest comfortably, but refused: "I haven't finished it yet. I will go to bed after I finish burying this batch."

"Speaking of this -" Yan Lin suddenly interrupted, "Where should I sleep?"

He didn't see the "guest room" when he went down to the fourth floor just now.

Lan Long cleared his throat and said: "We originally reserved a place for two people, and Yu Di slept on the camp bed. Fortunately, we have a spare one. Why don't you make do with it and sleep at the elevator entrance?

, there’s room for a bed there.”

"...Okay." It's good to have some sleep. They didn't let him sleep outside in protective clothing. These people are kind-hearted. He can't order food as a beggar, right?

After Blue Dragon regained his mobility, the speed of their work was obviously accelerated. Thanks to his tidy personality, each incubator was wiped clean and arranged neatly, and even the floor was swept spotlessly.

Yu Di stretched a lot, yawned and walked downstairs.

The protective suit made her almost go rancid. She had to quickly experience what the purified air was like, and see if the water stored in the past few days could be used for a bath.

"Um, do you have a first aid kit or medical kit or something like that?" Yan Lin came over and asked her.

"...It seems not. Why...ah! Your knees!"

She suddenly remembered that Yan Lin still had wounds on his body. The guy had been so lively before, and Yu Di had completely forgotten about it.

"There seems to be some non-woven fabrics, let me look for them for you." Yu Di ignored the couple who were enjoying their future life on the ground together, and took Yan Lin to the storage room on the third floor.

She rummaged for a long time and finally found an unopened roll of gauze in the area where flammable materials were piled up and handed it to Yan Lin. Yan Lin took off his protective clothing and sat on the ground, leaving only the mask. Dirty skin was exposed bit by bit.

, the pain made Yan Lin inhale.

"Why did you endure it for so long?" Yu Di asked, leaning against the door of the storage room with his back to Yan Lin.

"Ha." Yan Lin laughed when he heard this, "What is this?"

Yu Di waited for a long time without hearing what was said, and knew that Yan Lin was not willing to share this part of the past. She went to get a small bowl of pure water and put it next to Yan Lin.

"Thank you." Yan Lin nodded towards Yu Di.

Before, he was covered by protective clothing, so he couldn't see clearly. After taking off his helmet, Yu Di could see Yan Lin's face clearly.

"You and your brother look alike."

"After all, they have the same biological father and inherited the same genes."

"Why didn't you enter the city in the same group as him? Researchers all get preferential treatment."

Yan Lin carefully scrubbed his wounds and replied with a smile: "Our biological father is still alive. According to the regulations, we have to live with him before getting married, but I don't really want to see them."

He shrugged helplessly: "I thought I could allocate it to other cities until the end."

Yu Di asked curiously: "Don't you researchers have a special residence?"

"That's for lonely people whose parents are gone."

Yu Di blinked, a little confused. Last time, Yan Yu had his own place to live, so why did Yan Lin say something different?

However, after all, Yan Lin did not have the same memory as Cheng Die, and Yu Di was not easy to ask, so he only temporarily stored the questions in the "to-be-solved area" in his mind.

After Yan Lin finished treating the wound, Yu Di helped him slowly return to the fourth floor and lie down. Although the spring bed was not very comfortable, Yan Lin slept soundly, almost "living on the pillow".

After finishing everything, the other three people also returned to their beds to rest. The noise of the biological motor was so soft that they could even hear each other's breathing clearly.

The afterglow of the light bulb was like the moon lightly obscured by dark clouds, emitting dim light. The small shelter became peaceful, and Mibao lay in his nest, humming softly to sleep.

The factory that they had "robbed" during the day was now brightly lit.

The thugs were busy loading all weapons and equipment into the car, and then formed a convoy and drove towards the city along the only road in the direction where Yu Di and the four left.

I revised it a bit. I fell asleep as I wrote yesterday. I’m going to take the driving test today! I hope I got full marks. The update will probably be a little later.
