Chapter 647: Life Was Not A Math Problem
Everyone in the team was careful to avoid any mishaps.
The moment they heard Zheng Ren’s roar to stop, they stood on the spot and observed the situation.
There was no need to explain. In the next second, almost everyone understood what had happened.
The rain fell, turning from water into ice.
The originally slippery road had hail falling in between, a mixture of water and ice. The originally difficult road was now hell to walk on.
“Stand by and wait for orders!” Zhao Yunlong realized the danger and roared.
During that time, the people lined up in a long line. They could not even communicate and could only talk to the people in front and behind them.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Zhao Yunlong made a judgment of the situation in front of him and felt very helpless.
He could only order everyone to stop and rest where they were.
During such a time, it was not possible to use brute force to resist.
The mountain path was filled with rain and ice. It had no holding strength at all. If Zheng Ren had not reminded them in time and took one more step, those who did not notice it would have stumbled and fallen into the bottomless abyss. Even if the people around him caught him, more of them would be pulled down.
Then they would just have to do what they could with the rest of them.
But the rest... Well, things were easier said than done.
In such weather and in such a place with his back against the cliff, he could not even stretch his legs straight. In addition, his entire body was wet and cold, the rain still falling as the temperature dropped by more than ten degrees. Zhao Yunlong could not even guarantee that no one would freeze to death.
Damn it! After Zhao Yunlong gave the order, he cursed in his heart.
He did not know how difficult the journey was but still did not feel despair. Forward, forward, forward. That was the only thought in his mind.
After that, he was trapped on the cliff, waiting for orders on the spot. A wave of despair rose in his heart.
Everyone carefully leaned against the people nearby to keep each other warm.
Su Yun took out a pack of compressed military rations and asked, “Do you want to eat?”
“I’m not hungry.” Zheng Ren had never been interested in eating. Within that moment, his muscles were sore and his hormone levels were extremely high. He did not want to eat.
“Usually, you’re not interested in eating and think that you’re a monster. Now, I really envy you.” Su Yun said, “This thing is terrible to eat but is filling. After eating this box, I guarantee you I won’t feel hungry tomorrow.”
Zheng Ren nodded and closed his eyes as if he was ready to sleep.
“Hey, why are you so boring?” Su Yun said as he ate the compressed military rations in big mouthfuls and swallowed it down with purified water.
The military rations in modern times were already very delicious. The compressed biscuits in the past could not be compared.
However, after eating tons of delicacies, the military rations felt just like chewing wax.
“Let’s rest for a while. When the road is better, we still have to move forward,” Zheng Ren said lightly.
The members of the team and the people around them were talking to each other. They did not dare to speak too loudly for fear of alerting the ferocious beast that was gradually calming down underground.
Along the way, they had exhausted a lot of their physical strength.
They did not feel anything as they moved forward carefully. Once they were done, all sorts of negative effects would envelop everyone.
They snuggled up to each other and used each other’s body temperature to keep warm.
Exhaustion surged up like a tide. In just ten minutes, the group gradually quieted down.
Zheng Ren closed his eyes to rest. He was thinking about what would happen if he could advance tomorrow and enter the place.
As a doctor, he would definitely consider first aid.
However, what he had on hand...was really not enough to do anything.
He went to the System space and opened the System shop. Zheng Ren cursed. There was only one surgical tray sold in the System’s shop! After he bought it, there was no more...
How could that be?
Seriously...
After praising the System, all it gave him was a disappointment.
Zheng Ren wanted to take out the System’s items at all costs but was extremely disappointed.
Beside the pond, the snow-white little fox seemed to be looking at Zheng Ren with a mocking smile. It was exactly the same as Su Yun.
Zheng Ren had no choice but to rest in the System space for a while.
It was something he could benefit from.
After all, resting here allowed one to recover very quickly.
Zheng Ren stared blankly at the Little White Fox. His mind was in a mess as he thought about many things. Xie Yiren, Old Chief Physician Pan, Department Chief Kong, Professor Rudolf Wagner, the Nobel Prize, the new surgery research center, what kind of situation would they encounter tomorrow...
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his ear.
“Say something. It’s so cold that I can’t sleep,” Su Yun said.
Zheng Ren came out of the System space and smiled. “What are you trying to say? Are you afraid?”
“F*ck you!” Su Yun cursed. Zheng Ren had actually insulted him.
However, his heart was really in a fluster. Su Yun sighed and asked, “Can we head back alive?”
“I don’t know,” Zheng Ren answered calmly.
“Boss, can you say something nice?” Su Yun complained.
“Is it useful to say nice things? If I say nice things now, I will stand at the top and talk for a few days and nights before the earthquake.”
“It’s useless. Take the time to sleep. If you’re feeling energetic, you have a better chance of surviving. I’m just afraid that you will fall asleep while walking. If you slip and I go back to the Imperial Capital myself, who will be my assistant?”
“I’m someone who wants to win the Nobel Prize. I won’t let you steal the spotlight.”
“Then you have to go back alive,” Zheng Ren said.
“Boss, do you want to try a heart transplant when we go back? Let me tell you. Although a heart transplant has been carried out for many years, a heart transplant with autologous stem cells will definitely be a Nobel Prize project if the human experiment is successful.” When Su Yun mentioned the words ‘Nobel Prize’, his eyes finally lit up.
They were as bright as the stars in the sky behind the clouds.
“It’s okay, I don’t care. As long as there is no rejection, a heart transplant is not a big deal.” Zheng Ren’s light-hearted words gave Su Yun a heavy blow.
Autologous stem cells to grow a heart and transplant it was a difficult project in anyone’s eyes.
However, how did it become a transplant for Zheng Ren? It was not a big deal? F*ck, Su Yun was cursing a lot today.
Seeing the mountains and rivers shatter and the landfall to the southwest, it was impossible for him not to be touched.
However, Su Yun thought carefully and Zheng Ren could really do it. After all, the guy was not human at all, Su Yun thought to himself.
“There are plenty of projects and we’re good enough. As long as we return alive, everything will be fine.”
“Boss, you shouldn’t have come.” Su Yun was silent for a long time before he said, “If you stayed in the Imperial Capital, how many people could the new project save versus how many people you’d save by being here instead?”
“Sometimes, life is not a math problem.” Zheng Ren continued, “There are a lot of principles and I don’t understand them either. Philosophy, huh? I went crazy after learning it. When faced with such a situation, you expect me to hide behind to cheer for you guys? I can’t do it.”
Su Yun wiped his face and smiled.
“Also, with your skill level, I wouldn’t be at ease if I didn’t come,” Zheng Ren said.
Damn it!
