Chapter 20, Expose

In today's era, artificial organs are very mature, and even the top organs manufactured by some big companies are better than the original normal organs of the human body. Replacing a kidney will not affect health.

But why take my kidney like this?
If I want my kidney, I must install it for someone, but in this case, just install an electronic kidney for him, wouldn’t it be enough?In this way, I don't have to give me a sum of money, and I don't have to worry about not being able to match.

"Isn't this superfluous?"

"You don't need to worry about this, as long as you agree to be a volunteer, we will perform surgery on you, and then just wait for the money to be collected."

Looking at the handsome temperament of the person in front of me, I suddenly thought of some rumors I heard when I was still in the company. I heard that some people whose cell life span has reached the limit can gradually replace their body organs to prolong their life span.

"It's those rich people who want to keep their bodies and want to be healthy and young forever, right?"

"Don't talk nonsense, sir." The woman's gentle smile suddenly turned cold, "Do you really need this volunteer work?"

"I..." I thought for a long time, and finally closed my eyes, "I need it."

After signing a very complicated electronic contract, I was taken by her to a hospital in the suburbs on Victoria Street.

"Don't be afraid, with the current medical technology, this kind of minor operation can be done in a few minutes, and you can go as you go..." The doctor in a white coat comforted me.

But my mood didn't change at all, and at the same time, I didn't have the slightest affection for this kind man in holy clothes.

I took off all my clothes and lay down on the operating table. It didn't take long before I felt a cold in my waist.

Out of the corner of his eye, he could see the doctor holding a red thing, nodded and commented, "Although you are not young, but your body is well maintained, and the pair of kidneys are still healthy. According to the agreement, you can Get 20."

I never drink or smoke, and I usually take good care of my body, and I have received a lot of compliments, saying that I know how to take care of myself like people in the upper class, and I am quite proud of myself.But now... in the face of that sincere praise, there is nothing but sadness in my heart.

Just like a pig, no matter how much you praise it for its good meat, it will not be happy, because you will eat it, and now I am like a selected pig.

Just when I was secretly sad, the woman I met before opened the suitcase she had taken out from nowhere, revealing a bright silver artificial kidney in the shape of an apple composed of two crescents.

The doctor took the artificial kidney and nodded to me, "Now it's time to put it back on for you..." As he spoke, he stuffed the apple kidney into my body with the help of the mechanical arm of the surgical auxiliary table.

...

three days later.

On the western outskirts of Brahma City, a remote factory area criss-crossed by countless thick pipes that looked like giant pythons, I was patrolling boringly wearing a yellow hard hat and blue overalls.

This is Brahma's "Water of Life" factory. Countless water of life flows through those pipes to every household in Brahma City, just like the city's blood vessels.

My task is to check whether there are potential safety hazards in the pipelines in the factory area, and close the corresponding pipeline valves after receiving the alarm notification.

The work is very simple, and the salary is naturally not much, 4000 a month, including meals.

This is the best job I've ever picked out of those crappy ones.

It’s really hard to find jobs now, most of the jobs are replaced by robots. The jobs that natural people can find are either those jobs that require creativity like what I did before, or the simplest jobs that are more cost-effective to use artificial labor. , Selling robots will lose money instead.

The former now only needs high-tech bosses and prime-age cattle, so I can only find jobs in the latter category.

"If Annie knew that I came to do this after I go out every day, would she definitely leave me?" I couldn't help thinking while clutching my waist.

But there is no way around it. Selling kidneys was a one-shot deal before. I can’t stop doing it after I get the money. Here, I still pay 4000 a month, and with the 24 deposit, I can survive for at least a few years.

"I hope that I can slowly reduce expenses in the past few years, and at the same time slowly do a good job in Anne's heart, so that my life can get back on track."

"hiss…"

There was another throbbing pain in the waist. Since the kidney transplant, the pain has always been there. The woman who asked only said that it was a wound healing, so don't worry.

But why is the pain getting worse here, and I want to ask that guy again but he was blacklisted, damn it.

...

...

I fainted...

I fainted while I was working, and the boss robot found out that there was a fault in the area I was dealing with, which was not dealt with for a long time, and only then did I discover my situation.

I was in the hospital when I woke up.

"Doctor, doctor, what's wrong with me?"

The doctor's expression was very serious, "Do you know the condition of your body?"

"My body has always been good, but... I just had an electronic kidney replaced some time ago."

"Are you sure it was just changed some time ago?"

"Yeah... Doctor... Is there something wrong with my kidney?"

"After our inspection, the performance of your kidney is very bad. It is a mine kidney that has been destroyed by extreme use."

"Mine Kidney!" I felt a bolt from the blue, and I wanted to struggle to get up and settle accounts with those two guys who harmed me, but I couldn't even move.

"Doctor, what should I do now?"

"Your kidneys are about to fail and must be replaced as soon as possible."

"A kidney transplant? How much would it cost..."

"According to the current market price, an electronic kidney is about 20...50."

"Ha ha ha ha…"

I laughed out of nowhere, the doctor gave me a pitiful look, turned and left without saying anything.

As time passed, I stared blankly at the pale lights on the ceiling, as if I were dead. In fact, I was no different from dead.

With a click, the door of the ward opened.

It's Annie.

Because of the security system, my family members were automatically notified after I passed out, and she naturally knew all about my situation, unemployment and kidney deficiency.

Annie didn't speak after she came in, she just looked at me, I could feel the shock, bewilderment, distress, pity... and a trace of indifference in her eyes.

"What's going on? Why are you keeping it from me?" It was hard to speak, but he shook his head after speaking, "Forget it, I will apply for legal assistance in a few days, you should be ready."

She turned and left without any nostalgia, and she didn't seem to remember anything until she went out. She put her slender hand on her stomach and left a sentence, "Both my child and I still need money."

I was in the abyss and then I was stepped on again. The family I tried my best to keep left me, and they wanted to take away my last chance to survive.

She wants the 24 deposit.

I put my hand on my chest and held the 3 yuan commemorative coin that was said to bring me good luck, "Wish me good luck."

Then I reached out to unplug the body cycler that kept me alive...
