Chapter 28 "Why Me" Part [-]

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

"Someone is looking for a deserted subway station.
There is someone walking on the sidewalk in destiny

Someone is cooking in the middle of the kitchen

There were people arguing and fighting on the edge of the bedroom.

How is it different when you look at others than when you look at yourself?

Does it hurt sometimes?
Maybe these people have different processes and the same goals

Maybe we are among them. . . . "

Mo Wenwei's World Harmony on the phone echoed in my mind through the headphones. I took a deep breath and threw away the cigarette butt.

Then he slowly took off his headphones. He couldn't be late for work.

His eyes were trained on the iris punch machine.

"Beep~ Employee No. 250 Liu Wei clocked in at 8:57 a.m."

There are still 3 minutes left, almost late.

I'm a scientist.

No, I'm a scientist's assistant.

Yes, I am Liu Wei.

An assistant who serves tea and water all day long in the laboratory.

I studied human fertility in college.

Because humans are no longer able to reproduce normally.

Humanity has made a mistake since the beginning of caesarean section.

Women are increasingly relying on caesarean section rather than natural childbirth.

The first degeneration of human beings began, resulting in the inability of human beings to give birth normally.

100 years ago.

Women are beginning to get tired of the pain of being pregnant for ten months.

A nursery company with in vitro fertilization as a gimmick appeared.

Low-priced breeding warehouse, plus in vitro fertilization technology.

It frees women from the worries of being pregnant for ten months.

Women only need to extract sperm and eggs from their partner, put them into a breeding chamber after conception, and come back every day to see the child.

A healthy baby can be born in ten months.

In just three years, the founder became the richest man in the world.

He also became the biggest sinner in human history.

Resulting in a second degeneration of women, this time infertile.

Because of the complete degradation of female DNA, the male-to-female ratio was once as low as nine to one.

The ratio of men to women began to become imbalanced.

In the past 30 years, even human female eggs have begun to degenerate.

Twenty years ago, the government began announcing the death of the last woman on Earth.

The population of eight continents began to gradually decrease.

The proportion of newborns being born is also getting lower and lower.

The most dangerous thing is that the number of frozen eggs is getting smaller and smaller.

It became a government secret for a time.

The eight continents were reduced to three, known as the new United Nations.

There is only one president left, and each of the three states has a governor.

The population is only 14.

Human fertility science began to emerge five years ago.

It was once called the discipline of hope for mankind.

And I am among the first batch of graduates in this discipline.

So I got a secret government job.

But the secret was different than I imagined.

I don’t study eggs, or even fertility.

My daily job is to play with my mobile phone and serve tea and water when I receive calls.

Because my professor told me that humans no longer have eggs.

We may well be the last humans on Earth.

I also stupidly retorted to the professor about the cloning technology mentioned in the textbook.

But the science is that the first step in cloning is the mother.

The last woman on earth died 20 years ago.

Our science has failed before we even study it.

"Humanity is doomed." This was my professor's mantra.

Of course, many people are talking about doomsday theories.

Some scientists have proposed interbreeding chimpanzees with humans.

Anyway, all kinds of nonsense are everywhere.

After being brainwashed by my professor, I planned to just wait for the end of the world.

Of course I also hope that I live long enough to be the last person on earth to die.

This is probably my goal.

You also want to ask why so negative?Because the entire theory of human reproduction is bullshit.

The root of everything is the matrix, but we cannot find the matrix at all.

Jingle bell~
Jingle bell~
I answered the phone and said, "Hey, this is the Human Fertility Research Base. If you have any questions, we will answer you within 24 hours."

"Xiaowei, stop talking nonsense. Come to Area C in State A. The coordinates will be sent to you immediately."

"Professor? What's wrong? Do you want more sugar in the coffee?" I was stunned. This professor with a monthly salary of 10,000+ always calls and asks me to bring him coffee. "Don't give me nonsense, I want you. Come here quickly, I'll give you half an hour."

"Okay, Professor," I said and hung up.

I immediately put on my windbreaker and rushed out of the institute.

Nuclear motorcycles, this is one of the reasons why I like to do things for the country.

Air propeller, 25 kilometers per second.

Not hours, but seconds.

Automatic assisted driving system, automatic avoidance system.

It only takes 13 minutes to cross the entire Pacific Ocean.

Put on a reflective energy windbreaker and ride a nuclear-powered motorcycle.

spray~
Shoot straight into the air.

Driving at a speed that is invisible to the naked eye.

Completely based on computer calculations.

Once the coordinates are set, it is basically impossible for an accident to happen.

Because there are too few people on the road, and the so-called Area A is the United States, which was known as the world's power a hundred years ago.

There was a lot of dust.

The motorcycle landed smoothly on the ground.

The place given by the coordinates is a building.

I took off my robe and hung it on the motorcycle, then slowly walked into the building.

"Professor?" I shouted.

"Professor?" I called again.

. . .There was basically no light around.

Damn it, I turned on the light on my phone.

"Professor, are you there?" I glanced at the GPS and it showed that the professor was near me.

I called the professor's number.

After the ringing, the phone was picked up.

"Professor, where are you?" I said.

"I'm below you, on the 10th floor underground. This place was abandoned a long time ago. Before it was abandoned, it was a laboratory for freezing human bodies."

"Frozen human body." I sighed.

"Okay, come down quickly. I forgot to tell you to wear more clothes. It's probably only minus ten degrees down there. If there's no electricity, come down the corridor. I've already opened the door."

Beep~The phone has been hung up.

Frozen human body?

Scientists often talk about cryonics, the idea of ​​freezing a human body and then waking it up at some point in the future.

Cryonics can be considered a variation of funeral rites.In the United States, wealthy people can choose to be buried in the ground or frozen until humans invent the technology to regenerate.

But 100 years ago, this technology was considered pseudoscience.

The purpose is to defraud wealthy people of their money. The frozen cells will lose their elasticity.

It is possible to reply to a small number.

But every organ in the human body is different, and recovery of all of them is simply impossible.

Of course, no matter how much we recover, it is impossible to return to its original state. If it could, human beings would have immortality long ago.

Why bother thinking about a fertility issue?

Wait, is it for the frozen eggs in the human body?

I immediately ran out and got the reflective cloak on the motorcycle, hoping it would work.

I walked into the building by the light of my mobile phone and walked downstairs.

It does get colder as we go down, and when I reached the minus tenth floor, I was trembling all over.

It seems that the building has been cut off for a long time, but the underground temperature here is still guaranteed to be below zero all year round.

I pushed open the last door.

There were more than a dozen people inside, and the lights were bright.

More than a dozen people were surrounding a bunch of sealed cabins.

The professor walked over slowly, waved and said, "Who wants to change clothes with him?"

Immediately, a man in a jacket took off his clothes and said, "Here you go."

I exchanged my cloak with the man, and then the man ran up tremblingly.

I immediately put on my jacket.

The professor said again: "Xiaowei, I remember correctly that you studied human fertility in college, right?"

I nodded my head.

"Have you taken the course on egg retrieval?" the professor said.

I nodded my head again.

"Come here, there are two female corpses here. They must have been frozen for more than 200 years. Cut them open and take out the eggs inside." The professor said.

"Why me?" I said.

"Because among all the people here, I have checked their information. Only your simulation score is A." The professor said.

"But I have never seen what a woman looks like underneath. Previous surgeries were all simulated on the computer." I said tremblingly.

Women have been extinct for 20 years. I really don’t know what the situation is.

"Have you ever thought about becoming a hero who extends human life? Do you still remember why you applied for fertility studies in the first place?" the professor said.

"Because reading it out guarantees the assignment of government jobs." I said blankly.

"You...I don't care what your attitude is. You are the only one with the highest simulation score here. Either complete this operation or spend your next life in prison." The professor handed over a scalpel.

"Can you let me smoke a cigarette before answering?" I said helplessly.

The professor waved his hand and said, "I'll give you just one cigarette."
