Zhang Xiaoqiang was not the only one who suffered from the sudden earthquake in Nippon. All the survivors in Nippon suffered from the sudden catastrophe. The real situation in Nippon was just like the low-budget disaster film "Nippon Sinks" made by Nippon a long time ago. In the violent earthquake, Nippon's proudest forest was like a wheat field swept by a storm. Countless giant trees shook and broke on the bumpy land. Many mountains began to deform and collapse, and patches of red land like the surface of Mars replaced the forest. Mount Fuji, the spiritual mountain of Nippon, also came to an end in the face of the disaster. The mountain, which was more than 3,700 meters high, was covered with white snow, like a white-headed giant standing between heaven and earth. This "sacred mountain" of Nippon Sinks was like a broken earthen jar, missing a big piece, as if something had bitten it. The disaster of the collapse of Mount Fuji was not over. The layers of tearing pulled this dormant volcano awake from its dormancy in the shaking. Under the pressure of the subterranean plates, the huge pressure could not wait to find a breakthrough, and finally ignited the flame of Mount Fuji …
Streams of magma rushed out of the snow-covered mountain pass like a rolling fire dragon. The broken Mount Fuji was like a bucket with its bottom exposed, pouring out the magma that had been accumulated for countless years. The rolling magma ignited everything along the way. Above the raging fire was thick black smoke. This black smoke, together with misty volcanic ash, covered most of Nippon. The helicopters hovering in the air had to struggle to find a clean sky.
More than a dozen Osprey helicopters and a large number of other helicopters were like lost sparrows, flying carefully in the smoke and dust. Drones surrounded all the helicopters like butterflies. All the helicopters were on guard as if they were facing a formidable enemy, carefully exploring outward. Among this group of helicopters, the most eye-catching was the Osprey helicopter in the center … Dr. Flender was not as old as ordinary people thought.
He was in his thirties, the age when he was full of energy. His pair of wise eyes seemed to be able to see through all the obstacles in the world. His handsome and mature appearance made him look like a gentleman. Even strangers who had nothing to do with him would have a certain degree of affection and trust when they saw him. He was a naturally likeable guy. It could be said that anyone who knew him could easily be subdued by the temperament he exuded. Like a born leader, they were always unconsciously influenced by him. Strangely, the only exception was the old Elson sitting opposite him.
Elson was indifferent to the big earthquake outside. He squinted his eyes and looked at the handsome man in front of him, who looked like Pierce Brosnan from 007. His chest rose and fell rhythmically as he greedily inhaled the oxygen in the respirator. Neither of them spoke. Flender crossed his legs and crossed his hands on his lower abdomen, looking indifferent. Elson, on the other hand, was like a bomb that was about to be detonated. Only the sound of his rapid breathing could be heard.
There was no one else around the two of them. Time seemed to freeze at this moment. There were only two statue-like men looking at each other. If a fujoshi before the doomsday saw this, they might think that the two of them were gay. After a long while, Flender broke the silence. He raised his hand to his forehead helplessly and pinched his temples. At the moment when he lowered his head, words with a rhythm that seemed to be hypnotic came out of his mouth.
"Help me make a decision. It's no longer suitable for us to stay in Japan anymore. We have to make a decision as soon as possible. I'm not good at making decisions. As the deputy minister of the expedition group, you should shoulder your responsibilities …"
Elson did not lose control and scolded the leader who had taken away his life. He just looked at the man in silence, as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes. Then his breathing rhythm became a little faster, as if his chest would explode if he breathed a little faster. Flender smiled bitterly at Elson's unwillingness to cooperate. He continued in his most sincere tone, "Elson, you were only 14 years old when you joined us. I have always regarded you as my own child. You know, my son is only two years younger than you …"
Elson could not bear to listen to these words. As soon as he heard this, his eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light. Boundless resentment suddenly spread around him. After a long while, he said hoarsely, "I'm only 16 years old this year, but don't I look like I'm 96 years old?
Eighty years are gone. My adolescence, my first love, and my coming-of-age night are all gone. Just because I believe in you, I regard you as my elder, and even worship you like a father in my heart … "Elson's words suddenly made Flender sad.
What Elson said immediately made Flender sad. Flender's electric eyes stared into Elson's sharp eyes and said with self-blame, "Elson, it's all my fault. I didn't think that the psychic magnetic shock would cause you and your sister to have a spiritual circuit, and I didn't think that there would be a mistake in the reverse flow of life force between the two of you. I really didn't want to see you so young, so strong, so full of vitality …"
When the seemingly penitent Flender said these words, a special fluctuation suddenly flashed in his eyes. The fluctuation quickly disappeared, but Elson's eyes were good at capturing details, and he still saw the little change. In his heart, he could not help but hate the man in front of him, who had been respected as a mentor, even more.
He knew in his heart that Flender's real age was not 30 years old, but 48 years old. At the time of the apocalypse, this person was just an unknown ordinary scientist. But after he participated in Flender's experiment, Flender began to live younger and younger, and his life force became more and more vigorous. He would not believe that there was no such thing as a ghost.
"You can rest assured that I will do everything to treat you. The loss of life force is not irreversible. We have an idea to use your cells to clone some replicas, and use reverse experiments to recover everything you have lost. Believe me, we will create a miracle, a miracle that can make human beings immortal …" Flender's tone was quite sincere.
Flender's tone was quite sincere, and his naturally magnetic and hypnotic voice seemed to carry invisible waves, making people who heard it unconsciously believe his words. But Elson, who had been fooled long ago, only sneered in his heart. He did not believe Flender's promise at all. In his mind, Flender and the top management of the CDC were a group of selfish villains, all old and cunning politicians. They would always give you hope, but they would not let you realize your hope. They were like carrots hanging in front of a donkey, you could see it, but you could not eat it.
"What are you going to do with Susanna?"
Elson did not want to say anything more about his lifespan. He also guessed what Flender was doing in secret. Maybe his experiment was not a mistake. Maybe his aging was in Flender's plan.
"This time the loss is too great. I'm sorry. Susanna must be imprisoned until others forget about this. It will take time, maybe a year, maybe three or five years. Who knows?"
Flender shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly, but his wise eyes did not miss any detail of Elson. There was no one else in the cabin, but when he said this, as if he was afraid of being heard, his voice became smaller and smaller. In the end, he almost whispered to Elson, "But you don't have to worry, Susanna's safety will be guaranteed. As long as you can prove your value, I believe the top management will not fall out with you because of Susanna. Of course, you have to keep it secret. The key is value. The more value you have, the safer Susanna will be …"
"Susanna is your henchman. If you are not worried, why should I be worried?"
This thought repeatedly hovered in Elson's mind, but he never said it out loud. His blade-like eyes surged with a violent flame, and the sound of his breathing became rapid. After a long time, Elson's stiff body slowly leaned back, as if feeling tired. He closed his eyes and said, "She is my only sister. I may die at any time. Before I die, she must stay by my side. You want to prove my value?
No problem, but her safety and freedom must be guaranteed. Susan is not the only one who made the mistake. If you did not give her the power to make a decision on the spot and make me a mere figurehead, we would not have lost anything this time … "
Elson's words were equivalent to a slap in the face. Even the calm and elegant Flender's face flashed a little awkwardness. He raised his fist to the corner of his mouth and coughed, then nodded and said, "Although it is difficult, I will try my best. What should we do next?
Return to the United States? "
