HCB Chapter 277 Returning Alive
Chapter 277 Returning Alive
Song Nanxi turned around and followed Qin Zhou's gaze.
With a slight smile, she said, "Many people don't have the same sense of national belonging and pride as most Chinese people. They'll do anything for money."
"Besides, they were just helping me with the preliminary preparations. The higher-ups have already assigned me professionals, and I have other uses for these people."
Qin Zhou raised an eyebrow, feeling that Song Nanxi's smile was rather frightening.
I couldn't help but ask, "What...mischief are you up to?"
"hiss!"
Song Nanxi leaned back, "What do you mean I'm having bad intentions, comrade? Please correct your attitude!"
She just wanted to study 'alien artifacts,' what's wrong with that?
However, Qin Zhou was really overthinking it. These extreme geniuses that Yu Jing had poached from the dark web for Song Nanxi had absolutely no interest in researching medical treatments and saving lives! They were all attracted by what Yu Jing said about researching 'aliens'.
I can't wait to dissect that so-called 'alien' and see what its structure is!
The person sent from above arrived quickly; he was an elderly man with gray hair, accompanied by several students.
Song Nanxi looked at him and suddenly asked, "Um... sir, how are you feeling?"
"Hmm? Your annual checkups have been pretty good. Why don't you take my pulse?" the old man said with a smile.
"Hmm! As long as you're healthy!"
At first, he didn't know why, but soon they realized that Song Nanxi was really good at enduring hardship!
For researchers like them, spending all their time in the lab—eating, drinking, relieving themselves, and sleeping—is already commonplace.
But when they really can't hold on any longer, they do sleep! Unlike Song Nanxi, who can stay awake all the time! She treats these precious national treasures like cattle and horses!
but--
Faced with Song Nanxi's rapid progress and the successful extraction of drug molecules, they were truly impressed!
This is a miracle drug for cancer!!
If this were to actually be published, their contributions as assistants would be recorded in epic history!
So... even though their legs were shaking and their eyes were glazed over from exhaustion, no one complained and they all buried themselves in their work.
Song Nanxi had said before that she had made special medicines before, and this time she spent most of her time on medicines that were different from those in other worlds.
All the medicines she used were extracted from traditional Chinese medicine.
While it can't be said to be completely free of side effects, it's definitely much less so than Western medicine!
Song Nanxi saw that they were almost fainting from exhaustion, especially the old man, who could endure more than the young people. Song Nanxi was afraid that he would die if he closed his eyes.
It's strangely difficult, and also strangely frightening.
"Leave the rest to me, you guys go and get some rest."
"No need! I can still hold on!"
Song Nanxi gestured outside and waved her hand, "Take him away! You guys are so tough, I'm afraid your hands will shake and you'll mess up the data!"
The guards who had been waiting outside immediately sprang into action.
Qin Zhou also volunteered to come and help.
At that moment, he stood outside, separated by an extremely thick bulletproof glass, quietly watching the busy figures.
She was completely wrapped in a white lab coat, and a mask covered half of her delicate face. The laboratory gradually emptied, and only her figure remained standing.
When she gets serious, she loses her arrogant and unruly demeanor, and her temperament becomes completely settled, calm and firm.
……
Click.
The door was opened.
Everyone jumped and looked toward the door.
Song Nanxi took off her mask and said to Qin Zhou, "The experiment was a success. Notify the higher-ups and arrange for someone to conduct the experiment."
Qin Zhou nodded, "Okay, I understand—" After a hesitation, "Experiment directly on people?"
“This is the fastest way to achieve the desired effect. You might think I’m cruel, but—” Song Nanxi smiled, her eyes, which had been burning with excitement for so long, still shone brightly. “I have confidence in my medicine.”
"Besides, whether you die sooner or later, what difference does it make?"
Let's take a gamble; what Song Nanxi gives them will be a new life.
Thus, a secret experiment began.
This will be a long-term battle, with results seen in a week, followed by the complete eradication of cancer cells over three months to a year.
Upon learning this, Mr. Xiao immediately signed up to participate in the experiment.
Knowing his children and grandchildren would object, he spoke with unusual determination, getting ahead of them.
"I know what you're going to say, no need to persuade me anymore, my mind is made up."
“Since it’s all about conducting experiments, there shouldn’t be any distinction between different levels. Those who are wealthy want to wait until the drug is improved to its best quality before they can start treatment. Most of the participants in the experiments are people from grassroots areas who can’t afford the subsequent treatment costs.”
“That’s not right. In the early stages of my illness, I received the best medical resources in the country and suffered far less than they did.”
"Now, the country needs me, and it's time for me to give back!"
The children and grandchildren lowered their heads in shame, admitting that they were rather selfish and lacked the awareness of Old Master Xiao.
They just didn't want to lose this optimistic and enlightened elder so soon.
Mr. Xiao ultimately participated.
After the Lantern Festival, Song Nanxi will return to the film set to film.
She didn't ask Ling Sheng to get her any new work this year, and she will be out of the public eye for a while after filming "Wish for the Vast Sea" is finished.
Song Nanxi didn't care about fading into obscurity; she had already enjoyed such empty fame in her previous mission worlds.
However, before that, she had to see Qi Yu off.
Few people knew which unit Qi Yu was going to; apart from Qi Zheng, only a small number of people knew the details.
Even Qi Yu's mother didn't know.
Otherwise, if she had known that Qi Yu was going to that mysterious XX unit, and that going there was tantamount to signing a life-or-death waiver, she would definitely have stopped Qi Yu.
The hotel mattress shook violently like waves.
Qi Yu suddenly grabbed Song Nanxi's waist, his hands gripping her so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands bulged, and his forehead pressed firmly against Song Nanxi's neck.
A single hot tear landed on Song Nanxi's sensitive skin, causing her to tilt her head back slightly.
"Why are you crying?"
Song Nanxi's hoarse voice was filled with a satisfied contentment, and beneath her fingers were the young man's taut muscles.
It's very hard.
Qi Yu breathed heavily and hoarsely. Under Song Nanxi's comforting touch, he relaxed and leaned against her, giving up the struggle...
After the intense trembling, he held Song Nanxi tightly, savoring the last moments of tenderness.
I wish I could pack her up and take her with me.
"I can't bear to part with you..."
"Nanxi..."
Will you remember me?
"If... I really can't come back..."
"Snapped!"
Song Nanxi slapped him across the face.
A handprint slowly appeared on the young man's pale cheek.
After Song Nanxi finished speaking, she stared at Qi Yu silently for ten seconds without blinking.
Then, he casually uttered, "Reorganize the language."
Qi Yuxin trembled; the spot on his face where he had been hit was burning hot and stinging with pain. The clear sensation entered his heart, making his heart burn as well.
An uncontrollable surge of emotion spread to every part of his body.
Nanxi cares about him because she hopes he can come back alive.
How can this not be considered love?
He knelt down, like a loyal dog, burying his face in her waist, and whispered, "I misspoke. I will come back, even if it's in hell, I will crawl back..."
He held Song Nanxi's fingers and slowly squeezed his own fingers between hers.
"So, Nanxi, let's do it again. You can hit me a few more times."
"I like Nanxi..."
