Chapter 49

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, Dai Wen and Kosier had been waiting for a while.

Seeing them coming from a distance, Kosier waved happily, and then picked up the backpack beside him: "Dai Wen and I are still worried about you, let's go, ready to go up the mountain. I just measured the altitude and wind speed, Thresholds are all appropriate."

Leo smiled, walked over and picked up his backpack: "Thank you for your hard work."

Edward stretched out his hand beside him: "May I carry a section for you? Are you not feeling well?"

Leo smiled and slapped his hand away: "Think of me as a little girl? I'm not that delicate." As he spoke, he seemed to think of something, and turned to Dai Wen next to him: "Sorry, Dai Wen, there is nothing against you. mean."

Dai Wen pursed her lips and shook her head, glanced at Edward, put on her backpack and followed Kosier up the mountain path.

The biological samples they collected were mainly concentrated near the junction where the glacier extended down from the top of the mountain, but some markings and notes were also needed along the way.It was not the first time for the four of them to go out for an inspection together. They had a tacit understanding in the division of labor and cooperation, and soon started working according to their respective responsibilities after going up the mountain.

Leo was a little behind because he was mainly responsible for taking pictures.When he finished a record, he felt a shadow over his head.

He thought it was Edward, and said without raising his head, "Don't wait for me, I'll catch up in a while."

"I... have something to ask you." It was Dai Wen's voice that sounded.

He raised his head in surprise: "Dai Wen? What's the matter?"

The girl looked at him, then looked up at Edward and Kosier who were not far away, and said softly, "You and Edward...are you...are you...together?"

Leo raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but hear the phrase "She likes you" that Edward said earlier at the foot of the mountain.

"Well, maybe." He replied vaguely, straightened up after speaking, put the notebook in the bag, and pointed to the front: "Let's go, there is still a long way to go to the destination."

Dai Wen bit her lip and followed in silence.

When approaching the top of the mountain, the gravel particles on the winding path became significantly larger, and the color also turned into a dark dark blue.

The wind was very strong. After Leo took the photo, he leaned against a rock and catted. Not far away, Edward and Kosier were installing measuring instruments.

The whole collection process took a certain amount of time, so they simply rested in a shelter from the wind, drinking water and eating to replenish their strength.

After Dai Wen finished eating, she said she wanted to go around the neighborhood, and Kosier went with her, leaving only Leo and Edward.

Leo leaned in the shadow of the rock, his head resting on a hollow, his eyes closed as if asleep.

After a while, Edward tugged at his hand: "Hey, are you going to sleep like this?"

Leo opened his eyes lazily: "What else? What else can we do here?"

Edward raised his eyebrows, and the expression on his face became ambiguous.

Leo sat up straight vigilantly: "Don't even think about it, I was tossed by you all night last night, and my waist is still a little sore now."

Edward laughed: "Don't worry, even if I want to, there are others here, I can't bear to let others see you like that."

Leo seemed to have remembered something, his face turned red, ignored Edward, and then closed his eyes.

Edward moved to his side flatteringly: "Your waist is still uncomfortable? Let me rub it for you."

Leo simply changed his posture, leaned his head on Edward's lap, and let him reach out to his lower back and press gently.

"Leo, we're graduating next year, have you figured out where you're going?"

He didn't open his eyes: "Go wherever you can, I don't have anything to worry about after all, maybe it would be nice to go back to the kindergarten and become a teacher."

Edward pinched his waist in dissatisfaction: "I won't allow it."

Leo opened his eyes, with a half-smile on his face: "Your Excellency, unlike you, I have the freedom to do whatever I want. I just need to find a suitable job that can support me."

"So I asked you to go back with me." Edward bowed his head and kissed him on the forehead, his tone flattering.

Leo grunted, "I don't think I have the talent for biological research."

"Then let's get married, okay? You can do whatever you want, as long as you stay with me." The boy's voice was a little eager.

Leo looked at him from the bottom up and couldn't help laughing.

Edward was a little annoyed, and frowned: "I'm not joking, I'm serious."

Leo raised his hand to press the center of his brow, smoothed out the small crease, and comforted him, "I know."

"So you just agreed?" Edward's eyes lit up.

Leo laughed: "You are proposing? Where is the ring?" He raised his left hand as he spoke.

Edward: "..."

He searched around, and finally pulled out a somewhat withered grass stalk from the nearby grass, awkwardly looping it into a circle shape, but he didn't put it on immediately, but held it in his hand for a while.

Leo didn't wait for his action, and shook his fingers casually: "Repent?"

Edward put the pitiful grass stalk on his ring finger, and said fiercely: "I owe you the ring first, I will go back and give it to you, this one is not allowed to be picked."

Then he kissed Leo's knuckles: "I will never regret it in my life."

Leo looked at the rough "ring" on his hand, with a gentle smile in his eyes: "Okay."

The memory gradually faded, Shen Jianfeng closed his eyes, took out a simple black cloth bag from his pocket, and slowly opened it——

A ring that had completely turned into withered grass lay quietly on the black cloth, and the color of the grass stems had changed from the initial withered yellow to a little whitish.

He raised his hand, as if he wanted to touch the ring again, but in the end, his fingers were hanging in the air, as if he was afraid of damaging the grass stem that had been treasured for almost half a century, he slowly touched it with his fingertips at a distance of several inches. Trace its shape around.

As if he could no longer bear the weight of the memories, he rewrapped the cloth bag and put it in his arms. He turned his eyes to the gloomy sky outside the window, and the tears in the corners of his eyes were fleeting.

After a while, as if he had made up his mind, he picked up the phone on the table and dialed a series of numbers.

"Hey, it's me. I want to retrieve a sealed file. The specific code is 0389A/F. I will come over in person later. Well, Lieutenant Colonel Lu Ze may come over later. If you see him, let him go first. Wait for me in the lounge. Well, that's it."

At this moment, in the Institute of Biology, the laser laboratory.

Ling Qian was wearing a light blue surgical gown, a mask and goggles on his face, and the sleeve of his right hand was rolled up high, exposing a section of his forearm.

There was a row of test tube racks in front of him, with 5 or 6 test tubes inserted into it, and reagents of different colors were dripped into each test tube.

He pulled over a soft pillow next to him, hit his right arm up, and skillfully tied the rubber band on the upper arm with his left hand, rubbed iodine on the blood vessel in the bend of the arm, and inserted a thin needle into it.

The blood quickly flowed down the needle tube into the test tube next to it.Under the strong light of the laboratory, the color of the viscous liquid appeared a little pale.

It took him two tubes to get the needle out.Wiping the pinhole casually with a cotton swab, he turned around on the chair, took a sterilized dropper from the laboratory table behind, and carefully dropped the blood in the first test tube into the test tube rack respectively. Then put a label on the second tube of blood and put it on the other side, take out a clean cotton swab, wipe it around the mouth of the dropper where the blood was taken, and wipe the blood-stained cotton swab head with tweezers. Carefully peel it off and clamp it to a slide, and put the slide on the stage of the microscope.

After looking through the eyepiece for a while, he entered a few lines of data on the computer keyboard behind him and hit the Enter key.

The jumping cursor on the computer screen turned into a circle showing the progress of the calculation. After a few seconds, the circle disappeared, and a uniformly rotating RNA model jumped out on the screen.

Ling Qian looked at it for a while, frowning slightly, then turned around and went back to the test tubes where the blood samples were dripped earlier, picked up the test tubes and shook them, took the dropper again, and began to smear the turbidity in the test tubes one by one. Drops of liquid onto glass slides are viewed under a microscope.

Finally, after all the test tubes were sampled and observed, the computer screen had been divided into 8 windows of the same size, and a blue RNA helix was rotating at a constant speed in each window.

Ling Qian sat in front of the computer screen and checked the information displayed in each window, his face sank little by little.

After a while, he clicked on the computer window to close.After checking the database and confirming that no information was saved on the server, and all traces were cleared, he got up and took off the eyepiece, squeezed the space between his brows, picked up the second tube of blood sample that had been labeled before, and walked towards the laboratory. The other side.

It was a heavy metal door, and a striking radiation sign was pasted on each side of the door.

Ling Qian raised his hand and pressed a series of codes on the control panel next to the door. The door slowly slid open to both sides, and it closed automatically after he walked in.

Through the square glass on both sides above the door, one can vaguely see a dark blue light glowing inside, giving off an ominous atmosphere.

On the other side, after Lu Ze left General Shen's office, he didn't return to his own office. He hesitated for a second at the entrance of the hall on the first floor, turned around and was about to walk in another direction.

Just a few steps away, an orderly's voice came from behind: "Lieutenant Colonel Lu."

Lu Ze turned around: "What's the matter?"

"There is a copy of your document, which was sent by General Shen."

Lu Ze took it over: "Okay, thank you."

He lowered his head to look at the document bag. The words "internal archives" were written in black and white on the seal. He guessed that it might be the information of the new guide. hand, still walking in the previous direction.

The author has something to say:

The lost good things...
