Earth Invasion

Chapter 175 Diseases of Aging
From the day of human birth, we have been fighting against diseases.Smallpox, flu, plague, cholera, schistosomiasis, cancer, AIDS.In the history of the development of human civilization, we have fought against these terrible diseases step by step.

From witchcraft, divination, prayer, to herbal medicine, physical therapy.Then came the antibiotics in the industrial age, surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy, and finally the direct attack on genes until now. Human beings are gradually burying known diseases one by one.More than 60 years ago, after large-scale genetic optimization and modification, humans also filled the last shovel of soil with prions.At that time, someone once proudly said that we human beings finally buried the last of the three Malthusian knights.It seems that human beings can finally sit back and relax and live forever.

But, as it turns out, that's far-fetched.More than 30 years ago, human beings finally ushered in the "last enemy" (in the words of the World Medical Federation) on this road-death itself.

"Death knell", this is a terrible name given to this disease by the medical profession-maybe it is a disease, and medical scientists can only temporarily define it as a disease, because it is not even sure whether it is a disease or not.

There is only one appearance of this disease, and the sick person will rapidly age in a short period of time, irreversibly aging, until death.This aging cycle is uncertain. Judging from the known cases, the shortest will be the failure of various organs and death within a week.And for a long time, it will last for two years.

From a pathological point of view, it is the excessive wear and tear of mitochondria.Since the mitochondria itself is the tissue that stores energy, in the initial stage of the disease, people will become very hyperactive, and adults with the disease will even reappear the phenomenon of growing taller.Women's skin will become tight and smooth again.

However, this is just the beginning. In the following time, it is as if a person has been pressed the fast-forward button, rapidly aging, and then dying.

For this disease, human beings are helpless now, because from millions of cases, it is found that there is no pattern at all, no matter what race you are, whether you have undergone genetic modification, whether you are young or old There is a possibility of illness.In addition to this pathogenesis, humans have no understanding of this disease at all.I have absolutely no idea why I have this disease, and I have absolutely no idea how to treat it.Even with high doses of ATP, there is no relief.

The only possible rule is that, among these millions of cases, more than half are people living in space.But this cannot be regarded as a rule at all, because there are still many patients who have never left the earth.

That's why medical experts call this disease "death itself."Moreover, even the religious circles that no longer have any sense of existence have come out to stir up trouble, saying that it is the punishment of human beings for not believing in gods.This statement really confuses some people.

The Red Dragon Queen, Ilaya Kleinastasa, also suffers from this disease.She didn't even go to check her body. People like her are very sensitive to their own bodies.

The disease progressed quickly, and the radiant Red Dragon Queen had to hide her body with make-up and conservative clothing.

Although she was unwilling, she had to start thinking about where the Recycler Association would go after her death.

No one wants to die, unless death is inevitable, people will accept it.But after you accept this fate calmly, someone suddenly tells you that you don't have to die, then this person's psychology will change completely in an instant.

When Pandora appeared in front of her, the Red Dragon Queen was facing the mirror, feeling sorry for her already shriveled breasts and the wrinkles around her eyes.As a person who has gone through great storms, she will not be as frightened as ordinary people, and will not be overwhelmed by the fear of death.

But this "woman" who suddenly appeared in front of her still startled her.When scientific materialism has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, such "supernatural phenomena" are beyond people's imagination.Therefore, Kleinerstaza put a quotation mark on this "woman", which is probably not a person at all, but some kind of "phenomenon".

"You can indeed regard me as a phenomenon." After Pandora accurately said what the Red Dragon Queen was thinking verbatim, she finally confirmed that what she was in front of was a temporarily incomprehensible, powerful The presence.

When this "phenomenon" told her that she could solve her physical problems, she believed it without hesitation.

This meeting, the Red Dragon Queen will have that kind of performance.Because of my aging symptoms, I really recovered.

"May I take the liberty to ask, why is this?" Sitting in her seat, Ilaya Klenastasa sat up straight and looked at the one sitting in mid-air, still maintaining that posture Pandora.

"A choice, whether the quantum is left-handed or right-handed, determines everything."

"You mean, you can manipulate everything?"

Pandora didn't speak, this kind of routine behavior is a habitual action of people like Ilaya.And the Red Dragon Queen herself regretted it after saying this.

"Sorry, I was abrupt."

"It doesn't matter, carbon-based life, our life situation is different, and our thinking will be different. Since you have questions, it is only natural to ask."

Since the other party had this attitude, the Red Dragon Queen became more courageous.

"According to what you said, Yu Shangkun is a special existence to you?"

"This statement is correct, or, I am him."

"But why did you put him in danger?"

"Dangerous?" Pandora laughed silently, "Carbon-based life, do you think it will be dangerous?"

Well, for this life that can even exert influence on the mitochondria of the human body, I am afraid that looking at humans is like looking at bugs.The Red Dragon Queen felt like she had asked a stupid question.

"However, why don't you make your existence public? In other words, human beings are completely transparent to you. I can't understand why you would use such an awkward method to reveal the secret of Mr. Shang Kun."

Pandora smiled, and tapped her forehead with her hand: "I was once a human being, and I understand the little thoughts of human beings very well. If I directly disclose this secret now, what will happen to human beings? What do you think they Is it panic or excitement, for my existence, are they going to kill me at the first time, or do they worship me?"

Ilaya is at a loss for words, I am afraid that both of these situations will exist.She is wise not to dwell on this issue.

"Don't worry, human beings will always break through this link on the road of evolution. At that time, by virtue of your human social status, you will be the first batch of prosthetic and electronic people. Mitochondrial wear and tear is a disease for you. It's no longer a problem."

Ilaya was terrified, and just when she was about to say something, Pandora had disappeared, leaving only one sentence.

"There's another side of me coming, good luck."

Dongfang Hao was sitting in Ilaya's room, and when the Red Dragon Queen walked in, he couldn't help frowning.

"Why do you feel that you look at me a little strangely today?"

"Strange?" Yilaya sat down calmly. Of course, when she looked at Dongfang Hao just now, she had a lot of thoughts in her heart, curiosity, looking at the prey, and the hope of digitizing herself, all kinds of thoughts.I didn't expect it to show in my eyes.And this guy in front of him is really sharp enough.

"Coffee or wine." Ilaya stood up.

"Boiled water."

The Red Dragon Queen was taken aback, she put down the cup in her hand and turned around.

"you sure?"

"determine."

Sighing, she came over with a cup filled with water and put it on the table: "Old Yu, it's not me who is weird, it's you, right?"

"Perhaps. You know about the attack on us at the Hilton."

The Red Dragon Queen nodded: "Your shareholder, Gao Qiu. His mouth has always been the most open-minded. I knew it a long time ago, why, wanting revenge? It's not very common to be attacked like this ."

"But I won't be happy to let people hold down and beat me up. And the other party is not a person who abides by our rules, so of course I have to think about it." Dongfang Hao grabbed the water glass and drank do.

"How did you think about it?"

"Is there any work to run to Assyria, give me some."

"You want to run away?" Yilaya almost laughed out loud, "Did I hear you right? Old Yu, I think you should find a place to relax. You gave me a lot of surprises today."

"I said it as if I regarded running away as a great shame. A bachelor does not fight for power. If you end up, of course I don't need to run away."

"Ha, you clearly know that my position will not allow me to do anything swaying. Well, I happen to have some work here, maybe it's right for you to do it." She said, from her own A contract is called up on the personal terminal.

"A normal transportation contract from SCO." Yilaya emphasized the word normal, "You can see for yourself."

After taking over the document, Dongfang Hao looked it up and down, and he basically understood what was going on.

"Integrated fusion furnaces, fully mechanized mining equipment, and selected equipment. Is the SCO planning to set up an industrial system for the Assyrians?"

"It's more like a re-export trade. Even the sales of the materials produced have been considered. You are indeed a businessman."

"Okay, it's a good deal, although I won't delve into what's included in it, anyway, when should I go?"

"Whatever, just leave after resting. You know the delivery person, on Transit No. [-]. That Mayor Yang will arrange everything for you."

The matter was almost finished, Dongfang Hao got up to leave.Ilaya added a sentence later: "Of course, if the Assyrians want to hire you, is it a good thing?"

Dongfang Hao snorted and walked away.

Zhang Mai didn't know that Dongfanghao was coming to Assyria again. After returning to Serraronte from underwater in Belinda's small submarine, the group of them walked for two days before taking the heavy PA and damage. The exoskeleton reaches Bestobe.In order to deceive others, they did not come back during the day, but went to the city secretly at night.The incident in Oak Ridge taught them that the Rebel Army is not monolithic, and some people will act as traitors and tip off the people on Earth.

When they went out, a group of people were smug, thinking that they could teach the earthlings a big lesson, but when they came back, there were not many people who said that the lesson of the earthlings was the result of their own internal struggle.Although these exoskeletons give people like themselves the power to resist, it is far from enough to truly defeat the people on earth.

In the Duke's mansion, Zhang Mai met Li Chiqi and the others, and at the same time saw another person who should not be here.The cook Ai Cixiu came back at some point, and Xiao Xi was beside him.

"Brother Cook, aren't you at the southern border?" Zhang Mai was a little puzzled.

"I can't wait, I can't wait. Of course I have to rush back first." Ai Cixiu patted Zhang Mai on the shoulder, "I must have suffered a lot."

"It's okay." Zhang Mai smiled wryly, "Have you finished all your affairs?"

"The armed parade of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization is not over yet. Those traffickers will not act for the time being, and people on the border are starting to migrate to the hinterland. I have nothing to do for the time being." The cook rubbed his nose, "However, NATO and space There is tension between the circles, and the demand for various resources continues unabated. According to this situation, the profit of selling Assyrian male slaves will become higher and higher. I am afraid that there will be more real outlaws joining in. The contact from Mayor Yang of SCO came. The first batch of aid materials have been boxed and will arrive in two months. Before that, we'd better stop for a while. Glancing over, "At the same time, you must train your mob well."

"The mob?" Zhang Mai was taken aback for a moment. These guerrillas were experienced in many battles. How did they become a mob in the mouth of the cook?
"Are you not convinced?" Li Chiqi smiled, "If you don't believe me, just go and ask, look at the soldiers under Miss Aida, how many of them can read thermal imagers, how many can do map operations, and how many of them How many can analyze information?"

"Also, you don't even know how to repair your own guy, so what kind of a genuine fighter is it? It's not a mob." Ai Cixiu picked up the quarrel, "This time, you also know that a person from Earth marched with the Assyrians , What is it like to do logistical maintenance? Even if you have three heads and six arms, how many nails can you twist?"

Zhang Mai was speechless.

Just when he was a little downcast, a burst of footsteps came into his ears.As soon as he turned around, a pink figure had rushed over.

Boom~crash.

Li Chiqi and Ai Cixiu roared with laughter.Zhang Mai lay face up on the ground, covering his face with his hands.

What is it like to be knocked into a gourd by one's own girlfriend?

"Okay, we two old fellows won't bother your kid to make out with your horse anymore. But I warn you, don't slip up on the bed, and don't be caught by your horse, hahahaha." Li Chiqi and Ai Ci Xiu's head appeared on top of Zhang Mai's head, and after a while of ridicule, the two guys went out with their shoulders crossed while they talked dirty jokes.Zhang Mai was left standing dead on the ground, but An Ge buried his head in Zhang Mai's chest and refused to look up.

When Xiao Xi went out, she closed the door carefully, and left quickly.

In this weird situation, Zhang Mai felt that he had to do something. If he didn't do anything, he would probably be worse than a beast.

Before he could move, An's hands were wrapped around his neck, and a warm lips kissed him!
