I Have A Super USB Drive

  Detecting the disgusting smell coming from the man, the secretary resisted the discomfort and said, "Mr. Brooke, is it? We're from Blacklight Biotechnology. This is our general manager, Mr. Qian Wenhuan…"

  The secretary waited for a while, but the man in front of him still did not respond. He had to continue. "We want to sign a contract with you. If you agree, we can remodel you…"

  Nonetheless, up until this point, the man still did not move and not even his eyes flickered.

  "He's become like this a long time ago."

  Just when the secretary was at a loss, the voice of the black woman suddenly came from behind them. Her voice was calm as if talking about a total stranger. "I've tried. No matter what happens outside, he will not respond. He's dead, spiritually dead."

  Qian Wenhuan glanced at the woman, then stepped forward and squatted directly beside the man's bed. "Mr. Brooke, I know you can hear our words, so let me skip the nonsense. What if I say we can make you stand up again?"

  Even so, the man still did not move. If it were not for his opened eyes and the visible rise and fall of his chest, everyone would think that he was just a corpse.

  Seeing that the man still did not react, Qian Wenhuan finally shook his head and prepared to turn around and leave.

  However, when he turned around, a hoarse voice suddenly came from behind him. "What you said — is it true?"

  "Of course it's true, Mr. Brooke."

  Qian Wenhuan turned his head and flashed a meaningful smile. "But the only requirement is that you need to sacrifice something."

  "I have nothing to give up."

  Brooke slowly raised his head and it was as if there was something shivering in his pupils the color of cold ash. "As long as I can stand again, I'll give up all I have…"

  A few minutes later, Qian Wenhuan and the others walked out of the room because Brooke had easily signed the contract.

  Two of the three targets had been achieved and next, there was only one target left.

  However, the remaining target was not in Windhoek, the capital of Namibia, but in a small village farther away.

  Thus, Qian Wenhuan took the helicopter again and hurried toward Neham Village, a hundred kilometers away.

  This time, it took two hours for them to find the black detective named Blake.

  As a native of Namibia, this man named Blake had completely lost his mobility after his limbs were cut off by drug dealers. However, he did not sink into despair and give up like the previous Brooke but found a new job — weaving straw ropes and fishnets.

  With his agile mouth, Blake could sit at the table all afternoon and weave a few meters of straw rope. Of course, this was if someone had put the raw material for the straw rope in front of him.

  With this job, he lived with his parents and could even make a living with this.

  "Who are you people, was it the police who sent you here to solve my physical problems?

  "Oh please, how many times have I asked the police station to please send me a woman, I don't care if she's white or black, fat or thin. But they send me a bunch of big guys every time?

  "D*mn, am I going to get my cherry popped? Those drug dealers that chopped off my limbs had spared my little guy, but now you guys are gonna pop my cherry?"

  Looking at the black man yammering away while sitting on the stone bench with a row of straw ropes in front of him, Qian Wenhuan's secretary could not help being a little surprised.

  It was not as if he had not considered the man's situation. If Blake wanted to survive in a poor country like Namibia without his limbs, he would need to support himself in addition to having a certain family background, but the secretary did not expect that Blake would be so optimistic.

  Although he was full of swear words, everyone could tell that the man in front of them was not broken down at all.

  "I, I am…"

  When the black man in front of him had tirelessly rapped his piece, the secretary came forward. When he was just arranging his words in his head, Qian Wenhuan patted him on the shoulder and said directly, "Mr. Blake, we're from Blacklight Biotechnology, not sent by the police station."

  "So that's it? No wonder it's not a group of black dudes."

  The black man bared his white teeth and laughed. "So what is the purpose of you Chinese guys coming here? Surely it's not because I'm some sort of tourist attraction? My stinky neighbor always gets this idea, he's discussed it with me. Ten Namibian dollars for a ticket to visit me, twenty for a photo with me, but I think tourists surely can't be bored enough to visit some black man when there are plenty of us all over the street."

  "We have another purpose."

  Qian Wenhuan smiled. He did not respond to the other party's mouthful of babble and just said, "Listening to your speech, it seems that you're deeply influenced by American culture. Then I think you must have seen a Hollywood movie, the name of that movie is Robocop…"

  "No, I haven't watched it. It sounds a bit like a superhero movie."

  Blake shook his head blankly. "I have only seen one superhero movie, it's called Black Panther.

  "…"

  Chapter 456: Operation |

  The next day, when Chen Chen got up from the Medpod 3000, he had already received the news that the three people had been transported back.

  It was not only the three targets but their families, who would also move to Eco Science City within this week. Qian Wenhuan had arranged three suites for them at a district in the city center.

  Seeing this, Chen Chen left the Spire laboratory directly after washing up and returned to the Biological Research Center.

  The Biological Research Center also had its own independent ward and it was far more advanced than Eco Science City Central Hospital. At this time, in a ward of the lab building, Chen Chen got a good look at the police officer named Hodge.

  At this time, Hodge had been stuffed into a life incubator and it was also filled with amniotic fluid. Hodge was suspended in the center of the incubator, with a large number of tubes connected to his mouth, nose, and even all over his body. He was like an unborn baby.

  The life incubator was surrounded by seven or eight expert surgeons.

  "Mr. Chen!"

  "Boss…"

  "Boss!"

  When Chen Chen arrived, the group greeted him immediately.

  "Thanks for your hard work, everyone."

  Chen Chen nodded in response and said, "The purpose I invited you to come is very simple. It's to do everything possible to save the life of this police officer. I think it shouldn't be difficult for you all."

  "It's not difficult if we're only keeping him alive, but the difficulty is in getting him out of this life-saving device and him still surviving."

  A middle-aged man with a ruddy complexion said, "At present, his burns are too serious. Anyone who experiences this kind of injury will die on the spot. But not only did he not die, but he also held on for half a month in a regular ICU ward. I must admit, it's quite a miracle…"

  "It shows that the patient has a strong willpower and the desire to survive."

  Someone else nodded and admitted, "But this is also related to how his physical fitness was strong enough. I can hardly believe that his immune system is still working and hasn't been defeated by infected bacteria…"

  "Now we have disinfected his body and placed him in a sterile solution to cut off the channels for bacteria to multiply. Now his life can be preserved."

  The middle-aged man continued to speak, "And now the first step we need to do is to replace the lungs. Sixty percent of the patient's lungs have stopped functioning. We'd better searched internationally to purchase a pair of lungs that match his DNA to perform a transplant."

  "No need for that."

  Hearing this, Chen Chen replied immediately, "Project Xingtian's department has developed mature bionic organs, including bionic stomachs, bionic hearts, and bionic lungs that can replace one's digestive organs. These can be used on Hodge first and the department members of Proje
ct Xingtian will soon contact you."

  "Thank God…"

  "This is inspiring news…"

  Many doctors immediately perked up. Chen Chen's news was exciting because the advent of this technology meant that in the future, it was very likely that some patients would no longer need to wait for an organ donor.

  After all, this group of people was only contract workers of Blacklight Biotechnology. Although they were all internationally renowned professor-level doctors, they were not members of God's Forbidden Zone. Therefore, they would not know that, back when Project Xingtian was launched, there were already corresponding bionic organs, just that Chen Chen felt they were too advanced, so they were struck off.

  However, it had been a year since the launch of Project Xingtian. Now Blacklight Biotechnology had successfully leveled up to become a legal arms dealer. Under this circumstance, some technologies that had to be concealed before could now be released without fear of being coveted by other countries.

  Now, all continents and countries had regarded Blacklight Biotechnology as an existence of equal rank, rather than a piece of pie for everyone to fight over.

  "In addition, we also need to use his DNA to cultivate the skin and give him skin grafts, otherwise, he will not be able to leave the incubator."

  At this moment, someone on the side suddenly added. "It will take about two to three months for all this to be done. Then it will be time for the bionic prosthetic design department to do its job."

  Chen Chen nodded when he heard these words. Two to three months was still within a time frame he could accept. At this, he found a reason at random to turn and leave.

  If Chen Chen used the Medpod 3000, he could indeed heal Hodge's injury within a few minutes. Although the excised limbs would not grow back, at least Hodge would be instantly pulled back from death's door.

  However, if this was the case, his healing process would become a mystery. In the future, Hodge might be a world-famous member of the Interpol, exposed to thousands of spotlights. At that time, every wisp of mystery surrounding him would be explored, so Chen Chen was naturally unwilling to leave behind any clues now.

  Therefore, Chen Chen decided to use traditional methods to treat Hodge. At the same time, his treatment process would be recorded every day, which would become evidence of his fight against the disease. It would be publicized when Hodge became a Robocop in the future, naturally winning him even more fans.

  Next, Chen Chen went to the next room and saw the two other targets — Brooke and Blake.

  Brooke suffered from spinal paralysis and he had not been kept in shape for many years. His limbs had completely atrophied and become necrotic. Even if the God chip were installed, he could not control his necrotic limbs to stand up again.

  Not only that, but he was also plagued by various complications such as liver cirrhosis, hydronephrosis, diabetes, and so on. Therefore, the first operation he had upon coming to Eco Science City was to remove his necrotic limbs and hollow out the liver in his abdomen and one of his kidneys, plus a liposuction operation.

  On the flip side, Blake was in the best shape.

  Blake relied on his flexible mouth and tongue to weave straw ropes all year round and his lips were unusually nimble. He even boasted that he could bend down and bite himself, but because of this, he suffered from serious cervical spondylosis and needed a corrective operation.

  At this time, both of them were wearing hospital gowns and sitting in wheelchairs and in front of them was an attending doctor in charge of them. The few of them did not notice Chen Chen's arrival, who only heard the doctor say:

  "Mr. Brooke, in the next operation, we'll amputate your limbs and we also need to remove your kidneys because they have lost their function in the past few years."

  The doctor looked regretful. "But please be rest assured, we naturally have a replacement. After your organs have been substituted for new ones, your body will be healthier than before. Then, using our bionic prosthesis, we'll make you stand up successfully once more."

  Still, no matter what the doctor said, the man named Brooke just remained collapsed in the wheelchair and did not move at all.

  However, by this point, the doctor also knew that Brooke had heard him clearly, but was just unwilling to respond. This was a type of post-traumatic stress disorder caused by a huge blow.

  On one side, nonetheless, Blake could not sit still anymore. He shot an unkindly look at the fat Brooke, and then sighed. "Man, you're willing to let yourself go after a small setback like this? Are you The Thinker or something? What are you meditating on, are you like some little girl who's praying silently in her heart?"

  With that, Blake put on an aggrieved, feminine manner, and at the same time said in a high-pitched voice, "God, come and save me, save me, I'm trapped under this sack of meat and can't move anymore. Who can help me? I want to stand, I want to run. Run, b*tch, run…"

  "Er…"

  The attending doctor wore an awkward look. "Mr. Blake, your body is very healthy. The only thing is that you have cervical spondylosis. We only need to perform an operation on you to correct it."

  "These operations are free, right?"

  Blake perked up and quickly asked, "After all, I don't have the money to pay. If I have to pay back the bill, I think I can become a toy for those rich ladies. Have you ever heard of a human toilet? Here I am! And I'm so hard, all the villagers call me Granite…"

  "Enough, enough, enough…"

  The doctor raised his hand, gestured for a pause, and tamped down his inner anger. "Stop! Mr. Blake, I, we at Blacklight Biotechnology spent hundreds of millions of dollars to tailor a Black Panther armor for you. As a result, you now want to be a human toilet? Would you please respect our profession?"

  "Please buddy, don't you want to try it?"

  Blake was not ashamed but proud. He was just about to say something but saw Chen Chen was standing there at some unknown time. "It's another Chinese guy. Hey buddy, do you think what I said makes sense?"

  "It makes sense. So what do you plan to name your armor?"

  Chen Chen stepped forward and said casually, "The Granite or the Black Panther?"

  "This…"

  Blake was dumbfounded and fell into a dilemma.

  "Mr. Chen!"

  The attending doctor greeted him immediately, "Why are you here?"

  "I just came for a look, don't mind me."

  Chen Chen waved his hand and stood aside to listen.

  Next, the attending doctor explained a series of things that those two should pay attention to. Brooke remained as still as a corpse. Even if Blake was on the side, no matter how vulgar his words were, Brooke still did not respond. Moreover, Blake kept cracking offensive jokes, greatly infuriating the attending doctor.

  Seeing this, Chen Chen did not know whether to laugh or cry, because he understood that Blake also had a huge psychological issue. It was just concealed under that cheerful appearance and the fact that his mouth never slowed down was the best proof.

  Nonetheless, Chen Chen could help treat their physical injuries, but they could only rely on themselves to recover psychologically.

  More than an hour finally passed before the attending doctor asked the nurse to bring them down.

  Leaving the lab building, Chen Chen saw Little X as soon as he walked out the door.

  At this time, Little X was wearing a modern white dress, squatting on the lawn outside the door, holding her chin with both hands, and obediently waiting for Chen Chen to come out.

  Chen Chen had become accustomed to the fact that Little X used this body to run around. Not only him, but even everyone in Blacklight Biotechnology already knew that there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl by Chen Chen's side, who had extremely high authority and could go in and out any place she liked.

  As for the real identity of this little girl, no one knew about it. Even Qian Wenhuan, who had the highest authority in the Eco Science City, did not know. He only thought that she was seen by Chen Chen as a g
odsister and she was also a knowledgeable scientific research genius.

  Seeing Chen Chen coming out, Little X immediately smiled in elation, and ran to Chen Chen in two or three steps, twirling around like a butterfly. "Sir Godfather, do I look good in my new clothes?"

  Chen Chen took a casual look and said perfunctorily, "It's okay, it looks no different from before."

  "Oh…"

  Little X suddenly became a little crestfallen and then said, "Sir Godfather, I have simulated the results of the surgery. I think Brooke and Hodge need a more thorough remodeling operation, which not only shortens the time but also prevents the risk of death for Hodge now."

  Chen Chen was immediately engaged. He nodded and said, "Tell me."

  "Isn't Hodge burned all over? Not only did he lose his skin, but even his muscles were burned away, so I think his body is no longer necessary for salvation."

  Little X tilted her head and said, "We can amputate everything starting from the bottom of Hodge's neck. This saves us the time waiting for him to heal. Anyway, with our current technology, even a single head can be kept alive and the same goes for Brooke and Blake."

  "This is indeed the best choice."

  Chen Chen smiled and then explained, "But we have to consider more than these factors. In addition, we have to consider a very important thing — human sympathy.

  "Don't forget, we'll need them to stand under the world's spotlight in the future. Then everything about them will be revealed. If someone exposes their medical records, won't the entire world soon know that we've removed some of their functioning parts?

  "That's giving them the evidence they need."

  Chen Chen shook his head and half-jokingly said, "So, we try not to make trouble on these issues. Don't forget how the company's bosses always die in the movie Robocop. I don't want to repeat the same mistakes."

  "Ok…"

  Little X shrugged and replied with a pouting mouth, "Then we'll just follow the doctor's plan, but it will cost more money and we'll need to design unique armors for them. This way, the cost is even greater."
