Blackstone Code

"Am I going to die?"

President Bowling's voice is very weak. Fortunately, the mouth and tongue he uses are all original, otherwise he would not be able to speak now.

But even so, the sound he could make was very weak.

The doctor didn't answer immediately. His eyes flickered, obviously thinking of an excuse.

"No need to hide it from me, I have the right to know my situation!"

He then looked at the blue infusion bag with a little left. There was not much medicine left in it, only a little was left.

He remembered that there was no such thing before, and he had just slept, maybe it was because of this.

"Is this a special medicine?"

The doctor nodded, "The new medicine just sent by the director is specifically for your situation."

"As for your problem, I'm actually not very clear about it. I can only say that everyone is trying to find ways to help you get through the most difficult time."

"After the Gothe particles erupt again, all the problems you face will be solved."

President Bowling felt tired after just a few words, and speaking was painful, requiring the use of muscles that did not belong to him.

Every time I use it, there is a tearing pain.

Miraculously, his tolerance for this kind of severe pain has obviously improved a lot.

"Can it last forever?"

"I'm sorry, I don't know."

"I want to see him."

The doctor quickly told the chief scientist about President Bowling's awakening and the need to see him.

After waiting for several hours, the chief scientist finished his work in the laboratory and came here wearing a new set of clothes.

"You want to meet me?"

President Bowling blinked, trying not to use muscles that didn't belong to him.

"Can this medicine be continuously supplied?"

He doesn't care what the raw materials of this medicine are, he only cares about whether it can continue to supply him.

The chief scientist did not answer directly, "The additional use of hormones will cause the human body to develop a very special kind of resistance. Once this resistance develops, the dose that needs to be input will become larger and larger."

"The total amount of all the hormones in this infusion bag is only about 0.5 grams. What we are doing is recording your resistance to this hormone to analyze its most cost-effective use span."

President Bowling interrupted him impatiently, "You mean I can't afford this medicine."

The chief scientist shook his head, "I'm just stating a fact. The extraction of every gram of hormone requires the sacrifice of at least two lives, sometimes three or four."

"I don't know if you have read some books about science in the Middle Ages. It actually behaves like something called a philosopher's stone. It uses life to concentrate the essence and produce amazing changes!"

"It's very costly, and if the intermission period between high particle bursts is too long, we may need to seek other solutions."

President Bowling stared into his eyes, "Just some people!"

The chief scientist was silent for a while. He raised his hand and motioned for everyone else to go out. After everyone left, he said, "Many people died when I was doing experiments."

"Thousands of people, tens of thousands, tens of thousands of people!"

"But I rarely feel scary or shaken in my heart, because I know that they pay the price of death, but they can benefit dozens, hundreds, or even tens or hundreds of thousands of times of living humans."

"But I don't want to do it simply to sacrifice thousands or tens of thousands of lives simply to extend someone's life."

The two looked at each other for a while, and President Bowling couldn't see much hope in the other's eyes. "Can I just wait to die?"

The chief scientist shook his head, "I don't know. I will try my best to help you survive."

"While we are using, proving, and studying this hormone, we are also looking for alternatives that can be mass-produced, or similar compounds. As I just said, I will try my best to prevent you from dying."

"But it's not a guarantee, a guarantee that you won't die."

President Bowling closed his swollen eyes, as if asking himself, or convincing the chief scientist, or more like describing something incredible, "It's just some people."

The chief scientist left quickly. There was still a lot of work waiting for him. He actually didn't take President Bowling's words to heart at all.

This was the confidence given to him by other members of the Eternal Life. If President Bowling dared to threaten him in any way, there would be no need to wait for his rejection to kill him.

Those other members will kill him with their own hands!

After joining the Eternal Life, the chief scientist has seen the history of the birth of the Eternal Life Institution, although it has only been in the Federation for less than three hundred years.

But before that, there was a large group of people studying immortality, and they had been doing so for hundreds of years, or even longer!

The Holy Peace Society brought these people together through various methods, and then achieved eternal life. Therefore, its foundation is far from being easily challenged by a federal president!

For hundreds of years, everyone has been very close to true immortality, and no one will allow anyone to destroy it, not even anyone else or themselves!

Originally, this kind of thing did not need to be reported, but the chief scientist considered some work issues and reported it anyway.

Soon the core members of the Immortal Institution received a call, including Lynch.

"The day after tomorrow?"

"Okay, I understand, I will definitely attend on time."

After hanging up the phone, Lynch playfully touched his prickly beard. He hadn't gone out in the past two days, so he hadn't shaved.

Just now, the senior contact of the Everlasting Institution told him that there will be a small senior member meeting in two days where some important matters need to be discussed, and Lynch was invited to attend.

Whether it is mythology or medical science, Lynch has made great contributions, so becoming a core member is inevitable.

Moreover, he also contributed a lot to the end of the world. It can be said that the current structure of the entire world is due to him!

Although I'm not sure why he was suddenly invited to a meeting, it must be something very special.

Soon he stopped wasting time on this issue and went to study his golden badge.

He originally thought that as the Gothe particles decayed, the gold badge's swallowing of gold would also enter a period of decay, but what he didn't expect was that the speed at which it swallowed gold did not slow down, but instead increased slightly.

This is amazing, but it’s not easy to tell others about it. I can only study it slowly by myself. Anyway, winter is still very long, at least there are still two or three months left.

He asked people to prepare a large number of ancient books and research materials, and spent all day in the study looking for content related to the Golden Thorn.

It's just that most of the references to golden thorns in literature are done separately.

That is, gold, and thorns. There is no direct content about gold and thorns.

This also made Lynch more interested in this badge. Its appearance and craftsmanship were obviously very good, and it didn't look like it was produced by a small workshop at all.

At the same time, its form is very similar to something owned by nobles.

Thorns are not good things. They are full of thorns. They should be very special and have some special meaning. If they really exist in history, they should have a very obvious goal.

But there were none of these, and in the end he could only set his sights on those mythical stories.

Time always disappears unconsciously when reading. Seeing that it was almost dinner time, Lynch put down the book and rubbed his eyes.

Maybe he moved too much, or maybe the book wasn't fully placed on the desk, causing it to fall.

When he picked up the book about ancient mythology in his hand, he was somewhat unexpectedly attracted by the content facing him.

"...The Great Disruption was a very special period. From our excavation work on some ruins, we found that history seemed to have a gap at this moment."

"Before the Great Destruction, human society seemed to have a very developed civilization. The performance of some ruins allows us to understand that it must have been a very brilliant period."

"But the sudden cataclysm that destroyed civilization across the world, from a scientific point of view, we think it could have been an asteroid attack."

"In the end, ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of all living things will become extinct, leaving only a handful of lucky humans, allowing humanity to continue."

"The following are some items that we found in several ruins before the Great Disruption that may have special significance..."

In many photos, Lynch saw a shield. Half of the shield had been broken. The remaining part was covered with thorns, and something seemed to be wrapped among the thorns.

"Mr. Lynch, it's time to eat."

Lin Qi was stunned for a moment, came back to his senses, looked at the "Research Report on the Great Disillusionment and Mythology" in his hand, and fell into deep thought. Maybe he should talk to those who work on mythology.

Then he put down the book and went to the restaurant to eat.

A very simple dinner, beef, lamb, and shrimp, and of course fresh vegetables and fresh fruits.

No matter how the world changes, there is actually not much change for the upper class.

They still enjoy the resources they could enjoy in the past, still control other people's lives, and determine other people's destiny.

The only thing that may be different is that they have no way to determine the natural environment around them.

On the morning of the third day, as agreed, Lynch went to the gathering point of the Eternal Life Institution in Bupen.

Although the road was closed due to heavy snow, it was inconvenient, but as word spread that Lynch planned to go out, ice breakers and snow plows started working overnight.

When Lynch went out in the morning, a newly cleared road without snow and ice led straight to a manor in the suburbs!

This world is completely different from before, but not that big of a difference!
