"Are you awake?" Opening

his eyes again, Carl was a little confused, only to hear a man's voice in his ears.

"I...

"My lab -- I'm Dr. Connors, if you still have an impression.

Your doctor referred you to me, saying that you seem to have a serious cellular disease. In

the lab, Dr. Connors, who has only one hand, wears a white robe, shuttling between various instruments, monitoring all of Carl's signs, and occasionally writing something on his computer and notebook.

At this time, Carl remembered that the last time he was in the hospital, the doctor said that he would transfer him, a rare disease patient, to Dr. Connors, and he agreed.

It seems that after the last battle, his illness has become a lot worse.

Carl smiled wryly - he thought that with the glimmer, he would not have to be in the hospital every day.

"It's really... Miraculously, it seems that Mr. Karl has not only studied in the field of mechanical engineering, but also has a lot of achievements in biomedicine. As

if he had discovered something, Dr. Connors looked at the analysis data and marveled.

Carl sat up, although his body was still a little weak, but in general there was not much problem.

"First of all, you implanted some kind of syringe in both of your forearms—the doctor didn't find it, but I'd say the material was so powerful that it didn't cause any inflammation."

I think that taking this material out alone can make a lot of money as a medical device.

Carl shook his head and didn't deny it.

"Secondly, there is your physical condition: Mr. Carr, your physical condition is very bad.

Similar to cancer, some of your cells have undergone large-scale genetic mutations, and cell function is lost, and as these cells keep dividing, you will accelerate death.

But in theory, you should have died a long time ago.

The blunt words made Carl raise an eyebrow: "It's really direct, Doctor."

Dr. Connors patted his head apologetically: "Sorry, I forgot for a while." Because

what happened to Carl was so peculiar, he suddenly forgot that Carl was still a patient, and thought that he was a research scientist like himself!

"In short, a large part of the cells in your body are 'dead' and cannot work properly, and there are so many cells in the normal human body that eat and drink in vain, and have long been lying in bed waiting to die."

But you're different, the rest of your cells are activated, or strengthened, and they're overdrawing their potential.

This will greatly shorten the number of cell divisions, but it can greatly enhance your body's performance and allow you to move like a normal person.

I guess this is the effect of the injection you used.

Dr. Connors said and opened the door of the examination room and handed Carl a dress as he walked out.

Carl put on his clothes and secretly sighed in his heart, professional is different.

"Yes, but it's privacy – you know what I mean?

"I understand. Dr. Connors' expression was a little hesitant, but he finally made up his mind, "But that might be important to me, and if I could, I would like to borrow a little of that kind of thing."

Carl glanced at Connors and said, "We can talk about this later, how is my illness?"

Connors pressed a few times on the console to switch the lab to display mode.

The lights faded, the projector came on, and Connors began his own explanation

: "The disease that occurs in you is rare and complex, and I have two guesses: First, the mutation that occurs in you may be induced by ionizing radiation.

Carl nodded slightly.

He remembers what the doctor said when he first arrived in the world: he had been exposed to excessive ionizing radiation.

"In this case, there's only one way to cure you: gene therapy.

And this is exactly related to the direction of my current research: cross-species gene transplantation.

Carl understood: there are many directions for gene repair, the most radical of which is, of course, modifying DNA one by one.

But obviously, that's not realistic, at least not now.

And cross-species gene transplantation is different.

In Connors' introduction, he has thoroughly studied the self-healing genes of reptiles, and only needs to find a way to transplant and stabilize this gene in human DNA to allow humans to obtain self-healing ability.

Almost all diseases and injuries can be repaired.

In theory, it is possible to repair Karl's genetic damage.

Carl touched his chin and said, "So... Do you want my injection to assist the research?"

I noticed that your injection can stimulate cell potential and enhance DNA expression, which is a very fascinating effect, maybe it can inspire me.

Carl didn't speak, just thinking about the possibility, while he noticed another thing, "What about the other situation?

Connerston paused for a moment, then said, "There is another situation, you may be a mutant.

As soon as the word mutant was spoken, Carl froze -

so far, everything that has happened is very close to the various Marvel movies he knows.

And whether it's Iron Man or Spider-Man, there are no mutants in these movies - they're another series.

And now, Connors says there are mutants in the world?

"Oh, you may not pay much attention to these – mutants are generally half an urban legend in our group, but for researchers like us, I can tell you that they are real."

Before the special genes of mutants were expressed, they were no different from ordinary people.

But after expression, the gene changes, which I haven't observed, but I think there may be such a process.

If this is the case... In theory, you don't have to worry about dying.

After that, Dr. Connors didn't know what came to mind, adding: "Of course, I don't know much about them, and it may not be so.

But... I believe my research is helpful in both cases in you.

After listening to it, Karl had already rejected the second situation in his heart: the predecessor may have participated in some strange experiment, and had a past that he did not know.

Imagine that the predecessor also had a sister....

The predecessor did not have a formal education, unlike his previous life, it was very difficult to feed two people in such a world, especially if the other person also had to pay a lot of medical expenses.

Carl knows how difficult it is, even his previous life himself thought about selling his body organs, and the predecessor may have participated in some human experiments because of this.

That's a bit of a hassle... There are countless physical experiments in this world secretly....

Carl frowned, and in Connors' eyes it seemed that he was thinking carefully, and the latter's heart tightened.

He desperately needed to find a breakthrough immediately – because of recent mistakes, Osborne had decided to cut off his funding.

This is his last chance.

"I'll go back and think about it, Doctor, thank you for your help, give me a moment to think about it, and get back to you in a week."

Dr. Connors gave a reluctant smile when he heard this, but he also understood that since Carl was hiding this potion, he would naturally be cautious, and it was related to his small life.

And Carl only thought of one thing:

he just tied the Green Goblin back to the house, and he didn't "touch the body" yet.
