Chapter 23: John's death
"Ah!" The female nurse shouted in alarm, "Someone come quickly, Mr. Yu has fainted!"
She hurriedly pressed a button, and the whole room went "drip drip drip".
Several scientists in white coats immediately rushed into the room, more anxious than the nurse, even ignoring the risk of infection, and just walked in. They took out all kinds of instruments to take Oliver's temperature, blood test, monitor his heartbeat, and so on.
"This time it should really be infected ..." suddenly sighed with relief from one scientist, who was the leader of the group named Aidan.
Another scientist even laughed: "Yeah, the temperature is 38.6 degrees Celsius, not too high. It's good that he fainted, fainting means he was officially infected by the virus."
"Such a large dose of the virus is already a lethal dose for a normal person ... It would be unscientific not to faint again." Aidan nodded.
"Let's just see if there are any results. This time, we can definitely find the specific white blood cells ..." said a young researcher who was unusually excited.
"Okay, you guys pay close attention to Mr. Yu's physical condition, test it once every thirty minutes, no ... ten minutes, and report back to me immediately with any findings."
"Yes!"
Hearing the words of these scientists, the female nurse's face became more and more upset, these scientists are too crazy to use the human body for experiments, the subject is still the leader of all mankind!
Although he is a super human, but he can't do it like this, it's really too crazy.
If the rest of the population knew about this, one person could drown them with their spit ...
The female nurse thought indignantly, she was a crazy fan of Oliver, her heart was really annoyed through.
However, these experiments were also approved by Oliver, for the sake of science, but also to save lives, she can not say anything more, but in the dark sulking ...
I don't know how much time has passed, Oliver felt a darkness in front of his eyes, his consciousness is still there, but the mind seems to be frozen, running very slowly.
He could not feel his heartbeat, nor could he feel any temperature, as if he was in a dark space. This dark space is ancient and long ago, dark and silent ... déjà vu, as if he had seen it before somewhere.
After a long time, he finally recalled that it was the time he fainted at the observatory ... Yes, it was this dark space, and in this moment, he saw that starry sky again, that little star that represents humanity!
Oliver had seen this scene when he was in a coma last time, and found it strange at the time, never thought that it would appear again now! Does it only appear when you faint?
In the center of the group of stars is a huge star, which is himself. Many small stars rotated around this star, releasing a steady stream of light and heat.
Oliver knew that each star represented a person in reality, and although he didn't know why it was such a strange phenomenon, he felt that it was not an illusion, but a psychic ability that belonged to him that had not yet been tapped.
"Also, I already had a strong sixth sense ... maybe it's a psychic ability." Oliver pondered.
Psychic ability, also known as telepathy, sounds very pseudo-scientific, but there are many real examples.
For example, twins often share emotions with each other, while low or high emotions. Another example is that sometimes you pick up the phone and suddenly feel like someone is going to call you, only to have the phone ring soon after!
This is telepathy ...
There are many mysteries of life that humans are not yet able to explain, and there are many phenomena in life that we cannot yet understand. As Crick, the father of human genetics, said, science does not easily deny everything that is unknown.
Oliver felt that this sun, as well as the pitch-black space, was his psychic ability, although he didn't know what it was for ...
He would have liked to study it, but he had never seen this starry sky after that coma. Unexpectedly, with this coma it came out instead.
Oliver's brain is now very stiff and slow to react, and it often takes a long time to think about something. Now it can be said that he is in the deepest part of the ocean of consciousness, using instinctive, subconscious thinking.
A few stars gradually ran to the outermost edge, already very dim, flickering, and threatening to go out at any moment.
They were all sick patients, and a flicker meant that they were in a very bad state of life.
Oliver instinctively looked at the dimmest star, which could go out at any time. His name is John, from a small country in South America, is currently in an urgent state of illness ... In this instant, some information rushed into Oliver's mind, a segment of images, like a movie, sprang up.
"John, to be honest ah." An honest middle-aged woman said to her young son, "We are all honest people as a family."
"Yes, mother." The young John nodded woodenly ...
"John, we may not be a good match, break up." A sweet-looking girl treats John as a spare tire and kicks him off after finding a high roller. Yes, he has ordinary looks and can't say sweet words, so it's really boring, or the rich and handsome have a future.
"... okay." John also do not stay, turned to leave, only to walk, while shedding tears ...
"John, the moon base is recruiting, the annual salary of $60,000, which is not low, with your grades can certainly. Our university must have someone to go, otherwise it will be downgraded, you have to think for your mentor ... I am this age, I can't go to the moon, right?"
John sighed and silently signed the contract.
"John? From South America?" The fat white leader looked at the resume and said disdainfully, "Be a miner."
And so John became a miner.
"Sixty thousand dollars a year is too high, the same as the Africans, thirty thousand." The white leader said again, and the rest, of course, went into his own pocket.
So his annual salary, became 30,000, John did not say a word more, just silently bear down ...
See here, Oliver heart blocked, honest people have no good report ah, honest people are bullied ah ...
"John, let's go to work together." "John, your level is not bad ah!"
However, in the lowest class of the moon base, John found true friendship and felt a touch of happiness.
"John, let's go steal vegetables, it's really too greedy ..."
John shook his head and said no.
"John, let you steal and not go ... Forget it, I'll share some with you, look at you like that ..."
He was happy.
"John, let's work overtime, the base can not be without electricity ah!"
He nodded.
"John, we're taking off, we're going to Mars!"
John, smiling ...
In those months when Oliver was on top, John finally felt truly happy, no more discrimination between people, no more exploitation, only equality, only solidarity, only friendship. Everyone was fighting for one goal, and he was really happy, very happy ...
Suddenly, the one star, representing John, rapidly dimmed. Just then, Oliver felt a strong sense of sadness.
"Ah! Patient No. 7 has stopped his heartbeat!" The Mars base was suddenly jumping up and down, this would be the first death case of the Mars virus ...
"John! Hang in there, hang in there!" A nurse was calling his name over and over, even with a little cry, "Doctor, save him! Save him!"
"Total organ failure, internal bleeding, and alas ... brainwave activity has stopped." The attending doctor also shook his head helplessly.
But Oliver felt that the strong feeling of sadness, which never receded, was like an obsession.
"John, you want honest people to stop being hurt, to stop being bullied, don't you?"
"You want this society to be better, more perfect, right?"
He had a feeling that John seemed to be talking to him, as if this was John's last obsession.
"Don't worry, I will do it! I swear!"
The small star, which had dimmed, suddenly merged into the big star represented by Oliver ...
John, gone, peacefully.
