Chapter 281 A way out
"But even if we increase it to 500,000, the law enforcement system will definitely not agree?" A president is still relatively clear-headed, "Aurora City has market supervision, our price is too outrageous, they will definitely send someone come over……"
"Those low-level law enforcement officers, whenever they come, give each of them 50 kilograms of coal. They can use it themselves or sell it at a higher price. The law enforcement officer will give an extra 100 kilograms for every additional grain. They don't have to do anything. Just delay it a little bit.”
Yan Sheng took out the ticket from his pocket and spoke slowly, "Our train will leave in three hours... In this situation, three hours is enough for us to clear out all the inventory."
"Yes, but what if they don't accept it?"
"Don't accept it?"
Yan Sheng smiled slightly.
boom--! !
The next moment, the door to the lounge suddenly exploded, shocking the two presidents!
Amidst the flying dust, a black-haired woman was standing quietly outside the door. Behind her was a tall man whose body was like a stone. His chest could only be barely seen through the door frame. His overall height should be more than Three meters.
As they appeared, waves of terrifying coercion were released one after another from the squinting man, the black-haired woman and the stone man, making the two presidents turn pale with fear!
"We, the Stars Chamber of Commerce, have suffered a heavy blow... I originally thought I could only leave with my tail between my legs in despair, but now God has finally given me a chance to turn around..." Yan Chang picked up the tea cup and spoke calmly,
"Anyone who blocks my business will die."
…
Wisteria Cafe.
Ji Guangjun coughed for a long time and finally relaxed a little. He picked up a frozen rag beside the table and wiped the blood stains on his hands, looking extremely tired.
"Are you okay?" Chen Ling couldn't help but ask.
Ji Guangjun didn't answer. He just silently threw the rag into the trash can and returned his attention to the coffee being brewed. It seemed that this was the only thing he cared about now.
Occasionally, there was noisy and noisy fighting outside the window, as if someone was crying or wailing. Chen Ling turned her head and looked around. She couldn't see what was happening outside at all on the frost-covered glass. She only knew that they seemed to be there. Fight for something.
Inside the cafe, it was still quiet, with only the sound of Ji Guangjun brewing coffee and the whistling of the cold wind flowing through the cracks in the door.
"Would you like more or less milk?"
"...a little less."
After a while, Ji Guangjun took two cups of coffee and sat down by the window.
Chen Ling sat opposite him and took a cup of latte from Ji Guangjun. The rich aroma of coffee penetrated his nose. At this moment, he seemed to have dreamed back to before the catastrophe and was sitting in a cafe among high-rise buildings again. Inside, looking at the pedestrians and vehicles passing by outside, I felt a moment of peace and tranquility in my heart.
Mr. Jiguang took a sip of the coffee in his cup, and his pale face finally regained some vitality. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, as if he was missing something just like Chen Ling.
"Although I feel like it hasn't been long...but when I drink this coffee, I really feel like I haven't seen it for a long time across time and space."
"Three hundred years of sleep, isn't it long enough?"
"To people outside, it is indeed a long time, but to me, it is just a long sleep." Mr. Jiguang picked up the coffee and was about to take a second sip, but found that the coffee in the cup had been frozen. The ice cubes are completely stuck to the cup body.
There was bitterness in Ji Guangjun's eyes. He put down the coffee cup helplessly and reluctantly, looked at the frost-covered glass, and spoke softly,
"Who knew that the world would look like this when I woke up...and I am almost dying of old age."
Chen Ling looked at Ji Guangjun's dazed face. He was still less than thirty years old. For a doctor, he was definitely young and handsome. But it was such a person who was silently sleeping in his sleep. I missed the rest of my life.
When I woke up, the world had been turned upside down and my life had come to an end.
"Are you married?"
"No." Ji Guangjun paused for a moment, "But I have a fiancée who is a colleague of our unit. We were already planning a wedding, but..."
Ji Guangjun didn't say any more, and Chen Ling had already roughly guessed what happened, so she didn't ask any further questions.
"So, even if you have been promoted to the ninth level, you can't extend your life?"
"Extended life?" Lord Jiguang shook his head, "Humans are human beings, and their lifespan is limited. Even dormancy does not extend our lifespan. It only slows down the speed of my aging... But I will still do it. One day I will die of old age.”
"But the people at Aurora Base have spent more than three hundred years trying to renew your life."
"...Perhaps." Mr. Aurora's expression was a little complicated. "In fact, the mission of the Aurora Base is much more than that... extending my life is just one of their attempts to continue the continuation of mankind. Apart from that, , they also have many attempts,
For example, the artificial aurora field; for example...creating another Aurora King. They will extract my genes, conduct artificial insemination, and try to clone an Aurora in this form... Or, they will inject part of my cell tissue into organs found elsewhere, try to copy part of my power, etc... ...In short, they tried every way they could think of. "
"Did they do this with your consent?"
Ji Guangjun took a deep look at Chen Ling and said, "These plans were jointly proposed by me and them before falling asleep..."
“…But they still failed.”
"That's right." Ji Guangjun sighed, "Maybe it can't be said to be a complete failure. In the process, they also gained a little bit, but it has no effect on the overall situation... They can't analyze why I have this power, and they can't copy it perfectly. An Aurora Lord who can expand his domain and protect the entire Aurora Realm... Similarly, they can't extend my life.
But I can't blame them. Before I fell asleep, someone had already tried this... Even with the technological level before the catastrophe, we couldn't do it all. The hibernation plan was our helpless choice at that time.
We can only pray that time will bring us miracles, but as time goes by, the level of scientific research continues to decline, and the experiments will only become more and more difficult. In the end... we still get nothing. "
Ji Guangjun slowly put down the coffee. The frozen coffee cup fell on the table, making a muffled sound, and the air suddenly fell into silence.
He looked at the hazy glass window and suddenly smiled bitterly,
"So, where is the way out for mankind... exactly?"
