Chapter 1,107 Shackles

This is both your right and your obligation...

Jiang Chen's last words touched Wu Changfeng's heart inexplicably.

Yes, this is my power, why should I give it to you?

I am the one who sheds my blood for the earth, and I am the one who devotes my whole life to all mankind. What virtues and abilities do you have? Do you have the qualifications to let me dedicate my "life"?

No longer hesitating, putting aside all thoughts of "dedicating himself to the organization", Wu Changfeng rolled up his sleeves and pointed the needle at his own vein. Putting aside all distracting thoughts, his heart skipped a beat, and he pushed down the needle with his eyes closed.

As the serum was injected into his body, the restless heartbeat in his chest gradually calmed down.

Leaning on the sofa, he quietly waited for the medicine to take effect.

The second hand on the wall ticked by, and the expected pain did not occur. Wu Changfeng couldn't help but frowned and looked at the place where the needle was inserted.

"Is there no clinical response?"

Just as he was talking to himself, a burning pain suddenly spread from his arm.

Cold sweat flowed down from his forehead.

As expected of a military background, Wu Changfeng turned pale and gritted his teeth, but endured it without saying a word.

The boiling blood spread along his veins, flowing freely in his veins, and the pain spread throughout his body.

"Is this the price of immortality? Haha, it's a bit too light," Wu Changfeng gasped, biting his leaky teeth, and slowly lay down on the sofa.

The pain begins to spread outward from the blood vessels, deep into the internal organs, and outward to the skin and hair.

Suddenly, all the pain disappeared in an instant.

"Is it over...?"

After chanting these words slowly, Wu Changfeng closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Without even knowing it, he had made his choice.

The choice of whom to be loyal to.

in drowsiness,

He had a dream.

He dreamed that he was watching his wife, son, and grandson grow old, and watching them lie in the grave, but he was always so young. At the end of the dream, he saw a ball of fire. The flames engulfed the earth, engulfed all the cities, engulfed the battleships of the Earth Fleet, and engulfed everything...

Waking up from his nightmare, Wu Changfeng jumped up from the sofa.

Realizing that everything was just a dream, my racing heart gradually calmed down.

"Is it already noon?"

The guard complied with last night's order and did not wake him up.

Breathing heavily and looking away from the clock on the wall, Wu Changfeng covered his forehead and sat upright on the edge of the sofa. It was only now that he realized that his whole body was soaked with sweat, and the cold feeling was gradually seeping from his clothes.

Taking off his clothes, he walked to the bathroom, ready to take a shower.

However, when passing by the mirror, he suddenly froze.

Not sure if it was an illusion, but he unexpectedly discovered that he seemed to be at least five years younger than yesterday...

…

"Everyone got the shot."

"Very well, continue to keep an eye on them before they leave Halo City."

"yes."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Chen leaned on his chair and looked at the blue planet outside the floor-to-ceiling window, his anxious heart gradually relieved.

As expected, everyone ultimately chose to use the 20ml serum on themselves instead of taking it back and dedicating it to the country.

Jiang Chen knew from the beginning that once such a thing appeared on the market, not to mention the trouble it would bring to the Star Ring trade, its existence itself would have an unimaginable impact on the existing social order.

Although he didn't say it explicitly, he would never allow them to bring it to the surface, let alone dedicate it to some "big shot" for some superficial reason.

To give a very simple example, civilians must not be able to afford this life-extending medicine. Once it appears on the market, the life span of the rich and powerful will be much longer than that of ordinary people, and social wealth will become more and more concentrated. Before long, the world's wealth may be concentrated at 0.1% or even more. In the hands of few people.

By then, civilization had pretty much come to an end.

However, everything has two sides.

As long as it is done properly, the positive effects brought by the "life-extending serum" can far outweigh its negative effects.

For example, it is used to win people's hearts.

The twenty members of the Earth Defense Alliance are considered the elite of the elite in their respective countries. Jiang Chen is not naive enough to think that he can easily win over them with money or status and make them abandon the concept of country and move their butts. Come to the Earth Defense Alliance and serve him wholeheartedly.

But everyone will always have weaknesses.

The more successful and powerful people are, the more they fear death, because once they die, they will lose much more than ordinary people.

Using lifespan to win over them is the best option.

As early as when NAC's sphere of influence first expanded to Hongcheng, Jiang Chen learned the secret of eternal life and the 100ml serum from Dr. Sun. From this 100ml of serum, Lin Ling extracted the anti-aging fragments in the DNA and the anti-aging substances dissolved in the serum, and conducted more in-depth research.

Although immortality is not yet possible, it is still very easy to extend the life span of dozens to hundreds of years without any side effects without overwriting the original hidden genetic code. Now Lin Ling has two thousand more sisters, and her scientific research capabilities have been strengthened more than a little bit. Maybe in a few years, she may develop a true immortality potion.

But for those committee members, a defective product is enough, and there is no need for immortality or anything like that.

While it would be good for the Earth Defense League for them to live longer, staying alive forever would be a problem. In the future, the Earth Defense Alliance will become more and more powerful under the pressure of external factors, and may even replace all secular countries and evolve into the Earth Federation.

At that time, if a group of old people occupy committee seats, it will lead to the rigidity of thinking at the top of the organization.

We have to give young people something to look forward to.

Only he, the executive, is immortal.

And, of course, his closest relatives.

Pointing his finger on the touch pad on the desktop, Jiang Chen called up the holographic screen. He raised his hand and gestured at the holographic screen a few times, calling up yesterday's meeting minutes. Selecting the abstract, his eyes scanned over the lines of text.

"Trench plan, starship plan... although it only sounds like eight words, it's really not the least bit difficult."

Shaking his head, Jiang Chen leaned on the boss's chair with a headache.

Whether it is building a planetary fortress or a space fleet, the amount of steel and production capacity required is astronomical. The current Mars colony is like a seed that has just been planted. If you want it to grow into a towering tree, you don't know how long it will take.

"It seems we have to speed up."

Sighing, Jiang Chen turned off the meeting summary, reached out and clicked a few times on the holographic screen, connecting to the database of the Mars Colonization Plan Project Department.

Just when he was about to inspect the development of the colony, a report uploaded ten minutes ago that had not yet been reviewed caught his attention... (To be continued.) Launch a new website
