Chapter 186 The Disliked Female Supporting Character (78) - Jiang Chen's Opportunity
Jiang Chen lived in his own world, a world filled with darkness and desolation.
The elderly couple had very little money left after spending money on medicine to remove his scars and taking care of his daily life.
Jiang Chen saw all of this. Sometimes he thought that he should also face his own life, because immersing himself in pain and sorrow would not help.
When he finally mustered the courage to step outside, the various stares and stares he received were unbearable.
Jiang Chen always felt that people were talking about him behind his back. He couldn't accept this situation, so he retreated back into his shell.
If he hadn't seen his parents grow old from all the hard work they had done for him, he probably would have chosen to end his own life long ago.
No, he can't. He's his parents' only child, and he's their pillar of support. If he's gone, they definitely won't be able to bear it and will follow him.
Jiang Chen couldn't sleep at night for countless nights, staring out the window until dawn. The days repeated themselves like this until the brigade leader, Gao Yong, came to see him.
Jiang's mother pleaded outside the door, "Chenchen, your brigade leader has finally come all this way, please come out and see him, I'm begging you!"
At first, Jiang Chen didn't want to open the door no matter what, but he only opened it when the captain threatened to kick it down.
The family is already struggling financially; if the door breaks, we'll have to spend money to replace it.
Gao Yong entered Jiang Chen's room. The curtains were all drawn in broad daylight, and the lights were off. Only a sliver of light shone in, and he could see a person sitting in the corner.
When Jiang Chen joined the team, Gao Yong appreciated him quite a bit. He had a high level of education, good qualities, and excellent physical condition. Given time, it wouldn't be impossible for him to take another step forward.
But fate played a cruel trick on him, and Gao Yong also felt sorry for him.
Gao Yong's college classmate had some influence in the medical system. During one of their meetings, the classmate inadvertently revealed that a new medical pod was very effective for many difficult and complicated diseases, and that it was extremely difficult to get a spot.
Gao Yong thought of Jiang Chen, his father's comrade-in-arms, who was a minor leader in the capital. It was through Jiang Chen's connections that the quota was obtained, and he had to let him try it no matter what.
"Jiang Chen, I've secured a new medical pod for you. It might have a chance to heal your scars. Come with me and give it a try!" Gao Yong's voice was encouraging.
"Captain Gao, I...I'm not going!" Jiang Chen's voice was low and hoarse after not communicating with anyone for a long time.
Jiang's mother had been standing at the door of the room the whole time. When she heard Gao Yong mention the chance of a cure, she was so happy that she wanted to clap her hands. But when she heard Jiang Chen's refusal, she nervously clenched her hands.
She ran to Jiang Chen and knelt down, her voice choked with sobs, "Chenchen, I'm begging you, please try it. If it doesn't work, I won't force you anymore!"
Through the light, Jiang Chen saw that his mother's hair was completely white, she was very thin, and her face was covered with wrinkles. His mother used to be praised for looking like she was 40 years old, but now she looked at least 70.
He stretched out his intact yet scarred hand and wiped away Jiang's mother's tears. "Okay!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang's mother immediately hugged him and burst into tears. She didn't know if Jiang Chen's treatment would be effective.
It's better for him to go out than to stay cooped up at home all the time.
Gao Yong was happy to see that he had agreed, so he turned on the light to help him pack his luggage and found a mask and hat.
In less than five minutes, Jiang Chen, fully armed, packed his luggage and left with Gao Yong.
Although Jiang Chen was still a little unaccustomed to having many people around, with Gao Yong there, he felt that he was no different from before.
The day after Gao Yong and Jiang Chen arrived in the capital, the Capital Research Institute had already made all the necessary preparations.
Duan Zhiqiang, the director of the Capital Research Institute, is a physics expert.
When the medical pod was brought in, despite the video evidence, he remained skeptical about the alien image and the effectiveness of the medical pod.
They also needed more data to confirm this. When Jiang Chen's application materials were submitted, Duan Zhiqiang and several college leaders discussed it and agreed that Jiang Chen would be the first to be tested.
The medical pod is located in the largest laboratory in the research institute. It is not only large, but also the laboratory with the best security in the entire institute. It not only has the most advanced security system, but also has four security guards on duty 24 hours a day.
When Jiang Chen walked in, the room had already been cleared out, leaving only Dean Duan Zhiqiang and his assistant.
The medical pod has been activated, and the medical fluids are ready. All Jiang Chen needs to do is lie down inside.
Jiang Chen still felt pressured about being naked, but he gritted his teeth and decided that as long as he wasn't embarrassed, it was others who would be.
He quickly took off his clothes, stepped onto the stool, and went inside.
Jiang Chen lay down and plunged the medical fluid over his head, expecting to have difficulty breathing.
Once he was fully lying down, his breathing was not affected at all.
As he grew sleepy, he gradually fell asleep.
Duan Zhiqiang saw the medical cabin door close and knew that Jiang Chen was already receiving treatment.
He leaned closer to the hatch to see how the treatment was being performed inside, but as soon as he put his head near the hatch, it closed and became a blur, making it impossible to see what was happening inside.
At that moment, a female voice announced, "The medical pod is in operation. Due to the extraordinary nature of what is about to unfold, it is not convenient to watch!"
Duan Zhiqiang was startled by the voice and stood aside in surprise, "You... how can you still talk?"
The female voice became somewhat smug, "I'm an intelligent robot in the medical pod, and I know a lot more than that, but it's not convenient for me to tell you!"
Now Duan Zhiqiang got excited and started asking questions of the medical pod, such as:
What's the underlying principle behind your setup?
What kind of metal is used in your medical pod?
What are the materials of this medical solution?
"Are you really a product of the interstellar world?"
Will the hands inside really grow back?
The medical pod grew impatient with his questions and simply replied, "I don't know the answers to these questions. I'm logging off!"
No matter how Duan Zhiqiang asked, the medical ward ignored him.
He couldn't see anything, and no one answered his questions, so Duan Zhiqiang had no choice but to wait patiently.
The door opened automatically only after the medical pod announced, "Treatment complete, please exit!"
Duan Zhiqiang strode to the medical pod, where the medical fluid had receded, leaving only Jiang Chen still asleep.
Jiang Chen's left arm has grown back. The newly grown arm, apart from the difference in skin color from the upper part, is the same in shape and size.
Jiang Chen's scars have disappeared, and apart from the different skin color, there is no indication that he had been burned before.
Duan Zhiqiang used a long test tube to wake Jiang Chen up. Jiang Chen seemed to be half asleep. He looked around, as if he remembered something, and then jumped out of the medical pod.
After Jiang Chen quickly dressed, he realized that he had just used his left hand. He stared at his left side and saw that a hand had indeed grown out.
My right hand, which used to be covered in scars, has become smooth and even.
With the reflection of the glass in the window, you could vaguely see that the scars on his face had disappeared.
Jiang Chengcai was absolutely certain that he was cured; not only had his hand grown back, but even the scars had disappeared.
