Chapter 814 Between Chinese

When he just got into the car, Zhou Yu was still worried about the driver's reaction, but after seeing the situation in the driver's seat clearly, he instinctively wanted to open the car door and get out immediately.

Of course, the driver's seat is not a dog or a zombie, a middle-aged male driver sat on it.It's just that he's in the same situation as the old man, with a fixed expression on his face, sitting there like a puppet.His hands were completely off the steering wheel, and he was watching something on his phone instead.

Just when Zhou Yu didn't know whether to take the road and run away, Li Li got into the car through the door on the other side.She glanced at the driver's appearance, then sat back in her original position contentedly, and also took the mobile phone and began to type something.

"Li Li, are you sure he's okay to drive?"

"I assure you there are no traffic police or cameras here, this gentleman can behave like a wild horse on the prairie."

"We're being led by wild horses. If the horses run themselves into the cliff, we can't escape, can we?"

Li Li put down his phone and glanced at him with a smile.

"Maybe his job used to be to drive, but now his job is just to sit here and keep himself present. I think that's enough."

As soon as she finished speaking, the car started slowly. It first walked straight along the road for a while, and then turned left in a safe and steady manner.During this period, the driver still kept his hands off the steering wheel.

"...Since it is automatic driving, there is no need to put someone in the driver's seat as a decoration, right?"

"That's the essence of history," Lee said. "In the long run, most of us don't need to exist. We're unique, but we're worthless. You make a dollhouse, and to make it complete, You have to put one or two dolls in. But who to put in? As long as the basic conditions are acceptable, it doesn’t matter who you put in. Your purpose is just to fill the room. Special imagination, thinking that the house is specially prepared for oneself."

"Your statement seems to be trying to emphasize that life is meaningless. Didn't you say that the existence of the middle and lower classes is the cornerstone of society?"

"That's a judgment based on the overall sense, sir." Li Li immediately replied, "Every cell in your body is not irreplaceable, however, all the functional organs composed of it will be of great significance to you. Every cell in your body is not irreplaceable. The existence of cells constitutes the existence of man, which is the structure of our society."

"But one cannot escape death."

He didn't intend to sing against the other party, but he subconsciously blurted out this sentence.

There was a little depression in Li Li's smile."Technology keeps improving," she said quickly.

Zhou Yu shook his head.

"What we tackle is disease," he said.

The so-called natural death in medicine refers to non-violent death, which conceptually includes two types: "death of disease" and "death of old age".But the true sense of "aging and dying", the number of times it can happen to human beings can be said to be counted on one's fingers.

Aging, that is to say, the body has reached the "limit", the fundamental reason is that the number of divisions of the cells themselves is not infinite.As important organs, the brain and heart have basically lost their ability to divide due to the highly functional differentiation of their constituent cells, making these two important organs extremely vulnerable to failure.The upper limit of ordinary fibroblast division is about sixty times.In other words, the limit lifespan of human beings is about 150 years old.

No matter how the technology develops, what human science can fight so far is not the termination of cell division caused by the loss of telomere information, but the dangers encountered before reaching this limit, such as bacteria and viruses.

Even if some people's hearts and brains start to age ahead of time.In the end, it often manifests as "disease death" of organ failure, rather than "aging death" where the body is oxidized to the end.What medicine can do at present is to protect the time before the cells reach their limit.

This barrier must be breached if death is to be conquered forever.Regarding this matter, there is no lack of ideas. Cell groups that can divide infinitely and proliferate infinitely exist.

Losing the meaning of being a functional part, the "variant" that keeps driving and plundering other cells purely for self-replication can be independently cultivated in the laboratory for 60 years and still maintain a high degree of activity and division ability.Cells like this that abandon their original duties can achieve immortality at the cellular level as long as they have enough nutrients.

—That’s right, those are so-called cancer cells.

The immortality, which is perfect for the cell itself, also ruthlessly announces the tragic fate of its host.If there is a life whose whole body is composed of cancer cells, it must be an immortal monster whose shape cannot be described.

Therefore, in order not to collapse the whole, it must be ensured that its constituent elements are limited.The old must give way to the new.Breed, kill, breed, kill to maintain the dynamic balance of the cycle until the day when the entire environment inevitably comes to an end.That's what death means.

Although I don't know where these chaotic thoughts came from, they naturally emerged from the depths of Zhou Yu's mind.He didn't explain all this to Li Li, because the other party's demeanor proved that she was already familiar with it.

In silence, the taxi slowly stopped on the side of the road.The co-pilot's door opened automatically, and the old man turned his legs and walked out straight again.

The two people in the car followed immediately.When seeing the neighborhood in front of him, Zhou Yu let out an "ah" in surprise.

"This... is Yongning Community?"

The community located on the same street as the "Vanishing Alley" where the dead bodies are hidden, although the gate style is slightly different, but the overall pattern has not changed, even Zhou Yu, who has only been there a few times, can quickly recognize it.

Seeing this familiar place, Zhou Yu thought of Hongye and Cai Ji.Regardless of the red leaves, Cai Ji is already in danger.

Although Cai Ji, whom he saw in the conflict with Sang Lian, did not know how to become that image, since he fell into the hands of Mo Tian, ​​he must have no hope of surviving.The biggest possibility is that, like the monster transformed by Sang Lian, it will become the food of "wild cats".

When walking with the old man in the community, Zhou Yu asked, "Li Li, where have you installed surveillance?"

"Only in Migenzhu City, sir, it is redundant to place surveillance here."

"I'm not talking about here. I'm asking, how many cameras have you installed in Migenzhu City? Which streets are they mainly on?"

Li Li glanced at him.

"Every street in the city, sir. Including the sewers. Unfortunately, due to some unknown factors, my equipment will frequently fail. When you and the soil eaters have a conflict on the ground, my camera located on the street The signal transmission was immediately terminated. Because of this, I was forced to use manpower to rush to your location and observe the situation with a telescope."

In other words, she didn't know what happened to Cai Ji, or the creature that used to be Cai Ji.

"... You really look like a control freak. If you are discovered and exposed, you will be sent to prison directly, right? Also, if it is installed on every street, there will be a total of Hundreds? Thousands? Even with so many installed, you can’t see them all, right?”

"That's why I have a monitor of that size in the studio. And, yes, even then I don't have the time to regularly check every recording. I just number them by area and put the ones that I think are relatively important. The picture stays in front of the monitor. I'll spend hours sitting in front of it at midnight every day."
