After leaving school, Ding Huan immediately increased his speed and turned onto a road he had rarely taken before, and he remembered an important matter.
In the previous life, it was also today. He was very disappointed because he couldn't stay at Helaoshangwu University as a mentor. Even when he was kicked out of the leadership position of Baizhu Group by Ding Jie, he had never felt such disappointment. So he drank some wine at a small restaurant near the school.
Just as he finished drinking and stepped out of the small restaurant, he was hit by a car, and soon afterward, someone shouted, "Hurry up and take him to the hospital."
However, when he woke up, he wasn't in a hospital, but by a garbage dump.
His legs were broken, which was not the worst. The worst was that his eyes were gouged out.
If it weren't for the old man who picked up trash, he should have had no future from that day on.
On a planet with gene mutations and rampant beast, it's not that a minor student died or even a whole town was killed by beasts that only appear in the evening news for a few minutes.
After the old man picked him up, he didn't know where he was taken.
He remembered the old man just saying one thing, "This kid is a rare heterogeneous affinity type, with an absolute affinity of eighty percent or more. If you take him, it's worth one thousand league coins."
At that time, Ding Huan couldn't speak, but he heard the old man's words clearly. He understood that he was not a rare heterogeneous affinity type.
The so-called heterogeneous affinity type is not only capable of fusing most gene drugs, but also, when fusing some incorrect gene drugs, it only appears to be incompatible for a short time. The probability of death is much lower than that of ordinary people when they fuse genes. In other words, it's suitable to be used as a test drug machine.
This is very valuable. Now, with the proliferation of gene drugs, there are not many excellent ones. Whenever a new gene drug is developed by various gene research institutions, someone must be used as a test subject.
Every introduction of a valuable gene drug liquid is a real money-making machine.
The test of gene drugs is the best for heterogeneous affinity type. Heterogeneous affinity type can quickly reflect the problems of gene drugs, helping researchers to correct gene drugs in the shortest time, thus shortening the development time of qualified gene drugs.
A thousand league coins to buy a real gene affinity type is like dreaming. So even though he had his legs broken and his eyes taken, he was immediately taken away by someone from the old man's hands.
Suddenly, Ding Huan thought of the old man, the man who picked up trash was definitely not simple. He knew later that he really was a heterogeneous affinity type.
A taxi came from a distance, and Ding Huan waved it down.
No matter who wants to kill him, and no matter who that old man is, he must leave here immediately.
"Where to?" the driver asked.
"Qianjiang Gate," Ding Huan said.
It took twenty minutes from the point where he got in to Qianjiang Gate restaurant. As the taxi approached Qianjiang Gate, Ding Huan suddenly said, "Stop here, teacher. I'll walk the rest of the way; I need to buy some things first."
Ding Huan had to be more cautious since his life was at stake.
After getting out of the taxi, Ding Huan quickly entered a street with a fair number of people. An hour and a half later, Ding Huan arrived at Yujiang University.
...
"Do you want to report?" A middle-aged woman in the Human Resources department of Yujiang University stared at Ding Huan blankly, not understanding where this guy from which planet was.
Yujiang University is now barely able to pay salaries, it's truly on the verge of collapse, and there's actually someone coming to report?
Ding Huan placed his identity information and allocation document in front of the middle-aged woman, smiling and saying, "Sister, look at my allocation document; can I report now?"
The middle-aged woman subconsciously touched her own face. "Sister? This sunny and handsome guy calling her sister makes her very useful."
She glanced at the documents Ding Huan took out and said, "Now, do we still need an allocation document to enter Yujiang University? With your graduate certificate from Helaoshangwu University, you're guaranteed to become a mentor."
But, young man, let me be clear with you. The school's funds are currently tight, and you won't be receiving a salary for the time being.
Even if it's not Ding Huan, she herself is currently without a salary. Teachers and staff who can stay at Yujiang University are either because of the sentiment or because they have nowhere else to go.
Most people are waiting for the day when Yujiang University merges with another university, and then naturally become faculty members of the other university.
"Is there a place to stay?" Ding Huan knew that there wouldn't be any salary to be had here.
"There are many places to stay, and you can eat in the cafeteria, but it's not free," the woman said, holding out the employment form to Ding Huan.
The registration went very smoothly. Even though Yujiang University was quite popular, it was impossible for someone to leave school one day and sign up the next day.
Because there were many empty houses at Yujiang University, Ding Huan could even live in a rowhouse compound. Of course, there were a dozen or more such houses in a row.
Although Yujiang University is at the bottom of the rankings in terms of disciplines and area, it can still rank in the top ten in China.
This is because Yujiang University is located in the suburbs of Heleshang City, not far from Qiannuo Mountain. As long as Yujiang University is willing, it can expand towards Qiannuo Mountain at will.
Yujiang University has done just that. When the financial budget was still within reach, it would expand towards Qiannuo Mountain by a large area every few years. Large rowhouses and independent courtyard houses were built to attract talent from all walks of life.
Unfortunately, due to the environmental changes on Earth, various plant and animal genes mutated, and ferocious beasts roamed everywhere. This sudden collapse of Yujiang University's prospects.
All over the world, countless villages were slaughtered by the ferocious beasts, and humans began to gather. No matter the size of the city, it had to establish a defense wall as long as it existed.
The defense walls of smaller cities may be true walls, such as the city wall of Helaoshang City. For medium-sized cities like River Luo, laser net walls and cutting beam walls are built as defenses.
Yujiang University became the edge of the city. Although it was protected by a defense wall, if a ferocious beast tide broke out, it would inevitably be the first to suffer. With Yujiang University's poor management, the talents that were so hard to attract left one by one, resulting in many vacant houses.
...
Only after the middle-aged woman who brought Ding Huan to the small courtyard left did Ding Huan finally take a good look at his little courtyard. The courtyard was indeed small, with an area of no more than twenty square meters.
Once inside the house, it was a one-room, one-living room, one-kitchen and one-bathroom structure. There were beds and blankets, and there were pots, pans, and utensils used by others in the kitchen. This was enough for Ding Huan.
Sitting on the bed, Ding Huan finally let out a sigh of relief. At least for today, he wouldn't suffer the same tragedy as in his previous life, with his legs broken and eyes gouged out. The tense nerves finally relaxed.
Once his nerves relaxed, Ding Huan couldn't help but think about who wanted to eliminate him in his previous life.
Initially, Ding Huan thought it was Ding Jie. After several repetitions of thinking, he felt that Ding Jie had no reason to kill him.
Ding Jie was adopted by his father. After his father went missing, Ding Jie had ostensibly taken over the Baoyu Group through legal means, so it seemed that killing or not killing him didn't matter much.
Rather, who that old man from the trash heap was. In this era, to expect a stranger to rescue a person he doesn't know in the garbage dump is a dream. Of course, that old man wasn't actually rescuing him; instead, he was selling him to an unknown organization.
What was the organization that bought him from the old man who picked up trash? Why was he in one of the subdivisions of the Genetic Alliance when he woke up? Did that organization buy him and then turn around and sell him to the Genetic Alliance? And how did that old man know he was a heterogeneous affinity type?
A series of questions that had been bothering him for a long time were swirling in his mind, making Ding Huan's thoughts temporarily chaotic.
He won't thank the Genetic Alliance for saving him because of heterogeneous affinity type. After being rescued, he was in danger of dying a more miserable death at any time.
In his previous life, Ding Huan had seen too many gruesome endings of test subjects who failed in gene fusion at the Genetic Alliance. They died miserably, their bodies exploded, their heads burst open, and their bodies decayed...
For a genetic test subject, dying peacefully might be the best outcome.
Ding Huan's thoughts suddenly stopped here, and his thoughts stopped in the voice that would never be forgotten in his mind...
"After I die, please donate my eyes to him. He is still so young, let him see the beauty of the world with my eyes..."
Ding Huan unconsciously clenched his fists. He didn't know her name, her background, or what she looked like, but the voice that contained despair yet held a glimmer of hope was forever etched in his memory.
That was six months after he was sent to the Genetic Alliance. He had undergone a leg amputation and had recovered quite well by then.
At this time, he was still lying in the laboratory of the Genetic Alliance. Even though his leg had not completely recovered, even though he had no eyes, he was still fused with a gene reagent every other time.
Although Ding Huan's body had not shown any problems after multiple gene fusion experiments, his inner world was already dead. During this period, almost every day someone died tragically due to the failure of gene fusion, and perhaps the next one to die would be him, Ding Huan.
After several months, one day Ding Huan heard a few people walking into the laboratory.
This kind of thing was common for Ding Huan. Besides his hard life, almost everyone who went through gene fusion experiments here didn't last more than a month. When someone came over, it meant that a new person had come to fuse genes.
Among those who came in seemed to be a woman, who, upon seeing him, her tone was almost sobbing, "Why are you so cruel? Not only did you break his legs, but you also gouged out his eyes. He's still so young..."
No one answered her question, and she had not even thought about the fact that she was also a tragic figure whose fate was to be sacrificed in this laboratory. Although she herself was already miserable, she couldn't stand the misery of others.
Perhaps she had reflected on her own tragic fate and found an echo in Ding Huan's situation.
Ding Huan's numb heart was first touched by someone. Until then, he only knew classmates and friends who were all attracted to his family background.
Besides his unknown mother, the only person in the world who truly cared about him was his father, Ding Baishan. Today he finally knew that there was a stranger in the world who shed tears for him.
Ding Huan only hoped that the girl who came to do the gene experiment with him, like him, could be lucky enough to survive.
Unfortunately, fate did not favor her. Like many gene fusion failure cases, she failed in the first gene fusion attempt.
Ding Huan couldn't figure out what kind of gene she was fusing with, but he could clearly feel her despair and pain before she died.
That's how it was. She still trembled as she said, "After I die, please donate my eyes to him. He is still so young, let him see the beauty of the world with my eyes..."
Everyone knew that he was the one she was talking about. Ding Huan had never seen her face, but just by listening to her voice, he could tell that she was also young.
Ding Huan's empty eyes were slightly misty. In this world, was there another stranger who would give him eyes?
From that moment on, that voice was forever etched into Ding Huan's soul. It was the most precious voice in his life.
From that moment on, Ding Huan decided to live on not only for himself but also for the girl he had never met and didn't know her name. He wanted to live on, carrying her eyes to search for the beauty she mentioned in this ugly world.
