“This… is this a dream?”

Madeleine looked at everything in disbelief. From the moment the other party opened the space door, to the appearance of the alien orcs in the outer space that seemed like something out of a novel.

The most unbelievable thing was that the other party was displaying the knowledge in the technology tree…

Biological and energy mutations, the decomposition of the genetic code. The answers that she could not find in the past were like elementary school lessons in this technology tree. It was like the basics, and above that… The huge knowledge chain made her feel both awe and excitement at the same time…

For people like them, new knowledge was far more delicious than any delicacy in the world, and the things in front of them were no different from the dragon liver and phoenix marrow that could only be eaten in the eyes of ordinary people in the immortal world… …

She wanted to slap herself or pinch herself countless times to see if this was a wonderful dream, but she was reluctant to do so, afraid that if she really slapped herself, the incomparably wonderful things in front of her would turn into ashes. After waking up, she would face the empty laboratory again…

“Is this old woman okay?”In the satellite base, the others were sitting at the side eating melon seeds. Wang Goudan said with a curious face, “She has been in a daze for the whole afternoon…”

“You are also a university student. Can’t you understand this kind of thirst for knowledge?”Bai Cai said disdainfully.

“I can’t understand!”Wang Goudan said righteously, “From the time I was in primary school until I was admitted to the teacher’s college, this Goudan has changed a lot, but my heart that doesn’t want to study has never changed! !” 1

Everyone:”…”

“Is this true?”

After an unknown period of time, everyone had played mahjong for more than a hundred rounds before Madeleine finally managed to pull herself out from the display of the technology tree. She silently rubbed her rumbling belly. Obviously, if it weren’t for the hunger, everyone would have played mahjong for dozens more rounds…

“Is it true that you really don’t have an answer?”Alice asked with a smile.

Madeleine was stunned for a moment, then she revealed the most delighted smile. “Yes…”

These things could not be made up. The equations of the various technologies inside were incomparably precise. As a top biologist, she could not find any flaws in them…

That was not right…

Madeleine smiled bitterly. After seeing this vast knowledge base, how could she still be called a top. She could only be considered as an apprentice who had just entered the school…

At the thought of this, her originally excited expression became even more bitter, and tears flowed out of her eyes uncontrollably.

Seeing the other party’s expression, the group of people were instantly stunned. Even Alice was a little curious, because the other party’s sorrow was very real… …

“Why Are You Sad?”Alice asked.

“You… Why didn’t you find me earlier?”Madeline sat on the ground weakly, like a little girl who had lost her favorite player, she almost burst into tears. “With so many things and so much knowledge, how could I have enough time?”

Everyone was stunned. Madeline was crying so sadly because she didn’t have enough time to absorb the knowledge!

For a moment, a strong feeling welled up in their hearts. Even the thickest-skinned Wang Goudan inexplicably quieted down…

Alice stared blankly at Madeline with a flash of realization in her eyes. To be honest, she sometimes envied these scientists who were dedicated to their research. It was as if they would never feel empty and bored in their entire lives… . Will always lament the lack of time. . .

In the realm of the dead, the only people who won’t be driven mad by the passage of time are the scientists of the past!

Sometimes suddenly feel, indeed persuade people to read more or is there a reason?

————–

After Madeleine was brought into the new territories, old Joseph stayed behind to deal with the aftermath. As a guy who was determined to say goodbye to the world, he naturally had to deal with the aftermath.

Little cabbage had told him that he could keep his body, but he did not miss it at all. What was there to miss? His family members had all died. was he going to miss his wife who cheated on him, or was he going to miss his son who had raised him for more than a decade before he realized that he was not his own son?

After leaving the research institute, he took a taxi and headed towards the city government. He had to explain some things clearly. At the very least, he could not let his departure cause too much trouble.

The only thing he still missed was this Houston that he had been fighting for for so many years… …

When Morey heard that old Joseph was heading in his direction, he was shocked at first. Then, he asked his secretary to cancel all of his plans for the afternoon.

He also wanted to know the reason why this old rival suddenly returned and gave up on the election. He was also curious as to why the other party was looking for him at this time… …

He did not wait for long. The traffic in Houston was good to begin with. Soon, he looked through the office window and saw the old man who he was afraid of walking in.

Along the way, many low-level employees greeted old Joseph respectfully when they saw him. From the sincerity on their faces, it was obvious that they respected the former mayor very much. At least, he had not felt this kind of respect during his three years in office…

Perhaps it was because he had reduced their year-end bonus?

“Long time no see, Mr. Joseph!”

When the two of them met, Morey used an extremely cliché opening line.

Old Joseph smiled gently and looked at the office with some emotion. The furnishings were completely different from when he was there. Clearly, the other party’s taste was completely different from his own…

Seeing the completely different office decoration, old Joseph suddenly felt that the last connection between this city and himself was a little less.

“Do you have time to chat?”Old Joseph asked gently.

“Of course!”Morey spread his hands. He still had to show enough respect to this senior. After all, he was almost pushed off the stage by the other party.

“I’m going to die…”after the two sat down, Old Joseph’s first words almost made Morey jump up again.

“What… What did you say?”Morey was stunned.

“I have a terminal illness and don’t have much time to live. I just received the notice…”Old Joseph said calmly.

So that was the case…

Morey suddenly came to a realization. All the contradictions that he couldn’t understand were instantly explained. An old man who was about to have a second career suddenly received a terminal illness notice. It was reasonable for him to go missing for two days to ease his mood and finally choose to withdraw from the election…

“I have a lawyer in my gang. His name is John. He’s a very good young man. He has a lot of credit for me being able to have such a great advantage in this election. I want to recommend him to you…”

Morey was stunned when he heard that. Then, he looked at the other party with a complicated expression. He believed that the other party was not lying. That young man named John should be very capable. Before he died, he recommended John to him, he probably did not want to let down that young man’s hard work.

If it were him, under the attack of this incurable disease, it would be considered good enough if he did not take revenge on society. Only a few people could still remember to return a favor before they died…

“Alright… I am lacking a position as an administrative secretary. If he is as outstanding as you say, my family will even consider supporting him to participate in the election later…”

It was a very empty promise. The position of administrative secretary did not have much political weight. As for the family supporting the election in the future, it was more like drawing a big cake…

Joseph nodded and said, “I hope that the fourth district can operate normally again…”

As soon as he said this, Morey frowned. No one liked an ex to point fingers at his current administrative style. Although the results of the past three years were indeed terrible, he still thought that he had made a mistake in his operation. It didn’t mean that he would agree with the other party’s political views…

“I’m only suggesting…”. Old Joseph smiled and said, “Houston’s foundation has always been the medical industry. Although many young people are passionate about finance and IT and look down on manufacturing, some things will never be outdated in this world “…”

“I’ll consider it…”Morey nodded perfunctorily.

Old Joseph smiled and did not continue to insist. He was only here to fight for John and this city that had worked hard before. As for whether he could succeed or not, it was not up to him to decide. He could also see that.., after the other party found out that he had a terminal illness, he did not see himself as a threat at all. If he was a person who was about to die, he naturally did not have much weight.

“Alright, that’s all I have to say. I’ll bid farewell to Mayor Morey…”Old Joseph stood up with a smile.

Morey was stunned for a moment. He thought that the other party would argue with him a little longer, but he did not expect that the other party would just say a few words and leave. Did he really take his perfunctory words seriously?

“What do you plan to do in Your Last Days?”Morey asked curiously.

Old Joseph, who had walked to the door, smiled when he heard that. “Apply for euthanasia, die early and be reborn early…”

Morey:”…”

Was it an illusion?

A hint of doubt rose in Morey’s heart. He didn’t know why, but he always felt that there was a confidence in the eyes of this terminally ill old man that he couldn’t see through. Moreover, he had a feeling that the old man would stand in a high position that he needed to look up to in the near future, will stand in a need to look up to the high position!

But then immediately shook his head to the mind of this absurd idea out of the mind, thought funny, why would I have this feeling about a dying old man?

———— —

Meanwhile, Joseph walked out of the mayor’s office with ease. Although it did not achieve the desired effect, he was not in a hurry because he knew that the current political situation in the world was only temporary, when that alien civilization developed, this power would be exposed to the world sooner or later. At that time, the entire world would undergo earth-shattering changes, and all the powers would face a reshuffle!

At that time, Houston would become meaningless. He could build a city or even a country that was many times more beautiful than Houston. He believed that by that time, no one would choose to stay with Morey… …

And this day, he believed, would not be too far away… …
