Getting a Technology System in Modern Day

Chapter 32 BANG!!

?Aron returned home after he demonstrated the GAIA OS prompting Sarah to change her phone's OS immediately as she liked all of its capabilities.

They agreed to release it as soon as they could and since the OS(That is acting as an app) was still in the approval process they had time to prepare for the marketing of it.

This time they decided to focus on marketing using influencers in all walks of life, since the OS was something every phone or computer owner has and sponsoring different genres influencers will lead to a larger audience receiving the news of the release of the OS.

After he parked his car and entered the house he found it empty as usual as his brother was in school. So, he went to his workroom to start his project of creating the Artificial General Intelligence(AGI) that will act as his assistant for the future.

But just as he entered and closed the door of the room, he felt a cold barrel of something touching the back of his head.

He thought his brother was playing a prank on him but just as he was about to turn and end the prank "Don't think about turning!!" A deep voice said breaking all his excitement and making fear be the only thing he felt.

"What do you want?" Aron asked, trying to keep his voice steady as his heart wasn't at all.

"I want something from you," the man said, his tone cold and threatening. "And I want it now."

Aron was taken aback. He had never been in a situation like this before, and he didn't know what to do.

"Industrial espionage? Who sent you here?" He asked, still trying to hide his fear.

But the man wasn't interested in Aron's questions. He hit him with the back of a gun on Aron's head making him start bleeding a little.

"Give me the source code BugZapper, or I'll shoot you," he said, his voice low and dangerous.

Aron felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that this was serious. He had never been threatened like this before, and his head was bleeding.

The man took a step closer to Aron, the gun still trained on his head. Aron could feel his heart pounding in his chest as he tried to think of a way out of this situation.

He decided to give it to him, as it is not as important as his life.

"It is on my computer" He said as he pointed at his work machine, implying that he will have to go there to be able to give it to him.

"Move slowly" He said as he pushed him toward it while making sure to keep his distance so that he could shoot him if he tried something funny.

"Okay" Aron moved slowly to prevent himself from getting killed.

Although he seemed calm he was nearly shitting on himself inside.

He moved to his workstation and opened it and went to the folder that held the first version of BugZapper that was written with existing programing language C++,C# and many more.

"Where should I copy it?" he asked.

"Here" the man threw a small bag at him.

Aron took the bag, opened it and removed the hard drive. He connected it to the computer and copied the program to the hard drive. Since the program was large it took more than 10 minutes to be moved completely.

"It is done" He said as he removed the hard disk and extended his hand backward so that he doesn't see his face to avoid getting killed.

"You know if it is not the program I will kill you and your family right?" The man asked in a threatening tone.

When Aron heard about his family from the man's mouth he stood up out of reflex but before he could even turn fully around, he felt an intense pain on the side of his stomach "Bang" is what he heard with the pain.

Aron stumbled forward and grabbed onto his desk for support. He felt a warm liquid oozing down his side and knew that he had been shot. He couldn't believe what had just happened.

"Why? I gave you what you wanted" Aron asked in pain as he covered his bleeding stomach and fought to stay awake.

"I said don't make any move" The man said in a cold voice as he picked the hard drive that fell to the ground from Aron's hands.

"Now you just caused me more problems" The man said, in his voice annoyance could be felt. There was no guilt or anything, to him this felt like he was used to it.

Aron's mind raced as he struggled to stay conscious and avoid getting killed. but all of that was for naught as he saw the man raising his gun pointing it to his head.

The stranger walked around to the front of Aron and looked down at him with cold, emotionless eyes. Aron could see the gun in the man's hand and could see that he was about to be shot again even while he struggled to keep his consciousness.

"I'm sorry," Aron thought of his parents and brother, his eyes closing as he fainted without waiting for the next shot.

.....

Outside of the operation room, Aron's mother could be seen passing back and forth fearing for the life of his son, His father could be seen sitting on the waiting chair trying to act calm not to freak out his wife more than she is.

When he remembered how they found their son bleeding to the point of covering the entire room with blood.

???d? n??a| ?om They almost collapsed thinking that he died from the amount of blood.

His father was the first one to come to himself to call an ambulance while trying to calm his wife.

When the ambulance arrived which came much faster due to them living in a luxury location that had a hospital near them.

They were surprised that he was still alive, based on the amount of blood on the ground he should have bled out an hour ago but the heart was still beating and his breathing was still stable.

So they carried him to the hospital rather than being amazed as he might die if they stared at him more.

While on the way they pumped him with as much blood as they could, to try and fill his body with blood again and avoid him flatlining.

In the ambulance other than the machine beeping, Aron's mother's cry could be heard as she was afraid that her son was going to die.

When they arrived at the hospital they immediately moved Aron to the operating room without wasting any time as they had been informed about his situation while they were on their way.

Leading to them sitting on the bench near the Operating room waiting for their son to leave the operating room.

Henry was with his parents, although he was nervous since he didn't know what dying was with too much details. He became the most calm one as he could be seen playing with other kids in the hospital in the children's wards after he was sent there by the nurses after it was requested by his parents.

....

Beep beep beep beep.

The Operating room was quiet with people doing their job as seriously as they could be and the only voice that could be heard was coming from the ECG.

"Are you sure he nearly bled out?" Asked the surgeon as he was checking the organs to assess the damage to the body.

"The emergency workers reported that he was almost out of blood when they found him" replied the Surgical assistant, he was also skeptical about the report too.

"Then why are there no symptoms of showing as the result of heavy blood loss?" Asked the surgeon in return.

"Yeah I'm skeptical about it too" Replied the assistant surgeon while helping the head surgeon as he was encountering a problem separating some skin parts.

As for his skepticism about Aron's having bled out, this was because he wasn't showing any symptoms that should be shown by anyone with the same situation.

He should have been in Hypovolemic shock, since losing large amounts of blood leads to a drop in blood pressure and a decrease in the amount of oxygen that reaches the body's tissues.

There was also Organ failure. If the body does not receive enough oxygen-rich blood, vital organs such as the brain, heart, and kidneys may become damaged. This can lead to complications such as organ failure, stroke, or heart attack.

But nothing of this sort was happening with the body.

The patients organ were functioning as usual, the heart wasn't showing any signs of heart attack, neither was his immune system being compromised as it was working as expected without any problem.

What they didn't know was that something took the place of blood to supply the needed thing to the body from previous data to prevent him from dying.

This was the reason he was still alive when his parents came home from picking henry from school 4 hours later.
