Chapter 516 She is a researcher

Ma Weiwei's eyelashes trembled as she turned her head away. "I take back what I said before. I said you were unruly and didn't look like a proper soldier at all. But I forgot that true faith is engraved in the heart and never needs to be proven with superficial actions."

"Ma Weiwei, you've finally figured it out," Mu Yang joked from the side. "How about you throw away your goldfish bowl when you get back?"

"..." Ma Weiwei glanced sideways.

"Alright, I'm going back to the training building to pack my things." Qin Yuan stretched and turned to leave. "I'll go into the medical building with Miss Wen Ni to assist her and protect her safety!"

"Qin Yuan, you don't need to go." Wen Ni frowned.

"If you're not afraid of getting infected, why should I be?" Qin Yuan waved his hand. "I promised Master Lu I would protect you, and I can't go back on my word!"

Watching his retreating figure, Wen Ni pursed her lips.

"Master Lu? Is he Wen Ni's boyfriend?" Ma Weiwei and Mu Yang had a vague guess.

Wen Ni didn't answer their questions. She looked away and continued to instruct them, "For the next period of time, I will be staying in the medical building. You must take precautions in your dorms and avoid going out unless absolutely necessary. I don't want to... see you in the medical building!"

"Don't worry, we'll be careful."

It was foreseeable that they would have a tough battle ahead.

From that afternoon until evening, vehicles kept delivering medical equipment, various medical reagents, and large, medium, and small testing instruments to the medical building!

"This room is fully equipped and has been completely sterilized, making it a near-perfect small medical laboratory."

As the heavy frosted glass outer door closed, the figures of several medical staff could be vaguely seen. They stood in the corridor, wearing uniform blue and white protective suits, with face shields and masks covering their faces, fully armed and airtight.

"Who is this laboratory for?"

"I heard that a top medical expert was temporarily assigned by the higher-ups, and these things were prepared for her."

"A medical expert? With so many people in the city and so many days of no progress, how could this medical expert possibly be of any use? They've gone to such lengths to set up a lab specifically for him and invested so much equipment. If he ends up not figuring anything out, he'll probably lose face."

"Desperate times call for desperate measures. Maybe it'll work. I've heard this big shot was sent down from the military region!"

"I hope it really works. I also want to finish work as soon as possible and go home to see my child."

They were chatting away when they heard the nurse downstairs hurrying by, calling out, "Coming! Coming! The person is here!"

"Let's go, let's go greet them."

There are only a few patients left in the medical building now. Those who remain are mostly mild cases, while the severe cases have been taken to other hospitals. So they are not that busy right now.

The door to the lobby on the first floor was pushed open from the outside.

A woman dressed in a blue and white protective suit, covered up completely like all the medical staff, walked in, followed by a man dressed similarly in bulky clothes!

"Hello, I'm a new researcher."

"Hello……"

"Huh? Your voice sounds so familiar!" Nurse Ni's eyes widened, her senses heightened. "And your eyes look so familiar too!"

Is it Wen Ni?

A deeper voice asked tentatively from the side.

"Dr. Li, Nurse Ni, do you know her?" The other medical staff were quite surprised.

“Wen Ni, Wen Ni… Ah! I remember now, it’s Wen Ni who came to the medical building a while ago!” Xiao Ni suddenly remembered, her voice tinged with a smile. “It’s good that Dr. Li has a good memory, I only remembered that your surname is Wen! But… you just said you’re a new… researcher?”

"yes."

Wen Ni nodded.

All the medical staff in the medical building were wearing protective suits, completely covered from head to toe. If it weren't for their conversations with titles, Wen Ni would have had a hard time telling who was who!

She turned to look at Li Shiyan, who was standing on the far left. "Anyway, it's a long story, and there's no time to talk about it now. May I ask which floor my lab is on?"

"It's on the second floor, I'll take you there!" Nurse Ni enthusiastically led the way. "Is the person behind you also a researcher?"

“Yes, this is my deputy, surnamed Qin. He will be staying here with me from now on,” Wen Ni replied.

Qin Yuan strode forward, glanced at the doctor named Li Shiyan, and then followed Wen Ni.

A man's intuition told him that Dr. Li's frequent appearances were threatening the relationship between Mr. Lu and Ms. Wen Ni. He knew he had to keep a close eye on him during his stay at the medical building!

The sound of footsteps going up the stairs gradually faded away.

The medical staff in the lobby were still discussing it.

"The higher-ups assigned a student? I wouldn't say anything if it were a medical student, but it's a business university. This is completely irrelevant."

"incredible!"

"I thought he was a real medical genius, but it turns out he's about the same age as my daughter. What could he possibly understand?"

Many of them are middle-aged doctors in their forties and fifties.

"Dr. Li, do you know anything about this girl's background? Why would the higher-ups assign her?"

“I don’t know her background, and I was quite surprised to see her here.” Li Shiyan said calmly, his eyes fixed on the stairwell. “However, the higher-ups would never assign someone useless. I believe she can definitely do it!”

"For Dr. Li to say something like that, this girl must be quite capable." After hesitating for a while, the doctors nodded in agreement.

"Alright, everyone, stop gathering and get back to work!"

"Let's go, let's go."

The crowd on the first floor dispersed.

Li Shiyan remained standing there, looking up towards the direction of the second-floor laboratory...

The laboratory consists of two rooms connected by a door. White fluorescent tubes hang above the rooms, making the space very spacious and bright, and it has everything you could need!

At the far end, there's a separate cubicle with a folding bed, a separate toilet, and a sink. On the other side is a small, lockable window for passing things in from the outside.

They entered the laboratory one after the other, and Wen Ni immediately locked the only door from the inside.

"We can only leave when the research is finished," Wen Ni told Qin Yuan. "Firstly, to prevent the samples from being contaminated, and secondly, to better prevent us from being infected prematurely!"

“I understand, Miss Wen Ni.”

Since Qin Yuan chose to come in, he had already prepared for a long battle!

He looked around the laboratory and noticed a landline phone on the table.

"Miss Wen Ni, there's a landline here! Do we have a signal here? Can we make a call and contact the outside world?"

“If I’m not mistaken, this should be a single-line communication device, only able to contact people in this building.” Wen Ni shook her head, denying his guess.

"Just as you said."

Qin Yuan tried dialing Lu Jinye and Baron's numbers several times, but couldn't get through. He looked around and then noticed a piece of paper pasted on the wall with several lines of contact numbers on it.

"This landline can only connect to the contact numbers listed here, which are for various departments in the building and the military units stationed here!"
