"Director Xiao, is this mutation reversible?" Xu Yi, who had been silent until now, suddenly asked.

Xiao Guozheng shook his head. "A one-way mutation, irreversible."

Hearing this, everyone present felt a little better.

The death of those sea monsters can be considered a release for them.

"Holy crap, Chen Dongsheng is physically disabled and mentally twisted too. He knew this thing wouldn't work, yet he still created a bunch of monsters and dumped them in the artificial river." Zhang Xiaojuan couldn't help but swear.

The monsters in the artificial river have already devoured many people, all thanks to these failed experiments.

"A typical antisocial personality."

Xu Yi looked at the small body on the experimental bed with pity, "Chen Dongsheng enjoys the pleasure of creating chaos."

"That beast, it would be too lenient to blow him up."

Ma Dongmei was so angry that her teeth itched, and she wished she could put Chen Dongsheng's ashes in an iron pot and stir-fry them for forty-nine days right now.

"Hmm..."

As the group was talking, a faint sound suddenly came from the small figure on the experimental bed.

"Look! She's opened her eyes!"

Sun Tiantian exclaimed in surprise and quickly patted Lu Sheng's arm.

As the dim sunset shone through the window, the girl's withered eyelids trembled slightly.

Her long eyelashes, like the wings of a butterfly soaked by rain, trembled with difficulty before slowly lifting up.

Those were eyes that had completely lost their vitality.

His dry whites were covered with red blood vessels, and his dark pupils were devoid of any light, like a doll whose cotton had been emptied out.

"Hmm..."

Xiaoyue's withered fingers suddenly lifted, and her lifeless eyes finally focused on Xiao Guozheng.

"She doesn't want to live anymore."

Lu Sheng lowered his eyes slightly.

Xiaoyue's injuries were too severe, and she was kept alive by tubes inserted into her upper body to administer nutrient solutions.

The wounds on his lower body were mostly festering, and he would die soon after the tubes were removed.

“Xiaoyue, it’s not that your uncle doesn’t want to help you.” Xiao Guozheng couldn’t bear it and bent down beside Xiaoyue’s bed. “Your uncle has only ever held a scalpel to save people in his whole life. He has never even killed a fish.”

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned icy.

The crowd looked at each other, unable to bear seeing such a young life end.

"I'll do it."

Xu Yi took out a syringe and slowly walked to Xiaoyue's bedside.

Xiao Guozheng stared at the syringe for several seconds, then looked up in slight surprise, "What is this...?"

"chloride."

Chloride is the standard injectable agent for euthanasia, but euthanasia is not currently supported in China, so Xiao Guozheng does not have the relevant drugs on hand.

Once the drug enters the human body, it will rapidly cause the patient to die from heart failure, thus achieving the purpose of euthanasia.

Xu Yishou gently stroked Xiaoyue's eyes with his long, slender hand. He first gave Xiaoyue an injection of a hypnotic drug, and then gently injected the chloride from the syringe into her withered arm.

A dozen seconds later, Xiaoyue's weak breathing gradually subsided, and her curled-up right hand finally fell down.

"Sending this child away is like escaping a sea of ​​suffering."

Xiao Guozheng and Ding Yao secretly wiped away their tears. After spending time together, both of them had developed feelings for Xiaoyue.

Having solved the mystery of the sea monster, the group's journey in Qinhuai City finally came to an end.

"Director Xiao, K3 Base cordially invites you and Director Ding to join us."

Ma Dongmei changed her usual attitude and solemnly extended an invitation to Xiao Guozheng and his wife.

"Humanity will one day overcome the apocalypse, but this journey is destined to be a groping in the dark. In this darkness before dawn, we urgently need medical talents like you and Director Ding to help humanity overcome natural disasters."

Xiao Guozheng and Ding Yao exchanged a glance, then looked at Xiao Yu and Sun Tiantian.

“Mom and Dad, we won’t be living at the K3 base, but we will support whatever decision you make.” Xiao Yu squeezed Sun Tiantian’s hand.

"But Dongsheng Group has so much scientific research equipment and the results we've just achieved..."

Xiao Guozheng looked troubled.

The original intention of doctors is of course to treat and save lives, and every step of medical development is for the purpose of better treating patients.

He wanted to join the K3 base, but he was also reluctant to give up the hard-won research conditions and achievements.

"Don't worry, Director Xiao, the base will send people to take all this equipment back soon."

Lu Song patted his chest and gave his guarantee.

With this guarantee in hand, Xiao Guozheng and his wife readily agreed.

After a long day of activities, the group left Dongsheng Group and checked into the most luxurious hotel in Qinhuai City.

When night fell and the wind was high, Lu Sheng, along with Rocket and Zhuangzhuang, once again infiltrated the Dongsheng Group.

After Rocket turned into a mini husky puppy, it became exceptionally clingy, staying in Lu Sheng's arms and refusing to let go.

Seeing that Rocket kept pestering Lu Sheng, Zhuangzhuang was so angry that his beard bristled.

This cunning dog! It's only been here a day and it's already managed to follow us out! Its position is in serious jeopardy!

We need to find a way to get rid of this stupid dog!

"Rocket, where are the supplies stored?"

The once-prosperous Dongsheng Group is now deserted. Many items have been stolen, leaving the building in a state of disarray.

When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. The only boss was gone, and the remaining people were just trying to make a living, so naturally they all went back to their own homes.

"Awooo!"

Rocket jumped down from Lu Sheng's arms and ran ahead with a fawning expression, leading Lu Sheng and Zhuangzhuang to the hidden warehouse.

Fortunately, Chen Dongsheng had a strong sense of security, and the warehouse door was unlocked with iris recognition, which allowed Lu Sheng to come over.

Lu Sheng easily broke open the door with an electronic decoder and squeezed into the warehouse.

Even though he was mentally prepared, Lu Sheng was still slightly surprised by the enormous inventory in front of him, which was comparable to the government's grain reserves.

From grains and vegetables to daily necessities and gold and silver jewelry, the selection here is even more comprehensive than the supermarkets Lu Sheng raided back then.

It's enough to feed the people in one base for eight to ten years.

Furthermore, there were also some brand-new, unused medical equipment and pharmaceutical raw materials. Even Xiao Guozheng and his wife probably didn't know about these.

However, considering that he had already unlocked the breeding bonus system, Lu Sheng only chose to store half of the inventory in the final storage space.

Let's leave the other half to the K3 base.

After all, in the previous life, K3 base was a relatively safe haven in the chaotic world, providing shelter for many displaced refugees.

...

The two teams set off early the next morning.

Acid rain that has lasted for dozens of days is still falling, but the intensity has decreased compared to before.

Squeak!

A sharp screech of brakes.

When the car was still more than ten kilometers away from the K3 base, Ma Dongmei and her team suddenly stopped.

"What happened?"

Zhang Xiaojuan leaned out of the car window to look around, "It looks like we hit someone!"

The group of people's hearts sank, and they immediately got out of the car to check.

"How could it be her?"

Lu Sheng was slightly surprised to see the woman lying in front of the car.
