Deng Ran was almost insane. His refined face was filled with the unbridled joy of finally being released after a long period of suppression. "You must be very curious. Why did Professor Huang prefer to be kidnapped by you rather than press the alarm button and call the base for help when only the two of you broke into the research institute?"

After he said that, Sun Lu and Li Kaixuan finally realized what he meant.

“Yes, this is the most important core area of ​​the deep space base, so there must be a one-button alarm device.” Li Kaixuan tensed up, his eyes scanning the surroundings, trying to find the location of the alarm device.

Sun Lu also looked puzzled, crossing her arms as she observed the teacher and student bickering like dogs.

"Don't bother looking, he won't call the police, right, teacher?" Deng Ran sat in the chair, toying with a test tube containing nutrient solution in his hand, his eyes looking at Professor Huang defiantly, the corners of his eyes slightly upturned.

"The teacher signed an agreement with the high-ranking officials of the Deep Space Base to achieve a breakthrough in the development of a vaccine against the zombie virus within two years. The Deep Space Base will meet all his material needs and provide him with the greatest authority and resources. However, if no corresponding results are achieved by the end of the two years, all of his current privileged life and privileges will be taken back."

Deng Ran's cheek muscles trembled slightly with excitement. "Unfortunately, my teacher's wife is the expert in virus vaccines. After she fell into a coma, my teacher's experiments have made no progress for a full six months."

"Time is almost up, teacher must be very anxious, right?" He finished speaking and chuckled to himself, "But you don't dare to alert the base's security department for rescue, I really don't know what the teacher should do."

Professor Huang's face was gloomy, his refined and handsome features shrouded in suppressed anger.

Lu Sheng crossed his legs with great interest, hefting the Tang sword in his hand over Professor Huang's shoulder. "So what? You tricked these people into coming to the research institute under the guise of testing vaccines, but actually you just wanted to harvest organs for your wife?"

“This is an equivalent exchange! They are not at a disadvantage!” Professor Huang’s face twitched. Under Lu Sheng’s scrutinizing gaze, he strode to the three unconscious consumables on the experimental table.

"These people, by their own abilities, could only eke out a living in the outer areas their whole lives. I gave them a chance to enter the core area and live a life of ease. They should be thanking me!"

He was agitated. He lifted Xu Jing's clothes and pointed to two scars, one new and one old, below her navel. "This woman has already had a C-section and stitches. She has already given birth. What use is her uterus?"

"This one, and this one, are all trash with superpower levels only at the fourth or fifth tier. If they hadn't been chosen by me, their fate would have been to be fed to the dogs outside the base!"

Professor Huang roared as he swept all the experimental data on the table to the floor, his facial muscles contorted and red from the force. "I gave them a chance to live! It's just a mere organ, but they've received a life they never dared to dream of before!"

"I just wanted my beloved wife to wake up again, what did I do wrong?"

He had barely finished speaking when he was kicked hard in the chest.

Lu Sheng swung her long leg and kicked him directly in the chest, causing him to stagger a few steps and fall backward against the corner of the wall.

"Well said, then why don't you give her your organs?"

"You can't even bear to part with a kidney or a cornea, so what makes you think you love her?"

"I..." Professor Huang was speechless after being rebuked by Lu Sheng's words.

Deng Ran added fuel to the fire, saying, "The teacher is very careful when selecting organs."

"The first round of deliberately releasing the zombie virus to spread throughout the building was to select the people among you with the best physical condition."

"The second round will test your courage and judgment."

"After all, there have been cases abroad where people's personalities changed drastically after organ transplants. Teachers need to select the best organ donors for their wives."

After Deng Ran repeatedly exposed his shortcomings, Professor Huang slumped in the corner like a wilted eggplant, his previous refined demeanor completely gone.

At this moment, he was no different from the homeless people under the bridge before the apocalypse, like a walking corpse.

People who do scientific research value their reputation the most. Once these scandals are exposed, they will have no place to stand in the deep space base.

“Now that things have come to this, I have nothing left to hide. You all know about these shameful things anyway.” Professor Huang struggled to sit up, swaying as he stood. “Give me some time. I want to see my wife one more time.”

After saying that, he turned away dejectedly in front of everyone.

"I didn't realize he was such a romantic." Sun Lu pouted and casually lifted Xu Jing off the lab table.

Lu Sheng stared coldly at Professor Huang's back, pouring cold water on Sun Lu's enthusiasm, "If you believe a man who says he loves his wife, I don't even need to look at your birth chart to know that you'll be deceived ten or eight more times in this life."

She never believed in the kind of dramatic outburst from a man at the end of his rope who would suddenly become deeply affectionate.

She was just curious what kind of trouble this person could stir up.

Just as everyone in the laboratory was discussing this, Professor Huang suddenly took out a tiny injection needle from his white coat pocket, lifted his shirt, and injected it into his stomach.

After the red liquid from the syringe entered his skin, Professor Huang hunched over in pain, his eyes bloodshot and wide open.

His muscles and bones twitched at bizarre angles beneath his skin, quickly twisting his body into angles that were impossible for humans to achieve.

Tear.

With an unexpected cracking sound, Professor Huang collapsed to the ground, his body hunched over like a shrimp.
