This comical scene left Liu Kai speechless, and at the same time, a chill ran through him.

He had just realized how terrible the virus was, but it was only in his imagination.

Now, it feels like I can truly see the future.

I witnessed the virus infecting humanity on a massive scale.

Like domesticated pigs, they eat and sleep, sleep and eat, becoming empty shells, mere walking corpses.

What happens when we've exhausted our savings?

They will likely starve to death in endless despair!

Zhong Linyu was clearly aware of this as well.

He was even somewhat absent-minded during the meal, his eyes filled with worry.

However, Liu Kai was a bit carefree, and he always believed that if the sky fell, the taller person would hold it up.

The thoughts of "concern for the country and its people" quickly vanished, and they focused on the dinner in front of them.

Just then, the factory gate was opened again.

The person who arrived was not Zhu Chaomin, whom Liu Kai had been longing for.

Instead, he was a great figure who surprised all the soldiers.

Major General Yang Hongchang, Commander of the Provincial Military Region.

Upon seeing the leader arrive, Zhong Linyu put down the boxed lunch he hadn't finished eating.

He immediately roused himself and called on everyone to stand up and salute.

Yang Hongchang quickly waved his hand, signaling him not to do that now.

His square face was full of worry as he looked at the soldiers who looked wilted like frostbitten eggplants.

Especially when he looked at Qin Luofei, who was half asleep, he revealed an unconcealable heartache and guilt.

Despite the heartache, Yang Hongchang's main target here was not Qin Luofei.

So in the end, all eyes were on Liu Kai.

After all, a big shot was watching him, so Liu Kai was too embarrassed to lie there and pretend to be dead any longer.

Helplessly, he stood up and walked forward, facing Yang Hongchang across a glass wall.

There was so much to say, even a seasoned veteran like Yang Hongchang didn't know where to begin.

In the end, all he could manage to say was, "Xiao Liu, you...you've worked hard."

Liu Kai deeply felt this; he had indeed worked very hard.

In just one day, he met with Yang Hongchang, wreaked havoc at the nuclear power plant, and then went to participate in the arrest of Ji Zihan.

In the end, he was tricked by Zhong Linyu.

He had intended to take advantage of Yang Hongchang's presence to ask for some benefits.

But I decided to be a little more "reserved".

Feigning nonchalance, he said, "Commander Yang, you're too kind. As long as that cancerous tumor is removed, that's all that matters."

"Hehe, Xiao Liu, you deserve a lot of credit for this successful operation."

Yang Hongchang was just being polite for a moment, then changed the subject.

“I only just learned of Staff Officer Zhong’s decision. It’s our military’s fault for involving you without any reason.”

"But since things have come to this, I hope you, Xiao Liu, can actively help Teacher Zhu to get the vaccine out as soon as possible."

"Of course, if you have any requests, don't hesitate to ask!"

The meaning of this passage is quite obvious.

First, Yang Hongchang shifted the blame, implying that he was not involved in the scheme to frame Liu Kai.

Secondly, we need to keep Liu Kai calm and get him to cooperate with the research.

Finally, the question of "asking for benefits" was thrown back to Liu Kai, since he himself would not offer any rewards.

If he himself wants less benefit, then he can't blame others.

Liu Kai, however, would not accept the challenge.

He pretended not to understand and smiled modestly.

"Hey, no requirements whatsoever. Commander Yang, just give me some 'overtime pay' as you see fit."

"However, I suspect that the reason I don't have symptoms of viral infection is not the reason that Staff Officer Zhong guessed."

"So if the test results confirm that there are no antibodies, I hope Commander Yang will let me go back."

The meaning behind Liu Kai's words is quite clear.

First of all, he risked his life to solve so many problems for the military, how could we not give him a huge reward?

Secondly, he didn't want to be restricted in his freedom and stay here as a "guinea pig".

Yang Hongchang was taken aback upon hearing this, and after a moment's thought, he nodded.

Since Liu Kai was perfectly aware of the situation and refused to take the bait, even if Yang Hongchang had a thick skin, he couldn't bring himself to push the offer any further.

"Don't worry, Xiao Liu, we won't let you work for nothing. After the higher-ups look into it, we'll definitely give you a satisfactory answer."

"If Teacher Zhu's test results are all fine, you can go home, but..."

Relieved to receive this assurance, Liu Kai breathed a sigh of relief.

"I understand, Commander Yang. If I really do have antibodies, I can still tell the difference between what's important and what's not."

Both of them got the answers they wanted.

We'll stop talking about these serious topics from here on out.

Yang Hongchang looked at Qin Luofei with concern, his true feelings evident.

She chatted with Liu Kai about everyday matters.

It was as if he was no longer a high-ranking general, but an elder worried about his daughter.

This atmosphere didn't last long, as Zhu Chaomin quickly returned with a report in hand.

Liu Kai and Yang Hongchang both looked at him.

Even Zhong Linyu, who had been sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, struggled to open his eyes.

He wanted to verify whether his guess was correct.

In the end, Yang Hongchang was the first to ask: "Professor Zhu, what was the result?"

Zhu Chaomin glanced at Liu Kai in the glass room, then looked at Yang Hongchang.

"Sigh, it's fair to say that Consultant Liu has antibodies in his body..."

Hearing this, Liu Kai sighed inwardly.

I'm afraid I'll have to stay here for the rest of the time.

A look of joy suddenly appeared in the eyes of Yang Hongchang and Zhong Linyu.

But to everyone's surprise, Zhu Chaomin spoke as if he were taking a deep breath.

He added slowly, "You could also say there are no antibodies."

The sudden change caused Yang Hongchang's smile to falter: "Teacher Zhu, please finish what you've said at once."
