Zhou Siyu carefully placed the Lanling Tree and Lianmu Grass fragments into the storage compartment. The three of them searched the cold storage room but did not find anything that resembled the original Kao virus.

“The Kao virus can be transmitted through saliva, food, blood, and other routes.” Zhou Yu led Zhou Siyu and Yu Zhen to the next cold storage room, explaining as they walked: “The Etolan Laboratory developed the Kao virus, but they had no way to control it until they found a substance called C-AT1.”

"This is a completely new, undiscovered substance. It is jet black and resistant to both high and low temperatures. Adding it to glass can create storage containers with extremely strong sealing properties. These containers are used to store highly infectious viruses such as the Kao virus."

What happened to the infected researchers?

He was more concerned with how to eliminate the Kao virus than with its origins.

"They're all dead."

"They're all dead?"

Yu Zhen was very surprised and also very emotional. They created the Kao virus and died at its hands.

“They created the Kao virus, but they couldn’t cure it. When King Etolan learned of this, he ordered all infected people to be shot.” ​​Zhou Yu rubbed his stiff face and yawned. “You all know about the Kao virus; it directly affects the central nervous system.”

Is there really no solution?

“According to the information I have so far, of all the cases of infection with the Kao virus, only Yu Wei survived.” Zhou Yu slapped his forehead, turned around, and looked intently at Zhou Siyu. “If you want to conquer the Kao virus, why don’t you start with him directly?”

"You dissected him?"

Zhou Yu nodded like a chick pecking at rice, unsurprisingly earning four eye rolls from Yu Zhen and Zhou Siyu.

"Leaving aside the crime of live experimentation, given Yu Wei's current status and position, who would dare to touch him? I advise you to give up this idea as soon as possible."

Yu Wei is now not only the backbone of the army, but also the backbone of the entire alliance. If he makes the slightest mistake, the rule of the entire alliance will be overthrown by the rebels.

"I was just... joking."

“Not everything can be joked about,” Zhou Siyu said seriously. “If you dare to have those kinds of thoughts about him again, I don’t mind dissecting you first.”

"Oh dear... my life is so miserable~" Zhou Yu exaggeratedly wiped away imaginary tears, looking at Zhou Siyu with resentful eyes: "They say sons are no longer under their fathers' control when they grow up, but this son has grown up and is now siding with outsiders..."

Zhou Siyu rolled her eyes, decisively activated the noise shielding system, and opened the panel to check the information.

Yu Zhen stared at the ceiling, looking as if to say, "I don't know anything, I didn't see anything."

After Zhou Yu had been giving a long, self-directed speech, he realized that neither of them was paying attention to him. He let out two more pitiful howls, and once he was sure that he was being completely ignored, he decisively composed himself and led the way.

"The original form of the Kao virus is top secret in the Etolan Laboratory. I've been here for decades and still haven't found it." Zhou Yu said, pounding his hands as he walked, and asked doubtfully, "Are you sure the outbreak on the seventeenth planet was caused by the Kao virus?"

"The test results show this," Zhou Siyu said, pinching the bridge of her nose. "And Yu Wei was also infected, with exactly the same symptoms."

"That's strange. Could it be that the Kao virus prototype was taken away by the rebels a long time ago?"

Zhou Yu stopped abruptly and turned to look at Zhou Siyu.

If that's the case, then what is Zhou Siyun's purpose in coming here?

"Is that possible? But I've heard..."

Zhou Siyu frowned slightly. He originally came to obtain the Primarch for research, but according to Zhou Yu, if the Primarch was no longer there or had been taken away, then who released the news that the Primarch was in the ruins of the Etolan Laboratory?

"Who told you that?"

“After learning that Yu Wei was infected with the Kao virus, I asked Uncle Lin for information about the Kao virus, as well as information from the anti-imperial war. The results showed that the original Kao virus was very likely still in the ruins of the Etolan Laboratory.” Zhou Siyu explained, “Moreover… the Oran Laboratory also organized this operation.”

The laboratory records clearly document the location where the Kao virus was stored in the Etolan laboratory, three floors underground.

When the Alliance forces attacked the Etolan Laboratory, the researchers couldn't have taken the Kao virus prototype with them.

"During the chaos of war, how could any complete records have been preserved? Besides, Lin Ling was only seven or eight years old at the time, what could he possibly remember?"

Zhou Yu felt that the whole thing was strange from beginning to end, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong with it.

With Lin Ling's intelligence, it's impossible that he didn't think of this, but he insisted that the discovery of the Kao virus prototype in the Etolan laboratory ruins was either a result of being misled or intentional.

“I remember needing authorization to get in here. Lin Ling definitely wouldn’t let you come, and according to Yu Wei, he never gave you authorization either.” Zhou Yu hugged Zhou Siyu, looking her up and down. “So where did you get your authorization?”

“I’m not sure.” Zhou Siyu shook her head, told Zhou Yu the whole story, and finally concluded: “It should be Zhou Siyun. Although I don’t know what she’s trying to do, there is a rift between us…”

Zhou Siyu phrased it tactfully, but Zhou Yu understood immediately.

When rivals meet, it's either you die or I live.

Given the Zhou family's eccentric nature, Zhou Siyun and Zhou Siyu must both be secretly plotting to eliminate each other.

"Does she have the authority to authorize this?"

"She's in charge of this operation, so it shouldn't be difficult for her to replace the team members' names with mine."

“You underestimate Lin Ling.” Zhou Yu strongly disagreed with this guess. “He was the one who spearheaded this operation, and he was definitely in charge of the personnel screening. No one could do this under his nose.”
