Chapter 71

After the danger was eliminated, everyone began to repair on the spot.

Jiang Zihan couldn't resist the weakness caused by lack of mental strength. As soon as he relaxed, he was overwhelmed by a strong sense of sleepiness. He wanted to take a nap but soon fell down.

Lu Chenyuan's situation was not much better. The aftermath of the explosion caused serious internal injuries. Before he could recover, he went through a tough fight and soon fell asleep leaning against the side.

Everyone slowed down their movements. Some of the war beasts lay beside the bed, while others sat quietly at the door as guards, taking turns to watch over the beast.

For the next few days, Liang Luan forced them to rest, practically living a life of having everything provided for them. When bored, they'd play games or walk their war beasts, a state of comfort that was a bit unaccustomed to them. They heard a lot of things were happening outside, but it didn't affect their rest at all.

The legion sent various supplies from time to time. Lu Chenyuan secretly said that those people were probably planning to target the war beasts again.

"My eyes almost fell on Zhuifeng when I left." He looked at the box on the side and couldn't help raising his eyebrows. There were not many things, but they were not common. It seemed that they were serious.

Jiang Zihan leaned lazily on the back of the chair: "It's no use reaching out. The war beasts also need time to recuperate. How can there be so many to help them?"

Lu Chenyuan: "Besides the Chang Gung Base, isn't there also the War Beast Breeding Facility?" He saw that Jiang Zihan was lying a little awkwardly, so he reached out to help her adjust her position. "The Breeding Facility must be under a lot of pressure right now. I guess the higher-ups are going to issue breeding targets."

Jiang Zihan smiled: "What does that have to do with me? If they want to send war beasts to the island, I won't stop them, but once they're on the island, it won't be easy to get out."

Matches are screened, and there won't be any backdoors for them. But she's really curious about the nursery, and if she gets the chance, she'd love to visit it.

The military is currently very busy. It seems that they have found some incredible information from the information found underground, but the information is not complete. Lu Chenyuan suspects that it was hidden by Ringo and others.

Lu Chenyuan turned his head: "What do you think about Ringo?"

Jiang Zihan opened his eyes and said, "Let's go. He's already locked up. What else can he do to me?"

The cell was filled with an oppressive smell of rust. In order to prevent the mutants from escaping, all the bars and chains were made of top-quality materials.

Jiang Zihan approached the innermost room. The mechanical door opened and there was no light in the room. The person sitting quietly in the corner raised his head slightly without saying a word. The two of them stared at each other across the railing for a long time.

Ringo's eyes flickered. He had always been curious about what this "goody-goody" character looked like. Now that he saw him, he didn't look as naive as he had imagined.

Yes, if she didn't have the strength to support it, the reforms she made in the Land of Exile would only serve to benefit others.

"Doctor Jiang, I've long heard of your name." A hoarse voice sounded. Ringo was restrained by the chains and did not stand up. She only nodded slightly at her.

Jiang Zihan: "What do you want to talk to me about?"

Ringo stared at Jiang Zihan closely. "Doctor Jiang, if we can develop a genetic solvent that reduces side effects, will the Federation publish the results?"

Jiang Zihan paused. "Of course, the research project team has been established. This is an open recruitment."

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Ringo's eyes. "Does a publicly established project team mean it's transparent? I don't think so."

Jiang Zihan frowned and looked at the other person.

Ringo adjusted her sitting position with difficulty, clasping her hands together. "Do you know what happened to the researcher who first discovered that genes could be modified?"

"Bones turned to ashes, buried forever underground, not a single one left alive." A fire flickered deep in Ringo's dark pupils. "If this potion could truly be released, then why were the original researchers all silenced? The final result became the secret patent of the Federal Central Research Institute. Do you think this was someone's own initiative, or was it directed from above?"

Jiang Zihan frowned. "If you have any doubts, you should ask through proper channels instead of targeting innocent people and war beasts."

Ringo shook her head. The rebels had been acting without concealment during this period, and the existence of the information had already been leaked. If not, the result might have been the same as before.

Ringo was silent for a long time, and finally said, "I can give you the rest of the information, but I hope you will lead the experiment."

After the conversation ended, Jiang Zihan couldn't help but look back before leaving, and found that Ringo had shrunk back again, almost merging with the shadow.

After walking through the long, dim corridor, the man leaning against the pillar straightened up as light flooded into his view. "Is it over?"

Jiang Zihan nodded.

Ringo confessed that whether it was infiltrating the Shadow Organization or bombing the First Legion's camp, these things were all planned by him, and Lina did not interfere too much. As for Qi Feng, he could have been removed, but he ended up bumping into it himself.

The remaining information was quickly obtained. It contained all the past data about the instrument and the genetically modified solvent. The most core ingredient in the formula was the minerals found underground on the island.

The genetically modified solvent is actually a kind of enhancer that can improve the quality of all aspects of the body. After one injection, in Qi Feng's words, the so-called talent is nothing in the face of shortcuts.

This solvent comes in several grades. High-grade solvents have fewer side effects, but are available in smaller quantities and are only used by key personnel. Most of the solvents released are low-grade. The boosted stats instantly drop back after the effect wears off, and the aftereffects can cause significant damage to the body. Currently, these appear to be single-use items, so it's best not to use them unless it's a life-or-death situation.

Both the research institute and the legion are determined to obtain this information, hoping to find more ways to solve the distortion problem, even if it means slowly improving low-level formulas.

Jiang Zihan was also a little anxious. After all, the core materials inside included not only the minerals from the underground of the island, but also many rare and exotic plants. If the higher-ups really set their sights on the island, then this home that had been saved with great difficulty would fall apart again.

Liang Luan: "I thought someone in the military was involved with the Anbu, but I didn't expect that they were the ones who even facilitated the disbanding of the Anbu."

Ringo used the information gap to gradually divide the Shadow Organization. After a few years, the organization had already been infiltrated by his confidants.

It is said that when disaster strikes, everyone will flee. However, those secret agents were loyal and did not betray. Instead, they followed the people of the Shadow Organization into various strongholds.

However, there was not much surprise on Lu Chenyuan's face. He had somewhat expected this result.

"Ringo should have a lot of information about the Shadow Organization. He might have a backup plan. We have to keep him around," he said calmly. "Don't worry too much. The live broadcast room has its advantages. The Chang Gung Base is currently receiving a lot of attention. Even if someone wants to interfere, they have to find a legitimate reason."

The documents also contained a lot of information about early researchers, and after careful investigation, the truth about the original research institute was revealed. Ultimately, it was a victim of internal political struggles.

The border troops lacked combat power and the number of war beasts was insufficient, so some people set their sights on artificially improving combat power. At first, the experimental subjects were ordinary wild beasts, and gradually they shifted to war beasts and even humans. The distortion solvent was discovered and extracted in this process.

Distortion can increase energy activity, but it is also very dangerous and contagious. When they discovered that a researcher was infected by distortion, they immediately took measures to blockade it.

And Ringo and his elders were among this group of researchers who disappeared without a word.

Not only that, even their hometown was affected. However, it was announced to the outside world that the elders of the Lin family brought the research results home, which led to the leakage of the mutated virus and the whole village suffered.

Ringo and Lina were also injected with the distortion solvent, but perhaps because of their strong genetic talent, they awakened their superpowers and escaped. From then on, they hid themselves and prepared to implement their revenge plan. After contacting the Shadow Organization, they found ways to enter the Exile Land.

After the matter was investigated, Ringo, Qi Feng and Lin Na were sentenced to life imprisonment and exiled to Resource Star as punishment.

Qi Feng originally wanted to attract everyone's attention, so he injected two doses of genetic modification solvents in succession. The side effects caused his physical fitness to deteriorate in all aspects. Lin Na even injured his leg in the fight with Lu Chenyuan, suffering an incurable injury. He probably won't be able to leave the Resource Star again.

And those who had dabbled in the research experiment were punished one by one.

Heavy shackles were fastened upon them, and they could never be removed from their bodies. They would spend their entire lives atoning for the sins of those who had died in battle.

Although his revenge was achieved, Lin Na listened to the verdict with a dazed look in his eyes.

Do I regret it? Actually, I do. If I had known, I would have accompanied my brother in sorting out Area B and slowly exposing the situation. If I hadn't gone to the gathering place... I wouldn't have felt so guilty.

…

Due to the particularity of the experiment, the research project team invited Jiang Zihan to join, so that if anything went wrong during the process, there would be someone to save their lives.

Based on the data, the researchers developed an optimization plan that they claim could reduce the side effects of the solvent while controlling the direction of distortion. However, the materials needed for this were a challenge. Where could they find enough low-distortion material samples?

It not only involves exotic plants, but also the blood, hair, and so on of war beasts. If we study and conquer them one by one, how long will it take?

Jiang Zihan walked in with his hands in his pockets. Seeing these temporary colleagues with worried faces, he couldn't help but move forward and glance at the form: "Oh, these, we have them all in our base."

The project leader's eyes lit up instantly: "Are you serious?"

The team leader pointed anxiously at one of the core materials marked in red. "This is the flower of the mutant fig tree. We searched the material market for a long time and only found two with distortion values ​​that met the requirements. But those two haven't bloomed in years."

"Is this flower rare?" Jiang Zihan frowned as he looked at the photo.

The strangler fig had so many flowers that she would often pluck a few to give away, thinking it was nothing important. Thinking of the pile of dried flowers on the windowsill, she suddenly felt a little guilty.

My colleagues nearby were stunned when they heard what I said. They had also watched the live broadcast and saw a strangler fig tree on the island, but that tree looked too thick and sturdy and it didn't look like it would bloom (?). Unexpectedly, you can't judge a tree by its appearance.

Jiang Zihan identified the remaining core materials, and everyone looked at her with hope.

Finally, she matched them one by one in the depths of her memory, ensuring that they were all on the island. Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

The team leader slammed the table and said, "I'm going to apply to be transferred to Chang Gung Base to conduct experiments! Doctor Jiang! Please remember to help me!"

Jiang Zihan nodded: "It's a pleasure to work with you."

She glanced at the excited researchers and raised the corners of her mouth calmly.
