In her previous life, Qiao Yu thought Jiang Zhan was mentally unstable; she feared and loathed him. Yet, Jiang Zhan endured endless torture to save her, protecting her until his very last breath.
Chapter 284 Searching for the "Reservoir"
Qiao Yu pursed her lips slightly and clenched her hands into fists.
She really couldn't understand what was the point of their research on this drug?
For fame? Or profit?
If it was for fame, why choose such a disreputable human experiment?
But if it's for profit...
Although Qiao Yu didn't know the price of this drug yet, it was obvious that ordinary people could not afford it.
The purpose of the mutant drug, which was tailor-made for ordinary people, was not to sell it to ordinary people...
Qiao Yu's expression darkened as he thought of this. "Are they trying to convince the top leaders of other bases to buy this drug to build a parasite army and bolster their manpower?"
After the end of the world, the major survivor bases were seriously short of troops.
Even though the military district leaders were constantly recruiting mercenaries, the speed at which they recruited mercenaries was far less than the speed at which their troops were being depleted.
Because recruiting soldiers can only recruit those who are different from you.
If ordinary survivors become mercenaries, it is basically equivalent to committing suicide.
But if this kind of medicine were available, the situation would be very different.
This is indeed a great temptation for the military district leaders who are worried about the reduction in troop strength every day.
After all, the overall situation is more important. Not all responsible persons care about the lives of ordinary survivors...
The scary thing is that they are not just after the supplies and crystal cores to be exchanged for medicine.
Now Qiao Yu can basically conclude that Han Ming is the mastermind behind all this.
If it was Han Ming, then his purpose must not be that simple.
Materials and crystal cores have always been just tools to support his research.
His purpose must not be here.
331st Legion, human trafficking, drug research...
Out-of-control mercenaries, a military district with sharply reduced manpower...a survivor base!
Various clues flashed through Qiao Yu's mind, and then his eyes suddenly widened, and he felt a chill down his spine.
Han Ming’s real purpose is to completely control these survivor bases!
This medicine was developed by him. If he put some drugs that can control people into it, such as the drug of the God of Fury, it would be possible to control the entire base without anyone knowing!
No wonder……
No wonder the 331st Legion was poisoned first, and then human trafficking and human experiments began, in order to completely bring down these military districts!
Then, they would take advantage of the opportunity to use this drug to slowly infiltrate the base military area.
If her guess was correct, then it was very likely that more than just the 331st Legion had suffered at his hands.
Since Han Ming can reach the eastern military districts of City A and City G, it is difficult to guarantee that there are no his people or medicines in other military districts.
It's very likely that they are just hiding deeper than the 331st Legion.
"No, A Zhan, you must tell the commander of the military district about this matter when you get back, and ask them to take more precautions."
But if things come to this point, it will be even more difficult to deal with.
There are tens of thousands of people in the base. Trying to find someone who has been drugged and is under control but is still alive is like looking for a needle in a haystack.
As for this, we can only wait for the antidote from Professor Kang, Professor Shen, and Yu Qingchuan.
"Our top priority is to find a way to prevent these drugs from being released to the market." Qiao Yu frowned, looking thoughtful.
As for the purchase issue, Qiao Yu is not very worried now.
On the one hand, everyone comes to attend the exchange meeting, and even if they have funds, it is not much; on the other hand, the exchange meeting is only responsible for announcing the results, and researchers definitely need to conduct research and inspection on these drugs.
And all of this obviously has to wait until we return to the base.
"Ah Zhan, what are they saying in there now?"
After a few seconds of investigation, Jiang Zhan quickly replied, "We are still explaining this medicine and conducting academic discussions."
Qiao Yu pursed his lips slightly, "It seems that this research result is more than just this one, right?"
"Yes." Jiang Zhan nodded, "There is another medicine, and the demonstration time is scheduled for tomorrow."
"This exchange meeting will last for three days. I've seen the meeting schedule, and they'll conduct live experiments on the third day."
"Then let's go too." Qiao Yu whispered, "Since we have no other plans today, let's go find the 'reservoir' first."
Now their mission has been upgraded. In addition to taking samples, Qiao Yu also wants to find more evidence and other relevant clues about Han Ming's evil ambitions.
So time is precious and they must seize the time.
But now they can't go to the underground laboratory, so they can only look for the "reservoir" first.
"good."
Jiang Zhan nodded, removed the mental barrier, then took Qiao Yu's hand and went to the door to register and leave.
The two were also escorted out of the institute by the guards themselves.
"Cheng Sinian and the others are heading south, so we'll investigate north."
Qiao Yu whispered as he pulled Jiang Zhan towards the north.
They had already discussed it before coming to the meeting. If they could come out early, Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen would go to the south of the base to check.
"But I think that if they really raised that kind of mutant plant, they definitely wouldn't raise it in the base. But this location must be very close to the base."
"Yeah." Jiang Zhan nodded in agreement. "There's a forest to the north. Why don't we start looking there?"
"Okay." Qiao Yu also nodded. "We don't have to go out. If they really raised those mutant plants in the north, there must be a gate in the north specifically for them to transport water."
If you want to go north, you will have to pass through Taipei again.
Qiao Yu pulled Jiang Zhan through the alleys. They seemed leisurely, but in fact, their pace was not slow.
When the two men arrived at the place where they bought the news yesterday, the person who sold them the news was no longer there, but there were still many people around dressed like the one from yesterday.
These people are all selling information.
Qiao Yu originally wanted to ask someone else, but after thinking about it, he felt that it was not appropriate.
Although the exchange meeting was kept secret, it would eventually be made public. They just wanted to know in advance.
So even if you ask about it, you won't get into trouble.
But if it is true that mutant plants are raised to produce water, then the officials of City A will definitely not disclose any information.
After all, once exposed, they will have to find a way to explain where the flesh and blood that feed the mutant plants come from.
I'm afraid even they themselves can't explain this kind of thing clearly.
Just as Qiao Yu and Jiang Zhan were hurrying along, they suddenly heard a voice behind them: "Captain Qiao."
Qiao Yu paused and looked back.
Then they saw Baili Zhuo standing at the entrance of an alley, looking at them with a smile, "Captain Qiao, where are you going?"
