Chapter 286 Second Project

Jiang Zhan saw the depression and compassion in Qiao Yu's eyes, and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Qiao Yu's hair.

"Ayu, think positively. At least this will help us implement our plan."

He was cold-hearted by nature and was not moved by the deaths of these unrelated people.

But he couldn't bear to see Qiao Yu sad.

Qiao Yu nodded, and after a long silence, he asked, "Ah Zhan, can you confirm how many of these mutant flower plants there are?"

“Nearly five hundred.”

Five hundred plants...

No wonder the smell of blood is so strong here.

This place is simply another form of large slaughterhouse!

Qiao Yu pursed her lips and stopped talking. She pulled Jiang Zhan and turned to leave.

Qiao Yu didn't say another word until he returned to the room.

Qiao Yu thought that after a lifetime of suffering and witnessing life and death and hard work, he would no longer have such strong compassion.

But Han Ming always refreshes her understanding of cruelty.

The fresh corpses I just saw are still vivid in my mind.

Some were even very young children.

They had tried so hard to survive in the apocalypse, and had tried their best to live to this day.

But they did not die at the hands of alien species, nor at the hands of mutated animals and plants, but at the hands of their own kind.

Such crazy cruelty and disregard for human life, and the willingness to do anything for the sake of research, can only be done by Han Ming, only Han Ming!

But Qiao Yu didn't understand.

Could it be that the senior management of the survivor base in City A is so permissive towards Han Ming?

Is there no one who objects?

How did Han Ming manage to take control of City A in just half a year?

This is what Qiao Yu can't understand the most.

Han Ming obviously took action against all the survivor bases.

However, he only secretly drugged the Legion in G City. Even if it involved human trafficking, he only started from the black market and wanted to secretly disintegrate G City.

But why is all this laid out in the open in City A?

Can even a highly respected researcher like Dr. Ruan be willing to work for Han Ming?

How did he do it?

…

Jiang Zhan did not disturb Qiao Yu's meditation, but just sat beside her, hugged her, and patted her back gently like coaxing a child.

He knew that Qiao Yu was in a bad mood, but he was tongue-tied and didn't know how to comfort her.

I can only stay with her quietly.

Fortunately, Qiao Yu did not remain depressed for long. She knew that their top priority at the moment was to find a way to obtain samples from the sample library.

Although Han Ming is a madman obsessed with research, he is meticulous and cautious, so it is impossible to catch him easily.

She has to be patient.

Qiao Yu came to his senses and found that it was getting dark outside.

Just when I was about to ask Jiang Zhan if Cheng Sinian and Luo Zhenzhen had returned, there was a sudden knock on the door.

"It's Yu Qingchuan." Jiang Zhan whispered in Qiao Yu's ear, then let go of Qiao Yu, stood up and opened the door.

"How was the meeting? Did it go well?" Qiao Yu asked softly while motioning Yu Qingchuan to sit down.

"Yeah." Yu Qingchuan sat down on the chair opposite the sofa and nodded. "Today went pretty smoothly, but I didn't expect that they seemed to have a second important project to show us."

"Isn't this written in the meeting procedures?" Qiao Yu asked with some confusion.

The meeting agenda had already stated that a new project would be introduced the next day.

"It's different." Yu Qingchuan shook his head. "Projects can be big or small, important or unimportant."

"The meeting agenda didn't mention how important the project was, but judging by what they said today, the project they're going to introduce tomorrow might be just as important as today's project."

"You mean to say they might have developed a drug that's just as effective as this one that turns ordinary people into mutants?"

"Yes, that's what I mean."

"But how is this possible?" Qiao Yu pursed his lips, frowning. "Research takes time. It's only been less than half a year since the end of the world began. How could they possibly have developed so many drugs?"

In fact, Qiao Yu had previously wondered whether Han Ming was also a person who had been reborn.

Although Qiao Yu was not sure of the answer to this question, he had heard of Han Ming's research in his previous life.

The medicines now available are all those that Han Ming had never studied in his previous life.

So she really couldn't understand how so many drugs were developed within half a year?

There are drugs like base drugs, soul-destroying drugs, and wrathful drugs, as well as drugs that allow ordinary people to become mutants. Now there is a third project?

"There are two possibilities." After hearing Qiao Yu's question, Yu Qingchuan thought for a few seconds and answered quickly.

"Which two?"

"The first possibility is that the ingredients of the drugs are so similar that there's no need for a second development. As long as we improve on the existing ones and find the different effects between the drugs, we can completely form a new project."

"The second possibility is that although the drug ingredients used are different, the principles of drug efficacy are the same."

"In this case, if we can figure out the mechanism of action of just one drug, we'll be able to figure out all the other mechanisms."

"So, in your opinion, which scenario is more likely now?"

Yu Qingchuan shook his head. "I haven't got the drug ingredients for today's project yet, so I can't be sure."

"But the third day of the conference is for experimental demonstrations, and I plan to try to get some medicine back from the conference that day."

"Okay." Qiao Yu nodded, "But we can't help you with this matter, so you can only rely on yourself."

"I understand." Yu Qingchuan nodded, not looking very nervous. "Okay, tell me about you guys."

"Did you find anything when you went out today?"

Qiao Yu raised his eyebrows when he heard this, "How did you know we were out?"

The door of the conference room is so soundproof.

Yu Qingchuan rubbed his forehead, a helpless expression on his face, "Of course the guard said so."

"After we finished our meeting and came out and didn't see you, I guessed you were out looking for the 'reservoir'. I checked with the guards and found out that you had indeed left long ago."

Qiao Yu curled the corners of his lips, "Oh, our Yuda Researcher is quite smart."

Yu Qingchuan smiled helplessly again, "So what did you find?"

When Qiao Yu heard this, the scene he had seen in the dense forest north of the base appeared in front of his eyes again, and his face couldn't help but darken again.

"Found it."

Qiao Yu raised his eyes and looked at Yu Qingchuan, "They really did raise that kind of plant, and there are quite a lot of them, nearly 500."
