Chapter 303 Deadly Threat

"Have you asked them if they are willing?!"

Professor Shen, who had been silent on the side, could no longer hold back when he heard this and suddenly asked in a harsh voice.

"Whether they like it or not, it's their honor!"

"You're crazy! You're absolutely crazy!"

Professor Kang was so angry that he was speechless.

He never imagined that Dr. Ruan, who was famous in the scientific community, would be such an arrogant and obsessed madman!

"I'm not crazy!" Dr. Ruan continued to argue, "I'm doing this for millions of people! What have I done wrong?!"

"For the progress of all mankind, what's wrong with sacrificing some people?!"

"You... Humph! Why bother talking if you don't agree with me!" Professor Kang sat back in his chair, turned his head away with a cold expression, obviously not wanting to say anything more.

Dr. Ruan took two deep breaths and said, "It's true that if we don't agree, we won't talk too much."

"Whatever. It's okay if you don't understand, but since you're already here, you have to agree to my proposal even if you don't want to!"

"What? Dr. Ruan wants to use force against us?" Professor Shen narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke in a cold tone.

Dr. Ruan was silent for a moment. He stared at Professor Kang and Professor Shen for a long while, but suddenly laughed, "...How could it be?"

"How can we use force when studying something like this?"

Professor Kang and Professor Shen raised their heads suspiciously when they heard Dr. Ruan's tone suddenly soften.

Dr. Ruan was no longer hysterical. He smiled slightly and said, "Since you two are already here, you definitely can't go back to the survivor base in City G."

"Those people you brought to the base...are no longer necessary, right?"

Upon hearing this, Professor Kang suddenly stood up from his chair, his eyes bloodshot as he shouted, "Ruan Weiqing, how dare you!"

"Old Kang!" Professor Shen knew something was wrong as soon as Dr. Ruan finished speaking. He quickly reached out to stop Professor Kang's violent reaction, but he was still a step too late.

Professor Shen closed his eyes helplessly.

Kang Cong is a good person in every way except that he is too straightforward and easily provoked by others.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that what Dr. Ruan just said was a threat.

But the more threatening he is, the more you cannot show that you care, otherwise you will just become a fish on the chopping board, at his mercy.

Sure enough, after seeing Professor Kang's reaction, Dr. Ruan laughed even more wildly.

"Hahaha... I heard before that there was a person in this team who was both Professor Kang's disciple and son. But after being here for two days, I still couldn't tell who it was."

"I originally thought my intelligence was wrong, but now it seems..." Dr. Ruan looked at Professor Kang with a playful look in his eyes, and said word by word, "My intelligence is really correct!"

Professor Kang now realized that he had fallen into the other party's trap, but it was obviously too late.

His face turned slightly pale, and he stared at Dr. Ruan with resentment. "What do you mean by 'disciple and son'? I don't understand what you're talking about! But they are all good kids, don't touch them!"

Professor Kang's mind was racing as he tried to make up for the flaw, but Dr. Ruan was not a fool and would not be fooled so easily.

"Really?" Dr. Ruan continued smiling, gently putting his hands behind his back. "Since there's none... then how about I bring them to you one by one and test the medicine on them one by one?"

"Ruan Weiqing!" Professor Kang slammed the table and shouted.

The force was so great that it cracked the wooden table.

But Dr. Ruan showed no fear. His face darkened. "I'll give you two hours to think about it. If you don't help me, then the children you bring here will become the first test subjects for my new drug!"

After Dr. Ruan finished speaking, he snorted coldly and turned around to leave.

But as if he suddenly thought of something, he turned back and said coldly, "By the way, you two must not think too much."

"You two are both smart people. Why don't you guess why I have locked you up in this place far away from the base?"

"Once those children realize you're missing, they'll definitely find their way here. If you choose to end your lives by then, I guarantee that everyone who comes here, including every blade of grass and every tree, will be buried with you!"

"you!"

Professor Kang was extremely angry. He raised his hand and pointed at Dr. Ruan with trembling hands, but he could not say a word until Dr. Ruan left.

As the door slammed shut, Professor Kang lowered his arms dejectedly.

"It's all my fault. I shouldn't have believed him and followed him to see the crystal..." Professor Kang was silent for a while, then he sighed heavily and said with regret.

Dr. Ruan tricked the two of them out of the base under the pretext of looking at the crystal.

Professor Shen was a little hesitant at first, but he agreed eagerly because he wanted to confirm whether the crystal that Dr. Ruan mentioned was the same kind of crystal that he had brought back from Mingxia Mountain.

"Don't blame yourself." Professor Shen patted Professor Kang's shoulder and smiled bitterly. "Didn't I also fail to discover his conspiracy?"

Although Kang Cong agreed first, he didn't object in the end.

"What I'm most worried about now are those children..." Professor Shen sighed softly, "The fact that we've survived until now is enough."

"But...if they really fell into Ruan Weiqing's trap just to save us, how can we close our eyes?"

Professor Kang didn't say anything, but the sadness on his face could no longer be concealed.

What Professor Shen was worried about was exactly what he was thinking about now.

Professor Kang knew Cheng Sinian well. If he found out that he hadn't been back for a long time, he would definitely come to find him.

Mingxia Mountain was so dangerous back then, yet Cheng Sinian went there, let alone now...

But even though they were extremely anxious, they were now imprisoned and could not pass on the news, so there was nothing they could do...

"What exactly did Ruan mean by what he said just now?"

There was nothing else he could do, so Professor Kang simply started thinking about what Dr. Ruan said before he left.

"There must be a trap, but what is it?"

Ruan Weiqing deliberately found a place far away from the base to detain them. On the one hand, it was because the base was in chaos, and on the other hand... from what he said, it was to better capture Qiao Yu and the others.

So how exactly does he want to catch Qiao Yu and the others?

"He said... that he would immediately bury those children, along with every blade of grass and tree here, with us. Could it be..."

What weapons are instantly activated and can deal damage over a large area?

Professor Kang was silent for two seconds, then his eyes widened. "It's dynamite!"

"If we don't agree, he's going to blow us all up!"
