Zhao Xuerou couldn't stand praise, and her face immediately lit up with a smile. The joy of success was always as intoxicating as the richest honey. She was increasingly grateful for her hard work these past few days, barely even looking at the documents. Anyway, the Federation wouldn't really cheat anyone, would they? Zhao Xuerou signed her name directly and then skipped outside to find Ke Bing.
Outside the door, Luo Xiaoli and Ke Bing were already waiting.
They could get a military vehicle and a driver, and drive them for an hour and a half to the nearest city, a small northern town that wasn't very prosperous but had everything they needed, as a kind of tourist trip.
After the three of them got into the off-road military vehicle, Jiangcheng began a long-planned event.
The all-night meeting failed to reach a reasonable conclusion. After discussing with several key research leaders, Jiang Cheng assigned a new task: to create an instrument to purify the mutants. The basic principle was to use the instrument to detect the cells in the mutants' bodies, remove the "necrotic" parts, and preserve the intact human source cells. In this way, the body's immune system would be forcibly restored, activating the self-protection program to briefly fight against the mutants.
This instrument has been available for a long time now.
So, around noon, when all the counselors who had gone to sign the documents arrived at the top floor of another building, a machine taller than a person was placed in the center. Wan Xingyan arrived a little late, but it didn't matter. He casually found a seat and sat down, while Jiang Cheng was busy in front of him.
"Make sure the restraints are securely fastened, otherwise he might react violently and break free, which could cause an accident."
"Commander, rest assured, I have checked it repeatedly."
"Okay, what's Ochi's current condition?"
"Still in a deep sleep, he won't wake up for several hours."
"You increased the dosage again?" Jiang Cheng asked the researcher, his tone questioning and somewhat accusatory.
“We didn’t want to add him either, but once he woke up, his condition was so unbearable to watch. It was as if he was tearing himself apart from head to tail. Every second he was awake was filled with immense pain. Perhaps in unspecified environments, they would struggle like fish out of water, nearing death.”
The researchers who have been monitoring the situation at the top level are absolutely right. They were forced to continuously increase the dosage to prolong Oqi's suffering. However, as the dosage kept increasing, the body's resistance grew, creating a vicious cycle. Without increasing the dosage, the body would awaken faster and faster, but increasing it would cause irreversible damage.
In truth, it was already a certain death situation.
Jiang Cheng anticipated that the person would die and could begin preparing for the funeral. However, with millions of people in the Federation watching, he felt he had to make some effort to comfort them. This wasn't about winning some unfounded vanity or saving face, but about giving the living an explanation.
It takes a lot of time, effort, and money to make this purification device, but in some ways it's all for naught.
"It's almost time, bring the person out."
"yes!"
After Jiang Cheng finished speaking, the robotic arm operator standing by input the commands into the device. Those sitting below watched with tense anticipation as the mutated body, sealed for days, was about to be exposed to the air… The canister slowly opened, revealing rough, fish-scale-like skin. Sticky liquid even clung to the crevices of the scales, sliding down the skin—it looked utterly disgusting. Many researchers swallowed hard, their eyes narrowing slightly.
Fortunately, the mutant researcher, Ochi, was as quiet as an infant in swaddling clothes, making no movement and fast asleep with his eyes closed. He was pushed in front of the equipment, standing upright in the restraints, his teeth protruding from his dark purple lips, looking like an untamed hunting dog standing on the grassland, challenging any living creature.
"Let's begin once you're ready."
"Understood. Entering commands... Detecting mutated genes... Analyzing intracellular components... Results are in."
"How about it?"
"The mutated cells emerged from the spine, contaminated the hematopoietic cells, and traveled throughout the body with the blood, causing the original life cells to die. Currently, the body's contamination level has reached 81%. Therefore, we can conclude that... Commander Jiang, if we are to carry out purification, there will only be one outcome."
The room fell silent as everyone listened intently to what the researchers would say next.
"The end result is that we will get a few clean bones and a pool of blood in the skull."
This is what is called purification.
Jiang Cheng paced back and forth in front of several glass jars. After getting the answer, it was not much different from what he had expected. The irritability he had deliberately hidden a few days ago was about to burst out, and the headache he had expected was not much different from what he had anticipated. Anyone would curse a few words in such a situation, just like Chen Ang's soul-searching question a few days ago.
"What the hell are we going to do now?"
"I fucking don't know either," Jiang Cheng replied.
There has always been only one solution to a dead end, and it has exhausted the wisdom and talent of our ancestors. In the end, Lao Tzu answered at the end of his autobiography, "If Heaven and Earth want to punish, then punish."
The only solution to a dead end is death.
Has Wan Xingyan arrived yet?
Jiang Cheng walked for a long time before finally sitting back down in a chair. He rubbed his face, bent over, put his arms on his knees, and rubbed his face with his palms.
"Commander, I'm here."
