Chapter 1106 Worthless
Ye Wanxi and her companion had called Xiao Jihui in advance to let him know, and they encountered no obstacles when they arrived, so they were able to get in easily.
This laboratory building has a total of four floors, three above ground and one below.
Wu was imprisoned on the first basement floor. Although it was a basement, it was bright and spacious.
Qi Yao and the others brought him back so that they could quickly research a specific drug to treat the bacterial virus, but they didn't mistreat him.
Aside from not being able to move freely, they have everything they need for daily life. On the contrary, the Ukrainian himself has been a withdrawn person who refuses to cooperate unless threatened since he arrived.
The employee leading the two inside looked troubled as he said, "This guy hasn't eaten a single thing, drunk a drop of water, or said a word in all the days he's been locked up here. If it weren't for the fact that his physical condition hasn't changed much, and he just seems a bit lazy and doesn't like to talk to people, everyone would have hesitated about giving him IV fluids."
Although this young man is young, he is already a pillar and elite member of this laboratory building.
When Qi Yao first brought them here, they weren't very happy about it.
For researchers like them, it's even more important to stay true to their principles. There are some things they can do, but some things they absolutely cannot touch.
Qi Yao had to go to great lengths to explain to them that Wu was not a real human being, and that his actions were enough to warrant his death a thousand or a hundred times over. The fact that he was spared was already the result of many people's utmost patience.
The staff in the laboratory building initially did not believe it, until they saw the color of the blood drawn from Wu, his unusual limbs hidden under his clothes, and his physical condition of not eating or drinking for the past few days.
The employee, for some reason, couldn't help but shudder. After realizing what had happened, he smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said, "We don't have many mutated people here. This is the first time we've been so close to someone like this, so we're a little surprised. But don't worry, as surprised as we are, we haven't been careless in our work."
"Good news came from above this morning." The employee pointed mysteriously to the laboratory above. "With the joint efforts of Miss Qi and the teachers, the key substance to control the bacteria and virus has been identified. I believe that soon they will be able to develop a special drug to control the bacteria and virus as well as preventive drugs, and the number of people poisoned and dying from serious illness will be greatly reduced."
Hearing him say that, Ye Wanxi was genuinely happy for the behind-the-scenes staff and the patients who had hope of recovery.
"That's great. However, you just said something wrong."
The employee was slightly taken aback: "What?"
"He's not a mutant, he's a living dead."
The employee gasped: "A zombie?"
Ye Wanxi chuckled: "You can think of them as creatures that are more agile and intelligent than zombies."
Upon hearing this, the employee was immediately filled with a series of question marks.
Although he couldn't figure out what exactly was locked up here no matter how hard he tried, at least one thing was certain.
This locked-up guy has a human appearance, but he is definitely not human!
Ye Wanxi had no idea what kind of inner struggle the employee had gone through, or how he managed to find peace amidst his inner turmoil.
The closer Ye Wanxi got to the place where Wu was imprisoned, the stiffer the little one in her arms became.
She knew the little guy was nervous, but she didn't deliberately expose it or comfort it. She simply stroked its smooth back to help it relax.
Bai Huahua felt the warmth of Ye Wanxi's palm and the gentle caress, and her stiff back gradually softened, her mood becoming increasingly complicated.
Ye Wanxi and her companion followed the employee for about ten minutes before arriving at Wu's location. After verifying their identities, a sturdy door opened, revealing a familiar figure firmly inside.
“My authority only allows me to open this door. There are several more layers of security beyond that. The dean told Miss Qi that the creature inside is extremely dangerous and cannot be contained in ordinary places. Therefore, this area is filled with various sophisticated and highly lethal traps. You'd better not get too close, or you might trigger them and get injured.”
Ye Wanxi and the other person nodded in agreement.
Even without the employee's reminder, they could tell from the moment the door opened that there was a lot of advanced security equipment inside to prevent the people locked inside from escaping.
If it were an ordinary person, they would have no chance of escaping these devices, even if they had wings.
But using these devices to imprison Wu would be completely useless.
What truly made a difference were the small dark room under Xiang Yueqi's command, the array set up with the help of Qi Yingxuan and others, and the soul-locking chain kindly provided by Feng Tianyu.
Otherwise, with all this equipment in the room, Wu would probably disappear on the spot as soon as he walked in.
"Thank you for taking the time to bring us here. We have some questions for him, which may take a little while. If you have anything else to do, you can go back first. We will leave after we have asked our questions."
Although the young employee was young, he wasn't a clueless novice. He could tell that Ye Wanxi and her companion wanted to talk to the "people" inside privately and that it wasn't appropriate for him to eavesdrop. So, he tactfully nodded and said, "Then I'll be leaving now. Contact me if you need anything. I'm in the third lab on the left just after you came down. You can come find me when you're leaving, and I'll take you out."
"Okay, thank you for your help."
As soon as the employee left, Ye Wanxi and her companion, along with the two little ones, arrived at the fence where Wu was being held.
Hearing the commotion, Wu looked up at the two men and said with a hint of sarcasm, "What are you doing here? To see if I'm dead yet?"
Ye Wanxi smiled and asked, "How have you been these past few days?"
Wu's face darkened instantly, and he said gloomily, "If you don't kill me, you will all die by my hand sooner or later."
"You're so eager to die? Are you afraid of affecting Wu Yequan because of yourself?"
Upon hearing the name "Wu Yequan," a crack finally appeared on Wu's face. His eyes widened suddenly, and he said angrily and incredulously, "How dare you... how could you address me like that..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Wanxi impatiently interrupted him: "Why can't I call him by his name? Who is he to me? In my heart, he's nobody. Don't assume everyone is like you, treating trash like treasure. What you cherish is worthless to me."
"you!"
Ye Wanxi met Wu's angry gaze and looked at his face, which was flushed with anger, and found it inexplicably ridiculous.
"You value him more than your own life, but have you ever considered that you might not even mean anything to him, that your life is as worthless as grass, and that you could be replaced at any time?"
