Chapter 61 "The tenth underground floor is so quiet today." Without 001's angry roar, it was still a little bit quiet.
"The tenth underground floor is so quiet today." Without 001's angry roar, he was actually a little uncomfortable.
Xiao Yubai was among a group of researchers. When he heard the researcher's heartfelt sigh, he nodded in agreement.
If you make a fuss at night, you will have no energy during the day.
"This is all thanks to Dr. Xiao. The alienation stabilizer she developed helped calm 001 to a great extent. She has made a huge contribution to our great scientific research."
Compliments one after another rang in Xiao Yubai's ears. She curled her eyes slightly and shook her head modestly.
In the eyes of the others, her image became even more impressive. Look at how indifferent she was to fame and wealth, and how calm and indifferent she was. They felt ashamed of themselves.
However, everyone's good mood disappeared without a trace when they saw 001's extremely high degree of alienation.
"50%! How could the alienation degree soar to 50%! It's higher than its previous peak! Didn't it drop before?" Dean Song widened his eyes in disbelief.
What followed was another round of blood draws and examinations.
The data obtained was very different from the indicators after the injection of the alienation stabilizer. Several indicators have reached the high-risk limit.
Xiao Yubai took out the data she recorded during the night watch and reported softly, "Dean, the data I recorded during the night watch yesterday was still normal. This shows that the alienation stabilizer is effective for 001. It's just that the effect lasts too short. Maybe it's because I'm not good enough. I will immediately retrieve all the data of 001 and try to improve it in the shortest time possible."
After Xiao Yubai finished her report, she did not act vigorously as usual. She gently lowered her eyes, her face unexpectedly calm. Although she did not have any other expression, everyone subconsciously realized that she was depressed, annoyed, and hated herself for not being able to do better.
Dean Song was stunned for a moment, and his irritable expression softened. He said nothing, but patted her shoulder to show encouragement. This was an outstanding young talent in his institute, and she had done better than most researchers. How could he blame her?
Xiao Yubai lowered her head and silently came to 001 to measure the data. As if she saw something, her mouth slightly opened, a little unbelievable.
"Pinholes, Dean, please take a look. There are extra pinholes on the back of 001's neck."
At Xiao Yubai's raised voice, everyone gathered around.
"Except for the alienation stabilizer I injected into 001 yesterday, there is no other injection required in the neck." Xiao Yubai pushed aside 001's long hair, and two pinholes suddenly appeared on the pale neck, which looked like the marks of mosquito bites.
However, their laboratory is almost sterile, so there are no mosquitoes.
"All researchers who had contact with 001 yesterday, please come out and report on your work." One by one, the researchers stood up. Each of them was extremely frank, and everyone's statements were correct.
But where did the pinhole come from? Was the sudden surge in 001's alienation related to it? Why did he do this?
One question after another swirled in Dean Song's mind, giving him a headache. Xiao Yubai stood quietly by the side, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
Dean Song held his aching head and waved his hand:
"Dr. Xiao, just tell me what you want to say. I know you have nothing to do with this matter." It would be a contradiction for a researcher who developed an alienation stabilizer to go to great lengths to increase the alienation level of 001.
Xiao Yubai looked around and saw that the other researchers were far away from them, so she said softly: "Dean, I heard that the outside world is still unaware of our great research. One reason is that some pedantic people will strongly oppose it. You say, if our research is known to those people..." She paused and sighed softly:
"Although we all know what a great experiment this is, how can mediocre people with shallow vision understand it?"
"You mean there are spies from outside sneaking into our group of researchers. They want to take the opportunity to get rid of 001 and make all our achievements go to waste." Dean Song said gritting his teeth.
"Dean, I'm just speculating. Maybe I'm thinking too complicated." She didn't say anything. He made the guess himself.
"That's right. Who else but a spy would attack 001? It must be like this." With the shrill alarm, the captain of the guard led a group of guards to surround the tenth underground floor. They searched inside and out several times but found nothing.
"Did you check the surveillance?"
Dean Song nodded and said, "I checked all the surveillance videos after yours, and there was nothing unusual." He subconsciously responded to Xiao Yubai's calm questions. Unknowingly, Xiao Yubai became the leader.
"Maybe someone used special means to tamper with the surveillance." Xiao Yubai speculated, touching his chin.
"I'll have someone go get tested right away."
"It is also possible that it happened before me. After all, it takes time for the drug to take effect." With these words, Xiao Yubai dragged all the researchers into the water, but Dean Song believed it.
In the messy tenth underground floor, researchers were taken away for questioning one by one, but no matter how hard they tried, they could not find out who the spy was.
Of course it can't be found out, because she did it. Since she can research the alienation stabilizer, then the alienation enhancer should be easy to get.
Only when the water in the research institute is muddy will she have the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
001 suddenly opened its golden pupils and struggled violently, startling the researchers who were studying it. They ran out in panic.
“Ah…ah…”
The guards quickly stepped forward to reinforce its restraints, carefully standing not far away with guns, ready to fight at any time.
As usual, the researchers hid behind the guards and glass, observing it carefully.
Xiao Yubai hid behind the researcher, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and smiled provocatively at 001.
Although everything in front of her was a blur of light and shadow, 001's bright golden eyes instinctively looked towards that place and locked onto her.
It was going to tear her apart.
The hard metal creaked as she struggled fiercely. The researcher pointed at the instrument beside her and screamed:
"Dean Song, its alienation level has increased again. It has already soared to 60%."
"Who is it? Who is it? What did you just do to 001?" Dean Song roared angrily, his cheeks flushed with anger.
001's reaction seemed to confirm Xiao Yubai's guess. There were spies in the institute, and they wanted to destroy 001 and the most perfect work of his life.
The guards opened the dormitory of every researcher with great murderous intent and checked them thoroughly. Any researcher who showed the slightest suspicion was isolated and awaited investigation.
Xiao Yubai looked at the almost half-empty tenth underground floor and sighed. This batch of researchers is really useless.
Doing scientific research also requires a lot of cleverness. Do you really think that any naive person can make it in the scientific research world?
From small things like choosing a supervisor to big things like factional disputes among supervisors after entering graduate school, there is nothing that does not require consideration.
If you want to do research quietly, you should take care of these things in advance.
Night, same environment, same time. This time Xiao Yubai sat for four hours.
Dean Song couldn't find the real spy no matter what, and was worried about leaving them alone with 001, so he arranged them into groups of two, with each shift changing every hour.
There were not enough researchers, and some were detained for serious suspicion. So the remaining time was given to her.
What else could she say but accept it wearily.
At one o'clock in the morning, Xiao Yubai took out the medicine on time and injected it into 001's neck.
"ah……"
"Shh." 001 hadn't even gotten out a single syllable when Xiao Yubai quickly blocked his voice. 001 was choked so hard that he couldn't even breathe and had a heart attack.
"If you behave better, you might suffer less today."
Xiao Yubai looked at the detector beside him. After two consecutive nights of injections, its degree of alienation continued to soar and now has reached a terrifying 70%.
As the degree of alienation increased, 001's alienation worsened. Its face was covered with dense scales, two small lumps appeared on its forehead, and the looming horns were about to break through its skin. Its tail expanded further, and the long hook grew several times larger.
Beads of sweat kept oozing out of its body, and its face was distorted to the extreme. It was in pain.
Xiao Yubai picked up the tweezers and gently picked up the scales that had fallen off 001's body, and placed them under the instrument beside him. The scales were much less hard than before.
Sure enough, as the alienation value increased, its offensiveness and defensiveness both decreased, and the process of assimilation by the virus slowed down.
Therefore, for it, the best alienation degree is maintained at 50-60%. If the alienation degree is too high, the body will not be able to bear it. If it is too low, it is only one step away from assimilation.
Those experimental subjects who have been injected with evolution agents three or four times are easier to deal with. Injecting alienation stabilizers to reduce the degree of alienation may have the possibility of returning to normal.
What about 001? It has been injected with too many evolutionary agents. What can she do to help it?
Seeing Xiao Yubai standing aside and not paying much attention to it, 001 struggled hard, bleeding all over the floor again. Tired of struggling, it collapsed on the experimental table, panting, and stared at Xiao Yubai fiercely.
"Gululu, gurulu..."
What's that sound? Xiao Yubai came back to his senses with some confusion, and looked towards 001's belly rising and falling in the direction of the sound.
"Are you hungry?"
She thought for a moment, then pulled out a pink reagent from her bosom and shook it under 001's violent golden eyes.
"This is a strawberry-flavored nutritional supplement. It tastes good. I'll help you untie it later. Don't scream, and I'll feed you. Okay?"
The golden pupils stared at the pink liquid without blinking, just like two balls of golden flames. The fireworks seemed to tremble and unexpectedly became quiet.
Xiao Yubai knew that it agreed.
Even though 001 couldn't understand human language at this moment, eating is an animal's instinct, so it could guess what she meant.
The pink reagent was poured into its mouth. It choked a little, but did not stop swallowing at all.
Crunch! The moment it finished drinking the nutrient solution, it bared its teeth and quickly bit her finger.
Xiao Yubai immediately withdrew his hand and covered its mouth again.
Really, now her brain is better and she can think strategically, right? If she was a moment later, her fingers would be broken.
Xiao Yubai didn't know what to think for a moment. He could only...
Boom! She knocked 001 unconscious.
The light twisted and swayed, about to step into darkness. Scales exploded on the scarred hand, and it stubbornly grabbed at Xiao Yubai's white sleeve.
The arm fell down weakly, and it failed to catch it after all.
