Chapter 335 Deep Virtual Reality 163
Upon arriving at Canaan Hospital, He Yan, who had received the news, was already waiting at the hospital entrance.
"How about it?"
He Yan's expression was not good. "Director Xie, the one who appeared on South Street is Hei Linmu. Assistant Zhou's child was hurt by Hei Linmu. Her husband died because he was not rescued in time. And the injuries on her husband's body... seem to have been caused by that mutated spider."
Xie Ning paused, "Isn't Director Xu over there?"
"It was there. When we arrived, Director Xu was able to control the mutated spiders, and there were no surveillance cameras there, so it was difficult for us to know exactly what happened at that time."
"Ding—" The elevator doors opened, and Xie Ning and He Yan walked through the long corridor to the door of Zhou Qin's son's ward.
"How is it? What did the doctor say?" Xie Ning placed the flower basket on the table beside her.
Looking at her pale-faced child and thinking of her deceased husband, Zhou Qin forced back her grief and said, "The doctor said most of his wounds have healed, but the cut on his shoulder is poisonous, and the hospital's medicine can't cure it. They are trying to find a solution."
Do you have photos of the wound?
“Yes.” Zhou Qin pulled up the photo the doctor had sent her and forwarded it to Xie Ning.
“This wound is clearly not caused by Blackscale.” Zhou Qin pursed her lips. She knew a fair amount about alien creatures and could naturally tell the difference at a glance.
"Contact Director Xu, in order to..." Xie Ning glanced down at the child lying on the bed, "...as a family member of the victim."
The communication was quickly connected, and Xie Ning pulled He Yan to stand in the blind spot to watch Zhou Qin and Director Xu's conversation.
Seeing the injured patients in the hospital beds, Director Xu also thought of the citizens who were accidentally injured while the experimental subjects were chasing the alien creatures, and his head suddenly started to ache.
If it were an ordinary person, it would be fine; he had already settled the matter with money for the other wounded and the dead. But Zhou Qin was Xie Ning's assistant, and her husband had died. Now, it was uncertain whether her child would survive, which was a bit of a problem.
"Assistant Zhou, I am also heartbroken by this situation, but the situation was urgent at the time. In order to kill the alien creature as soon as possible and protect the safety of more people... the experimental subject accidentally injured several citizens during the pursuit."
This was all an accident, and there was nothing we could do about it. But it was ultimately our mistake, and we will compensate you—whether it's money or something else, just name your price.
If it weren't for Zhou Qin's connection with Xie Ning, he wouldn't even bother to bribe her, since she wouldn't be able to cause any trouble anyway. However, since they are currently cooperating and he still needs to use the drones designed by Xie Ning to detect more alien creatures, he doesn't mind saying a few more words and offering some compensation.
Zhou Qin could easily see through Director Xu's meaning, and her expression grew increasingly cold.
Just as she was about to refuse, she saw Xie Ning, who was standing in the corner, nod, signaling her to agree, "Ask him for the money."
Although she didn't understand, Zhou Qin subconsciously did as Xie Ning said.
"Why?" Zhou Qin asked, puzzled.
Xie Ning looked at the rain outside the window and said coldly, "If there is compensation, why not take it? Taking the compensation will make your life better. Besides, since the other party cannot control their experimental subjects from hurting people, then they should not be kept alive."
Perhaps it's not that they can't control it, but that they don't want to.
Because I don't care.
She also had oversights. Although she installed an additional destruction program, she still couldn't monitor whether the other party's experimental subjects were harming people at all times. It would be better to solve the problem once and for all.
