Dean Wei stared directly at Xiao Jin, but after a long while he couldn't detect any joking in her eyes. His displeasure gradually faded, replaced by a solemn and expectant expression. He slowly walked towards Xiao Jin.
"Child! Are you telling the truth? How can you prove it?"
Xiao Jin shook his head: "There is only one injection, so I cannot prove it. However, you can learn about us with Researcher Qiu first."
At this point, Xiao Jin glanced at Zhang Qiuwen.
Dean Wei turned his head and looked at his disciple with a puzzled expression. Zhang Qiuwen's expression was very complicated.
If someone told him that such a medicine existed, Zhang Qiuwen would definitely think they were making it up. But since the words came from Xiao Jin, Zhang Qiuwen couldn't help but hesitate.
He immediately thought of the password box that Mao Liu had hidden out of thin air before. He was certain that Xiao Jin and the others had a big secret, and perhaps the matter of the medicine was also true?
If they had such a drug, could they research and decipher its ingredients to produce more of these life-saving drugs?
Therefore, when faced with the teacher's question, Zhang Qiuwen did not immediately give a negative answer.
Dean Wei immediately understood, and a huge wave of emotions surged within him.
He turned to Xiao Jin and asked, "What are your conditions?"
Those around were shocked. What was going on? Old Wei actually believed this kid's nonsense!
Xiao Jin: "The conditions are not difficult. We are newcomers and have no place to stay, so we want to find a place to stay."
Dean Wei was speechless, and even the others stared wide-eyed at Xiao Jin.
That's...that's it?
But they were too complacent.
"I think this place is fine. Dean Wei, could you please clear out a room for us in the laboratory? It doesn't need to be big, just enough for the few of us."
Only after hearing this did Mao Liu understand Xiao Jin's thoughts.
It turns out she wanted to use the laboratory to get through the upcoming extreme heat!
The group was secretly amazed. As expected of a big shot, he was thinking long-term. If he could really stay, the 15 points would have been well spent!
As the head of the laboratory, Dean Wei had the right to let Xiao Jin and the others stay, albeit temporarily as unstaffed researchers.
They don't need to do anything; they just need to stay put.
After half an hour of discussion, Dean Wei still couldn't resist the temptation of the nano-therapy needles and agreed to Xiao Jin's conditions.
However, if they wanted to stay in the laboratory, they had to follow the laboratory rules. Xiao Jin and the others only had the right to reside there; they could not move around freely, nor could they participate in the laboratory's research.
Xiao Jin naturally had no objections.
As she was leaving, Xiao Jin stood in front of Jian Sen.
"If you really can't hold on any longer, come find me!" Xiao Jin gave a deep look at the bewildered Jian Sen.
The four were then taken to the seventh basement level, where there was an empty warehouse that hadn't been used for a long time; it was completely empty except for the cold walls.
This was Xiao Jin's request.
In addition to the 15 floors above ground, the laboratory also has 9 floors underground. The bottom floor is a key experimental area, which Xiao Jin cannot go to. As a second choice, there happened to be an empty room on the 7th underground floor, so Xiao Jin chose this place.
The lab staff were completely baffled. Who would choose to live in a warehouse instead of their perfectly good room? However, the dean had already given his word to grant Xiao Jin's request.
"This place has been cleaned up. I'll have someone bring you some essential supplies, it'll be ready soon." The young researcher escorted Xiao Jin and the others to the 7th basement level before preparing to leave.
Xiao Jin called out to him, "Wait a moment."
"Is there anything else?"
Xiao Jin pointed to an open space not far away and said, "You can send the supplies as you see fit. It doesn't need to be too complicated. Just enough to meet our survival needs."
"Could you build a swimming pool for me on that open space? I know your lab has the sealing materials to do it. It shouldn't be too small; it needs to be big enough to hold several of us at once."
"Huh???" The researcher thought he was hallucinating, and felt dizzy as he walked out.
Mao Liu looked around. It was nice; it was large and quiet.
Xu Qing released the little spiders to explore inside the warehouse, and after a while, all the little spiders crawled back.
“It’s very clean here, there are no surveillance cameras or listening devices,” he said to Xiao Jin.
"Um."
The floor had just been swept, and the items hadn't been brought in yet, so the group could only sit on the floor.
Mao Liu looked at Xiao Jin: "Boss, is this the shelter you were looking for?"
"Isn't it good?" Xiao Jin replied calmly, "Backed by the government, with abundant resources and strong military, the materials here are all top-notch. No matter what happens above, the possibility of the laboratory being affected is very low."
The power is still on here. Things have stabilized outside for now, but chaos will soon return.
Mao Liu and the others nodded in agreement.
Xu Qing: "What about the big swimming pool?"
To be honest, Xiao Jin's words just now startled him. As for Pan Peng, regardless of what Xiao Jin wanted to do, he had already been lying down all the way, so whatever the big boss said was right!
Xiao Jin didn't speak, but Mao Liu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly chuckled.
...
Afterwards, the lab moved the bed and supplies into the warehouse. It was quite a while before the previous researcher came back to find Xiao Jin.
It seemed that even the people above hadn't expected Xiao Jin to make such an absurd request, so they went to ask Old Wei again.
"Uh... the swimming pool thing has been approved, and we'll get it done for you as soon as possible." The researcher gave Xiao Jin a strange look.
Xiao Jin sat on the bed, leaning against the headboard: "Thank you, I have no other requests."
The researchers visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
It's fine if it's not there!
For the next few days, Xiao Jin and the others stayed in the warehouse as promised, never going out, seemingly showing no interest whatsoever in such a top-tier national laboratory.
They spent their days eating and drinking, practicing real combat with Mao Liu, beating him black and blue. If it weren't for the sudden power outage, they probably would have continued like this indefinitely.
That was the second to last day before the game ended.
Because Xiao Jin and the others had been hiding underground, they were unaware of the situation outside.
The day after they moved into the lab, the outside temperature continued to rise, finally reaching 60 degrees Celsius, both during the day and at night.
Humans cannot survive in the outside environment. In the area near the capital, any survivors that can be found have been placed in underground shelters that were dug in advance.
The shelter was small and very basic due to the passage of time, but the temperature of over 40 degrees Celsius was quite comfortable for the outside world.
