As expected, Lu Yuan didn't have to wait long before the assistant in the white coat handed him a name tag.
"Hello, this is your work badge. You'll need this badge to come to work here from now on. We'll take these two chickens back for a while to conduct research and see if we can breed a new batch of adult chickens as soon as possible. That way, we can release these chickens to various places as soon as possible to alleviate the damage caused to us by the bloodthirsty black beetles!"
The young man spoke to Lu Yuan with a somewhat excited expression.
However, Lu Yuan was secretly troubled. Was it just a verbal commendation, and an assistant at that? How disrespectful! And that was it, just a work badge? Nothing else seemed to be mentioned. And he seemed to have become a member of their lab, but he didn't seem to have done much research on any of the experiments. All he had done was provide two chickens.
The other party seemed to sense Lu Yuan's dissatisfaction, so he said with a smile, "Don't worry, now that you've provided these two chickens, we won't make you do any other work. This work badge will be your symbol of identity from now on. You'll just have to come here to clock in every day, but you can come and go freely in the office without any restrictions. And with this identity, you can get 1,000 centimeters every month, which you can use to exchange for food and other things."
Lu Yuan nodded, then looked at his work badge, which showed his work number and department. Lu Yuan wasn't actually interested in the studio; he was more interested in the new materials research and development office. If he could get in touch with that place, then the two chickens wouldn't have been a waste. Besides, his main purpose in coming here was to find the woman called Sister Xia. There was still no news about Du Heng, but he wasn't in a hurry.
Back at his residence, Lu Yuan was still asleep the next morning when there was a knock on his door.
When Lu Yuan opened the door after getting up, he saw Gu Tong standing in front of the door, looking at him with excitement and mystery.
"Come in and let's talk!" Seeing the other person's expression, Lu Yuan felt a surge of excitement and led him into his room.
Gu Tong pulled a crumpled piece of paper from his trouser leg and handed it to Lu Yuan.
"This is a partial list of personnel I obtained. It's not a large list. I processed part of the list last night. These are people who haven't entered the survivor base yet. Their identities are all very special. Some are research and development staff from the materials department, and others are scholars in biological research and virology."
Lu Yuan glanced at the list he received. It contained about twenty names and addresses, clearly a handwritten copy, probably copied down by Gu Tong.
Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction, then put the note back and said to Gu Tong, "Thank you for your hard work. Go back and get some rest. I'll get you lunch!"
Gu Tong nodded, then turned and went back to her room. Lu Yuan looked at the slips of paper in his hand. There were already more than twenty. If he could get another batch of researchers, then he wouldn't attract other people's attention if he wanted to keep some of his little secrets from being revealed.
After all, he also wanted to know why the creatures in his professional space were growing so rapidly—whether it was due to a change in their genes or some other reason.
On the third day, Lu Yuan officially began preparing for work. Early in the morning, Lu Yuan put on his name tag and entered the office building with a group of people who were in a hurry. However, when everyone saw him, they were all surprised. Some of them had even seen Lu Yuan fighting with Sun Laosan the day before yesterday.
"Isn't this the guy who fought with that old man Sun the other day? How come he works in this lab building? I've never heard of him before!"
"Oh, him? He's the new guy. I heard the office that's dealing with the Bloodthirsty Black Beetles has a new solution. He brought in two chickens specifically to eat the Bloodthirsty Black Beetles!"
"What? He has chickens and can eat black beetles? Really? Where did you hear this? Is it accurate?"
"Of course it's accurate. My cousin is one of the assistants there, and he's seen this kid with his own eyes."
The crowd whispered among themselves, glancing at Lu Yuan every now and then, but Lu Yuan didn't seem to care much. He followed the crowd into the office building, then, following suit, scanned his name tag at the entrance to unlock the door, and headed towards the fifth floor.
Thanks to Lu Yuan's timely provision of the two chickens, the previously quiet and uneventful Bloodthirsty Black Beetle Research Office has now become bustling with activity.
Then Lu Yuan saw that the middle-aged man with glasses from yesterday had brought several more people with him.
"Haha, Lu Yuan, you've come at the right time. Let me introduce you. These people are all from our office. Now that we reported the Bloodthirsty Black Beetle incident, the higher-ups are paying more and more attention to it. They've even allocated us a small house. Today, let's all tidy up the house together and prepare to go to the new office to research these two chickens. Let's see if we can get them out as soon as possible. And we've also got the support of the people in the Biological Genetics Research Office."
Then the others nodded to Lu Yuan, and Lu Yuan grinned in response. However, Lu Yuan didn't have anything to move. He had only brought two chickens with him, and now they had taken those chickens away. He had come empty-handed and could only help them pack up their other things.
