Chapter 218 Outbreak
In the end, Ruan Xi was persuaded. He planned to go to the research center that General He asked him to go to first to see the situation.
He was not convinced by the deep hatred between General He and Wu Yongshan, but he was really bored of being locked up. After all, no matter how many simulations he did in his mind, it could not compare to an actual operation, and he was really itching to do it.
I think Mr. He must have done it on purpose. He locked him up in this small suite and provided him with enough daily necessities, but he didn't give him anything that was not related to daily life. He was definitely trying to trick him.
"Mr. Ruan, are you really going to the research center?" Wu Yongshan looked happy but a little bit unbelieving, which seemed a little funny. However, he was very honest and did not hide his emotions at all.
"Well, lead the way quickly. I'm afraid I'll suffocate if I stay here any longer." After saying that, Ruan Xi pushed Wu Yongshan towards the door. Without taking anything with him, he went to the research center empty-handed.
When I arrived at the research center, there were already people waiting at the gate. There were several familiar faces, and each of them looked very excited.
Unfortunately, they were destined to be disappointed today.
"Stop! I'm not here to do research with you, I just want to take a tour. It's enough for him to accompany me." Ruan Xi stated his purpose without any hesitation. He didn't care about the disappointed expressions of those familiar faces. He pointed at Wu Yongshan with a calm look.
However, Ruan Xi had no intention of forcing his way in. He just quietly waited for their reaction until they nodded and let him in. Then Ruan Xi pulled Wu Yongshan to continue walking inside, saying, "I'm not good at remembering the way, please don't get lost with me."
What Ruan Xi said was absolutely the truth, but unfortunately no one believed him and just thought he was mocking and attacking him. Several backbone members of the scientific research center could only watch his back as he gradually disappeared from their sight.
"Dean, is Doctor Ruan deliberately going against us? I thought he really changed his mind..."
"Maybe he's just embarrassed for the moment. If not, why not talk to him again? I think he's pretty easy to talk to!"
"You're so easy to talk to. You've already cooperated with us. You're thinking too much."
"I just feel that he has come to our territory and dares to be so arrogant. Who gave him the face..."
The last words sounded a bit discordant. For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on the young man who said this. No one said anything, but just looked at him silently and left quietly. No one wanted to ask him to join them.
This young researcher is called Xing Tao. He was just referred to the research center. No one in his family died in the war with alien races, but his best friend since childhood was mistakenly killed because of the siege of the He family by several aristocratic families. The hatred is quite deep. What's more, he happened to know the truth of the matter back then. Therefore, until today, he still cannot let it go and is obsessed with avenging his good friend.
He firmly believed that following General He was the best way to take revenge.
Xing Tao looked at his colleagues and leaders who were leaving, then looked at the direction Ruan Xi had left. He couldn't help but clench his fists, with a hint of hatred flashing in his eyes.
On the other side, Ruan Xi was touring the first to fourth floors of the research center with great interest, and was reluctant to leave. The only bad thing was that the more he visited, the more he felt itchy, and he could hardly control his wild power.
Fortunately, the visit to the research center is time-limited. People get off work at five o'clock, so his visit must end before four o'clock, and he must leave the research center building. If he was not detained at the base where the research center is located, he would probably have been escorted out of the base with first-class service.
Well, if he could really be sent out of the base, it wouldn't be a bad thing. Perhaps, he could find a chance to go to the He family mansion to see He Jun who was imprisoned.
But it is obvious that wishes are good and reality is cruel. Looking at the familiar small suite, Ruan Xi sighed melancholy and did not notice that Wu Yongshan had not left yet and the guard outside the door was staring at him.
"Mr. Ruan..."
"Come on, stop calling me Mr. Ruan. It sounds awkward. Just call me Doctor Ruan. It sounds better." Ruan Xi had tolerated this title for the whole day, but he was so excited about the tour that he was too lazy to correct it.
Now that the tour was over and he had returned to his boredom, this question naturally had to be brought up.
Wu Yongshan: “…” He was speechless for a moment and didn’t know how to react.
After a long silence, he called out, "Doctor Ruan, you should get some rest. I'm leaving first. If you have anything, you can talk to the guard outside."
"Go to bed early? Go to sleep now?" Ruan Xi couldn't help rolling her eyes, waving her hand in disgust, letting Wu Yongshan leave, until the sound of the door closing was heard. After a while, Ruan Xi sighed, turned around, and stared at the door in a daze for a long time.
He had no idea whether the door was locked or not. This was General He's territory, and he had nowhere to run even if he wanted to. After all, he was a person with poor directionality, and he would lose himself before others would be lost.
The next morning, Wu Yongshan was waiting outside Ruan Xi's door. When he saw him open the door, he immediately put on his signature simple smile and asked, "Doctor Ruan, are you still going to visit the research center today?"
Although he said this honestly, Ruan Xi felt a lump in his throat and almost couldn't breathe.
Sure enough, honest and straightforward people are naturally evil, right? This ordinary sentence can make him feel almost dead, what a skill!
"Well, today, I will start my tour from the seventh floor." The research center belongs to the scientific research department starting from the seventh floor, and all research project offices and laboratories are concentrated there.
Wu Yongshan was stunned when he heard this. After a long while, he stammered, "This is not good..." The first to fourth floors are the production center, which has nothing to do with technology or anything, so there is nothing wrong with visiting it. However, above the seventh floor, there is the scientific research department involving confidential information. Can people visit it casually?
Ruan Xi didn't care about all this and urged Wu Yongshan to send him to the research center. Just when Wu Yongshan was struggling to figure out how to persuade Ruan Xi not to cause trouble, several bigwigs from the research center who were waiting for Ruan Xi at the door yesterday appeared again.
"Doctor Ruan, are you interested in visiting my lab? The genetic experiment I'm in charge of has just achieved some initial results."
"Doctor Ruan, I have prepared a new genetic medicine. Could you give me some guidance?"
"Doctor Ruan, I just happened to have a problem with my medicine. I wonder if you would be so kind as to offer me some guidance?"
A group of bigwigs from the research institute, even the dean, gathered around and asked Ruan Xi to visit and give them guidance. Wu Yongshan was completely stunned when he heard this. He stood there stupidly, having forgotten who he was and where he was.
"...Okay, I'm free anyway." There's nothing wrong with visiting and guiding, but if it involves parts that shouldn't be involved, he still won't let go.
When it comes to matters of principle, he always keeps a line of defense in his mind.
The people in the research institute were obviously very sensible. The problems and difficulties put before Ruan Xi did not touch his bottom line and perfectly avoided his principles. They turned a visiting and guidance activity that could have gone wrong at any time into a serious academic exchange.
Ruan Xi was a little surprised by this, but still quite satisfied.
"Sorry, I'm going to the bathroom." Ruan Xi gave a lecture with great interest and drank a lot of water, so going to the bathroom was inevitable. No one followed him closely, but when he came out, he met Xing Tao.
"Doctor Ruan, I also have some questions I would like to ask you. Could you please go to my laboratory?" Xing Tao is a genius in genetic research. Although he is new, he also has his own laboratory. At this moment, his eyes were full of eagerness when he looked at Ruan Xi, but Ruan Xi felt that his eyes were a little cold.
However, he did not refuse Xing Tao's invitation. After coming out of the bathroom, he followed him directly.
Ruan Xi felt that Xing Tao's obvious hostility towards him was a poor disguise, which could be seen through at a glance. He was clearly very disgusted, yet he had to put on an eager appearance. It would be strange if he didn't give himself away.
Ruan Xi didn't care much about such people. However, his calmness only lasted until the moment before he stepped into Xing Tao's laboratory.
Looking at the rows of petri dishes in the laboratory and the artificial aliens in the dishes, Ruan Xi felt a fire suddenly ignite in his heart.
Ruan Xi suppressed his anger and asked in a deep voice, "Did you research these artificial alien races?"
"Yes, the admiral specially commended me for this research result. However, there are still some problems with the genetic structure of these artificial aliens. I think..." Xing Tao was about to start talking nonstop, but when he turned around and saw Ruan Xi's expression, he froze.
When he saw Ruan Xi yesterday, he only felt that Ruan Xi was a weak and powerless person, even a little childish, but today, he felt that he was almost frostbitten by the cold air emanating from Ruan Xi.
This aura was really unlike what Ruan Xi could emit, making him feel inexplicably scared, and his mouth was not very obedient.
"What are you thinking? These artificial aliens are flawed from the very beginning. Even if they were created as cannon fodder, they are still independent beings. Since they exist, no one can judge their lives except themselves. How can you say that so nonchalantly? How different are you from those cruel aliens?"
Ruan Xi never thought that aliens were worthy of forgiveness, but some of the actions of humans, such as the emergence of artificial aliens, were even more hateful than the actions of aliens. Such disregard for life would sooner or later bring about a catastrophe for humanity.
Does Xing Tao have the entire ocean in his head? It must be all water!
Xing Tao was a little confused, but when he came to his senses, he immediately started to defend himself with a red face and thick neck.
"What do you know? This is called giving someone a taste of their own medicine! If the aliens can create a parasite, why can't we create an artificial alien? Let the aliens fight the aliens, this is the correct strategy!"
"But are you using these artificial aliens to fight aliens? You're only dealing with your fellow humans!"
With every extra word Ruan Xi said, he felt that breathing became more difficult. He was so angry that his brain seemed to be lacking oxygen, and even a few stars appeared in front of his eyes from time to time.
Their quarrel soon attracted other people from the research center, and by coincidence, even General He showed up in the end.
Looking at Ruan Xi, who was so angry that he had difficulty breathing, General He was a little surprised. For a moment, he didn't know what conflict had happened that could make Ruan Xi so angry, so he subconsciously went up to him and wanted to give him some advice.
As a result, Ruan Xi turned around and directly attacked General He.
"General He, is this what you call revenge? Since you can't find the culprits right now, you're using these weirdos to deal with your fellow humans?"
