Chapter 167: Anatomy
"An Jing, can you take us in?" Zhou Wen turned his gaze to An Jing. At this moment, he didn't care about much else.
Now Zhou Wen is afraid that the military has already performed an autopsy on the body, and then everything will be over.
"Okay, but I have a condition." An Jing said after thinking for a while.
"I agree to fight you. Take me in now." Zhou Wen said immediately.
"I didn't say I wanted to fight you." An Jing said somewhat unexpectedly to Zhou Wen.
"Then what do you want?" Zhou Wen frowned.
"I haven't thought about it yet. Just consider it as you owe me a condition. I'll tell you when I think it through." After An Jing said this, she didn't wait for Zhou Wen to urge her and walked straight to the door.
"Hello, please show your ID." The two soldiers guarding the gate obviously recognized An Jing, but after saluting, they still kept An Jing outside and did not let her in directly.
An Jing seemed to have known this would happen and did not react in particular. She took out an ID from her pocket, and then the soldier let An Jing pass, allowing Zhou Wen and Li Xuan to enter the base.
An Jing asked where the bodies were placed and walked over. She was obviously familiar with the military base here.
Zhou Wen was somewhat glad that An Jing was here. Otherwise, the base was so large that even if he and Li Xuan could get in, it would not be easy to find a place to store the bodies.
Zhou Wen was walking while looking at his phone, and saw five flower buds blooming on the dead tree that was flashing red light.
The flower buds also look like they are carved from rubies, which makes them even more dazzling and radiates an evil aura. Through the ruby-like petals, one can faintly see that there seems to be something inside, like a beating heart.
"How many classmates died?" Zhou Wen asked.
"Five." Li Xuan thought for a moment and then answered.
Zhou Wen was almost certain that the deaths of Wang Lu and the other five were related to the five flowers on the dead tree, but Zhou Wen didn't know what the five flowers meant, nor did he know what to do. He could only make plans after seeing the bodies of Wang Lu and the others.
Inside the morgue, Deputy Governor Qin Wufu and several epic-level warriors stationed at Sunset College were listening to the forensic examination report.
"There are no obvious external wounds or symptoms, and no findings were found through X-ray. Now we can only perform an autopsy and then see the results," said forensic pathologist Yan Zhen.
"No, it cannot be dissected." An epic-level strong man immediately denied Yan Zhen's words with a very firm tone.
"Without an autopsy, it would be difficult to find out the real cause of death." Yan Zhen said slowly.
"The daughter of the Wang family died here inexplicably. If we perform an autopsy on her body, how will we explain it to the Wang family when they come?" said the previous epic strong man.
"Wang Lu's body cannot be dissected, so we can dissect the other four people's bodies first." Yan Zhen said.
"That's fine." The epic warrior's tone softened a lot.
"It cannot be dissected." Qin Wufu denied Yan Zhen's statement.
"Why can't we do an autopsy?" Yan Zhen looked at Qin Wufu and asked.
"Although their body functions have been stopped, there is still a trace of life in their bodies. They may not be truly dead now. What's the difference between dissecting them and killing them?" Qin Wufu said lightly.
Yan Zhen laughed after hearing this. "Deputy Governor, if we don't dissect them now, we won't be able to find out why they're in this state. Then what's the difference between them and the dead? Now we only need to dissect the other four students, and we might be able to find the cause. Maybe we can even save Wang Lu. Isn't this the best option right now?"
Several epic-level officers also thought that this plan seemed pretty good. If they could rescue Wang Lu, their troubles would be much less.
"We need to save Wang Lu, and we need to save the others too." Qin Wufu stared at Yan Zhen and said.
"Please forgive me for being unable to help you." Yan Zhen said lightly.
"You all go out. I want to talk to Doctor Yan alone." Qin Wufu waved his hand and asked everyone to leave the morgue, leaving only him and Yan Zhen inside.
At this time, Qin Wufu stared at Yan Zhen and said coldly, "Yan Zhen, I know you can save them. You want to dissect them just to know what kind of power has turned them into what they are now."
"Deputy Governor, you think too highly of me, Yan Zhen. I'm just a doctor, not a god. I don't even know what kind of injuries they have suffered, so how can I save them?" Yan Zhen pushed the frame of his glasses and said with an unchanged expression.
"Tell me, what conditions do you want in order to save them?" Qin Wufu frowned.
"No conditions. Dissect four and save one." Yan Zhen stared at the five bodies, licked his lips, and said indifferently.
"They are living people, not your experimental subjects." Qin Wufu's face showed anger.
"If I save them, they are living people. If I don't save them, they are dead. Using dead people as experimental subjects was not a big deal even in the peaceful times before, let alone now." Yan Zhen's tone sounded as if he was saying something that was as it should be.
Qin Wufu's face turned ashen with anger. If he didn't know Yan Zhen and his past, he would have pulled out his gun and shot the hateful guy in front of him.
But he couldn't do that now. The only one who could save these five students was Yan Zhen.
Suppressing his rage, Qin Wufu said coldly, "Save these five students, and I will ask you to use the bodies of the dead soldiers for your experiments."
"No, I want these four experimental subjects." Yan Zhen decisively rejected Qin Wufu, and there seemed to be no room for negotiation.
"Isn't it what you have always wanted to do experiments using the remains of dead soldiers? If you miss this opportunity, you will never get a second chance. Is it worth it to give up just to dissect these four students?" Qin Wufu stared at Yan Zhen and said.
"It's worth it. The conditions of these five people are very strange. Dissecting them may be of great help to my research. I want to see what kind of power is at work." Yan Zhen said.
"I will never give you this opportunity." Qin Wufu said angrily.
"You have no choice. If I don't save them, Wang Lu will die too. Let Wang Lu die with the four of them, or let the four of them die and Wang Lu live. Deputy Governor Qin, you make your own choice." Yan Zhen looked at Qin Wufu firmly, as if he had Qin Wufu in his grasp.
Qin Wufu stared at Yan Zhen intently, wishing he could kill this bastard with one blow, but he knew that even if he killed Yan Zhen it would be useless. Yan Zhen would never surrender unless he achieved his goal, and killing him would make the same difference.
What's more, if Yan Zhen is killed, even Wang Lu will be unable to be saved.
Just when Qin Wufu was about to give in, he suddenly heard the door of the morgue being pushed open. He couldn't help but get angry and shouted coldly: "Get out! Who let you in?"
