"Could someone have tampered with the list while Uncle Lin was sick?" Yu Zhen retorted, "I heard before I came that Uncle Lin was still in the hospital."
"Uncle Lin is sick? When did this happen? How serious is it? Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Zhou Siyu couldn't hide her worry, and the emotion written on her face made Zhou Yu a little jealous.
"I don't know. I only heard from my mother that he was overworked and fainted in the lab. But I haven't been in contact with my family recently, so I don't know anything about Uncle Lin's condition."
Yu Zhen's mother, Lorna Ya, is the deputy director of the Interstellar Police Department, Yu Mao's wife, and a former count of the Nuolan Empire. She is a stunningly beautiful woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, who looks no more than forty years old, even though she is nearly sixty.
Zhou Siyu had met her once at the Yu family banquet, where she was thoroughly humiliated by her sharp rebuke and wished she could disappear into a hole in the ground.
However, she has a sharp tongue but a soft heart. On the surface, she dislikes Zhou Siyu, but behind his back, she helps him solve a lot of troubles and supports him both openly and secretly.
"That's impossible. Even if he fainted, it's impossible to get authorization without his approval."
"Oh, never mind where my authorization came from. The most urgent thing is to find something that can solve the Kao virus."
The Kao virus is too contagious. If it is not dealt with as soon as possible, it will cause a large-scale outbreak in the base.
"My advice is to get out of here as soon as possible; this whole thing is too bizarre."
Zhou Yu still couldn't figure it out. His intuition told him that the person who could authorize Zhou Siyu was crucial.
"No, I haven't found what I'm looking for yet."
"What are you looking for?" Zhou Yu rubbed his temples and checked the time. "Find it as soon as possible, then leave this place."
"The Etolan Lab's research on mermaid genes, as well as other materials related to gene research, are also available."
He hadn't forgotten his promise to Ji Han, who was a vengeful person. Although Ji Han had hired people to monitor him, he had to admit that those people did serve a little purpose as human shields.
Moreover, having access to the information gives him a greater advantage at the negotiating table.
"Mermaid?"
"Yes, it is said that researchers at the Etolan Lab have created a hybrid of human and mermaid through gene editing and hybridization. It has the appearance of a mermaid but can survive out of water."
Mermaids' stunning beauty aroused envy, and nobles in the imperial era took pleasure in raising mermaids. The more beautiful, rarer, and higher-class the mermaid, the higher its price.
Countless people flocked to starfish to capture mermaids, but starfish were far away, and many mermaids died during transportation, making it impossible to meet market demand.
The head of the Etolan Labs saw this business opportunity and began a series of insane experiments.
The artificial mermaid caused a huge stir in the mermaid market as soon as it was introduced. Compared to wild mermaids, which cost thousands of dollars and are difficult to tame, artificial mermaids are cheaper, easier to train, and can be taken out and shown off like pets without having to spend a lot of money to take care of them. Many small businessmen who wanted to keep mermaids but did not have enough funds turned to artificial mermaids, and the head of the Etolan Laboratory also made a fortune.
"Those things are neither human nor fish, there's no point in looking for that information." Zhou Yu scratched the back of his head. "Besides, artificial mermaids were already extinct when the Alliance was first established, so why are you looking for these things?"
"Extinct?"
"Yes, although we don't know why, the former chairman of the alliance and a few others made a decision to hunt down all artificial mermaids."
"I am useful."
Zhou Siyu didn't intend to tell him about the deal between him and Ji Han. He never cared about the process, only the result.
Like this time, even if no one gives him authorization, he will find other ways to get it, but it will just take more time.
He will use every means and any method to get what he wants.
Finding a solution to the Kao virus was only one of his goals; what he really wanted was all the data from King Etolan's immortality experiments.
The Etolan Empire spent over a century and invested enormous resources and manpower; it's impossible that they came away empty-handed.
No one is unafraid of death, and he was no exception, because after death all the wealth and power he possessed would change hands, and he could not accept such an outcome.
Ever since learning that Yu Wei might be immortal, his obsession with immortality has grown stronger. Just as he saw in the illusion, many people will appear around the immortal Yu Wei, but he will forget him and never remember him again.
He won't accept it! He can't accept it.
Yuwei can only belong to him, whether he is alive or dead, he can only belong to him alone, and no one else can touch it.
These were the evil thoughts he kept hidden in his heart, and he would not tell anyone, let alone let Yu Wei know.
He doesn't have much time left; he needs to find a way to survive or be reborn in the remaining months.
The outbreak of the Kao virus on the seventeenth planet made it difficult to get a chance, and he wanted to fight for himself one more time.
"Oh, that'll be hard to find." Zhou Yu pouted, rolled his eyes, and thought for a moment: "The lab has tens of millions of records, so it's very difficult to find them."
"Let's go to the archives first." Zhou Siyu made up her mind and looked at Zhou Yu. "Do you know where it is?"
He has a living map, so he's too lazy to even look at the map.
"Come with me."
Zhou Yu nodded. He wasn't interested in written materials or artificial mermaids, so he wouldn't spend time looking at the information. However, having lived there for over twenty years, he knew the way to every place by heart.
The three of them walked all the way to the last floor, which, unlike the floors above, consisted of only one huge room.
As Zhou Siyu had expected, the room was filled with countless tall bookshelves, piled high with research materials.
Strangely enough, the Etolan Empire, as the most technologically advanced of the four great empires, had its national laboratory's data all in paper form, with all research data being printed out and stored.
"I'll go take a look over there."
Zhou Siyu patted his face, perked up, walked to the search table, and after some operation, successfully found research materials on artificial mermaids, as well as a large amount of data on experiments on immortality and resurrection.
“There’s too much data. I’ve sent you a program that can directly convert paper documents into electronic data for storage.” Zhou Siyu stepped down from the retrieval station and pointed to several places: “The data is in these places. Let’s split up and look for it. Yu Zhen, you go this way, and I’ll go that way.”
Yu Zhen nodded and walked to his assigned area, where Zhou Yu waited eagerly for Zhou Siyu to assign him tasks.
"Could you please go over there?"
Zhou Siyu pointed in the opposite direction from Yu Zhen.
The spark in Zhou Yu's eyes instantly died down. He desperately wanted to hear that title from Zhou Siyu's mouth, desperately wanted Zhou Siyu to call him "Dad".
Unfortunately, it seems unlikely at present.
