Chapter 268 Nobel
Zhao Yunduo did not kill Mike, which made Shen Linglan and system S109 breathe a sigh of relief.
It’s just that one is worried that Zhao Yunduo will be electrocuted, and the other is worried that he will be electrocuted.
When Shen Linglan woke up from a nap, her cell phone was almost blown up by calls from unfamiliar numbers.
She scrolled down for a long time before she saw the bottom of the list of missed numbers.
However, she did not call back any of the calls, but instead called her assistant Chen Mengxue.
"Sister Chen, what happened?"
Her cell phone may have more than twenty missed calls, and Chen Mengxue's will only be several times more, not less.
Chen Mengxue seemed to be outside, and there was a lot of noise around her.
"Boss, please don't go out recently. If you need anything, I'll help you..." She paused, as if she was talking to someone next to her, "Make way, don't block me. If you have any questions, please go to the government department yourself. SZ Biosciences can't tell you."
Amidst the chaotic sounds around, one question stood out clearly.
"Ms. Chen, is this Ms. Shen Linglan from SZ on the line? Can you put me on hold so I can ask a few questions?"
Chen Mengxue's voice was exceptionally cold.
"Sorry, I can't."
After a while, Chen Mengxue's voice rang out again. The surroundings around her became much quieter, and her voice regained its warmth: "Boss, the media has learned about what happened in Hessen Prison."
"What!?"
Shen Linglan's sleepiness disappeared, and she sat up, "Who leaked it?"
"Minister Song said that the prison may have informed the family, and the family casually mentioned it online, but they didn't expect that a reporter would actually go to the Heisen Prison to investigate and find the zombies inside."
"Didn't they sign a confidentiality agreement?"
"Yes, so Minister Song has already sent people to investigate the details of the person who leaked the information. It is estimated that the prison police who leaked the information will be sued and imprisoned."
However, no matter how severe the punishment is, it cannot undo the facts that have been leaked.
Shen Linglan asked herself, if it were herself two or three years ago, when she was an intern earning 2,000 yuan a month, and she knew that a zombie had appeared somewhere in the country, she wondered how scared she would be.
"Then what is the purpose of the media approaching SZ?" Shen Linglan asked.
"They know you were there at the time, and they all want to ask you what you think about the crisis. They also want to ask whether they should wait for SZ to develop a cure, or liquidate their assets and stockpile supplies."
I guess this matter had already caused an uproar on the internet before asking Shen Linglan.
"Boss, do we have to give the media any answer?" Chen Mengxue asked.
"No." Shen Linglan said bluntly, "We reject all questions from the media."
Whatever opinion, it's nothing more than trying to drag Shen Linglan and SZ down with him.
After hanging up the phone, Shen Linglan opened the social software, which already had several popular terms such as "explosive" and "hot".
Every entry has the words "zombie" and "end of the world". When you click in, you will see videos of people snatching and buying supplies. Some people cry and say they don't want to die, and some say they want to take advantage of the end of the world and do what they want to do, such as quitting their jobs and traveling.
As Shen Linglan was flipping through the books, she discovered a video shot by the culprit - a reporter who had sneaked into Heisen Prison.
The video quality was poor, black and blurry, but based on the outline and sound, it was not difficult to tell that it was a zombie.
The internet is filled with wailing, as if tomorrow really is the end of the world.
Before Shen Linglan had time to open her social account, her cell phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID showed that it was Minister Song. Shen Linglan held the phone and thought for three seconds before picking up the phone.
Minister Song said in a tired voice, "Linglan, you also know what happened last night, right?"
"yes."
"It will take me a while to clean up such a big basket. Do you have any ideas?"
Minister Song was fully engaged in fighting against her political enemies, who seized this opportunity to turn the doomed situation around. She was really powerless to deal with this sudden incident.
Shen Linglan thought for a moment and asked, "How is the progress of the experts you sent out in developing an antidote for the zombie virus?"
"It's not ideal. We are still using Professor Zhang's plan. The situation of those who have not transformed into corpses has been brought under control, but it is difficult to save those who have already transformed into corpses."
This is also the reason why Shen Linglan insisted on taking Zhang Shengnan back to SZ.
Even though Zhang Shengnan is an academically proficient and well-known figure in the industry, her understanding of the zombie virus is still not as good as Lin Xiaoyue's, who has been studying the zombie virus for many years.
Lin Xiaoyue had already thoroughly studied those problems that required time to solve.
"Minister Song, the antidote developed by Professor Zhang has entered the trial stage. If nothing goes wrong, it can be put into use in three days." Shen Linglan gave Minister Song half a reassurance pill.
"Okay Linglan, thank you and Professor Zhang's team for your hard work."
"I'll figure out a way to deal with the online public opinion." Shen Linglan also gave the other half of the reassurance pill to Minister Song.
Minister Song let out a long breath, and felt a lot more relieved. "Linglan, I owe you a favor."
“You’re welcome.”
After Shen Linglan hung up the phone, she went to the SZ Life Science Department and recorded a video using SZ's official account.
The content of the video is also very simple, which is SZ's plan for the next year.
SZ Biotech has entered the field of biotechnology in an all-round way, focusing on solving diseases that humans have not yet solved, as well as anti-aging technologies.
Shen Linglan said in the video: "It may take more than one year. The general direction of SZ will not change in the next three years."
This ordinary video also received rave reviews from netizens:
[Mr. Shen, the end of the world has come, why are you still putting aside this three-year plan? ]
[I think that human beings may become extinct in one year, not to mention three years! ]
[But I think SLL is being serious about what she said. Does she really think that humans only have three years left?]
Shen Linglan specifically responded to the last comment:
【@Netizen, of course, humans will have three years, thirty years, or three hundred years. 】
When netizens saw that Shen Linglan was actually alive, they replied to the comments and asked Shen Linglan countless questions.
[@沈鈴蘭, Mr. Shen, do you really think there is still a future for mankind? What about the zombie virus? ]
[Yes, the video is a done deal. Do you want to say that the video was photoshopped? @沈刴蘭]
[@沈刴蘭, stop playing dead and come out and speak! ]
Shen Linglan did not reply. After turning off her phone, the comments instantly disappeared from her sight.
It doesn’t matter what netizens speculate. Now that the authorities have not come out to explain the situation, people are extremely afraid of the unknown. Once someone says that the end of the world is coming, panic will boil over.
Although Shen Linglan is not an authority, the contributions of SZ Life Science and Yunlan Hospital under her are enormous. Her words are powerful and can relieve the netizens' anxiety.
Unexpectedly, this trick was quite effective. Netizens no longer thought about stockpiling goods, but instead split into two camps. One camp suspected that the end of the world was coming, while the other camp believed Shen Linglan and thought that the talk of the end of the world was too groundless.
The internet was in chaos, and Zhang Shengnan and Lin Xiaoyue worked overnight to develop an antidote.
Wu An caught a zombie for Lin Xiaoyue. Lin Xiaoyue fed the zombie the antidote. After a while, pupils gradually grew in the zombie's cloudy eye sockets, and it no longer rushed towards people blindly when it saw them, as if it had the ability to think.
Lin Xiaoyue's eyes were red, and it was unclear whether it was due to tiredness or emotional changes. She said, "Teacher, you have a good chance of winning the Nobel Prize this year."
Zhang Shengnan took off her glasses, her eyes were also red. She rubbed her nose and said to Lin Xiaoyue, "Yue'er, she is ours."
