Forbidden Ship Base Laboratory.
Bai Shuhui is continuing to optimize the drug to fight zombie virus infection in the laboratory. Although the first version of the drug can effectively prevent harm, the cost is too high, and it is difficult to popularize it among the entire population with the current level of productivity.
Jiang Xiwu is also in the lab, and the couple's research fields overlap to some extent, so she can also help.
"Mr. Ren, our base's current resource reserves allow us to produce no more than 500 tubes of this potion. The teacher is currently doing his best to adjust it."
Bai Shuhui's students are negotiating with Ren Gui who came to inspect the progress of the laboratory.
Everyone in the laboratory was doing their job in a chaotic yet orderly manner. The only thing that could be considered chaotic was Ren Gui's sudden visit, which caught everyone in the laboratory off guard.
There was no unnecessary expression on Ren Gui's handsome face. He didn't do anything that looked like he deserved a beating. He wasn't like those strong men who looked down on others. But there is a kind of people in the world who can make others feel a sense of superiority and oppression without doing anything unnecessary.
Ren Gui is such a person, and even one of the best among them.
"It doesn't matter. I'm not here to check on the progress of the medicine. I want to talk to Mr. Bai about his daughter's problem."
Bai Shuhui put the last part of the substance into the culture dish. When he heard Ren Gui's words, he paused, then walked out of the laboratory warehouse and came to Ren Gui.
"Lord Ren, is there any news from my daughter?"
Jiang Xiwu also followed over.
The two of them can't really be said to be young. According to the original description, these two scientists who made many contributions to the country didn't get married until they were over 30 years old. After getting married, they had to travel around the world to participate in various seminars and experimental projects, so they were rarely together. It was not until they were 40 that they had their only daughter, Bai Yuzhi.
Now, three years after the apocalypse, Bai Yuzhi is already twenty-one years old, and the two of them are also over sixty years old.
Over the years, their mental state has obviously not been very good because they have been working hard on researching drugs while worrying about their daughter who is not around. Now they are relying on Ren Gui to find their daughter, so they can't help but bow their heads in front of Ren Gui.
The two old men were already worthy of sympathy, but Ren Gui didn't feel much about it.
He is naturally cold-hearted. He doesn't feel pity for anyone, nor does he think anyone deserves his pity.
"That's not the case, Mr. Bai, Ms. Jiang. You two should know your daughter a little bit. From what you said, she is a spoiled and helpless child."
Anyone could hear the implication. What Ren Gui meant was that the probability of Bai Yuzhi being alive was very small.
Jiang Xiwu could no longer bear it and began to sob, while Bai Shuhui's eyes were red. The couple said with difficulty, "Please rest assured, Lord Ren, even if the jade is no longer there, we will never refuse to pay the due compensation."
Ren Gui smiled, looking somewhat elegant. "In that case, I won't delay you from continuing your experiments."
He turned to leave, but heard a knock on the door.
The laboratory is one of the most confidential and important places in the entire Forbidden Boat Base, so no matter who wants to come in, they must either get Bai Shuhui's permission or carry a laboratory pass.
This person knocked on the door instead of coming in directly. It was obvious that this person was not a person with a pass to enter the laboratory. The sudden knock on the door might be to report something important.
Ren Gui opened the door. The little guard who came to deliver the message was just an ordinary second-level psychic. He didn't expect that the lord would come to open the door in person. He told all the news in one go without even seeing who it was.
"Mr. Bai, Ms. Jiang, we've found Miss Bai Yuzhi! She's right at the door!"
Ren Gui narrowed his eyes and suddenly became interested in this girl who was once described as a "young lady" in front of him.
It turns out that a loser can survive so long in the apocalypse.
He curled the corners of his lips with some malice, wanting to see if this so-called young lady could still retain some temper after experiencing the devastation of the apocalypse.
When Bai Shuhui and his wife heard the news inside, they were already crying with joy and couldn't wait to rush to the door to see their precious daughter who had disappeared for three years. Ren Gui also went along with it.
"In that case, as the lord of the Forbidden Boat Base, I should naturally welcome the young lady who has come from afar."
As he said that, he walked out. It seemed that he was going to follow Bai Shuhui and his wife to the gate of the base.
The entire base belongs to Ren Gui. How can Bai Shuhui care about what Ren Gui wants to do? What's more, he and his wife are now preoccupied with their little daughter who has just been found. It is the most anxious time and they have no time to think about why Ren Gui suddenly had this idea.
Bai Yuzhi sat in the off-road vehicle for a long time and finally waited for someone to come out of the base.
She took a quick look and the first person she saw was the target she had met once in her dream.
Bai Yuzhi smiled and withdrew his foot that was about to step out of the car.
On the way back, Xu Xu's team members got off the car to collect supplies and found her a pair of slightly larger women's shoes, so Bai Yuzhi can now walk on her own.
But now seeing Ren Gui coming out, Bai Yuzhi immediately stopped thinking about getting off the car.
If you want to hook up, you have to have an excuse. You can't just force it.
Bai Shuhui and his wife supported each other and followed Ren Gui closely. They saw the white jade-like face from the window of the SUV and tears streamed down their faces.
"It's jade, it really is jade!"
Jiang Xiwu had already thrown himself onto the car, a pair of slightly old hands were patting the car window. Bai Yuzhi pushed the window down, and only a small face as white as snow stretched out, with the snow-white chin resting on the car door.
"Dad, Mom, why did you come to see me just now..."
She started acting like a spoiled child as soon as she opened her mouth, which made Bai Shuhui and his wife feel very distressed. Jiang Xiwu touched her white jade-like cheek with trembling hands, and kept murmuring that she had become darker and thinner.
Ren Gui, who was watching the family reunion with great interest from a distance, looked at the little girl's glowing white face and couldn't help laughing.
It's hard to say dark words to a face like that.
only……
Tsk.
Ren Gui took out a cigarette from his pocket, and a light spark came out by rubbing his two fingertips together. The cigarette smoke swirled between his lips and teeth, blurring the shape of the white jade in the distance.
Even so, she is so beautiful that the smoke makes her look more like flowers in the fog, and the haziness makes her even more stunning.
Ren Gui's murmurous sigh was heard by Xu Xu, who said, "She's so beautiful. Is it just her face, or is everything beautiful?"
He recalled the dream that was like a mirage.
