Being exposed by Yu Hua without any mercy made Director Yu deflate like a punctured balloon, and he slumped into the chair.
After a long pause, his aged voice finally echoed in the room: "I thought that your willingness to deliver this letter meant you had already let go of the past..."
"Stop trying to comfort yourself. I only helped you deliver the message because you told me everything."
"Yu Hua, just do me one last favor... release Si Beiting, or give me the extract of his evolutionary substance."
"Why should I help you?" Yu Hua showed no pity for the man who was about to die. "If murder weren't against the law, you would have died a thousand times, ten thousand times over!"
Director Yu fell silent.
The second hand on the wall ticked away, and Yu Hua's patience ran out; he wanted to kick him out.
Director Yu then spoke softly, "What if I told you that there is someone who has truly attained immortality?"
Yu Hua's pupils contracted: "Who? Si Beiting?"
"No," Director Yu shook his head, "I don't know who it is either..."
"Take care and don't bother seeing me off."
"That person, in human form, attained immortality..."
More than a decade ago, on a day before the zombie virus outbreak.
Because Director Yu made a mistake with one of the data points, the experiment needs to be redone.
By the time he finished, it was already 2:30 a.m.
If he goes home, after deducting the travel time, he can only sleep for a maximum of three hours.
Director Yu planned to go back to his dressing room and take a nap.
His lounge is on the top floor.
Just as he finished washing up and was lying in bed, about to go to sleep, he suddenly heard voices coming from the rooftop.
It was summer at the time, and he wanted to stay cool, so he didn't close the window.
The two people in the conversation were Ugan, the director of their mIG research institute, and Mary, a senior professor.
At first, Director Yu thought it was some ambiguous affair between a man and a woman and was about to close the window when he unexpectedly heard something that someone of his level would never hear.
Mary said she may have developed a complete virus.
Ugan asked her to elaborate.
“There was a little boy in the orphanage who didn’t have any adverse reactions to the last batch of the original solution.”
Ugan: "A single case doesn't prove anything."
Mary shook her head: "He's different. The virus is hiding in his body."
He hides away, secretly replicating the body's original genes, until one day, once the replication is complete, the virus will replace his cells and take control of that body.
He is still himself, but he is even better than before.
Ugan's voice turned serious: "How confident are you that this is the complete form?"
Mary: "Sixty percent, I guess... After all, he hasn't reached that point yet."
"What about the other people who received the same injection?"
“No…” Mary took a deep breath, “Only the boy’s reagent was different; his reagent contained blood laced with a drug…”
"Smack!"
A very crisp sound rang out.
It looks like someone got slapped.
Director Yu felt a pang of anxiety upon hearing this.
After a while, the conversation on the rooftop resumed.
"Then continue to track the specimen. If it does not show the characteristics of a complete specimen for a long time, then directly trigger the inducing factor."
Ugan said.
"Um."
The voices gradually faded away until they disappeared completely, and then Director Yu seemed to be resurrected, moving his fingers slightly.
Then I realized that my whole body was stiff and my limbs were numb.
Mary actually managed to develop the complete form before he did!
No way! Ugan once said that whoever figured it out first would become the vice president.
Director Yu had long considered this position his for the taking, so how could he let him watch someone else take it!
The next day, Director Yu took his unfinished product home.
Without the help of the research institute, he had no way to find other people to experiment on, so he could only deceive his wife into trying it.
His wife is a very successful woman who owns a company and earns more than Director Yu.
Moreover, he owns numerous properties and is a strong-willed person.
Director Yu had been trying to transfer the assets to his own name for a long time.
Perfect timing, we now have someone to test the drug.
After two days of coaxing, Director Yu finally told his wife that he would also try the "drug" on himself, and she reluctantly agreed.
The reagent wouldn't take effect so quickly, so Director Yu turned his attention to the "medicine" that Ugan and Mary had mentioned.
He's a man with many crooked and wicked ways.
Finally, one day, he saw information about "medicine" in his office in Uganda.
"Medicine" refers to a person.
His unique characteristic is that he can heal himself.
In other words, for all known and unknown diseases in the world, the "medicine" will only show the outermost symptoms, and then the "medicine" will heal itself without the need for medication or injections.
The "medicine" was hidden by Ugan, and even his confidante Mary had only received the blood once or twice.
Who is Ugan?
Yu Hua tried his best to hide his shock, but it was no use; he was so shocked by the news that he was trembling all over.
Director Yu looked up at him and said, "If you help me bring Si Beiting out, I'll tell you."
