Capital Research Office
The scene had been incredibly busy for over half a month, and every researcher had dark circles under their eyes, a testament to their dedication and focus. Unfortunately, their hard work went unrewarded.
“Hasn’t it been researched yet?”
"Professor, we haven't been able to figure it out yet."
"This...what should I do?"
The gray-haired professor couldn't help but frown. He had never imagined that a virus could be so tenacious and so elusive. It was so difficult and hot, everything about it made him feel so helpless.
"Why……"
What should they do? There's not much time left until the deadline given by their superiors. If they don't hurry up, how will they deliver the results?
"Professor, what do we do now?"
The assistant and the deputy all looked at the professor. They had no idea how to get out of this misunderstanding. What should they do? How should they handle this situation?
"Let me think about it again, let me think about it again."
"But... Professor, there's no time."
The virus seemed to be able to evolve on its own. The first generation had already developed into the second and third generations. Each generation was stronger than the last, and their early preparations were completely unable to control it.
“Is Miss Shen back?”
The professor couldn't help but think of someone, someone he admired immensely.
"No... I heard that he has gone to pick up Miss Shen."
The military deployed helicopters, presumably because they were no longer confident. This happened so suddenly; no one could have anticipated it would reach this stage. More and more poultry are falling ill. If this continues, we don't know if we'll be able to safely eat poultry in the future.
"Let's wait until Miss Shen comes back and see if she can come up with new ideas!"
The professor also looked tired and just hoped that Shen Yun could handle it well, and she took over this series of things.
"But... we still don't know when she will be able to come back."
"No matter when, I think she is the only one who can solve this problem."
Everyone in the lab fell silent. Even the professor said that only Shen Yun could solve the problem. What else could they do? They spread their hands, expressing their own inability to do anything. As they looked at each other, they could see that each of them was lacking confidence.
"professor……"
"I'm old, I'm already old. From now on, I'll leave these to you young people!" After rubbing his aching eyes, the professor finally let go.
…
Pushing open the door to the laboratory, Shen Yun looked at the assembled staff in surprise. Were they discussing something important? Or was she arriving at the wrong time?
“Miss Shen…Miss Shen…”
"You're back... Miss Shen."
"Professor Shen...you are back..."
"What are you guys...doing? Master Wen, how long has it been since you last rested?"
Chen Yun stared at Wen Lao, who stood beside him with wide eyes. He looked almost like a homeless person. How long had it taken to create this? Furthermore, the familiar researchers before him all had dark circles under their eyes, pale skin, and the unhealthy appearance of refugees. This truly shocked Chen Yun.
"It wasn't long. We were still conducting research. I felt a little tired after not getting enough rest for half a day..."
"Is that really the case?" Shen Yun looked around suspiciously. Why did she feel that there was more to it than just this?
"Naturally, we just didn't get enough rest."
As for their image, they had long since discarded it, completely forgotten. Research was stagnant, and no one dared to slack off. The pressure from above, as well as the pressure they put on themselves, kept them awake and restless.
"Okay, what's the progress now? Who can tell me?"
"Let me explain something to you. If you come over now, I can feel at ease."
Wenhua looked at Shen Yun with a look of relief. Now that she has joined, everything will be fine, everything is no longer a problem, no need to worry.
"Mr. Wen, leave the rest to me!" Chen Yun took over the research institute's project.
"Okay, I can rest assured with you here. I haven't been able to relax for even a moment in the past half month. My body is almost unable to bear it."
Wenhua sighed. If possible, he would have continued. Unfortunately, he couldn't compare to the young people. His body had begun to show signs of alarm, and various situations could occur at any time. He was enduring to the limit. If Shen Yun didn't come back, he would choose to rest.
"Well, Master Wen, you must take care of yourself. I will come back to you with my research results in the future, and I hope you can give me some guidance."
"Of course! You're welcome anytime."
Seeing Chen Yun's flattery, Wenhua felt much better. This child was good at comforting people. No matter what the problem was, she seemed to be able to handle it one by one.
"Everyone, I'm taking charge of everything now. I'll give you all a day off today. Go back and rest up, and get your mental and physical states in tip-top shape. Tomorrow, I hope to see you all refreshed in the lab early in the morning. Is that alright?"
“Yes…yes…”
"Of course you can, Miss Shen, you are so kind."
The excited researchers all lamented the difficulties they had faced during this period. Now, Shen Yun had given them a break, even if it was only half a day, it was enough to make them happy. They were overjoyed, and everyone said they would work hard to adjust their state and strive to be a brand new self when they came back the next day.
"Finally, I can rest."
"Yeah! It feels so good!"
What a relief! Just having a half-day off made these researchers so happy. Their desires were truly diminishing, becoming smaller and smaller. It was all because of the lack of time, the pressure, and all the obstacles that had come their way that they felt the outside world was hostile to them.
"Well, you can all go back and rest first. Come over early tomorrow morning, and I'll arrange everything you need to do. Then you can conduct the research according to my requirements."
Chen Yun entered the office, clutching a stack of documents. While the researchers were on holiday, she was expected to stay in the lab and work overtime. It would be best if she could get everything sorted out during this time. Tomorrow, once the researchers were all in place, they could begin the next step of research. There was no time to waste.
"Professor Shen, are you planning to stay in the lab alone?"
"Of course, if I don't stay in the lab, how can I better understand your progress during this period? There is still so much information that needs to be read."
She gestured, holding up the documents, but she hadn't even looked at them. She had just returned to the capital from Mengshan Village, having come straight to the research institute without even stopping at home. She had no idea what was going on, or what the research was heading for. She had no idea what was going on, so she had to take advantage of this window of time to get a good grasp of it.
