For several days, the two did nothing but help the shelter repair the city's defensive walls. When it was time to leave, they gave the official shelter a batch of medicine, and the four of them, along with the dog, left the official shelter and headed to the next city.
At this moment, in the underground research room of the magnificent base, more than 800 kilometers away.
Dr. Wang took out several vials of blue water-based ability activator and said to Jun Hai, who was sitting in the main seat with two beautiful women in his arms:
"Mr. Jun, after a period of hard work, our team has now developed a type of superpower activator that you need."
"As long as you drink this activator, you'll be 100% guaranteed to activate your water-escape ability."
Upon hearing that the superpower agent had indeed been researched and extracted, Junhai quickly abandoned the two beautiful women and walked over to take the vial of blue liquid.
Suddenly remembering something, he suppressed his excitement and said with some anger:
"Why is it a water-based ability? You're trying to fool me with such a useless ability?"
What I need are powerful offensive abilities, like lightning or fire; if those aren't possible, defensive abilities like metal or earth will also work!
When Dr. Wang saw the look of disgust on Junhai's face, he unconsciously clenched his fist tightly.
These are things that their research team worked day and night for three days after the smog started, and now he's showing such disdain for them.
Dr. Wang looked heavily at the several vials of blue superpower activators in the other person's hand, and at Jun Hai's disdainful expression.
A flash of bloodlust crossed his eyes, but he quickly suppressed it. He understood that the other party was so greedy, and his efforts seemed far from enough.
"Mr. Jun, I understand your needs, but at present we can only provide water-based ability activators."
Other superpowers require more time for research and development. "If you can give us some time, I believe our team will be able to meet your requirements soon." Dr. Wang struggled to control his anger, his tone sincere and softened.
Junhai glanced at the two beautiful women he had tossed aside, smiled mockingly, and said with disdain and helplessness.
"Time? I don't have that much time to waste on your research."
I need powerful abilities to protect myself and what I care about. Otherwise, what's the point of your research?
Dr. Wang felt a wave of helplessness; he knew Junhai was right.
His research team worked tirelessly, day and night, to meet Junhai's needs.
However, all they can offer now is a basic water-based ability activator, which falls far short of Junhai's expectations.
"Mr. Jun, I understand your anxiety and needs, but research requires time and resources."
Our team is working hard, but progress may be much faster than we expect. At least it has only been a little over a month and you will be able to activate your water-based abilities.
If you can give us some tolerance and trust, I believe we will definitely be able to develop an even more powerful superpower activator.
Junhai sneered, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes.
"Tolerance and trust? Dr. Wang, don't you know I still have your son in my hands? If you continue to delay, I can't guarantee his safety."
Now, hurry up and continue researching a usable attack ability activator, or don't blame me for being ruthless towards your family.
Dr. Wang felt as if a giant hand was squeezing his heart; he felt he couldn't escape Junhai's threat. He knew that to protect his family, he had to compromise.
"Alright, Mr. Jun. I will provide you with a powerful attack ability activator as soon as possible. But please spare my family."
Junhai smiled smugly and nodded in satisfaction.
"Very good, Dr. Wang. Smart people always know what they should do. I'll be waiting for your good news."
Don't disappoint me, or the consequences... you know what I mean.
"I'll have someone bring your son's medication for this month in a bit." His tone was cold and warning.
The conversation between Dr. Wang and Junhai began to tense. Dr. Wang tried to hide his anger and continued speaking with a smile:
"Mr. Jun, please spare my son, and please trust our team. We are working hard to research other types of superpowers, although we have only successfully researched water-based superpowers so far."
Jun Hai stared coldly at Dr. Wang, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain and suspicion: "I'll say it again, what I need is powerful offensive abilities. Don't disappoint me with your research results next time."
Dr. Wang dared not look Junhai in the eye again, suppressing his anger, and said in a low voice:
“Mr. Jun, our research is not easy. The energy structure in the fluorescence is very complex, and we need more time to study other superpowers. We are working hard and believe that we will make a breakthrough soon.”
Junhai sneered. He knew that Dr. Wang did not want to offend him, but now he felt that his position was high enough to allow him to express his dissatisfaction with the research team.
He waved his hand, signaling the two beautiful women beside him to step aside, then walked to Dr. Wang's side and said mockingly:
"Your research group's capabilities are truly questionable. I don't have that much time to wait for you to develop more other superpowers."
I only need lightning and fire elements; next time, you must research at least one of them.
Dr. Wang felt a surge of anger, but he suppressed it and emphasized, "Mr. Jun, I understand your needs. Our team will intensify our research and meet your requirements as soon as possible."
Jun Hai sneered, looking directly at Dr. Wang with a contemptuous expression: "I don't doubt your abilities, but I can't guarantee whether you have enough time and strength."
Dr. Wang suddenly felt immense pressure, but he knew he could not back down now.
He took a deep breath and looked at Jun Hai with a firm gaze, saying, "Mr. Jun, please give our team some time. We will do our best to research other supernatural abilities of Fluorescence, and we will definitely be able to meet your needs in the future."
Junhai smiled slightly, satisfied with Dr. Wang's determination, then looked deeply into Dr. Wang's eyes and said:
"Alright, I'll give you two or three months. If you haven't developed the superpower I need within three months, you should know the consequences."
Dr. Wang showed a relaxed expression, but he was still anxious inside.
He understood that these three months would be a huge challenge for the team, but he believed that as long as they persevered, they would succeed.
Dr. Wang was filled with helplessness and anger, but he understood that protecting his family's safety was the most important thing at that moment.
He decided to do his best to buy time to develop a more powerful superpower activator, and at the same time, he hoped to find a way to save his son.
This conversation made Dr. Wang realize that superpowers are not just a magical ability, but also hide huge temptations of profit and cruel realities.
He understood that only through continuous effort could he protect himself and his family in this cruel world.
