Resource dispatcher Lu walked quickly towards the laboratory, his face showing uncontrollable excitement but also a hint of uneasiness.
He couldn't wait to know the yield of the potion and whether they could really overcome the crisis brought by the mutated plants.
However, when he learned about the ingredients and production process of the potion, the smile on his face gradually froze.
His eyes fell on the formula of the medicine, and a glaring name made his heart sink - "X-47 Solvent".
"X-47 solvent..." the land resource dispatcher muttered to himself, his voice so low that it was almost inaudible.
Botanist Gao and Researcher Qin noticed his abnormality and looked at him in confusion.
"What's wrong, Dispatcher Lu? Any problem?"
The land resource dispatcher took a deep breath and tried to control his trembling voice: "X-47 solvent... our inventory... is insufficient."
This sentence exploded in the laboratory like a thunder.
The smiles on Botanist Gao and Researcher Qin's faces disappeared instantly, replaced by incredible shock.
"Not enough? How can it be not enough?" Botanist Gao found it hard to accept this fact. He grabbed the land resource dispatcher's shoulder and said, "We clearly had a lot of inventory before!"

Researcher Qin stood there blankly. The test tube in his hand seemed to weigh a thousand pounds, making it hard for him to breathe.
The land resource dispatcher leaned weakly against the wall, staring at the ceiling with empty eyes.
He knew what kind of panic would be caused once this news got out.
The fire of hope that was ignited with great difficulty will be ruthlessly extinguished, and the entire base will once again fall into the quagmire of despair.
Time seemed to stand still, and the air was filled with the smell of despair and suffocation.
Just then, a steady sound of footsteps broke the suffocating silence.
Mou Xuan appeared at the door of the laboratory, with a solemn look on his face but an extremely firm look in his eyes.
He looked around the laboratory, his eyes finally falling on the medicine formula in the hands of the land resource dispatcher.
An indescribable premonition spread in everyone's heart...
