Chapter 255 Danger Approaches
When Qiao Yu and his companions returned to the camp, Professor Kang and Professor Shen were still sitting by the campfire, warming themselves.
The fog is getting thicker and the temperature is getting lower. The campfire is the warmest and safest place.
"You're back." Professor Kang nodded at Qiao Yu and the others when he saw them coming back.
Qiao Yu walked straight to Professor Kang, leaned over, and whispered, "Professor Kang, can I have a moment to talk?"
Professor Kang saw that Qiao Yu looked serious and Cheng Sinian beside him also stopped being nonchalant, so he knew that it was serious business, so he stopped smiling and stood up.
"Professor Shen, please come with us." Yu Qingchuan looked at Professor Shen who was also sitting next to him.
Professor Shen was also aware of the matter regarding the medicinal powder and Manman. When they were analyzing the ingredients, they often asked Professor Shen for help, so there was no need to avoid Professor Shen.
Upon hearing this, Professor Shen nodded, and together with Professor Kang, he followed Qiao Yu and the others into their RV.
"What happened?" Professor Kang asked in a low voice.
After hearing Professor Kang's question, Qiao Yu did not rush to answer, but winked at Yu Qingchuan.
Yu Qingchuan understood and quickly took out the plant.
Professor Shen is a person with enhanced sense of smell. When he first took out the plant, he smelled a familiar scent.
"Is it the raw material of the God of Wrath?" Professor Shen asked with a slight frown.
Yu Qingchuan admired Professor Shen's keen insight and memory and nodded. "That's what I suspected, but I didn't dare to confirm it rashly. So I brought this plant back and wanted to ask the two professors to identify it."
Yu Qingchuan placed the plant on the table in front of Professor Kang and Professor Shen so that they could observe it carefully.
"Judging from the smell, it is indeed very similar to the ingredients of the God of Wrath." Professor Kang picked up the plant, put it to his nose and smelled it, then nodded slightly.
"But to be more rigorous, Lao Shen and I will find a way to purify the ingredients in it and confirm it."
"Okay." Qiao Yu nodded, "Then I'll trouble you two."
"But where did you find this?" Professor Kang looked up, puzzled. "Didn't Wang Zha just say he was taking you somewhere? Were you going to find this?"
"Yes." Cheng Sinian continued, "We found this by a small pond not far from the camp."
"There are a lot of these mutant plants out there. But according to Wang Zha, it's not just by the pond...it was originally following this smell to find us."
Upon hearing this, Professor Kang and Professor Shen opened their eyes wide in surprise, "You mean... in our team..."
Cheng Sinian pursed his lips and nodded slightly heavily, "So I called you two over here to give you a heads up."
"Many people in the team may have been poisoned by the base drug, and there is a high possibility that there are people holding the God of Fury."
"You must be more careful."
Cheng Sinian looked at Professor Kang seriously, with worry evident in his eyes.
Professor Kang felt a warm feeling in his heart and chuckled, "I see. Don't worry. Although we are a little older, we are still aliens after all. We are not as fragile as you think."
Upon hearing this, Cheng Sinian pursed his lips and said no more, but the worry in his eyes was still strong.
Although Professor Kang said it lightly, Cheng Sinian knew in his heart that once the spies in the team took action, it would be a fierce battle.
Since Wang Zha has chased them here but is unable to find out who in the team has this smell, it means that the number of people must be quite large.
They have no idea what the person behind the scenes is planning, but since they can arrange so many spies in the team heading to the exchange meeting in City A, it is very likely that he has some intentions towards the research institute.
Professor Kang and Professor Shen are both key members of the research institute, holding important positions, but their abilities are not offensive. If their secrets are exposed, even if they are not the targets of the person behind the scenes, they are likely to be seriously threatened.
What’s even more worrying is…
What if the target of the person behind this is Professors Kang and Shen?
Cheng Sinian didn't even dare to think about it.
But at the moment, in order not to alert the enemy, they cannot publicize this matter. They can only stay alert and be as cautious as possible.
This made Cheng Sinian feel even more depressed.
"But I'm a little confused. Isn't this mutant plant the main ingredient of the God of Fury? Why do so many people in the convoy smell like this, but haven't lost their minds yet?"
Qiao Yu's question interrupted Cheng Sinian's thoughts.
really.
This issue is very critical.
If many people in the convoy were affected by the "God of Fury", why have only the two mercenaries been in trouble so far?
Is it possible to control the onset time of this medicine?
"Because it's not only the main ingredient of the God of Fury." Yu Qingchuan replied in a low voice: "It's also a secondary ingredient in the base medicine."
"Is it also in the base medicine?"
"Yes." Professor Kang nodded.
"I told you before that we have already extracted all the ingredients of the base drug and several other drugs. After comparison, we found that the base drug has the most types of drug ingredients."
"It contains almost all the ingredients of several other medications. It's just in very small doses."
Qiao Yu frowned when he heard this. "That is to say, the base medicine is not ineffective, but the effect is not obvious enough, right?"
"Yes." Professor Shen nodded. "That's exactly what I mean. The reason those who were poisoned by the base drug didn't show any unusual symptoms is simply because the dosage was insufficient, and the drug's effects weren't taking effect."
"Does this medicine have a time limit?" Cheng Sinian asked from the side.
"Do you mean the base medicine or...?"
"All of them. Base, Loss of Soul, Soul Absorption, and Wrath of God. Do these drugs have a time limit? If so, what is the approximate range?"
"The base drug has no expiration date," Professor Kang replied firmly. "Anyone who has been poisoned by the base drug will continue to have the drug's effects dormant in their body unless they find a plant that counteracts the drug's effects and develop a drug to counteract it."
"As you know, base medications usually don't have any effect, but as long as they are combined with other medications, that is, when a certain ingredient reaches a certain dosage, the drug's effect will take effect."
"Among the other drugs, Soul Loss and Soul Capture have no time limit. As long as there is no antidote, they will continue to take effect until the person who took them dies."
"And the God of Fury..." Professor Kang paused slightly and sighed softly, "This medicine is quite special."
"Because from the perspective of efficacy, it can be said to be time-sensitive, but also time-insensitive..."
