Chapter 252 Drug testing experiment is forced to be advanced!
The last time Xiao Tang was sent to the lab, Xiao Liu, on behalf of his superiors, expressed to Qiao Lan the hope that she could stay in Beijing to support official construction. Qiao Lan, thinking of Blackwater Town, naturally declined on the spot. Unexpectedly, when they met again, he brought up the idea again.
Qiao Lan thought to himself, it seems that he is not just being polite, he really wants me to stay?
If this is not agreed, will the official laboratory do its best to treat Xiao Tang?
She hesitated for a few seconds, still wanting to fight for her freedom, so she smiled politely: "Well... Actually, I'm more nostalgic for my hometown."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Liu expressed regret: "The battle reports from the Eastern Theater indicate that you are an exceptional shooter. We currently don't have a firearms expert like you. It would be great if you could stay. Not only would you be a strong fighter yourself, but you could also provide guidance and training for our soldiers."
He added, "Comrade Tang Xiaoyao is also a talented person with outstanding supernatural powers. If he is resurrected, we would be very happy if you and he could stay. You know, the higher-ups have been recruiting outstanding awakened people, wanting everyone to play a powerful role in the right place, all for the purpose of rebuilding society."
Qiao Lan declined again. "As the old saying goes, revolutionary work is not divided into high and low, urban and rural. I am contributing to the reconstruction in the suburbs of City C just as I am in the capital. Um... Brother Liu, just asking casually. If I don't stay, I don't know where Xiao Tang is doing the drug testing..."
She asked tentatively, feeling uneasy.
If this side really uses Xiao Tang's resurrection as a bargaining chip, she can also consider staying in Beijing, after all, Xiao Tang's life is important.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Liu immediately solemnly assured him, "Of course, it's a different matter! Whether you're willing to stay or not, Comrade Tang's drug resurrection experiment is a priority. Several leaders above us have repeatedly stressed that we must give the hero another life. Don't worry."
"Yeah, okay, thank you very much." Qiao Lan felt relieved.
Then she thought the officials were too particular about what they were doing. They weren't threatening her at all. She felt really bad about it. She was just being petty.
Well... as long as the laboratory does its best to help Xiao Tang, no matter what the final result is, whether he survives or not, Qiao Lan decided to do what he can to help the authorities while he is in Beijing.
The two men got out of the car while talking, walked a very complicated road in the underground space, and finally arrived at the entrance to the laboratory.
Seven heavy blast-proof doors lined the front and back, and then an elevator led deeper underground. Along the way, Awakened experts stood guard and patrolled. The levels of some of them truly surprised Qiao Lan. At least level four? Even level five? Could such high levels be found so early in the second year of the apocalypse?
The fact that the authorities had placed such a powerful expert in the laboratory for security showed the importance of this place. This gave Qiao Lan a little more confidence in the safety and success rate of Xiao Tang's drug test.
Beep, beep, suddenly the internal special communicator in Xiao Liu's arms rang.
He picked up the phone, listened for a few seconds, and his expression changed. "...Okay, we're already in and will be there soon!"
Then he called out to Qiao Lan: "Miss Qiao, let's hurry up, there's something wrong with Comrade Tang!"
Qiao Lan's heart skipped a beat.
What's wrong?! Weren't we supposed to start taking the medication at night? What's going on now?
We arrived in Beijing early yesterday morning. After sending Xiao Tang to the laboratory, the researchers inside conducted a very detailed examination of Xiao Tang's body. Then, in order to preserve his freshness, they soaked Xiao Tang in a special potion. They explained that after soaking for 24 hours, the body and the potion would be fully integrated. After the preparations for the drug test on the other side were completed, they would start officially using the drug.
The expected time is around eight o'clock tonight. Xiao Tang's body should still be in the potion, so how could something go wrong?
Qiao Lan ran after Xiao Liu with great strides, her heart burning with anxiety. Later, she felt that Xiao Liu was running too slowly, so she simply picked him up and carried him on her shoulders to continue on her way.
They quickly arrived at the key monitoring laboratory where Xiao Tang was. They quickly sprayed disinfectant, put on isolation suits, and went inside.
Several scientific researchers were busy working around the potion pool where Xiao Tang was soaking.
"Add more medicine! Okay..."
"Adjust the liquid temperature, quick! Add ice, add ice! It's coming up again, add more ice, quick!"
"You two hold him down!"
Xiao Tang's body lay in a half-meter-deep pool of liquid medicine, with numerous tubes inserted into it. When Qiao Lan left yesterday, he lay there quietly, like a statue. Now, however, he was bobbing in the water, requiring two experimenters to hold him down firmly to prevent him from being pushed out.
The water was pushed out by a large number of bubbles. The pool of potion was constantly being filled with ice, but it still sizzled and gurgled with bubbles, the temperature remained high and it was about to boil at any moment.
The data on several instrument panels at the other end of the tube kept changing. The leading experimenter stared at the dials and issued instructions continuously in an anxious voice.
"What's going on!" Xiao Liu stepped forward.
The experimenter said, "We haven't figured out the reason yet! The body's temperature started rising half an hour ago, quickly heating up the potion as well. No matter how we adjust it, it won't go down. It's like it's a furnace, boiling the potion! We're working hard to adjust the liquid temperature, otherwise we won't be able to proceed with the subsequent drug testing!"
"Why does the body generate heat on its own? Is it dangerous? For example, it might burn itself or be cooked..." Qiao Lan asked worriedly.
The experimenter said he had no idea, as he had conducted hundreds of similar experiments before and had never encountered such a situation.
"But this may be a good thing. The pool contains not only preservatives, but also a small amount of drugs for resurrection experiments. The reaction of the corpse means that the stimulation of the drugs has taken effect on him, which is better than no reaction at all." said an experimenter.
Qiao Lan could only hope that he was right.
At present, it seems that Xiao Tang is still dead, and the fever is just a strange reaction in the state of death.
He couldn't help but recall that before leaving, White Cat Da Zhuang had consumed several high-level crystal cores, exhausted, and launched a blessing power on Xiao Tang for an hour. That was the limit of what Da Zhuang could do at his current level.
"I hope the lucky buff can take effect!" Qiao Lan prayed secretly.
The experimenters were busy, and the various medicines and instruments dazzled Qiao Lan. She couldn't understand them and could only stand by and worry.
"No, we can't go on like this. If the temperature can't be adjusted, he might actually cook himself!" The lead experimenter made a quick decision. "We can't wait any longer. Let's begin the formal resurrection test now. Ms. Qiao, please sign!"
Xiao Liu and Qiao Lan were asked to come quickly just to sign the consent form for the experiment.
A piece of printed paper clearly stated that the experimental results were unpredictable. If the drug test failed, it was very likely that not only would the person not survive, but his body would also be damaged.
Qiao Lan held the consent form with shaking hands.
