The night was completely dark.
The lab members gathered downstairs in the apartment building, including Li Rui and the others, totaled ten people. Apart from Zhao Jing, the little hacker who was away on a business trip, they were all from Lab 09, which Xia Yixin had built a few years ago.
They originally came here to wait for Xia Yixin and Li Rui after receiving news of the accident at the laboratory.
Xia Yixin's expression darkened after she inquired about their situation and learned of the accident at the laboratory.
"Dr. Xia, they took all our experimental equipment and data with them. We had already reached 90% by now."
“That’s right, we were just a little bit short, but for some reason the data seems to be missing a part. The drug has already been produced as a semi-finished product a long time ago. If they take it now and use it for experiments... it’s too dangerous! Dr. Xia, we must find a way to get it back.”
"Yes, Dr. Xia,"
The apartment had been transformed into a standard conference room by V. Apart from Li Rui and her team, the other members of the experimental group couldn't hide their eagerness and chatted amongst themselves.
The other team members were anxious about their research results being stolen or the semi-finished drug causing serious consequences, and failed to notice that Xia Yixin looked unwell.
It was Li Rui who first noticed Xia Yixin's increasingly pale face and quickly called them to stop.
"Alright, you guys go get treatment first, we'll talk about the lab later."
After everyone else left, only Li Rui, Hong Feng, and Chen Zhe remained in the meeting room.
Xia Yixin didn't have time to care about the differences between these "old acquaintances" and those in her memory. She understood that Lu Yuan was doing this to warn her and control her at the same time. As for the "key" that the laboratory was looking for, although she didn't know who had blocked a small part of it, it meant that her situation wasn't so passive. On the contrary, she should thank that person.
Li Rui looked at her with concern, "Xia? Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." Xia Yixin pinched the bridge of her nose, suppressing her fatigue.
Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the city was bustling, and a large laser display screen not far away was still playing news about Commander Lu Yuan finding a genetic match.
Chen Zhe and Hong Feng also noticed that Xia Yixin was acting strangely. Chen Zhe, who had sharp eyes, saw a bruise showing on her collar and frowned.
You're injured!
Upon hearing this, Li Rui and Hong Feng felt a chill in their hearts. Hong Feng quickly grabbed Xia Yixin's arm, rolled up her sleeve, and sure enough, she saw a bruise. She gasped sharply, then felt a surge of anger.
"That bastard Lu Yuan!" Hong Feng gritted her teeth in anger.
"Watch your form of address," Chen Zhe reminded him urgently.
No place in the Allied Nations can be considered completely safe. What Red Phoenix just said is tantamount to disrespect for the Commander-in-Chief and will be punished.
The more he said that, the angrier Hongfeng became, but she knew that now was not the time to act impulsively, so she could only sulk.
Just as Li Rui was about to give Xia Yixin a full-body check-up, Xia Yixin stood up as if she had made a decision.
"Sister Hua, how is that guy named Moss doing?"
Knowing yourself and your enemy is the key to victory in every battle.
Now that Lu Yuan has "started the war," she has no way out.
As part of the "plan," Lab 09 deliberately leaked the access program for its experimental system to the black market six months ago, seeking impoverished, idle B-level gene donors to be used as test subjects.
To them, it was an abandoned game system, which was actually just a system similar to a "ticket".
After the test subjects enter the game, they will be automatically connected to the real "experimental system". In addition to the B-level gene user named Moss, several other people also received this "ticket", but unfortunately most of them either ignored it or did not achieve the expected results at all.
"Only the B-level gene recipient named Moss developed a third type of emotion—a special fluctuation—for the female test subjects who entered the experimental system at the same time. We also recorded his data. Unfortunately, when we tried to find him, he lost control of his emotions, mistook us for executors, and injured his spine during his escape. Now only part of his brain tissue can still respond to us, but according to the programming, we set him up as the 'door' that could guide you out of the experimental system. Unfortunately, he and the other experimental equipment have now been taken away by the people from the PO."
After Li Rui finished explaining, she noticed that Xia Yixin's brows were furrowed even more. Thinking that she was worried about the lab, she comforted her, "Xia, don't worry, as long as they can't unlock the 'key,' the lab will be fine."
To her surprise, Xia Yixin pondered for a long time before asking her a question in return: "Sister Hua, can human genes really determine the survival of the fittest?"
When Li Rui opened her mouth to answer such an obvious question, she choked for some reason.
Xia Yixin was also a little tired at this time. Moss's condition was far more serious than she had thought. No wonder he was so hostile to her at the end of the apocalypse.
But now it seems that if she wants to know the truth, she still has to follow Lu Yuan's path.
After Li Rui left, the four walls of the apartment were recessed, and the more than 100-square-meter round table conference room was transformed into the most suitable bedroom size. V even thoughtfully raised the bed, and there were three tubes of blue medicine and a glass of water on the bedside table.
The mechanical male voice reminded you emotionlessly, "Master, your physical condition is very poor right now. The system cabin of the past three years has pushed your physical functions below the balance line. You have also engaged in strenuous activity within the last 12 hours. You urgently need rest. The recovery agent will help your body recover faster."
Xia Yixin lowered her eyes and sat on the bed to inject the three vials of medicine. Sure enough, the bruises on her body disappeared at a visible speed, the pain in her abdomen was also greatly reduced, and even the feeling of hunger was gone. Then, the fatigue that she had been trying to suppress came over her, but she was not sleepy at all.
