Chapter 078 Mad Scientist 10
Jian Ziyan opened his mouth, then closed it hesitantly, with a look of contemplation in his eyes.
It's good that the teacher is still alive and has arrived at the Eastern Base safely, but contacting us at this time may not be a good thing.
The teacher is a righteous person. It would have been fine if his reputation as a world destroyer had spread before, but now that Shen Ke has been implicated... the old man can't stand it.
Chen Ke knew Jian Ziyan well. Even though he had no expression, after seeing his hesitation, he immediately guessed his concerns. His eyes softened and he walked forward to hold Jian Ziyan's hand: "The teacher wants to talk to you. He doesn't sound angry."
Jian Ziyan calmly stepped over to take down the heated beaker, not letting Shen Ke touch the bloody hand. Upon hearing this, he turned around and said, "Teacher wants to see me?"
He was so meticulous when doing experiments. Shen Ke did not doubt him and naturally withdrew his hand with a smile in his eyes: "Yes, it sounds like the teacher knows some inside information that we don't know, and insisted on waiting until we all go over before we can listen."
Jian Ziyan was a little surprised. After thinking for a moment, he decided to give priority to the teacher's wishes.
Although communication is inconvenient in the apocalypse, each large base still has its own means of contact and maintains basic information exchange.
Because the Oriental Base is a newly built base, all facilities are still being improved, which is why it took so long to get in touch with us.
Jian Ziyan followed Chen Ke to the liaison room, where Yu Hui was talking to Chen Lixing. They were now the heads of two important bases respectively, and they had a lot to say when communicating.
Seeing the two people coming in, Yu Hui was about to leave to avoid suspicion, but who knew that it was Jian Ziyan who took the initiative to speak.
"Yu Hui, you stay here."
Yu Hui was stunned and met Jian Ziyan's clear black and white eyes.
"Some things are not just for us, but for everyone in the world." Jian Ziyan said, "No matter what the truth is, you have the right to know it."
Yu Hui didn't expect Jian Zi
Yan was so insightful. He subconsciously looked at Chen Ke, but Chen Ke nodded affirmatively to Yu Hui as if he had known that Jian Ziyan would say that.
Not only Yu Hui heard Jian Ziyan's words, but Chen Lixing and Zhang Wenxuan over there also heard them.
Chen Lixing's tone sounded very different from last time, and he was very polite: "Hello, Dr. Jian, I would like to invite Professor Zhang over now."
In the atmosphere that suddenly became somewhat tense, an old and somewhat tired voice sounded.
"Xiao Yan, it's me."
Jian Ziyan walked slowly to the communicator, supporting himself on the edge of the table with his skinny hands. He stared at the communicator as if he saw the kind face of the old man.
"Teacher." He said.
He has no emotions, but he can tell who is good to him.
This old man ignored the fact that he was different from others, cherished his talent, and against all odds, brought him up by his side, giving him his first place that resembled a home. He will remember it for the rest of his life.
Behind him, Chen Ke looked at his back worriedly but did not disturb this long-awaited reunion.
He knew too well the relationship between Jian Ziyan and his teacher. Jian Ziyan had no parents, and his teacher was more like a father to him.
"Good boy." Zhang Wenxuan's voice was a little choked. "I heard from Lixing that when he saw you last time, you were not in good condition. I have been worried."
"I'm sorry to have worried you, teacher. I'm fine." Jian Ziyan stroked his chest. "Teacher, did you have a smooth journey?"
"It went smoothly. I arrived at the base safely. You don't have to worry." Zhang Wenxuan said, "The reason why I was so anxious to see you was because I wanted to confirm something with you."
Jian Ziyan knew that this was the real purpose of this precious communication. He said in a cold voice, "Teacher, please speak."
Zhang Wenxuan cleared his voice and became visibly serious: "Xiao Yan, Xiao Ke just told me that neither of you remembers what happened on the day of the apocalypse, right?"
In the bases on both sides, Yu Hui and Chen Lixing's expressions also became tense.
This is the only chance to touch the truth of the end of the world. The three big guys who are most likely to know this truth are all present, which makes people excited.
Jian Ziyan's eyes darkened: "Yes, the body of the giant beast was transported to the research institute as agreed that day, Shen Ke went to pick it up, and I stayed in the laboratory to make the final preparations. Our memories end here."
"That is to say, from the time the giant beast's corpse arrived until you fell into a coma, you lost your memory of these few hours." Zhang Wenxuan said thoughtfully, "Maybe... I can try to help you recall what happened in these few hours."
"What? Teacher, you actually knew that?" Shen Ke couldn't suppress his shock.
"It is precisely because I know some things that I don't believe it when the whole world says that it was Xiao Yan who caused the apocalypse." Zhang Wenxuan sighed, "Do you think that if I believed this, I would still be standing here talking to you now?"
Jian Ziyan and Shen Ke looked at each other and saw what was in each other's eyes.
Of course not, so when Jian Ziyan was seriously injured and on the verge of death, the two of them didn't even have the chance to ask Zhang Wenxuan for help, and would rather go back to Hengyun Mountain Base and risk their lives.
Because they didn't have the face to see him.
Jian Ziyan asked: "Teacher, what happened that day?"
"I don't know it very clearly, but during those hours, Xiaoyan, you sent me a message," said Zhang Wenxuan.
Jian Ziyan shook his head: "I really don't remember this."
Shen Ke nervously put his arm around Jian Ziyan's shoulders: "Teacher, what did Xiaoyan say to you?"
"Xiao Yan first told me that the body had been delivered and that protective measures had been taken, so I didn't need to worry." Zhang Wenxuan recalled, "Then he also reported to me some recent research progress. So far, everything has been normal."
This indeed sounded very ordinary. Except for Jian Ziyan, the other three held their breath, waiting for Zhang Wenxuan to continue.
"Then Xiao Yan told me after a while that the body had been brought in and he wanted to check it first."
"Wait," Chen Ke said in shock, "So the body has been sent to the laboratory?"
He looked at Jian Ziyan, who also looked slightly condensed: "After I woke up, there was no giant beast corpse in the laboratory."
Therefore, he had no memory of having seen the giant beast, and had never thought about it in this direction from beginning to end.
"That's the problem." Zhang Wenxuan's voice was solemn and tense, "The giant beast's body is gone."
There was silence in the two communication rooms.
"It's gone..." Chen Lixing murmured, "It's impossible for something that has been frozen for millions of years to suddenly resurrect and run away...?"
"It could only have been stolen." Chen Ke's voice turned cold. "Teacher, so you suspect that the outbreak of the apocalypse is related to this corpse?"
"I'm 80 percent sure that the end of the world is related to the corpse of this giant beast," Zhang Wenxuan said. "No matter who stole it, we must get it back. Only then will there be hope of developing a vaccine."
A glimmer of light finally appeared in the endless darkness. Except for Jian Ziyan, everyone else was a little shocked.
Jian Ziyan was already somewhat confident about developing a virus vaccine, so he was not very excited to hear the news. Even if he could not find the giant beast's corpse, it would not affect his progress.
What he was thinking about was who could open his laboratory and take away the bodies inside.
"Shen Ke and I's laboratory is top secret. Ordinary people cannot enter, so the scope of screening is not large." Jian Ziyan said, "Teacher, did I reveal anything to you at that time?"
"You were..." Zhang Wenxuan was silent for a moment, "You sent me a distress signal at that time."
Shen Ke opened his eyes slightly.
If the situation was serious enough to require a distress signal, why wasn't it him who sent it, but Xiao Yan, who was physically weaker? What about others?
"In the last distress signal Xiaoyan sent me, the word order was messed up. The only clear thing was a person's name." Zhang Wenxuan's tone became older, and he seemed unwilling to admit it. "It was Xu Guanglei."
"Xu Guanglei...?"
This unexpected yet reasonable name shocked everyone.
Zhang Wenxuan was silent for a moment, then said, "Xu Guanglei is with you, you can investigate on your own. There is one more thing I must let Xiao Ke know."
Shen Ke shuddered: "Teacher, please speak."
"In the last period before you lost consciousness, Xiao Yan injected you with the only universal antidote that was still under experimentation." Zhang Wenxuan said, "He said he bet you could survive. This was the last message I received."
There was a bang in Shen Ke's head, and he was stunned.
