Chapter 234 Problematic Samples
Lin Xi hadn't slept through the night without waking up in a long time.
Although this room is not a shelter, it keeps the guards who are constantly monitoring her out, and the support of her companions allows her to relax temporarily from her tense state.
When they left the room the next day, the female guard who had just finished her shift was waiting for them at the gate.
Lu Wei led Lin Xi back to the secret meeting room from yesterday.
They were greeted by almost the same group of people as yesterday. Jiang Wenxian, who was sitting at the head of the table, took a deep breath through his nose as if suppressing his impatience.
"You two are here really early," someone said sarcastically.
In their view, they were there to interrogate and oppress Lin Xi; they were in a superior position. They never expected that the person being interrogated would arrive so late.
Someone immediately tried to chime in, but was silenced by a single look from Jiang Wenxian.
Jiang Wenxian had held a high position for many years and rarely encountered such a situation, but he quickly came to terms with it.
Everyone has weaknesses. Even this stubborn and unyielding Lin Xi seems capable of breaking her principles.
He had neither the interest nor the time to listen to Lu Wei's every move, but his subordinates submitted the generated text report.
The two didn't talk much, but Jiang Wenxian found it somewhat cheesy and pretentious.
There was nothing unusual about the phrases like "wasting away for her," "dying under the flowers," and "a paradise in a dream." When two people who were about to accomplish great things met, they only talked about love.
In Jiang Wenxian's eyes, the female clerks were not interested in romance, and Lu Wei... was already impotent at such a young age. The only thing the two of them could do together was to have some spiritual connection.
They're so young after all.
Although Jiang Wenxian thought this way, he still didn't let his guard down when facing Lu Wei and Lin Xi.
When he opened his mouth, the deep nasolabial folds on his cheeks twitched noticeably, and they deepened with the movement of his facial muscles. Even though his tone was flat, it gave people a sense of oppression: "How did Chairman Lu's persuasion go?"
Lu Wei: "Don't worry, Chief."
Jiang Wenxian turned his gaze to Lin Xi, asking with his eyes.
"Hmm." Lin Xi didn't want to say anything insincere to show loyalty; as long as the meaning was conveyed, that was enough.
Hearing her agree, the others seemed to breathe a slight sigh of relief, but Jiang Wenxian continued to scrutinize her.
"Oh?" Jiang Wenxian took a sip of tea. "I'd like to know how Chairman Lu managed to persuade him."
After all, the surveillance report he saw didn't contain anything about the experiment, but he couldn't reveal that he was being monitored.
Lin Xi calmly raised her eyes and met Jiang Wenxian's gaze without haste.
Jiang Wenxian: "After all, Chairman Lu has been a semi-infected person for a long time. Everyone has already tried to persuade Chairman Lu. Dean Lin used to be completely unyielding."
While semi-infected individuals may lose some of their physical characteristics, they still have the obvious advantages of enhanced combat power and longevity. Lin Xi had always known about Lu Wei's situation, but was unwilling to promote semi-infected individuals.
Would these words be effective if Lu Weilai said them?
Lin Xi said calmly, "There are some things that only Lu Qi could say. For example, he has become a half-infected being with the ability to live forever. I can only return to the surface and be with Brother Lu by perfecting the half-infected project, improving the genes of all humanity, and defeating the zombies..."
The lines are so difficult to pronounce!
Although it was meant for the villains, Lin Xizhen couldn't bring herself to use the excuse of wanting to live forever like Lu Wei and be together forever.
After a good day's rest, Lin Xi's blood and energy were quite abundant, and she began to blush slightly under this awkward situation.
“It should have been done long ago.” Jiang Wenxian understood and nodded in satisfaction: “In that case, Dean Lin should go and work in the lab.”
The secretary presented Lu Wei with a list, and Jiang Wenxian said, "This is the list of newly added semi-infected individuals and their details."
Lu did not take the document; it contained a stack of names.
Lin Xi and Lu Wei both paused for a moment—there are already so many semi-infected people?
Regardless of their intentions, Jiang Wenxian only said to Lin Xi, "The vaccine used on this batch of semi-infected individuals is the same one that Dean Lin used on Chairman Lu, and the subsequent medications are also the same. I hope Dean Lin can turn them all into perfect infected individuals like Chairman Lu."
During the year that Lin Xilai stayed at the research institute, the new vaccine had been developed to its fourth version, and the vaccine that Zhao Jing used was not the original version that Lu Wei had used.
Why did we switch back to that version?
Based on Gao Zhixing and Jiang Wenxian's descriptions of the current semi-infected experiments, Lin Xi roughly knew that there were some problems with this project, problems that Zhao Jing couldn't solve.
So they thought of Lin Xi, the clerk who seemed to have successfully reformed Lu Wei, and that's why they forced her to join the experiment.
Lin Xi cut to the chase: "Where is the problematic sample?"
Jiang Wenxian said coldly, "It has been sent to the laboratory. Dean Lin will see it soon."
Lu Wei accompanied Lin Xi to the laboratory. As soon as they left the conference room, two guards followed closely behind.
Follow closely.
Lin Xi tentatively tugged at Lu Wei's hand, and the two of them then kept some distance from each other.
Nobody wants to be seen eating dog food up close.
But doing this wouldn't really get rid of the two spies, so Lin Xi didn't force it; she was just testing the waters.
She asked, "I've been focusing on vaccines and haven't paid much attention to the semi-infected individuals experiments. Tell me about the current situation. How many semi-infected individuals are there? And how many problematic samples are there? Chairman Lu."
Lu Wei: "Do you remember the time we sparred in the training room? After I showed my strength and they discovered my hardened bones, the base assigned me some combat missions to observe my performance, and then began the semi-infected experiment."
"Zhao Jing and the other researchers all tried it out themselves, and the rest of the base had no more reservations. Initially, they tested it on some seriously ill patients and soldiers severely wounded in battle, and the result was..."
Lin Xi predicted: "As a result, the bodies of seriously ill patients underwent changes, their conditions did not worsen and remained the same, and even after organ degeneration, these effects gradually became insignificant."
Lin Xi later secretly inquired about Zhao Jing and Qu Shuran's situation. They were both in the late stage of cancer, but they lived for another year after being infected with the virus, and they are still alive now.
Lu Wei nodded and added, "Most of the soldiers on the front lines are wounded patients or people who were accidentally infected with the virus. They all voluntarily received supplementary vaccines and became semi-infected."
"The result was the same: his bones hardened, his injuries did not worsen, and he even gained stronger fighting ability."
Lin Xi sighed: "President, do you have a list of all the semi-infected people? Including those in the base's upper echelons."
"We have a general idea, but the list of high-ranking officials at the base is unclear." Lu Weiyang waved the heavy document in his hand: "A large number of new ones were added today."
Lin Xi: "What's the current situation with those semi-infected individuals who have problems? Are they starting to turn into zombies? Or..."
The two chatted all the way to the laboratory.
When she arrived, everyone in the lab seemed to know what had happened, and they all respectfully greeted her as "Dean Lin".
Qu Shuran's eyes flickered, and she dared not look directly at Lin Xi.
Lin Xi entered the biochemistry lab without any hindrance and saw the "problematic sample" that Jiang Wenxian had mentioned.
Zhao Jing and several living samples were confined to the experimental table.
