Chapter 41 041 Gene Fluid
The pharmaceutical factory was larger than they had expected. The neatly arranged metal shelves had been neglected for a long time and were covered with a thin layer of dust.
With a light touch of his fingertips, Chi Yingdong stored the shelf and the medicines on it into his spatial storage.
In addition, she continuously collected all the medical equipment within sight into her space.
"Team Leader Chi's ability is really good."
Qiu Yi sighed, her eyes filled with envy.
Luo Zhiyin and Han Li were equally envious.
Han Li, however, thought more deeply. She said casually, "It's okay, we're in the same team. The team leader's space can also help us store things."
Qiu Yi: "That's true."
Luo Zhiyin glanced at Han Li, then understood, "Sure, Captain."
Gu Meng, who had fallen behind, immediately raised his hand, "Me too, me too!"
Chi Yingdong: "Mm."
She knew they were trying to use this topic to show their loyalty to her.
She prefers this solution to murder to silence her.
As the group approached the door of the room with the sign "Reference Room," Gu Meng immediately mustered his fighting spirit and strode forward.
Having been protected all the way, it was finally her turn to shine.
Gu Meng took out his laptop from his backpack, his fingers flying across the keyboard, and code flashing across the screen.
Rarely having a moment to catch their breath, Luo Zhiyin and the others sat down on the ground.
But they remained on edge, knowing that the unknown dangers of the apocalypse were too great, and that no one dared to relax completely at any moment.
Chi Yingdong walked a little further away, and the little calico perched on her shoulder, meowing.
"Is there anything you want to tell me?"
Chi Yingdong was actually a little scared, but she hid it very well.
Cat owners are all afraid of their kittens getting lost. Although her kitten was a little different, the feeling was the same.
"Meow meow".
Meng Qinghe tilted her head up and touched Chi Yingdong's hand, rubbing against it affectionately.
Chi Yingdong assumed that the little calico was just bored, so he simply put his hand in front of it and let it do whatever it wanted.
Little Three-Flower immediately showed its claws and started gesturing in Chi Yingdong's palm.
A red mark was left on the pale, translucent palm after the fingernail had scratched it.
The kitten seemed quite pleased with the result and gestured even more enthusiastically.
Chi Yingdong didn't pay any attention to the slight pain in his right palm.
With her other hand, she gently stroked the kitten's fur, a hint of indulgent smile in her eyes.
Gradually, Chi Yingdong realized that the kitten was not gesturing randomly.
Every stroke of the little triangular claw seemed preordained, first a horizontal line, then two vertical lines.
Although the movements were clumsy, they were extremely earnest, as if they were trying their best to depict something.
Chi Yingdong stared intently, his fingertips tracing the marks in his mind: horizontal, vertical, vertical...
Is it "base"?
Xiao Sanhua seemed to sense Chi Yingdong's seriousness and slowed down to redraw the strokes.
Gene fluid.
Chi Yingdong confirmed what Xiao Sanhua was gesturing.
Their gaze shifted back, and there was the little black snake coiled up. After being injured, the little black snake had distanced itself from them, following them from a distance.
Chi Yingdong clenched his fists, connecting all the events in his mind, and also gained a better understanding of the people who had come with him.
It's Ye Rourou.
The things that the female protagonist goes to great lengths to obtain must contain extraordinary value.
On this point, Chi Yingdong and Meng Qinghe tacitly thought of the same thing.
For Chi Yingdong, the gene serum was merely icing on the cake, not essential.
But if Xiao Sanhua can use it, then she absolutely must get her hands on this gene serum.
Gu Meng did not keep everyone waiting for long.
With a click, the door opened.
As everyone stepped into the house, the scene inside surprised them all.
There were no piles of folders as I had expected, only a desktop computer, its massive frame almost filling the entire room.
More than a month into the apocalypse, many places experienced water and power outages, but this computer was still running, its hum echoing in the room.
Luo Zhiyin stepped forward and lightly touched the power button. The screen suddenly lit up and a password input box popped up.
Everyone instinctively looked at Gu Meng.
Gu Meng's fingers danced across the keyboard as he tried to crack the password.
However, the layers upon layers of robust firewalls are like impenetrable fortresses, making the cracking process extremely difficult, with numerous obstacles at every step.
Chi Yingdong was thinking about Ye Rourou who had come along. After a moment's thought, he said, "I'll put this computer into my space first and then slowly crack it when I get back to the base."
"Is there enough space?" Han Li asked.
She wasn't sure how much space Chi Yingdong had.
However, Chi Yingdong had already taken in a pharmaceutical factory's goods, so it's highly unlikely he could put them away.
Chi Yingdong pursed his lips and said calmly, "Installing one more computer is no problem."
Gu Meng was sweating profusely. He tried several more codes, but still couldn't get in.
In order not to delay the team's trip, she decided to do as Chi Yingdong said.
Just as Chi Yingdong was about to touch the computer and put it into his spatial storage, Gu Meng thought of another way.
"Give me five minutes, and I'll remove the memory card from this computer and take it with me."
Five minutes later, Gu Meng handed the memory card to Chi Yingdong.
Chi Yingdong didn't take the thumb-sized memory card, saying, "You keep it."
"Okay, sure."
Gu Meng put the memory card into the storage box and hid it in the backpack compartment.
On his way away from the pharmaceutical factory, Chi Yingdong neither encountered Ye Rourou nor saw anything that resembled gene fluid.
Standing in front of the car, Chi Yingdong turned to the group and said, "You guys go back to the base first, I'll go back by myself later."
All eyes fell on the little girl curled up in Chi Yingdong's arms, and they automatically found a reason for her.
As for the little black snake that had been following them, they all believed that Chi Yingdong would handle it well.
"Be careful, we'll be waiting for you at the base."
Han Li gave a word of advice.
Watching the car drive away, Chi Yingdong turned around, holding the kitten.
Stepping back into the pharmaceutical factory, without his companions by his side, Chi Yingdong no longer hides his true feelings.
She moved quickly, her sharp eyes scanning every corner, carefully searching for places she had previously overlooked.
The little black snake was struggling to keep up, panting heavily, its tiny black bean-like eyes looking at Chi Yingdong and Xiao Sanhua with a mournful expression.
When they heard unfamiliar footsteps, Chi Yingdong and Xiao Sanhua were in the pharmaceutical factory leader's office.
This is the last room that wasn't checked, and it's also the place where the gene serum is most likely to be found.
Footsteps approached from outside the door.
"Qiao Ying, it seems we're late!" Ye Rourou's voice was tinged with anxiety.
"Don't worry," Qiao Ying comforted softly. "Look carefully again. The packaging of the gene serum is ordinary; they might not be able to find it and take it away."
Both voices were too familiar, and Chi Yingdong immediately recognized who they were.
Even without her, the two female protagonists in the original book still met and acted together, demonstrating the power of the plot.
Chi Yingdong had originally planned to investigate the cause of the spacetime rift from Qiao Ying and find a suitable opportunity to meet her.
However, since they have the same goal, it's not appropriate for them to meet right now.
Little Sanhua pricked up her ears and caught the words "ordinary packaging." Her big eyes lit up instantly, and she scanned the room back and forth.
On the storage cabinet in the room, there is a pile of calligraphy, paintings and ceramics that have been treated with an antiquing process, which makes it easy to see that the collector has mediocre taste.
Amidst this pile of fake antiques, a bottle of milky-white medicine lay quietly, completely inconspicuous.
They searched every inch of the pharmaceutical factory thoroughly, and anything that might be gene fluid was stored in Chi Yingdong's spatial storage.
Chi Yingdong stared at the bottle of medicine, and the little black snake followed her gaze.
The little black snake climbed onto the cabinet, coiled its tail, and handed the medicine to Chi Yingdong.
Chi Yingdong glanced at the little calico cat, saw it nod, and with a flick of his finger, put it into his spatial storage.
There were people outside the office, but luckily the office wasn't on a very high floor.
Chi Yingdong quickly took out the rope he had prepared in his spatial storage and walked to the window.
She deftly secured the rope to the steel bars on the windowsill, tugged hard to make sure it was secure, and then looked down to exchange a glance with Xiao Sanhua.
The kitten understood perfectly, tightening its claws and gripping her clothes tightly, ready to pounce.
The next second, Chi Yingdong leaped and nimbly slid down the rope to the building.
