Tang Zhiyuan: ...
Rather not speak if it's not the truth.
After returning to his room, Tang Zhishen did not approach Xu Qian. Instead, he sat down on a nearby sofa.
The girl's pretty face was buried in the quilt, and tear tracks seemed to still linger on her cheeks.
Why would she suddenly want to develop a vaccine?
When was the base in Province N established?
She was shrouded in a heavy veil of mystery...
From his brother's brief words, he could sense Xu Qian's love for this land.
The man took out his phone, tapped a few times, and sent the message.
If she wanted to develop a vaccine, then let her develop it. He only wanted to know why she was so sad.
He understood Xu Qian; she was a resilient person. She wouldn't be like this unless something truly upsetting had happened.
He vaguely guessed that Province N must have been alive, but now it was dead...
When she woke up, Xu Qian was lying in the large bed, enveloped by a familiar scent. It was her own bed.
A sticky note was attached to the bedside table. Ah Shen said breakfast was ready, he was going to work, and told her to rest well.
Xu Qian pressed her temples, got up, put on her clothes, and obediently ate breakfast.
After breakfast, she let Fiaya out to roam on her own while she went to the laboratory to check on the progress of the breeding experiment.
She wasn't joking yesterday.
Seeking revenge on Song Xiaoping? Too childish.
"System, what can you provide for the new vaccine?"
The system needed to save the apocalypse, so it would definitely provide assistance for the new vaccine.
"Ding, host, please rest assured, the system will do its best. The system has integrated a set of data into your backpack, which can be provided to target number six for research."
"Okay."
Xu Qian's lips twitched, but no smile emerged.
She would succeed.
***
There was a commotion in the experimental building. The results of the breeding experiment were out. The mutated pups, piglets, and calves that were born had no physical problems, nor did the female or male parents.
Tang Zhiyuan's expression relaxed slightly. Although the serum couldn't be used on humans yet, the ability of mutated beasts to reproduce was highly beneficial to the base.
At the very least... there would be no shortage of meat.
It would take at least a year or a year and a half before it could be used on humans.
"Knock knock knock."
Everyone turned their heads at the sound. A familiar figure appeared at the door. Everyone consciously stepped aside.
Xu Qian was now a meritorious official of the Tang Base. Her contributions to experimental research and base defense were immense, and everyone respected her greatly.
"Xu Qian, why are you here? You need to rest well."
Tang Zhiyuan stood up and pulled a chair over for her to sit down.
Xu Qian got straight to the point, "The breeding experiment results are not bad?"
The man nodded. "It's just that the reproduction speed is too fast, and it still needs time for research."
"Mhm, don't delay too long. I remember there are some death row inmates in the prison, right? You can capture them for experiments."
The girl's tone was light, but she spoke of life and death.
The legal system of the Tang Base was much more comprehensive than that of the Hope Base, so there were indeed many death row inmates.
The man hadn't thought of this. "I'll go ask my brother for permission."
"Wait."
As a thought flashed through Xu Qian's mind, a stack of documents appeared in her palm. This was the consolidated data from the X Group provided by the system, which should be very useful for the experiment.
"Take a look at these experimental data. They should be of great help to the new vaccine."
Tang Zhiyuan didn't ask further and began to read the documents.
Additionally, Xu Qian took out all 20 vials of the D-country serum. She also brought out everything related to the X Group and the Yu Base from her spatial storage, including experimental data, experimental pods, and so on, piling them up to fill the entire conference room.
Tang Zhiyuan became engrossed in the documents and paid no attention to what Xu Qian was doing.
Xu Qian hesitated for a moment before exchanging two bottles of healing serum from the system, one low-grade and one mid-grade.
She hoped it would be helpful for the experiment.
