Mermaid Feeding Rules

The first-stage experiment of the new drug has received good feedback on mice. As originally expected, it can extend the lifespan of other organisms and return the aging individual's body function to its peak state.

Cyril decided to report the new drug to investors after the second phase of the trial.

"If it is confirmed that this drug is harmless to the human body..." A researcher in the same group was a little excited.

"Olier's team is said to have developed a new medicine, and it's been quite tightly covered recently."

Boyce listened to the others talking and suddenly remembered the discarded recipe in the lost draft.

The loss of the experimental draft was actively suppressed by Cyril, so only Boyce, Cyril and Matthew knew about it.

Boyce subconsciously glanced in Matthew's direction, and he frowned, seeming to have thought of the same thing.

After everyone else had left, Matthew came over and whispered, "How much do you think Olier's new medicine has to do with ours?"

"I don't understand why the teacher didn't expose this matter before. Olier has always been very good at pleasing investors. This time, Professor Chris had an accident. He was eager to get credit for his position. If he sends the results before us, The position of the next director of the research institute is determined, and we will have a lot of troubles in the future..." Matthew complained to Boyce endlessly, in his opinion, the matter should be revealed directly on the day the laboratory was stolen.

"As long as investors get results, they don't care who researched it first."

Matthew was a little dissatisfied with the investors, especially because they knew almost nothing about the experiment.

"They only care about money, and they don't know what a great discovery this is! They concealed the existence of the mermaid for their own selfish desire..." Matthew mentioned the mermaid, his eyes were wild, with a hint of madness, which made Boyce feel a little uncomfortable Look away.

Many people in the research institute seem to be like this. When they mention mermaids, they have a kind of frenzy that is almost crazy.

"Even if there is no new drug, the next director of the research institute is very likely to be him." Unless Professor Chris can come back alive, Boyce heard other people talking in private a few days ago, investors will parachute a deputy director Growing up, Olier should be eager to show his ability to investors before the newcomer arrives, so as to ensure that he still has enough voice after the newcomer arrives.

"The lost draft is the Z-III version of the formula." Boyce later flipped through the drafts left in the laboratory, and noted that the Z-III formula was indeed gone.

The effect of z-Ⅲ on the test body was more obvious than the latest formula, but it went in the wrong direction at the beginning of the research, and the test body eventually died because it couldn't adapt to the changes brought about by the medicine. The unsuitable reaction of the medicine will not appear on the test subject.

Because of this, Boyce and the others reacted so cautiously to the new drug and did not report it to investors for a long time.

Originally, the discarded experimental draft should be destroyed, but Boyce happened to meet Professor Cyril that day when he was about to deal with the draft.

"The draft of z-Ⅲ?" Cyril glanced at Boyce's hand.

"Yes."

The discarded draft was placed on the test bench by Cyril: "You go to the office with me first, there is a problem with the record of the last experiment."

He said again as if he didn't mean to: "There is no need to deal with the draft of z-Ⅲ, and it doesn't matter if the useless formula is lost."

……

"It's z-Ⅲ?" Matthew raised his eyebrows, and then showed a gloating smile. Olier was eager to claim credit for the experimental results, and he might not be able to discover the side effects of z-Ⅲ.

The two were talking when Professor Cyril suddenly appeared and walked towards them.

He looked at Boyce: "Do you have any idea about the medicine that can counteract the effect of z-III that I mentioned to you last time?"

Although Boyce didn't understand Professor Cyril's intention to study the counteracting z-Ⅲ medicine before, he still followed what he said and made some progress.

Professor Cyril showed a somewhat satisfied expression. After Professor Cyril left, Matthew said: "In the end, we still need to clean up the mess for them."

-

On the way to the restaurant, Boyce vaguely heard someone talking.

"It's dead again." Ai Wei saw that Boyce was a little curious, and explained to him that another mermaid went out of control during the experiment, and a researcher in Area B died in this experiment. It was broken for a moment, and then quickly calmed down, probably because people always died at the hands of mermaids, so the panic only lasted for a short time. In addition to regretting the dead, it was more fortunate to be safe and sound. .

It seems that I am used to this kind of thing, but I can't help the fear of death.

"The higher-ups have already looked for newcomers." After the researchers on other floors of the research institute entered the institute, someone would conduct a secret investigation to find suitable newcomers to fill the positions vacated after the death of the researcher on the fifth floor.

Boyce's ability to enter the fifth floor in advance also has a lot to do with the death of the previous researcher.

The researchers here entered the negative fifth floor of the research institute for various reasons, and knew the secret hidden here that would shock the world if it was released. In order to keep this secret, they were isolated on this small island most of the time.Every experiment they conduct has the risk of losing their lives, so they can only grasp what they can grasp, interests, status, reputation...

And these are obtained from the mermaid.

"Some people are willing to pay a sky-high price for the medicine extracted from the mermaid, and naturally there are also people who are willing to risk being killed by the mermaid for the sake of profit. I have lived for a long time under the anxiety of being killed by the mermaid, compared to people outside, more or less, There is always something abnormal..." There was a trace of indifference in Ivy's eyes, and his tone was like a bystander.

Boyce remembered what he had said when chatting with Matthew: "Either one day it will kill me, or one day it will die by my hands."

"Why are you here?"

"Money is one aspect..." The salary offered by the research institute is indeed generous, and Boyce heard him ponder for a moment, "I have always admired Professor Chris, and I heard that he wanted to come here and try it out, but I didn't expect it to be successful. gone."

The two were talking, and a researcher came over with a pile of sundries. Boyce and Ivey moved out of the way. He subconsciously glanced at him. His face was familiar. He was the researcher he had seen when he went to Group F last time.

"Is it Peter's thing?" Ivy also took a look.

Probably for the sake of efficiency, the researcher piled things very high, subconsciously turned sideways to avoid them when passing Boyce and Ivey, and accidentally dropped something.

Boyce knelt down and picked it up. It was an old pocket watch. After falling on the ground, a photo hidden inside was revealed.

On it is a blond young man with a warm smile, smiling and looking in the direction of the camera.

"Is it Beard's son?" Boyce asked casually. The person in the photo looks a bit like Beard, but Beard has a gloomy temperament.

"He has no offspring." Seeing Boyce was a little surprised, the researcher on the side explained, "Professor Beard has always been single, and I haven't heard that he has children. This photo shows him when he was young."

Remembering that the Beard people were no longer there, he sighed, and casually talked about the guesses of other members of Group F with Boyce: "Professor Beard has always been very concerned about the research institute where he came by airborne at that time, and wanted to make a results, so it is inevitable to be a little impatient in the experiment..."

"I just didn't expect that S-19 would rather die in the research institute than die with him..."

Someone called him from the other end of the corridor, and he responded, told Boyce to put the pocket watch on him, and said goodbye in a hurry.

Probably because the logistics ship just arrived today, so the menu of the restaurant is still relatively rich today.

Boyce and Ivy sat down with a plate, and Ivy suddenly mentioned another matter: "Have you been asking about the day of Zoe's death recently?"

Both of them knew that there was something wrong with the surveillance on the night of Zoe's death, but Ivy didn't care much about the truth.

However, he had heard some news from other people before: "It seemed that someone saw someone coming in from Olier's office that night."

Boyce frowned subconsciously, as if it had something to do with Olier again...

"By the way, are you going to the logistics to get things in the afternoon?" When purchasing materials, the logistics will help the researchers bring some things that are not included in the "contraband" of the institute.

Boyce nodded and asked Ivy, "Aren't you going?"

Ai Wei said: "I didn't have anything to bring last time. I still have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't go there."

He thought for a while and added: "Say hello to Anthony for me. By the way, ask him to bring me a diamond candy. Remember to ask for it from CR's."
