The door of the research institute was wide open, and the people inside seemed to have no sense of defense at all.

Or, he opened the door on purpose to wait for someone.

Mrs. Coolidge naturally walked in the front. The fluffy little curly hair was now hanging down in strands due to the wet water, which was somewhat embarrassing.

But her posture was as calm and elegant as usual, without being affected in the slightest, that kind of calm and dignified, even made people ignore her messy appearance.

Walking to the door, Mrs. Coolidge stood still, raised her hand and knocked on the door.

There was no response from inside, so she patiently knocked again, until Leon's "please come in" came from inside, and she went in.

Leon's voice came from a laboratory near the gate on the first floor. Obviously, he was conducting his experiments again at this moment.

It seems that after returning to Beilu Base, Leon basically only haunted the laboratory.

In this regard, Leon is no different than Dr. Yu and Dr. Mo on the Dawn.

"Dr. Collier." Mrs. Coolidge walked into the laboratory, and Yu Huai followed her to ensure her safety.

In front of the laboratory bench a few steps away, Leon was wearing a pair of goggles, staring intently at the instrument in his hand.

He is doing a titration experiment.

He noticed that someone was coming in, but he didn't pay attention to it. He didn't take his eyes off the instrument for a moment. It could be seen that his experiment was at a critical juncture.

Mrs. Coolidge quietly walked a few steps inside, looking thoughtfully at the reagents in the instrument.

Leon ignored her, and just calmly carried out the experimental operation under her gaze.

tick tock...tick tock...

Drops of the light green reagent slowly fell and merged into another transparent light yellow liquid, a faint trace of light green spread out, and soon disappeared.

Unknowingly, everyone's attention was attracted by Leon's experiment.

They watched the drops of the reagent drop down, and waited with bated breath, but unfortunately, the liquid did not change significantly.

Titration experiment is a very boring and long process, every time is a new expectation and disappointment.

No one knows which drop of the reagent will cause the change, but everyone knows that they will eventually get the desired result.

There is hope within reach.

I don't know how long it took, when the droplet fell again, a different phenomenon finally appeared.

The moment the drop of light green reagent came into contact with the light yellow transparent liquid, the joint turned into a strange blood red.

The droplet was like a rose of blood, contained in the liquid that had been dyed two shades of green by the previous reagent.

Wisps of blood red spread to the surroundings, and soon, the liquid in the Erlenmeyer flask was dyed a clear bright red.

The changes are not over yet.

Leon let go of the burette, picked up the Erlenmeyer bottle and shook it lightly, the red color seemed to have settled down, the liquid turned into sticky meat powder, and a thin layer had accumulated on the bottom of the bottle, which was almost red. black substance.

Obviously, the liquid that was originally very fluid became much thicker after going through this series of changes, and the speed of flowing back along the wall of the bottle while shaking slowed down visibly to the naked eye, and even hung on the wall.

Anyone present who had dealt with vegetative people could see that the liquid in the Erlenmeyer flask was very similar to the mucus of vegetative people.

Yu Huai followed Mrs. Coolidge, and was the closest person to Leon except for Mrs. Coolidge.

His sense of smell was very keen, almost at the moment when the liquid turned into meat powder, a very faint smell passed through the breathing mask and lingered at the tip of his nose.

Can't tell what kind of taste it is.

Unlike the vegetative slime outside, which exudes a thick stench, the smell of this flesh-pink liquid is more like the faint fragrance that overflows from the layers of tightly closed petals when the flowers are about to bloom.

There is also a little bit of green bitterness.

Smelling it carefully, Yu Huai felt a little familiar with the smell.

"It smells like white sage flowers." Mrs. Coolidge raised her hand and stroked a lock of curly hair hanging on the side of her face behind her ears.

Leon had already put down the Erlenmeyer flask. He took a glass rod and poked it into the bottom of the Erlenmeyer flask. When he took it out again, the end was stained with some unknown black objects at the bottom of the flask.

"It's indeed the smell of white sage." Leon smeared the contents of the glass rod on a glass slide.

He didn't look back, but he clearly recognized Mrs. Coolidge's voice.

"I didn't expect you to come here." After processing the sample, Leon finally took off his goggles and turned around, "The rescue team is also here."

Ke Le and Zheng Baiyu, who were standing at the door, were obviously wary of him. When they saw him turn around, they all clenched their guns tightly.

It was ingrained in everyone's mind that Leon Collier, who unleashed the spore virus, was an out-and-out danger.

Especially in the laboratory, seeing the flesh-pink liquid like the vegetative mucus he just created, this recognition made them more alert.

"I didn't expect you to come back here either. I thought you should... at least have some shadow here."

"It's not me who is shadowed, it should be someone else." Leon smiled, glanced at the two guns behind the door, and said relaxedly, "Here is the world's top equipment, although part of it was taken away by the Dawn , my experiment needs to be done here."

Hearing this, Mrs. Coolidge took it very naturally: "Is this the result of your experiment?"

Her gaze fell on the Erlenmeyer flask containing a flesh-pink liquid.

"It's an intermediate product. I haven't researched the final result yet. There is a technical problem that requires more sophisticated instruments to solve."

And this "more sophisticated instrument" was naturally moved to the Dawn.

"Maybe I can ask about your research direction?" Mrs. Coolidge's tone was still kind, as if she was asking about an unimportant matter.

However, Yu Huai's eyes were fixed on Leon as the conversation progressed.

Mrs. Coolidge actually asked Leon what experiments he was doing so directly.

——In fact, Yu Huai also asked before, but Leon didn't answer directly.

And Leon also told her very directly: "Some small research about vegetative people, about how to make them move."

Yu Huai's heart sank.

The long-standing speculation was said by Leon himself at this time, and it still had a great impact.

So... those mutated vegetative people in Ramon City are indeed Leon's masterpiece.

Leon didn't seem to realize how serious what he just said was. He just calmly picked up the freshly prepared sample, walked to another laboratory bench, and put the sample under the microscope.

Yu Huai clearly heard the sound of the bolt being pulled from behind him, and he raised his hand as a gesture to signal Ke Le and Zheng Baiyu not to be impulsive.

Mrs. Coolidge naturally knew about Ramon City, so she forgot what to say for a while.

She originally came to persuade Leon to return from the wrong path and continue the unfinished work of Dr. Yu and Dr. Mo, but now Leon's attitude of doing bad things makes her purpose of this trip a bit ridiculous.

Leon Collier was a genius as well as a madman, that was something everyone agreed on.

Expecting a lunatic to listen to the advice, it is still whimsical.

After a long silence, Madam Kuliqi spoke again: "Leon, why did you do this?"

There was puzzlement in her voice, but more disappointment.

She was disappointed in her old friend.

To this day, Mrs. Coolidge still clearly remembers Dr. Molly's happy mood when Leon first entered the Vavilov Institute.

Molly said that they discovered a genius who would surely shock the scientific community in the future and even lead human biotechnology to a new course.

She also still remembered that when the spores erupted, Molly found her, her eyes were full of pain and struggle.

Except for the day when Yu Huai had an accident, Molly had never shed tears for such a long time, and she told her that there was a problem with their research, and Leon released the problematic sample when the tears were all dried up.

Molly was such a gentle creature that Mrs Coolidge had no doubt that she was cutting crimes for wrongdoing pupils.

Perhaps the so-called problematic research is simply a cover for Leon's evil research.

Sadly, Leon has no repentance.

He didn't know how to repent for the disaster that caused the spores to wreak havoc.

His mentor passed away, and he didn't know how to repent.

The people from the Dawn are now looking for him, but he still has no repentance.

Such a disappointing person has become everyone's last hope at this time.

"Why would I do this?" Leon repeated Mrs. Coolidge's words in a low voice, as if he was asking himself or someone else.

He raised his head, his complicated gaze stayed on Yu Huai for a second, and then he smiled gently: "Because I have to do this."

The scene froze for a moment.

After an unknown amount of time, Mrs. Coolidge said stiffly, "Collier, I think we need to talk."

"Okay." Leon smiled calmly.

Mrs. Coolidge sighed, and waved to the members of the rescue team behind her: "You guys go out first, I'll talk to him alone."

After hesitating for a moment, Yu Huai nodded: "Be careful."

Then, he led the two team members out, and closed the door for the two people inside by the way.

"Colonel Yu, what if Leon Collier does something unfavorable to Mrs. Coolidge? Would it be unsafe to leave them alone?"

After just a few hours of getting along, Zheng Baiyu has already developed a good impression of this kind lady.

"No." Of course Yu Huai also considered this issue, but inexplicably, he chose to trust Leon, "He would not do such a thing."

Zheng Baiyu frowned: "He released the spores, and he also created the mutated vegetative. There is nothing that such a frenzied person can't do."

"I also don't think he is a good person." Ke Le scratched his head, a little tangled, "But he saved us before."

What Ke Le was referring to was that outside the Beilu base, Leon used the base's defense system to disarm Li Lin.

Leon is really an overly complicated person.

Yu Huai was about to say that they were guarding the door, and if there was something going on inside, they would be able to respond immediately, but before they could speak, they were preempted.

"Since you're worried, just guard here." After entering the research institute, Xiang Qi didn't follow a few people to the door of the lab.

He leaned leisurely against the opposite wall, but he could hear the movement inside clearly.

Xiang Qi looked at Yu Huai, and continued: "Well, it should be enough to have two people guarding. After all, Collier is not very good at fighting, so Yu sir doesn't need to guard here with overkill. Why don't we study it before we finished talking?" thing?"

Yu Huai: "..."

Again, before he could answer, he was preempted again.

Ke Le agreed: "I think it's okay, we two will guard at the door."

Xiang Qi smiled: "Then Sir Yu and I will leave first."

Yu Huai: "..."

In a few words, he was arranged by Xiang Qi.

Who is the captain.
