"Perhaps when I see Elephant with you, I should understand your attitude."

Downstairs in the laboratory, Mrs. Coolidge stood where she was, looking at Leon.

Leon paused to adjust the movement of the microscope, straightened up, and looked at Mrs. Coolidge gently: "What do you think of my attitude?"

"A few years ago, Elephant once assassinated me. Although I don't know why, he stopped at the last moment, and was subdued by the guards because of this, and sent to the Vavilov Research Institute as an experimental sample." Curry Mrs. Qi's gaze narrowed slightly, lost in memory.

"At that time, the top executives of the alliance all suspected that there were ghosts in the alliance, and cleaned them from top to bottom... But now it seems that they were not caught at that time."

"Originally I didn't want to guess like this, after all, you are Yu Ting and Molly's student, but now what I see tells me that you, Leon Collier, are one of the fish that slipped through the net. I guess Right?"

Leon didn't answer, put down the experiment with great interest, and looked directly at Mrs. Coolidge: "Before you convict me, maybe I have the right to know the basis for your judgment?"

"You released the spore virus and appeared here with the elephant again. That's the evidence." Mrs. Coolidge said with a serious tone and sharp eyes.

However, Leon, who was accused, just smiled: "Your evidence is very strong, and I seem to have no way to refute it."

Hearing Leon's admission, Mrs. Coolidge's tone softened a bit.

"Just this morning, they finally reappeared after many years. A group of people attacked the Vavilov Research Institute on the Dawn, and all the scientific researchers there were killed. Including your two teachers, Yu Ting and Molly." When mentioning her two old friends, Mrs. Coolidge clenched her hands uncontrollably, her voice trembling.

"Then, they took me to the ground. During the negotiation process, I only learned their code names - elephant, eagle, fox and several other animal names, which were exactly the same as the assassins a few years ago. But their superiors seem to be Added the word "small" before their address. "

Leon's face was a little pale.

Although he had heard the news of Yu Mo and his wife's death before that, there were no such details as Mrs. Kuliqi told.

Especially, when Mrs. Coolidge mentioned the three names "elephant", "eagle" and "fox", Xiang Qi and the faces of those big men flashed involuntarily in his mind.

But in an instant, he put these faces aside. These people have been staying with him in the Beilu base, and they have long since lost contact with the reactionary organization on the Dawn.

"They are the result of the second installment of Project Zoo. "At the same time, in the room on the third floor, Xiang Qi spoke sarcastically.

"Some unusable defective products. If the first batch is allowed to do this, they will never be caught by the rescue team."

Yu Huai: "..."

"At least they got away."

Xiang Qi heard what he meant - the "defective products" he spoke of could escape the siege, but he was caught by the guards back then.

Leaning slightly towards Qi, Yu Huai could almost feel his warm breath, and stepped back uncomfortably.

"As I said, it wasn't that they caught me. I let them catch me. I did it on purpose."

"why?"

"My pleasure."

"Uh..." If you get caught, you get caught, there's no shame in that.

Yu Huai didn't answer, his gaze bypassed Xiang Qi who was in front of him, and looked out the window, feeling a little dazed for a moment.

Xiang Qi used to be a member of the reactionary organization, the first batch of results of the "Zoo Project", code-named "Elephant", which Yu Huai had already guessed.

But he failed to assassinate Mrs. Kuliqi in the past, and was sent to the Vavilov Research Institute as an experimental product, which he never thought of.

Using living people as experimental objects, what is the experiment?

Xiang Qita, did he become a mutated vegetative because of this experiment?

Yu Huai remembered that before the spore outbreak, his parents were doing research on plants and animals. That subject seemed to be called "Research on Introducing Plant Characteristics into Animal Cells"?

Humans are also animals.

That's why the accidental appearance of the spore virus in the laboratory, which is only transmitted between people, makes sense.

But Yu Huai couldn't imagine that Yu Ting and Mo Li, two scientists who are so upright and kind, have dedicated three years to develop the spore vaccine, how could they do the thing of using a living person as an experimental product?

Especially at the moment when they just died, this kind of speculation is too vicious.

But the facts are indeed like this. Those who assassinated Mrs. Kuliqi back then were indeed sent to the Vavilov Institute.

This was signed and approved by Mrs. Coolidge herself.

"Science needs dedication, Mrs. Coolidge. Back then, you could understand and support the use of captives for human experiments. Why can't you accept me using vegetatives as experimental subjects?" Leon still smiled gently.

"It's different."

"the same."

"The subject that Yu Ting and Molly did back then was of great benefit to the future of mankind. They were for the benefit of more people. What's more, you also participated in it back then, you should understand."

Mrs. Coolidge retorted, and Leon did not deny her.

"Indeed, the research back then was aimed at enabling humans to acquire the excellent adaptability like plants one day. Unfortunately, a spore virus was killed halfway, ruining our dream."

"But I'm doing the same thing now," Leon said.

"If I can restore consciousness and mobility to a vegetative person, that goal will be achieved, in a more roundabout way."

"Ah!" Mrs. Coolidge choked up. She never thought there was such a solution.

She and Leon looked at each other. This genius, who is usually gentle, only revealed his hidden sharpness at this time. His eyes were burning, and the firmness and madness in them were convincing.

Mrs. Coolidge almost agreed with him. She asked tremblingly, almost cautiously, "You, you can do it? This sounds crazy."

"Exploring science itself is crazy, ma'am. Before the Dawn was built, it was hard for you to imagine that one day human beings could immigrate to space—even though it was only a small number of people." Leon spread his hands in a relaxed and natural gesture It showed Mrs. Coolidge's shock and excitement at this time.

"As for the progress, you just asked me a quarter of an hour ago. My research has reached a breakthrough, but I lack a parameter. I need a more sophisticated instrument, which is the one that was moved to the Dawn."

Mrs. Coolidge was lost in thought. She paced back and forth in the laboratory slowly and involuntarily.

Finally, she made up her mind: "If your research direction is really as you said, instead of creating some more terrifying monsters, I am willing to support you and provide you with the most cutting-edge scientific research environment. But I have two conditions. "

"First, you have to continue Yu Ting and Molly's vaccine development work. Before your research has achieved stable results, I need to ensure the safety of the current survivors."

"Second, all your research must be carried out under the supervision of the alliance."

"Okay," Leon agreed without hesitation, "but I also have a condition, I hope you can think about it."

……

"The conditions I promised you have been fulfilled, now it's your turn, Yu sir." Xiang Qi reached out and took off Yu Huai's breathing mask.

Yu Huai's helmet had already been taken off when he entered the door, and now he only wears a pair of goggles.

When Xiang Qi's hand reached out again, Yu Huai grabbed his wrist.

"If I remember correctly, you're only halfway done."

Xiang Qi tilted his head slightly to look at him, and smiled suddenly: "I want to play tricks."

Yu Huai pursed his lips and shook off his hand.

After cheating people behind their backs, Xiang Qi developed a new skill - cheating in person.

This was the first time Yu Huai saw such a thick-skinned person, and bluntly said that he wanted to play tricks.

"Back in words."

"Is that the first day you met me?"

"Uh……"

"Just kidding, although I lie, I never play tricks."

"You're quite self-aware."

After taking off the breathing mask, Yu Huai's face was exposed to the light coming in from the window.

Perhaps it was because the afternoon sun was too hot, Yu Huai's cheeks were slightly flushed, even though it was only a very thin layer, it was still obvious against the backdrop of fair skin.

He didn't notice it himself, but Xiang Qi, who was face to face with him, clearly caught it.

Xiang Qichui looked at Yu Huai, the shadows from his eyelashes made those dark blue eyes look a bit deep.

"One thing I didn't lie to you, Yu sir... I've seen you before, right here."

Regarding this place, Yu Huai only had two years of memory, and the memories of these two years quickly went through his mind, and Xiang Qi did not appear.

"I lost my memory." Yu Huai looked at Xiang Qi calmly.

"I know, I saw you after you lost your memory, but you haven't seen me, but I have seen you."

It means that Xiang Qi met him unilaterally?

Yu Huai thought for a while, and soon he discovered that during the time after he lost his memory, Xiang Qi seemed to be staying somewhere in the Vavilov Institute as an experimental subject.

"Have you read this book?" Xiang Qi's words suddenly changed.

He raised his hand to press the love novel on the desk, with five fingers resting on the black gold-plated cover, making the big hand with well-defined bones become more slender and white.

Yu Huai was distracted for a second, and then replied "Yes".

Then, Xiang Qi turned his head and looked out the window.

Opposite the small building, at a distance of more than ten meters, there is a low bungalow, hidden under the impenetrable green leaves of ivy, so quiet that it is easy to be overlooked.

Yu Huai knew where it was, and Molly told him that it was a warehouse of the research institute, which was specially used to store dangerous chemicals.

"That's where I saw you."

Yu Huai was stunned for a moment, he felt that this scene seemed familiar.

[It was late at night, he looked at the small building, at the shadow looming behind the window.He knew that in a few hours, she would open that window and embrace the sun of a new day.He could almost imagine that her dark eyes turned into bright light gray under the first ray of sunlight, which was really the most beautiful color in the world.

He began to look forward to the day like never before...]

Yu Huai remembered, this is the plot in that love novel.

But putting him and Xiang Qi in such a romantic and ambiguous scene is so unbelievable, and Xiang Qi certainly didn't mean to express it.

Sure enough, Xiang Qi went on to say: "You look very innocent in a hospital gown standing in the window surrounded by creepers, Yu sir. At that time, I thought that you would be an easy prey to deceive."

In the next second, Xiang Qi leaned over.
