It was the afternoon of the second day when Xiao Su entered the laboratory on the third basement floor again.

Yeager was still wearing his half-new white coat, his maroon curly hair was mixed with silver threads, messy, like a simple scholar.

"You look good today." Seeing Xiao Su coming in, he raised his eyebrows, "I feel better after getting enough sleep, don't you?"

Xiao Su was noncommittal, and Yeager was taking a vacuum blood collection tube to draw blood for him, while talking to himself: "Your leg lost consciousness after coming to Kiliguo, right? Was there any special omen before that? Such as a brief paralysis, or a sudden convulsion in sleep?"

Xiao Su was too lazy to answer, rolled up his sleeves, and handed him his arm.Yeager continued to babble: "You should get someone to massage your legs every day, otherwise the muscles will shrink further and affect blood circulation... Well, you are thinner than you look, the muscles in your upper arms are so thin, The way I see it, maybe your arms will soon be like your legs, completely out of control."

Xiao Su is very aware of his situation, and at the same time feels that he is really only suitable to do facelifts for helpless rich ladies in the clubhouse, otherwise he will definitely be beaten into a rotten dog's head when he encounters violent patients.

Thanks to the fact that there are no medical troubles abroad, he has survived for so long.

"Speaking of which, I'm curious, how did you find out..." Yeager pointed in the direction of the invisible door, "Didn't Fang tell you? I doubt it."

"It is said that after losing limbs, people's brains tend to be clearer, isn't it?" Xiao Su thought for a while and said, "I have read a lot of literature related to my disease, and experiments have shown that most patients after the acute stage They became more focused and their thinking became clearer and sharper.”

Yeager was a little puzzled, shrugged, and said: "Maybe, I have read similar papers. The operation of various organs of the human body is inherently ebb and flow, and there is compensation. For example, if a person is blind, the ears It will be more sensitive."

"Hmm." Xiao Su said, "So this is probably the reason why I discovered your secret—Since I can't go anywhere in a wheelchair, I have a lot more time to think about things, and my intuition has become much sharper than before. .”

"..." Yeager was speechless.

Xiao Su put the vacuum tube he took the blood sample into the centrifuge, and said sincerely: "So you said that my function degrades quickly, which is actually good for you. Maybe after reading your research data over the years, I can find The details that you didn't notice yourself will help you reach the pinnacle of success."

"..."

"you are welcome."

Yeager was even more speechless, and silently finished other inspections for him, and there was no more nonsense during the period.

After finishing the last ECG, Xiao Su tidied up his shirt and asked him, "There's something I've always been curious about."

"What?" Yeager was a little wary of his verbal attacks, and he became a little more concise.

"Everything you are doing now, such an excellent project, why don't you find a university or research institution to cooperate with?" Xiao Su asked, "This kind of project should be easy to get the favor of investors, isn't it?"

In this world, the development of new drugs can be said to be one of the most profitable industries, especially in Scandinavia, Sweden, where pharmaceutical companies are developed, the project operation is very mature.

Yeager was silent, and after a moment of deliberation, he said, "Because the corresponding diseases are relatively rare, and the R&D investment does not have a considerable return expectation, so things are not as easy as you think...In short, you don't know much about this industry yet."

What he said was very vague, and he avoided the topic like a superficial one: "I'm going to do a blood sample, and I've roughly sorted out the experimental records. It's on the workbench. If you're not tired, just look at it."

Yeager's slightly bent back disappeared behind the frosted glass door, Xiao Su looked at the blurred figure on the curtain wall, and vaguely felt that he had caught something.

In fact, he didn't dare to ask the most deadly question yet.Regarding the source of that ancient biological virus, there must be some ulterior past hidden.Except for Ngufu's death, it should be the biggest secret between Yeager and Fang Huize, and it is also the key point for them to check and balance each other.

The kettle was turned on, Xiao Su made himself a cup of black tea, walked to the workbench and began to look through the things Yeager had sorted out.

Experimental reports, detection conclusions, virus analysis... More than three years of data files are stacked up to the height of two people. Fortunately, Xiao Su has an excellent memory and is professionally excellent, so he can barely understand it. roughly.

I have to say that Yeager's scientific research level is still very strong. This person is probably the same kind of person as Fang Huize. He has flaws in his personality, but he has supernatural talents in a certain field. Such a large and complicated research is stunned. He does it in an orderly manner by himself, and his fighting power is comparable to that of a team.

For a few moments, Xiao Su even suspected that he had thought wrong before, maybe Yeager could really develop a targeted drug to cure this disease.

But reason told him that it was impossible. The dark samples, the cases of treatment failure, everything was a metaphor, and this project contained huge risks.

Day after day of reading and comparison, Xiao Su spent almost every day in the laboratory in the following days. Except for eating and sleeping, he spent all his energy on the piles of records on the workbench. among.

One late night, when he sorted out all the virus culture records in the past three years, he finally understood Yeager's research ideas.

Purely technically speaking, Yeager's ideas are not problematic. Over the years, he has designed many experimental routes, and there are a few plans that can be said to be very close to success, almost a breakthrough like a ghost.

But he never succeeded.

Because he went astray from the first step.

Yeager's research for so many years has always been based on the first-generation variant of this ancient biological virus. That is to say, no matter how he changes his subsequent plan, the original sample used is this generation of virus.

why?

Why did he circle around the first-generation virus plant like a ghost hitting a wall?Why not just overturn the first step and start the research directly from primitive organisms?

Xiao Su couldn't figure it out at all. Judging from his scientific research habits, Yeager is not a conservative person. He dared to break through himself in the follow-up experiments, but only in this step, he was almost stubbornly conservative.

One evening, Xiao Su was sitting at the table, drawing aimlessly on the paper with that purple colored pencil - he likes to do this very much recently, for some reason he always thinks the color of this pen is very beautiful and kind.

Maybe this is the charm of gay purple, he thought a little bored, it must be the change of sexual orientation that has biased his straight aesthetic.

"Yager—2017—2025..." Xiao Su calmed down, drew a few arrows on the paper, and slowly came up with a few guesses: In Yeager's situation, there are two possibilities, one He was indeed wrong, ignoring the possible problems with the first-generation virus, which led to the delay in the success of subsequent experiments.

The other is more interesting... Xiao Su wrote four words on the paper: "Primitive Creature".

Yes, he now suspects that Yeager has no primitive organisms at all, only the first generation of virus plant samples!

Everything suddenly became clear, and Xiao Su finally understood why they wanted to cultivate ELYsion here. Before, he thought Yeager was just for the convenience of research, but now it seems that the reason is far more than that. Maybe they have never seen the kind of ELYsion that can be cultivated. Ancient creatures that produced viruses!

Yeager and Fang Huize stayed here for five years, more likely, to facilitate the search for this creature.

It's not that Yeager doesn't want to overturn the first step, but he can't.

With a flash of lightning in his mind, Xiao Su remembered the question he once asked him - why didn't he find someone to invest in such a good project?

The answer is that he did not dare, because this project may not come cleanly. He has been dishonest from the very beginning. For some reason, he dared not disclose this epoch-making discovery to the industry.

The person who cultivated the first generation of virus plants is probably the real master of this project and the well-deserved initiator.

So who is this person?Where is he?

Holding the pen in his hand, Xiao Su thought for a long time, a possibility that he did not want to believe but was vaguely certain in his mind - that person probably no longer exists.

With the means of Yeager and Fang Huize, if the person is still alive, he will never escape their palms. For so many years, Yeager would rather run around in a difficult situation like a ghost hitting a wall than overthrow the first step of the experiment, which can almost prove that That person is gone.

I just don't know if Yeager stole the results after his death, or if he was alive...

"Damn it..." Xiao Su cursed in a low voice, not knowing whether he was feeling sorry for that man's fate, or indignant at Yeager's shamelessness.

After hesitating again and again, he decided to take a risk.

At midnight, Xiao Su walked into the laboratory on the third basement floor again.

The coffee machine was steaming, and the air was filled with a bitter and mellow aroma. Yeager was sorting out the data during the day, and he was a little surprised to see him come in: "Why are you here? It's almost twelve o'clock, you need to rest, what do you want to see?" Come back tomorrow morning."

Xiao Su walked to the table and looked at the record in his hand.Yeager handed it to him, and poured a cup of coffee by the way: "Would you like some? But it may affect sleep."

Xiao Su shook his head, and drove the wheelchair towards the sterile room: "I want to go in and have a look, is that okay?"

Yeager hesitated: "There are only some instruments and samples inside, and all the data are in the report."

"Do I need to ask Fang Huize?" Xiao Su said forcefully.

Yeager frowned, and opened the frosted glass door himself: "That's not what I mean, there's really nothing to keep secret, I just don't think it's necessary."

Xiao Su nodded, tapped the sensor on the wall, the purification nozzle made a huge roar, and a few seconds later, the inner door opened.

The instruments here are more advanced than imagined, all of them are the latest models, some of them have been used by Xiao Su, and some of them have only been seen in the documents.There was a sample cabinet at the end of the wall. He walked to the door of the cabinet and looked at the densely packed petri dishes inside. Yeager had good working habits, and the samples were stored in a very rigorous manner by time and pedigree.

"What are you looking at?" Yeager followed in, perhaps aware of something, his tone was relaxed, but his body was a little tense.

Xiao Su remained silent. After watching for a long time, until the air became stiff, the smile on Yeager's face could no longer be maintained, and he asked, "Yager, where are the primitive creatures?"

Yeager froze, as if he was holding his breath.Xiao Su turned his head slowly and looked at him: "You only have the first-generation virus in your hands from the beginning to the end, don't you?"

The veins on Yeager's temple popped, and Xiao Su said without answering, "You haven't found the primitive creature yet, have you?"

Yeager's throat slid down, and a drop of sweat rolled from his temples.

Xiao Su has almost verified his guess, weighed it over and over in his heart, and finally asked softly: "Where is that person?"

"Who?!" Yeager was startled suddenly, and the light brown pupils shrank suddenly, almost as small as the tip of a needle.

A dangerous aura rose from the distance of less than one meter between the two. Xiao Su felt his hairs explode, but he did not evade at all, and asked firmly: "That is somewhere in the Great Rift Valley of East Africa. Where is the person who discovered the ancient creature?"
