Chapter 44: The General Election (10)
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun is tilting, and where there is light, there will be shadows, as if intertwined with the bond of good and evil in the world.
The four of them arrived at the gate of Huali Pharmaceutical Factory one after another, with different expressions but all worried.
Piecing together all the information from each person's investigation, the animal flu incident finally has a more complete picture.
"Let me say it first, after bewitching Liu Qiang, he explained the cause of the incident. The matchmaker took the lead in saying: "A year ago, there was an outbreak of animal influenza in the eastern suburbs of M City, and this highly contagious new infectious virus immediately caused panic among the masses, and then the Science and Technology Department of M City invested in the research and development of seedlings. Livestock influenza was soon successfully controlled, but a few months later, the virus swept back in a mutated form. As the director of the Science and Technology Division, Liu Qiang immediately made a judgment and completely isolated the former patients. After repeated investigations, animal influenza viruses have strong survivability and can constantly mutate and resist seedling breeding. In the face of this new virus, the Science and Technology Department decided to hire Huali Pharmaceutical, which has the best R&D personnel and equipment, to work together to develop resistance seedlings. ”
Qi Fangfang said: "I also forced to ask something, Zhong Tao has a great interest in animal flu, of course he accepted the invitation, but his main purpose is not to save people but to make money." ”
Her tone was soft, and she said a word, but Hu Fei and the others could expect Qi Fangfang's methods, and they couldn't help but shudder.
Qi Fangfang continued: "With the participation of Huali Pharmaceutical, the animal influenza virus has been more authoritatively calculated, and although it is known that the drug can control the disease well, there is no way to eradicate it, and if the drug is stopped, the disease will be aggravated several times. This is the result Zhong Tao wants to see the most, the medicine can't be stopped, and the money will naturally be endless. ”
The R&D process was initially opposed by Lu Youguang. Tao Xi said: "As a scientific researcher, he still focuses on treating diseases and saving people, but it's a pity that he is really pedantic, and he was designed by Zhong Tao to leave evidence of accepting bribes, and for the sake of his career, he had to go along with him." The gold card that Lu Youguang received was also locked in the safe, and I took it out. ”
Saying that, Tao Xi had an extra gold card in his hand out of thin air, which was an important evidence of Zhong Tao and Lu Youguang's secret transaction, "After countless tests, the scientific research team led by Lu Youguang finally succeeded in developing a special drug, codenamed X18. ”
"X is a seedling. Hearing this, the matchmaker showed a hint of ecstasy in her eyes.
"It's not a nursery. Hu Fei said coldly: "I'll talk about the next thing." Since the outbreak of animal flu, Warren Pharmaceutical has been planning a frenzied conspiracy. The patients in quarantine in the eastern suburbs originally wanted to be treated, but Huali Pharmaceutical experimented with them every day in a different way, in order to completely cure them, because the animal influenza virus is not deadly. ”
"Take a live person to test the medicine?" Qi Fangfang was furious, and her hair on her temples fluttered without wind.
"That's right, because the masses in the eastern suburbs are too poor, and they are too slow to make money from them. Hu Fei's teeth were about to bite out blood, "Only by completely stimulating the animal flu into a deadly virus, and then finding a way to infect the rich people in the West District, can Huali Pharmaceutical make the greatest profit in it." ”
"Zhao Ziren and Yang Zhuo are the earliest infected people in the Western District?" Tao Xi immediately thought of the two wealthy businessmen who had disappeared.
"This is just the beginning. Hu Fei said: "Most of the first batch of patients have died, but it is not enough to make animal influenza fatal, Huali Pharmaceutical must also have seedlings that can completely conquer animal influenza." Not long ago, they finally got a living antibody carrier - Xu Tian. ”
"Xu Tian? is the person who didn't find it. The matchmaker exclaimed.
Xu Tian is a dentist in the eastern suburbs and a patient who has recently been infected with animal influenza, and he and Dong Doudou and a group of 30 people participated in the research and development plan of Huali Pharmaceutical, and they were locked up in the iron house of the pharmaceutical factory. Hu Fei thought of seeing Dong Doudou's miserable appearance last night, and couldn't help but feel sad, "Huali didn't treat the patient as a human being at all, in order to calculate the data in time, the patient was connected to various medicine tubes for a long time, until Dong Doudou only had the last trace of vitality left, and he died so inexplicably." Eighteen patients have died tragically without being devastated, and Huali Pharmaceutical has also continuously developed an upgraded drug, codenamed X18. ”
Tao Xi and the matchmaker glanced at each other, and they couldn't imagine that there was such a hidden secret behind them.
"So X18 is simply a virus that modifies animal flu to death. ”
"But what does the dictatorship want this virus to do?" A cold light flashed in the corner of Qi Fangfang's eyes, this matter often involves countless lives, and it must not be confused.
"Dictators naturally have their intentions. The matchmaker whispered, "Let's just get X." ”
"Warren invested a lot of money in the eastern suburbs to set up a test site, in order to test whether Xu Tian's antibody can fight X18, once the test is successful, X18 will definitely be widely promoted, and the death and injury are difficult to calculate. Hu Fei sneered: "So I've got X18, but I want to use it as evidence to destroy Warren." ”
Tao Xi shook his fingers and crackled, "Finally come to the step of relying on your ability." ”
Qi Fangfang looked at the matchmaker, knowing that it had become a two-on-two situation at this time. She and Hu Fei wanted to disclose the grievances, but Tao Xi and the matchmaker only came for X.
"At eight o'clock tonight, Xu Tian will be sent back to Huali Pharmaceutical for the last live experiment. I'll come here on time to save people. Hu Fei did not hide it, and made his plans clear.
"I don't want to expose my whereabouts. Tao Xi said: "But I can't slow you down too much." ”
"I'll come. Qi Fangfang looked at Hu Fei, "Save people first, then take X." ”
The matchmaker sighed in a low voice and said: "Then our last gentleman's agreement, at eight o'clock in the evening, is friend or foe." ”
As she spoke, she would stretch out her hand, and the four of them would put it on it one after another, and the cooperation would end, and whoever could stand out would have their own ability.
At eight o'clock in the evening, when the moon is in the sky, the sparse stars echo the lights on the ground, and the shadows of the day are exposed.
Hu Fei was dressed in black sportswear, covered his mouth and nose with a fast square scarf, and quietly touched Huali Pharmaceutical.
Qi Fangfang followed behind, dressed the same, but her heart was extremely anxious, "Why do you want to make so much trouble, just rush in." ”
Hu Fei squatted under the window of the guard's room, knocked lightly on the door, and a security guard poked his head out.
Hu Fei was as fast as lightning, grabbed the security guard's wrist, and hit the elbow with his backhand, and the security guard immediately collapsed to the ground, at this time he replied in a low voice: "If there is too much movement, X18 is very likely to be transferred, and where will I go to track it down at that time." ”
Qi Fangfang realized a little and said, "As long as you find where the X18 is, intercept it in advance." ”
Hu Fei agreed with her statement and was about to nod, but saw Qi Fangfang pat him on the shoulder and sneak in first.
For some reason, he followed her, bypassing the surveillance security, and finally came to a door.
Qi Fangfang raised a finger on her lips and gently pushed towards the door, with a creak, the door was unlocked.
The two of them flashed in, and the warehouse that had been abandoned for a long time inside, opened a few medicine boxes, and in the corner of the wall, there was actually a person squatting.
"Zhong Tao?" Hu Fei couldn't help but be surprised, in the corner of the wall, the guy who was tied up with five flowers was Zhong Tao, the president of Huali Pharmaceutical.
Qi Fangfang smiled shyly, when she took Zhong Tao away at noon, she had nowhere to go, so she simply chose the most dangerous place - the internal warehouse of Huali Pharmaceutical Factory, and detained Zhong Tao for many hours, and no one really found out.
Hu Fei also roughly guessed the reason before and after, and he couldn't help but be funny in surprise, that is, Qi Fangfang's character who didn't care about everything would choose such a place, normal thinking, the president is missing, no one will rummage through their own warehouse first, not to mention that if someone finds Zhong Tao, Qi Fangfang can also open the way with two fire dragons and rush out.
At this time, Zhong Tao was already like a frightened bird, with a dirty and smelly rag stuffed in his mouth, and there was obviously a water stain under his body, I don't know if he was frightened by Qi Fangfang, or he couldn't get up for too long and couldn't control it.
"I have a few questions to ask, and you are not allowed to shout. Qi Fangfang stepped forward and removed the dark rag.
Zhong Tao immediately coughed violently, but he should have been very afraid of Qi Fangfang, and he didn't dare to cough loudly, and it slowly turned into a muffled hum.
"Where is X18?" Qi Fangfang naturally didn't sympathize with his inner activities, so he asked directly.
When Zhong Tao saw Qi Fangfang's appearance at this time, it was tantamount to seeing a terrible ghost, and he retreated and said to him: "I can give you money, please let me go." ”
Qi Fangfang's willow eyebrows were raised, and she said angrily: "I don't understand the words! I ask you where is X18?" As she spoke, the flames in her palm rose, and the rag burned in an instant, leaving only a cloud of black ashes, emitting a foul smell.
"In the test building. "Life is at stake, Zhong Tao no longer dares to play tricks, so he has to tell the truth.
"Where is the test building?" Hu Fei pondered, "That tin house?"
Zhong Tao nodded again and again.
"I've been there, and there's nothing but empty houses. ”
"What I said is true. Zhong Tao crawled on the ground, trembling constantly, "There are three underground floors in the experimental building, and the ground is just to cope with the claims of outsiders, the seedlings are on the second floor, and the patients are at the bottom." ”
No wonder the building is full of evil, it turns out that there is another mystery underground.
Hu Fei exchanged glances with Qi Fangfang, and was about to leave, but turned around and took off his socks, formed a ball, and stuffed them into Zhong Tao's mouth again.
"If we don't expose Warren's crimes today, you'll die in this warehouse. ”
When I touched the vicinity of the test building again, the tin house was still white, and the big hole that had been blown out the night before had been filled.
Qi Fangfang moved her wrist and wanted to repeat her old tricks.
Hu Fei stopped her and kicked the door violently.
There was no loud noise, and the door was kicked open by Hu Fei.
"Oh no, Tao Xi and they are already here. Hu Fei exclaimed.
Qi Fangfang also felt bad, and only then did she realize that although the four of them came to Huali Pharmaceutical Factory on time at eight o'clock, the matchmaker's bewitchment technique and Tao Xi's ability to penetrate were indeed easier to find X.
At this point, the two did not dare to delay, rushed into the test building, and went straight to the end of the corridor.
In the distance, a small black shadow was still shaking slightly, Hu Fei stopped his steps and said softly: "Doudou, I'm back again." ”
The black shadow was Dong Doudou's ghost, and when he saw Hu Fei, he showed a smile, and said in a milky voice: "Big brother, have you found my parents?"
Hu Fei sighed in his heart, but kept a smile on his face, "Are your parents sick too?"
"yes. There was a trace of sadness on Doudou's little face, "Mom and Dad are both treating in bed, and I haven't seen them for a long time." ”
Dong Doudou said that his parents were still in bed for treatment, which proved that his parents were still alive when he died.
As soon as he thought of this, Hu Fei was also sad and angry, and he was so annoyed in his chest, "Doudou, don't worry, I will definitely save them, and you don't have to worry about it at that time, go on the road." ”
After saying this, Hu Fei only felt that the tip of his nose was sour, gritted his teeth and said, "Fangfang, blow up the door." ”
Qi Fangfang had been waiting for this moment for a long time, her hands flashed with fire, and she sank into the ground, and after a while, there was a loud bang, and there was a big hole in the ground.
Hu Fei jumped down, surrounded by some strange instruments, ticking and still working.
"Bomb again!" Seeing that there was no one, Hu Fei resolutely ordered.
Qi Fangfang's means did not stop, several fireballs shot out, this time the loud noise was even stronger, and the hole opened was also a little bigger.
Jumping to the second floor of the basement, it was noisy, with a vast area of several hundred square meters, dozens of people were looking dull and beating each other fiercely, thinking that they must have been bewitched by the matchmaker.
Crossing the crowd, Hu Fei immediately found that Tao Xizheng was holding a box in one hand, waving it with the other, and rushed outside.
"Stop me!" Hu Fei shouted angrily, like an eagle spreading its wings and jumping into the air.
Tao Xizi also saw Hu Fei, and pointed with his backhand, bringing out a sharp sound of breaking the air, pointing directly at Hu Fei's chest.
Hu Fei knew that this finger was even worse than the sword bullet, so he didn't dare to make a hard connection, so he turned sideways to avoid a kick at the same time, and hit the box that Tao Xi was holding.
As soon as the two of them touched the score, they were in mid-air, when they suddenly heard a sharp and strange sound in their ears, and their bodies paused, and the matchmaker rushed out of the crowd, caught the box, turned around and fled.
"Where to go!" Qi Fangfang screamed, and a rocket shot out rapidly in her hand, following the matchmaker.
Tao Xi could see clearly in the distance, and hurriedly shouted, "Stop!"
But it couldn't be stopped, and the rocket grazed the matchmaker's shoulder, hitting a huge barometric tank in front of the door.
In an instant, time and space seemed to stand still, and the air pressure tank twisted and expanded, and finally exploded with a loud bang.
The entire second underground floor was like a furnace of flames, a sea of scorching fire.
Several people hurriedly looked for cover, Hu Fei kicked the table over, and hid behind, but saw that Tao Xi was also under the instrument not far away.
"Let's go, it's going to explode here!"
After the loud noise, Hu Fei saw Tao Xi keep opening his mouth, but he couldn't hear what he was saying.
After a while, the tinnitus gradually subsided, and Tao Xi was heard shouting.
"There are more flammable and explosive materials on the first floor, and there are countless hydrogen and ethane, and when the fire spreads, we will all die here." ”
Before he finished speaking, Tao Xi had already taken the lead in escaping.
Hu Fei was shocked, as Tao Xi said, all the patients on the three underground floors must not be spared.
Now that the fire is breaking out, even if he doesn't care about X, Hu Fei can't protect himself, how to take people out, now that it is so critical, only Qi Fangfang, the incarnation of the god of fire, can open up a path in the sea of fire.
As soon as he thought of this, Hu Fei took a deep breath, looked at Qi Fangfang, and slowly spit out two words: "Save people!"
