The conversation between Yan Xilan and Gu Ziyu ended in failure, and both sides insisted on their own opinions, and neither of them could convince anyone. The former used strong tactics to directly announce the termination of the experiment.

Gu Ziyu obviously didn't expect his attitude to be so resolute, and after a short period of stunnedness, he immediately said to the researchers who were also stunned to continue, and then took Yan Xilan's hand, and wanted to go aside and talk again. But the latter was as steady as a pestle, and did not waver at all, and he even strengthened his tone and said sternly: "Stop, from now on, no one will be allowed to touch this subject again, and the consequences are not something we can afford." ”

The group of researchers who were confused all the time were pitifully sandwiched in the middle, looking at this, and then at that, with a helpless expression. Gu Ziyu finally couldn't take the young man's behavior as an ordinary trick, and he raised his voice slightly: "Xie Jin!"

Yan Xilan turned a deaf ear and gave an order to 008: "Xiaoba, destroy the data." As soon as the words fell, he suddenly braked suddenly, "Wait." ”

The young man raised his feet and strode towards the computer. "No, let's give it a little bit of a makeover. ”

As a system that has followed Yan Xilan for many years, 008 immediately comprehended his central idea with its high AI configuration, and tacitly smiled and responded yes. Yan then locked the source file containing the vaccine research materials, and then said to the confused crowd: "It will become our negative case, and here, I hope you will not repeat the mistakes of the past, after all, time is short, and there is not much opportunity for us to make mistakes." ”

Gu Ziyu stepped forward in a few steps, grabbed the hand he had placed on the keyboard before he could evacuate, and said in a strong tone that he had never had before: "Ah Jin, you should grow up." ”

"It's time for you to grow up. ”

Yan Xilan shook his hand to break free, "There are thousands of different people in the world, you say I don't understand, is what you see and hear must be correct? You won't do things that you can't imagine, it doesn't mean that others are the same as you." ”

He looked at Gu Ziyu fixedly and said, "Times have long changed, wake up." ”

Yan Xilan walked out of the office building that had been used as a research institute alone—almost all the researchers chose to stay and follow Gu Ziyu.

From the perspective of confidentiality, Yan Xilan only asked Gu Ziyu to clarify the interests and disadvantages, and the rest of the people didn't know anything, and only saw the stage where the two had a dispute. Whether extraordinary or mediocre, the first generation of scientific researchers had a relatively pure and beautiful vision for their own research topics and aspirations for them, and a large number of them came here after Xie Jin developed the immune agent.

They believe that the Dawning base has the ability and strength to engage in research in this area. But whoever has good ideals in his heart, who doesn't want to do something for the way of the world today.

In order to protect Xie Jin's personal safety, Qi Mingyuan did not announce the name of the developer of the immunizer, and only signed the name of the research institute. The early researchers were also given a gag order, so the newcomers under the inertial thinking, like everyone before them, regarded the person in charge, Gu Ziyu, as a great hero.

People's first impression is very important, compared with the arrogant and arrogant genius young master, the knowledgeable and gentle Gu Ziyu is obviously more likely to make people feel good, coupled with the aura of heroes, personal convincing is far higher than the former. Therefore, when the two disagreed, they would choose to stand on Gu Ziyu's side, firstly, they were influenced by the inherent concept, thinking that Young Master Xie, who had excellent professional knowledge but a greater temper, was making trouble again;

Even the group of people who were transferred by Qi Mingyuan at the beginning chose to stay after a short period of hesitation.

"What should we do, host ......" 008 said dejectedly, "the situation is very bad for us." ”

"There's no hurry. Yan Xilan suddenly stopped, turned his face slightly, swept the corner of his eye to the right, and then turned his toes and walked into the left path with a calm expression.

As we drifted away from the main road, the footsteps behind me became clearer and clearer. Yan Xilan really stopped, and said without looking back: "Come out." ”

The words fell, and the forest was silent.

Shaoqing, a middle-aged man who was so ordinary that he might not be able to find it in the pile of people no matter how he looked at it, came out from behind the trunk of the tree diagonally and politely called out to Dr. Xie.

Yan Xilan hummed and said lightly: "It's hard for you to follow me these days, if you have something to say." ”

The middle-aged man smiled, "Dr. Xie is refreshing, then I might as well be respectful, open the skylight and say something." He straightened his face and said, "The surname is Li, the name is long-standing, and Chang Lao is a pawn." He asked me to say hello to you and let me give you a message: the door of the Tenglong base is open for you at any time. ”

"Oh?" The expression on Yan Xilan's face began to become a little intriguing, and when he raised his eyebrows, he asked with a smile: "What does Chang Lao mean by this?"

Li Jiuwang showed a tacit expression, fanning the flames and said: "Dr. Xie, in fact, Chang Lao has always cared about you, and I feel extremely sad to know that you are not having a good time at Shuguang. You are a real university scholar, no more coarse than us, but you don't even have the treatment you deserve, let alone the honor that belongs to you. ”

Seeing that the young man's face gradually became gloomy, Li Jiuwang was overjoyed in his heart, but he said with kind words on his face: "Chang Lao also knows that the Qi team has a life-saving grace with you, and it is difficult to make a choice for a while, Chang Lao said, as long as you need it, he will immediately come forward to communicate with the Qi team on your behalf to ensure that both sides can get by." You saved us, we all owe you a great favor, and—"

Speaking of this, the middle-aged man sighed and continued: "Let the zombies run rampant, we really have no future, and we can bring hope," he raised his head and looked at the young man with burning eyes: "It's you." ”

The atmosphere fell silent, and Li Jiuwang held his breath and waited for Yan Xilan's response.

After a while, I saw him open his lips slightly with a smile and said to himself: "Dig the horn, dig the horn, why bother to say it so high-sounding, no matter how beautiful the rhetoric is, it can't hide your hypocrisy." ”

Li Jiuwangxian didn't expect the young man to be so straightforward and ruthless, and he didn't know how to react for a while, but the latter obviously didn't let him go like this, raised the tip of his chin, and snorted: "When I'm stupid, I can't hear your dirty thoughts about sowing discord? It's no better to do this kind of thing behind your back, so it's better to save your province, don't waste your tongue here." ”

Li Jiuwang, who was directly stripped of his face, forcibly suppressed the annoyance and anger after the defeat, laughed dryly, and his heart turned sharply and he was about to say something to redeem the disadvantage, and he sensed the fluctuation of the array - the water balloon in the palm of the young man on the opposite side was gradually condensed and formed.

Li Jiuwang's complexion changed suddenly, and he immediately made a decision, raising his voice and saying, "Xie Jin, if I am arrested today, I will drag you into the water!"

The surging tide of abilities was silent, and then slowly subsided. Li Jiuwang's expression was relieved, and he let out a long breath in his heart, and his whole body was a little weak. His right hand crept behind his back, and his abilities gathered and dispersed, turning into invisible threads that lingered around his fingertips.

The middle-aged man who survived the catastrophe said to Yan Xilan with a hippie smile: "That's right, let's see each other in the future, Dr. Xie, you have a lot, don't worry about nobodies like me, it's not worth it." Cautiously, he retreated step by step, retreated to the mouth of the trail, turned and ran wildly.

Yan Xilan watched him leave, until his back disappeared, and the corners of his mouth hooked inexplicably.

The controversy in the research institute alarmed all the high-level leaders in the base, and they immediately found both parties involved, and after listening to Gu Ziyu's statement, they all turned their eyes to Yan Xilan in disbelief.

"Dr. Xie, what are you doing here?

"We don't have a "must-have" set here, not to mention that Tenglong has helped us a lot. ”

"That's right, they sacrificed a lot of people in the last zombie wave, we can't do this. ”

"Sister-in-law...... Dr. Xie, tell me the truth, don't be unpleasant, this matter is about human life, and it can't be used for you to make it casually. And if you take 10,000 steps back, even if the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, you can't just give up the innocent people, you are too absolute. ”

"When did I say I was going to give up the innocent people?"

Yan Xilan, who has been silent, said loudly: "The environment has changed, it is difficult for ordinary people to survive in today's ecosystem, and they will not be able to go far in the future, so for long-term considerations, we cannot inject." Anything else, that alone is enough to get our attention. So what I mean is, give me a small amount of time, not a long time, as long as there is room to think, and I will hand over a satisfactory plan to everyone. ”

Fang Weiqi, who was the first to ask questions just now, glanced over Qi Mingyuan, who was sitting in the main seat with an unpredictable expression, still holding a basic calmness, and said in a clear manner: "Dr. Xie, let's talk about things, your proposal is very uncertain, if you don't think of a replacement plan by the deadline, what should you do? After all, time waits for no one." In my personal opinion, I support Dr. Gu's point of view, it can be done in two lines, which is also more secure. ”

In fact, this is also the idea of many people here. They just can't figure out why young people are so bent on doing their own thing.

Yan Xilan suddenly said, "Brother Fang, you should have heard of Pandora's Magic Box. ”

Fang Weiqi nodded, and immediately reacted: "You want to say-"

"Hmm. The young man said categorically: "There are some things that cannot be allowed to "exist". The dispute stems from the differences between different ideologies, and even if there is no dragon, there will be others who will come forward to check and fill in the gaps, so in order to completely eliminate this hidden danger, we can only choose to block it. Temporary transitions are not possible either. ”

Such rhetoric did not arouse everyone's sense of identification with him, who had seen too many lives and deaths, and could no longer bear the pain of loss, and began to become cautious in the face of life. Those who have survived to this day, more or less, have received the favor of others who have exchanged their lives for a way of life, and this heavy favor will evolve into a mountain under the accumulation of years, weighing on the hearts of those who feel guilty.

This oppressed emotion pushes them forward, but it also creates a sense of urgency, and when the light comes, it is like a flood that bursts its banks.

They can't agree with the recklessness of young people, not to mention something that hasn't happened yet. It is unreasonable to put humanity in danger again on the basis of speculation.

staring at Yan Xilan in silence, there was implicit condemnation in their eyes.

Just as these people were about to say something, a male voice suddenly interjected.

"Good. The man said, "How much time do you want?" ”

Now everyone couldn't sit still, "Team Qi?!"

Yan Xilan turned his head to look at him, the ice and snow on his face gradually melted, "Seven days, the observation period of the clinical trial is also seven days, and it is set at the last deadline of the original vaccine." ”

Everyone looked at each other, "This ......"

"Alright. ”

Qi Mingyuan stood up, looked around, and suppressed all the injustices, "Don't forget, it was he who developed the immunizer, and it was he who brought you to survive that zombie tide, without him, we wouldn't even have a chance to argue here." ”

The man walked towards Yan Xilan and stood in front of him: "Let it go, Xie Jin, I believe in you." ”

The young man looked at him in amazement.

"What are you looking at me for?" Qi Mingyuan said, his handsome face looked particularly good when he smiled. "You should understand that I don't get emotional. It's intuition, and it tells me you can do it. ”

Yan Xilan laughed.

He laughed a lot, but rarely did.

Just as the men of the previous world followed him to a foreign land, just to appeal to the confession that he remembered in his heart, and now a strong affirmation also makes him happy.

Qi Mingyuan's heart was agitated, only to feel that all the customs in the world had been exhausted by the laughter of the young man, and nothing could be better than him from now on.

The man turned around and said to the sluggish crowd with pride: "Since this matter starts with me, I will be responsible for it to the end." If nothing happens after seven days, I, Qi Mingyuan, will be dismissed, and if there is a problem during this period, I will be responsible for it alone. ”

He laughed at the changing faces of everyone, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Everyone, you should sell me face, how about it?"

Gu Ziyu returned to the dormitory in despair and sat in front of the window.

He didn't move, he remained in the same position from dusk until late at night. Until a sudden knock on the door woke him up.
