Virginia was present when the anti-infectious agent was first discovered, and she remembers very well that she had watched a brief test.

Although she is not a member of the pharmaceutical industry, Virginia is not entirely new to it.

In her impression, the steps that need to be taken to complete and enter the production stage of this type of drug can be said to be quite complicated, and it takes a lot of time to test and experiment in advance.

It is hard not to be surprised that the laboratory of the epidemic prevention institute announced the success of the development in less than a week.

In fact, as Virginia thought, the drugs developed in the lab were only showing their value to these researchers.

"It was actually the result of an accident. ”

Newcastle turned to the side, and as he spoke, he pointed out several of the chambers inside the laboratory to Virginia, who were now occupied by soldiers from the Garrison, and judging by the equipment they had not yet unloaded, it was clear that they were the ones Virginia was looking for.

This scene made Virginia frown subconsciously, and the situation of these people, combined with the results of the successful development of the drug, made her wonder if the epidemic prevention center was conducting human experiments.

"You misunderstood, we are saving their lives. ”

Noticing the change in Virginia's expression, Newcastle hurriedly explained,

"An hour and a half ago, the Garrison Department sent a group of soldiers with abnormal hue values to the epidemic prevention center, and their state was extremely special, on the one hand, they had not yet shown physical signs of epidemic infection, and on the other hand, they had the same mental hallucinations as those of severely infected people!"

"Claiming to see another world?"

Virginia, who had come here to inquire about the mental state of the soldiers, heard Newcastle mention this matter and asked.

"That's right...... Did you know?"

"Before I came, I saw it with my own eyes in Community 7, another world does exist, what they see and what those seriously ill patients see are real pictures, but the seriously ill patients are affected because they tend to have a mental breakdown and have 'hallucinations' all the time, and they are affected by the polluted area in Community 7 one after another, and what they see should only be the picture that appeared in front of them at that time, and the symptoms of the two seem to be the same, but they are not the same. ”

As a person who has experienced it firsthand, Virginia can understand their feelings, ordinary people see such a subversive picture and the influence of the polluted area where the bone tree is located, it is strange if there is no problem with the spirit, even she relies on the potions provided by the association and her own special soul to survive.

"You mean they're not the same as the intested?"

Unconsciously, the cheers around him had gradually subsided because of the conversation between the two, especially after Newcastle's words, and they fell into another opposite atmosphere.

Dozens of eyes focused on the two of them, and the silence in the laboratory was alarming.

"Yes, to be precise, they are only mentally affected by the bone tree or the polluted area,...... You just said you were saving them, I want to know the result!"

Virginia didn't have the heart to take into account other people's opinions at this time, and said bluntly.

"They were sent to the laboratory with a nervous breakdown, and you should understand that there is almost no possibility of any cure when they fall into this state, and the result is nothing more than two things, becoming insane or being transformed into mutants of a monster with a mental pollution under the premise of being mentally contaminated, given that these people are all showing symptoms of an infected person, and the only drugs that can be tried to save them in the laboratory are still in the research and development stage, I have to admit that this is a forced attempt, which is what I just said about the accident, but we never meant to treat these soldiers as test subjects。 ”

Newcastle first briefly explained what had just happened, then stretched out his hand to lead Virginia inside, and then said,

"It turns out that our approach is correct, although the soldier's body has not changed after taking the potion, but his hue value is gradually declining, and we have reason to believe that the bone tree fruit ingredient in the potional has been neutralized by blending. ”

"A serum similar to snake venom?"

Virginia had received the news that the Garrison had relied on androids to break through the contaminated area of Community 37 and indeed obtained a few fruits produced by bone trees, and she knew that this kind of thing was no less poisonous to humans.

"You can think so...... This is the real-time hue value detection data of the first soldier to voluntarily try the potion. ”

In between speaking, the two had come to a cabin, Newcastle turned on the light screen outside, and called up a series of recorded data, as he said, over time, the soldier's mental state has indeed improved significantly,

"You don't think they're infected, but I think the reason for the abnormal hue value of these soldiers is different from that of the infected, but the state they show is still somewhat similar, and it can be seen that they are in the stage between ordinary people and the infected, although the medicine is ineffective against the infected, it can play a certain role in them, and if nothing else, its effect on ordinary people is even stronger. ”

In any case, the drug's effect on people affected by bone trees with abnormal hue values has never been expected to be relied on to cure infected people, and from the perspective of prevention and early treatment, it has fully achieved the desired effect.

Looking at the data on the light screen, Virginia fell silent for a moment.

It stands to reason that she should be as happy as Newcastle by now, and although it is unclear whether the drug will have a universal effect on the infected, it is certain that it will help ordinary people resist mental pollution, and that alone will be enough for the government to invest a lot of resources.

However, previous exploration of the underlying community and subsequent communication with the Grotesque Studio led Virginia to determine that Community 37 was actually abandoned by the Ouroboros.

In this case, the bone tree and the fruit it grew were undoubtedly part of the Ouroboros organization's deliberate abandonment, and now the laboratory under the epidemic prevention center uses it as the core material to make a potion with an effect close to a vaccine or even a special medicine to some extent......

To this day, almost every step is ahead of Thousand Sails City, and the Ouroboros organization, which has such a well-laid out, suddenly made a mistake at this time?

The strong sense of disobedience made Virginia vaguely repulse this potion, which at first glance seemed to have a very good effect.

"I think more testing is needed, after all, it's only an early effect, and no one can be sure if there will be sequelae. ”

It is obviously inappropriate to dismiss this potion developed by researchers in the laboratory of the epidemic prevention institute day and night based on personal intuition, and Virginia is only speculative and suspicious at present, and is not an expert in this field, so it can only remind them to be cautious in this way.

"Of course, the entire Thousand Sails City is involved, and I will note that we are already preparing to conduct a week-long follow-up and all-round physical examination of soldiers who have volunteered to receive the potion, and at the same time, we will continue to carry out in-depth separation of the potional in the laboratory, and strive to find the ingredients that can help the recovery of those with abnormal hue values in the shortest possible time. ”

Newcastle understood what Virginia meant, and this time of cooperation with Dr. Lecter or the one standing behind him gave Newcastle a deep understanding of the threat of the Ouroboros, the previous "Scavenger Project" had been calculated by the Ouroboros Organization once, and due to Grand's death and Lawrence's disappearance, the Security Department could not even find out what the two had done with the help of the "Scavengers" program.

The same thing Newcastle didn't want to happen a second time.

However, this was only what he and Virginia had in mind.

"Director, correspondence from the Supreme Council. ”

Newcastle's private secretary came in through the door, and the former asked the secretary to take care of his smart device because he needed to change into a protective suit for the experiment.

Newcastle and Virginia glanced at each other at the sudden request for communication, and each saw some kind of negativity in the other's eyes.

"I'm Newcastle...... I understand that there has been a breakthrough in pharmacy, but we ...... Ma'am, the vaccine is not made as a candy if it has not undergone rigorous testing and quality control...... It is absolutely not okay to use them for human experiments, not only does it violate the basic ethical principles of medical experiments, but it may also ...... This has come to the point?"

As the conversation deepened, Newcastle's expression became more and more helpless, and a paragraph was interrupted one after another, and the person who could interrupt the words of the new director of the epidemic prevention station so unreasonably did not need to say much.

"On the 13th and 19th, there were large-scale anomalies in hue values in the community one after another, and it was still at the crossroads, and it was less than 3 hours before the accident in the No. 7 community!"

Hanging up the communication, Newcastle raised his head, took a step forward, and lowered his voice to tell Virginia the news he had just received from the High Council.

As if to verify what Newcastle said, his words fell, and Virginia also received a communication request from the Minister of Security.

They want time for further testing, but the Ouroboros Organization and the Thousand Sails City Government won't give it!

The bone trees and polluted areas that have appeared one after another, even if the government of Qianfan City stuffs all the problems to those gods and ghosts, then they must come up with a charter to solve the problem in a short time, otherwise the affected people in the lower city will not give up!

The great success of the medicine developed by the epidemic prevention institute is undoubtedly the biggest good news at the moment, and it would be strange if the government of Qianfan City did not use it to make a fuss.

Indeed, the order given to Newcastle by the high-level parliament was simple, to advance the development of a vaccine at all costs, and even directly stated that they could organize a group of "volunteers" to cooperate with the experiment, and Newcastle could not even refuse.

Otherwise, he will be the next director of the epidemic prevention center who will be forced to resign due to overwork!

The current high-level council is already under pressure due to the strange events in Thousand Sails City and the increasingly chaotic downtown area, and they are eager to solve these troubles, and the "Yecheng cataclysm" that Virginia told Bulvo has only exacerbated this sense of urgency, so much so that it has forced the epidemic prevention center to speed up its action.

But can Virginia be blamed for all this?

The real cause is probably elsewhere.

The Gadamon rampage caused by Zhu Jue's breakthrough into the deep world forced the Ouroboros organization to speed up the implementation of the plan, and the bone tree riot in Community 7 caused the pressure on the Thousand Sails City government to start large-scale drug testing in advance.

Except for the one who was still waiting in the void for the time to come.

The game of all parties in Thousand Sails City has been out of the original track, and the expected plans of all parties have failed, and they have all launched new actions.

Chaos became the dominant tone, and both sides were waiting for something to come to fruition.

And someone is secretly trying to build himself into a hammer.

Vow to smash this situation!
