Chapter 341: The Jiang Family
"Out of thin air."
Feng Mao described the Jiang family like this.
"The Jiang family, in fact, is not a family at all, there are only two people: Jiang Yuan, and his son Jiang Chen. Before the end times, almost no one had heard of these two names. But at the beginning of the apocalypse, the research institute they set up developed the Ability Growth Injection, which became famous in one fell swoop. β
The beginning of the apocalypse?
Now the end times have only lasted four months, okay?
"How long did it take them to figure out the potion?" Fang Ru asked.
Feng Mao shrugged: "I don't know. However, the first version of the Ability Growth Injection was first used two weeks after the outbreak of the zombie virus in Beiling City. That's right, the northern base was not fully built at that time - hey Xiaoru, why did you kneel on the ground! You okay? β
ββ¦β¦ What to do cousin, I suddenly feel worthless. Fang Ru bent forward in frustration, "People are doing research while fleeing, sleeping in the open air, and they have made a potion for ability growth in half a month." What about me? Nest in the base every day, eat and drink well, everything is fine, it's been almost a month, Li Si asked me for the zombie vaccine yet. β
Feng Mao: ......
"By the way, why does Li Si want you to make a zombie vaccine, and she will go to the research institute?"
After Fang Ru returned to his normal sitting posture, Feng Mao asked puzzledly. In the Fang family's medicinal heritage, there seems to be no such thing as microbiology. Making vaccines is not Fang Ru's forte.
"I don't know. I told her, and she threw me a sentence: 'If I can find a research institute, I can still come to you?' 'Is there something wrong with this institute?' β
Even if the research institute was established at the same time the second when the zombie virus spread to Beiling City. At the same time, the study was only two weeks, and it was estimated that it would not be enough for them to investigate and sample. No, maybe not even enough time to gather enough people.
It is said that before the end of the world, Jiang Yuan and Jiang Chen were the core researchers of the Institute of Chemistry and Biology. Today's research institute is staffed by the same staff and equipment as the Institute. Feng Mao explained, "As for the reason why he was able to research the Stranger Growth Injection so quickly, there was a researcher who was bitten by a zombie, and the director wanted to save him, so he directly crushed the zombie crystal nucleus into powder and hit that guy's veins. Then the poor researcher's ability jumped from the first to the third at once, and then the muscles of the veins exploded. One side transforms into a zombie. β
Fang Ru wiped her sweat. "Is the Jiang family so violent?"
The style of painting doesn't seem quite right.
"Wrong." Feng Mao said. "The director is not Jiang Yuan, nor is it Jiang Chen. After the base was completed, the Jiang family father and son gradually faded out of the research institute and devoted themselves to developing the Jiang family's power in the base. If not for them. No matter how powerful the institute is. will only become a slave of the Qin family or the Ning family. β
So the current research institute is not a slave of the Jiang family?
Fang Ru pursed her lips disapplausively. But. Fortunately, the fierce director is not the Jiang family, otherwise with the simple-minded and rough Ning family and the deep-minded Qin family, the northern base does not need zombies to attack. You can die.
"You have asked so much about the Jiang family, do you want to cooperate with them?" Feng Mao asked.
"Even if I want people, I have to be able to look up to me." Fang Ru was embarrassed, "It's just curious." It is said that there are three giants in the northern base, but you look at the Qin family, two days ago, they organized a mighty zombie cleanup, which is said to have reduced the radius of zombies' activities by ten kilometers. The Ning family jumped up and down every day, and the twins wanted to go crazy if they wanted to get Qin Zhen into their hands. What about the Jiang family? There is almost no news of them, but whether it is the Qin family or the Ning family, they are very jealous when it comes to them. Can this be done just because an injection has been developed for three months? β
"Isn't that enough? The formula of the injection is not passed on, even if the Qin family and the Ning family know about it, they can only be made by researching all the conditions. The other two families who want to strengthen their abilities can only ask the research institute to ......" Feng Mao suddenly remembered something, "Fang Ru, do you think the Qin family and the Ning family will have such an idea for you?!" β
"What's the idea? Let me replace the Institute? β
Fang Ru shrugged. "I can't do it."
"But they don't think you can't do it." Feng Mao Huoran stood up and anxiously paced back and forth in the room, "No." It's too dangerous. You still don't want to sell potions in the future. I'll be paid enough to support you and Kirito. β
"There's no need to be so nervous." Fang Ru patted her cousin on the shoulder, "Isn't this also good?" I haven't taken advantage of other people's abilities yet. Wouldn't it be nice to have a little bit of value to be used? Moreover, the Ning family and the Qin family are getting bigger and bigger for the sake of marriage. Even if they are naΓ―ve and in-laws, they can't really be of the same mind. I had a chance to maneuver between them. Besides,"
Fang Ru glanced towards the kitchen and lowered her voice. "You still have the burden of the second aunt on you. I can take care of myself, don't worry about it. I still have something to do, so I'll go first. β
"Hey, Xiaoru, don't go." The second aunt caught up, carrying a full plastic bag in her left and right hands, "Take these back, I've made the braised pork, fish, and shredded pork, just go back to the pot and heat it up." Rice and vegetables are in these two bags, don't just eat meat every day, be careful of getting on fire! The fruit is divided according to your talent, and every day you take out a bag and eat it before entering the alchemy room. The current medical conditions are not as good as before, and if you don't eat fruit for a month in order to refine medicine like you did when you were a child, you will almost get sepsis in the end, but no one can save you! These are for Tongtong, and they are all equally divided. These are for Li Zhu. After all, it's your assistant, and you can't treat him badly......"
"Second aunt, I have it at home, you can keep it for food." Fang Ru couldn't cry or laugh. That's enough stuff for them to live for a week. In fact, although Feng Mao's position in the base's administrative system is not low, he is far from being a privileged class. Compared to Fang Ru, who was full of delicious food in the space, they needed these things more.
"You just take it." Feng Mao also stuffed things into Fang Ru's hands with his mother, "It would be nice if you could live in my house." β
The second aunt also regretted it. If it weren't for the fact that their family didn't have the conditions to refine potions, Fang Ru wouldn't have thought about leaving again when he came.
Well, why don't you decorate the second bedroom?
"I'm leaving."
Fang Ru snatched the plastic bag and quickly rushed out of the second aunt's house, catching the second aunt and her cousin off guard.
Leaving the range that could be seen by the second aunt and cousin, Fang Ru originally wanted to put things into the space, but suddenly changed her mind. Although it was heavy, it made her feel very grounded.
When she got home, the smile on her face faded away.
Li Si and Chu Ci were standing at the door waiting for her. (To be continued......)
