Chapter 55: The Evil Pill
More than ten years ago, Li Mingyu was just an ordinary researcher. He was involved in a secret biological research. A lot of research has been done on a strange vine plant that was born in antiquity. And this plant, according to the information left over from ancient times, is called "bloodthirsty vine".
During this time, he met Gongsun Jiu, who was also newly recruited. Because of their similar interests, they quickly became good friends who talked about everything. Li Mingyu even introduced his cousin to Gongsun Jiu, wanting to promote a good story.
But for some reason, his cousin finally rejected Gongsun Jiu. This made Li Mingyu feel an inexplicable sense of guilt towards Gongsun Jiu. Therefore, whenever Gongsun Gu asks him something, he always knows everything and says everything.
It was at that time that their research team discovered a terrible property of bloodthirsty vine spores: parasitism. Initially, no one paid much attention to this feature. Everyone's eyes are still on analyzing the biological information of the bloodthirsty vine.
It wasn't until an accident that they learned how terrible this trait was. During that incident, more than a dozen researchers were parasitized by the spores of the bloodthirsty vine. But then, in the process of healing them, more people were parasitized, unexplained.
The accident ended up killing nearly a thousand people. Before that accident, Li Mingyu was pulled away by the sudden visit of Gongsun Jiu and played all night, and he was lucky to escape the disaster.
Since then, the spores of the bloodthirsty vine have been listed as high-risk items that are strictly forbidden to touch, and they have been strictly controlled. But Li Mingyu accidentally discovered that Gongsun Jiu was secretly studying the spores of the bloodthirsty vine, and also extracted many parasitic spores from the bodies of those who died in that accident.
This discovery shocked him. Under Li Mingyu's serious warning, Gongsun Jiu said that he would completely abandon this crazy research. Soon after, Gongsun Jiu was transferred. transferred to the research institute where Li Xiaohui worked, and engaged in the work of grafting bloodthirsty vine seedlings.
Hearing this, Wei Yu interrupted loudly: "Wait, so Gongsun Gu has been engaged in the research of bloodthirsty vines?" What does this have to do with the medicine you take? ”
Li Mingyu looked at Wei Yi and said, "It has a lot to do with it. He was later punished for something. According to the records of those who punished him, he had been secretly developing a dangerous drug. ”
Wei Yi understood a little. He asked, "The kind of medicine he researched is the one for you to eat?" ”
Li Mingyu nodded and said, "That's right." This had a huge impact at the time. There are many people who have been dismissed because of his involvement. That's when I was forced to change careers. ”
He paused, then continued, "I later rummaged through his notes. Some information was found. Only then did he know that he had developed a method that could control the spores of the bloodthirsty vine. With the help of that method, a pill was developed. ”
When Li Mingyu said this, his face suddenly changed. Wei Yu hurriedly asked with concern, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Mingyu waved his hand and said, "It's just that thinking about the process of refining that pill, it's really too inhumane." ”
Wei Yi asked, "How is it a miserable and inhumane law?" ”
Li Mingyu eased his nerves and said, "You must first parasitize the spores of the bloodthirsty vine on the living body." Then, from the host's body, dig out the seedlings that have been induced. After soaking in a special medicinal juice, it is divided into dozens of sections, which are wrapped in sugar coating and special medicinal puree. That's the production process. ”
When Wei Yi heard about the live experiment, he was instantly furious. He looked at Li Mingyu in extreme shock and said, "What? Experimenting on living subjects? Gongsun Dove, he is so mad! “
Wei Yi jumped up, clenched his fists angrily, and said loudly, "Damn! Damn it! Disgusting! ”
Nangong Rong and Situ Nan hurriedly spoke out to comfort Wei Yi for a while. Wei Yi slowly calmed down his emotions at this time. He turned his head to look at Nangong Rong and asked, "By the way, Nangong Rong, I really want to know, whether that punch was hit by you?" ”
Nangong Rong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "What punch?" What did I hit? ”
Wei Yi slowly recounted the scene he had experienced again. After he finished speaking, he found that Nangong Rong did not speak, but frowned tightly, thinking about something without saying a word.
Wei Yi looked at Situ Nan on the side, and saw that Situ Nan was also looking at Nangong Rong strangely. He didn't know what Nangong Rong was thinking, but that matter had been haunting his heart, and it had almost become a heart disease. He had to listen to Nangong Rong give a reasonable explanation in person before he could be completely relieved.
Nangong Rong was silent for a moment, slowly raised his head, and said, "This thing is indeed very weird. But if I'm not mistaken. This must be a ghost done by Gongsun Dove. ”
Nangong Rong's answer, although it did not completely solve the doubts in Wei Yi's heart, he felt that Nangong Rong was trustworthy. He nodded and said, "Then let's talk about this later." Let's get out of here now. And don't give up. There is always a way to solve your problems. ”
Nangong Rong and Li Mingyu both shook their heads and sighed. Why didn't they want to tell themselves that there was no obstacle in the world that they couldn't overcome. But that's just the way it is. Once he has taken the pill made from this parasitic spores, he may be ordered by Gongsun Gu to work for him for temporary safety; Or you can just wait quietly for death, and there is no other way.
And, to their added sadness, they couldn't go back to safety. Because they can almost be identified as hosts parasitized by hemophilic vine spores.
In this way, even if they go back, they will endanger the safety of others. Rather than returning to the safe zone, being locked in an isolation room, and leaving quietly, it is better to live the rest of this precious time here.
But Wei Wei didn't think so. He had personally experienced a parasitic incident, and with Shen Cheng's case behind, he naturally wouldn't think that Nangong Rong and Li Mingyu were irretrievable. He chuckled and said slowly, "Don't be discouraged. Maybe I can cure you. ”
Nangong Rong and Li Mingyu were shocked when they heard Wei Yi's words. They looked at Wei Yi in disbelief and said in unison, "Really? ”
Wei Yi nodded and said, "I think so." But we have to get out of here first. I know a place where maybe there is something that can heal you. But that place seems to be quite far away. How much longer will you guys last? ”
Nangong Rong hurriedly ran to the pile of packages on the side, rummaged for a long time, and found a holographic map. He took the map, ran to Wei Yu in a few steps, and spread the map on the ground.
Nangong Rong pointed to the map and asked Wei Yu, "Where are you talking about?" Can you point that out on that? ”
Wei Yi carefully identified the topography, and in a place on the map, he nodded a little and said, "This is probably the location." But not entirely sure. ”
Nangong Rong and the others gathered in front of the map and carefully distinguished it for a while. After a while, Nangong Rong said with a happy face: "It's a coincidence." I just recognize that place. ”
Wei Yi asked strangely, "What?" Do you know that place? ”
Nangong Rong pointed to the place Wei Yu pointed to and said, "I may have been to the place you said." ”
After he finished speaking, he looked around, pointed in one direction, and said, "There is a secret door over there, and the path behind the door may lead to the place you mentioned." ”
Wei Yi looked at Nangong Rong curiously and asked, "You seem to know a lot of things that others don't know." I'm curious, how do you know this? ”
Nangong Rong shrugged his shoulders and said, "If you are like me, you will know a lot of things if you are running around all year round. ”
Situ Nan interjected at this time and asked, "What about Gongsun Jiu?" ”
Nangong Rong smiled proudly and said, "They, let them go." I don't know where I'm going. I only got out of this river and brought them all the way here. ”
As he spoke, he picked up his backpack and said, "Since there is a solution, let's go first." After the matter of me and Li Mingyu is solved, we still have an important task to complete. ”
As he spoke, he faced Wei Yi and said with a smile: "Brother Wei, when the time comes, I have to ask you for more help." I didn't expect you to be so good. When the time comes, you'll have to do more. ”
Wei Yi asked curiously, "Oh? What's the matter? ”
Nangong Rong sold a pass at this time and said: "That's not difficult, when the time comes, you will know it yourself." ”
Wei Yi saw that he didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask anymore. He walked to a pile of packages and handed them to Li Mingyu and Situ Nan respectively, and carried the rest on his back. They followed the direction pointed by Nangong Rong and walked over quickly.
Soon, behind a hidden boulder, they discover a secret door. This secret door is made of metal throughout, and the perimeter of the door is firmly embedded in the rock wall. If it weren't for Nangong Rong's guidance, they really wouldn't have been able to discover the existence of this secret door.
Nangong Rong pointed to the secret door and said, "This gate turned out to be the entrance to an old military base. But the bloodthirsty vine beneath our feet engulfed that base entirely. I also went through nine deaths to discover this place. ”
Wei Yi was startled, suddenly remembered the scene he had experienced, and hurriedly asked, "You mean, the bloodthirsty vine swallowed the entire military base?" ”
Nangong Rong nodded and said, "That's right." I was in that base. By the time we found out, it was too late. ”
Wei Yi hurriedly continued to ask, "Which military base is it?" ”
Nangong Rong said slowly: "It's Yanjing's." ”
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked. It's just unbelievable. Yanjing is so far from Huainan! Even if you fly, it will take an hour to arrive. How could it be possible to come so far from Yanjing to this Huainan?
Wei Yi said almost subconsciously: "Impossible, Yanjing is so far away from this, how can it be possible to come to Huainan from such a far place?" No way, are you mistaken? ”
Nangong Rong shook his head and said with great certainty: "There will be no mistake. I escaped from this base. ”
He paused for a moment and continued, "We started training in Yanjing. On the night of the incident, I joked with a few comrades-in-arms, saying that if I woke up tomorrow and the training camp would be over, I would be so happy. As a result, the training camp was over. The comrades-in-arms are all gone. ”
There was a sudden silence all around. Everyone's face is covered with a layer of sadness. Whether it was Nangong Rong, Situ Nan, Li Mingyu, or even Wei Yi, they all lost some important people in that disaster.
It's just that what Wei Yi couldn't understand was that something like that happened in Yanjing, which was far away, why did it happen in Huainan almost at the same time? How could these two places, so far apart, happen at the same time?
