No.71 Professor Andreko
At the corner of the intersection, a small and stocky man appeared in the crowd.
He was a little cramped, his eyes kept scanning around, as if he was afraid of something, like a fat rat that had been preparing to steal food, and was checking whether there was any danger around the food, and after confirming that there was no danger, he followed the flow of people and slowly walked across the zebra crossing in front of the traffic light.
The man went to the newsstand that supplied the Russian newspaper, took out two coins with the Queen's face from his coat pocket, and still on the counter of the newsstand, and took out a Russian newspaper with the Moscow News Today on it.
"As always, the money is here for you (in Russian)"
His name is Andreko, Ivan Andreko, and he was a professor at the Kalinin Polytechnic Institute in Leningrad, which is now known as Peter the Great St. Petersburg Polytechnic University, and he taught in the Department of Biological Sciences, which Russia is not good at.
But what is really surprising is that this short, stocky and unassuming university professor is the leader of the top group of people in the Russian biological sciences, and has even been nominated for the Nobel Prize twice.
It wasn't until he joined the scientific research organization of Ision.
Professor Andreko was deceived by his ideals and visions, and he worked for him for decades, tricking him into developing a new technology that could be programmed to modify the genetic sequence of the disease, under the pretext of developing ways and means to cure genetic diseases.
Professor Andreko thought he could win the Nobel Prize in Medicine for this new treatment, until he inadvertently bumped into Ision's technicians who were testing his research with his scientific findings.
The professor realized that Ishion was trying to use his technology to create a biogenetic weapon - and so, he ran away.
He took his only research materials to the United Kingdom to seek refuge from the British government, and the only sample of the snowflake virus in Heidi's body was also secretly brought out of the research and development base in Ision and handed over to the British government.
Although Professor Andreko is just an ordinary scientist, he can also realize that Ision will never give up, so he will live a fearful and cautious life, for fear that one day a group of Ision's people will suddenly jump out and arrest him.
To this day, when he put his hand on the Russian newspaper of his hometown, his hand was grabbed by the owner of the newsstand.
"Professor Andreko, you are so optimistic, don't you know that Ision has already started to act (in Russian)"
The boss is none other than Dikard Shaw in disguise, although a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose restrain the fierce temperament on his face, but the kind of person who walks in danger all the year round will always have a completely different quality from ordinary people.
Professor Andreko didn't know who Dikard Shaw was, but the professor instinctively realized that something was wrong, and immediately withdrew his hand from Dikard Shaw's hand, and Dikard didn't seem to use any force, but let go of his hand and let him turn around and run.
But will the professor really be able to escape?
As soon as Professor Andreko turned around, he slammed directly into the body of another person in the back.
It was a strong black man half a chest taller than him, his muscles looked like an impassable wall, and there was a smile on his face, a smile that looked very maliciously, and the professor slowly took two steps back, only to be surprised to find that the way was blocked on both sides.
They were a kind-looking young Chinese tourist, a young and beautiful British woman dressed up, and the disguised newsstand owner behind them, and everyone in the room looked dangerous, not ordinary people.
"Hello, Professor Andreko."
"We want to talk to you about CT-17, the snowflake virus."
Half an hour later, Lin Cheng and the others followed Professor Andreco to his place of residence in London, which was in an old warehouse in the Greenwich Center residential area of London.
The old warehouse was rented by Professor Andreko, and the edges of several walls here were filled with all kinds of books, as well as more than a dozen transparent blackboards, on which many formulas and data were written with white markers that Lin Cheng could not understand.
It can be seen that even after changing places, the professor is still continuing his research.
Hobbs was explaining to the American side because of the wanted warrant, and he also took the time to call his daughter, and asked the nanny to take the daughter back to his wife's parents' house to take care of him, while Dickard and Heidi did not have the leisure and elegance of Lin Cheng looking around the room, and started to talk about the topic directly with the professor.
Heidi stretched out her hand and showed Professor Andreko the triangular wound in the palm of her hand that had healed, but was somewhat blackened.
"Professor, we need your helpโ"
"Oh my God, how long have you been injecting the virus?"
Professor Andreko was stunned for a moment, because he knew very well what the wound on Heidi's palm represented.
At the same time, he was a little scared, because he was afraid that Heidi told him that she had been injected for more than seventy-two hours, which meant that not only would she die, but also spread the virus in her body to other people, especially people like him who were very close.
"Well, the injection was about thirty hours ago."
Heidi thought for a moment, then replied.
"Thankfully, the container capsule that carries the virus doesn't dissolve for seventy-two hours."
Professor Andreko breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time the three Heidi were relieved.
They trusted the words of the virus maker more than the 72 hours of the CIA's intelligence, which was more reassuring than a cold written report.
However, the situation is also troublesome, as there are only forty-two hours left.
This means that they must address the threat of the virus within 42 hours, or risk a global biohazard, much bigger than climate disasters, terrorism, or nuclear deterrence.
"How can we solve the problem, isn't this virus editable, can you just edit it, Professor?"
Heidi asked eagerly, acting more anxious than anyone else.
This is not surprising because the virus is in her body, and she is still very young and does not want to pay for her life for this kind of thing.
"I'm sorry, I can't edit the virus in your body, I have to take it out."
"There's a set of equipment that can help you extract the virus left in the tech lab in Ision, I didn't bring it because it's too big, but it's full of people from Ision, it's hard to get into, you can't get it."
The professor sighed slowly, paused, and continued.
"No matter how difficult it is, we'll find a way to solve it, tell me the location."
"An abandoned Soviet military base in the Eastern European Plain was bought by Ision and converted into a science and technology laboratory, located in Ukraine."
Dycarder pressed Professor Andreko's shoulder, and it wasn't until Professor Andreko told him the exact location that Deckard let go of his grip on his shoulder, picked up Heidi and turned to leave.
Hobbs immediately hung up the phone and followed, but Lin Cheng was the only one who didn't move.
"Professor, I'd like to talk to you."
Looking at Professor Andreko's blank face, Lin Cheng spoke.
