Erosion

Chapter 170 Sloppy

Wei Yuan's team lived and died in the aquarium, but in the eyes of the people at the base, they just got up early and went out and came back in the evening.

Wei Yuan went to Zheng Suo alone to report the operation. Zheng Suo heard that they had found the missing person, but that person was killed directly. At that moment, his eyes popped out: "Dead? How could you Kill someone so hastily?!"

Regardless of whether that person is really the missing Falcon Saber, bringing this person back is of great value. Maybe more things can be found?
Wei Yuan was neither humble nor arrogant: "In that case, the only way to save other people is to shoot."

Zheng Suo didn't see the specific situation at the scene with his own eyes. He could only tell what Wei Yuan was saying, "That person may be the only clue. You know this better than anyone, right? Wei Yuan?"

Wei Yuan faced Zheng Suo who was questioning him head-on: "That man is no longer conscious, and there are traces of corrosion on his body. Even if we bring him back, I'm afraid we won't be able to find out anything."

Zheng Suo kept pacing back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, his anxiety uncontrollable. "No matter what you say, you can't hide the fact that we have lost the only clue. Our research on erosion has reached a bottleneck. If there is no breakthrough, the time we have left may only be..."

Zheng Suo suddenly stopped talking.Obviously what he said next was so important that he didn't dare to say it even if there was no one else in the office.

How much time do they have left?

Wei Yuan had already guessed from Zheng Suo's expression that he was not optimistic, and it was probably far more negative than imagined.

No wonder Zheng Suo didn't dare to speak. If he spoke out, the entire living base might be thrown into chaos overnight.

"In short..." Zheng Suo trembled, "You should never kill someone like this..."

To be honest, even if Wei Yuan's team did sacrifice a few people, they should at least give priority to bringing them back.At this time, if Zheng Suo was not cruel, a few human lives would not be considered the first priority at all.If the base and all human fire can be saved, the price of a few lives is too light.

Wei Yuan said nothing. He knew that many people, including Zheng Suo, might have similar thoughts, not even excluding himself.

"It's not that there is nothing to gain," Wei Yuan said after a while, "The current state of the aquarium is somewhat like the previous Songshan Library, and its own internal cycle has been formed."

This is a bit like a different space, but not quite. It is this subtle mimicry that makes it difficult to define.

Zheng Suo said: "So what? This can only mean that the erosion is getting more and more intensified, and this substance will even bring more unexpected results!"

In the end, will the entire human world become this abnormal state?
What about humans then? Can humans still survive in this kind of space?
"Remember," Zheng Suo seemed to calm down, and there was a bottomless gloom in his eyes, "Whether it is our scientific research institute or other places, what we want to protect is human beings and this piece of human existence. area."

Wei Yuan sat quietly across from him. Every word Zheng said could be clearly heard in Wei Yuan's ears, and what Zheng said later was emphasized. The destiny of mankind is to welcome the dawn together or usher in annihilation together.No matter which outcome it is, it can only be faced by mankind together.

The expression on Wei Yuan's face moved slightly, and his eyes met Zheng Suo: "This was originally the ultimate goal when the Institute of Life Sciences was established, right?"

Zheng Suo's expression changed.

It was in the world before the erosion of all things that science and technology had developed to the point of cracking the code of life and wanting to live forever.The ultimate task of life science research is to break ethics and reorganize life.

Just like what the God of creation does.

Many people pass by the outside of a scientific research institute and don't even know what the scientific research institute, which looks solemn from the outside, is really doing and researching.All I know is that this is the most mysterious and majestic place in Beijing and Hong Kong. Many medicines on the market come from the laboratory here.

...Zheng Suo took a long time to speak: "Wei Yuan, how did you enter the scientific research institute in the first place...do you remember?"

Wei Yuan heard something else in Zheng Suo's words, which was a hint and warning. "I haven't forgotten it," he said.

Most of the current people in the scientific research institute are fresh graduates who have been recruited in recent years. In their eyes, Wei Yuan is at least one of the veterans and has been at the scientific research institute for at least ten years.The real veterans in the past, except for Zheng Suo, have basically retired, so few people in the scientific research institute know what Wei Yuan did before coming to the scientific research institute.

Zheng Suo nodded and said: "It's good that you haven't forgotten. I have spared no effort in research funding and technical support given to you over the years. The entire institute, including myself, has devoted almost everything to protecting you." .”

Wei Yuan still didn't speak, and his eyes seemed to fall on his legs covered by the blanket.

Zheng Suo's expression also became subtle at this time: "Although some things happened beyond our expectation..." However, sacrifice is always inevitable.

"Did Old Wei break up with the director on bad terms last night?" Zhang Zheng, who had regained his energy early in the morning, started gossiping at the breakfast table.

Gao Wenwu grabbed a piece of dry and hard bread. It looked like it had just been torn out of a vacuum bag. Now this kind of food could barely be stored for a long time.He took a bite and said, "You know again?"

Zhang Zheng frowned and chewed bread while talking to distract himself: "I got up last night and went to the toilet, and saw Old Wei coming out of the director's office. The director's face looked very unhappy, and the old man Wei Ye looks weak and lethargic..."

Zhang Zheng described with spitting words, and Zhao Ying couldn't help but look at him and complained: "Don't our director always have one expression?" He just looked unhappy.Leaders all seem to have this look.

Gao Wenwu also said, "We all looked the same when we came back yesterday." They were all tired and lackluster.

It's just that they got a rest when they came back, but Wei Yuan also went to the director to report on the mission, so it was strange that his face was energetic.

"Is our mission considered a failure?" Zhao Ying suddenly asked.

No one could answer this question. Their mission was full of ups and downs, with many twists and turns. It was really hard to say whether it was a failure or a success.If we talk about failure, everyone seems to be a little unwilling.

"Where's that girl Jiang Shan? Are you still sleeping?" She won't sleep for three days and three nights again, right?Zhang Zheng couldn't help but said, "The rules for food distribution are strict again. You have to get your ID card to receive it yourself. Others are prohibited from taking it for you."

And in another half hour, the distribution time will stop.

Zhao Ying looked at the bread in her hand, swallowed and stuffed it into her arms: "I'll keep this for Ashan."

"No need to stay, I'm not hungry." A voice suddenly came from the side.

Several people immediately put down their food and looked at Jiang Shan who was walking out of the door in pajamas.Zhao Ying immediately stood up and walked towards Jiang Shan with the bread: "You haven't eaten all day and night, how can you not be hungry?"

Everyone was starving when we came back yesterday, but sleepiness took over.
