My props are off the charts

Chapter 22 Choice
"So powerful! I want to see which research institute it is from," the man said coldly, pushing his eyes on the bridge of his nose. "This technology must be started immediately. We need it to treat more survivors!"

"Please be quiet, everyone," Li Ya looked around and said, "I think I need to explain this technology."

Seeing that she was about to speak, the congressmen who were talking around them all shut their mouths and waited for her to continue.

Looking at the quiet crowd, Li Ya took a deep breath and said.

"I believe everyone has doubts about Dr. Xu. After all, he is only about 1.6 meters and a half tall and looks very thin. He is completely different from the gene awakener in my impression... But what I want to say is that he We do have gene awakening technology. This is information published by the state." She took out a document and placed it on the table. "This is a brochure specially produced for gene awakening technology. Everyone can receive a copy. I hope you can understand this process as soon as possible to avoid accidental injuries."

Everyone took out their mobile phones and opened the document to check it out.

Although there are doubts, what this information shows is quite detailed. At least in the history of this world, this technology has been effective.

Of course, special situations caused by some unknown factors cannot be completely ruled out.For example, before the birth of human society, humans encountered natural disasters of extinction, or destruction caused by some alien creatures, or other unknown reasons.

And even the most rational people cannot be 100% sure about this.

"...Although this technology has no practical significance," Li Ya glanced at Xu Fei, who was sitting opposite, and said with a sigh, "but at least it can help more people get rid of the pain... We Don’t give up eating because of choking, you have to try it whether it’s true or false.”

Hearing Li Ya's words, the surrounding members fell silent.

After a while, a low voice came from the crowd.

"……I understand."

"Me too. Since there's no way to change it, why waste resources?"

"This technology is indeed worth trying. We can't let more people bear the risk of gene awakening... This is a mistake in my decision-making," an older male congressman shook his head and said bitterly, "I'm just not willing to accept it. , this is a road that can save more people and should not be wasted..."

After hearing what the old congressman said, the surrounding congressmen also agreed.

"Yes, what we want to do is to save people, not kill people..."

"Since it is gene awakening technology, there must be a way to cure genetic defects! There is no need for us to complain, and there is no need to refuse."

Looking at the MPs who were gradually regaining their composure, Li Ya's eyes were filled with relief and joy.

Finally, with her efforts, the situation was finally stabilized.

"I will find an expert for identification," Li Ya looked at Xu Fei and said seriously, "Dr. Xu, you must also cooperate with my investigation. In addition... we have to confirm your health status and whether you have the ability. If confirmed Once you have the ability, we will immediately inject you with a gene awakening agent."

"Of course there's no problem with that," Xu Fei shrugged and said nonchalantly, "I don't have any bad intentions anyway. Besides, I can't run away."

Li Ya smiled and said, "That's great if you think so."

"So when can we leave?"

"At three o'clock tonight," Li Ya stretched out her fingers and tapped twice on the table, "This operation does not allow for any failure. We must find new antibacterial agents and treatment equipment in the planned area, and The transportation routes for these things have been established as early as yesterday, and as long as we arrive at the reserved location, we can deliver these things."

After listening to Li Ya's arrangement, Xu Fei asked casually: "What about you?"

Li Ya was stunned for a moment, and then replied with a smile: "I'd better stay at the base. As you know, gene awakening technology has just been successful, and our workload is very huge. Although I am already a second-level awakened person, my spirit The strength is still not enough to handle ultra-high-intensity work.”

"Then thank you for the hard work," Xu Fei nodded, "I'll go with you." Li Ya was stunned for a moment and said quickly: "This won't work!"

"why?"

"because……"

"Is it because it's dangerous there?" Xu Fei smiled slightly and continued, "It doesn't matter, my fighting ability is pretty good, and I'm a free-boxing fighter. It's probably not easy for ordinary people to catch me. What's more, there are more than just zombies there. There may be some enemies hiding in the dark, and it would be too dangerous for you to be alone in this case."

"...You are a kind person."

"Don't praise me so much. In fact, I'm just too lazy to use my brain..."

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Li Ya's face: "I just think that because of your special status, there is no need to take such a big risk with us."

"You are a kind person," Xu Fei said solemnly, looking at Li Ya, "I am too, and my responsibility is to save people, not kill."

Li Ya opened her mouth.

This was the first time she heard someone say she was kind.

However, when I think about it carefully, it seems quite appropriate.

At the beginning of the apocalypse, her mother died in a car accident. Her father abandoned her and ran away when the zombie wave broke out, and told her that as long as she survived, it would be the greatest reward for herself.

At that moment, her world collapsed.

Yes, as her father said, her only wish is to live.

Under such pressure, she grew up.

From an ordinary girl to a persevering heroine, she built the Dawn Project Foundation with her own hands and took over the entire infrastructure maintenance department. Even the position of chief scientist of the base relied on her She single-handedly recommended it...

Although doing so may offend many people, she never considered it.

Until that disaster happened.

Only then did she understand her father's lesson and how stupid her original choice was.

It was an era when human nature was degenerate. There was no order and no bottom line. Everything was just profit, even life.

She cannot allow a group of innocent people to be implicated or even sacrificed because of her cowardice...

"I understand." Looking at Xu Fei who stood up, Li Ya took a deep breath and said in a firm tone, "I will leave this to you, Doctor Xu... I wish you a safe journey!"

Xu Fei smiled lightly, nodded and said, "Thank you."

With that, he turned to the congressmen present and said, "Please wait for a few minutes. After the research results on the gene awakening agent come out, I will bring the relevant data to take part in the test."

The congressmen nodded, also showing serious expressions.
