Pollution throughout the territory

"An important doctor will come over this morning to participate in the research. The first batch of personnel has almost arrived. We need to enter the dreamland to observe the parasitic situation of the yellow fungus with our own eyes. The one you took out last time can make everyone around you enter. Do you still have the dream candle?"

Niu Changshou turned to say: "Of course, we won't let you waste that precious candle, because it is very important to research, so I have the shame to discuss with you what kind of compensation you want, I I will apply with the above to satisfy you."

Xia Ren nodded, looking thoughtful.

Mingzhu was indeed expensive for him in the past. After all, exchanging one required two hundred achievement points, and he only got fifty for going to great lengths to seal a first-class infected body.

At the beginning, achievement points were the same as his life. Who would casually exchange his Yangshou for a boring opportunity to play in someone else's dream?

But after going through that battle not long ago, destroying the entire alien sect's nest, and absorbing the magic power of most of the alien sect members, Xia Ren became rich overnight. Now the system page shows that his achievement point balance exceeds 100,000. Two hundred achievement points are nothing to him.

He thought for a few seconds and decided to give up the opportunity to blackmail the Superman Association. The main reason was that at this stage, he really didn't have much need.

"As compensation, if there is any news about alien sects or grimoires later, just remember to inform me."

"That's no problem." Niu Changshou readily agreed.

"correct."

After saying that, Xia Ren thought of something again and continued: "I have a sister in Jupiter City. She should not have a job yet. If possible, I hope you can secretly provide her with an easy job, but She must not be allowed to come into contact with anything related to pollution.”

Xia Qiudong has always been Xia Ren's concern. In the past, he could not trust the foundation, so he deliberately did not mention his sister once, so as not to show that he cared and be used as a weakness to threaten him.

Compared with the mysterious style of the Foundation, the Superman Association is obviously more friendly to ordinary people. Since the frequent outbreaks of plague, Xia Ren has become more and more worried about his sister's safety, so he finally decided to find a safe shelter for his sister.

Niu Changshou heard the weight of these words, his expression became more serious, and he promised: "Don't worry, dear friend, leave this matter to me."

Qin Yun glanced at Xia Ren. Although she had known for a long time that he had a sister and the two had a good relationship, she had never seen each other before.

However, she also knows that Xia Ren's original identity has died, and now he is constantly being involved in various dangerous whirlpools. It may not be a good thing if he appears in front of someone he was familiar with again.

After the slightly serious topic ended, Xia Ren looked around the increasingly crowded hall, thinking of the old man he met last night, and asked: "Do you know that there is a puncture scar on his face, he is about fifty or sixty years old? , an old man who looks very majestic, came to the quarantine area last night."

"A puncture scar on your face?"

Niu Changshou repeated it again, and said with an ooh, "The person you are talking about should have typical Xizhou regional characteristics. He is blond, blue-eyed, and has a strong build. He is the vice president of the Xizhou Medical Association, and his name is Huo Booth Geno. The reason why he came here this time is mainly to allocate resources at any time according to our needs. For example, if he develops a vaccine that can treat the plague, he will immediately coordinate with major pharmaceutical manufacturers and start preparing for production immediately. "

The vice president of a state medical association has a lot of power, but he was very low-key when he came last night.

Xia Ren thought for a while and asked, "Is he an ordinary person?"

"Yes." Niu Changshou affirmed.

"After all, he is one of the key figures in the Superman Association's public and external influence. Although Hobbs Geno enjoys special care from the Association, he is still an ordinary person. Why do you suddenly ask about him?"

"Nothing." Xia Ren shook his head.

The Superman Association is not a fool. Hobbes and Geno's identity is so important. If there is anything unusual about him, it will definitely not be discovered by them.

So maybe the strange smell he smelled last night came from the driver who took him here?

This question was destined to be fruitless, and Xia Ren decided not to think about it anymore.

At around nine o'clock, Niu Changshou came to Xia Ren again and told him that the doctor was coming.

Several people came to the door of the quarantine area together, only to find that the door was already crowded with people. At a glance, they were all packed with heads.

The researchers were discussing something enthusiastically, with high spirits and excitement. There were also many doctors in the crowd who had arrived last night or early this morning, and their eyes were full of expectation.

From time to time, they looked towards the end of the road, like a group of fanatical fans waiting for their idols to arrive.

"Who is the doctor who is coming next?"

Xia Ren asked in surprise.

"What's your background?"

Lili repeated as she was held in Qin Yun's arms. Apparently the little guy was also very curious.

Da Yuanjing, who stayed in Lu Yi's body, said in a disdainful tone: "Humph, a bunch of stupid mortals."

Lily probably thought this sentence was interesting, so she repeated:

"Fish-lipped mortal!"

Qin Yun followed everyone's gaze and glanced towards the end of the road.

Niu Changshou was about to explain when he found that the crowd suddenly became commotion.

On the road in the distance, a hearse modified by Wuling Hongguang drove over. Three of the four tires looked like they had insufficient air pressure. The license plate was also covered with a layer of dust. The front bumper was shaky, and it looked like it might break out at any time. It fell down. I don’t know whether the sliding door on the left was not closed tightly or was broken. It made a squeaking noise when running.

The commotion gradually stopped, and the originally excited people slowly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes were focused on the hearse, and they watched helplessly as it slowly stopped at the door of the quarantine area.

Then the car door in front opened, and two chubby strong men got out of the car. They were obviously surprised to see so many people waiting at the door.

Probably dozens of looks put heavy pressure on them. The two of them ran to the back of the car, opened the trunk, lifted a person out on a stretcher, and threw them into the open space in front of everyone. One of the fat men stretched out his hand and said : "Sixty yuan agreed."

The man on the stretcher blinked, struggled to open his mouth, tilted his head toward the crowd, and said vaguely: "Ask them for it."

The two fat men looked at the silent crowd and felt a little scared. They didn't want any money and didn't bother to get the stretcher. They just got in the car and turned around to leave.

Probably because the contrast between the front and back was a bit big, the atmosphere in the crowd in front of the door was a bit weird.

Xia Ren felt that the man was somewhat familiar, so he walked over and squatted next to the stretcher, took a serious look at it, and said doubtfully: "Doctor Liao?"

That's right, the man who looked paralyzed and was pulled by the hearse turned out to be the Foundation's S-class investigator who had treated him.

However, how could he come here in such a miserable state? Xia Ren glanced at him up and down and found that there was no obvious trauma.

Only then did the frozen crowd react. A bald researcher said with some disbelief: "Really, is it really Dr. Liao?"

Dr. Liao blinked, indicating that it was indeed him.

Another person asked: "But...how did you become like this?"

Dr. Liao tried his best to open his lips and said unintelligibly: "On the road, I tried a new medicine on a whim, and then I became paralyzed."

"Then your escort..."

"I was the last one to test the poison."

Dr. Liao didn't look guilty, but seemed very proud of his achievements.

People who are paralyzed will certainly no longer be able to participate in research.

When everyone was disappointed, Dr. Liao said again:

"But I have researched the antidote, and you will be cured in an hour."

The crowd was silent for a second.

suddenly.

"ohhhhhhhhhh——"

The researchers and doctors all cheered, and they enthusiastically lifted Dr. Liao's stretcher, like a killer whale throwing a seal, and threw him up.

"Doctor Liao, you will always be awesome!"

"Doctor Liao! Doctor Liao! Doctor Liao!"

The crowd carried Dr. Liao high, like a group of fanatical believers carrying precious sacrifices that they would devoutly give to their great gods first, and marched into the quarantine area in a mighty manner.

Xia Ren and the others stood there, completely unable to understand this scene.

"Dr. Liao, is he so charming?"

Xia Ren stared blankly at the backs of the crowd, remembering that when he saw him at the foundation, he couldn't see anything special about him.

"This reason, ahem, is a bit complicated."

Niu Changshou coughed twice and looked at Qin Yun and the others, seeming a little embarrassed.

Qin Yun looked back in confusion, wondering why he had such a reaction.

Da Yuan Jing was more keen on this aspect and said unceremoniously: "Isn't it related to men's filthy things?"

"?"

Xia Ren was even more confused.

Niu Changshou did not give in and said directly: "Actually, it is related to a containment item carried by Dr. Liao. The name is [100% safe small umbrella]. It is a batch of products produced by an ordinary condom manufacturer and is called contraceptive." The rate can reach 100%. Of course, this kind of propaganda is fake at first glance, because no manufacturer can achieve this level. But in fact, the batch of products from the production center of that brand on one day turned out to be real. It can achieve the publicity effect, which is even countless times more exaggerated than the publicity.”

"Not only sperm and common STDs, but also without actually using it, the carrier of [100% Safe Umbrella] can directly resist all germs and viruses that can cause harm to the carrier itself."

"However, by the time the foundation discovered the anomaly, the [100% Safe Small Umbrella] had basically been used and scrapped, leaving only an orphan item, which was always carried by Dr. Liao. He often needed to conduct various drug experiments, so This containment item is particularly needed.”

"But at the beginning, everyone knew that [100% safe small umbrella] has side effects. If most people stay in close proximity with its carrier for a long time, they will fall into fanatical worship and admiration for it, thinking that the carrier Sexual ability...well...unparalleled, and the people gathered in the quarantine area are basically the best in pollution medicine, and naturally they have spent a lot of time with Dr. Liao, who is the top in the industry."

"And this side effect was only discovered later, so, ahem..."

After Xia Ren listened silently, he looked at the backs of the crowd again and Dr. Liao who was lifted up by them, and suddenly felt some sympathy.

It turned out that the condom he saw when he woke up was actually a containment object. He almost misunderstood the other party because of this, but he didn't expect that there was such a reason behind it.

"very scary."

Qin Yun patted her chest and said.

"Terrible!"

Lily yelled along without knowing why.

Xiao Jingjing had no scruples: "So, those people all want to fencing with Dr. Liao, right?"

Niu Changshou lowered his voice: "That's understandable, but as long as Dr. Liao is not here, everyone will return to normal."

Qin Yun touched Xia Ren with her elbow and whispered, "You should stay away from Dr. Liao in the future."

Xia Ren hummed and agreed deeply.

"Let's go in too. There shouldn't be any key people coming in the morning."

Niu Changshou and Xia Ren returned to the quarantine area together.

Xia Ren didn't actually know Dr. Liao, so Niu Changshou explained it to him.

Before joining the Foundation, Dr. Liao was already well-known in the medical community and was a top figure in drug research and development. However, in fact, most of his research results relied on his accidental contamination ability, which is the ability to change substances to a certain extent. Molecular structure, giving it unique properties and effects.

A certain alkaloid he invented is still widely used as an anesthetic in clinical medicine. When the foundation discovered anomalies and found Dr. Liao, he decisively agreed to join, and relying on his own abilities, he directly had A-level authority. , and was later promoted to S-level.

The Superman Association has always wanted to poach people, because Dr. Liao's ability and his own professional knowledge, combined, are simply a bug-like existence in contaminating medicine. However, even if the poaching fails, Dr. Liao will still He is often invited to participate in the Superman Association's pollution research, but it actually makes no difference.

Because Dr. Liao is still paralyzed, the plan to enter the dreamland can only be postponed.

In fact, Dr. Liao's recovery from paralysis took much longer than he said.

It was almost noon when Dr. Liao finally recovered completely, and Niu Changshou immediately called Xia Ren over.

The nearly 100-square-meter conference room was filled with people.

In order to allow everyone to see the light of the underworld candle, everyone gathered in a circle. The people in the front row squatted, then sat, then stood, and the people in the back stood on the table, and some simply Hanging directly from the ceiling, the scene looks extremely weird.

Niu Changshou, Doctor Liao and others are in the middle.

There was a table in front of them, and everyone looked at Xia Ren on the other side of the table.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xia Ren reached behind his hand and pulled out a green candle.

There is no obvious difference in the shape of the candles from those sold on the market. The cylindrical candle body, which is as thick as an index finger, and the base of the same wax, look like products mass-produced by a factory. Only the colors are rare and weird.

Xia Ren placed the Mingzhu in the center of the table, with a trace of reminiscence in his eyes, and said slowly: "This is when I escaped from the pursuit of the old gods and fell into the endless abyss. Fortunately, an old man with a white beard saved me from the abyss. He gave me a candle and told me that where civilization is, fire is endless, so I followed the guidance of the candlelight and walked out of the abyss. There are only three candles in the world, and I used one myself. Last time I was in the East Ushi has used up one, and this one is the only one left in the world."

As he spoke, he sighed and gently stroked the candle, as if stroking the skin of a lover. His eyes were a little gentle, a little sentimental, and a little generous and awe-inspiring.

"He is willing to use such a precious thing to contribute to medical research..."

The light of righteousness shone into the hearts of everyone present. Everyone was moved by his selfless spirit, and some of the sensitive ones even burst into tears.

Hey hey, didn’t you say last time that you picked it up after falling off a cliff? Why did an old man appear again this time?

Niu Changshou didn't want to expose Xia Ren, so he could only remind him with a wink that the play was over and he should start quickly.

Xia Ren gently wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes and snapped his fingers.

"laugh!"

A small fire burned, and the lights in the conference room were turned off at the same time.

In the dim room, a green light shines on everyone's face.

A group of people gathered around in several circles, staring closely at the weak flame. The scene looked like pagans gathered together to perform some kind of evil sacrificial ceremony.
