Pollution throughout the territory

Shrouded in dark clouds, the desolate and lonely world suddenly gained a hint of life.

A team of nearly a hundred people, composed of dozens of pollution researchers and pollution doctors, appeared on this dead land.

"Is this the world in dreams?"

"It looks so desperate."

"I don't know why...I want to cry..."

The crowd stared blankly at the lonely scene around them, and the atmosphere was a little depressed for a while.

But then, they developed a great enthusiasm for exploring this world they had never set foot in before, and began to get excited. If they didn't have something serious to do, this group of people would probably have started planning to take risks.

Niu Changshou, who had already been here once, had a much smaller reaction than others, but when he came again, he was still shocked.

It seemed that in the endless space, only their small group of lives really existed.

"Strictly speaking, this is not a completely illusory dream world for ordinary people. This world should be a place between dreams and reality. The most obvious proof is that dreams have entities here and can be touched at will." Xia Ren explained.

Dr. Liao looked around and took a deep breath.

Indeed, as Xia Ren said, the feeling of the air here being inhaled into the lungs is completely different from the real world. If it were just a purely illusory dream, it would never trigger such real sensory feedback.

Moreover, one characteristic of dreams is that they are difficult to connect. Each dream is independent. If you try to enter other people's dreams, it will bring a strong sense of disobedience, causing the owner of the dream to realize that this is a dream and wake up immediately. .

Even if several people can appear in the same dream using secret techniques, it will never reach the huge scale of nearly a hundred people now, because with every additional person, the difficulty of maintaining the dream increases exponentially.

Not far from them, some twisted plants grew here and there. Judging from the top structure, they were somewhat similar to flowers.

But these flowers are so deformed that many people feel uncomfortable just staring at them.

You must know that due to long-term contact with pollution, everyone present has a strong resistance to pollution, otherwise it would not be possible to be selected to enter the dream study together.

Even so, it is difficult for them to look directly at these dream flowers for a long time. It is conceivable that the knowledge contained in the latter is far beyond the capacity of human beings.

Everyone realized this, stopped talking nonsense, and focused their attention on these flowers.

They were divided into groups and gathered around bunches of flowers. Since there was no way to bring notes and research equipment into the dream, the institute and doctors could only forcefully write down all the details from memory.

Although they have been fighting atypical entomophobia for a long time, it was only then that they were finally able to visually see the larvae of the earthworm. Many researchers took out the larvae with trembling hands, wanting to crush them into dregs. It's like holding a precious cultural relic, with great care and great tangle.

Dr. Liao formed a group with Niu Changshou, Xia Ren and two other older doctors. Xia Ren was responsible for helping them answer some questions he knew at any time. At other times, Dr. Liao and the others were observing and thinking at the door.

Less than ten minutes had passed, and a cry of surprise suddenly came from nearby. A researcher could not bear the pollution, clenched his teeth, and fell to the ground in a coma.

Other researchers and doctors also showed signs of contamination to varying degrees. Some researchers even had strange purple-red lines around their eye sockets, which tended to spread throughout their bodies.

As a last resort, everyone had to temporarily stop this research, and Xia Ren led them to end the dream.

But before leaving, Xia Ren saw from the corner of his eye that when no one was paying attention, Dr. Liao actually scraped up some yellow fungus with his index finger and licked it with his tongue.

In the following week, new people were stationed in the quarantine area one after another. The two originally planted [super buildings that cannot be copied, a must-have product for home travel, the reappearance of Longzhu Technology! Oviparous House-C26. ] It was already full, but there was no other open space in the quarantine area, so we could only plant two more buildings outside the fence.

Xia Ren told everyone about Dr. Liao's last action, but he has been paying close attention to his condition.

It seems that there has been no breakthrough in research, but in the past few days, Dr. Liao's mental state has been deteriorating day by day. It is probably the result of infection with yellow fungus.

In the face of yellow fungi, it seems that [100% safe small umbrella] cannot protect it.

But the condition has not progressed to the point where it is irreversible. Since Dr. Liao plans to use himself as an experimental subject, Xia Ren would be disrespectful to him if he stops him.

On the eighth day, some of the researchers and doctors who had entered the dream fell ill.

The examination results revealed that the sick doctor's nerve fibers had incomprehensible distortions.

However, the protective measures in the isolation area are very strict. In addition to personal protection, the isolation area is now sprayed with a certain proportion of anti-pollution liquid every day to purify any possible contamination. Yellow fungi should absolutely not be able to infect them. That's right.

Even if the fungus can break through the protection of the isolation area, the first people to be infected should be a few ordinary people here, such as the vice president of the Xizhou Medical Association, Hobbs Geno, who has a puncture scar on his face.

The truth of the matter was revealed by the infected doctor on her own initiative. She secretly licked some of the fungus when she entered a dream state and had a chance to come into contact with the fungus. She even secretly inhaled it through her nostrils to ensure that she would be infected. A lot.

Later, the doctor provided everyone with the physical changes he had recorded since he was infected.

The contents of the notes are very detailed, ranging from daily blood samples, frequency of defecation and defecation, body temperature, mental state, to changes in skin and hair, visual and taste senses... It contains more than 100,000 words, and it took three notebooks to finish.

Everyone looked at a small stack of notebooks and fell into silence.

This result is unexpected and seems reasonable.

But it's not over yet.

In the next two days, half of the people who entered the dreamland fell ill.

The reasons are basically the same, they are all active infections.

"What a bunch of lunatics. Everyone is sick. Who will do the research? Don't you think so?"

Dr. Liao rubbed his blurred eyes, his tone unclear whether he was angry or helpless.

The desk in front of him was filled with various notes, as many as hundreds.

Xia Ren shook his head, noncommittal.

Half of the people fell ill, and the remaining people had to study harder and not let down the sacrifices made by their companions.

The atmosphere in the quarantine area became more and more tense day by day, and those notes became important reference materials. Dr. Liao lived and ate in the laboratory and rarely slept. He flipped through his notebook again and again, until the paper was almost torn.

Finally, half a month after entering the quarantine area, Dr. Liao walked out of the laboratory staring at two huge dark circles under his eyes and asked Xia Ren to take him into the dreamland again, but this time he specifically requested that only he could go in.

His condition was extremely bad. His lips were chapped and there was no trace of moisture. His skin was dull and dull. His messy beard grew wildly and his hair was a mess. He looked like a bad middle-aged homeless man.

"Are you okay?" Xia Ren asked with concern.

Dr. Liao suddenly laughed "hum hum".

He raised his head, his tired eyes covered by his hair shone brightly, and said something incomprehensible.

"This is an experiment. It's finally coming to an end."

Even Niu Changshou was not allowed to accompany him. The only ones who entered the dreamland this time were Xia Ren and Doctor Liao.

Returning to the dreamland, there were many languid dream flowers around. The stems and leaves of the flowers, including the petals, were covered with a thin layer of yellow fungus. Their owners were the researchers who fell ill.

Dr. Liao didn't do anything special. He just reached out and touched the flowers one by one, then turned around and told Xia Ren that he could leave.

"So fast?"

Although Xia Ren was a little confused, he still complied with his request.

Back to reality, Dr. Liao fell straight down without saying anything. If Xia Ren hadn't reacted quickly, the back of his head would have been in close contact with the hard concrete floor.

Niu Changshou hurried over to check. Fortunately, Dr. Liao had no problem. He was just too tired and fell asleep.

At night, Dr. Liao still couldn't wake up, but exciting news came from the ward - some of the sick researchers had woken up.

Although their physical condition is still not good and their spirits are relatively weak, they have indeed woken up.

Everyone quickly performed a comprehensive examination, and the examination results showed that the researchers' nervous systems had slight but irreversible distortions. The impact of these distortions is still unknown, but at least now, they are extremely healthy.

Although the personality test has not yet been done, it is impossible to determine whether the sanity of these researchers is normal, but this does not affect the atmosphere in the isolation area from becoming active.

In the early morning of the next day, an energetic Dr. Liao woke up.

After learning what happened in the quarantine area yesterday, he said calmly:

"Start preparations to produce special drugs to eliminate atypical insect phobia from all blue stars."

…

…

On this day, the cheers from the quarantine area spread beyond the valley.

Someone was holding a few bottles of wine and crying loudly in the dormitory to his fellow researchers who had been sleeping forever;

Some people took off their clothes and ran naked around the road. After feeling that the release was not enough, they returned to the dormitory and stood on their heads to wash their hair.

Some people cried, some laughed. The oppressive atmosphere during this period has made everyone miserable. Everyone needs to vent their emotions. No one can remain rational at this time.

Xia Ren didn't need to be involved in what happened next. He took Qin Yun, Lu Yi, and Lily to the top of the mountain, which was the only place that was quiet.

Looking at the isolation area below and the crowds of people dancing like demons, Xia Ren felt a little emotional.

In another half hour, a special car will arrive and everyone will leave with the team.

While he was feeling slightly melancholy, Xia Ren saw Dr. Liao coming out of the quarantine area expressionlessly, supported by the crowd below. His dull face was like a hard pebble by the river, and the excitement of everyone around him was different. Looks out of place.

Xia Ren has only seen Dr. Liao once since he woke up and announced that a special medicine had been developed.

This time I saw him, I felt a little different.

Xia Ren couldn't tell what was wrong, but Dr. Liao seemed... unable to smile.

It’s strange, it’s obviously such a joyful thing.

…

…

The special plane dispatched by the Superman Association has not yet landed in Jupiter City. Xia Ren received a call from Niu Changshou. The other party said that the special medicine had passed the association's internal clinical verification and had successfully passed the association's ethical review half an hour ago. Now, It has entered the stage of planned production.

Because Xia Ren played an important role in the drug research and development stage, and both he and Dr. Liao belonged to the foundation, after discussing with the foundation, the two organizations have reached an agreement and have just established the person responsible for producing special effects. The address of the drug manufacturer.

It was Changsheng Company in the magical city of Dongpu City, the original source of the spread of atypical insect phobia.

Before Xia Ren finished answering the phone, the plane had already changed direction and started flying towards Dongpu City.

After hanging up the phone, he still felt like he was in a dream.

How many hours has it been?

It hasn't even been ten hours since Dr. Liao announced that the specific drug has been successfully developed, right?

Where did the Superman Association find the people to conduct clinical verification? Even if special treatment was given at special times and the verification process was shortened, the ethics review was passed in such a short time?

Even if these are not counted, does the negotiation process between the two super-large organizations, the Superman Association and the Foundation, be so short?

After hearing Xia Ren express his doubts, Qin Yun comforted: "They are not kidding. The Superman Association and the Foundation care about the safety of mankind far more than we do. Since they have all made such a decision, even if this decision has flaws, , and it must already be infinitely close to the most perfect solution under the current circumstances, and you and I can't change anything even if we worry about it here."

"Right."

After listening to what she said, Xia Ren realized that he had just been narrow-minded. Neither the Superman Association nor the Foundation were organizations in the usual sense. It can be said that they also represent the will of mankind as a whole in some aspects. These two organizations are equivalent to the immunity of human society. system, one cannot use ordinary thinking to speculate on their behavior.

No matter what, they are on the side of mankind.

An hour later, the plane landed slowly and stopped on the runway.

Xia Ren and Qin Yun, a total of four people and a mirror, got off the plane.

Niu Changshou did not come to the airport. The person in charge of welcoming them was Li Wan, the foundation's logistics team leader.

"Mr. Xia, we meet again."

Li Wan's chubby body swayed as he walked towards this side and started to say hello loudly from a distance.

Since time was tight, after a few words, the group walked out of the airport, got into the commercial vehicle that had been prepared, and headed for their destination.

In the car, Xia Ren briefly asked Li Wan for some information.

The full name of Changsheng Company is Changsheng Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. It was originally responsible for pharmaceutical production. However, since the atypical insect phobia problem broke out and Xia Ren killed Zheng Xinmin, the major shareholder of Changsheng Pharmaceutical and the son of Dongpu City Councilor, this pharmaceutical company The company has been in a state of suspension of production, and most of the employees have been forced to resign. Now, except for the production workshop, it is completely a shell company.

As for why the production of special medicines was handed over to this company, Xia Ren probably guessed the intentions of the Superman Association and the Foundation.

Where you start, you end.

As soon as Xia Ren arrived, he was immediately dragged into a meeting by Niu Changshou, and the work efficiency was not disappointing.

Qin Yun and the others had nothing to do, so they simply walked around Dongpu City and visited places they had not been to last time.

Key figures from both organizations are now gathered in the city, so there is no need to worry about their safety.

Xia Ren was sitting in the conference room, quite boring.

Dr. Liao was not present, and the content of the meeting actually had nothing to do with him. Basically, a large group of people put forward their opinions one by one, and then everyone worked together to figure out a solution.

However, one of the proposals was related to Xia Ren, and that was the actual issue of money distribution.

Special medicines are produced to be sold, and the customer group is all human beings. Even if each person only makes a small amount of money, knowing that Blue Star has a population of 20 billion, it will add up to a terrifying sum. number.

Xia Ren perked up a little. After all, according to the other party's opinion, Xia Ren, who had made outstanding contributions to drug research and development, could allocate part of the benefits.

However, everyone who participated in the meeting showed a lack of interest in this issue. In the end, the only issue involving money in this meeting was the least taken seriously. Everyone said a few words casually and ended hastily.

The final result was that Xia Ren controlled 30% of the shares of Changsheng Pharmaceutical and Dr. Liao also owned 30%. However, because both of them were members of the foundation and Dr. Liao was not present, everyone did not want to cause more trouble. Simply put 30% of his money on Xia Ren.

However, considering the particularity of Xia Ren's identity, it must not be exposed to the outside world, so after discussion, it was decided to let Xia Ren designate an agent.

Finally, after another round of discussions, Qin Yun stepped forward to take over 60% of Changsheng Pharmaceutical Company's shares and gain absolute control.

As for Qin Yun's identity, with the foundation here, it is not a problem at all.

The meeting lasted ten hours.

By the time it was over, Xia Ren roughly understood how the special medicine would be used.

…

…

At ten o'clock in the morning on January 27, New Era 1107.

An anti-anxiety and sleep-aid drug called Anjing Capsule was successfully launched.

On the same day it was launched, relevant practitioners discovered that all productive pharmaceutical companies in Blue Star began to announce OEM production of the same drug.

Whether it is Blue Star, one of the top 500 pharmaceutical giants, or a small pharmaceutical company that only relies on a certain patented drug to survive, on this day, they all became the foundries of Changsheng Company.

According to a rough analysis, the expected output of Anjing capsules in one day can reach 50 million capsules.

As the listed company of Anjing Capsules, Changsheng Pharmaceutical has naturally received widespread attention, and everyone has cast an exploratory eye on this previously unknown pharmaceutical factory.

The stock price rose rapidly, and the market valuation of Changsheng Pharmaceutical quickly reached an extremely exaggerated figure.

At the same time, as the major shareholder of Changsheng Pharmaceutical accounting for 60% of the shares, the name Qin Yun has naturally entered everyone's attention.

Not surprisingly, she will become one of the top richest people in Blue Star.
