After everyone left the laboratory, it was quiet. Lin Qinghe found herself at a loss with the extremely weak You Rong.
After some thought, Lin Qinghe, relying on the original body's memories, found nutrient solution in the laboratory and injected it into You Rong.
Given his current condition, if he didn't receive the nutrient solution, she feared he wouldn't make it through the day.
As Lin Qinghe inserted the needle into You Rong's body, he visibly trembled, then closed his eyes, his pale face almost transparent.
Is it starting again today?
You Rong felt almost despair. Day after day, injected with unknown agents, enduring pain like his body was being torn apart, he had gradually become numb.
Just as You Rong prepared himself for the familiar agony, he heard the woman, so venomous, say softly, "It's just an injection of nutrient solution, it won't hurt, don't be afraid..." Sudanan novel network.
You Rong paused, then felt like laughing mockingly, but his weak body could barely move, let alone laugh out loud.
He could only force his eyes open, looking at Lin Qinghe with a sarcastic gaze.
What pretense is this now?!
That's right!
She must be afraid he wouldn't survive and die, and she wouldn't be able to extract his blood for storage. That's why she was pausing the experimental agents today and giving him nutrient solution!
You Rong thought that the most regrettable thing he had ever done in his life was to reveal the special nature of his blood to save this woman who was like a poisonous snake!
Meeting You Rong's sarcastic gaze, Lin Qinghe could guess his thoughts even by thinking with her toes.
Sighing inwardly, Lin Qinghe knew that no matter what she said now, it couldn't erase the harm the original body had inflicted on You Rong or make him believe in her change. Still, she had to speak.
Lin Qinghe gently held You Rong's unnaturally pale hand and lowered her voice, "I won't experiment on you again, nor will I extract your blood. Believe me!"
You Rong forced a smile, his expression mocking.
You Rong's meaning was self-evident.
Lin Qinghe sighed inwardly and said softly, "I know you don't believe me now, but that's okay... I will make you believe me with my future actions!"
You Rong seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world and coldly spat out a word: "...Scram!"
Lin Qinghe was not angered by the scolding. She loosened the leather strap tied around You Rong's wrist and said softly, "Your body is too weak now. I've added a sedative to the nutrient solution, so you should get some sleep."
You Rong wanted to say something more, but as the sedative injected into his body took effect, he finally couldn't hold on and slowly closed his eyes, falling into a deep sleep.
After You Rong fell asleep, Lin Qinghe found the external wound ointment and applied it to the festering wounds on You Rong's limbs, which had been long bound by leather straps.
Even though You Rong was in a deep sleep, his body twitched in pain as Lin Qinghe applied the medication.
Lin Qinghe quickly finished applying the ointment and looked at the sleeping You Rong, her brows furrowed.
She needed to find a way to get everyone else out of the laboratory so she could act alone. Although she couldn't take You Rong out of the laboratory, at least she could ensure he suffered less under her sole watch.
You Rong's ability to heal zombie bites in the apocalypse was too special, too rare. Countless people in the organization coveted this trait, so You Rong had always been highly regarded by the higher-ups. Even though she was one of the core members of the research team, it was difficult to get You Rong out of the laboratory.
Lin Qinghe shook her head, pushing aside other thoughts for now. The most important thing was to figure out how to gloss over the fact that she had extracted 200 milliliters of You Rong's blood today.
Lin Qinghe wandered around the laboratory and, using the original body's memories, used chemical agents to concoct a liquid that was identical to blood.
Lin Qinghe sniffed it and couldn't help but exclaim, "They can even replicate the taste of blood! Using this to replace the blood You Rong extracted will definitely pass as genuine, and no one will notice..."
Lin Qinghe took professional equipment, drew the concocted blood into a blood bag, and thus covered up the blood extraction.
Lin Qinghe sat beside You Rong, her eyes slightly lowered, lost in thought.
About two hours later, when Lin Qinghe estimated enough time had passed, she re-tied the leather straps on You Rong, but this time she tied them more loosely, so they wouldn't injure him.
After finishing this, Lin Qinghe, with a stern face, took the blood bag and left the laboratory.
The two assistants whom Lin Qinghe had previously driven out saw her emerge and called out, "Professor Lin..."
Lin Qinghe nodded slightly and handed them the blood bag, "This is the blood extracted from You Rong today, take it for storage."
"Understood, Professor Lin, we'll take care of it."
"Also... after You Rong was injected with the new agent, he fell into a coma. For the sake of data accuracy, you are not to inject him with any more agents without my permission. Do you understand!"
Jiang Li, one of the assistants, frowned and asked doubtfully, "Professor Lin, the number 067 agent that we were supposed to inject daily, should that be paused too?"
Lin Qinghe said, "That's right, paused."
"This... this was a plan you and Director Gu agreed upon. Now that Director Gu is not at the base, if you unilaterally stop the plan, it might be difficult to explain to Director Gu?"
The Director Gu mentioned by Jiang Li was Gu Hesheng, a renowned medical doctor and, like the original body, one of the core members of the research team. Like the original body, he only cared about profit and had no humanity.
Lin Qinghe narrowed her eyes and deliberately said coldly, "What are you trying to say? Are you questioning my decision? I said pause, and it's paused! As for Director Gu... I will explain it to him myself. It's not your place to tell me what to do!"
Jiang Li's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Professor Lin, we didn't mean that... Since you will explain it to Director Gu, we will proceed as you instruct."
Lin Qinghe let out a cold snort and left without looking back.
As soon as Lin Qinghe left, a young girl approached Jiang Li and whispered, "Brother Jiang, why do you think Professor Lin is acting so strange today? Although she's still cold and unapproachable, today she seemed particularly scary, especially when she spoke to you. Her eyes, her aura... I was so scared I froze."
Jiang Li pursed his lips and did not answer his companion. He also found it very strange.
Every time Lin Qinghe experimented on You Rong, the more You Rong suffered, the more excited she became. Usually, when You Rong's painful moans echoed in the laboratory, Lin Qinghe would be excitedly recording data. Today, the laboratory was unusually quiet.
Could it be that the agent was too potent, causing You Rong to fall into a coma?
Jiang Li pondered, but couldn't figure it out. He temporarily put the matter aside and left with his companion. They had to go and record and preserve the blood extracted from You Rong's body.
