Chapter 652 Derailed Plan

Virginia was there when the agent that could prevent blight infection was first discovered, and she remembers it well, watching a brief test.

Although she is not a person in the pharmaceutical industry, Virginia is not completely unfamiliar with it.

In her impression, the steps that this type of medicine needs to go through in order to completely complete and enter the production stage can be said to be quite complicated, and the preliminary tests and experiments need a lot of time.

Who would have thought that the laboratory of the Epidemic Prevention Institute announced the successful development in less than a week, and it is hard not to be surprised.

In fact, as Virginia thought, the medicine developed in the laboratory only showed its own value in front of these researchers.

"This is actually the result of an accident."

Newcastle turned sideways, and while speaking, he pointed out several cabins inside the laboratory to Virginia. At this time, soldiers from the Security Department were sitting in them. Judging from the equipment that had not been removed from them, it was obvious that they were Virginia. The part of Genia looking for.

This scene made Virginia frowned subconsciously. The situation of these people combined with the results of the successful development of the drug made her wonder whether the epidemic prevention center was conducting human experiments.

"You misunderstood, we are saving their lives."

Noticing the change in Virginia's expression, Newcastle quickly explained,
"One and a half hours ago, the security department sent a group of soldiers with abnormal hue values ​​to the epidemic prevention station. Their condition was extremely special. On the one hand, they had not yet shown any physical symptoms of epidemic infection; Same hallucination!"

"Professing to see another world?"

Virginia, who originally came here to inquire about the mental state of the soldiers, heard Newcastle mentioning this matter, and asked.

"Yes. You know?"

"Before I came here, I saw it with my own eyes in the No. 7 community. Another world does exist. What they see and what those critically ill patients see are real pictures, but the critically ill patients are affected because their spirits tend to collapse. Furthermore, there are 'hallucinations' all the time, and they are affected by the polluted area one after another in the No. 7 community, and what they see should only be the picture that appeared in front of them at that time. The symptoms of the two seem to be the same, but they are not the same."

As a person who has experienced it personally, Virginia can understand their feelings. It would be strange if ordinary people see such a subversive picture and the influence of the polluted area where the bone tree is located. Even if she is relying on the association The potion provided and his own special soul were the only ones that survived.

"You mean they're not the same as the infected?"

Unknowingly, the cheers around have gradually subsided because of the dialogue between the two, especially after Newcastle's words came out, they fell into another opposite atmosphere.

Dozens of eyes focused on the two of them, and the silence in the laboratory was palpitating.

"Yes, to be precise, they are only mentally affected by the bone tree or the polluted area. You just said that you are saving them. I want to know the result!"

Virginia was not in the mood to take other people's opinions into account at this time, and said bluntly.

"When they were sent to the laboratory, their spirits were already on the verge of collapse. You should understand that there is almost no possibility of any cure in this state. Mutants transformed into monsters of spiritual pollution under the premise. Given that these people have symptoms of infected people, the only medicines that can be used to save them in the laboratory are currently in the research and development stage. I have to admit that this is a last resort. That's the accident I just mentioned, but we never meant to treat these soldiers as experimental subjects."

Newcastle briefly explained what happened just now, then stretched out his hand to guide Virginia to go inside, and then said,

"Facts have proved that our approach is correct. Although the soldier's body has not changed after taking the potion, his own hue value has gradually dropped. We have reason to believe that the bone tree fruit in the potion has been formulated and neutralized. have this effect.”

"Similar to the serum made from snake venom?"

Previously, the Security Department relied on bionics to break through the polluted area of ​​Community No. 37, and indeed obtained a few fruits produced by bone trees. Virginia had received news of this, and she also knew that such things were not inferior to humans. Yu highly toxic.

"You can think of it as the real-time hue value detection data of the first soldier who voluntarily tried the potion."

During the conversation, the two had already come outside a cabin. Newcastle turned on the light screen outside and called up a series of recorded data. As he said, as time went by, the mental state of the soldiers had indeed improved significantly.
"You don't think they are infected, but I think the reason for the abnormal hue value of these soldiers is different from that of the infected, but the state they show is still somewhat similar. They can be regarded as being in the stage between normal people and infected , although the medicine is ineffective against the infected, it can play a certain role in them, and if nothing else, its effect on ordinary people will be even stronger."

In any case, the potion can have an effect on people who are affected by the bone tree and have abnormal hue values. The research team in the laboratory has never thought of relying on it to achieve the effect of curing the infected person. From the perspective of prevention and early treatment effects , it does exactly what you want.

Looking at the changing data on the light screen, Virginia fell silent for a moment.

It stands to reason that she should be as happy as Newcastle now. Although it is not clear whether this potion can have a universal effect on infected people, it is certain that it can help ordinary people resist mental pollution. This alone is enough Let the government invest a lot of resources.

However, the previous investigation in the underlying community and the subsequent communication with Weird Studio made Virginia confirm that the No. 37 community was actually abandoned by the Ouroboros organization voluntarily.

That being the case, the bone tree and its fruits are undoubtedly part of the Ouroboros organization's intentional abandonment, but now the laboratory under the Epidemic Prevention Institute uses it as the core material to produce an effect that is close to that of a vaccine, and to some extent it can be regarded as a vaccine. potion as a cure
Today, almost every step is ahead of Qianfan City, and the Ouroboros organization with such a meticulous layout suddenly makes a mistake at this time?
The strong sense of disobedience made Virginia vaguely reject this potion, which seemed to have a very good effect at first glance.

"I think more tests are needed. After all, it is only the early effect, and no one can guarantee whether there will be sequelae."

Just relying on personal intuition to deny that this drug, which was developed day and night by the researchers of the laboratory affiliated to the Epidemic Prevention Institute, is obviously inappropriate. Besides, Virginia is only guessing and skeptical at the moment, and she is not a professional in this field. In this way, remind them to be cautious.

"Of course, the entire City of Thousand Sails is involved. I will pay attention to this aspect. We have already planned to conduct a week-long follow-up and all-round physical examination on the soldiers who voluntarily received the drug. At the same time, the laboratory will continue to conduct in-depth separation of the drug. Try to find the ingredients that can help those with abnormal hue values ​​recover in the shortest possible time."

Newcastle understood what Virginia meant. During this period of cooperation with Dr. Lecter or the person standing behind him, Newcastle had a deep understanding of the threat of the Ouroboros organization. The former "scavenger The "Project" has already been calculated by the Ouroboros organization once. Due to Grand's death and Lawrence's disappearance, the security department can't even find out what ulterior things the two have accomplished with the help of the "Scavenger" project. .

Newcastle don't want the same thing to happen again.

However, this is only his and Virginia's thoughts after all.

"Director, a communication from the Supreme Council."

Newcastle's private secretary came in through the door. Because the former needed to wear protective clothing to participate in the experiment, he asked the secretary to keep his smart device on his behalf.

With the sudden communication request, Newcastle and Virginia looked at each other, and each saw some kind of negative emotion in the other's eyes.

"I'm from Newcastle, and I understand that there have indeed been breakthroughs in pharmaceuticals, but we ladies, the production of vaccines is not candy. If they have not undergone strict testing and quality control, it is absolutely impossible to use them for human experiments, not only against medical experiments. Is it possible to have the basic moral principles... Has the situation reached this point?"

As the conversation deepened, Newcastle's expression became more and more helpless, and a paragraph of words was interrupted one after another. It goes without saying that the person who can interrupt the words of the new director of the epidemic prevention center so unreasonably.

"On the 13th and the 19th community, a large area of ​​​​hue value abnormalities appeared one after another. It was still at the intersection, and it was less than 7 hours before the accident in the 3th community!"

After hanging up the communication, Newcastle raised his head, took a step forward, and lowered his voice to tell Virginia the news he had just received from the high-level council.

As if to verify what Newcastle said, his voice fell, and Virginia also received a communication request from the Minister of Security.

The time they want for further testing, the Ouroboros organization and the Qiansail City government will not give it!
Bone trees and polluted areas appear one after another. Even if the Qiansail City government puts all the problems on those ghosts and ghosts, it must come up with a regulation to solve the problem in a short time, otherwise the affected people in the lower city will not let it go!
The medicine developed by the epidemic prevention institute has achieved great success, which is undoubtedly the biggest good news at the moment. It would be strange if the Qianfan City government didn't use it to make a fuss.

This is indeed the case. The order issued by the high-level council to Newcastle is very simple, to promote the research and development of vaccines at all costs, and even directly stated that they can organize a group of "volunteers" to cooperate with the experiment, and Newcastle can't even refuse. .

Otherwise, he will be the next director of the epidemic prevention institute who is forced to resign because of overwork!

Today's high-level council is already full of pressure due to the successive strange incidents in Qianfan City and the increasingly chaotic downtown area. It exacerbated this sense of urgency, so that the epidemic prevention institute was forced to speed up its actions.

But can all this be blamed on Virginia?
The real cause is probably still somewhere else.

The Gadamon rampage caused by Zhu Jue's breakthrough into the deep world forced the Ouroboros organization to speed up the implementation of the plan, and the Bone Tree riot in the No. 7 community increased the pressure on the Qiansail City government, forcing the epidemic prevention office to start large-scale drug testing in advance .

Except for the one who was still waiting in the void for his moment.

The game of all parties in Qianfan City has deviated from the original track, and all parties' expected plans have come to nothing, and they all launched new actions because of this.

Chaos has become the main tone, and both sides are waiting for something that can be finalized.

And someone is secretly prodding and trying to make himself a heavy hammer.

I swear to smash this situation!
　there will be later
