Break out of the courtyard

Just as Mr. Hua and Director Wang stood downstairs at the Peace Group building, listening to the Peace Group's public relations department's statements, the person in charge of China Resources Group arrived.

After the person in charge came over and greeted them, he hurriedly explained his purpose: "I just received news that the Japanese Embassy in Hong Kong has hired Umbrella Corporation to build a security system for them. The bodyguards from Umbrella Corporation went there to investigate the existing security vulnerabilities of their embassy!"

This statement can only fool ordinary people. If the Umbrella Corporation really wanted to conduct a security inspection, would they need Wei Chunqiao, the person in charge, to personally lead the team?

Their relationship with the Japanese is not as friendly as it was in the 1980s!
Although it was known that this reason was used to appease outsiders, the secret hidden behind it pointed directly to the fact that the Japanese islanders stole the culture medium from Zhang Heping's laboratory; otherwise, why would the Japanese islanders be so easy to talk to?

After the news interview ended, the reporters from various countries who had been blocking the door dispersed, satisfied. After a brief discussion with Director Wang, Mr. Hua decided that he would take his people back to the Peace Hotel first, while Director Wang would go to the library to wait for Zhang Heping.

Since the Japanese consulate in Hong Kong was not forcibly broken into by the bodyguards of the Umbrella Corporation, there is no need to rush this matter!

Furthermore, the virus culture medium was stolen by the Japanese islanders, not released by Zhang Heping. Even if something happened on the Japanese islands, it was their own fault.

With the Peace Group's actions this morning, it has effectively silenced outsiders in advance.

Even though Elder Hua, Director Wang, and others knew that the Peace Group was mostly putting on an act, they couldn't do much to interfere in the matter.

After all, the Peace Group was the victim. Since Elder Hua couldn't help them recover the stolen culture medium, he didn't have the confidence to persuade the Peace Group to give up.

When Director Wang arrived outside the library, although the bodyguards still wouldn't let her in, they didn't chase her away to wait on the flat ground like they did with the foreign reporters.

As lunchtime approached, Zhang Heping, as usual, prepared to go home for lunch.

Based on this, Director Wang waited outside the library, intending to take Zhang Heping to the restaurant for lunch and discuss the matter of Ridao Island.

However, Zhang Heping's decision to reduce the number of Japanese people was something he absolutely could not tell anyone.

"Peace!" As soon as Director Wang saw Zhang Heping come out, he rushed over, and the bodyguard next to him did not stop him.

A group of foreign journalists guarding the steps of the dam also moved, but unfortunately they were not as fast as the bodyguards raising their guns.

When faced with the flashing blue arcs of gun barrels, the foreign journalists all cowered and hastily retreated to the ground below, only daring to film with video cameras, still cameras, and mobile phones.

Don't blame these foreign journalists for being so cowardly; it's mainly because they learned their lesson from the stun guns when they swarmed over this morning, and they know that those bodyguards are really capable of shooting at them.

The key point is that the electric arcs that attacked them only made them feel very uncomfortable, but not fatal. When the Hong Kong police came, they couldn't do anything and instead blamed them for not following the rules!
“All the senior experts have returned to Shenzhen, leaving only some young assistants here. Professor Hua would like to invite you to lunch and chat about something.” As Director Wang spoke, his eyes were fixed on Zhang Heping’s facial expression, trying to find something.

Zhang Heping said calmly, "I have something to do at noon. Please ask Aunt Wang to tell Mr. Hua that we can get together for dinner again!"

Director Wang tentatively asked, "Is it about the theft from the laboratory?"

"Hmm!" Zhang Heping replied casually, without offering any further explanation.

"Peace, could you tell me just how dangerous the stolen virus culture medium is?" Director Wang asked again.

"We haven't done any experimental testing yet, so we can't evaluate it at this time!" Zhang Heping walked to the car door opened by the bodyguard, turned to look at Director Wang, and said:

"The virus samples were sent by the mainland's Antarctic research team. Shenzhen Peace College should have kept the samples. If you want to know the answer, you can have the biological experts there test them, so that you won't doubt what I'm saying."

"Look at what you're saying!" Director Wang said with a hint of reproach, "If I didn't believe you, would I be asking you?"

"Aunt Wang, I'm leaving now. See you for dinner!" Zhang Heping said goodbye and got into the car.

Director Wang didn't need to guess; he knew exactly why Zhang Heping had rushed back at noon!

Wei Chunqiao caused such a commotion at the Japanese embassy in Hong Kong that, regardless of whether it was at Zhang Heping's behest, a report must be submitted.

Mr. Hua didn't say much about waiting an extra afternoon.

After receiving several phone calls from the capital, he went with Director Wang to the Virtual Dream Lecture Hall to experience the virtual dream game "Nanjing Has Fallen" once again.

As for the group of young assistants, since they had finally come to Hong Kong Island, Mr. Hua took it upon himself to have the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Commission send someone to act as a guide and take them out to explore the bustling city of Hong Kong.

However, Zhang Yi's 16-person brain-computer interface research team was able to enter the mental power training room that Zhang Bei and Zhang Nan usually use, thanks to the accelerated review process in mainland China, and begin learning how to control their mental power.

Zhang Heping doesn't trust the 14 young people other than Zhang Yi and Luo Yi, but the Shenzhen Peace Academy says it has received notification to accept the immediate family members of these 14 young people.

In other words, if these 14 people want to betray us in the future, they will have to do what Old Man Lu's family did back then: first, take their families and flee to Japan, and then to the United States.

Finally, we must pray that the United States will not deport them!

Ever since the Lu family was handed over to the US, they have been used as a typical negative example in China and promoted in various universities, research institutes, and classified units.

Therefore, Zhang Heping did not trust those 14 people, but rather the Shenzhen Peace Academy. After learning from Old Man Lü's experience of betrayal, they would keep an eye on the immediate family members of those 14 people and do ideological work on them.

At 2 p.m., news came back from Taiwan that no suspicious persons or liquids were found on the intercepted Japanese ship.

However, while intercepting the ship, they spotted the Japanese warships nearby.

Thus, the four types of virus culture fluids stolen last night have been successfully taken back by the Japanese islanders themselves!
If Zhang Heping arranges for those things to be deployed and they are discovered, it would be considered a crime against humanity and terrorism, which no country would morally tolerate!

They will use this as an excuse to forcefully seize the Peace Group's assets in various locations, under the guise of compensating the victims of the Japanese islands.

If Zhang Heping were truly foolish enough to do that, then he wouldn't deserve his current wealth!
However, even the four types of virus culture media stolen by the Japanese islanders, from a purely biological perspective, wouldn't reveal much in a short period of time.

They would only say, as the public relations manager of the Peace Group said in a public interview, that it came from a virus originating billions of years ago and was not artificially cultivated!

However, in biological research, in addition to the term "artificial cultivation," there is also the term "artificial selection."

It took Zhang Heping two days and two nights to select the ancient virus he liked. Without any reference, how could other biological experts discover the differences between those viruses?
……

East of the Ryukyu Islands, three Japanese warships are rapidly heading towards the island.

On the deck of the Kongo-class destroyer in the middle, several people in protective suits and gas masks were conducting full-body internal and external examinations on three Japanese islanders. In a temporarily converted cabin below deck, however, only one heavily protected Japanese islander was carefully examining the virus culture fluid that the three Japanese islanders had risked their lives to bring back.

Even though the Japanese had been researching chemical weapons for a long time, they were still no match for Zhang Heping, who was a cheat code!
Even though these Japanese islanders brought the four virus cultures back to the island's top-level biological research laboratory that very night, they didn't discover anything unusual about these viruses, let alone any connection to the Lifespan 200 drug.

In addition, viruses are not poisons and cannot immediately demonstrate their allure to the Japanese islanders.

In addition, Zhang Heping's approach is a subtle subtraction at the gene level. It won't alleviate aging in the short term like the Longevity Elixir, but rather, like the Longevity 120 Elixir's 120-year lifespan expectation, it will take time to be tested!
Therefore, until January 31, under the watchful eyes of concerned people from various countries, no terrible virus infection incidents broke out in Japan.

It's as if the Peace Group is spreading alarmist rumors just to retrieve the stolen core research materials.

If I had to point out anything wrong with it, there is one thing that could be considered bad.

Those three Japanese islanders who brought back the virus culture fluid, along with the crew and passengers on the Japanese island ship they had traveled on, all showed some cold symptoms, such as frequent sneezing and runny nose.

……

With everything settled on the Japanese island, Elder Hua and the authorities in the capital gradually felt relieved and began to focus on Zhang Heping's genius training camp and the Hong Kong government's sentencing of those who attacked the Japanese island.

On January 21, Zhang Heping issued 158 advance payment cards for Shouyuan medicine.

By the time registration closed at 6 p.m. on January 31, only 145 teenagers had returned to participate in the genius training camp.

其中，内地135人、港岛3人、北苏5人、欧洲1人、镁国1人。

The three boys who were missing from Hong Kong Island have now immigrated to Europe and become the stepsons of wealthy men.

The Soviet Union lost 3 people, Europe lost 4 people, the United States lost 2 people, and the Chinese teenager from New Island immigrated to the United States. All of these were due to the transfer of the Lifespan Drug Advance Card, which restricted their travel and prevented them from coming to Hong Kong Island to participate in the Genius Training Camp.

The buyers didn't let them participate in the training, firstly because they were afraid they would get close to Zhang Heping, and secondly because they were afraid that once they had mastered the skills, they would look down on the money they spent on medicine!

If those buyers were truly wealthy, they could simply purchase longevity potions directly from the Peace Group; there was no need for them to covet the longevity potion prepayment cards held by those young people.

As for Ou Mei and another boy leaving behind to participate in the genius training camp, it was mostly to gather intelligence on the site, and they had no choice but to keep them.

At 9 a.m. on February 1, a large crowd of onlookers poured into the first floor of the Peace College Library.

Because the area of ​​the virtual dream learning pods was unobstructed, outsiders could see more than a hundred teenagers and young people standing next to each of the black learning pods, listening to Zhang Heping, the initiator of this training camp, speak.

"I'm giving you a simple task today!" Zhang Heping said, standing by the whiteboard on the wall, as he wrote a line on the whiteboard: "Build a bicycle!"

"Remember, this task is for all of you! You can work together to complete it, or you can work in small groups of two or three."

"I'll set the virtual dream acceleration to 10x for now. Anyone who can't handle it can quit the game and adjust the settings. There's food and drinks in the rest area over there, and the toilets are on the other side."

"I will come over at 9 a.m. tomorrow, 24 hours from now, to assign tomorrow's tasks. Alright, you can enter the learning pods now!"

"Excuse me, sir!" the only American teenager said loudly, "Do you have any requirements for the bicycle? Or are there any standards?"

"Make yourselves at home!" Zhang Heping put down his marker and casually said as he walked towards the dark computer room in the corner.
"Today is just to familiarize you with the learning environment inside, as well as the various laboratories and factories. It doesn't matter if you build a toy bicycle!"

Zhang Heping's explanation was clear enough, saving others from having to ask questions.

There are a total of 200 learning pods. In addition to the 145 teenagers, there are Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan, Zhang Yi and others, as well as a group of young assistants from the mainland expert team that came earlier, and the young men and women from the Tang, He, Bao and Guo families.

These young people filled all 200 learning pods, leaving no opportunity for others to experience them.

As Zhang Heping entered the server room to continue refining the dream world of the regenerative brain server, the learning pods outside also gradually lowered their covers to prevent outsiders from peeping.

……

In the dream world of the Genius Training Camp, there stands a library that soars into the clouds.

After Zhang Bei, Zhang Nan, and the others entered the virtual dream world, they all appeared in the lobby on the first floor of the library in the form of scarecrows.

“Our dad didn’t give us human bodies, this is going to be much harder!” Zhang Long chuckled as he looked at the loose straw hands and arms. With a little effort, straw fragments fell to the ground.

"I am Zhang Yi. All team members and classmates, please gather here!" A gray-yellow scarecrow wearing white briefs waved his arms at the scarecrows around him who were dressed similarly, holding up a dark yellow round straw hat. Straw fragments fell down with a rustling sound.

"Brother Yi, stop waving!" Zhang Hu shouted, "This body has a limited lifespan. The more straws fall off, the more restricted its movement becomes!"

"I am Zhang Bei. Just a reminder! In order to complete tomorrow's task, I suggest that everyone build a bicycle for transportation, because the area outside is very large." Another scarecrow wearing white briefs and a hat spoke up, but after talking for a while, some straw crumbs fell from the corner of his mouth.

"Excuse me, how do we build a bicycle?" a scarecrow dressed in white underwear and a white bra asked from the crowd.

Before Zhang Bei could answer, another scarecrow dressed in women's underwear approached Zhang Bei and said, "I am Zhang Nan!"

"You can go to the display screens around the room to look up mechanical books to learn about bicycle construction, then go to the warehouse area on the left outside the door to find materials, and go to the factory area on the right to produce them."

"The laboratory is behind the library; you can explore it at your leisure later!"

A female scarecrow quickly approached Zhang Bei and asked, "Brother Bei, I am He Ruting. Will we be using these scarecrow bodies from now on?"

Just as the crowd was moving toward Zhang Bei and Zhang Yi, the seven teenagers from Bei Su and Ou Mei also mingled among the scarecrows, trying to follow the mainlanders.

"Brother Yi, there are too many kids on your side, so we won't team up with you. I'll take some people to the factory area first!" Zhang Bei said, then called the others to follow.

As the head of the brain-computer interface research team, Zhang Yi not only had to take care of his wife and 14 team members, but also his young assistants and the group of genius teenagers from mainland China.

Fortunately, he had been a university lecturer for several years and had experience in managing students. Yesterday, he appointed 3 class leaders and 15 group leaders... (End of this chapter)
