Chapter 248 The drug works

"Impossible! There is absolutely no way he could realize that the research we are doing is completely different from the research they asked us to do!"

As he spoke, Wu Zhigang, with a crazy look on his face, tightly grasped Ouyang Zhifeng's arm: "Ouyang Zhifeng, there are only you and I who know about this matter. If you betray me, you know what the result will be!"

Ouyang Zhifeng was completely frightened by the teacher's crazy face. He quickly pushed the teacher away and hid away from Wu Zhigang: "Teacher, what are you talking about? I am your student. If I really expose you, will it be of any benefit to me?"

When Wu Zhigang heard this, his expression was slightly relieved: "It's good that you can understand this. You have to understand that in this world, apart from me, there is absolutely no one else who is willing to protect you after knowing what we are doing!"

"As long as you help me complete the next experiment, then when our experiment succeeds, you will be the teacher's hero. Then we can enjoy the worship of these ants together!"

Looking at the teacher's crazy look, Ouyang Zhifeng didn't dare to say anything more. He could only nod continuously, hoping that the teacher would not start to deal with him.

He knew that if the teacher took action, he would not be able to escape.

The teacher stood there alone, mumbling something, then took out a bottle of potion-like substance from a cabinet and handed it to him.

Ouyang Zhifeng looked at the bottle in his hand and found that he had never seen this thing before, which meant that the teacher had a secret!
"Teacher, what is this thing..." Ouyang Zhifeng looked at Wu Zhigang nervously.

Wu Zhigang smiled, "Go and give this bottle of medicine to Wang Wei and tell him that this is the result of our experimental research."

Experimental research results?

Ouyang Zhifeng suddenly remembered that Wang Wei invited them to the Interstellar Federation base to conduct experiments in order to allow them to separate the tapeworms that were parasitic in the human body from the parasites.

When did the teacher develop the potion that can separate the tapeworm from its host?

If it were in the past, Ouyang Zhifeng would have dared to ask his teacher about the specific ingredients of the potion and how it was developed.

But now, he dared not ask anything, dared not say anything.

"You just need to tell Wang Wei that after giving this potion to people parasitized by the striped worms, it will delay the striped worms' awakening and activity. You don't need to say anything else."

"If Wang Wei asks you, you just need to say that you know nothing."

After hearing what the teacher said, Ouyang Zhifeng did not dare to delay at all and immediately prepared to go and meet Wang Wei.

Wang Wei saw Ouyang Zhifeng coming back, and the smile on his face faded. "What are you doing here?"

Ouyang Zhifeng immediately raised the potion bottle in his hand, "This is what my teacher asked me to bring to you!"

Seeing the potion bottle in Ouyang Zhifeng's hand, Wang Wei frowned in confusion, "Haven't you already reported the contents of the experiment before? In your experimental progress, you never mentioned any potion, so what is the use of this potion?"

Ouyang Zhifeng was suddenly speechless. How could he have forgotten about this?

Just now when the teacher asked him to report the progress of the experiment to Wang Wei, he never mentioned any potion in their experimental progress.

Ouyang Zhifeng could only explain according to what the teacher told him: "I'm sorry, I really don't know when the teacher developed this potion, but the teacher told me that if this potion is given to people parasitized by meat tapeworms, it can delay the time for the meat tapeworms to wake up and start moving."

Ouyang Zhifeng looked at Wang Wei somewhat nervously, afraid that Wang Wei would find out that everything he had just said was a lie, but also afraid that Wang Wei would continue to ask questions.

He was not sure whether his answer would make Wang Wei aware of something if Wang Wei continued to probe further.

"You mean this small bottle of potion can allow creatures parasitized by tapeworms to live longer?" Wang Wei frowned, playing with the bottle of potion in his hand.

"That's exactly what the teacher said. As for the rest, I don't know. If you need anything, I can go back and ask the teacher for clarification."

Wang Wei stared at the bottle of medicine in his hand. Ouyang Zhifeng had no idea what he was thinking.

The more Ouyang Zhifeng interacted with Wang Wei, the more he found that Wang Wei was a very elusive person, and he didn't dare to lie in front of Wang Wei at all. He always felt that if he was not careful, Wang Wei would find out that he was not telling the truth.

"Please keep the potion for now. I know whether to use it or not."

Ouyang Zhifeng fled from Wang Wei as if he had been pardoned.

Wang Wei looked at Ouyang Zhifeng's back, then looked at the bottle of medicine in his hand, and felt that the master and disciple pair of Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang was more and more strange.

If this potion had appeared in the experimental progress they sent, Wang Wei would not doubt this potion at all, but he would doubt the person who studied this potion.

Since he became the experimental subject of Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang, he has developed an inexplicable distrust towards this teacher and student pair.

If it was a potion they developed, no matter how wonderful it sounded, Wang Wei would never use it on people who were parasitized by tapeworms.

However, they first chose to hide the existence of this potion, and then after Ouyang Zhifeng returned from him, they handed over the hidden bottle of potion. Why did they do that?
Could it be that……

Wang Wei turned around and saw a bunch of ghost vines thrown casually on the ground behind him.

If he remembered correctly, the last time Ouyang Zhifeng came here to report the progress of the experiment to him, when he saw this bunch of ghost vines, he showed great interest in it.

If he hadn't spoken up to stop him, he guessed Ouyang Zhifeng would have continued asking questions.

Why are they so interested in what they are doing?

Could it be that they have already realized my suspicion of them?
However, Wang Wei didn't care about such things. The reason why he was suspicious of Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang was because their behavior was not like that of normal people.

If a normal person were to study how to separate the tapeworm from the host, he or she would definitely consider the host's feelings first.

After all, their ultimate purpose of separating the tapeworms from the bodies of the parasites is to ensure that the existence of the tapeworms will not affect the health of the parasites.

If the host cannot survive after the striped worm is removed, then there is no need to conduct research on this type of removal.

Just when Wang Wei was struggling, Lao Wang and Lao Zheng suddenly rushed into Wang Wei's laboratory, panting. The expressions on their faces were very anxious: "Wang Wei, this is not good!"

When Wang Wei saw the two of them appear, he immediately put down the potion bottle in his hand, stood up and asked them what happened: "Tell me, what happened?"

Wang Wei could vaguely sense that what they were going to talk about must be related to the people who were parasitized by the striped worms.

In fact, Wang Wei's guess was not wrong at all. The reason why Lao Wang and Lao Zheng came to him was because something happened to the person who was parasitized by the meat tapeworm.

"After our inspection, it seems that the parasites in the bodies of two soldiers infected by the striped worms have shown signs of activity. The conditions of the two soldiers are very critical now. If you have time, I think you'd better go over and take a look!"

When he heard this, Wang Wei was no longer calm. He immediately asked Lao Wang and Lao Zheng to take him there.

"Take me there now, quickly!"

Lao Wang and Lao Zheng also knew that if they didn't rush over as soon as possible, the infected soldier would not even have a chance to speak.

However, when Wang Wei just walked to the door of the laboratory, he suddenly turned around and looked at the medicine bottle on the laboratory table.

Lao Wang and Lao Zheng noticed that Wang Wei hadn't caught up, and when they turned around, they also noticed Wang Wei's reaction. They all thought Wang Wei's reaction was a bit strange, but they couldn't be sure what Wang Wei was doing. "Wang Wei, what are you hesitating about? What can make you care so much?"

The two men followed Wang Wei's gaze and found the bottle of medicine that Wang Wei had placed on the table. Although they didn't know what was in the bottle, seeing that Wang Wei was so conflicted, they still asked Wang Wei to take the small bottle and immediately went with them to take a look.

This was the first time that the tapeworms in a person's body suddenly showed signs of activity, so there was no way they would miss this opportunity.

When Wang Wei arrived at the area where the soldiers infected by the tapeworms were, he immediately saw the two people whose bodies had already started to move with the tapeworms.

They looked extremely painful, their bodies twisting and rolling on the hospital beds, beads of sweat the size of beans kept falling from their foreheads, it was unbearable to watch.

However, Wang Wei's attention was not on them. Wang Wei looked down at the potion in his hand, and a new round of struggle began in his heart.

Now, he had no idea whether he should use the potion in his hand on the soldier who was being tortured by the striped worms in front of him.

He knew that if the potion was effective, then it would indeed be able to immediately suppress the activity of the tapeworms in the soldiers' bodies and the time for them to fully wake up, just as Ouyang Zhifeng said.

But if all this is just Wu Zhigang's lie, then what will happen to the soldiers who take this potion?

After Lao Wang and Lao Zheng inquired about the soldier's condition with concern, they discovered that Wang Wei, who should have been the backbone of the group, was still staring at the bottle in his hand in a daze.

Lao Wang walked to Wang Wei's side, took Wang Wei to a corner, and asked in a low voice: "Wang Wei, what exactly is that thing in your hand? Why do I find that you seem to be looking at the thing inside from beginning to end? Could it be that the thing inside is very important to you?"

Lao Zheng also echoed: "But no matter how important this thing is to you, our people are about to be tortured to death by the meatworms. Can you please focus on our people?"

After Wang Wei was silent for a while, he looked up at Lao Wang and Lao Zheng and said, "This bottle of potion was sent to me by Wu Zhigang's students."

After hearing what Wang Wei said, Lao Wang and Lao Zheng couldn't help but look at the potion bottle in Wang Wei's hand. "Are you saying that this is the result of Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang's research on meatworms?"

"What exactly does this medicine do?"

Wang Wei could only truthfully convey to Lao Wang and Lao Zheng what Ouyang Zhifeng had told him.

"They said that after the victim takes this medicine, it can delay the time for the tapeworms in the victim's body to wake up and become active. I don't know exactly how long it can delay!"

Lao Wang and Lao Zheng suddenly understood why Wang Wei had been staring at the small medicine bottle in his hand ever since he heard that the tapeworms in a soldier's body had started to move around, torturing the soldier to the point of excruciating pain.

It turned out that someone had already developed a drug to deal with tapeworms, but what was Wang Wei worried about?
Old Zheng was more thoughtful. He still remembered that Wang Wei had a fight with the other party because of the experiment.

"Wang Wei, because of what happened before, are you still doubting Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang, the teacher and student, and thinking that the things they gave you are useless and will not work at all?"

Wang Wei shook his head slightly. "I'm not worried that what they give me won't work. I'm just afraid that the effect of what they give me is completely different from what we imagined!"

Lao Wang and Lao Zheng are also smart people, and they immediately understood what Wang Wei was really worried about.

"But now we have no choice!"

Lao Wang and Lao Zheng both understood that Wang Wei was hesitant because he was unwilling to use these soldiers who had followed them through life and death as test subjects.

But based on the current situation, they have no choice at all.

If the medicine developed by Wu Zhigang was given to their soldiers, they might have a chance of survival, but if not, their soldiers would definitely die!
"Wang Wei, please make a decision as soon as possible. There is no time to waste!"

After taking a look at the soldiers who were being tortured by the meat worms, Wang Wei finally handed the medicine to Lao Wang and Lao Zheng. He walked out of the area and came to a corner of the base, staring at the stars in the sky in a daze.

About an hour later, Lao Wang and Lao Zheng walked out of the area where the soldiers were and stood beside Wang Wei: "We understand your worries, but you can't be afraid of ropes for ten years just because you were bitten by a snake once!"

After hearing what Lao Wang and Lao Zheng said, Wang Wei came back to his senses and looked at them: "What do you mean that the medicine is effective?"

Lao Wang and Lao Zheng smiled and nodded: "That's right, after the soldiers took the drug, the meat tapeworms in their bodies really fell into a deep sleep. Although we don't know how long the effect of this drug can last, it at least proves that Wu Zhigang and his team's research is effective."

Lao Wang and Lao Zheng hope that Wang Wei can reconcile with Wu Zhigang. After all, Wu Zhigang is also a scientific researcher. They don't quite believe that Wu Zhigang and his colleagues would really watch someone die out of selfish motives.

But Wang Wei still had a hunch that the other party's purpose in calling out this drug might not be as simple as saving people.

If they really wanted to save lives, why was there no mention of this drug in the laboratory's research progress?

Wang Wei thought about it and did not tell Lao Wang and Lao Zheng about this.

He felt that if this matter could be told, once it was spread by anyone, Wu Zhigang would definitely be on guard, and it would not be so easy for him to catch Wu Zhigang's handle.

"I understand. Don't worry, I won't continue to look at them with tinted glasses, as long as they carry out their research obediently."

If these two people carried out their research honestly, Wang Wei would never think of treating them unfairly. No matter whether it was money or anything else, as long as he could afford it, he would definitely meet their requirements.

However, Wang Wei had not expected that before he had the chance to find them, the teacher and student took the initiative to come to him.

Lao Zheng and Lao Wang originally planned to visit the soldiers after they took the medicine and record their feelings after taking the medicine.

Unexpectedly, on the way there, I met teacher and student Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang.

When Lao Wang and Lao Zheng saw their teacher and student, they immediately went over to them and asked, "Wu Zhigang, why are you here?"

Hearing this, Wu Zhigang and Ouyang Zhifeng stopped, sweat on their heads, and looked at the three of them anxiously.

"We heard that the fleshworms in some soldiers' bodies showed signs of activity. We came to take a look after hearing the news. What's the situation now?"

Seeing how concerned they were about the soldiers with the meat tapeworms, Lao Wang and Lao Zheng felt that Wang Wei had wronged them before, and hurriedly thanked them: "Thank you very much. If it weren't for the medicine you developed, I'm afraid our soldiers infected with meat tapeworms would be in danger now!"

Wu Zhigang also pretended to be surprised and looked at the three of them: "Are you saying that the drug we are researching has really taken effect?"

Lao Wang and Lao Zheng laughed even more happily. "Of course. In this matter, what reason do you think we have to lie to you?"

"Moreover, we really want to thank you. If it weren't for the medicine you developed, how could we save the lives of our soldiers?"

Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang still said that they wanted to go and see the soldiers whose tapeworms had started to move around in their bodies, and wanted to record the relevant data in preparation for subsequent research.

But Lao Wang and Lao Zheng stopped them: "You don't have to worry about this. We have special medical staff inside our base. They will record the relevant data and give it to you. You are our great heroes now."

After saying that, Lao Wang and Lao Zheng glanced at Wang Wei. In order to ease the atmosphere, they took the initiative to say, "Now Wang Wei has let go of the base's affairs, so the two of us will be in charge. In view of your contribution this time, you can ask for anything you want. If we can help you, we will try our best to help you!"

Wu Zhigang looked at Wang Wei with inquiry in his eyes.

Wang Weizhen did the same thing as Lao Wang and Lao Zheng said, and never expressed any opinion on their proposals from beginning to end.
