Chapter 250 Ouyang Zhifeng's Confession

After Wu Zhigang returned to the laboratory, he immediately notified Ouyang Zhifeng and asked Ouyang Zhifeng to prepare to extract some of the meat worms they were using for the experiment.

Ouyang Zhifeng looked puzzled. Not only did they not need a lot of meat worms for their current experiment, the ones they had collected before were enough to last for a while.

"Teacher, you want so many striped worms. Are you planning to increase the intensity of the experiment?"

At this moment, Ouyang Zhifeng still didn't know what Wu Zhigang was going to do. He thought that Wu Zhigang just wanted to increase the intensity of the experiment and get research results as soon as possible so that Wang Wei could rest assured about them.

But Wu Zhigang's answer made Ouyang Zhifeng's fear gradually spread: "We must let Wang Wei know our importance, otherwise he will definitely drive us back to Earth, and then all our efforts will be wasted!"

Wu Zhigang's words made Ouyang Zhifeng look in shock at the teacher he once admired and trusted the most.

As a student who had been with his teacher for many years, his teacher's words made him immediately guess the other party's true purpose. What made Wang Wei value them was their current research on the tapeworms and the drugs that could delay the tapeworms' awakening and activity time.

If they can do these two things well, Wang Wei will definitely not let them leave.

But now, there has been no progress at all in the research on inhibiting the awakening and activity time of the tapeworm. Most of the people who are now parasitized by the tapeworm have already taken the drugs they developed before.

That is to say, in the short term, there will definitely be no problem with the tapeworms in these people's bodies, but the teacher now obviously wants to use these people's lives to protect their positions!
"Teacher, what are you going to do?"

Wu Zhigang's eyes flashed with madness, and his expression became extremely ferocious. "Of course we have to let them know that if we leave, all the people in the entire Interstellar Federation base who are parasitized by the striped worms will die!"

Ouyang Zhifeng couldn't believe that his teacher, who was originally obsessed with scientific research, would become like this, but he didn't dare to disobey the teacher's order and immediately went to prepare the meat worms.

He now regrets following his teacher to the Interstellar Federation.

Perhaps the research he did on Earth would still be looked down upon by others, and he would still be looked down upon when seeking sponsorship and investment, but at least he would not have to bear a heavy psychological burden.

Just like now, he felt sad when he thought of those young people who had held his hands one by one to thank him for the drugs they had researched, and now they were going to lose their lives in their hands just because their teacher wanted to stay.

There was no moment more than now that he hoped Wang Wei would discover their secret immediately.

However, he never waited for Wang Wei.

When he saw the teacher putting meat worms into the medicine that was usually given to that group of people, he almost felt despair.

After Wu Zhigang dealt with the worms and ensured that outsiders could not distinguish them with the naked eye, he handed the medicine to Ouyang Zhifeng: "Go and distribute these medicines to those who have not been parasitized by worms, and let them take them."

"If they ask why they need to take medicine, tell them that this is an important part of our experiment and an important step in testing whether the medicine we developed can prevent them from being infected by tapeworms!"

After hearing what the teacher said, Ouyang Zhifeng felt completely desperate.

Because the teacher's words had even planned out their escape route!
If a large number of people infected with carnivorous worms suddenly appeared in the Interstellar Federation base, it would definitely attract the attention of Wang Wei and other responsible persons.

At that time, it would be inevitable to investigate this group of people who were suddenly parasitized by the striped worms, but the teacher's words allowed them to easily avoid inspection.

After all, they just wanted to prove whether this drug could prevent people who have not been infected with tapeworms from being infected, but they never said that after taking the drug they gave, they would definitely be able to avoid being infected with tapeworms.

Even if someone discovered that everyone in the base was suddenly infected with tapeworms and that it seemed to be related to them, as long as there was no conclusive evidence, no one would be able to do anything about them.

When he thought of this, Ouyang Zhifeng looked up at Wu Zhigang and said, "Teacher, those people are all innocent. Do we really want to do this?"

Hearing Ouyang Zhifeng speak, Wu Zhigang turned around abruptly and stared at Ouyang Zhifeng with a solemn expression: "What did you say? They are innocent?"

"How do you know they are innocent? Would they speak up for us when Wang Wei drove us out of the Interstellar Federation Base?"

"If we are driven out of the Interstellar Federation base by Wang Wei, they are all accomplices. They can't be innocent!"

Ouyang Zhifeng wanted to say something to refute the teacher, but he had no idea how to refute the teacher.

Just like that, he was kicked out of the laboratory by Wu Zhigang.

Before he was kicked out, Wu Zhigang warned him, "Ouyang Zhifeng, don't let me find out that you have any intention of betraying me, otherwise I will let you know what will happen to those who betray me!"

Ouyang Zhifeng slowed down his pace, as if this could alleviate the guilt in his heart.

But he still met those people who were not infected. When those people saw him, they all came up to him and greeted him with a smile, as if they had a good relationship with him.

Seeing this, Ouyang Zhifeng felt extremely upset.

Someone noticed the medicine in his hand and asked curiously, "Ouyang Zhifeng, what kind of medicine is this? Is there any new result in your and your teacher's research?"

Ouyang Zhifeng didn't dare to say anything. He even had a bold idea that he wanted them not to take these medicines, but he was afraid that the teacher would know.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wang Wei walked over. When he saw Ouyang Zhifeng, Wang Wei frowned slightly, which made Ouyang Zhifeng subconsciously feel guilty, and the hand holding the medicine unconsciously shrank back.

Wang Wei noticed his subconscious action and began to wonder if Ouyang Zhifeng was hiding something from him.

Seeing Wang Wei coming, those who were originally surrounding Ouyang Zhifeng came over to greet Wang Wei, and they looked very happy.

Ouyang Zhifeng looked at this scene, with an expression as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Wang Wei had been keeping an eye on Ouyang Zhifeng out of the corner of his eye, so he did not ignore Ouyang Zhifeng's abnormal behavior.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with the people around him, he asked them to step aside and said that he had something to discuss with Ouyang Zhifeng.

Ouyang Zhifeng immediately became nervous, his hands began to tremble uncontrollably: "What...what do you want from me?"

"The teacher asked me to give these drugs to people who have not been parasitized by the tapeworms. I want to see if the drugs that my teacher and I developed this time can prevent organisms that have not been parasitized by the tapeworms from being parasitized by the tapeworms."

Wang Wei nodded without saying anything. He took the medicine from Ouyang Zhifeng's hand with one hand and looked at it carefully.

Even though Ouyang Zhifeng knew that the medicine prepared by his teacher would make it impossible for people to detect the tapeworms hidden in the medicine, Ouyang Zhifeng still felt guilty.

"Come on, come with me to my lab. I have something I want to talk to you about."

After hearing this, Ouyang Zhifeng followed Wang Wei without saying a word.

It was not because he was particularly afraid of Wang Wei and did not dare to disobey Wang Wei's orders, but because he felt that if Wang Wei really discovered his and his teacher's plan, he would be able to prevent those people from being parasitized by the flesh-eating worms.

As long as these people are not parasitized by tapeworms, their chances of survival will increase.

When he arrived at Wang Wei's laboratory, Ouyang Zhifeng was still standing aside stiffly.

Wang Wei pulled over a chair and asked Ouyang Zhifeng to sit down.

By the way, he picked up the medicine prepared by Wu Zhigang and looked at it carefully. After a long while, Wang Wei looked up at Ouyang Zhifeng: "If I'm not mistaken, there is something wrong with your medicine!"

Although Ouyang Zhifeng really hoped that Wang Wei could find the problem, he also knew that this matter must not be leaked out of his mouth, otherwise the teacher would never let him go, so he subconsciously refuted Wang Wei's words.

"No, if you don't believe me, I can give it a try. There will be absolutely no problem!" As he said that, Ouyang Zhifeng took the medicine and prepared to swallow it.

Wang Wei did not stop Ouyang Zhifeng's action, but just watched him quietly. Ouyang Zhifeng paused, feeling a little embarrassed.

He thought that Wang Wei would definitely not watch him take the medicine, but he didn't expect that Wang Wei had no intention of stopping him at all.

Wang Wei saw that he had stopped and suddenly laughed: "Eat! Didn't you say you wanted to prove it to me? Are you afraid to eat now?"

"So my guess is correct. The medicine your teacher gave you and asked you to give to other people is problematic?"

Last time, the meat worms in someone's body suddenly showed signs of waking up. He did accept the medicine developed by Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang, but this does not mean that he really believed in them.

Ouyang Zhifeng's hand shook and the medicine fell to the ground.

At the beginning, Wang Wei really didn’t know that the medicines brought by Ouyang Zhifeng were problematic. He just thought that Ouyang Zhifeng was a little suspicious, and he couldn’t see anything else.

But now, he was basically certain that there was nothing wrong with his guess.

Wang Wei saw that Ouyang Zhifeng was exposed, so he stopped pretending: "Tell me, what is the problem with the medicine? If you are willing to tell the truth, I can let you go without holding you responsible!"

Ouyang Zhifeng immediately began to feel a struggle between his conscience and his desires.

Reason told him that he must not believe Wang Wei's words. If Wang Wei knew that his teacher and he wanted to use those innocent people to gain a foothold in the Interstellar Federation Base, Wang Wei would definitely not let him go, and he would never let his teacher go either.

Once Wang Wei had such an idea, the teacher would definitely know that he had betrayed the teacher, and the teacher would never let him go. In other words, among all people, only he would end up in an extremely miserable situation.

His instinct told him that he simply couldn't watch so many people get hurt for his and his teacher's selfish desires, even if the harm was not fatal at the moment.

They are all living people and have not done anything to let him and the teacher down. Why should they pay the price of their lives for their desires?

Wang Wei saw Ouyang Zhifeng's tangled look and chuckled: "I know you have concerns. After all, he is your teacher who has trained you for many years. If it weren't for him, you might not be here."

"But I want to tell you one thing, that is, right and wrong has nothing to do with whether he is good to you or not. If you don't betray him just because he is good to you, then you two are the same person."

"Moreover, what he is doing is not leading you in a good direction, but leading you astray. Is this kind of teacher cultivating you or harming you? Think about it yourself!"

Ouyang Zhifeng's eyes suddenly turned red, "You don't understand anything, the teacher is not that kind of person, he has just been oppressed for too long!"

Wang Wei didn't expect Ouyang Zhifeng to suddenly become so excited, and was a little stunned.

Ouyang Zhifeng ignored the fact that the man in front of him was the person in charge of the Interstellar Federation Base. He seemed to be lost in memory and began to mutter to himself: "In fact, the teacher was not like this at the beginning. He is really a very good person. Even though our scientific research projects are not as glamorous as others, and they give people a sense of greatness and awesomeness when they are mentioned, the teacher has never given up."

"However, those investors who only care about profit look down on us. They have insulted the teacher many times. The teacher is so radical just because he wants to prove to them that we are not as useless as they think!"

Hearing this, Wang Wei suddenly understood why Ouyang Zhifeng was willing to cooperate even though he knew that what Wu Zhigang did was wrong.

It may seem that they have been treated unfairly, but that’s because their original intention was wrong!

"If the direction of your and your teacher's research from the very beginning is to benefit mankind, then why do you care so much about the outside world's views on you? Does it mean that things that seem useless are really useless? Who stipulated this?"

"Those researchers who work hard all day to improve the seeds of crops do not look very glamorous. If they do not have any research results, they will be looked down upon like you. According to your experience, do they have to become like you and prove their importance by taking revenge on others?"

Ouyang Zhifeng suddenly looked up at Wang Wei. He suddenly felt that what Wang Wei said was right. There were many people in the world who had the same experience as them, but not all of them would have a vengeful mentality.

In other words, their behavior itself was wrong, but he and the teacher used a seemingly reasonable statement to explain their behavior.

"Are we...really wrong?"

Wang Wei nodded and did not urge Ouyang Zhifeng to tell the truth.

He knew that in order to make Ouyang Zhifeng tell the truth, he must first destroy the reasonable logical thinking in his heart that he and his teacher had constructed for them.

If there is no way to break this underlying logic, then Ouyang Zhifeng will not be able to speak out what they are doing without scruples.

He thought about it for a long time and finally told Wang Wei about his teacher's plan.

"The teacher intends to use these drugs to infect those who have not yet been infected with the tapeworm. Through this action, you will realize the importance of me and the teacher."

"So, even if you are doing research on the striped worm, you can never do without our help!"

Wang Wei frowned slightly. He could understand what Ouyang Zhifeng meant, but he couldn't understand why Wu Zhigang was so eager to prove their usefulness.

Could it be...

"Your teacher also wants to set up an independent research lab, right?"

Ouyang Zhifeng nodded. "The teacher said that we should study parasites and use them as weapons, but... he didn't tell me everything. Now we are only studying the data of the striped worm."

Wang Wei did not doubt what Ouyang Zhifeng said. After many contacts, he could see that Ouyang Zhifeng was not a bad person at heart. Otherwise, when facing those people who were not infected by the fleshworm today, Ouyang Zhifeng would not have hesitated.

"I understand, but can you and your teacher really ensure that what you do will not be discovered?"

Wang Wei frowned and looked at Ouyang Zhifeng.

Ouyang Zhifeng nodded: "Teacher said that meat worms are difficult to detect with the naked eye. The reason why I was discovered... is because I think those who are not infected by meat worms are innocent, and they should not pay the price of their lives for this matter."

Wang Wei was silent for a long time, and finally patted Ouyang Zhifeng on the shoulder: "You did the right thing. The person who really did something wrong was your teacher."

Compared to this, Ouyang Zhifeng was more worried about the fate of him and his teacher.

"Will you drive me and the teacher away?"

Wang Wei shook his head. "Even if your teacher lets him go back to Earth, there will still be big problems, so I don't plan to let him go back to Earth for the time being."

Ouyang Zhifeng suddenly became nervous. Although he wanted to stop the teacher's plan, he never thought of hurting the teacher. He just hoped that the teacher would not hurt those innocent people.

Seeing his worry, Wang Wei nodded and said, "Don't worry, I won't harm your lives, but you still have to pay the price for what you did."

Ouyang Zhifeng nodded to show his acceptance: "I know that those who make mistakes must be punished, but the teacher's current state..."

Ouyang Zhifeng was really worried. The teacher might not be able to accept this fact in her current state, so she could only look up to Wang Wei for help.

"Can you please not tell the teacher that I said all this?"

Wang Wei thought Ouyang Zhifeng was worried that Wu Zhigang would hate him, so he didn't say much: "I can promise you, but I also hope you can do me a favor."

Ouyang Zhifeng guessed what Wang Wei was thinking in an instant and asked Wang Wei if he wanted him to help monitor the teacher.

Wang Wei assured him: "Don't worry, I will not expose you, nor will I inquire about your teacher's real plan. I just hope that if your teacher wants to hurt innocent people, you can notify me."
