Finally contacted Earth, you said not to answer?

Chapter 255 Forced
In Wang Wei's laboratory, every move of Ouyang Zhifeng seemed very reserved and cautious.

At this time, he put down the basket containing the rabbit corpses and was about to go back, but was stopped by Wang Wei.

Ouyang Zhifeng's heart instantly rose to his throat. He had no idea what Wang Wei wanted to do by keeping him here, but he knew he couldn't say anything.

"If I'm not mistaken, when I was talking to your teacher just now, you seemed a little strange. Can you tell me why you seem so reserved every time you meet me?"

After thinking for a long time, Ouyang Zhifeng finally answered Wang Wei's question: "I'm sorry, I seem to be a little afraid of you."

"You said before that if my teacher and I...you would make us regret doing something bad. I was always worried that you would misunderstand us. I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it!"

Ouyang Zhifeng didn't expect that his explanation not only failed to make Wang Wei relax his vigilance against him, but instead allowed Wang Wei to seize the loopholes in his words.

Wang Wei glanced at Ouyang Zhifeng, pulled a chair over, and asked Ouyang Zhifeng to sit down and talk.

"You also said that I reminded you before that if you did something bad, I would make you pay the corresponding price for it, but weren't you conducting research experiments normally?"

"Why would you worry about something like this?"

After hearing Wang Wei's question, Ouyang Zhifeng realized that what he had just said would indeed cause Wang Wei to misunderstand.

"I was just too nervous. It's not what you said. If you think there's something wrong with our experiment, you can go check it out yourself. We are really working hard on studying the striped worms. You've seen that the medicine developed by my teacher is really effective, right?"

Wang Wei found Ouyang Zhifeng's eagerness to prove that he had no problems very funny: "Don't you think that every word you say now is like trying to cover up the truth?"

"I just think that there are problems with what you said, and I questioned what you said. I didn't say that your research itself has problems, right?"

Now Ouyang Zhifeng was even more nervous. Everything was just as Wang Wei said. Wang Wei had never taken the initiative to question the experiment they were doing. What Wang Wei had always suspected was their abnormal behavior.

"I, I was just too nervous just now. I have already explained my problem. Please don't misunderstand my teacher!"

Wang Wei knew that Ouyang Zhifeng must be afraid of something, and the thing that scared him so much was most likely his teacher.

"I understand your nervousness, but I also hope that if you encounter any problems, you can ask me for help in time. Although you may not believe what I say, I want to tell you that people's choices are sometimes really important."

"The choice is whether to be a good person or to be despised and insulted by others. It all depends on your decision."

After saying that, Wang Wei waved towards Ouyang Zhifeng.

After Ouyang Zhifeng walked out of Wang Wei's laboratory in a daze, he kept repeating what Wang Wei had just said in his mind.

Just like Wang Wei said, whether or not to be a good person, and what kind of person to be, all depends on his thought.

But does he really have a choice?

Before they knew it, Ouyang Zhifeng had returned to their laboratory.

The moment Wu Zhigang saw Ouyang Zhifeng, he immediately grabbed his shoulder and said, "Have you figured out what Wang Wei wants to do with the meatworms?"

Ouyang Zhifeng was stunned for a while before shaking his head at Wu Zhigang: "Teacher, Wang Wei didn't tell me anything. He asked me to put down the dead bodies of the rabbits and let me come back."

Wu Zhigang stared at Ouyang Zhifeng for a long time before slowly letting him go. Then he turned around and thought about what Wang Wei's actions meant.

Just when Ouyang Zhifeng breathed a sigh of relief, Wu Zhigang suddenly turned his head and looked at him: "Did you see what experiment Wang Wei is doing?"

Ouyang Zhifeng shook his head. "Wang Wei didn't let me get close to his experimental equipment. I didn't dare to stay any longer, for fear that he would suspect us!"

Although Ouyang Zhifeng made up the story casually and concealed what Wang Wei said to him and the questions he raised, he was familiar with Wu Zhigang's character and knew that Wu Zhigang would definitely believe him.

Things turned out just as he expected. Wu Zhigang really believed what he said and suddenly became nervous: "No, we must find a way to get out as soon as possible, otherwise if Wang Wei really finds out the purpose of our experiment, he will definitely stop us!"

Ouyang Zhifeng looked at the teacher in confusion, and suddenly wanted to find Wang Wei and confess everything to him.

But he couldn't bear to see Wu Zhigang become the target of public criticism. After all, Wu Zhigang was his teacher and had been very good to him.

"Teacher, should we suspend the experiment first?"

Wu Zhigang, who was still worried about what to do if Wang Wei found out, turned around abruptly after hearing Ouyang Zhifeng's words: "What did you say? Suspend the experiment?"

"You know that we are very pressed for time now. If we can't make our research bear fruit before Wang Wei takes action against us, we won't know if we will have the opportunity to continue this experiment after we are kicked out of the Interstellar Federation Base!"

"Do you understand or not?"

Ouyang Zhifeng lowered his head, struggling internally, but on the surface he still had to pretend to obey the teacher's words: "I understand, I will prepare the things for the next experiment now!"

Looking at Ouyang Zhifeng's busy back, Wu Zhigang had already begun to doubt Ouyang Zhifeng.

Although Ouyang Zhifeng was his student, he knew early on that Ouyang Zhifeng had a very kind and argumentative character. If Wang Wei really said something to him, it would most likely affect Ouyang Zhifeng.

But he would never let anyone ruin his plan!
Wu Zhigang secretly made a decision in his heart. If he found out that Ouyang Zhifeng might be in cahoots with Wang Wei, he would ruthlessly kill his student!
……

On the other side, in Wang Wei's laboratory.

The Plant Alien King did not leave the laboratory, but hid in the locker room inside the laboratory. He only came out of the locker room after Ouyang Zhifeng left.

Seeing the basket of rabbit corpses on the ground, the Plant Alien King couldn't help but frown.

When Wang Wei saw the Plant Alien King, he immediately asked him to go to the locker room and put on protective clothing. Next, he planned to forcibly remove the tapeworms from the rabbit corpses for research.

Because the striped worm will die within a short period of time after leaving the host, he has very little time left.

Moreover, if the Plant Alien King did not wear protective clothing properly, he would most likely be parasitized by the tapeworm.

Although he currently doesn't know the physique of the Plant Alien King, whether he will be chosen by the striped worm to become the target of parasitism.

The plant alien king, who had changed into protective clothing, looked at Wang Wei and began to help Wang Wei peel the tapeworms from the rabbit's body.

When Wang Wei was observing the tapeworm, he found that although it was a parasite, it did not seem to be aggressive at all. He did not understand why this parasite would cause such great harm to a living organism when it lived in the body of the organism.

Could it be that because of the different environment, the striped worm was unable to reveal its true appearance?
This forms a perfect closed loop with what the Plant Alien King said.

If the tapeworms wake up due to environmental reasons, then the drugs developed by Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang are likely to make the environment in the body of the parasite unsuitable for the tapeworms to wake up, so as to prolong the time for the tapeworms to wake up and start activities.

Thinking of this, Wang Wei suddenly felt a little regretful.

If he could keep some of the medicine that Ouyang Zhifeng and Wu Zhigang gave him for research, he wouldn't have to rack his brains to guess what the ingredients of the medicine were.

Unfortunately, what happened cannot be changed, so Wang Wei decided to start with the meat worms.

At this time, the Plant Alien King came to Wang Wei and said: "Such research is meaningless, because if you can't see the whole process of the parasitism of the meatworm with your own eyes, you don't know the underlying logic of the parasitism of the meatworm at all."

Wang Wei slumped in the chair, staring at the basket of rabbits on the ground in a daze.

Just as the Plant Star King said, the research they were conducting now was meaningless, because the meatworms forcibly stripped from the rabbit corpses did not show any signs of activity. So there was no use for them to get these meatworms.

However, accidents often happen when people have completely given up hope on the matter.

When Wang Wei was studying the ghost vine, he heard the words of the King of the Plant Alien and was inspired, so he turned to studying the meat worm.

But it was also for this reason that he placed the two glass vessels used to study the meatworms and ghost vines on the table at the same time.

At this moment, the ghost vine, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly struggled to move towards the glass container containing the meat worms.

Although the ghost vine has been studied and found to have lost its vitality, the ghost vine is very strange. It can still survive and move when the whole plant is taken down, which makes Wang Wei feel very strange.

Now, its movement towards the glass container containing the meatworm made Wang Wei and the Plant Alien King stunned.

"What is going on?" Wang Wei and the Plant Alien King stared at the strange thing happening on the table without blinking.

The Plant Alien King gave his guess: "Both of these are parasites, so maybe they have some kind of hostile relationship?"

"And don't forget that the habit of the ghost vine is to strangle the animals that come close to it, and then use them as nutrients for the plants it parasitizes, so as to ensure that it can parasitize on the parasite for a long time."

"Perhaps the meatworm was taken as prey by the ghost vine."

"prey……"

The words of the Plant Alien King reminded Wang Wei again that if the ghost vine would treat the meat worm as prey, it should mean that the ghost vine also has natural enemies!

He finally realized what he had overlooked!
The relationship of mutual promotion and mutual restraint is the most important link that he has overlooked.

No matter how scary the tapeworm is, and the people who are parasitized by it cannot separate the tapeworm from the host, it doesn't matter.

Since it is a living creature, it must have natural enemies among all things in the universe. As long as he can find the natural enemy of the meat worm, he thinks he should be able to use the natural enemy of the meat worm to completely separate the meat worm from the parasite.

As long as the tapeworm loses its host, it is actually very difficult for it to survive outside.

So, in front of the King of the Plant Alien, Wang Wei placed the two parasites in a peeling dish, ready to see which of them was better.

Some of the ghost vines that were placed in the glass container with the meat-tape worm began to struggle violently. It can be seen that the ghost vines' struggles were actually moving towards the meat-tape worm.

Soon, the ghost vine came into contact with the meat worm.

Just as Wang Wei and the Plant Alien King were staring intently at the ghost vines and the meat-worms, they suddenly discovered that the two had suddenly become motionless.

The Plant Alien King and Wang Wei looked at each other, thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because the fleshworms themselves can't leave the host for too long, so this happened. Why don't you try again?"

Wang Wei felt that what the Plant Alien King said made sense. He peeled off another tapeworm from the rabbit's body, and then immediately took a small piece of the ghost vine, preparing to put the two parasites together.

Unexpectedly, the same situation happened again.

The ghost vine, which was originally extremely active, suddenly became silent when it approached the meat-tape worm and was about to touch it.

The same goes for the meatworm. When it was moving vigorously, it would instantly become quiet when it was about to be touched by the ghost vine.

After trying several times, the result was the same. Wang Wei was confused and did not continue: "What went wrong?"

"If they really are in a mutually reinforcing and mutually exclusive relationship, then why did they lose their vitality at the same time in an instant?"

Wang Wei felt that if these two parasites restrained each other, the stronger one would eliminate the weaker one.

He even had already thought about it. If the ghost vines could really control the striped worms, he would rather take the plant alien king back to the plant planet and bring back all the ghost vines there.

This means that it is really very effective.

The soldiers in the base who are parasitized by the tapeworms will no longer have to worry about the tapeworms parasitizing their bodies.

But now, everything they witnessed seemed to tell them that this path was not feasible.

Seeing Wang Wei's frustrated look, the Plant King patted Wang Wei on the shoulder and comforted him, saying, "This is how experimental research works. You never know which will come first, surprise or disappointment!"

"However, based on this incident, we basically know that the striped worms and the ghost vines will affect each other. However, whether this influence will change the parasitic nature of the striped worms in the body, we will surely get results if we study it slowly!"

Wang Wei knew that the Plant King was trying to comfort him, but what he said still made him feel uncomfortable.

Wang Wei also knew that if he continued his research in the direction of the clues they currently had, as long as he was willing to spend the time, he would definitely find something useful.

But what he lacks most now is time. He can wait, but how can those soldiers who are parasitized by the flesh-worms wait?
What's more, Goso and Orwell are still in the hands of the Bayan race. If he can't solve this problem as soon as possible, Goso and Orwell are likely to be in danger.

The Plant Alien King was unaware of Wang Wei's worries and was still trying to find ways to comfort Wang Wei.

Wang Wei suddenly stood up and took the basket of rabbit corpses away: "I'm going to go out and calm down, and get rid of these things by the way. These things are of no use to us at all."

The Plant Alien King did not follow him, he believed in Wang Wei's character.

Wang Wei has the group of soldiers who are parasitized by the striped worms in his mind, so Wang Wei will definitely not do anything stupid.

However, the King of the Plant Planet also has things to worry about. He doesn’t know what the plant planet has become now, and he has no idea who the mastermind mentioned by Wang Wei is.

They are like a bunch of clowns who think they can surpass the mastermind behind the scenes, but they don't expect that they are still being led by the nose.

After Wang Wei dealt with the rabbit's corpse and made sure the tapeworms would not parasitize other creatures, he stood by the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the base, staring at the vast starry sky in a daze.

When he was on Earth, Wang Wei thought that he was basically invincible as he possessed ancient civilization. After coming to outer space and becoming the head of the Interstellar Federation, Wang Wei realized that the ancient civilization was just one of many alien civilizations and was not as magical as he imagined!

At the same time, Wu Zhigang and Ouyang Zhifeng also accelerated the progress of the experiment.

However, because of what Wang Wei had said to him before, Ouyang Zhifeng was obviously absent-minded. Not only were there many loopholes in his research, but even when Wang Wei called him, Ouyang Zhifeng did not respond at all.

Wu Zhigang stopped and was about to ask Ouyang Zhifeng why he looked so distraught, when he immediately heard what Lao Wang and Lao Zheng said.

"Wang Wei has been acting really strange lately. He has handed over all the trivial matters of the base to us. Could it be that he has found a new research direction?" The voice belonged to Old Wang, and his tone was somewhat self-deprecating.

"That's impossible. If Wang Wei really has thought of a solution, he would definitely tell us the first time. How could he hide it?" Lao Zheng denied Lao Wang's words.

"Then tell me, why has he been so close to the Plant Alien King recently? He basically lives in the laboratory and has never left the laboratory, let alone dealt with the trivial matters of the base!"

When Wu Zhigang heard this, he immediately felt that something was wrong.

If Wang Wei has really figured out something, then wouldn't they be of no use and unable to stay here any longer?

Most importantly, their research may be interrupted!
After thinking about it, Wu Zhigang decided to make a mysterious move and destroy Wang Wei's plan!
Wu Zhigang's plan seems simple, but it is not that easy to implement.

He wanted to let the striped worm parasitize more people, so that his effect could be demonstrated and he could further complete his ongoing experiment!
