Doomsday group favorite: I will win with my three brothers

Chapter 254: First, Courtesy, Then Force
"They're naturally the same height!"

Professor Yuan shook his head: "That won't do. What if our research directions conflict? Whose opinion should we follow?"

There was silence in the laboratory.

Professor Wang was also taken aback, but he quickly said, "I don't think so."

"Not now, but who knows in the future."

"Didn't we share a lab back in school?"

Why don't you mention how we used to argue three times a day back then?

“Weren’t you young back then?” Professor Wang said sullenly. “What can we do? There are only two labs here, and they’re both full. We can’t spare one for you.”

Professor Yuan snorted coldly: "You dare to ask me to stay without an independent laboratory? Old Wang, you're getting more and more unreliable as you get older."

Professor Wang was speechless. He really wanted to keep Professor Yuan, but he hadn't really thought that far ahead.

Just then, a hearty laugh came from outside the door: "I have long admired Professor Yuan's name, and it is an honor to meet you today!"

Professor Wang was taken aback, and quickly whispered, "Why is he here! This is Deputy Base Commander Li Jun."

Logically speaking, he should be with Zhao Shiyun right now.

Soon Li Jun walked in. Zhao Lexi saw that he was a man of medium build, slightly overweight, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and with a big smile on his face.

He stretched out his hand, walked up to Professor Yuan, and shook his hand warmly: "I have long admired Professor Yuan, and it is an honor for me to have Professor Yuan grace me with his presence today."

Professor Yuan had a good first impression of Li Jun.

Zhao Lexi followed behind Li Qiong, quite surprised by the energy fluctuations emanating from Li Jun, who was also a Level 5 evolved human. However, her older brother had told her that there were only two Level 5 evolved humans in the capital base: one was Li Musheng, the son-in-law of the base commander Nie Ping'an, and the other was Min Feng, the vice-captain of the Xiangyu Mercenary Group, the largest mercenary group in the base.

Li Musheng has nothing to say. Before the disaster, he took the civil service exam and became a government employee. After learning about his evolutionary talent, he immediately connected with Nie Ping'an and gradually got to Nie Ping'an's side. With the base chief's resources, he naturally became the strongest evolved human in the base and naturally established a romantic relationship with Nie Ping'an's daughter, Nie Xiaoxia.

Min Feng's rise to power is quite interesting. Before the disaster, he was a street urchin who had worked as a courier and then as an extra. Eventually, thanks to his good looks, he hooked up with a wealthy woman. After the disaster, he fled to the capital base with her and then disappeared. When he reappeared, winter was approaching. As a Level 3 evolved human, he joined the Xiangyu Mercenary Group, the largest mercenary group in the capital. After becoming a Level 5 evolved human in the spring, he was promoted to vice-captain.

In her previous life, the mercenary group that Zhao Lexi wiped out single-handedly was the Xiangyu Mercenary Group. At that time, Zhao Lexi never faced the vice leader Min Feng, which means that he was not in the base. Otherwise, with his strength being equal to hers, she would not have been able to wipe out the entire mercenary group so easily.

In this life, because the zombies level up faster, the evolved humans also progress faster than in the previous life. She reached level five in the second year after the disaster, and they also reached level five much earlier.

The fact that the eldest brother didn't mention Li Jun means he's hiding his true strength.

This is interesting. Zhao Lexi stared curiously at the unassuming Li Jun with her big eyes, toying with the green jujube that Professor Wang had given her.

After exchanging pleasantries, Li Jun quickly got to the point: "Professor Yuan, as you know, the number of survivors on Earth is decreasing every day. Everyone is eagerly hoping to develop a drug that can kill the zombie virus and save everyone from this disaster! At the very least, they hope to develop a drug that can enhance the strength of evolved humans and reduce the loss of survivors. This is related to the continuation of our entire human race, and it is the most important thing right now."

Professor Yuan nodded repeatedly.

"As you can see, we have complete experimental equipment and a wealth of talent here, making it the perfect place for research. My initial idea is to gather all the talent we can, work together, and strive to develop the strongest antidote for the zombie virus to save the people from this disaster."

Zhao Lexi was thrilled and stretched out both hands to applaud.

Professor Yuan said indifferently, "So what do you plan to do now?"

Li Jun pulled out a man in his thirties from behind him: "This is Li Yafei, the head of another laboratory. He will be your deputy from now on, mainly supporting your work! Now, you are the head of another laboratory! Together with Lao Yuan and me, we will become the saviors of humanity!"

There was no resentment on Li Yafei's face, but rather a look of eager anticipation in his eyes.

Professor Yuan rolled his eyes, his earlier goodwill vanishing instantly: "Not interested."

Li Jun smiled slightly: "Professor Yuan, please think it over carefully!"

"First, there is no cure for the zombie virus. If there were, it would not only kill the zombies, but also us. All naturally evolved humans and those evolved by drugs would die together! Because what drove our evolution was the zombie virus. It has now become one with our bones and blood. If it dies, we die too. Second, more people are useless. No matter how many useless people there are, they are still useless. Quantitative change will not lead to qualitative change. Finally, I am doing well at the Beicang base and do not want to move. It may affect my experimental inspiration."

Professor Yuan went from sarcasm to rejection in one smooth motion.

Li Jun's smile vanished, and his face darkened. "Professor Yuan, I've treated you with courtesy. Don't be so stubborn."

Professor Yuan retorted defiantly, "What do you want? Kill me!"

Li Qiong was terrified and kept tugging at Professor Yuan's clothes: "Teacher, we're on someone else's turf now. We can't speak so directly. What if we really can't leave?"
Zhao Lexi was somewhat eager to try, wondering if Li Jun would be so angry that he would directly attack and reveal his strength.

Professor Wang looked troubled, glancing left and right, unsure which side to speak for.

Li Jun laughed angrily: "How could you think of me like that, Professor? We are all thinking about the future of the survivors, and we have no selfish motives. I have already had someone prepare a place for you to rest. If you are tired, go and rest. Then do what you need to do! I have other things to do, so I won't disturb you any longer."

After saying that, Li Jun turned and left.

Before leaving, he said to Li Yafei, "Prepare more fruit for the professors, so that no one will say we don't know how to treat guests."

Soon, the two left in a hurry with their entourage, leaving only a middle-aged man with a square face standing at the door, eyes downcast, seemingly in deep meditation.

This is a fairly strong Level 4 evolved human. It seems that Li Jun is determined not to let Professor Yuan leave.
