I put you in charge of those rebellious female soldiers, how come they all became top special forces

Zhou Jingtang pondered for a moment, then put his reading glasses back on.

"Then let's do it, full genome sequencing, prioritize that."

Chen Zheng, who was standing not far away, heard the entire conversation clearly.

He was holding a thermos, and he probably knew what was going on.

He initially decided to bring Li Yue along partly because he genuinely wanted to get her checked out and see what was wrong with her strength.

On the other hand, they also wanted to use Li Yue's data as a stepping stone to gain more opportunities to access Lanmeng's core information.

Now it seems that Li Yue's value is even greater than he thought.

She is not just a data sample; her body itself may be the key to unlocking the mystery of Lan Meng.

The physical examination is over.

When Li Yue came out of the examination room, she was completely exhausted.

She walked unsteadily down the corridor, and when she looked up, she saw An Ran still standing by the window at the end of the corridor, waiting.

Li Yue's eyes immediately reddened, and she rushed forward, throwing herself into An Ran's arms.

"Captain! That was terrifying! They took five vials of my blood! Five vials!"

An Ran was hugged tightly by her, took a step back, and bumped her back against the wall.

"I feel like I'm not whole anymore! My blood! My muscles! My bones! They've figured everything out!"

An Ran was struggling to breathe from being choked, but she still reached out and patted her back.

"Alright, alright, he's still alive."

"But I'm missing five vials of blood, Captain! Five vials!"

An Ran smiled slightly, continued patting her back, and didn't say anything more.

When this girl gets dramatic, she's just as exaggerated as Ram.

Just then, footsteps sounded from the other end of the corridor.

Shen Ling walked over from the lab with a stack of printed data reports in her hand. She originally wanted to confirm a few parameters with Chen Zheng.

She walked to the corner of the corridor, saw Chen Zheng, and paused in her tracks.

There was a girl beside him whom she hadn't seen yesterday.

Wearing a blue hoodie and jeans, with neat short hair, she was being held by Li Yue.

Her features are very delicate, and her temperament is completely different from the people in the laboratory; she is quite capable.

Shen Ling quickly walked up to Chen Zheng and handed him the data report.

"Instructor Chen, the measured data for the buffer solution from yesterday is in, and the error between it and the theoretical value you provided is within 0.3%. Professor Zhou asked me to confirm the subsequent gradient design with you."

Chen Zheng took the report, flipped through two pages, and pointed to one of the columns.

"Tighten the temperature control of the third group by two degrees, keeping it between 35 and 37 degrees Celsius."

Shen Ling lowered her head and wrote it down in her notebook, then asked two more detailed questions, which Chen Zheng answered one by one.

After completing the data exchange, the former closed his notebook, his gaze falling on An Ran not far away, and he nodded politely.

An Ran nodded, her expression unreadable.

Shen Ling turned and left.

An Ran's gaze followed Shen Ling's ponytail for a moment, until Shen Ling's figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.

The female researcher spoke to Chen Zheng very seriously just now.

But clearly, it's not just about being serious.

Anran couldn't quite put her finger on what it was, but it just didn't feel right to look at her.

On their way back to the guesthouse, the four of them walked along the tree-lined path.

Chen Zheng walked at the front, with Keyboard beside him reporting on the data system integration progress for the day.

Li Yue and An Ran walked behind.

An Ran remained silent, walking at a moderate pace.

When they reached an intersection, she suddenly spoke.

"Is that female researcher from your lab?"

Chen Zheng didn't even turn his head: "Mm."

An Ran asked again, "What's her name?"

Chen Zheng pondered for a moment: "Shen Ling."

An Ran said "Oh" and didn't say anything more.

She walked past the keyboard and went to Chen Zheng's side, walking alongside him.

The keyboard was left behind. He exchanged a glance with Li Yue and raised an eyebrow at the same time.

……

The next day, Chen Zheng went to work in the laboratory.

An Ran stood downstairs at the guesthouse, carrying a backpack, looking completely at ease.

"I'm just killing time anyway, I'll go help you."

Chen Zheng looked her up and down, but did not refuse.

An Ran's spirits immediately lifted, she tightened the straps and strode to catch up.

Upon arriving at the laboratory, she discovered a cruel truth.

She couldn't get involved at all.

The researchers around them were discussing molecular structure, spectral data, and chromatographic peak areas.

She recognized each word, but when put together, they looked completely unfamiliar.

She found a stool in the corner of the lab, took out her phone, opened the notes app, and pretended to take notes.

Two words appeared on the screen: Notes.

Then there is no more then.

Her entire attention was focused on the lab bench.

Chen Zheng stood in front of the experimental table, discussing the implementation details of the new plan with Shen Ling.

Shen Ling is responsible for implementing the graded extraction plan that was adopted yesterday, and many operational issues need to be confirmed with Chen Zheng one by one.

The two people stood together, their heads close together, both looking at a data report.

Shen Ling occasionally turned her head to ask Chen Zheng questions.

Her tone was earnest, yet tinged with a hint of humility, just like yesterday.

Chen Zheng's answers were the same as before: few words but precise. Occasionally, he would draw a circle on the report and mark the key values.

Anran sat in the corner, her phone screen completely black, without her even noticing, her eyes fixed intently on the lab table.

Li Yue squatted down next to her and whispered something.

"Captain, your phone is dead."

An Ran snapped out of her daze and glanced down at the black screen.

"Hmm? Oh."

I pressed the power button, the screen lit up, and the memo was still on those two words.

notes.

Anran put her phone back in her pocket and continued staring at the lab bench.

Li Yue wisely shut her mouth and silently moved two steps away.

It's best not to mess with the captain in this state.

The morning has passed just like that.

An Ran sat in the corner for more than three hours, without taking a single note or saying a single useful word, spending the entire time observing Chen Zheng's interactions with the other people in the lab.

The main focus was on observing the interaction between Chen Zheng and Shen Ling.

Lunchtime at the research institute's canteen.

Chen Zheng carried his tray and found a seat by the window, sitting down opposite An Ran.

Li Yue sat next to An Ran, and Jianpan sat next to Chen Zheng.

Just two minutes after I sat down, Shen Ling came over with a tray.

She stood by the table, looked at the empty seats, and then at Chen Zheng.

"Instructor Chen, may I sit here?"

Chen Zheng picked up a piece of food, without looking up, and said, "Whatever."

Shen Ling sat down next to the keyboard, one person away from Chen Zheng.

She ate a couple of bites of rice, then put down her chopsticks and started chatting with Chen Zheng about the progress of the experiment.

"The extraction efficiency of the first group this morning was 40% higher than yesterday. The parameters you provided are indeed much better than the original plan."

Chen Zheng hummed in agreement and continued eating, while secretly harboring some doubts.

Why does this woman have so many questions?
