People are in the Ark, and they become Gray Shu at the beginning

As for why it is not carried out in the laboratory, we have to mention the issue of volunteer compliance.

The infected volunteers for this clinical trial were not recruited by Mebius through procedures in the name of Rhine Life, but were suitable candidates that she found privately.

There are two reasons why Mebius did not follow the formal procedures. The first is because it was too slow... By the time Rhine Life completed a set of procedures, the opportunity was already lost.

The second reason is that if she follows the formal procedures, she needs to record the experimental process and write a report. She doesn't want to expose what she has studied and the extent of her research for the time being.

So after comprehensive consideration, Mebius gave up the formal procedures and went straight to a private transaction.

Although she hated the old goat Ahrendts Parvis, she had to admit that money could easily recruit a large number of poor "volunteers".

However, the more this happens, the easier it is to highlight the differences between people...

ps: I'm done sleeping. I'll be back tomorrow with full health and update twice a day. I'll keep my word! If I don't update twice a day, I'll be sorry for this recommendation...

Chapter 101: Confrontation in the General Office

When Sakura left Rhine Life and went out to complete the task assigned by Mebius, Saria also successfully found Arents Parvez who had just bandaged his wound.

"Why are you looking at me with such a scary look, Director Saria? Is there something wrong?"

Seeing that Saria obviously had bad intentions, Ahrendts gently adjusted his glasses and asked with a smile.

"Next, stop the original treatment plan for Ifrit! With the authority of the Chief of the Defense Department, I request the Structural Department to adjust the treatment plan and resubmit it to the Defense Department for re-evaluation."

Facing the smiling and amiable Ahrendts, Saria frowned and spoke in a serious tone.

"Director Saria, are you trying to violate the rules and interfere with other departments' projects? I protest! Your request is too unreasonable!"

Although he knew that Saria had come with bad intentions this time, Ahrendts obviously did not expect the person in front of him to be so disrespectful right from the start, and his face turned grim for a moment.

"Ifrit's Originium skills are already much stronger than previously estimated. If we continue like this, the tragedy at Hayden's laboratory will only happen again!"

"What's more, because of this treatment, Ifrit's physical condition has rapidly deteriorated!"

After hearing what Ahrendts said, Saria, who was already furious, also spoke with a hint of severity.

"I'm very sorry about this. But the more this happens, the more we can't stop the treatment."

"Or is it that, after Ifrit lost her value for investigation, her life or death is no longer important in the eyes of Director Saria?"

Looking at the tough Saria in front of him, Ahrendts's face darkened completely, his tone became tough, and he refuted word by word.

After a brief moment of toughness, Ahrendts' tone suddenly softened and he said:

"The judgment of the strength of Originium skills is the responsibility of the Structure Department. Before this, I always thought that this matter was under the responsibility of the Structure Department.

"I didn't expect such an accident to happen."

"Instead of blaming me here, Director Saria should conduct a thorough investigation and find out who secretly injected Ifrit with the unknown drug... After all, this is the only variable in this experiment."

Upon hearing this, Saria was stunned, but she quickly came to her senses and replied, "Of course, I will investigate this matter thoroughly."

rotten

"However, if the Structural Department can no longer be responsible for the safety of the patient and Rhine's life, the Defense Department will replace Ifrit with a more appropriate treatment institution."

"..."

After hearing what Saria said, Ahrendts narrowed his eyes, was silent for a while, and then continued: "Director Saria, at the beginning of the treatment, I expressed that this was an adventure. For this reason, I specifically applied to the General Administrator for permission for experimental treatment."

"But if your intervention makes it impossible for the Structural Engineering Department to carry out the treatment according to the established plan, the Structural Engineering Department will no longer be able to bear all the consequences alone, so this needs to be reported to the General Administration for approval."

"If you insist, then we'll let her decide."

"Ah-"

After hearing such an answer and a familiar name from Arents Parvis, Saria couldn't help but clench her fists.

"All right……"

"Then without further ado, please."

After saying this, Ahrendts did not stay any longer and turned to walk out.

And Saria followed with a stern face, and then the two of them took the elevator to the general manager's office together.

……

Standing in the elevator, Saria couldn't help but recall the time when she and Kristen Wright had just made a name for themselves in the scientific community of Columbia...

At that time, both she and Kristen Wright were just newcomers in the scientific community who had just graduated and had dreams and expectations for the future.

Christen Wright wanted to create Rhine Life because of her dreams and wishes, and Saria made an agreement with her to work together because of her recognition and support.

But now...

Out of trust and emotion, Saria was actually unwilling to think deeply about it, and even less willing to admit... She didn't want to admit that her best friend, Kristen Wright, had begun to slowly deviate from her original intention at some point...

Otherwise, she would not have protected Christen Wright and her hard work [Rhine Life] as always for so many years.

However, this time, what happened in Ifrit and Hayden's laboratory was like a heavy punch to Saria's face, shattering the glimmer of luck in her heart... and even caused a crack in her trust in her best friend.

"Ding--"

With the sound of the elevator arriving, Saria quickly gathered her thoughts and, together with Ahrendts Parvis, stepped into the office where she had not seen anyone for some time.

"Commander-in-Chief, we're here."

Unlike Saria who was silent at the moment, Ahrendts gently adjusted his glasses and spoke first to say hello.

At this moment, after hearing Ahrendts' words, the blonde woman standing in front of the desk with her back to the two of them turned around quickly. After seeing Saria, she slowly raised the corners of her lips, with a hint of joy in her eyes, and said: "Saria, long time no see, how are you recently?"

"Thank you for your care, Commander."

Noticing her best friend's expression, Saria's eyes flashed with complexity, and then she said coldly.

"..."

And Saria's distant address successfully made Christen, who was originally smiling, instantly restore the image of an iceberg in the eyes of others.

She took a deep look at Saria, then slowly sat back in her office chair, closed her eyes, and asked calmly, "Is there anything I can do for you two?"

"The situation is like this..."

After Christen asked, Ahrendts Parvis next to her began to tell what had happened in the Structural Department before.

……

"I understand."

After listening to Arents Parvis's entire narration, Kristen also stopped the pen in her hand and said, "Director Saria, do you have any objection to what Director Parvis just said?"

"No."

Facing the question from the person in front of her, Saria looked him in the eye and gave her answer.

Although the incident was not narrated by her, there was nothing wrong with what Ahrendts had just described, and there was no bias.

"Is this so..."

Hearing this, Christen put his hand on his chin, thought for a moment, and then told Saria his judgment word by word.

"Then I don't think the treatment needs to stop."

ps: Although Sai's "ex-wife" is a bad woman, but... but they are really good. Compared with senior (Sai) x junior (He), I still like this more.

Chapter 102 Saria's Disappointment

"Then I don't think the treatment needs to stop."

After hearing what Christen said, Saria frowned and hurriedly explained: "I am not asking for a complete stop to the treatment, but the treatment plan should be re-formulated and evaluated based on safety considerations."

"Really? Then let me confirm again. Director Parvez said that the patient's condition had definitely improved before he was injected with that unknown drug. Do you have any objection to this?"

smell

Christen raised her eyes to look at Saria and asked in a calm tone.

"No."

Faced with this inquiry, Saria still answered honestly.

"..."

After hearing Saria's answer this time, Christen supported her chin with her hand, closed her eyes, and fell into a brief silence.

After a while, she stood up with her hands on the table and said to the person in front of her:

"Sareya, we are gathered here because we all denounce the stagnation of the Colombian scientific community and hate those corrupt people who hold the power of speech but prevent others from moving forward."

"You haven't forgotten this, have you?"

After saying that, Kristen opened her eyes and confronted the person in front of her.

At this moment, Saria did not shy away from the criticism. She looked directly into her friend's eyes and responded seriously: "The so-called scientific spirit requires the courage to boldly pursue the truth, but also a rigorous argumentation process."

"You haven't forgotten this, have you?"

Saria couldn't help but raise her voice when she said the last sentence, which also made Kristen's face darken for a moment.

Then, without paying attention to her best friend's expression, Saria continued, "What's more, there is now evidence that the accident at Hayden Pharmaceuticals Laboratory No. 1 was caused by Ifrit."

"This matter concerns the life and safety of all employees of Ifrit and Rhine Life, so of course we should act with caution!"

"Sareya..."

After listening to Saria's remarks, Kristen's expression softened and she said calmly, "I remember you always said that we shouldn't let our emotions affect our rational judgment."

"My judgment is based on reason." When Christen brought up the old story, Saria retorted directly.

"..."

Looking at Saria who was obviously suppressing her anger but pretending to be calm, Kristen gently stroked her chin and changed the subject, asking:

"Really? Is there any evidence that Ifrit's loss of control in Hayden's laboratory was caused by experimental behavioral stimulation?"

"What if her loss of control is caused by the worsening of her oripathy? Then Director Parvez's treatment is precisely to reduce the probability of loss of control... Moreover, this experiment also has unplanned factors, right?"

"This is just your guess!"

After hearing Saria's rebuttal, Kristen curled her lips slightly and said:

"That's right. These are all speculations, so we need to continue to verify them. Moreover, the patient's condition should be bad now, so the treatment should continue."

"Moreover, you personally participated in the design of the headquarters' security system. With you in charge here, even if Ifrit's Originium skills really go out of control on a large scale, you will definitely be able to handle it..."

"Right?"

Looking at Christen who was smiling in front of her, Saria frowned deeply and raised her voice a few notches.

"Of course! But we can't gamble with the lives of our patients and staff!"

"That shouldn't have happened at all!"

However, before Christen could speak again, Ahrendts, who had been standing quietly beside her, spoke first: "Director Saria, please believe that we are not completely unprepared for this."

After hearing Ahrendts's quick words, Christen said to Saria again: "As for Director Parvis' complaint that Director Saria wanted to exceed her authority and interfere in the internal projects of the Structural Department..."

……

"..."

Saria looked at the two people in front of her who were about to settle the matter in unison, and fell into silence. At the same time, she slowly lowered her eyes to block out the disappointment that flashed across her eyes.

Now, she no longer had any desire to continue watching this farce. After all, under the current circumstances, her staying here would not have any impact on Kristen Wright's decision or the final result.

However, just as Saria was about to turn around and leave, Kristen's last words just fell, and her eyes fell on her again.

"Director Saria, can you accept this result?"

"..."

This time, in response to Kristen's question, Saria did not give any answer, but quietly met the gaze of the person in front of her with her eyes full of disapproval.

"..."

After making eye contact with Saria, Christen suddenly felt a flash of panic in her heart. Then she picked up the envelope on the table with two fingers and said to the person in front of her as if to change the subject:

"By the way, here's the thank-you letter from the mayor. The mission was completed very well. This is all thanks to you."

"The rescue was not successful. There are many doubts. I'm afraid there is still a lot of investigation to be done." Although she knew that Christen was trying to change the subject, Saria finally spoke up and answered.

"Besides, it is very likely that the Hayden Laboratory conducted illegal experiments. It is not the time to talk about the credit yet."

"Muerseth has already reported to me, but the mayor's only request is for rescue." After hearing what Saria said, Christen raised her head slightly and said in a calm tone.

Although it was not stated clearly, the meaning between the words was self-evident.
