Chapter 36 Yuanzhi 011
"I guess you two already know each other. Let me introduce you." Lin Xuan glanced at the short and fat man and Hua Si, then stepped aside to make room for the young man next to her. "This is researcher Xiao Li. I originally asked him to pick you up, but Lao Zhang took the initiative to go."

At this point, Lin Xuan hesitated to speak.

It seemed that she really wanted to ask Huasi whether Lao Zhang had done anything to her.
Hua seemed to understand.

She immediately climbed onto Lin Xuan's arm and pointed at Lao Zhang and complained, "Sister, is he really a serious researcher? As soon as he got on the elevator, he said he wanted to touch my hand to feel it. I was so scared at the time!"

Lao Zhang: "..."

Are you so reserved and introverted about your fear?
I can't tell at all!

And weren’t they getting along well just now? Where did your fear go then?
Lao Zhang felt wronged: "I just..."

Without waiting for Lao Zhang to explain, Lin Xuan patted her flower-like hands to comfort him: "Lao Zhang has no ill intentions. He is an evolver in energy perception. He is just curious about you. The closer to the underground, the more severe the energy suppression for evolvers. That's why he wanted to shake hands with you in the elevator to feel it."

The flower seemed to have a look of sudden enlightenment.

"So that's how it is! That's what I told you!" She patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Huasi's body relaxed, Lin Xuan couldn't help but say:
"Old Zhang, 7077 is still young and not very courageous. Even if you are devoted to research, you have to consider the girl's feelings. Also, your clothes are too unkempt. It's like you just got out of bed."

Lao Zhang: "..."

The little girl opened her mouth and asked to eat dragon eggs.

How can you be so timid?

And didn’t he just button two buttons wrong?
This little episode passed quickly, and Lin Xuan walked with Hua Si while asking her about the sequelae of VXⅢ.

"Does your back still hurt?"

I thought about the medicine that was stuffed into the little bear's pocket and I hadn't taken it since I entered the prison. I was not sure whether there would be a mechanical prison guard room after I left the cell, and whether there would be any records of these.

Hua Si had no choice but to say, "It still hurts a little, but I don't want to rely too much on medication, and I also want to exercise myself, so I stopped taking medication."

In an instant, the three people's gazes became different.

How long had it been since she was exposed to the neurotoxin VXIII?
She stopped taking painkillers so quickly. Even a C-level evolver might not be as quick as her!

"So are you okay now?"

Researcher Li, who had been silent the whole time, looked at Huasi worriedly. His concerned eyes seemed as if she would soon die.

The looks from the other two weren't much better either.

They all seem to care very much about the flower-like body.

Hua Si nodded: "I'm fine. If God wants to give a man a great responsibility, he must first make his mind and body suffer. In order to become a powerful evolver in the future, my current suffering is nothing."

I feel that I will become famous overnight.

Hua seems to be planning to lay the groundwork for these people first.

But the other three looked at her as if she was mentally retarded.

"7077, if you become an evolver, as long as you can endure the pain, parents won't have to send their children to school. They can just beat their children at home every day. The Awakening Day doesn't need to be called the Awakening Day, it should be called the Beating Day instead!"

Obviously, Lao Zhang was dissatisfied with Huasi's previous complaint, and his tone was not very good.

Although researcher Xiao Li also thought that Hua Si's words were nonsense, he didn't want to discourage her too much, so he smiled and said, "Who didn't have some middle school dreams when they were young? Uncle Zhang, didn't you dream of becoming a strong man who could save the world when you were a child?"

Lin Xuan also nodded, with a cold and expressionless face: "Well, I have dreamed since I was a child that I would stand alone in front of all living beings, saving them from the water and fire of the world again and again, without end."

Lao Zhang: "..."

Xiao Li: "..."

Huasi: “!!!”

Which decent person would have such a dream since childhood!? Hua Si didn't understand, but she was very touched. At least if the sky fell, Lin Xuan would hold it up.

She is indeed a good person!

"Before starting the experimental project, you have to sign a confidentiality agreement." Lin Xuan was like a knight who was leaving after doing something. After saying that, he walked straight towards the office.

There is absolutely no intention to continue the discussion.

After walking through a not-so-long corridor and turning right, they arrived at an office. Lin Xuan handed Hua Si the confidentiality agreement that had been prepared on the table.

After reading it quickly, she found that although there were many requirements and clauses, in summary, they were actually about the content of the experimental project, and she could not mention a single word.

If the agreement is violated, not only will the parties have to pay five times the experimental remuneration in Alliance Coins, but they will also be sued by the project team for leaking confidential information.

After signing the confidentiality agreement, Hua Si was taken to the door of the laboratory. After her identity was confirmed at the access control station, the white wall retreated silently to one side like a water curtain.

In addition to various experimental instruments, there are also more glass covers and white coats.

However, the things in the glass cover are alive.

"This is a special research site for supernatural beings. Among the many supernatural beings research projects, the research on Source Plant 011 is the top priority of the supernatural beings research team."

Huasi looked at the creatures in the glass cover, all of which looked very familiar, without expressing any opinion.

Following the others along the corridor at the edge of the work area, they came to an alloy door at the end. While verifying her identity, Lin Xuan continued to speak to Hua Si:
"Neurotoxin VXⅢ is extracted from the source plant 011. This plant is very dangerous. It looks like an ordinary fern, but 011 is widely distributed in the peaceful battlefield. If you don't prepare a detector, it will be easy for the evolvers to be infected without knowing it."

After Lao Zhang and Xiao Li verified their identities one after another, Lin Xuan pointed at the ID card on Hua Si's chest.

"Your identity has been entered. You can scan your face or your badge."

After scanning her face, Hua Si saw a line of small words under the words "Verification Passed" - Movable Property of Laboratory No. 901.

In response, Hua Si said that as long as she was not marked as a guinea pig and the promised Alliance Coins were in place, she would accept them with a smile.

The alloy gate opened and the sensor light automatically lit up, but the view was still obstructed because there was another door inside.

As the four people entered, the alloy gate fell, and Lao Zhang and Xiao Li picked up the protective clothing from the side.

Lin Xuan handed Hua Si one too, "Put it on first."

The four of them put on their protective suits and walked through the door. Their eyes were instantly attracted by the giant glass cover in the center.

The glass cover is 10m high and 15m in diameter. Above the glass cover is a pipe that leads to an unknown destination. Inside the large glass cover, there are four or five small glass covers stacked on top of each other.

The flower seemed to glance at the smallest plant in the glass cover.

Well, she really knew him again!

The brown-green plants in the glass cover do look very similar to the ferns in this world. The only difference may be the method of reproduction.

At this time, Lin Xuan also introduced the plants in the glass cover to Hua Si.

"This is Source Plant 011. It looks almost exactly like a fern. However, most ferns have sporangia on their leaves. Source Plant 011 also has something similar, but it does not contain spores. Instead, it secretes an oily substance."

"Once this substance comes into contact with oxygen, it will undergo a chemical reaction and turn into a gas that is colorless, odorless, and difficult to evaporate. However, our experimental device can monitor and control the gas concentration in real time. It has also undergone a large number of animal experiments and a thorough risk assessment for human experiments."

Lin Xuan patted her flower-like shoulders and promised earnestly: "So, don't be afraid when you go in later. We will definitely ensure your safety."

The flowers seem silent.

Even though I know I'm a guinea pig.

But isn’t this role entered too quickly?
I feel a little sorry for myself.
