"This lab is just a small pawn in the game. The main source isn't in Hyderland. Do you understand?" Mike said cryptically after a moment of thought.Although he did not give a direct answer, Lily understood what he meant and nodded thoughtfully. "Are you saying Hyderland is just a subsidiary branch, and the headquarters is abroad?"Mike nodded. "The boss behind it is more powerful than we can ever imagine. We can't compete against him. Lily, you shouldn't dig any deeper. If you do, you might risk your life and the lives of the people around you.""That means this is all just to try and convince me not to investigate further in the lab?" Lily asked mockingly, a smile on her face."No!" Mike shook his head and said, "I want to strike a deal with you.""What deal?""Come back and work for the lab. This time, you'll be tasked with more important projects. But you shouldn't ask questions or care about what you're doing. Just concentrate on your experiments.""What do I get?" Lily was

The waiter was relieved to hear this and silently exited the booth.Lily looked at Mike with a fire burning in her eyes. "Mike Corden, how much did they give you to be their lackey?!"After all, he was someone she once regarded as a friend. Despite their different viewpoints, she would not hold a grudge against him. However, his words today angered her.Alexander was lying on the hospital bed with no guarantee of his life. The trajectory of the virus was unknown as well. Mike knew exactly what had infected Alexander and how much he was suffering right now, yet instead of visiting him, Mike came up to her, offended her, then offered such a horrible deal.With her standing up while he stayed seated, she did seem imperceptibly imposing. However, Mike remained calm.As Lily cursed at him and slammed the glass, he sat quietly. Once she was done, he raised his head to look at her with a sarcastic smile. "How much did they give me? They took away my son."Although he smiled, Lily could

"Don't interrupt me when I’m talking. What I'm saying now is very important. You shouldn't take things lightly," Dr. Morris snapped.Lily shrugged, unaffected by his attitude. It was right for him to be cautious as this plague was not a trivial matter.She studied the memos posted on the wall while waiting for him to finish talking about the rules. She had to resist the urge to yawn, and when he finally finished, she was relieved. She could finally change into her protective suit.She was eager to know how far this department's research on the plague had come and how different it was from what she had learned. She also wanted to know how far they were in their research of producing an antidote.After changing into her protective gear and disinfecting herself, Lily entered the laboratory. What she assumed to be a substantial experimental base turned out to be an empty corridor. Dr. Morris sped down the hallway, and she followed behind quietly until they reached a spacious elevator.

They re-entered another elevator. Then, the elevator began to descend again.This surprised her. She had already thought that this research base was very far underground. She didn't expect that there were any floors below. After a while, the elevator finally stopped. Dr. Blanc walked out, followed by Lily, then Dr. Morris.This floor was relatively empty. Few machines or people were around, and an uneasiness lingered in the air. After taking a few steps forward, Lily could hear a faint moan. She perked up her ears, but the sound seemed to have disappeared. It was as if it was a hallucination.However, as they moved forward after being disinfected, she was sure it wasn't an auditory illusion. It was real!There weren't just groans. There were sounds of suppressed cries, coughs, and pants. These sounds didn't come from just one person. It was discomforting for anyone to hear.Afraid that she might shrink away, Dr. Blanc turned back to look at her and noticed her solemn face.

Dr. Blanc did not speak as he just stood aside and watched.Lily checked the patient's pulse before standing up and disinfecting her hands. Then she walked out of the room. Dr. Morris stared at her back doubtfully, waiting for her to speak. However, she left without saying a word.He glanced at Dr. Blanc, who didn't seem to want to question her, and pursed his lips. He then followed behind her and went to the next room quietly. They went into one room after another. There were patients of all ages here. After reading the pulses of more than a dozen people, Lily was starting to get a little tired.Dr. Blanc immediately picked up on her fatigue and asked with concern. "Do you want to take a break? I think we can wrap it up for today. We're almost done anyway."However, she shook her head. "It's okay. I'm fine!"She wanted to see a few more cases. By pooling the data from different people under similar conditions, she could form a more robust hypothesis. When she got to the nex
