Yin Shixiong had just inserted an extremely thin needle into the tip of the oil-paper umbrella.
The center of the fine steel needle was hollow, and contained a highly toxic substance specially developed by the Imperial military.
Oda Masao was at the height of his excitement. The slight chill on his calf was lighter than a mosquito bite, but he didn't care at all. His short stature spun around and had already jumped to the other side of the cherry blossom tree.
Yin Shixiong chuckled and turned a few rounds with the dancing crowd. He held his umbrella as he made way for them and headed out of the main road.
He could tell that Oda Masao was surrounded by several secret service agents who were secretly protecting him.
However, everyone was immersed in the beauty of the cherry blossom rain. Moreover, Oda Masao's identity had been hidden very well for so many years. The secret service personnel had no idea that someone had already made a move against him.
There were many people going in and out of Shinjuku Gyo-en. Yin Shixiong quickly followed the crowd out of Shinjuku Gyo-en and headed directly to Tokyo Imperial University Hospital to meet up with Huo Shaoheng.
Huo Shaoheng had already turned around and returned to Oda Masao's laboratory. He burned all the documents and data to ashes, and finally installed a flame bomb in the laboratory that could cause a large fire at any time.
Zhao Liangze watched from the other side of the surveillance camera. His expression grew even more solemn. He silently erased all the images and directly uploaded a computer virus to the Tokyo Imperial University Hospital's intranet.
When the Tokyo Imperial University Hospital's intranet administrators realized something was wrong and activated emergency measures, the computer virus would immediately spread to the entire intranet and automatically erase countless confidential data stored in their systems.
When Yin Shixiong hurried over, Huo Shaoheng had just walked out of the Tokyo Imperial University Hospital's main entrance.
The two of them greeted each other but didn't speak. They got into a taxi one after the other and sped towards Tokyo International Airport.
Zhao Liangze, who was in charge of the airport dispatching, had already connected to the Imperial civil aviation line.
This was an Imperial civil aviation flight, so they didn't have to go through so many security checks when boarding the plane.
When Huo Shaoheng and Yin Shixiong arrived, Zhao Liangze immediately led them to hand Huo Shaoheng's backpack to the civil aviation operator so that the test tube sample could be taken out.
Huo Shaoheng and the other two showed their Imperial Civil Aviation boarding passes at the boarding gate. They didn't have much luggage, so after passing the airport security check, they led Zhao Liangze and Yin Shixiong to the VIP passage without looking around.
"This way, please." The receptionist of the civil airliner of the Imperium stood at the door of the cabin courteously and welcomed them in with a smile. Then, they were arranged to stay in an exclusive room in the first-class cabin that was completely separated from the other first-class passengers.
The Empire's commercial plane quickly took off and circled half a circle above Tokyo before flying toward the Empire's C City International Airport.
Just as they flew back to the airspace of the Empire, an earth-shattering explosion suddenly rang out from a seemingly ordinary laboratory in the Tokyo Imperial University Hospital in Japan. A huge cluster of flames emerged from the window of the laboratory, causing chaos in the laboratory. Following that, the resulting fire burned everything inside to nothingness.
However, the people in the laboratory had no time to put out the fire.
Half an hour before the fire, their instructor, Oda Masao, the most secretive officer in the Japanese military, had a heart attack while looking at the cherry blossoms. He was already on his way to the hospital.
…
Huo Shaoheng closed his eyes and leaned against the soft seat in the first-class cabin. He hugged his arms and dozed off.
Zhao Liangze was constantly monitoring the news on the Japanese intranet.
Soon after, the explosion and fire at the Tokyo Imperial University Hospital appeared on the headlines of the Asahi Shimbun website. Along with the news of the laboratory fire, the owner of the laboratory, Oda Masao, had been too excited while looking at the cherry blossoms and suddenly died of a heart attack.
Zhao Liangze snapped his fingers and smiled at Huo Shaoheng, who was resting with his eyes closed. "Huo Shao, it's all done."
Huo Shaoheng opened his eyes and glanced at him.
Zhao Liangze quickly placed his small tablet under Huo Shaoheng's eyelids. "Please take a look …"
Huo Shaoheng looked down at the headlines on the website. His expression did not change. He closed his eyes and continued to doze off.
Oda Masao deserved to die, but what about Gu Nianzhi? Would there be any negative consequences?
All the original data he had sent back, as well as the original strain of the virus he was bringing back this time, would allow Chen Lie to develop a vaccine.
What would happen if they could not develop a vaccine in time?
Huo Shaoheng's brain automatically blocked out that possibility.
Chen Lie had been in a bad mood ever since he received the call.
He wiped the sweat from his forehead and spent the night studying all the data he had sent back. He used a translation software to automatically translate it into the language of the Empire and saved copies everywhere.
The data that Huo Shaoheng had brought back was very detailed and systematic. Not only did it contain the analysis of the various biochemical components of the virus, but it also contained the reproducible cultivation process.
If he had really published all of it, top academic journals like Science and Nature would not have been enough. At the very least, it would have been published in Cell. It might even have been nominated for a Nobel Prize.
But Oda Masao had not published it. He had kept it in a safe in his laboratory.
As a true scientist, his behavior was abnormal.
But what if he was not a true scientist?
Chen Lie shuddered a little. He worked all night in his office before going through all the reaction data and comparative analysis.
Because of Gu Nianzhi, Chen Lie did not read every single word in detail. He only looked at the reaction data after the incident.
This was because he had recorded Gu Nianzhi's reaction data in detail after she had been infected. He had even done a full set of blood tests.
His expression became strange again when he compared it to the others.
Gu Nianzhi's subsequent reaction data was completely different from the reaction data that Oda Masao had recorded.
According to Oda Masao's records, women who had been infected with the virus could indeed get relief after having sex with a man. However, their various vital signs had already been severely weakened.
The most prominent point was that the function of their hematopoietic organs would be severely damaged. They would then progress from anemia to severe anemia, which would lead to a series of complications and finally death from various organ failure diseases.
From the data that he had recorded, Gu Nianzhi's hematopoietic system had not weakened at all.
Could it be that he had not observed it for long enough?
That didn't seem right either …
Oda Masao's data showed that it had weakened within a week.
Chen Lie pushed open the door to his office uneasily. He wanted to go out for breakfast.
In the hallway, several doctors were huddled together, whispering to each other.
Seeing him come out, Ye Zitan immediately called out to him. "Dr. Chen, that Oda Masao that you admired so much suddenly died of a heart attack. His laboratory at Tokyo Imperial University Hospital also suddenly caught fire and was destroyed."
"Oh? That bastard Oda Masao really died?! "Chen Lie was overjoyed. This news was a blessing in disguise!
He leaned over to look at the news on the tablet with them. When he saw that Oda Masao's laboratory had also been burned down, Chen Lie immediately understood who had done this.
He laughed out loud, then heard his phone ring. Seeing that it was Huo Shaoheng calling, Chen Lie was instantly elated. He asked as he walked, "Huo Shao, where are you?"
