Watson had no idea what the G-virus was. All he knew was that the laboratory was separated into several sections, such as the changing area, the filtration area, the buffer area, the disinfection area, and the core area. They had to pass through a total of ten doors before they reached the innermost core area.
By the time the two of them entered the core area in the positive pressure protective suits, half an hour had passed. The level of security was so tight that even the knowledgeable Watson was amazed.
The two of them arrived at the second floor of the core area. The second floor was like a main control room with a variety of buttons and a large number of translucent surveillance screens on the walls. The wall of the second floor was a floor-to-ceiling observation window. Standing in front of the observation window, one could see everything in the laboratory from above.
At this time, there were already several researchers in front of the equipment collecting data. These were talents that Chen Chen had poached from all over the world. After going through a series of tests, they were finally allowed to join God's Forbidden Zone and come here.
Although some of them saw Chen Chen's arrival, they did not approach him and continued with their work.
Watson came to the window and looked into the hall of the laboratory. The first thing he saw was several guards in the same protective suits but they were armed and standing in the corner.
In addition, there were more than a dozen researchers working diligently.
Watson silently marveled at the size of the laboratory. After that, his attention was completely drawn to the row of isolation rooms on the first floor.
These isolation rooms were like a prison, arranged on the opposite wall of the hall. Looking through the opposite window, he could see all kinds of strange shapes and sizes locked inside. He could not tell what kind of creatures were being locked inside.
What were those...
Watson was a little puzzled. He thought that his eyes were playing tricks on him and quickly rubbed his eyes. Still, he saw a creature that looked like a chimpanzee in the first isolation room. The only difference was that the monster inside had four tentacles like an octopus. Not only that, but its back was full of barbs. Only one of its heads looked like a chimpanzee.
This monster was lying on the window of the isolation room, wriggling up and down, making a sticky mess out of the window.
The second isolation room was even weirder. The creature inside was completely a pool of soft mud, just like the Sludge Monster. The only difference was that its body was densely covered with large and small spherical objects. These small balls floated up and down inside the Sludge Monster's body, sometimes disappearing, sometimes appearing, and the small balls were constantly moving.
Seeing this, Watson suddenly came to a realization. Those little balls were actually eyeballs. These little balls were the eyes of the Silt Monster!
In the third and fourth compartments, there were also similar monsters. Some of them had the shadow of apes and monkeys on them, and some of them were completely indistinguishable.
At this point, Watson turned around and glanced at Chen Chen beside him. He could not help but ask, "What kind of creature is this? Genetic synthesis or extraterrestrial life?"
"If I said that they became like this because they were infected with the G-virus, would you believe me?"
Chen Chen shrugged and asked rhetorically.
"…"
Watson fell silent. Should he believe it or not?
With such a grand lineup, there was no reason for Chen Chen to lie to him. However, the biological knowledge he had accumulated over the years told him that this was impossible.
Yes, the virus could change the DNA of living things, but this kind of change was like a silent nourishment. Who knew how many years it would take for the slightest change to occur. However, these monsters in front of him, it would be more convincing to say that they came from hell.
"That's the truth."
Chen Chen smiled. With a wave of his hand, a translucent screen appeared out of thin air in front of him. After that, Chen Chen swiped on it and the text on the screen began to scroll.
"This is..."
Watson was taken aback for a moment, then it dawned on him. This thing that resembled something out of a sci-fi movie must be the famous HP3D Simulator.
After that, he looked at the wall again. It turned out that the translucent monitoring screen on the wall was also a holographic screen. He had thought that it was a new kind of screen.
However, this thought only flashed by for a second. In the next second, his attention was drawn to the densely packed data on the screen.
"This is..."
Watson was completely engrossed in it. When he finished reading this page, he subconsciously raised his hand and swiped on the screen. The screen immediately scrolled down and displayed a new page like an e-book.
This information was about the previous life of the G-virus, including genetic sequences and various experimental data reports.
According to the information, the so-called G-virus turned out to be a variant of the Ebola virus and the Blacklight virus. It was catalyzed by a special polymer compound to finally form a super virus.
"The G-virus has the ability to recombine the host's DNA. It is currently known that any carbon-based life form can be infected by the G-virus, including plants."
Chen Chen explained from the side, "There are currently three branches of the G-virus, which are enhanced transmissibility, variability, and proliferation. Among them, the highly transmissive G-virus is even more contagious than the most contagious Spanish flu virus in history. Upon infection, a new life form will be born. This new life form will kill the original host and take over the host's body.
"As you can see, the G-virus with high variability is its masterpiece in those isolation rooms.
"The most amazing is the last G-virus model that has the ability to proliferate."
Chen Chen reminded, "This type of G-virus can greatly alter the form of the host and at the same time, cause the host to grow larger. However, this phenomenon is reversible..."
"What?"
Watson was even more shocked, and he hurriedly scrolled up the information. "How is this possible …"
"I don't believe it's possible either."
Chen Chen smiled. "That's why you're here, Sir Watson."
With that, Chen Chen took out a contract and placed it in front of Watson. "Sir Watson, you've joined Blacklight Biotechnology, so I sincerely invite you to join God's Forbidden Zone. The path of human civilization's evolution requires an outstanding talent like you."
When Watson heard this, he could only temporarily shift his gaze away from the information. He picked up the contract that was more than ten pages thick, flipped through it twice, and signed it without hesitation.
"Wonderful!"
Chen Chen immediately laughed heartily. "Sir Watson, after undergoing the age-reversal treatment, not only has your physical age become younger, even your mental age has become younger. I'm sure it's difficult for anyone to sign such a decisive contract, right?"
"Is there a difference?"
Watson shook his head and said solemnly, "When I came to this confidential laboratory and saw these viruses, I had no other choice, am I right?"
"That's true."
Chen Chen looked at the time, then turned around and walked out while waving his hand. "Sir Watson, I've granted you supervisory authority. The BSL-5 (Level 5 biosafety) laboratory project will be handed over to you. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or the main control computer of the 'Spire', X-111. I hope you'll be able to supplement your knowledge of the G-virus as soon as possible and do the work yourself..."
With that, as the airtight door opened, Chen Chen's figure disappeared from the room on the second floor, leaving Watson behind with a conflicted expression.
...
With such a top scientist joining the G-virus research, Chen Chen felt a lot more at ease.
The reason why Watson was brought to the Spire before joining God's Forbidden Zone was because Chen Chen had inserted a new version of the God chip into Watson's body when he was performing the surgery.
Therefore, strictly speaking, Watson was already considered a reserve member of God's Forbidden Zone. Moreover, so what if Watson did not agree? Chen Chen would find a way to make him agree sooner or later.
After leaving the laboratory, Chen Chen took the elevator to the top of the Spire, which was the room where the teleportation room was located.
There was a Gantz black sphere in the teleportation room that could directly transport Chen Chen to another room on the surface.
This teleportation room was similar to the underground port that connected the Atlantic Ocean. It was a setup that was used as a precaution. Only a handful of people knew about it. When Elon Musk visited, Chen Chen had used it to secretly install the chip in his brain.
At this time, Chen Chen arrived in this pure white room. As the black sphere in front of him shot out a blue light, Chen Chen felt his vision blur. When the black sphere retracted the blue light, although the environment in front of him had not changed, he had in fact returned from the underground teleportation room to the teleportation room on the surface.
When Chen Chen entered the elevator again, when the elevator door opened, he was already in the hall on the first floor of an office building in Eco Science City.
"Sir Godfather, I have good news."
At this moment, Little X's voice suddenly came from the Bluetooth headset. "There's news from the Disciple Council. The White House has agreed to our request. As long as we can solve This Man phenomenon, they're willing to sign a 'Mutual Sanctions Cessation Agreement' with us."
"What about the contents of the agreement? Did they make any changes to the terms we proposed?"
Chen Chen immediately asked.
"They made a lot of changes and added a few more. Also, they set the agreement to be valid for ten years."
Little X replied.
"Could there be any loopholes?"
Chen Chen was a little worried. "Let me see the draft."
"Okay."
After Little X agreed, a draft was sent to Chen Chen's phone.
Chen Chen sat on the sofa in the lobby of the office building and silently swiped the screen to analyze it.
However, it was this casual action of his that was noticed by a Chinese girl at the front desk in the lobby.
The girl was the receptionist of this office building. After accidentally seeing Chen Chen, she first stared at Chen Chen's face for a long time, then suddenly turned on her phone as if she was searching for something.
When she found a photo on the Internet and compared it with Chen Chen, who was not far away, the girl suddenly showed a shocked expression. However, in the next second, she hurriedly opened her handbag, took out a makeup mirror, and looked at her face.
It seemed that she was not satisfied with her current makeup. She took out her lipstick and quickly applied it twice. After that, she pursed her lips to make the color more even. Only then did she take out a disposable paper cup and some tea leaves and poured a cup of fragrant tea.
"Lin, there's coffee here. How do you make tea?"
The black colleague next to her noticed her actions and asked curiously.
However, at this time, the girl completely ignored her colleague's thoughts. She walked to Chen Chen with the teacup in the most graceful manner she had in her life and placed the tea on the coffee table in front of Chen Chen.
"Sir, please have some tea..."
The girl spoke in an extremely soft and gentle voice. There was a slight tremor in her voice due to nervousness.
"Thank you."
Chen Chen raised his head slightly and thanked the girl, then returned his gaze to the phone again without any reluctance.
"You're welcome..."
The girl whispered. When she saw that Chen Chen's gaze did not linger on her, there was an uncontrollable trace of disappointment in her expression, but she could only return to the front desk dejectedly.
"Who's that man? He doesn't look like he works here?"
Seeing that the girl had returned, her colleague immediately tugged at the corner of the girl's clothes and asked in a low voice, "He's from Mainland China. Do you know him? Which company's boss is he from? "
"Of, of course not, I, I'm just doing my job..."
The girl hurriedly retorted, stammering. Although she said so, her eyes could not help but look in Chen Chen's direction.
"Really?"
The black girl looked at her companion suspiciously. After a long time, she stopped paying attention.
Unbeknownst to her, Chen Chen had long been aware of every move of the two.
However, he did not take this matter to heart, treating it as a small interlude in his daily life. At this time, Chen Chen refocused his attention on the draft of the agreement.
By mutual sanctions, Northern America must stop imposing military and economic sanctions on Blacklight Biotechnology. In return, Blacklight Biotechnology must stop imposing sanctions on Northern America against Blacklight Biotechnology. At the same time, Blacklight Biotechnology must also stop imposing sanctions on Northern America against Blacklight Biotechnology. At the same time, the clinical trials of the three targeted drugs that were previously terminated must be resumed.
The time limit given by Northern America for this agreement was ten years.
"The other party is only willing to sign the agreement for ten years at most."
Little X said, "As for the other contents of the agreement, I haven't found any loopholes for now."
"I've also looked through it. Although Northern America changed some of the terms of the agreement, it doesn't affect us much."
Chen Chen nodded. "The only thing that can be manipulated is this ten-year time limit. Maybe they think they can only give us ten years at most to prevent us from growing too strong."
Seeing the time limit on the draft of the Mutual Sanctions Cessation Agreement, the corner of Chen Chen's mouth curled up slightly.
So what if it was only ten years?
Northern America might be planning to settle the score with him ten years later, but ten years later, would he still be afraid of Northern America?
It had only been four years since he obtained the USB drive and it had only been three years since he came to Africa. In just three years, Blacklight Biotechnology had developed earth-shattering. Given another ten years, what would it be like?
Chen Chen was looking forward to it...
