Zhang Lisheng's calm performance and cooperative action more or less dispelled some of the sergeants' nervousness.
"If you're really a scientist in the bunker, why didn't you inform us in advance when you come in and out?" The sergeant in charge of the duty made a suspicious sound but picked up the scanner with both of his hands to scan the face of the bald and thin Asian young man in front of him.
Very soon, the computer screen connected to the scanner confirmed Zhang Lisheng's words. The sergeant breathed a sigh of relief. "Dr. Zhang Lisheng, so you often leave the bunker for a long time. No wonder you don't know what happened." However, he still did not order his men to stop aiming. Instead, he pointed at the three girls and asked in a softer tone, "Then who are they?"
"My girlfriend and two good friends. They're students from Harvard University who came to the island for a field trip. I'm just bringing them to my lab to take a look."
"Harvard University students who came to the island for a field trip? Can you tell me their names, Dr.?" The sergeant asked in a negotiable manner but his tone did not allow for any disagreement.
"Tina Douglin …" Zhang Lisheng hurriedly reported the names of the three girls.
A few seconds later, the sergeant verified Tina, Trish, and Sheila's identities in the computer's information. He looked at the girls' faces carefully before clapping his hands and saying, "Alright guys, the alarm is lifted."
Upon hearing the chief's words, the surrounding sergeants finally put down the semi-automatic rifles in their hands. At this time, the sergeant finally explained, "I'm sorry, Dr., I think you also know that there have been vicious murder cases in the gathering place this month, and it even involves us professional soldiers.
For this reason, the rules for entering and leaving the bunker have become stricter. You should have received a notice through your communicator … "
"My communicator is lying in my lab now."
"I'm not used to having my whereabouts known by others at all times. Ha, but I'm afraid you'll have to bring it with you at all times in the future. You'll have to use it to send a notice five minutes before entering the bunker. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll encounter such things every time." The sergeant shrugged and pressed the button hidden under the office desk to activate the bunker's entrance. "Anyway, welcome back, Dr."
"Thank you, sergeant." Zhang Lisheng brought the three girls, who were still in a state of shock, into the cement room. After Sheila calmed down a little, she suddenly said with her eyes wide open, "This is so exciting! So this is how it feels to be pointed at by so many spears."
"This is not a good thing, Sheila. It's my fault for letting all of you encounter such an accident," Zhang Lisheng said as he led the girls into the bunker along the spiral staircase.
The spacious and long corridors in the bunker extended in all directions, and the lights on the ceiling were bright and soft.
When the professional soldiers who were shuttling back and forth saw the three beautiful girls appearing in the bunker, they would instinctively pay attention to them, but none of them would take the initiative to strike up a conversation.
Zhang Lisheng looked around and found a 'B67' sign on the wall. After confirming the direction, he slowly led the girls to his lab.
Compared to when it was first established, the various instruments in the laboratory had become very complete after the private addition of the young man. It did not look like it was only presided over by a graduate student at all.
"Wow, this really looks like a top biological laboratory." Reaching out her finger to touch a large 'embryo protein screening machine' placed not far from the door, Trish said with a smile. "No wonder they've already begun to call you 'Dr.', Lisheng."
"I've corrected it countless times, but after knowing that I'm temporarily presiding over Stanford's biological laboratory on the island, everyone still calls me Dr.. In the end, I thought that I'd become a real Dr. in about a year or two, so it doesn't matter if I call you that in advance.
Anyway, the drug dealers and big shots in New York don't even have the qualifications of a graduate student, so aren't they still called 'Dr.'? "Zhang Lisheng joked.
"Dr. Steven hasn't been on the island recently?" Upon hearing her boyfriend's words, Tina asked with a smile.
Zhang Lisheng took out some red seeds shaped like peas from the densely packed pockets on his body.
Flesh worms that were as soft as plasticine that were tightly entangled by the tree vines.
Strange experimental materials such as algae that were constantly twitching in a sealed special test tube were placed in different categories. Then, according to his new idea, he prepared a small new stabilizer on the basis of the original preparation. Only then did he answer, "My supervisor will come once every month or two.
She'll stay in the lab for three to four days at most to collect the experimental data, results, and inferences that I've done. After that, she'll go back to New York to watch over Dr. Effiny and do her research. "
"In that case, you're really the master of this laboratory now, baby! Looks like you're already a qualified experimental biologist! I'm really proud of you!" Patiently waiting for Zhang Lisheng to finish his work at hand, Tina praised him sincerely.
"Tina, don't add the titles' qualified 'and' experimental 'in front of the biologist title." Zhang Lisheng took out a cylindrical silver metal container from the cabinet that stored experimental materials and carefully placed it in the groove of the test bench to fix it.
Then, he gently tapped on the fingerprint reader with his right index finger. The metal container opened with a 'pak' and a gust of cold white mist came out.
The mist dissipated and the silver metal barrel spread out like petals, revealing more than ten pieces of tiny broken stars that were floating in the air supported by the air cushion, radiating a dazzling, mesmerizing and amazing brilliance. "You should praise me for being a great biologist."
"Oh my God! T-This must be the Gold Core! It looks like a bean when it's pieced together, but you didn't tell me that it's so beautiful!"
But you didn't say that it's so beautiful before. "The three girls' eyes were immediately attracted by the 'star'. After looking at it for a long time, Sheila exclaimed," Can you give me one? I want to embed it on a pendant and let all the ladies in New York scream when they see it. "
"I didn't expect that the substance inside the Gold Core would actually emit such brilliance after shattering it." Zhang Lisheng grabbed a white mouse from the automatic feeder and skillfully destroyed its brain tissue with a sharp long needle before throwing it on the test bench. Then, he carefully picked up a piece of the Gold Core fragment with a pair of tweezers. "Of course, you can have one if you want, Sheila.
But it's best to make a decision after you watch my experiment. "
As the young man was speaking, he operated the automatic injector on the test bench with one hand and injected the 'stabilizer' that he had just prepared into the mouse that had stopped breathing. Then, he used a scalpel to cut open the skin, flesh, and bones on the spine of the white mouse and clamped the Gold Core fragment with a pair of sharp-nosed pliers to make direct contact with the white spine of the mouse.
In an instant, the white mouse that was already completely dead suddenly opened its eyes. Baring its teeth, it opened its mouth wide and screeched 'squeak squeak squeak …' as its eyes gradually turned bloodshot. Its limbs that were fixed on the experiment table also began to struggle desperately.
After that, the fur on its body began to stretch and its body began to expand rapidly like a balloon being blown up. The squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak squeak.
"W-What's wrong with it, Lisheng? What the hell? Isn't this too scary?" The girls watching the experiment could not help but shout and ask.
"I've just destroyed the brain of this white mouse and cut its spinal cord. It's already in a state of brain death, but look at how lively it is now!
After being nourished and catalyzed by the Gold Core fragment, its life is transforming! "Zhang Lisheng looked at the clock on the wall nervously." It has already been 54 seconds! This is a new record! This proves that the stabilizer that I and my supervisor have prepared … "
As he was speaking, a 'pop' sound resonated. The body of the white mouse that had already turned into the size of a piglet suddenly burst into countless fragments, turning into green smoke in mid-air that emitted a foul stench before disappearing without a trace.
"Looks like my stabilizer is still not stable enough." Looking at the empty test bench, Zhang Lisheng was stunned for a while before sighing. Opening the vent, he picked up the Gold Core fragment with a pair of tweezers and placed it in front of Sheila. "It's a good thing that this little star is still shining after the experiment. Do you still want it, Sheila?"
"Take it away from my eyes, Zhang Lisheng! And you better disappear from my eyes for the time being as well! It's really, really creepy just now!" Sheila said loudly.
Zhang Lisheng shrugged and put the Gold Core fragment back into the silver metal container before resealing it and hiding it. Shrugging, he said, "Sheila, if you're a patient who's paralyzed and will have to lie in bed forever in the future, you'll be a patient who's paralyzed all over.
Or maybe a ghost who had just died and had an out-of-body experience would have other ideas after seeing the experiment just now. "
The young man's words stunned the girls for a moment. They calmed down from the shock and thought about it carefully. Only then did they realize how shocking the terrifying experiment that Zhang Lisheng had just done was in a scientific sense.
"You just resurrected the dead creature temporarily. That's not a biological phenomenon that happens after death. It's a real resurrection. That rat was screaming and struggling. Its eyes were so red that it looked like it was about to explode …"
"It's Tina. It's so loud and energetic. I thought it was a success this time, but it's still a failure.
I think a large part of the reason is that the activity of the subject is too small, but it's too dangerous to carry out such an uncontrollable experiment on a large animal … "
Looking at her boyfriend commenting on his own experiment, the girl became speechless for a long time. In the end, she said with difficulty, "Baby, in the eyes of ordinary people, 'life' is a field that only God can touch.
Of course, I know that your ancestor is also a very powerful god, and your research is indeed very amazing. I'm very willing to correct my mistakes and now, I'll call you a great biologist.
But are you sure that you won't develop something like a zombie virus and destroy the entire human race? "
"Of course not, Tina. The key 'medium' to carry out such an experiment is the Gold Core fragment, but do you know how small the probability of encountering a spiritual monster wandering around in the wild is? The thing that you're worried about will never happen."
