Chapter 37

"Stelle" waved her hand in front of her, and seeing no reaction, poked her face; there was still no reaction.

Himeko spoke up:

"She's gone offline. Only when she comes back online is this puppet equivalent to Herta herself."

"Stelle" nodded and continued to study Herta's body.

Inside the footage, Luo Luo Bote strained his face to avoid showing an uncomposed expression.

If you transplanted cold-resistant genes into tropical plants, transplanted the scent of photinia into roses, or made fish talk, others could still argue a few points for you...

Besides proving one's superb technical skills and incidentally disgusting others, what other use was there in creating cold-resistant mosquitoes...

As for the Supreme Commander, his voice was already trembling; he was clearly furious.

After a series of sounds of cups being smashed, the Supreme Commander asked:

"Which department does that researcher work in?"

The Chief Science Officer replied:

"He has already gone to the East to dig potatoes."

The Supreme Commander was very satisfied with the Chief Science Officer's handling method:

"Very good. Once he has transplanted the 'digs potatoes automatically without supervision' gene into himself, he can come back."

Next, Dr. White and the others discussed methods for efficient mosquito extermination for a while.

During this, Dr. White repeatedly confirmed with the Chief Science Officer that the researcher had not transplanted insecticide-resistance genes into these mosquitoes.

Finally, it was decided to implement large-scale mosquito extermination throughout the city.

At the same time, Luo Luo Bote's mission was updated.

He now needed to go all out to investigate the origin of the virus, and during this process, the Alliance would share the latest intelligence with him in real-time.

After Luo Luo Bote accepted this mission, he was asked to leave the conference room.

Inside the conference room, only Dr. White and the Supreme Commander remained online.

Dr. White:

"According to the test just now, the researcher reported that 'Containment-500' can completely cure terminal-stage infected patients of 'Containment-008'. Currently, the infected patient has recovered as before, but we will continue to monitor for a period of time."

"However, there is only a very small stock of 'Containment-500' in the entire Foundation. I will propose to the O5 Council and the Administrator to mass-produce a degraded replica of 'Containment-500'."

"At the same time, the Foundation will authorize the use of 'Containment-427' to treat 'Containment-008' infected patients. The document records the side effects it will cause."

Supreme Commander:

"The Alliance will not forget the contribution the Foundation has made in this disaster. Afterward, both sides can strengthen exchanges."

This meant that the activities and investigations of Foundation personnel within the Alliance would be much more convenient, and the difficulties encountered would be reduced.

"But I still have a bit of personal curiosity: why, as a Doctor, can you mobilize personnel and materials on such a large scale?"

Although the conference room was empty, a tense atmosphere was permeating.

It was quiet for a moment.

Dr. White broke the silence:

"Why, indeed? I am also looking for a reason. Perhaps some Chairman needs me to take over, haha..."

Seeking rating tickets, seeking flowers! ===== CHAPTER 73 =====

After leaving the conference room, the first thing Luo Luo Bote did was spray himself with mosquito repellent perfume.

Although these mosquitoes had the cold-resistant trait, fortunately, they hadn't lost their sense of smell.

This agent, who had undergone the Foundation's human enhancement surgery, still didn't feel at ease after doing these preparations.

He changed into thick winter clothing, put on warm gloves, covered his entire neck and the back of his head with a scarf, and then put on a wool cap.

Now, even if there were damn mosquitoes, they could only bite his face.

Just then, a young soldier carrying a black briefcase knocked on his door.

He first handed a stack of documents to Luo Luo Bote:

"Sir, these are what you requested: geological survey records, hydrological data, climate change data..."

Then, he took out several file folders and introduced their contents respectively:

"These are the research projects conducted by the 34 biological, chemical, and medical laboratories in this region since the establishment of the Alliance."

"Except for top-secret files currently being re-audited by the Supreme Commander, these are all the materials."

Luo Luo Bote took the heavy documents and sighed in his heart.

Even these kinds of files are being shared with the Foundation... What level of secrets did the Foundation exchange for this...

Calmly sorting out the key points, Luo Luo Bote gave the soldier a standard military salute:

"Thank you, soldier."

"Snap!"

The soldier immediately brought his feet together, pulled in his stomach, puffed out his chest, held his head high, and returned a military salute.

Afterward, he turned and left.

The moment the door closed, Luo Luo Bote saw a pillar of thick smoke rising in the direction of the city.

The situation was getting worse.

"Time is running out..."

The smoke pillar was like a sharp thorn, piercing the false sense of comfort.

Luo Luo Bote placed the documents on the table and turned on the desk lamp.

The live stream footage also moved closer.

Files of different security levels were stacked together like ordinary printed materials.

Just the bright red "CONFIDENTIAL" lettering was enough to make the viewers' heart rates accelerate.

"Terrain mapping, hmm, no... river diversion, no..."

Luo Luo Bote picked up the reports one by one and tossed them aside.

He first read the titles, removing those that clearly had no issues.

Then he browsed roughly, filtering out those that might have problems.

In less than half an hour, Luo Luo Bote's gaze froze.

He thought he had found the answer.

It was a geological survey report.

Not long ago, a scientific expedition team came to a nearby glacier to take samples of the ice layer there.

This report claimed that they had discovered a protein crystal never seen before, and listed the various physiological changes that occurred after injecting this protein into local mice.

The mice first developed high fevers, showed severe symptoms of cold intolerance, and then entered a state of deep coma.

As for the disposal method for these mice, it was even simpler and cruder.

They just snapped their cervical vertebrae and threw them into the trash can they carried with them.

But the next day, those mice had vanished; they guessed that an owl or a ferret had Actions Actions Taken advantage of the opportunity to snatch them away.

And at the end of the report, they mentioned that they would use the university's electron microscope to further study this special protein crystal.

Luo Luo Bote's eyes twitched rapidly, browsing through the entire report at the fastest speed.

The muscles on his face stiffened:

"Oh, fu..."

Should he throw this researcher into a zombie cage?

Or should he praise him for being so lucky that he wasn't attacked by zombie mice?

Luo Luo Bote felt his blood pressure rise significantly.

He immediately called for guards and handed this document to them.

Not long after, he was informed that a team of soldiers would accompany him to the university shortly.

And on the glacier side, a team of Class C researchers would go to handle it.

Luo Luo Bote took his equipment, received a rifle and spare magazines, and rushed toward the assembly point.

The night in the snow country was blood-red.

A tank was responsible for clearing the way, and a tracked vehicle was responsible for carrying the operation personnel.

Not long after they left.
