Laura's Beautiful Journey

When the Pelican arrived at its biological research base, Dr. Hansen had been waiting here for a long time.

Laura and the five suspended medical cabins behind her walked into the tightly guarded biological base.

"Based on the data you provided, my preliminary judgment is that they ingested some kind of drug that metabolizes extremely quickly, so no traces of residues were found."

"You are the expert, so you have the final say."

Dr. Hansen rolled her eyes when she heard this. She had discovered during many chats that her boss was quite talented in biology, but he was rejected when he asked her to study in depth.

The reason given was that she needed to learn too much, and the most egregious one was this sentence:

"Please, I'm the boss. If I have to learn how to do everything by myself, then what's the point of paying for your support? It's not like I'm looking for a secretary."

From then on, Dr. Hansen felt that he recognized the ugly face of capitalists.

"Hmph! You're just used to being the hands-off shopkeeper."

Faced with the ruthless complaints from an employee, Laura, who was so thick-skinned that even a tungsten-core armor-piercing bullet couldn't penetrate it, naturally didn't take it seriously, and even tried to quibble:

"Who said that? I am very hard-working. You are making a naked slander."

"Oh? Then why did Roxanne say you were covered in dust in Crawford's office?"

"!"

Laura stopped and looked at her in disbelief.

"Okay! You two secretly colluded behind my back. Tell me! What's your plan!"

"Collude with you big-headed devil! Do you think Roxanne is like you and only comes here when something happens? Biotechnology is a key project of the Croft Group. As the company's CEO, she has to work with her as the project chief every week. How well do I communicate in meetings as a person?”

"Okay, okay, everything you said is right, let's communicate~"

Although Laura agreed, Dr. Hansen always felt that her tone was weird, as if there was something behind her words, but she really couldn't tell what was wrong.

Fortunately, they had already reached the laboratory at this time, and Dr. Hansen put aside those miscellaneous thoughts and began to examine everyone in the medical cabin.

Like most scientists, Maya Hansen forgot everything around her as soon as she started researching. Laura was used to this kind of treatment, so she twisted the jade pendant and continued to think.

"Hey, who gave it to me? This pendant is quite beautiful, it must be jade."

She didn't know how long had passed, but her wandering thoughts were brought back to reality by the sound.

"This was left to me by my father. It can be regarded as a quite meaningful souvenir."

"Ah, sorry, I thought..."

Maya Hansen was a little panicked when she heard this. She had learned part of the history of the Crawford family from the newspaper. Although there were different opinions on what happened to Laura's father, the conclusions they reached were all tragic.

"It's okay, it's been many years, and I was young at that time, so my memory is not very deep."

She didn't tell the truth. If it was the real Laura, she would have been deeply influenced by her father, Richard Crawford. It could even be said that he was the biggest plot driver for the rebooted trilogy.

But as a foreign soul, although she has a certain sense of empathy, it is far from the level of the original time and space.

Dr. Hansen didn't know what she was thinking, but he still felt that he had said the wrong thing, so in order to ease the embarrassing situation, he talked about the research results on these people.

Her initial judgment was correct. Through reverse tracing of the cells of several comatose people, the doctor finally synthesized a small tube of pale pink medicine.

"I have never seen this kind of thing before. It will be completely metabolized in just a few minutes after being injected into the human body."

Laura’s eyes were locked on the potion in her hand, and she said:

"Then what is the effect and function of this thing?"

Dr. Hansen's excited look showed that he had been waiting for her words for a long time, and he continued to explain:

"Its effect is very simple, but also amazing! That is to activate the cellular genetic genes of organisms, prompting them to mutate in a short period of time, or to put it another way: evolve!"

Unlike Maya Hansen, who was excited and excited, Laura was only shocked and doubtful when she heard this conclusion.

"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"

Seeing her frowning expression, Dr. Hansen couldn't help but wonder.

"Doctor, tell me the truth, how much higher is this potion than what is available on Earth, and how is it compared to your current research?"

This time, Maya Hansen pondered for a long time before seriously giving her answer:

"Because you gave me sufficient research funds from the beginning and provided the most cutting-edge related equipment, my current biological research technology level is thirty years ahead of the earth's. Although I can trace back the cells of infected people in reverse, After producing this potion, we can also analyze its approximate effectiveness, but it will take at least five years to completely reorganize it through technical means."

Her words confirmed what Laura was thinking. There was a high probability that this jar of pink stuff did not come from the earth.

"What kind of consequences will they face after being injected with the drug? Is there any way to intervene, interrupt or terminate this... this evolutionary process?"

"It's not feasible. According to my guess, their process will be completed in about a week, and the time I want to develop the corresponding treatment method will be three times that long."

This contrast made Laura unconsciously rub her temples.

"Can they get through this safely?"

"In this case... wait a moment."

Maya Hansen sat back in front of the experimental table, called up the data and studied it again, while Laura walked up to Brock Rumlow, who was the fifth person rescued by Danny and Wade.

"After their evolutionary process is over, if they succeed, they should wake up soon, but if they fail, the life support system will completely collapse."

This was not good news. Laura took out a white IC card from Rumlow’s breast pocket and asked:

“What defines success and failure.”

"It can't be defined yet. I still need time to study it."

Laura checked the white card without any marks or words, put it into the space and said:

"I'm going to go out and deal with something first. It will take about half a day. I will stay here with you until their matter is resolved."

"No problem. Remember to bring me some burgers from the Royal Restaurant when you come back. I haven't had them for a long time and I really miss the taste."

The Royal Restaurant is Stark's favorite, and he even spends a lot of money to find connections to buy land, package repairs, and invite people to the burger restaurant opposite his building.

"OK, when you say that, I also remembered that I haven't eaten his food for a while, so I can do it again."
