The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

"...What?" Yi Ming, who was leaning in front of him, tilted his head, seemingly not quite understanding the meaning of You Mu's words. He opened his mouth and asked in a very awkward tone.

"Nothing... The scale powder is effective, but shouldn't you go back?" Shaking his head, You Mu couldn't explain these things to 049, whose cognition was unclear. Although a layer of illusion covered his eyes, he still remembered the time.

Now, it should be late.

"..." Yi Ming was silent for a while, as if he was in a bad mood because he didn't get an answer. He lowered his head and gave You Mu an awkward kiss on his lips.

There was a light kiss in front of my eyes, but the touch and perception transmitted to my brain were not like that. The thing with aloe vera gel filled my mouth.

In a trance, You Mu wondered if 049 had cleaned its tentacles. It had just sucked blood not long ago...

"Dr. You, I have something to ask..."

The door was suddenly opened, and Du Yansheng, with disheveled clothes, dark circles under his eyes, and dusty glasses, pushed the door open, but his hurried voice stopped abruptly.

A huge butterfly covered Dr. You.

This scene only lasted for a moment. When I looked at it again, it seemed to be just the information displayed on the cabinet beside the other person, with a visual dislocation caused by the splicing of various cover colors.

He blinked, and the hallucination that had just hit him was gone. There was only You Muyang lying on the chair in the room.

Speaking of butterflies, there is only 049 in the entire institute. But Du Yansheng is sure that 049 has been living in the greenhouse all day today and has never left.

However, the other person's clear-cut jaw and neck, with flushed cheeks...

It's just like……

Du Yansheng quickly avoided the sight, spitting at his own evil thoughts.

Dr. You is the only one here, how could it be possible...

Perhaps it was the mental disorder caused by working too long. Shaking his head, Du Yansheng put aside the momentary feeling of surprise.

The ripples in front of my vision receded like the tide, and the lights above my head became clear.

You Mu propped himself up, looked sideways, and asked, "Dr. Du? Sorry, I was a little tired just now."

As he spoke, there was still a sticky feeling in his mouth. You Mu reached out, took the cup, and used tea to dilute the mess.

"No, I should be the one to apologize. I'm sorry to bother you so late at night, but I have something important to ask you."

Holding the documents, Du Yansheng rubbed the tangled hair at the back of his head and felt sorry for his rash intrusion.

"Sit down and tell me."

The cold tea awakened his consciousness, and the temperature on his cheeks slowly dropped. You Mu sorted out the scattered calculation manuscripts at hand, stood up and poured a cup of tea for Du Yansheng, who also looked tired.

What a coincidence, we can stay up late together.

"It's like this. When I was studying 049, I obtained various data after its metamorphosis, and the difference was huge compared to the larval stage. Dr. You can view this data at will. I want to know whether the mother body that gave birth to 049 has such a cell fission pattern. Did you know this when you were in the Crested Ibis?"

"In exchange, I can share all the data about 049 since he came to the institute, as well as all the content of my previous research projects."

Du Yansheng looked a little haggard, but his eyes became brighter as he spoke, and he looked at You Mu with expectation.

Following the other party's line of sight, You Mu picked up the paper report that the other party had spread out on the table and studied it carefully. In fact, he also had a copy of the 049 specimen, but since Du Yansheng had obtained the data, his copy could be kept as an original sample.

Judging from this data and the information parameters of the mother in the memory, the mother does not have the sexual characteristics of 049. The difference between the two is huge, and the difference in values ​​is quite obvious.

"Doctor Du's idea is to find out why 049 cells lack toxins compared to viruses? Or, do you want to develop a way to strip away the toxicity of the virus and only retain the virus's intervention in the cell's fission mode? In this way, you can solve the infection and promote the evolution of ordinary people?"

It is easy to analyze a person’s thoughts from the other party’s comparative data.

Du Yansheng was very excited to hear his thoughts expressed by the other party, and vaguely realized how difficult it is to find a soulmate.

"Yes, that's what I thought, Dr. You. What you said is exactly what I had imagined before, exactly!"

"Didn't the base collect samples of the mother body when it was clearing out the organization's stronghold?" You Mu asked back after putting down the document.

"We went too late. The mother's internal tissues had already liquefied. There was very little information to obtain. We only collected a few bottles of highly acidic fluid." Du Yansheng sighed. The cave had dried up at that time, and it was initially concluded that the mother had been dead for several months.

"If Dr. You remembers the data of the mother body, can it be possible?"

"I remember that we belong to different factions. According to common sense, Dr. Du's behavior..." You Mu pointed to the surveillance outside, looking embarrassed.

"Don't worry, I am the one asking you for help, I won't tell anyone. It has nothing to do with the camp, it's purely my personal matter. The research process and results will be shared with Dr. You." Hearing the other party's subtext, Du Yansheng immediately assured.

"I can't explain the matter of the mother body in a short time. I will create a document tomorrow and send it to you after it is complete. In addition, I hope to obtain some acidic fluid from the mother body from Dr. Du."

"Okay!" Du Yansheng agreed immediately.

"It's getting late, Dr. Du, please get some rest."

He glanced at the electronic clock on the wall and saw that it was almost three o'clock. He handed the document over and stood up, preparing to go back to the sixth floor to sleep.

"excuse me."

Realizing that it was too late, Du Yansheng couldn't stay in other people's laboratory, so he stood up and went to the elevator at the end with You Mu.

It was late at night and the elevator was vacant on the underground floor. While waiting for the elevator to descend, You Mu turned his head to remind Du Yansheng of some loopholes in his plan.

"Dr. Du, although this idea is very good, I think you also need to consider whether it can really be applied to humans. Unlike those experimental subjects, if human cells continue to fission, the energy supply required is extremely huge. The human body may not be able to support the high-speed operation mode of cells that are overloaded."

Du Yansheng was stunned, and his high emotions gradually subsided as he realized that the question raised by the other party was a very important one.

If the vaccine finally developed cannot be used by the human body, then all his efforts will be in vain.

Du Yansheng was dazzled by the indicator light of the elevator. He lowered his head and his whole body cooled down.

The other party seemed to be much better than him. While he was delighted with his new idea, You Mu had already foreseen the problem of whether the vaccine could be used.

"Of course, these are just my personal guesses. Stick to your own direction and give it a try."

"Ding!"

The alloy door opened, You Mu stepped in first, nodded slightly, and closed the elevator door.

Through the crack in the door, Du Yansheng looked up into the eyes of the person opposite him. The thin black pupils were bright and soft under the overhead light of the elevator.

Du Yansheng was in a trance for a moment, and when he opened his mouth to say something, the alloy door had already closed.

He hadn't heard such overly gentle encouragement since his mentor's death.

Before You Mu came to the research institute, the people around him all relied on him and regarded him as the hope to save the end of the world.

They treated him very well, and all kinds of resources were piled up at his disposal. Du Yansheng enjoyed the preferential treatment of these unique materials, but he was also very aware of the increasing burden on his shoulders.

In fact, when Du Yansheng learned that You Mu was coming, he was secretly happy because he was no longer the only one who had to shoulder the burden, and if something went wrong, he would not be the only one to bear the blame.

He knew that he was being selfish and shameless. But at first, when the other party came to the institute with a different identity, he was indeed somewhat concerned and wait-and-see.

But now, it seemed that he couldn't hate this person at all.
