Chapter 1457 - 1455: Alarm
Ye Xin didn’t wait for that person to answer and followed Yang Cao directly.
Seeing this, the person quickly chased after them.
He also knew that although the safety isolation room was safe, its defensive capabilities were limited; it could only ensure safe isolation from parasites. But if anything really escaped, the bulletproof glass wouldn’t hold for long.
It’s still safest to leave!
The three promptly left.
However, upon reaching the elevator at the top floor, the exit was already sealed off. Only with the highest clearance could they forcefully exit from here!
This frightened the person who had followed.
"No! We should quickly go to the isolation room!"
"Stop shouting!" Yang Cao scolded.
Although the person didn’t understand what Yang Cao was saying, he clearly sensed Yang Cao’s intention and shrank his neck in fear.
Ye Xin frowned and reprimanded, "Don’t speak! Follow our arrangements!"
"Yes!" The person dared not defy Ye Xin.
Yang Cao looked around, thought for a moment, and said to Ye Xin, "Let’s go to the laboratory! It has decent defensive measures! Plus, there are experiment materials inside, which can be used for resistance if anything gets out!"
"Okay!" Ye Xin trusted Yang Cao and his professional abilities.
Immediately, Yang Cao led Ye Xin to a laboratory.
Yang Cao was familiar with the lab’s experimental sections. The laboratory he chose mostly housed materials for creating suppression agents; agents that inhibit parasite mutation and growth.
If what they’re dealing with was a parasitic entity, it could have a restraining effect.
Moreover, in case the lab was completely overrun, they could forcibly activate the elevator to leave.
But given the unclear situation, they could not adopt overly extreme tactics!
Inside the laboratory.
Yang Cao was gathering materials to prepare some agents.
Ye Xin looked around for any usable weapons.
The man huddled in a corner, trembling.
Minute by minute passed, the alarm still blared, and the tension intensified.
Half an hour later.
The alarm finally stopped.
As soon as the alarm ceased, the man collapsed onto the ground.
The mental stress he had endured during this time was overwhelming.
After all, everyone fears death!
Seeing the alarm stop, Ye Xin also let out a sigh of relief.
Yang Cao, seeing this, directly poured out the experimental agents.
He didn’t need them anymore.
"Let’s go! Get me out of here!" Ye Xin said to the man.
The man struggled to crawl twice and couldn’t get up.
The coward was so scared his legs went weak.
Yang Cao saw this, felt disdain, and went up to pull him up.
"Move!" Yang Cao gave him a shove.
The man staggered, leading the two to the elevator and swiped a card to enter.
After returning to the resting area, Yang Cao and Ye Xin each went back to their rooms to rest.
Now, they didn’t need to do anything; they just had to wait for Nagakami Ueno to give them an explanation.
Without surprise.
Over an hour later, Nagakami Ueno knocked on Yang Cao’s room door.
Yang Cao opened the door with sleepiness, and upon seeing Nagakami Ueno, he grumbled, "What’s up?"
Nagakami Ueno, looking embarrassed, said to Yang Cao, "Dr. Byron, it was just an accident..."
"An accident?" Yang Cao snorted coldly, sizing up Nagakami Ueno.
Nagakami Ueno’s left eyebrow was singed off, and his hair was thinner. It was evident he had cleaned up and changed clothes, but a burned stench still lingered.
"The alarm rang for an hour, and to you, this is just a minor accident?" Yang Cao said coldly.
"Well..." Nagakami Ueno attempted to explain.
Yang Cao interrupted directly, "Do you remember the laboratory safety principles? If I recall correctly, international laboratory safety protocols are the same! Especially in these highly contagious high-risk labs, if an accident occurs, there’s a one-minute safety resolution period. At most, it can’t exceed ten minutes! According to high-standard labs, once a breach exceeds ten minutes, a self-destruct sequence is initiated! The self-destruct sequence is set for twenty minutes! Starting from the moment the accident begins! You have at most half an hour to resolve it! If not resolved within half an hour! The entire lab will be completely destroyed!"
Nagakami Ueno stood before Yang Cao like a student who had made a mistake, head down, not daring to argue.
"Whose life are you joking with?" Yang Cao scolded fiercely, "Miss Sela and I were hiding in the laboratory; you know how anxious I was? If an accident occurs, and Miss Sela faces any issue, not only will your lab be gone, but believe me, my boss can make Rejing City disappear!!!"
Nagakami Ueno didn’t dare utter a word.
"So, don’t use the excuse of an accident to brush me off! We came to help with your research, but we are not from Beihai Country and will not sacrifice for your experiments! Do not apply any risk to us! The consequences are beyond your bearable scope!" Yang Cao said coldly.
"Yes, yes, yes!" Nagakami Ueno could only nod in agreement.
"Speak up! What exactly happened!" Yang Cao said coldly.
Nagakami Ueno looked around, hesitated for a moment, and softly said to Yang Cao, "Can we... discuss inside?"
Yang Cao gave Nagakami Ueno a cold glance, stepped aside, allowing him into the room.
After entering the room, Yang Cao sat at the bed’s edge, facing Nagakami Ueno, "Sit down!"
Nagakami Ueno carefully sat on the chair by the bed.
"This accident was unforeseen, and our loss was immensely severe! Sacrificing sixty-nine people to eliminate that thing!" Nagakami Ueno said slowly.
Yang Cao occasionally expressed his views and emotions, "With your reckless, uncontrollable experimenting, problems were bound to occur sooner or later!"
"Yes!" Nagakami Ueno began recounting how he took Ye Xin to witness the experimental products, then the accident, and the fierce battle that ensued, which eventually resolved the crisis.
After listening, Yang Cao frowned and asked, "What exactly was that monster?"
Nagakami Ueno hesitated for a moment, and upon seeing Yang Cao’s icy glare, he slowly explained, "That monster... was our number one experimental subject..."
"Number one experimental subject? Did you manage to control the gene then?" Yang Cao asked.
Nagakami Ueno shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "Of course not... After injecting the parasite, it began mutating. Initially, we planned to destroy it, but... its identity was special, so it was retained and continually observed for mutations as a data set."
"To better and more intuitively observe the mutation limits of parasites, so we..."
