Chapter 1461 - 1459: Bluffing
In the laboratory.
The examination is a very lengthy process.
Because no one is sure where the parasite is located, how long it will remain parasitic, or when it will erupt. This is unclear as well.
The incubation period of the parasite is something they have yet to figure out. Many environments that match the parasite’s growth conditions don’t result in immediate growth; instead, it starts growing only after external stimulation.
Some parasites remain immobile even after being stimulated.
There seems to be no pattern to be found.
The only certainty is that the parasite’s vitality is very tenacious, and even if the host dies, they can continue to live, even replacing the host to live on!
This is the most terrifying part!
Yang Cao conducts checks on everyone one by one.
Everyone is extremely nervous and anxious. All eyes are filled with flattery and fear towards Yang Cao because they can feel that Yang Cao decides their life and death!
While Yang Cao is examining them, he has his own little schemes in mind.
Yang Chen looks at the floor manager who is trembling nervously and says sternly, "You know, the transmission of parasites is very strong! Once you’re infected, it’s difficult to eliminate! Are you prepared?"
The man trembles in fear because he understands the Federation Language; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been chosen as the floor manager.
"I...I’m not ready! Doctor! Please save me!" The floor manager pleads, looking at Yang Cao.
Yang Chen looks troubled.
"You also know that once this thing infects you, you won’t be yourself anymore. If I help keep it a secret, it’s useless anyway! Just now, someone got touched by the monster’s fluid, I’ve checked, it’s a severe infection, and they could mutate at any time, becoming a hazard! So..."
"Ah!" The man is terrified, "Then, what should you do? Is there any way to prevent it?"
"Prevention..." Yang Cao shows a thoughtful expression.
The floor manager sees hope and rushes forward excitedly, "Doctor! Doctor! You must save me! I have a wife and child to feed outside, I can’t let anything happen to me! I beg you, if you help me, I’ll do anything for you!"
Yang Cao listens, feeling a sense of triumph.
His goal has been achieved.
But Yang Cao still puts on a serious expression, looks at him deeply, and says, "You don’t need to say such things. I’m just ensuring the safety of the laboratory so I can continue my research safely. Also... remember, I’m not doing this for you but for your child. I know what it feels like to be an orphan, so I don’t want your child to become one!"
The floor manager hears this, nearly crying from gratitude toward Yang Cao.
Yang Cao takes out a vial of medication, hands it to the man, and says, "Drink it quickly! Wait a minute, then we’ll do a blood test!"
"Okay! Thank you so much! Thank you!" The floor manager is almost about to kneel before Yang Cao.
He hastily drinks it down and then looks at Yang Cao with eyes of gratitude.
Yang Cao says, "I hope that aside from you and me, no one else knows about this! These drugs are my own development, and no one knows about them yet. Plus, I don’t have time to worry about others. Helping you is only because your situation is special, with children and family to support! Understand?"
"I understand, I understand!" The floor manager nods quickly, "I won’t say a word about it! You are my savior!"
Yang Cao gives him a cold look, "That’s best! Don’t think that because I’m just a scientist, I don’t have a thousand ways to make someone stay quiet! I hope you won’t want to know what those methods are!"
The floor manager breaks into a cold sweat, "I understand! I understand!"
A minute later, Yang Cao says to him, "Come over! Blood test!"
After the blood test, Yang Chen lets him go for other examinations.
And Yang Cao, after preparing the samples, calls the next person over.
The checks continue.
During this period, Yang Cao recruited several key people. It turns out that this method is very useful.
By evening, everyone has been examined.
Finally, Yang Cao focuses on Nagakami Ueno and says, "Come over!"
Nagakami Ueno looks at Yang Cao, feeling a bit weak, "Dr. Byron, why don’t you rest? You’ve been busy all day."
Yang Cao snorts coldly at Nagakami Ueno, "Who do you think you are? Everyone needs to be examined, do you think you don’t? Or are you saying you didn’t come into contact with the monster, or are you unwilling to obey the rules?"
"No, no! I obey the rules, but..." Nagakami Ueno tries to explain.
Yang Cao interrupts him directly, "But what? Because of your status, you don’t need a check? Or are you implying that parasites are intelligent and only bully those weaker than them? Seeing you, they don’t dare to parasitize and only bully your subordinates for fun?"
"No, no! That’s not what I mean..."
"Then what do you mean? Please explain clearly!" Yang Cao’s voice suddenly turns cold, staring at Nagakami Ueno, "This is your agreement! You know the power of the parasites! If you don’t undergo a thorough examination, you could become a hazard in the future. Forget about saving others; you’ll be begging the heavens if you don’t harm anyone!"
Nagakami Ueno hangs his head in shame.
"I’ll accept the examination!" Nagakami Ueno says in a deep voice, "As long as it’s for everyone’s safety, I agree to be checked! Thank you, what you said is absolutely right!"
Yang Cao looks at Nagakami Ueno with some surprise but nods slightly in approval.
Before the examination, Yang Chen hands Nagakami Ueno an empty bottle and says, "Shine this with the light first."
Nagakami Ueno doesn’t know what it is but shines it with the light, and the light waves ripple.
"Very beautiful!" Nagakami Ueno admires.
This thing is developed by Yang Cao himself, containing special substances that change color based on the light, very beautiful.
But the more beautiful the thing, the more deadly it is!
"What is this?" Nagakami Ueno asks.
Yang Cao says in a low voice, "Something like a vaccine, able to barely eliminate some parasites if you’re infected! Currently uncertain but absolutely better than doing nothing, drink it!"
"Doctor! Thank you so much!" Nagakami Ueno is deeply grateful, thanking repeatedly.
Yang Cao gestures dismissively, "Drink that, rest for two minutes, then undergo checks."
"Okay, okay! Thank you! Thank you so much, Dr. Byron, if you ever need anything in the future, just let me know, I won’t hesitate!" Nagakami Ueno feels very touched.
Especially when these parasites are at their peak of transmission! He fears being infected too!
