After a while, Zhang Li came back, and behind him followed a vicissitudes of life old man with silver hair.
This old man is Mr. Tang.
As a great figure in the field of biogenetics, Mr. Tang is already 68 years old.
After the doomsday outbreak, Mr. Tang was lucky enough to escape the scarlet virus outbreak and became one of the few remaining senior citizens in the base.
He is also the Optimus Prime of the base's scientific research institute.
For this evolutionary potion, it was Mr. Tang who led several of his new disciples, through satellite communications, and the remaining experts from major bases, who continued to discuss and research day and night, and jointly made breakthroughs, and finally developed this drug.
An evolution potion.
Throughout the entire research and development process, those who carried the cauldron were basically the old professors who had survived the apocalypse.
Yan Ling was extremely lucky. Although the scarlet virus had a high fatality rate for the elderly, it was at least not 100%.
If this virus is more severe, the elderly will die suddenly.
Even Yan Ling couldn't believe how humans in this world could survive.
In a modern society with an aging population, most of the knowledge and wealth are in the hands of these older people.
If all these elderly personnel die, and only these young recruits are left, the best outcome for people in the end may be to retreat and become another niche species on Blue Star.
Do you want to rely on these newcomers who have just stepped into the professional field to develop evolutionary potions?
It is estimated that before the potion has been researched, the Red Devil has already pushed it to the edge.
"Mr. Tang, how is the development of the second-level potion going?"
Yan Ling asked Mr. Tang.
In fact, he should have gone there by himself, but he had no choice. Now, someone in the command room must be there to control the situation. He couldn't leave, so he could only ask Mr. Tang to make a hard trip.
In the four months since he was connected to the base, this old man had only rested for the first three days. After that, he spent almost every day in the laboratory, and his meals were brought to him by others.
He seemed to be aware of the current state of the base, so he spent almost all his time studying the scarlet serum, hoping to find a way out.
Fortunately, the evolution potion was eventually developed, but after this period of research, the old man was aging at a rate that was almost visible to the naked eye.
What made Yan Ling feel sad was that he didn't even dare to let him rest for a while longer!
Mr. Tang shook his head and sighed.
"The time is still too short. Being able to develop a first-level potion within half a year can already be said to be a miracle."
"Second-level potion, now we have no clue at all, not even a sample for reference!"
Yan Ling felt disappointed after hearing what Mr. Tang said, but he also knew that this was the inevitable result.
Scientific research is never something that can be achieved overnight.
Mr. Tang looked at the various live scenes on the curtain behind Yan Ling. Many strange beasts frequently appeared on the screen, and the figures of base soldiers also flashed in the screen.
Although the sounds of gunfire and shells have been turned off, just looking at the battle scene shows how brutal the battle was.
Mr. Tang opened his mouth, but did not speak. Finally, after looking at Yan Ling, he continued.
"Old Yan, apart from this, what else did you ask me to do?"
After hearing Mr. Tang's question, Yan Ling cheered up and spoke.
"Mr. Tang, I want to know how much first-order potion is still in stock?"
After hearing this, Mr. Tang paused for a moment, then groped around with his hands, and finally took out a yellowed notebook from his waist.
He opened the notebook, put on the reading glasses hanging around his neck, then looked through the writing in the diary, and after a while, he said to Yan Ling.
"All the stable first-level medicines have been provided before, and they are no longer available."
Yan Ling's expression did not change. He had obviously expected this answer. He took a deep breath and then said.
"Mr. Tang, I remember that you reported before that there is a failed evolution potion that will allow people to gain strength and speed beyond the first level, but the price is that after 1 to 3 hours, the person's energy and blood will decline and die.
Death"
When this potion was developed, Yan Ling had already paid attention to it and specifically asked Mr. Tang to keep the experimental records.
Moreover, he also specifically asked that the production process of this potion is very simple and can be produced in large quantities in a short time.
After hearing Yan Ling's words, Mr. Tang's expression finally changed. He looked up at Yan Ling in shock, and his voice couldn't help but rise.
"Are you going to activate Potion No. 6?! Didn't you say that it can't be used unless the base's survival is critical? Has it reached this point now?"
Hearing what Mr. Tang said, Yan Ling smiled bitterly, then he shook his head, suppressed his desire to tell Mr. Tang the truth about the base, exhaled, and said to Mr. Tang.
"Not yet. It's just that I need to be prepared. Mr. Tang, I hope your scientific research department will start producing Potion No. 6 now. Produce as much as you need. If you need any exotic animal materials, please contact Zhang Li directly. He will be responsible for making arrangements!"
Mr. Tang did not speak, but looked straight at Yan Ling with his eyes. Those cloudy eyes looked like lasers to Yan Ling, so he could only lower his head to avoid its sharpness.
After a while, Mr. Tang finally looked away, but his originally straight back suddenly bent a little.
"Okay, then I will go to the scientific research institute now and start preparing the No. 6 potion below. Zhang Li, you come with me. I will make a list for you. You must follow the requirements on the list and prepare all the resources to send to the scientific research institute!
"
Elder Tang's tone was as usual, but Yan Ling knew that the old man must have guessed something.
He was very considerate of Mr. Tang for not questioning him, otherwise, he might not be able to bear it anymore.
The fate of the entire base was weighing on him. This was too heavy and he could not give himself any excuse or opportunity to escape.
After Mr. Tang left with tension, Yan Ling looked at the picture of alien beasts raging on the wall, grabbed a walkie-talkie from the side, adjusted the walkie-talkie to a channel, pressed it and started talking.
"Team Zero, please reply when you receive it..."
After a while, a middle-aged man's voice came through the intercom.
"Captain of Team Zero, Wang Yun, I would like to say hello to you."
Hearing the voice on the intercom, Yan Ling's eyes showed a trace of struggle and sadness, but in the end it turned into perseverance, and then he said.
"I am Yan Ling. I am issuing an order to summon members of the zero team immediately. If necessary, launch the zeroing plan!"
After hearing Yan Ling's words, the middle-aged man opposite was silent for a while, and then a slightly trembling voice came from the intercom.
"receive!"
Afterwards, Yan Ling put the intercom on the table, looked at the soldier on the screen who was still struggling to support himself, and sighed inwardly.
too fast...
too fast!
Why don't we even have a chance to breathe?
Feeling the approaching despair and oppression, Yan Ling felt a tight breath suppressing his chest, making him a little breathless.
