Chapter 971: Chapter 971 The Original Truth"It’s impossible! Impossible!" Luo Changren
The fact that the Gene Optimization Evolver was flawed could actually prove the research results from other base cities after the incident were close to the truth — this kind of evolution potion required injection or ingestion, so the Healing Potion would naturally be one-to-one.
So, what Luo Changren went to retrieve was not a vaccine but a Healing Potion used by players.
"You’re so sure about the effects of the Gene Evolution Agent; it can’t be that you’ve only seen Doctor Zhang’s experimental results. If I’m not mistaken, you were the first to try the Gene Evolution Agent," Xu Huo looked down from a height at the emaciated man sitting next to Gao Zhen’s body, "You’re well aware of the flaws of the evolution potion, yet you still brought it back to your hometown."
"Gao Zhen might have let you go initially, but he must have realized afterwards. The SE virus isn’t hereditary, and the Gene Evolution Agent has major flaws. Thus, the vaccine you brought back must be fake."
That’s why Gao Zhen arranged for someone to keep an eye on Xiong Qing all the time — the vaccine might be fake, but it could still be dangerous.
But whether it’s handed over or not is beside the point — after all, she also needed to reduce the burden by at least half the people. And with Luo Changren showing up at W37 empty-handed, it indicated that the stuff was at W37; as long as the people couldn’t escape, it was only a matter of time before it would be found.
"Ha ha..." Luo Changren suddenly let out a low laugh, and after a moment, he said, "Yes, that’s true, it’s not a vaccine. It’s for solving the aftereffects of evolution."
He touched his atrophied legs, "When Doctor Zhang gave me the evolution potion, he said that although it could significantly increase the evolution rate in the short term, it had more significant side effects compared to the Ordinary Evolution Potion. The good thing is, these side effects can be delayed with medication."
"After all, every player will eventually suffer from side effects; either they die or they regress. Even a Super Player like Lawrence Lee ended up in a wheelchair. If it could make me stronger in advance, what did it matter, this kind of price?"
"You talk a good game. If it’s as good as you say, then why did so many people die?" Shangguan Xi said sarcastically.
"That wasn’t my doing," Luo Changren said with a cold expression, "It’s just that those people from Base City 01 were greedy and secretly stole the potions that were in mass production to conduct their research."
"Doctor Zhang once said that the potion might be hereditary, so I went to him to find a solution after the incident. As for whether the SE virus is hereditary, I really don’t know because I only managed to get two potions."
"Those two potions were for treating your side effects," Xu Huo said.
"Not entirely..." Luo Changren suddenly looked up at him, revealing a strange smile, "You never believed me from the start. Even after the confrontation with Gao Zhen, you didn’t believe the vaccine I brought back was real... Ha ha!"
"But I’ll tell you, besides the potion I needed, there was one more which was specially left by Doctor Zhang; it’s an Antitoxin, but I don’t know if it’s of any use to the deeply troubled Base W37 City now!"
"Oh?" Xu Huo raised an eyebrow, "Why would Doctor Zhang leave behind an Antitoxin?"
"Because there is essentially no difference between the Potion and Poison; misuse, arbitrary formula alterations could all result in unpredictable changes," Luo Changren said, moving closer to his feet, and after some effort, he finally reached the case again, plunging his hand inside, "No one stole the potion; neither Xiong Qing nor his group would, and if Gao Zhen got the potion, he wouldn’t be asking me for it... It’s you, isn’t it? You took my potion, Mental Interference, what I see might not be real, the potion is still inside, isn’t it?"
Xu Huo remained silent, and Luo Changren grabbed hold of his trouser leg, "Give me back my potion... I can tell you everything about Doctor Zhang!"
