Chapter 360 Surrender
"Because the principal's research is for immortality, he can't ask pharmaceutical companies to participate in the research, which will make him lose control of the research in the end." Professor Dag didn't think that pharmaceutical companies would hand over this kind of research to outsiders.
Seeing that Luo Guang didn't ask any more questions, he continued, "This is the information I overheard when I sneaked into the school."
He began to explain what happened after he came to Livermore High School.
The reason why Professor Dag was invited to this high school was not because Herbert Friedman was interested in anti-biochemical crisis, but because his research had made no progress for several years and reached a bottleneck.
So in order to break through this bottleneck, he wanted to invite Professor Dag, an authority in microbiology, to join his research team and embrace immortality together.
Luo Guang heard halfway and found that Professor Dag seemed to be talking about some kind of animal, so he interrupted: "Wait, this biochemical crisis was not caused by a virus?"
"Yes, it's a protozoan, of course you can also call it a single-celled animal."
No wonder Luo Guang felt that the target was a bit huge when he controlled the Shinra virus to devour the "virus" in Professor Dag's body.
"What happened next?" After learning about this, he continued to ask about the other party's whereabouts.
"I didn't refuse at the first time, but pretended to be very interested and tried to collect more evidence..."
Professor Dag paused, thought of something, and said to Luo Guang: "Wait, my fever has subsided?"
"Oh, I saw you were unconscious and had a fever, and I thought you must have been injured in the zombie battle, so I injected you with a broad-spectrum virus antidote."
Luo Guang said indifferently, and then changed the subject, saying: "What did you experience next?"
"Although the other party invited me, they did not fully trust me and forced me to inject the protozoan fluid they disguised as anti-aging drugs, so I need to inject inhibitors regularly, otherwise I will become a zombie."
Professor Dag temporarily suppressed his curiosity about the antidote mentioned by Luo Guang, and chose to tell the information that only he knew first.
"After the injection of this drug, I fell into a coma and could not contact the B.S.A.A., and my cell phone was taken away by them. But this is just what I want, because after I disappeared, the B.S.A.A. will also focus on this high school..." Obviously, he originally planned to be an undercover agent, but he was tricked by the principal.
Luo Guang nodded and said, "No wonder the other party pretended that you had left the school, just to get rid of suspicion."
He explained the situation on his side and said, "If the other party did not choose to ambush us, but cooperated with the investigation, we would not have put the suspect on this school so quickly."
It seems that the previous missing student incidents were all left unresolved, which made the principal feel that the disappearance of a B.S.A.A. consultant and several B.S.A.A. agents was not a problem, so he made such a stupid choice.
But the other party was so tough against the B.S.A.A. people, is there really no other force behind them? Luo Guang felt that there was something strange in this.
After hearing Luo Guang's question, Professor Dag smiled bitterly and said, "It really doesn't look like there is any backing from behind, because their laboratory is too simple, not much better than in the 1990s, and many precision instruments are missing. From this point of view, it is already amazing that the three of them can develop a barely usable anti-aging drug."
"I see." Luo Guang completely understood that Professor Dag concluded that there was no backing from behind based on the scale and equipment of the other party's laboratory.
Thinking that Jill should have completed the task there, he took out the walkie-talkie to contact Jill and told her the information he had found Professor Dag.
The walkie-talkie is very useful as a short-distance communication tool, so Luo Guang and Jill listed it as a must-have item to carry with them.
Professor Dag confirmed: "Besides you, are there other people here?"
"I am a consultant to the European branch of B.S.A.A., and I came to the Far East branch to exchange ideas with the director of the European branch, Jill Valentine. I happened to encounter your disappearance, so I came here with Agent Mela to investigate."
Luo Guang briefly explained the situation and told the other party that he had contacted B.S.A.A.
After thinking for a while, Professor Dag said: "Later, I escaped from their laboratory in order to tip off B.S.A.A., and the principal's sneak attack on you failed, so I was worried that the other party would escape with the research materials. If this thing that can make people immortal is announced, the consequences will be disastrous."
"What do you mean?"
"We destroyed all these research materials and results before B.S.A.A. arrived." Looking straight at Luo Guang, Professor Dag seemed to have made a great determination when he said this.
It seems that Professor Dager, like himself, feels that the B.S.A.A. may not be so pure inside, and is worried that bad guys will know about it.
Since ancient times, humans have been pursuing immortality, so it is inevitable that bad guys will target it after it is made public.
Luo Guang nodded and asked, "Where is the research institute?"
"There is a basement under the other building behind this building, and there is a hidden cellar entrance in the garden there. After entering there and opening the secret passage, you can find the elevator leading to the underground research institute."
The other party spoke in detail, and Jill came to the art room in the middle of this conversation.
"Have Meela and the others left?" Luo Guang turned around and asked.
Jill replied: "Well, she is taking those students out of the school, and she agreed to our previous plan and will pick up the B.S.A.A. troops outside, so we don't have to wait for her for our next actions."
"That's good, let's set off. The professor has already found out the location of the enemy's base camp."
As Luo Guang spoke, he extended his hand to Professor Dag and said, "Professor, can you explore the Demon Cave again?"
Professor Dag smiled and held Luo Guang's hand, stood up and said, "I wish you all the best!"
——
"It seems that the principal can't control the actions of those monsters?" After Luo Guang eliminated the last zombie, he said, "Professor, do you know anything about these zombies?"
"This is the result of injecting anti-aging drugs or protozoan stock solution without regular injection of inhibitory drugs." Professor Dag paused and continued: "Humans will mutate into zombies or split into various monsters."
Luo Guang described the two-headed monster they had encountered in the conference room.
Professor Dag replied: "That kind of thing is a monster that mutates from the fallen human head. In addition, I have also encountered biochemical monsters that mutate from human intestines, like snakes, etc."
"Are these zombies mutated from the missing students?" Jill asked.
Professor Dag had a sad look on his face and nodded: "That's right. They were kidnapped by Principal Herbert and subjected to cruel human experiments. The result was that these people mutated into monsters and were imprisoned by the principal to continue their research. But now it seems that these monsters have become his tools to destroy his enemies.”
The few people continued to move forward and came to the other garden. Instead of seeing the entrance to the basement, they saw a huge monster first.
I don’t know how this thing was moved to this place by Herbert.
The front half of the biochemical monster is the same as that of a human being, but its belly has become very fat and continues to extend back.
The fat and fat are dragging on the ground, the legs are already covered by the fat, and the hands are short and waving aimlessly.
When the monster saw the appearance of Luo Guang and others, it let out a roar, and dense holes of various sizes suddenly appeared on the fat meat behind it.
Maggot-like insects emerged from it, then fell to the ground, heading in the direction of Luo Guang and the others.
"This looks very troublesome." Luo Guang put away the gun and knife with a look of disgust on his face: "Jill, take care of the big one."
As he spoke, he picked up a lot of gravel from the flower bed next to him, and then killed the maggots one by one with a snap of his fingers.
"Magic skill of snapping fingers?" Professor Dag seemed to have read a lot of martial arts novels, and exclaimed when he saw Luo Guang's posture.
"That's right, I have been practicing my magical skills for more than ten years, and finally I have a chance to use them." Luo Guang took care of all the enemies while laughing.
After Jill finished dealing with the enemy, she tilted her head and looked at Luo Guang. Upon hearing this, she knew that her boyfriend was lying again.
Professor Dagur seemed to be a martial arts fan, and chased Luo Guang to ask him how he practiced the magical skill of snapping his fingers.
Luo Guang didn't hesitate, his brain worked quickly, and he quickly made up a set of excuses.
"Okay, we are on a mission." Finally, it was Jill who interrupted Luo Guang's nonsense and said, "Those behind the scenes don't know whether they have guns or not, so we'd better be careful."
In fact, what she meant was to keep everyone quiet and not to alert others.
The two older boys looked at each other, shrugged, and then fell silent.
There were not many zombies in the basement. It seemed that Principal Herbert's experiments were relatively restrained and he did not capture students for experiments without restraint.
But it is true as Professor Dag said, this place exudes the atmosphere of poverty in all aspects, the elevators are also old-fashioned, and it does not look like there is investment from other forces behind Herbert.
"Don't move!" By coincidence, Luo Guang and the others happened to bump into the three people coming up in the elevator. Gill immediately raised his gun and scolded them, and shot to stop the other person from pressing the elevator button.
The leader was Principal Herbert, who was wearing a suit and ties.
Behind him was a man named Walden wearing a brown woolen shirt.
This Walden is a young man, not only Herbert's research assistant, but also his nephew and the biology teacher of this high school.
Initially, Herbert had no intention of letting Walden join his research plan, but his nephew was very clever and soon discovered the school's problems and offered to share the pie.
Herbert didn't hesitate, and let him join the plan after he agreed to inject anti-aging drugs.
After all, the successful development of this anti-aging drug was due to his father's contribution. Even part of the purpose of this research project was for his younger brother, Walden's father.
The remaining person was Nurse Vickson, who was wearing a nurse uniform and carrying a briefcase.
She didn't really want to assist Herbert in his research at first.
Herbert saw through her cowardice, grabbed her handle, and asked Vixon to secretly serve him, dispose of some research waste, or steal some illegal drugs that were difficult to purchase.
But soon, Vixen became obsessed with the matter of immortality. Compared with her colleagues around her, she looked younger and became a hot commodity, allowing her to get the keys to promotion and salary increase from certain people.
This quickly caused her to become corrupted, and she even began to actively assist them in their experiments.
The three of them are all the people studying this black protozoa. Professor Dag had already introduced these three people to Luo Guang on the way to the other building.
Hearing the words of Jill, who was pointing a gun at herself and others, Nurse Vickerson immediately released the briefcase she was holding, raised her hands, and shouted loudly: "Don't shoot!"
Herbert and Walter did not lose their composure because they were targeted by guns, but they did not dare to act rashly.
"Put down what you're holding," Jill continued.
But Herbert did not listen to her words and said, "Do you want eternal life?"
Gill finally warned: "Ultimate message, put down what you are holding, raise your hands and surrender."
The repeated warnings seemed to make Herbert misunderstand Luo Guang's motives, thinking that the other party was just bluffing.
"Don't be so nervous...ah!" Before Herbert finished speaking, Luo Guang shot the other man's thigh.
Luo Guang said: "According to the Anti-Biochemical Law, if you refuse to be arrested, we will have the right to shoot you."
"What!" Walden was shocked when he heard this.
Both he and Herbert originally planned to use the research materials and their own research experience to gain a place in B.S.A.A.
As long as they survive, they won't worry about B.S.A.A.'s senior management or investors not being interested. Of course, this is just their last backup plan.
After Herbert learned that his research was known to B.S.A.A., he immediately contacted a pharmaceutical company, and the other party would send mercenaries to pick him up.
Although he did not want to share his research with others, it was the lesser of two evils. Herbert felt that pharmaceutical companies would pay more attention to their own research and be less likely to block their own research than the B.S.A.A. organization.
The company had sent mercenaries to greet him, but he didn't expect to be blocked at the door by B.S.A.A. agents.
"Wait! I was forced to join them!" Nurse Vickerson yelled.
But this did not fool Luo Guang and the others, because Professor Dag knew about the situation of these three people.
At least he could tell from the way Vixon made holes in the experimental subjects and the way he looked at the anti-aging medicine, that the other party might have been forced at first, but in the end he also became a dragon.
Walden also said quickly: "We surrender! Don't shoot!"
As long as they were alive, they had a chance. He believed that the mercenaries who were coming would save them and leave.
"Yes! We surrender! The anti-aging drug I am researching can change human history and bring benefits to mankind!"
A good man never suffers immediate losses. Herbert changed his attitude very well and quickly expressed his importance: "I am already over 130 years old. The reason why I am still so healthy is because of the results of this research. Professor Dag can prove this. of!"
Professor Dag looked at Herbert, who had behaved arrogantly in front of him before, nodded and said, "He is indeed over a hundred years old. Do you still remember the name on the diary? That is his younger brother. They are only a few years apart.”
"I see, the nurse over there should stop his bleeding first." Luo Guang continued: "Please hand us all the research information."
"No, these are our research results, and..." Walden felt that if he gave these information to the other party, he would have no use value.
Just when he wanted to say that there was some more important information hidden, he saw a flash of fire on the weapon in Luo Guang's hand.
