When Rong Qi arrived, Lu Chengzhou was not in the lab. She donned her protective gear and proceeded to the lab table on her own. In a cage on the table was a little white mouse, an experimental subject that Lu Chengzhou was nurturing.
Rong Qi gazed at the mouse, its tiny eyes darting around the cage, her own eyes flickering between light and dark. She leafed through the medical journal her grandfather had left behind, which detailed every step of that groundbreaking experiment. The antidote to counteract the K3 virus had already been half-developed by her late grandfather. What remained were a few key ingredients.
She and Lu Chengzhou had been covertly collecting medicinal herbs from various places these past few weeks. They were almost there, save for one last component. Even if they did complete the formula, they wouldn't dare administer it to Ye Nanshen right away.
