Chapter 1136: Chapter 1136
The main issue is that the feeling after absorbing the toxin this time is too painful, and Tang Ming is unwilling to risk his life.
"What should we do then?"
Liu Gaoze’s face changed drastically, pacing anxiously back and forth: "We have so many employees poisoned in the company, we can’t just watch them die, right?"
"You, first send the poisoned individuals to the hospital for care, and I’ll quickly come up with a solution."
After thinking it over, Tang Ming gave some instructions and then dragged his body up the stairs.
In this situation, it was impossible to rely on himself to save people, the only hope lay with the two doctors in the laboratory, hoping they could develop a new antidote.
"Boss, seeing how much pain Tang Ming is in, maybe I should take him to the lab?"
Watching Tang Ming’s retreating figure, Liu Fei suggested reluctantly.
"You go handle the poisoned individuals, I’ll take him up."
Liu Gaoze glanced at Liu Fei and did not agree with his suggestion.
Although Liu Fei was Liu Gaoze’s driver and secretary, he wasn’t involved with the laboratory and couldn’t be allowed to easily access the secret studies of the Dark Group and the military.
Liu Fei nodded, turned, and went to the elevator to handle the poisoned individuals.
When Liu Gaoze helped Tang Ming to the laboratory, Sun Yu and Sun Zizai were studying an employee with a swollen body.
"Doctors, have you already started your research?"
Tang Ming asked in surprise.
"With such a major incident in the Liu Group, we wouldn’t just sit idly by."
Sun Zizai quickly stood up straight, saying flatteringly: "After all, we’re on the same side, so we immediately began researching the poisoned individuals."
"Have you discovered anything?"
Tang Ming looked expectantly at the two doctors: "I discovered that this virus is similar to the previously studied Genetic Poison, but it’s more potent, and our antidote has no effect on it."
"Not only is it ineffective, it even stimulates the poison."
Sun Yu, who was looking through a microscope, spoke without raising his head: "If we truly use our antidote to detoxify, it will only speed up the poisoned person’s death.
"You knew this all along?"
Tang Ming shouted speechlessly, widening his eyes.
"We just discovered it, what’s wrong?"
Sun Yu raised his head, looking puzzled at Tang Ming: "After you left, we started researching the test subjects that were brought in, is there a problem?"
Embarrassed, Tang Ming smiled and lamented inwardly that if he had known, he would’ve let these two doctors research earlier, avoiding much suffering.
"Doctors, what have you discovered now?"
Liu Gaoze placed Tang Ming on a chair, looking expectantly at Sun Yu and Sun Zizai.
"After our research and comparison, we found that this virus can be called Genetic Poison No. 2, as it has mutated and evolved based on the genetic virus."
Sun Yu explained truthfully.
"Mutation and evolution?"
Tang Ming widened his eyes, exclaiming in disbelief: "This thing can evolve?"
"Of course it can, but I’m sure this mutation and evolution was human-induced."
Sun Yu squinted his eyes, speaking coldly: "The previous genetic virus was just an attempt and exploration, with researchers conducting studies using live case observations. But this time, extreme measures were taken to enhance human capabilities without considering the body’s tolerance limits."
"So the lifespan of the poisoned individuals will be halved, living at most three and a half days."
Tang Ming nodded, having to admire the skills of these two doctors who could understand so much in such a short time.
"After all that, is there any way you can create an antidote?"
Liu Gaoze asked anxiously.
"Sorry, we currently have no solution."
Sun Yu shook his head helplessly.
"How can there be no solution? You previously developed an antidote for the Genetic Poison. Since this is a mutation and evolution of the genetic virus, you should be able to upgrade the antidote."
Hearing this, Liu Gaoze immediately shouted anxiously: "Many people in my company are relying on the antidote to survive."
"Director Liu, it’s not laziness on our part, but this virus only has cases, no original serum, we can’t experiment or analyze it."
Sun Zizai sighed helplessly, explaining: "Last time, we developed the antidote mainly because we extracted the original serum of the Genetic Poison from sour plum soup, analyzed it through element arrangement and molecular formulas, and then developed the antidote, but now..."
Sun Zizai stopped speaking halfway.
"Have you identified the cause of these poisonings?"
Sun Yu frowned at Tang Ming and Liu Gaoze, stating with conviction: "As long as we find the substance causing these poisonings, we can extract the original serum from it, just like we did with the sour plum soup."
"I haven’t yet found out how these people contracted the virus, but I can confirm they were poisoned in the cafeteria."
Liu Gaoze sighed helplessly.
Tang Ming shook his head in confusion: "I’ve already eaten everything in the cafeteria and found no toxic substances. If those people were indeed poisoned in the cafeteria, then it means someone poisoned them and then disposed of the original serum."
"No way? You’re saying there’s a mole inside the group?"
Liu Gaoze’s face changed slightly. If Tang Ming were right, then someone who could poison internally and dispose of the original serum must be part of the company.
And the Liu Group’s security measures are quite thorough, one can’t enter the electronic doors without special card access.
"There must be a mole, but saving people is the urgent matter now."
Tang Ming looked gravely at Sun Yu and Sun Zizai: "Doctors, is there really no other way?"
"Without the original serum, we truly have no other options."
Sun Zizai shook his head helplessly.
Sun Yu also nodded in agreement, illustrating the saying ’a skillful woman cannot cook without rice’.
Tang Ming slowly stood up, pacing back and forth on the ground, contemplating whether to take a risk.
Although there was no original serum, he had just absorbed all the toxins from Liu Fei into his body and successfully utilized Poison Skill to neutralize them. This means that his body currently not only retains traces of Genetic Poison No. 2, but also possesses antibodies or detoxification methods to counteract the poison.
With the doctors’ skills, they should be able to extract something useful from his body. But once that happens, the secret of his body might be exposed, and the matters of Poison Skill and energy would no longer be secret.
