One Hundred Ways to Whitewash Villains [Quick Wear] ━ Vol.1

　　Wei Chengze did not encounter any difficulties in the process of re-making the vaccine because he had completed it once before. Although the experiment cannot be carried out immediately because the mice are still being bred, it is naturally much easier to solve a problem that only takes time than to conduct experiments on living people.

　　After all, the reason why mice have become one of the most popular materials in the laboratory is their strong reproductive ability.

　　Closing the record in his hand, Wei Chengze pressed his eyebrows tiredly.

　　Of course he couldn't do anything while waiting. The previous vaccine only came from an idea. Now that he had time, he naturally wanted to improve it - even if the test object this time was not a human being, if the time for vaccine development could be shortened, it would be the best anyway. things.

　　Looking at the five test tubes containing untested vaccines in front of him, Wei Chengze frowned slightly.

　　N reagent is almost out.

　　Although He Chengxuan and the others brought out all the remaining reagents from the laboratory before Wen Ziyu's base was destroyed, the quantity was far from enough for Wei Chengze. And even though he tried many methods during this period, he still couldn't find a substitute for it.

　　——If a substitute could be found so easily, Wei Chengze would not have chosen such an uncommon potion from the beginning.

　　"...I'm sorry." Looking at Wei Chengze's frown, He Chengxuan took a long time to apologize.

　　Obviously he said such beautiful words before, but in the end, he couldn't get anything out of it.

　　In Wen Ziyu's base, they found several plants used to make N reagent. But as Wei Chengze said, this kind of thing is too difficult to cultivate - even though they were very careful, the three plants still failed to survive.

　　Hearing He Chengxuan's words, Wei Chengze turned his head and glanced at the man who stayed in the laboratory all day long.

　　Because this guy was always hanging around Wei Chengze, the person in charge of the laboratory even used various excuses to drive him away several times, either openly or covertly, but he always stopped him with "I have nothing else to do." gone back.

　　What He Chengxuan said is really not wrong. Although he founded this place and most of the people here gathered because of him, there are other people who manage and lead these people. At best, he is It was just a spiritual pillar - otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stay in Wei Chengze's laboratory for such a long time and still have no contact with anyone here.

　　Dangerous things like going to the enemy's base to steal information have always been done by people in the leadership - it has nothing to do with status or anything like that, and it's not something that's popular here, it's just But compared to this kind of thing, they have other more important things to do.

　　He Chengxuan admitted that he had no leadership skills and did not want to take on this burden, so he simply took the matter of running outside on his shoulders. But now, the organization that always chased them away before has been destroyed. They are not short of supplies for the time being. There are also dedicated people in charge of searching for healthy people. For a while, he is free.

　　Thinking of something, He Chengxuan moved his fingers and his eyes became dark.

　　"Hand the flask over there." Wei Chengze's voice brought He Chengxuan back from his thoughts. He subconsciously responded, took two steps, stopped again, turned around and asked: "How big is it?" ?"

　　"Medium size." Wei Chengze replied without raising his head.

　　He Chengxuan: ...Oh.

　　Even after knowing He Chengxuan's identity, Wei Chengze's attitude has not changed much. He is still the same as before, occasionally leaving some chores to him to save himself the time spent on it.

　　Perhaps Wei Chengze's behavior was too natural. As time went by, even other people in the laboratory began to use He Chengxuan as his tormentor. Sometimes, He Chengxuan even had the illusion that he was still in the original laboratory and had never left - except that the number of people asking him to run errands had increased a lot.

　　"Did Wen Ziyu find it?" Wei Chengze suddenly asked as he reached out and took the flask from He Chengxuan's hand.

　　Startled by Wei Chengze's sudden question, He Chengxuan carefully looked at the expression on Wei Chengze's face, but could not see anything special.

　　After a moment of silence, he shook his head, with a slightly annoyed look in his eyes.

　　Wen Ziyu is the founder of that base, and he still has the method to make materials that can cultivate N reagents. Of course, they can't just leave it alone. Therefore, after using the same method to deal with Wei Chengze to knock down Wen Ziyu, they took this person out of the base that was about to collapse.

　　However, I don't know how Wen Ziyu did it. Obviously, just in case, they injected him with more medicine than others, but he still woke up halfway. He even managed to escape after injuring a few people while the people around him were not paying attention.

　　Otherwise, with Wen Ziyu in hand, they would not have such a headache for the medicine necessary for Wei Chengze's experiment.

　　The reason why he tried every means to find a reason to stay here was because he had some thoughts of protecting Wei Chengze. You know, Wen Ziyu's attitude towards Wei Chengze... After receiving the answer, Wei Chengze was stunned for a while and then turned his attention to the matter in front of him again. He Chengxuan couldn't help but sigh softly. .

　　He wasn't a particularly capable person, but he wasn't an idiot either. There are some things that I didn't think of at the time, but when I think about them later, I can see that something is wrong.

　　Having replaced the vaccine in advance, destroyed most of the medicinal materials grown in the base, and was able to find a way to resist the medicine they prepared - Wen Ziyu obviously knew their plan from the beginning. However, for some purpose of his own, Wen Ziyu did not stop them.

　　And Wen Ziyu's purpose... He couldn't help but look at the unaware Wei Chengze, and He Chengxuan's fingertips trembled.

　　Wen Ziyu is gambling.

　　Use everything you have to tell Wei Chengze that no matter what time it is, all he can choose is his own side.

　　And with just that little difference, Wen Ziyu will win.

　　The wound on his arm had long since healed, but He Chengxuan could still feel the pain coming from there from time to time.

　　With Wen Ziyu's almost pathological possessiveness towards Wei Chengze, He Chengxuan believed that it was absolutely impossible for him to let Wei Chengze stay here like this.

　　Looking away from Wei Chengze, He Chengxuan looked out the window, with a slight chill in his slightly narrowed eyes.

　　How could his base be the kind of place where others could come and go freely?

　　As if he noticed something, Wei Chengze turned his head and glanced at He Chengxuan, with some doubts in his eyes. But in the end, he said nothing.

　　All he cared about was the test bed in front of him.

　　After staring at the boiling liquid in the flask for a while, Wei Chengze lowered his eyes slightly, hiding his expression.

　　A month later, the number of mice finally reached the expected level, and Wei Chengze's experiment could finally be carried out.

　　Staring at the little ones running around curiously in the box in front of him, not knowing the fate that awaited them next, Wei Chengze reached out and carefully took them out of the box. .

　　Compared with humans, the metabolism of mice is much faster, and their response to drugs is naturally faster.

　　Looking at the several white mice whose limbs were bent as if broken and covered in blood, Wei Chengze's lips were pressed into a straight line.

　　Suddenly, Wei Chengze saw something, his fingertips trembled slightly, and a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes. He saw the little thing that he thought was dead, standing up with difficulty, taking a few unsteady steps, and then fell down against the edge of the box. However, the rising and falling body shows the fact that its vitality has not yet dissipated.

　　Wei Chengze opened and closed his mouth several times, but Wei Chengze couldn't make a sound. In the end, he could only tremble his lips, turned his head, and looked at Xiao Li and the other two people who had similar shock to their faces, as if they wanted to To confirm what is normal.

　　"Doctor! We, we! We -" Even after saying "we" several times, they could not say a complete sentence. They were so excited that even their hands were shaking uncontrollably.

　　Only one of the five vaccinated mice survived, but this was encouraging enough for those present.

　　Although it is not perfect, although it has serious side effects, and although there are still many areas worthy of improvement - this vaccine is actually effective.

　　For Wei Chengze, there is nothing more joyful than this.

　　It was like a light appearing in the darkness, telling him that the path he was on could truly reach the end.

　　The surviving white mouse finally died more than half a month later due to severe damage to various organs. However, everyone present at the time will never forget the scene they witnessed.

　　"Let me just say, keeping the doctor is definitely a decision that won't hurt you!" He Chengxuan showed off happily to others, as if the one who did this was not Wei Chengze, but himself. Same.

　　The people who had felt sorry for Wei Chengze couldn't help showing an embarrassed look on their faces when they heard this. Lin Yang, on the other hand, just glanced at him and said "virtue" before saying this inspiring thing. The news was spread.

　　What people living in this world need most is something called "hope". And what Wei Chengze brought was exactly this.

　　Perhaps he has really found the right direction. Wei Chengze's subsequent research is going too smoothly. As long as the problem of excessive side effects is solved, the vaccine in his hands can be regarded as completed.

　　However, the good times did not last long - the N reagent was completely used up.

　　He Chengxuan and the others have turned over almost all the laboratories in the city, but they haven't been able to find many of these uncommon reagents, and those who went out to look for Wen Ziyu's whereabouts still didn't have any clues.

　　That person seemed to have disappeared from the world, and no trace could be found.

　　Looking at the vaccine in front of him that could not be completed due to lack of materials, Wei Chengze's eyes showed obvious anxiety.

　　The feeling of seeing the fruits of victory right in front of you, but being unable to take the final step due to the conditions in your hands, is really too unbearable.

　　And on the third day after the reagent was used up, a certain number of white mice suddenly died overnight.

　　Deadly poison was added to the feed. By the time the person in charge discovered this, they were all stiff and motionless.

　　The so-called misfortunes never come singly is probably what it means.

　　Looking at Wei Chengze's tightly frowning brows, He Chengxuan slowly held the hand hanging by his side.

　　Without the materials to make vaccines and the objects to experiment with, Wei Chengze's research naturally came to a halt. At the same time, rumors spread that he had killed those mice.

　　"Before he came, nothing like this had ever happened here!"

　　- Of course, such a thing could not happen. There were no guinea pigs here at all before.

　　"He even thought about taking Brother He's life back then!"

　　——Things happened so long ago, and now when I mention them, there are still people who respond.

　　"Who knows what his purpose is!"

　　——The purpose of that person is so obvious, but these people are like blind, unable to see anything.

　　Listening to the unfavorable rumors about Wei Chengze, He Chengxuan felt like he was holding a fire in his heart, but he couldn't find a way to vent it.

　　Find out the person who said these things and beat him up? If he really did this, it is estimated that similar rumors would intensify the next day. And who actually said such words, he had no clue.

　　Because people who go out often bring back some survivors they encounter, the people in this place are far from being innocent as before.

　　However, even He Chengxuan did not expect that just when he was struggling to figure out how to deal with these rumors, the first death would appear.

　　The deceased was bleeding from all his orifices, and his miserable death state looked no different from those infected by the virus outside. However, just a few hours before the body was discovered, he was sitting calmly with other people. Talk and laugh together.

　　For ordinary viruses, the time from infection to death is not so short.

　　Compared to the virus, he looked more like what He Chengxuan had seen - a person who had been injected with a failed vaccine by Wei Chengze.

　　As a result, the rumors that had subsided slightly before became even worse.

　　The area where the body was found was cordoned off, and people who had been in contact with the deceased were quarantined. Seeing various symptoms of infection appearing on them, the eyes of their relatives and friends were red. If He Chengxuan hadn't been protecting him, Wei Chengze might have encountered something different.

　　Those who have survived until now have basically gone through several rounds of life and death. It is not something that someone like Wei Chengze, who spends all day in the laboratory, can handle.

　　Thinking of this, He Chengxuan felt a twinge of pain in his head. He couldn't blame those who lost their relatives and friends, but Wei Chengze...

　　"I believe it wasn't him." He Chengxuan didn't hesitate at all when he said this.

　　Lin Yang narrowed his eyes when he heard this and looked over at him: "Without any personal feelings?"

　　"Without any personal feelings." He Chengxuan replied, he paused, "He is not the person who would do such a thing, and ," At this point, he suddenly laughed, "Now the doctor doesn't even have a vaccine in his hands. "

　　Without the N reagent, Wei Chengze can't even make a vaccine now, and that's exactly what he is doing. One of the reasons for anxiety.

　　"Could he be hiding the medicine secretly?" someone asked. After all, other than Wei Chengze, he really couldn't think of anyone else who would inject unfinished vaccines into others.

　　Wei Chengze originally did some human experiments under Wen Ziyu. In the past, it was better to have white mice, but now that there is no object to experiment on, it is natural to start targeting people again.

　　"Then why doesn't he use the latest vaccine?" He Chengxuan retorted.

　　If Wei Chengze really did this kind of thing for the sake of experiment, why did he use the previous vaccine that had no effect? And if he injected that person with the latest developed vaccine, it would be impossible for the other person to die like that.

　　Unable to find any reason to refute He Chengxuan, everyone else fell silent.

　　After a long time, Lin Yang spoke and broke the silence: "If it's not Wei Chengze, it can only be another person."

　　In this world, there are not many people who can get the vaccine made by Wei Chengze. I just don't know how that person managed to sneak into this base without being noticed by anyone.

　　After the discussion, He Chengxuan came to the laboratory as usual. He looked at the person who seemed not to be affected by the rumors from the outside world, and couldn't tell what he felt in his heart.

　　Wei Chengze is indeed slow in matters outside of experiments, but he is not a stone without any emotion. When those knives are inserted into his heart, he will bleed and hurt.

　　Precisely because he knew this, He Chengxuan felt even more distressed when he saw the calm expression on this man's face.

　　He Chengxuan raised his hand, wanting to give the person in front of him a hug, wanting to tell him his trust in him in this person's ear, wanting to convey his heart to him without reservation - but in the end, He Chengxuan still took his hand back.

　　He didn't dare.

　　Even if he could confess his feelings for Wei Chengze in front of other people, he couldn't even say a word in front of this person.

　　He would always think of the panic in Wei Chengze's eyes when he looked at Wen Ziyu at another base. He Chengxuan was afraid that if he spoke his thoughts, Wei Chengze would look at him like that.

　　Seeing Wei Chengze finishing his work and turning around to leave the laboratory, He Chengxuan quickly followed him: "I'll take you back."

　　In the past two days, some people were too excited. Worried that Wei Chengze would be in danger - He Chengxuan couldn't help but feel scared when he thought about what would have happened if he didn't arrive in time the previous two times.

　　To be honest, if Wei Chengze wasn't worried about being bored, he would have wanted to protect him 24 hours a day.

　　Hearing He Chengxuan's words, Wei Chengze paused, turned his head, and looked at the founder of the organization who was hanging around him all day long.

　　Of course he could tell what the other party was worried about. In fact, since the last time the dagger almost pierced his heart, he had realized how disgusting he was in this place.

　　He is someone who has done such things, so how dare he expect others to trust him?

　　"Sorry." After looking at He Chengxuan for a while, Wei Chengze turned his head and looked away, "I want to go for a walk alone."

　　"But..." He subconsciously opened his mouth to refute something, but when he saw Wei Chengze's face While showing his expression, He Chengxuan forcefully swallowed the words that came to his lips. He was silent for a while before speaking again: "Be careful." After saying that, as if he felt uneasy, he took out a small knife from his arms and stuffed it into Wei Chengze's hand.

　　Wei Chengze looks so weak that he can tell at a glance that he cannot defeat others, but having a weapon in his hand can at least give him a little more protection.

　　After staring down at the knife in his hand for a long time, Wei Chengze raised his head and thanked He Chengxuan: "Thank you."

　　Perhaps now, the only person in front of him still has such unreserved trust in him. .

　　"Well..." Facing Wei Chengze's eyes that reflected his own appearance, He Chengxuan's eyes drifted a little uncomfortably, "If you need anything, just call me."

　　Watching He Chengxuan leave, Wei Chengze was at the same place again. After standing for a while, he put away the knife in his hand, turned around, and walked in the other direction.

　　Due to different concepts, the base built by He Chengxuan is different from the one built by Wen Ziyu. In many places, there are doors and windows that can enter and exit the base. If people inside want to go out for air, they will not encounter any obstruction.

　　Stopping in front of the only entrance that did not require identity verification, Wei Chengze raised his hand and pushed open the closed door in front of him.

　　What you see is a pleasant green, and the air after the rain is still a little moist, giving you a refreshing freshness.

　　In order to avoid areas with infected people, He Chengxuan and the others deliberately chose such a remote place when building the base. At least so far, the results are quite good.

　　His eyes stayed on the sky that was much clearer than in memory for a few seconds. Wei Chengze's eyes moved slightly downwards and looked at the person walking out from behind a thick tree.

　　"You're here." Looking at Wei Chengze standing by the door, Wen Ziyu showed a smile on his face. He waved to Wei Chengze, with an unquestionable command in his tone: "Come here."

　　His fingertips rubbed back and forth on the handle of the knife in his pocket. Wei Chengze stood there for a while, then raised his feet and moved toward The person not far away walked slowly over.
