The first phase of the experiment of the new drug has received good feedback in mice. As originally expected, it can extend the lifespan of other organisms and bring the physical function of aging individuals back to their peak state.

Cyril decided to report the new drug to investors after the second phase of the trial.

"If it is confirmed that this drug is harmless to the human body..." A researcher in the same group was a little excited.

"Oiler's team is said to have developed a new drug, and it's been pretty tight recently."

Boyce listened to the conversations of the others, and suddenly remembered the abandoned formula on the lost draft.

The fact that the experimental draft was lost was suppressed by Cyril, so only Boyce, Cyril and Matthew knew about it.

Boyce subconsciously glanced in Matthew's direction, he frowned, and it seemed that he had thought of the same thing.

After everyone else had left, Matthew came over and whispered, "How much do you think the new potions of Olier and the others have to do with ours?"

"I don't understand why the teacher didn't expose this matter before. O'Leary has always been good at pleasing investors. This time Professor Chris had an accident. He was eager to make money and wanted to be promoted. If we let him send the results before us, The position of the next director of the research institute is determined, and we will have a lot of trouble in the future..." Matthew kept complaining to Boyce, in his opinion, the day when the laboratory theft was discovered, it should be directly exposed.

"As long as the investors get the result, they won't care who did the research first."

Matthew was somewhat dissatisfied with the investors, who, in particular, knew almost nothing about the experiments.

"They only care about money, and they don't even know what a great discovery this is! They concealed the existence of the mermaid for their own selfish desires..." Matthew mentioned the mermaid with a frenzy in his eyes, which made Boyce move uncomfortably. opened his eyes.

It seems that many people in the institute are like this, and there is an almost crazy frenzy when it comes to mermaids.

"Even if there is no new medicine, the next director of the institute is likely to be him." Unless Professor Chris can come back alive, Boyce heard other people talk in private a few days ago, and the investor will be parachuted into a deputy institute. Growing up, Ollil should be eager to show his ability to investors before the newcomer comes, and ensure that he has enough say after the newcomer arrives.

"The missing draft is the formula for the Z-III version." Boyce later flipped through the draft left in the laboratory, and the one that noted the Z-III formula was indeed gone.

The effect of z-III on the test body is more obvious than the latest formula, but it went in the wrong direction at the beginning of the research, and the test body eventually died because it could not adapt to the changes brought by the drug, but in the early stage, this kind of adverse The reaction to the drug's incompatibility does not appear in the experimental subject.

That's why Boyce and the others reacted so cautiously to the new drug, and did not report to investors for a long time.

Originally, the abandoned experimental draft should be destroyed, but Boyce happened to meet Professor Cyril when he was going to deal with the draft.

"The draft of Z-III?" Cyril glanced at Boyce's hand.

"Yes."

The abandoned draft was placed on the test bench by Cyril: "You go to the office with me first, there is a little problem with the last experimental record."

He spoke again as if unintentionally: "The draft of z-III doesn't need to be dealt with, and it doesn't matter if the useless formula is lost."

"Is it z-III?" Matthew raised his eyebrows, and then showed a schadenfreude smile. Oriel was eager to claim credit for the experimental results, but he might not be able to discover the side effects of z-III.

The two were talking when Professor Cyril suddenly appeared and walked towards them.

He looked at Boyce: "Do you have any clues about the potion you mentioned last time that can counteract the effects of Z-III?"

Although Boyce didn't understand the intention of Professor Cyril to let him research to offset the z-III potion, he still did as he said and made some progress.

Professor Cyril showed a somewhat satisfied look. After Professor Cyril left, Matthew said: "In the end, we still need us to clean up the mess for them."

On the way to the restaurant Boyce faintly heard someone talking.

"It's dead again." Seeing Boyce's curiosity, Ivey explained to him that another merman lost control in the experiment. A researcher in Area B died in the experiment. The layer of tranquility that was originally floating on the surface It was broken for a moment, and then quickly calmed down, probably because someone always died at the hands of the mermaid, so the panic only lasted for a short time, in addition to the regret for the deceased, it was more for myself to be safe and sound. .

It seems that he is used to this kind of thing, but he can't help but be afraid of death.

"A new recruit has been identified above." After the researchers on other floors of the research institute entered the research institute, someone would secretly investigate, looking for suitable new recruits to fill the positions vacated after the death of the researchers on the negative five floors.

Boyce's ability to enter the negative fifth floor early also had a lot to do with the death of the previous researcher.

The researchers here entered the negative fifth floor of the research institute for various reasons, and they knew the secrets hidden here that were announced to shock the world. In order to keep this secret, they were isolated on this small island most of the time. Every experiment they conduct carries the risk of losing their lives, so they can only hold on to what they can grasp, interests, status, fame...

And these are obtained from the merman.

"Some people are willing to pay sky-high prices for the medicines extracted from the merman, and naturally some people are willing to risk being killed by the merman for the benefit. They have lived a long time under the anxiety of being killed by the merman, more or less than the people outside. There's always something abnormal..." There was a hint of indifference in Aiwei's eyes, and his tone was like a bystander.

Boyce remembered what he had said when he was chatting with Matthew: "One day it will kill me, or one day it will die at my hands."

"Why are you here?"

"Money is one aspect..." The salary given by the institute is indeed generous, Boyce heard him ponder for a moment, "I have always admired Professor Chris, I heard that he was here and wanted to come and try it, but I didn't expect it to be successful. ."

The two were talking, a researcher came over with a pile of debris, Boyce and Ivey stepped aside, he glanced subconsciously, and his face was familiar, he was the researcher he had seen when he went to Group F last time.

"Is it Beard's?" Ivey also glanced at it.

Probably for the sake of efficiency, the researcher piled things up high, and when passing Boyce and Ivey, he subconsciously turned sideways to avoid them, and accidentally dropped something.

Boyce squatted down and picked it up. It was an old pocket watch. After falling to the ground, a photo was hidden inside.

Above is a blond young man with a genial smile, smiling and looking in the direction of the camera.

"Is it Beard's son?" Boyce asked casually. The person in the photo looked a bit like Beard, but Beard's temperament was a little gloomy.

"He has no descendants." Seeing Boyce's surprise, the researcher on the side explained, "Professor Beard has always been single, and I haven't heard of him having children. This photo is what he looked like when he was young."

Remembering that the Beards were no longer there, he sighed and chatted with Boyce and the others about the speculations of other people in Group F: "Professor Beard has always been very concerned about the research institute he was airborne at that time, and wanted to make Results, so it is inevitable to be a little impatient in the experiment..."

"I just didn't expect that S-19 would rather die in the institute and die with him..."

Someone on the other side of the corridor called him, and he responded, letting Boyce put his pocket watch on him and say goodbye hastily.

Probably because the logistics material ship just arrived today, so the menu of the restaurant is still relatively rich today.

Boyce and Ivey sat down with their dinner plates, and Ivey suddenly mentioned another thing: "Are you recently inquiring about the day of Zooey's death?"

Both of them knew that the surveillance on the night of Zoe's death was strange, but Ivey didn't pay much attention to the truth.

However, he had heard some news from other people before: "It seems that someone saw someone going in from Olier's office that night."

Boyce frowned subconsciously, as if it had something to do with Oriel again...

"By the way, are you going to the logistics department to pick up things in the afternoon?" The logistics department will help researchers bring some things that are not included in the "contraband" of the institute when purchasing materials.

Boyce nodded and asked Ivey, "Aren't you going?"

Ai Wei said: "I didn't have anything to bring last time. I have something to do in the afternoon, so I won't go."

He thought for a while, then added: "Say hello to Anthony for me, and by the way, ask him to bring me a diamond candy, remember to ask for CR's."
