CHAPTER 306: CHAPTER 306: WE ARE STILL YOUNG AND WANT TO LIVE FOR MANY MORE YEARS

Xu Yang was not immediately interested in the contents of the box, but just stared dumbfounded at the box itself.

This box...

Where have I seen it before?

Not with my own eyes, but at a special occasion, I caught a glimpse of a mysterious introduction about this kind of box.

This kind of box seems not something an ordinary person could use.

"Professor, what’s inside?" Qi Fei and the others showed no interest in the box itself, simply wanting to know what was housed within.

Su Ge felt the box was exceptionally exquisite and didn’t think much else, likewise curious about the contents.

Cheng Jinxi seemed to know that everyone was especially curious, so he didn’t play coy anymore, and lightly pressed the switch on the bottom of the box, which slowly opened automatically.

"Wow, such a high-tech box, Professor, where did you buy this? I want one too." Qi Fei had never seen a box designed like this.

Such a fun box, if it were bigger and used to hold a gift for a girlfriend, she would definitely love it.

Wait, doesn’t he not have a girlfriend?

Cheng Jinxi paid him no attention, his slender hand reached into the box and gently took out a transparent glass bottle, in which half a bottle of brown liquid was clearly visible.

"This is..." Xu Yang’s expression showed slight surprise.

Su Ge and several others had similarly shocked and curious expressions on their faces.

What is this?

"Virus." Cheng Jinxi looked at everyone who had suddenly fallen silent and added, "A virus extracted from the epidemic rats of Bafei Country."

"Epidemic rats?" Xu Yang was the first to catch the critical point, "Is this an extremely contagious virus?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Fei and the others subconsciously stepped back.

Originally, the lab only researched various complicated and miscellaneous diseases, and had never dealt with those highly dangerous things.

But ever since Little Ge activated the lab’s new century’s door with the night locust flower, all sorts of strange things had begun to be researched in the lab.

Even so, there was no need for the Professor to suddenly bring out such terrifying stuff for them to research, right?

Plague he had heard of; there had been similar outbreaks in the country, but the rats of Bafei Country, he had seen in some encyclopedia of bizarre events. The rats from Bafei Country were terrifying, they only bore a faint resemblance to ordinary rats at best, in his view, they were not rats at all, but more like little monsters.

Just thinking about something so contagious extracted from such little monsters was horrifying.

"Yes, this virus is extremely contagious." Cheng Jinxi did not intend to hide this from anyone.

Wan Houyi immediately said, "Professor, we’re still young and want to live for many more years."

Could they not research this thing?

This was practically joking with their lives.

"The choice is in your hands, but if you succeed in your research this time, you will receive a very generous reward."

After Cheng Jinxi finished speaking, Wan Hou and the others, who were about to quit, immediately hesitated.

"There’s a reward?" Qi Fei could hardly believe it.

Their club had always conducted research without compensation, and this time, there was a reward?

"Yes, a generous reward." Cheng Jinxi affirmed, looking at everyone.

Just as everyone was wavering due to the promise of a reward, Su Ge and Xu Yang’s gazes had been constantly fixed on the bottle holding the virus in Cheng Jinxi’s hand.

Has there been an outbreak of plague in Bafei Country?

Why haven’t there been any reports in the news?

If Bafei Country is keeping it a secret, how did Professor Cheng come to know about it...
