Chapter 691: The Baron's Worries

The entire minefield should be about one or two hundred meters, but it took Lin Rui's team nearly forty minutes to get through without any danger.

Lincoln, who led the team, saw purely by his eyes. If he is really unsure, he will also use a thin wire with a magnet bolted to test it. The metal fragments in the middle of the mine attract magnets, and although the suction force is not very large, it can be detected in the thin vertical lines. There was no way to do it, because they hadn't thought there would be a minefield in this dense forest.

And in the depths of the base, several people came up from the landing helicopter. The leader wore a red hood, which stood out in the green rainforest. Everyone unconsciously kept a certain distance from him, as if this person was like a blazing flame that would burn themselves if they got too close to him. His name is rarely known, but his code name is a pervert - the Red Baron!

The Red Baron and a few of his retinue strode towards the gate of the Real YĆ n Center, which was built entirely of steel frame structures and various modern materials. The gates were heavily guarded, and they were all dressed in full protective suits. One of them reached out to stop the Red Baron from advancing, "Sorry Pavilion, the professor is working. ā€

The Red Baron shrugged and said, "I didn't want to go in either, you go and call him out for me." ā€

"This ...... Pavilion, the professor's work, no one can disturb except his team members. The guard whispered.

"Tell him that whatever he's doing, I'm going to see him in five minutes. The Red Baron said coldly. His words were unmistakable, cold and untouched.

The guards didn't dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately notified the inside with the phone outside the real yĆ n. Then he said to the Red Baron, "Professor Schmed said that he would come out at once. ā€

After a while, Schmed, who was wearing a protective suit and the disinfectant liquid on his body had not yet dried, walked out and said angrily, "What is the matter, you have to disturb me at this time?"

"Professor, I'm afraid I'll have to interrupt your research. The Red Baron said coldly, "I remember that I ordered you to evacuate today. ā€

"Today, today is the day of the evacuation?" Professor Schmed said with some confusion.

"Yes. The Red Baron said calmly.

Schmed immediately shook his head, "This is impossible! The research is at a critical moment when it is about to break through, and if you stop the research at this time, you know how huge the loss will be? All the efforts I have made in the early years will be in vain, and the losses caused will be immeasurable." ā€

"But you also have to understand that this place is no longer safe, and we have eliminated three groups of intruders in recent months. It is clear that the US military has locked down this place. They can take action at any time. The Red Baron said coldly, "The evacuation is for your own good. ā€

"They didn't dare to carry out an air strike, because it would very likely cause the virus to spread over a large area. The only thing I could do was keep sending some people over to harass me and hinder my research. Schmed took off his helmet and said loudly, "And if we evacuate now, we will be in their arms." I had to continue my research. You've got to give me another week, and in just a week, I'll be able to get to the human trials. ā€

"So the research is complete?" said the Red Baron, with a twinkle in his eyes.

"We're almost on the doorstep of success, and now we only need one step to cross that threshold. I've addressed some key issues. The Ebola virus has a tight genome structure and efficient tissue, and I can use genetic technology to breed new variants of the virus to make it more efficient and more lethal.

But now the problem that we need to solve is also here, because the virus is so powerful that it is almost a week fatal after infection. This weakens the transmissibility of the virus. Because the infected host dies too quickly, it will not be able to become more infectious.

If we can slow down the death of people who have been infected with the virus, we can limit the time of their death to half a month, or even a month. Then the contagiousness of this variant of Ebola virus will sweep across Africa in a short period of time. So I need more time to experiment, collect the necessary numbers, and use them to validate my ideas. Professor Schmed kept saying.

"What would happen if I left now?" said the Red Baron with a frown.

"If you leave now, it will affect the accuracy of the test number, and many of the previous tests will be in vain. If you want to continue researching, you have to start again. God, give up this qiē? It's a nightmare. Schmed angrily said, "I'm not going anywhere unless I'm done with this stage of research." ā€

The Red Baron thought about it seriously and frowned, "What if I only give you five days?"

"Five days is a bit too much, but I'm going to do my best. I hope there won't be any more errands during this period. Schmed complained with some dissatisfaction. "Are you a little too cautious, I feel very safe here, and I don't need to worry too much about raids.

This is a war zone in Zaire, and even if the U.S. military launches a surprise attack, only a few personnel will infiltrate, and it is impossible to dispatch a large-scale army. There are at least a few hundred people guarding here, and it should be very safe. ā€

"I can only give you another five days, and when this deadline is up, you and your team must immediately evacuate with your research numbers, we have found a suitable location in Europe. You can continue to do the work here there. The Red Baron said in a deep voice.

"Well, if you insist. I have to go back to work, and I don't have much time to waste on such stupid conversations. Schmed shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Pavilion." ā€

"Well, remember my words, you only have five days to get the job done. The Red Baron said coldly.

Schmed snorted and put on his protective helmet, turned around and walked into the real room again.

"Baron, you're going to let him go like this?" said a member of the Order beside the Red Baron.

"It's just another five days. Dr. Schmed is right, it would be too costly to let all the previous achievements go down the drain. We have invested a lot of money in this project. If we all tear it down and start over, even we will lose a lot. Since this guy is so resolute, it is better to let him delay it for another five days.

The Secret Order member nodded, "I don't think it's necessarily going to be such a coincidence, something will happen in five days." Besides, we're here to protect the professor and his team even if something happens. ā€

"I hope so. A hint of worry flashed in the Red Baron's eyes.
