Chapter 724 We still have a chance
The bombed laboratory was filled with thick smoke, sparks flashing from time to time, and rocks rolling.
The room was filled with the smell of burnt rubber and an indescribable smell of burnt protein.
Near the exit of the laboratory, next to the electronic smart door, Nathaniel and Bear Man were lying on the ground, motionless.
——The grenade rolled over their heads and reached the oxygen generator in the middle of the laboratory before exploding. The two of them were far away from the explosion point, so the impact of the explosion was much smaller.
When the laboratory collapsed, the solid steel smart door provided a corner for them to survive.
At this time, the bear man lying in the rubble groaned and slowly opened his eyes.
He felt pain all over his body, as if he had been run over by a wheel.
Especially his scalp and face, there was a burning pain.
He raised his hand and touched:
"hiss--"
The bear man gasped in pain.
Part of his scalp and half of his face were torn off by the debris that was blown away by the impact.
The bear man gritted his teeth, supported the ground, climbed up with difficulty, and looked around -
Light came from behind - the explosion destroyed the power system, and the smart door lost power and was ajar.
The light from outside came through.
There was ruins in front of him, most of the laboratory was buried underground, and the explosion happened so quickly that no scientific researcher had time to protect himself, and the whole army was wiped out.
Including all experimental equipment, as well as viruses stored at a specific temperature - high enough to inactivate all viruses instantly.
Xiong Man felt his heart bleeding:
The entire laboratory was wiped out, both the scientific researchers and the virus were destroyed!
Oh shit! This woman ruined their decades of hard work!
Xiong Nan wanted to tear Cheng Ling in half——
The power to the smart door was damaged and the door was ajar, letting in light from outside.
Only then did Xiong Man see clearly the miserable situation in the laboratory.
——Most of the laboratory was buried underground, and there was no movement of any living people.
The bear man closed his eyes and took a deep breath to calm down his anger.
After a while, he opened his eyes and looked around, where is Nathaniel?
It's too dark to see clearly.
The bear man stood up with his knees supported. His head was slightly concussed due to the violent impact. This gave him a strong feeling of dizziness and nausea.
He stood there for a while, his nausea subsided a lot, and then he moved.
Walking affected the wounds on his body, making him grimace in pain.
The bear man pushed the ajar door completely open.
More light came through.
The bear man squinted his eyes to search, and soon he saw Nathaniel.
Nathaniel lay curled up not far away, not knowing whether to live or die.
He staggered to Nathaniel's side, squatted down with difficulty, and looked at his companions on the ground——
Nathaniel's chest heaved.
Phew - he's not dead. It’s better not to die.
The bear man looked around him up and down. Fortunately, there were no particularly obvious wounds.
"Neil——" The bear man patted Nathaniel on the shoulder.
Nathaniel had no reaction.
"Neil!" The bear man grabbed Nathaniel's collar and shook him back. "Neil, wake up! Wake up quickly."
Nathaniel's eyelashes fluttered and he slowly opened his eyes.
His eyeballs moved slowly and sluggishly, unable to focus at all, with an expression of dissociation.
"Neil——" The bear man tried several times, but couldn't make Nathaniel wake up.
So, he could only curl his fingers and flick Nathaniel's nose hard.
"Ah——" Nathaniel shouted.
Severe pain spread along the nose to the brain, sourness surged in the nasal cavity, and his eyes were instantly filled with physiological tears, but it was very effective, and Nathaniel woke up.
"Rick, what are you doing-" Nathaniel covered his nose with one hand and knocked away the bear man's hand holding the collar with the other.
Later, Nathaniel saw clearly the miserable situation in the laboratory.
He was completely stunned.
"What's going on?" Nathaniel ignored the pain in his nose and pointed at the collapsed laboratory with his finger, asking the bear man, "What happened?"
"Our laboratory was blown up!" Xiong Man roared.
"Destroyed?" Nathaniel looked blank. "Our laboratory is destroyed? Our viruses and our dreams are all destroyed?"
No need for the bear man to answer.
Because the facts are right in front of you.
The laboratory was completely in ruins - whether it was scientific researchers, viruses, or all experimental equipment, everything was destroyed!
Nathaniel lost all strength and collapsed on the ground in despair.
I couldn't digest the cruel reality in front of me for a moment.
It’s over…
It's all over.
"No, we're not done yet!" The bear man grabbed Nathaniel's collar again and said loudly, "Neil, cheer up! We still have a chance -"
"What chance do we have!" Nathaniel roared uncontrollably, "This is my last chance to stand up!!!"
"No! The president is still on the island! As long as he is here, we will make a comeback!" Xiong Man gripped Nathaniel's collar hard, and the back of his hand, which was burnt black by the fire, was stretched with blue veins, "Will the Heji Association not make a comeback?" Knowing that the experimental island has exploded, we can still force the president to give us money! With the money, we can continue the experiment!"
"I have all the experimental data on the virus in my head!"
"We just need to go back there and get a little bit of the Spanish virus, and I can re-create the YFW-02 virus! Maybe, we can research -03 and -04!"
The bear man said very confidently.
A glimmer of hope flashed in Nathaniel's eyes.
He murmured to himself: "We... still have a chance?"
"Yes!" The bear man said affirmatively, "But I need your cooperation! Otherwise, the opportunity will slip through our fingers!"
Nathaniel spread his hands and slapped his face hard, "Pah" - his expression calmed down a lot, and he was in high spirits, "Rick, tell me, what do you need me to do?"
