“Thus, the people who created this chemical need to obtain an antidote—and they don’t care about whether it’s through shameless means or not.”

Everyone, “…!!!”

“So, Ning Wenhao’s physical strength has increased drastically since the infection?”

Nuannuan thought for a moment before replying. “I don’t think it’s been by a lot, though it definitely did affect his physical fitness. Due to the enhancement of his heart and lung functions, his physical fitness is indeed better than before. Also, the medicine has helped strengthen his internal organs. Thus, his strength has definitely increased compared to before.”

After listening to Nuannuan’s explanation, Xu Ming and Qin Muyang were both shocked. They broke out in a cold sweat.

One had to understand that this chemical was essentially a genetic modifier.

Nangong Nuannuan, that lass, had actually agreed to hand over such an important formula for the antidote under their coercion.

If anything were to happen to this formula, the Medical Administrative Department and the military hospital would have to bear the responsibility.

Fortunately, Chi Yang had gone to look for the president!

Otherwise, they would have just continued to beg Nangong Nuannuan to give them the formula.

When the president heard Nangong Nuannuan’s words, the shock that he felt left him speechless for a long time. Finally, he broke the silence and said, “In other words… the other party struggled to find an antidote for their genetic modifier and used the threat of losing lives to bait you into handing them the formula? If you chose not to help, many more people would die. And if you agreed to hand it over, they’d get the antidote from these people’s bodies?”

Nuannuan pondered for a moment and said, “It’d be difficult, but not impossible. After all, these people were able to come up with such a complex method to obtain the antidote. They may be able to refine the formula based on people who have been cured.”

The president paused momentarily before asking, “If you’ve already got an answer, could you guess the question that was asked?”

That was his way of asking if Nangong Nuannuan knew a way to develop a gene modifier that could cause lung infections.

Nangong Nuannuan could understand what the president meant.

His rationale was that if this chemical was able to improve the human body after recovery, Camino would certainly seize this opportunity to improve the strength of its soldiers.

“President, let’s not talk about the fact that I have no way to develop the medicine. It’s just that the results are not anything like what anyone expected. Ning Wenhao was able to recover so quickly as he was already physically fit—after all, he was a top-notch special forces soldier. Among the men in our country, there are probably not many who could top him in terms of physical strength and combat strength.

“However, only 20-30% of ordinary people would be able to use this drug to recover. Most would likely die because their bodies are unable to fight against the powerful genetic modification, and their organs would eventually fail.”

The president was overcome with rage. With a bang, he smashed his fist onto the table.

“These people are simply too heartless! They are using human lives as a commodity to trade!”

After venting his anger, the president looked at Chi Yang. “Since the last time Ning Wenhao went to eliminate these people, have the Eagle Special Forces found any new leads? These people must be from Camino—that would explain why the illness originated there. Furthermore, these people are likely to still be in the Emperor District! They are simply too daring!”

Many things had come to light, and anything that had not would eventually also be found out by the president. Thus, Chi Yang did not hide much.
