National destiny survival: I am weak and rely on luck to fly

A knock on the door broke the silence in the room.

Then, Chi Wenxiao's voice came through the door, "Xiao Nan, Dr. Li and his friends from next door are here. They said they want to talk to you about something."

"Okay, I got it, I'll be right there."

Shen Nan immediately sat up from the bed, gently put the little ball of fur in his arms aside, straightened his clothes, then took a step and quickly walked towards the living room.

Shen Nan was full of curiosity. Why did Dr. Li suddenly come to see him? Could it be that his research had encountered some trouble?

Shen Nan gently pushed open the door, and in the living room, he saw three boys and one girl, aged 37 or 8, sitting on the sofa. They were all picked up by Ren Linhe himself in recent days. They were researchers who focused on the field of biology when they were on the Blue Water Planet.

These doctors exude a calm temperament that comes from years of academic experience. Despite this, there is still a hint of fatigue in their eyes.

Shen Nan's appearance instantly broke the silence of the living room. As soon as his figure appeared, the four doctors put down their cups of water and stood up at the same time.

Shen Nan greeted them politely one by one, and then asked: "Dr. Li, you came all the way to see me, is there anything you need help with?"

One of the oldest doctors nodded slightly, then spoke slowly, a hint of fatigue in his voice, "It's like this, in recent days, we have been conducting in-depth research on the virus stock solution and also conducted a series of research on zombies. However, we found that the task of developing virus antibodies is extremely difficult."

Hearing this, Shen Nan's mood couldn't help but become heavy. He really guessed it right if it was about antibodies.

After all, if this task was so easy to accomplish, how could a global virus crisis break out on Earth in just a few months, causing more than half of the world's population to be infected within a year?

Faced with such a powerful virus, how could it be possible that a few PhDs under the age of 40 could overcome this problem in just a few days?

Shen Nan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood the difficulties Dr. Li mentioned.

Dr. Li went on to say: "During the research process, we have also been in contact with our mentors. Since it is difficult to make a breakthrough in a short period of time, we began to think, since we are in a copy of the National Destiny Survival, regardless of whether this world is the real world, but the National Destiny Survival system exists, then why can't we change the direction of research?"

Shen Nan asked curiously: "What do you mean?"

"The fact that humans on the Blue Water Planet can transform into animals with just a beast fossil is beyond the scope of scientific explanation."

Dr. Li took a sip of water, as if to relieve the dryness of his throat, and then he continued: "We considered another possibility, that is, why not try to use the props or drugs provided by the system to see if we can crack the toxicity of the zombie virus in this world."

Shen Nan nodded in agreement, thinking that this research direction was indeed worth a try. After all, some things were difficult to explain with common sense, such as his own racial ability to cure those infected by the virus.

But he also clearly realized that his race's abilities were limited, and that was that they could only treat those who had just been infected with the virus and had not yet mutated.

Once the infected person has mutated, his racial abilities will no longer be effective.

More importantly, although his racial ability can clear the zombie virus from the infected, it cannot induce them to produce antibodies.

This means that once these infected people are scratched or bitten by zombies again, they will still mutate and eventually become zombies.

In contrast, viral antibodies are more direct and effective, and can directly immunize against the virus or prevent the virus from further invading and damaging the human body.

Dr. Li coughed lightly, looking a little uncomfortable. He suggested, "Some things are not suitable to be said here. Can we go to the bathroom and talk privately?"

Shen Nan was a little dazed for a moment, but soon nodded in agreement.

During the process of researching antibodies, Dr. Li's mentor once told him privately that Shen Nan possessed a precious item called "Mermaid's Tear", which had the magical effect of detoxifying all poisons and bringing the dead back to life.

This mermaid's tear was originally a top state secret, known only to the top leaders of the Xia State.

In order to successfully develop antibodies to fight the virus, Dr. Li's mentor revealed the secret to Dr. Li only after obtaining approval from his superiors.

Since the importance of the Mermaid's Tears should not be known to people from other countries, Dr. Li deliberately chose to discuss the matter with Shen Nan in the bathroom.

When the survivors are dealing with personal privacy matters, such as going to the toilet, taking a shower or changing clothes, in order to protect their privacy, the live broadcast room will turn to a black screen or switch to a scenic spot near the survivors.

After the two entered the bathroom, Dr. Li quickly closed the door and asked nervously, "We came to you this time to ask you if you could give us the mermaid tear for research on virus antibodies?"

Dr. Li's nervousness stemmed from his concern that Shen Nan might refuse.

Although his mentor revealed to him this item that could cure all poisons and bring the dead back to life, whether he could actually get it still required Shen Nan's consent.

Moreover, his mentor warned him very seriously that he must respect Shen Nan's personal wishes regarding the Mermaid's Tears.

If Shen Nan is willing to provide the mermaid's tears for research, then he can use it for scientific research. If Shen Nan disagrees, then he must put this request behind him, as if he had never heard of it.

Speaking of "Mermaid's Tears", Shen Nan suddenly remembered that he did have a small pearl. It was the teardrop he shed due to emotional fluctuations at the Amena Research Institute after his growth period ended. It has the magical effect of detoxifying and bringing the dead back to life.

Shen Nan nodded his head without hesitation and agreed: "Of course, Dr. Li, if it can help your research, feel free to use it."

Although the effect of the Mermaid's Tears is extremely precious, to Shen Nan, it is just a tear he once shed.

What's more, this was to complete an important copy mission, so Shen Nan had no reason to refuse.

Moreover, Ren Linhe had told him privately that in order to protect his safety, only a few senior leaders of Xia State knew the effect of the Mermaid's Tears.

Now that Dr. Li was able to mention this pearl, and considering confidentiality, he was taken to the bathroom to ask about it, this must have been approved by officials.

What's more, these doctors who were personally picked up by Ren Linhe and placed next door to conduct antibody research must have undergone strict screening and posed no safety risks. They are trustworthy partners.

Therefore, Shen Nan agreed to Dr. Li's request without hesitation.

As for the little pearl, Shen Nan thought, if it was still needed, then he would... cry again reluctantly?

(I'm taking a day off today, and will make up for it with two chapters tomorrow. You don't have to wait, my dears.)
