Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

"This is the neutralizing potion." Xia Jiumeng nodded and began to prepare the potion.

But within a few minutes, a tube of red potion that looked like blood with a hint of golden light appeared in her hand.

"This is the neutralizing potion."

Xia Jiumeng looked at Shen Xinghui, who seemed to be hesitant to speak, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, this potion will not only restore your genes but will also keep your appearance as it is now."

I leaned close to his ear and whispered, "You won't get old, Senior~"

Shen Xinghui's already round eyes widened for a moment, and then he smiled helplessly.

Xia Jiumeng was about to arrive and had finished her preparations when her cell phone rang.

"The takeaway has arrived, let's eat first and then get down to business~"

Xia Jiumeng was about to go out to get takeout, and Li Shen took off his white coat first and said, "I'll get it."

"it is good."

Li Shen walked out and thoughtfully closed the door. There were so many people around and it was not appropriate for others to see the things in the workshop.

Li Shen walked to the door, took the takeaway, politely thanked the delivery guy, and distributed some to the busy workers.

"Thank you, Mr. Li." Master Zhu took the lunch box with a smile.

What a great employer.

Meals are also included.

"You're welcome. Jiu Meng ordered it. Let's eat together."

Li Shen did not accept the favor, but said that it was Xia Jiumeng who made the decision.

Mr. Zhu was surprised, perhaps he didn't expect Li Shen to answer this question seriously.

"Thank you, Miss Xia."

"Yeah." Li Shen nodded calmly and turned back to the workshop.

After returning to the workshop, he refused Xia Jiumeng's offer to help and handed one of them directly to Shen Xinghui.

"Help me with the set up."

Shen Xinghui took the lunch box and went to set up the dishes.

There are not many dishes, only 4, but the portions are huge, and the second thing is that there are many boxes of rice.

Xia Jiumeng and Li Shenzhi took one, and the rest were returned by Shen Xing.

This made him feel a little embarrassed.

She noticed Shen Xinghui's shyness and said, "I don't have a big appetite, this is enough."

"I'll give you the injection after we finish eating and rest."

"Okay." Shen Xinghui nodded obediently and started eating.

After dinner, Li Shen took the initiative to pack up his things and throw them away.

Xia Jiumeng looked at Li Shen's back and secretly sighed in her heart: He is not only handsome, but also so considerate, he is indeed a qualified husband~

Shen Xinghui watched silently, feeling a little complicated.

Unexpectedly, another man appeared beside her without her knowing, which made him feel very threatened. Fortunately, this man was not the type that his junior sister liked.

However, he could see that this man had a deeper feeling for his junior sister.

But... he looked at the confused girl and then at the laboratory and sighed.

It seemed like she wasn't focusing on these things at all...but was studying her extra memories.

More on that later.

After cleaning up, Li Shen returned to the workshop and saw that Xia Jiumeng and Shen Xinghui had almost finished the arrangement.

He then changed into a white coat.

Xia Jiumeng pulled Shen Xing back to the treatment chair and motioned him to lie down.

"Okay, now you can start injecting the medicine. It may be a little painful, so bear with it."

Shen Xinghui lay obediently on the operating table and closed his eyes.

Li Shen handed the loaded injection gun to Xia Jiumeng, and she used the injection gun to pull Ikkiu off Shen Xinghui's arm.

The sharp needle gently pierced Shen Xinghui's arm. The medicine slowly injected into his body, and Shen Xinghui's body trembled slightly.

"Be patient, you'll be fine soon."

Shen Xinghui looked at her worried expression and wanted to comfort her that he was fine, but before he could say anything, a sharp pain made him lose all his strength and he collapsed in the chair.

Shen Xinghui's face turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He clenched his teeth tightly, trying to endure the pain, but the piercing pain almost made him faint.

Xia Jiumeng was extremely anxious when she saw this. She whispered, "Are you okay? If it hurts too much, just scream."

However, Shen Xinghui was no longer able to respond. His consciousness gradually faded, and a series of images flashed before his eyes, as if he had entered a nightmare.

In the hazy darkness, he saw his past and future, and the pain and regrets of the past once again flooded his heart. He tried hard to grasp something, but everything was as elusive as a phantom.

Xia Jiumeng turned her head and looked at the monitor beside her, which showed Shen Xinghui's physical data and the recovery progress.

Now it’s only 40 percent.

"Does it have to be 100% certain to inject the genetic medicine?" Li Shen suddenly asked.

"Yes, there's something wrong with Shen Xinghui's genes. It would be very dangerous to inject the genetic drug without restoring the normal sequence."

Shen Xinghui's occasional soft hums made Xia Jiumeng feel distressed. She couldn't help but grab his trembling hand and comfort him with her strength.

Although Li Shen was unhappy about this, he didn't say anything. After all, he had felt this kind of pain before.

And this person is also a friend she cares about, and he doesn't care too much.

I don’t know how long it took, but the progress bar on the display finally reached 100%.

"Li Shen, give me the potion."

"it is good."

Xia Jiumeng took the genetic medicine handed to her by Li Shen and quickly injected it into Shen Xinghui.

Shen Xinghui, who was already trembling, suddenly began to twitch violently.

"Li Shen, help hold him down."

Xia Jiumeng quickly asked Li Shen to help hold him down, then turned around to control the screen and asked, "Xiao Qi, what's going on?"

"Master, his body is experiencing a brief rejection. This is normal. The two drugs are working in his body."

Xiao Qi's voice echoed in the empty room.

As Xia Jiumeng spoke, a string of data codes appeared on the screen in front of her.

Xia Jiumeng looked for a moment and made sure there was nothing wrong before she breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as it's not dangerous.

Ten minutes later, Shen Xinghui calmed down completely, and Li Shen was able to let go.

"What should we do now?" Li Shen asked Xia Jiumeng.

"He has fallen into a deep sleep. He will wake up once his body has absorbed all the power." Xia Jiumeng said, placing her hand on his neck.

The thing I touched was cold and hard; it was his collar.

It is invisible to the naked eye when not triggered, and it should be using optical simulation camouflage.

He withdrew his hand and looked at Li Shen, "Please help him to the guest room."

Li Shen obediently helped Shen Xing back to the guest room.

"Hey, wasn't this guy still awake just now?" A decoration master said curiously after watching Li Shen carry the unconscious Shen Xing back into the guest room.

"Just do your job. Why do you care so much about the customers' affairs?" Master Zhu scolded coldly.

The workers immediately fell silent and continued working quietly.

Li Shen put Shen Xinghui safely on the bed before turning around and leaving the room.

Workshop.

Xia Jiumeng was looking at the data simulation of k41.

In the two minutes that Li Shensong and Shen Xing returned to the room, she had simulated more than a dozen sequences, but none of them could eliminate K41.

"What's this."

Li Shen walked behind her and looked at the strange blue-black object on the holographic projection, feeling inexplicably disgusted.

"This is K41, a substance I found in the core that can contaminate humans and cause them to mutate."

Xia Jiumeng explained.

"You found it in the core?"

Li Shen was a little surprised when he looked at the thing in front of him. The core had been studied for many years, but no one had ever discovered this kind of substance.

"Yes."

"Look at this first."

Xia Jiumeng handed the previously prepared analysis of superpowers and analysis of K41 to Li Shen.

He hasn't had time to look at these things properly since he woke up.

It’s a good time to take a look now.

Li Shen sat in the rest area and watched the video commentary on the tablet. Xia Jiumeng was continuing to study the inhibitor of K41.

[Master, no, there is no material on Earth that can render the inhibitor harmless.]

[No matter how the inhibitor is used, it will harm the host.]

Xiao Qi's worried voice sounded in Xia Jiumeng's mind.

Xia Jiumeng was anxious and worried too.

[I'll try again.] Xia Jiumeng's fingers moved quickly on the virtual screen.

Ten minutes later, she turned off the holographic keyboard in a somewhat irritable manner.

Damn it, no!

Seeing that she was a little unstable, Li Shen immediately put down the tablet and walked to her side and asked.

"what happened?"

Xia Jiumeng suddenly felt aggrieved when she saw Li Shen approaching her. She subconsciously buried her head in his abdomen and hugged his waist.

The voice was muffled, "Li Shen, no, I can't do it."

She had done countless researches before, and there had been setbacks and difficulties, but she had never felt any discomfort.

At most, when I feel emotionally unstable, I go to the training ground to exert some energy, then have a good sleep and go back to continue my research.

But when Li Shen came over and asked her what was wrong, she couldn't help but feel sad and aggrieved.

Li Shen held her in his arms and looked at the holographic screen on the desktop, which showed the interface of data simulation failure, and he knew why.

He reached out and gently touched her head, comforting her, "It's okay, take your time. If it really doesn't work, genetic medicine will work."

He had already watched those videos and knew that the power in the body of a mutant could automatically repel these K41s, so that humans would not be contaminated and mutated by mutant energy and stray bodies.

In fact, this is already a very good solution.

He could even imagine that in the future, the world might not be as bad as in his dream.

His little girl is far better than he is.

A potion solves the problems of human lifespan, mutation, and power control.

This potion is so incredible that he dares to say that once it comes out, the whole world may face a reshuffle.

And some existences may face the dangerous situation of having their foundations shaken.

However, if someone found out that she was the one who did it, her situation would be a thousand times more dangerous than it is now, and his current ability was far from enough to protect her.

Thinking of this, Li Shen looked at the furry head in his arms, and the worry in his eyes seemed real.

Xia Jiumeng did not notice Li Shen's thoughts, but her emotions gradually stabilized in his safe embrace.

He retreated somewhat embarrassedly.

"Well, I've thought about the question you just mentioned."

"However, it's different. Even if the body has the ability to reject genetic drugs, there is still a risk of mutation if the mutant absorbs the energy and core energy over time. Inhibitors are still needed."

"Can't the mutants be completely expelled?"

"No, just like there is dust in the air that humans cannot avoid when they breathe."

"Is there no other way?"

"Yes, but you saw it." Xia Jiumeng pointed helplessly at the screen. "What I just studied is the inhibitor that can help the human body reject and consume these substances, but you also saw that either the element chain collapsed or it simply couldn't be spliced together."

"If we remove the t element, we can do it."

"But in this case, the drug will not only attack K41 but also the normal structures in the host body. This is very dangerous and may lead to the death of the host."

Xia Jiumeng pointed with a pen at a T-shaped node in the enlarged inhibitor element sequence chain.

Without this thing, life-saving medicine will turn into poison.

"There's a very important element missing here. If that element existed, the inhibitor could be successfully developed, but I haven't found it yet."

"I've already experimented with the elements available in the lab, and there's no substitute."

Li Shen fell into deep thought after listening to her words, and suddenly thought of something after a moment.

"This substance is the substance inside the core, right?"

Xia Jiumeng nodded, "Yes."

"Have you found this substance outside the core?"

core..external.

"You mean....yeah, why didn't I think of that!"

Xia Jiumeng suddenly thought of something and stood up.

Take out a complete low-level core from the cold storage.

Since this substance is inside the core, it should also be outside. However, after analyzing so many cores, she did not sense it on a complete core.

This only means that there may be something outside the core that can isolate this k41.

The complete core is placed in the analyzer.

"Xiao Qi, start analyzing and capturing data."

"Ok."

"When K41 appears, pay close attention to see if there is anything unusual."

"Good host."

The analyzer ran slowly, scanning the core and then began cutting and extracting.

Because of Xia Jiumeng's special instructions, Xiaoqi used monitoring equipment to observe closely when analyzing the data this time, not missing a single detail.

As expected... [Ding! A new element has been captured!]

"It's true!" Xia Jiumeng looked at Li Shen in surprise.

"Li Shen, that's great!" She threw herself on Li Shen happily.

Seeing that she was so happy, Li Shen rushed over like a child and subconsciously hugged her to prevent her from falling.

"It seems we've found a clue."

"Yeah, that's great, you're my lucky star!"

"Come on!"

Xia Jiumeng hugged his face and kissed him hard.

Li Shen was stunned by this sudden kiss, and then a blush appeared on his face, and he was a little at a loss.

But Xia Jiumeng, immersed in excitement, did not seem to realize how inappropriate her behavior was.

After a while, Xia Jiumeng finally let go of her hand. She looked at Li Shen and said with a smile, "Thank you, Li Shen. You are really my lucky star!"

Li Shen came back to his senses. He tried to remain calm, smiled slightly, and said, "You're welcome. Now that we have a new clue, what should we do next?"

Xia Jiumeng excitedly pointed at the data on the analyzer screen and said, "Look at what this new element is. Maybe it's the key element needed for the inhibitor!"

When the captured elemental form is magnified, it is found that it looks like a lock and an S.
