I am in the last days, I can connect to reality

Looking at the isolation box in his hand, Qin Zhong took a deep breath. He felt an urge in his heart to take Chujiu back to Songcheng at all costs.

This is not because of anything else, just because of this evolution potion, the value of this Chujiu is too high!

A researcher who can produce evolutionary potions can be said to be a national treasure. Such a researcher will be cherished like a treasure in the hands of any force.

As the head of the Tiangang organization, Qin Zhong must know the value of Chujiu. What's more, the most important thing is that Chujiu looks like someone who doesn't have an organization yet.

What? He's from the government?

Sorry, the government is in trouble now. Instead of letting him waste his time here, it would be better for him to serve himself!

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong flipped his hand and placed the isolation box into the space ring. He rubbed his hands, looked at Chujiu with a smile on his face and said, "Chujiu, would you consider returning to Songcheng with me? I have a large underground research institute there with all the equipment you need. Even if I don't have it, as long as you ask, I can get it for you!"

Chujiu saw the isolation box disappear from Qin Zhong's hands, but he was not too surprised. He seemed not surprised that Qin Zhong had a space ring. He asked casually, "What force are you from?"

"Tiangang Organization! I am the head!" Qin Zhong proudly said the name of his faction.

Chujiu thought about it seriously, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it. It should be a small organization..."

Qin Zhong: “…”

Then, Qin Zhong said unwillingly: "Chujiu, you just said that the raw materials for making medicine here are gone, right? I have them... Look, what is this!"

As he spoke, a glass jar appeared in Qin Zhong's hand. It was filled with first-level crystal cores, and occasionally a few second-level crystal cores.

"This is just a small part. In Song City, where I live, we killed hundreds of zombies a while ago. We seized hundreds of level one crystal cores, and quite a few level two and even level three. Look at me, I used the captured crystal cores to upgrade myself a while ago!"

As he spoke, Qin Zhong deliberately straightened his waist so that Chujiu could see more clearly. Although the crystal core Qin Zhong used was not captured in the battle of Songcheng, what did it matter? Chujiu didn't know anyway.

"This..." Chujiu hesitated, his eyes rolling, as if thinking about something.

Seeing that Chujiu seemed to be really thinking, Qin Zhong's mind was working fast. He was wondering if there was anything else in his hand that could attract Chujiu.

After thinking for a moment, he added, "I also have a researcher there named Hu Meng. She's also doing virus research. A while ago, she used a potion to induce a Level 1 Evolver to undergo a powerful mutation. I think if you went there, you'd definitely have a lot in common with her."

"Hu Meng?" Chujiu was slightly startled when he heard the name. The next moment, he nodded and said, "Okay, I can go to your place, but I have three requests..."

"You say!" Qin Zhong smiled happily when he heard Chujiu was willing to go, and said, "Don't mention three, I'd be willing to go even thirty!"

"Oh!" Chujiu smiled and said, "You said so, so I'll raise thirty..."

Qin Zhong: “…”

看到秦重满脸的尴尬，初九嘴角的笑意越来越大，也没有在逗秦重，而是开口继续道：“目前，1-3级进化药剂制作成功率约为100%，4-6级药剂制作的成功率约为43%；7、8级药剂的失败率为85%；至于9级药剂……”

At this point, Chujiu was silent for a while before continuing, "It's only been successful once, so I can't assess the success rate."

……

Qin nodded, his heart filled with awe. He knew that the research and production of medicines would definitely involve risks and a high failure rate.

But this failure rate is actually quite high, because as time passes by in the apocalypse, you will find that the evolution of zombies and mutant beasts in the apocalypse is becoming more and more powerful!

However, the progress of human evolution does not seem to keep up with the progress of zombies and mutant beasts. If this continues, I am afraid that what is written in the log will actually happen!

Thinking of this, Qin Zhong asked again in a serious tone: "Chujiu, who are you? Can you tell me?"

Chujiu was silent for a moment before speaking, "Let me first state my three requirements. First, you must provide as many crystal cores as possible that meet the needs of my research, especially those of intermediate or higher levels..."

"Intermediate?" Qin Zhong was stunned, not understanding what the so-called intermediate level was.

"Oh, you didn't know?"

初九疑惑地看向秦重，解释道：“1-3级在进化中算是初级进化；4-6级算是中级进化；7-9级是高级进化……”

"So that's how it is!" Qin Zhong suddenly realized, and then asked curiously, "Are there any more above level 9?"

After hearing this, Chujiu's face darkened slightly and he said unhappily, "As a level 3 evolver, is it useful for you to understand this?"

Seeing Chujiu's expression change so quickly, Qin Zhong's expression also became somewhat ugly, but thinking of Chujiu's importance, he endured it, endured it...

As if realizing there was something wrong with his tone, Chujiu took a deep breath and continued, "My second condition is that you shouldn't be curious about my affairs. When the time comes, I will naturally tell you everything!"

"The third condition is that you find an opportunity to go to Kyoto and, within six months, help me save someone's life!"

After hearing the three conditions mentioned by Chujiu, Qin nodded. He felt that except for the last one which was a bit difficult, the others were all fine. However, not being allowed to ask about Chujiu's origins really made his gossipy heart feel a little uncomfortable.

But thinking about the importance of Chujiu, Qin Zhong decided to hold back. After all, there would be plenty of time to slowly understand after taking Chujiu back!

Seeing that Qin Zhong agreed to his three conditions, Chujiu's expression relaxed a lot. He asked casually, "By the way, how did you get to Stone City? How are we going to get back? I have a lot of important equipment here, I might need to bring it with me!"

"This is easy!"

Qin Zhong responded and then said, "As for how I got here, don't mention it. I was indeed going to Stone City, but my way of getting here was very strange. On my way here, I met a mutant eagle. While fighting it, it dragged me all the way to the Magic City. Sigh, my experiences along the way are really hard to describe in words!"

After saying this, Qin Zhong's face showed an extremely unhappy expression. Indeed, no matter who it was, being dragged by an eagle all the way to Stone City would be a terrible experience!

"Uh, a mutant eagle? Can it drag people to Stone City?" Chujiu was shocked by Qin Zhong's words, and it took him a few seconds to come back to his senses.

Then, Chujiu asked excitedly: "By the way, where is the eagle? Did you kill it?"

"No!" Qin Zhong shook his head and said, "I captured it alive, in this space..."

"Oh!" Chujiu's curiosity was unstoppable when he heard it. "Wait for me, and when I get out, let it out and show it to me!"

As he spoke, Chujiu started to work again, putting the remaining medicines in the isolation cabinet into a larger isolation box, and then handed it to Qin Chong.

After doing all this, the two walked out of the laboratory. Although Qin Zhong felt that releasing the eagle might be dangerous, he thought that he was there too and if there was real danger, he should be able to subdue the eagle, so he didn't say much.
