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

After Sarah and her friends arrived at the shelter, although life was hard, everything was still fine. Just recently, several mutant zombies appeared among the zombies surrounding the Pearl Tower.

Overnight, the defense of the Pearl Tower was breached, the guarding soldiers and police were killed or injured, the zombies swarmed in, and the survivors were caught off guard and suffered countless casualties.

Sarah got separated from the others while escaping. Because there were zombies everywhere outside, she didn't dare to run out and had to hide quietly in the tower.

People are iron rice and steel, and if they don't eat a meal, they will be very hungry.

Sarah, who had been hungry for three days, couldn't bear it anymore and secretly wanted to go to the kitchen to find something to eat, but she was discovered by zombies and blocked there.

If Qin Zhong had not appeared in time, she would have been dismembered by the zombies in a short while and become one of the zombies.

After Qin Zhong understood the situation, he looked at Sarah and asked, "Is there anyone else here? Have you seen a girl named Anna?"

Sarah thought for a moment and shook her head: "I didn't see it."

Hearing Sara's reply, Qin Zhong's mood became heavier and he stood up: "It's safe here for the time being. You stay here. I still need to go upstairs to take a look."

Hearing that Qin Zhong was leaving, Sara trembled all over and stood up hurriedly, her expression panicked and her voice trembling: "No, no, I don't want to be here alone, I'm scared."

Qin Zhong comforted him, "It's very safe here. Close the door. I'll leave some food for you. I'll take you away when I come back."

Sarah was so scared that tears were about to flow out, and she kept shaking her head: "I... I'm just scared. I'll go with you!"

To be honest, Qin Zhong didn't want to take Sarah with him. After all, it was too dangerous outside, especially with the mutated zombies. He could still fight if he encountered them alone, but if Sarah encountered them, she would be dead.

"You look very bad. You'd better stay and rest."

"No no no."

Facing Qin Zhong's kindness, Sarah shook her head repeatedly: "I... am afraid of ghosts."

Qin Zhong couldn't help but laugh: "I thought you foreigners didn't believe in ghosts. The world is already in chaos, with zombies everywhere, and you're still afraid of ghosts..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Zhong frowned. With the help of the light from his headlamp, he saw a scratch on Sarah's neck.

When Sarah saw that Qin Zhong suddenly stopped talking and looked at her with a strange look, she seemed to understand something. She exclaimed "Ah" and hurriedly took out a small mirror.

In the mirror, the scratch mark was very clear. Sarah opened her mouth, and almost instantly, her face turned ashen.

"Don't get excited, maybe... it wasn't a zombie... scratch." Qin Zhongyi was anxious, and his poor English made it difficult to speak fluently.

Sarah's tears immediately flowed, her voice trembling. "It must have been scratched by a zombie. Before, when I was running away, that zombie grabbed my hair. Although I struggled hard to break free, my neck... my neck... was scratched."

Seeing Sarah's appearance, Qin Zhong sighed, knowing that at this time, any words of comfort would be pale. He saw Sarah slowly stand up, open the door, and walk out like a walking corpse.

Qin Zhong was slightly startled, not knowing what Sarah was going to do, and followed her out.

Sarah walked slowly into the restaurant and walked towards the broken window. Qin Zhong was startled and immediately realized that she was going to commit suicide.

"No, as long as you are alive there is hope."

Qin Zhong couldn't help but stretch out a hand, trying to hold Sarah back. Sarah turned her head and looked at him: "Don't stop me. I know the consequences of being scratched. I saw it with my own eyes... I saw how other people mutated."

Sarah closed her eyes, a tear fell from between her eyelashes, and murmured to herself: "I, I don't want to become a monster..." Before she finished speaking, she suddenly turned around and jumped out of the window.

Qin Zhong screamed "Ah" and rushed to the window. Sarah's body in the air quickly shrank and fell to the ground calmly.

Falling from a height of several hundred meters was not something that happened all at once. In the last few seconds of her life, this woman who was afraid of even ghosts must have been extremely frightened.

Qin Zhong stood there blankly, letting the strong wind from the sky blow on his face like a knife, his heart was in turmoil. Just now, a living life was gone right in front of him?

At this moment, Qin Zhong secretly swore in his heart that if it was true as Officer Chen said, that this end of the world was really caused by some conspirators, one day, when he was strong enough, he would definitely kill these conspirators.

……

While Qin Zhong was in the Pearl Tower at the end of the world, Sun Xiaoyan had already returned to Kyoto and appeared at the pharmaceutical factory of Tianhai Pharmaceutical.

"Shh!"

Outside the R&D center, the security guard quickly swiped his card to open the glass door. Sun Xiaoyan looked serious, nodded slightly, and walked quickly into Tianhai Pharmaceutical's R&D center.

Inside the fully enclosed R&D center, rows of high-efficiency LED lights illuminate the entire space. The room is lined with rows of sophisticated instruments and equipment, sparkling with a cold metallic luster.

Li Yuansheng and several scientific researchers were wearing lab coats and protective helmets, busy at the workbench. Even when Sun Xiaoyan walked in, Li Yuansheng just glanced at her and quickly looked away.

The laboratory is filled with the faint smell of chemical reagents, which interweaves with the slight hum of instruments, forming the unique background sound of the R&D center.

In a corner of the laboratory, a huge whiteboard occupies the entire wall, densely covered with complex chemical equations and experimental data.

After Sun Xiaoyan came in, he did not disturb Li Yuansheng and his team. He found a seat and sat there waiting quietly.

Li Yuansheng and his team members would gather in front of the whiteboard from time to time, discussing some terminology that Sun Xiaoyan did not understand, but she could tell from the expressions of Li Yuansheng and others that the progress was very good.

On the laboratory table, rows of test tubes are filled with experimental samples at different stages, in a variety of colors. The record of each experimental result is often a small step towards the successful development of new drugs.

Time passed little by little. About two hours later, Li Yuansheng and others stood in front of the whiteboard again, looking at the large stack of freshly-made data, and let out a long sigh.

Li Yuansheng turned his head to look at Sun Xiaoyan who was sitting quietly on the side, and whispered a few words to the team members. They all nodded and then went back to their respective work.

This time, Li Yuansheng did not join them, but walked towards Sun Xiaoyan with a happy expression on his face.

Looking at the smile on Li Yuansheng's face, Sun Xiaoyan's serious expression slowly dissipated, revealing a knowing smile.

"Congratulations, Mr. Sun. We've completed the validation of the first of the three drugs you provided. It's very effective, at least 40% more effective than similar drugs on the market. This is just preliminary data."

At this time, Sun Xiaoyan's heart was finally at ease. After receiving the space ring from Qin Zhong, she spent a whole night in the hotel room checking all the computer hard drives.

Fortunately, she discovered three new drugs that had not been reported before, with complete target identification, lead compound discovery, drug synthesis and process development, prescription research and formulation development, etc.

Even the preclinical toxicology and pharmacokinetic studies of these three new drugs are very complete.

Although Sun Xiaoyan is a layman in drug research and development, she has been with Chairman Sun since she was a child, and over time, she has learned a little bit about it.

Now, after Li Yuansheng's professional confirmation, it can be said that Tianhai Pharmaceutical has truly come back to life. Coupled with the notebooks Qin Zhong gave her, Sun Xuan's plan to monopolize Tianhai Pharmaceutical has completely failed.

"President Li, this year's Pharmaceutical Fair will be held in three days. Please prepare in advance. At the Fair, I will hold a press conference in the name of Tianhai Pharmaceuticals to launch this verified new drug to the market."

After hearing Sun Xiaoyan's instructions, Li Yuansheng nodded. He also firmly believed that the successive launch of these three new drugs would be enough to eliminate the negative effects of Wanhai Technology's termination of the contract.
