Starting as a Wallfacer, his defection to the Three-Body Problem shocked the world.

As a veteran criminal investigator, Shi Qiang possesses an amazing talent for handling certain special cases.

Luo Ji's hibernation pod can only sustain him for a maximum of three days of hibernation. Once the hibernation ends after three days, Luo Ji will die suddenly due to the effects of the drugs in his body.

If he were sent to a hibernation center, the ETO members could disguise themselves as staff members who were putting Luo Ji into hibernation. So, sending him to a hibernation center would mean he's out of his mind.

The Trisolarans don't kill hibernating individuals, but the ETO doesn't adhere to these principles.

Although Shi Qiang was unaware of the Trisolaran rule against killing hibernating individuals, his wariness of the ETO was far greater than that of Zhang Xiang.

Soon, under the cover of a transport plane and three escort aircraft, Luo Ji was successfully transferred to the Red Coast Third Base located in the Kunlun Mountains.

After listening to Shi Qiang's account, Lin Xuan couldn't help but frown slightly.

This ETO is causing trouble everywhere; it's really annoying.

It seems we need to find a way to kill them all, so they won't keep popping up and causing trouble.

"What do we do now?" Lin Xuan wanted to ask Shi Qiang for his opinion, after all, this guy was just as full of tricks as she was.

"I'm planning to have Chang Weisi send over a hibernation pod so Luo Ji can hibernate directly at your base. What do you think?"

"no!"

Lin Xuan shook her head subconsciously.

But he quickly realized what was happening and explained.

"I will demolish this Red Coast base later. As you know, I plan to build an underground city."

"I actually plan to live in the underground city in the future, but the construction of the underground city is still just a blueprint, so I can't predict the specific time. If Luo Ji is with me and something happens to him, it could be quite troublesome."

Lin Xuan naturally couldn't say that something shameful was buried beneath her ground.

Liu Chang's biological lab was already crazy enough, but there's also the Thinker array below the Super Dream database, where 32 clones are frozen in the nutrient solution pool.

If Luo Ji's cryo-chamber were placed here, the PDC might discover that something was wrong with their side.

"What can we do? We can't just leave him here unattended."

Lin Xuan pondered for a moment.

"Go contact the PDC first and report the situation here to them. You stay here and keep an eye on him. I'll try to figure out if I can resolve his problem."

In fact, Lin Xuan knew that the drugs on Luo Ji's body were the easiest problem to solve; the key difficulty was ETO.

If Luo Ji cannot be transferred back to the hibernation center within three days, ETO will launch a continuous and intensive assassination attempt against him.

But if he is sent there within three days, Luo Ji will definitely be in danger.

After all, you Trisolarans only said that we can't kill people in hibernation, so why don't I just prevent them from hibernating?

"This is really troublesome."

Lin Xuan went to Liu Chang's laboratory first. As soon as he entered, he took out a sophon blind spot device and pressed the switch.

In an instant, a barrier enveloped the entire laboratory.

After briefly blocking Zhizi's surveillance, he quickly picked up various bottles and jars from the table and began pouring them into test tubes.

Liu Chang, who was standing to the side, was completely dumbfounded. Just as Lin Xuan stopped what she was doing, the Zhizi blind spot device ran out of energy and ended its shielding function.

In just three minutes, he had prepared a bottle of medicine. However, to be precise, it should have been directly redeemed from the system. The long preparation process just now was just a fake action performed by Lin Xuan to deceive Liu Chang, who was standing next to her.

In other words, Liu Chang didn't know what the thing in Lin Xuan's hand was for. If he knew that the thing he had prepared could counteract the effects of intravenous potassium chloride on the heart's rapid heartbeat, he would have to call it a medical miracle.

After intravenous injection of potassium chloride, the concentration of potassium ions in the extracellular fluid increases sharply, reducing the concentration difference of potassium ions inside and outside the cells. Excessively high potassium ion concentration can seriously affect the function of the nervous system. However, since it is an intravenous injection, the effects on the heart occur earlier than the effects on the central nervous system, which can lead to sudden death in the recipient.

This is the principle behind how this thing causes death; it's what Yun Tianming was injected with for his euthanasia.

The medicine that Lin Xuan redeemed from the system was meant to help Luo Ji stabilize his heartbeat. That's right, not neutralize, not cancel out, but directly and forcefully stabilize Luo Ji's heartbeat.

As long as the effects of the drug last for even a minute, Luo Ji won't die suddenly.

He handed the medicine to Shi Qiang, instructing him to insert it directly into the slot of the hibernation pod and pour it into Luo Ji's mouth, who was in hibernation.

The information from PDC was disappointing. They said the best course of action was to send more guards to Lin Xuan and the others, and after Luo Ji woke up, send him to a hibernation center and have someone specifically watch over him.

Clearly, they were also unaware of the Trisolaran rule against killing hibernators; otherwise, they would have insisted on having Luo Ji put into hibernation at the Red Coast Base.

Are there any other solutions?

Lin Xuan hesitated. If all else failed, she would have to give up on the Thinker Array, since Luo Ji was the most important person.

"Another option is to put Luo Ji into hibernation for more than a year after he wakes up. ETO only has some remnants left that are still putting up a stubborn resistance. Perhaps in less than a year, they will be completely unable to launch any more assassination attacks against Luo Ji."

"Then I'll still have to leave Luo Ji with me, won't I?"

"Yes."

Lin Xuan let out a long sigh.

"Fine, I'll leave him here for now and see if there's any other solution in three days."

Lin Xuan was also helpless. His current situation was like that of a child who was in debt and couldn't complain to his family.

He couldn't explain to PDC why they couldn't keep Luo Ji frozen here indefinitely, nor could he watch them send Luo Ji to a hibernation center.

Although Luo Ji was not assassinated during his hibernation in the original storyline, who knows if the current storyline, which he has influenced, will bring him a little surprise.

Lin Xuan finally made up her mind.

"Damn it, it's just ETO. If they dare to invade, we'll make sure they suffer a crushing defeat. They like killing Luo Ji, right? Let them kill him. I want to see just how arrogant these guys can be."

"I will protect Luo Ji's life today; even Jesus can't stop me."

……

Three days later, Luo Ji slowly woke up from the hibernation pod, looking completely bewildered.

"Didn't I remember hibernating? It feels like only three days have passed."

……

Meanwhile, outside the Red Coast Base, a large number of ETO members were gathering, seemingly waiting for an opportunity to launch an attack.
