87: Chapter 87 Leaders, I Want All the Ones I Take a Look At
...
The news spread through the hospital like wildfire.
The area outside the doctor's office was soon packed with people, the corridors jammed tight with desperate patients and breaking family members.
Hope for survival had appeared here.
"She's really cured! I saw that woman leave the hospital with my own eyes!"
"Where exactly did that medicine come from?"
"Please, let me in! My son isn't going to make it!"
The crowd began to riot and shove; someone pounded on the office's glass window, their knuckles making a thumping sound.
Hospital doctors and several security guards tried to maintain order, but their words could no longer calm the crowd's emotions. A middle-aged woman broke through the barriers, grabbed Pang Hainan's coat, and collapsed to her knees with a thud: "I saw it, I saw it, you're the one who injected her. Please, save my daughter too! She's still young, she has radiation sickness as well."
Pang Hainan's expression was grim. All the doctors present at the time had been made to sign non-disclosure agreements, so it was impossible to tell the truth. Even the test tube that originally held the serum had been taken away under secret protection.
"Doctor, I'll pay in Credit Points! Any amount!" A man in a suit squeezed through, waving a card with a frantic expression. "One million! No, five million!"
A man with disheveled hair roared loudly, "Why is she the only one who gets to live?! We want the medicine too!!"
The chaos in the hospital corridor grew more intense.
...
Meanwhile, not far from the Fourth Union Hospital.
A military convoy drove into a small alley under many surprised gazes. Heavy armored vehicles rolled over puddles, splashing turbid water. People walking in the alley scrambled to get out of the way, yet couldn't help but crane their necks to stare; a convoy of this scale usually only appeared during major military operations.
The convoy stopped in front of a single-story house.
A middle-aged man with graying temples, wearing a Zhongshan suit, stepped out. The newcomer was Zheng Guofeng, the Director of the National Health Commission and the Leader of the Center for Disease Control.
Under the framework of the United Government, several major nations still retained their own governments and core medical systems. After Central Continent intercepted the message sent to the United Government, they notified Zheng Guofeng to rush here immediately.
A knock sounded on the door.
When the door opened, Zheng Guofeng saw a girl clutching her cheek with a pained expression.
"You're here. Big Brother is waiting for you."
Big Brother?
Doubt rose in Zheng Guofeng's heart. Hadn't Liu Peiqiang said the provider of the serum was an old man? He also said the old man wanted to make a deal with this world.
This world... according to the intelligence analysts, there was a 98% chance this old man was an alien.
Thinking of this, Zheng Guofeng's expression turned solemn as he stepped inside.
Inside the simple house, several large cardboard boxes with candy logos were very conspicuous. On the central table, candies were piled up like a small hill. None of these were the main person; the main person was the old man sitting in a chair playing video games.
"Ruoxi, entertain them."
Hearing the movement, Lin Fang spoke without looking up. He was close to achieving a hidden achievement in this game—Six-Star Good Citizen.
"Uncle, please sit."
Ruoxi nimbly put away the 'wages' she had been issued on the table, and conveniently picked a few flavors she thought were the best to give to Zheng Guofeng.
She regretted choosing candy as her wages.
Zheng Guofeng took the candy. His professional sharpness allowed him to catch the information on the wrapper, causing his heart to skip a beat.
How could the production date be 2012?
—
A short while later, looking at the six stars in the upper right corner, Lin Fang finally breathed a sigh of relief; it was worth playing for so long.
"Sorry for the wait,"
Looking at the middle-aged man who was examining the candy wrapper, Lin Fang spoke warmly. He then took two more G1 Gene Repair Serums from his pocket and placed them directly in front of Zheng Guofeng as if they were worthless.
"These are meeting gifts for you."
Zheng Guofeng's hand trembled. He forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and ignored the two serums on the table. The more important goal of this trip was to figure out who the person in front of him was.
"Mr. Xie Ming, I am Zheng Guofeng, from..." Zheng Guofeng spoke cautiously. Xie Ming was precisely the name of the old man before him.
At least, it was the name on record.
This position was enough to act as a messenger. Lin Fang patiently finished listening to him and chose not to beat around the bush, saying directly:
"Director Zheng, you can call me Lin Fang. I'm a businessman, and I want to make a deal with you."
A businessman?
Zheng Guofeng noted how the old man referred to himself, but still instinctively asked, "What deal?"
An icon in the warehouse disappeared.
Lin Fang handed him the tablet that had suddenly appeared, his smile still as warm as before, just like a qualified businessman:
"A hope, or perhaps a choice."
"Director Zheng can take a look."
Zheng Guofeng's pupils suddenly constricted. That usually composed face was now filled with shock; he had clearly seen that recording device appear out of thin air in the old man's hand.
What was even more unbelievable to Zheng Guofeng was the current content on the tablet.
"Is... is this real?"
...
The next day,
The group talking with Lin Fang had changed to another set of people—the true power holders of this country. Behind several of them, Lin Fang also heard a name, Zhou Zhezhi, who seemed to have rushed back from the United Government headquarters in Ecuador.
The location had also changed from the small dilapidated house to a heavily guarded conference room.
"Incredible. Parallel worlds... actually exist, and they are two different worlds," the steady and majestic old man at the head said slowly as he looked at the screen.
On the screen were the introductions to resident evil and Venom World. Inside, a black-haired, black-eyed young man was holding a selfie stick, pitching the benefits of immigration to them.
He even affectionately called them 'family members of the wandering earth' one by one.
After watching, the old man asked with curiosity, "Mr. Lin Fang looks very young. Are you also from Central Continent?"
"Of course, a genuine person of Central Continent," Lin Fang revealed a smile with only three teeth, "just from another world."
Hearing his words, everyone present was shocked. There were actually other parallel worlds.
Another old man in military uniform spoke up, his face gentle and kind, with a friendly manner: "Then what does young comrade Lin Fang need?"
Lin Fang scratched his head somewhat sheepishly and said euphemistically, "Leader, I want everything that catches my eye."
"Otherwise, I'll have to resort to snatching them later."
He didn't have many virtues, but Lin Fang felt his honesty was quite prominent.
"..."
As the words fell,
The conference room instantly fell into a dead silence, the air seemingly freezing into ice in an instant.
