soon.

At the experts' request, a large number of people began to send various small experimental animals into it.

At this moment, everyone was incredibly excited.

Moose couldn't sit still any longer; she practically lay on the screen, as if trying to see through it all.

Inside the laboratory, each expert held a small vial of virus, then took a deep breath.

"Let's discuss now which method to try."

"Intravenous injection, intramuscular injection, or oral administration?"

"If you ask me, we should use all three at once!"

"Yes, we should use all three together. The more control groups we have, the more we can learn..."

Then, the next round of experiments began.

Chickens, ducks, cows, sheep, pigs, mice, rabbits, frogs, pigeons, and even cold-blooded animals like snakes.

Thirty animals of each species were infected with the virus using three different methods: intravenous injection, intramuscular injection, and oral administration.

Then, the experts held their breath, waiting silently and intently with their eyes fixed on the 'virus-infected' animals, awaiting the results.

However.

The result was completely different from what they had imagined.

"All the mice died, and those that were injected intravenously died suddenly, with blood gushing from their mouths, noses, ears, and even eyes!"

"All the pigeons are dead..."

"Oh no, the chickens and ducks are having problems too."

"Damn it, rabbits, pigs, snakes..."

"Everything has gone wrong!"

"Struggling!"

"A series of deaths..."

"They're all dead!"

The experts fell completely silent; the entire research room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

This result was completely different from what they had expected, leaving them all dumbfounded. Where were the promised enhanced cells? How could they all have died?!

So, in fact, this isn't the God's Flower, but the flower of Satan?!

"No, this can't be the Flower of Satan. Our previous research and speculations are correct. It can indeed strengthen human cells. We've all seen it with our own eyes!"

"Theoretically speaking, this kind of change should only make people stronger. How could it possibly turn into a flower of Satan, into poison, and kill living beings?"

"..."

"Perhaps our research is flawed?"

"No, it's too early to draw conclusions. In fact, I think we've gone in the wrong direction! Remember our research? The God's Flower only infects living human cells."

"Previously, there was no indication of infection in animal cells. Perhaps, for animals, the God's Flower is poison?"

"So, don't rush to conclusions, let's do the autopsies first! Let's see if the animals' bodies are infected!"

"If we get infected, it means there's probably something wrong with our research, and we need to refine it further, taking it slowly."

"But if they aren't infected... then it proves that our test subjects are unsuitable!"

"What should be used is not animals, but people!"

"Yes, that's it!"

"Dissect it!"

The experts never expected this!

At first, they all wanted to dissect cultivators, and they were all more excited and thrilled than the last.

But the result was...

The corpses of cultivators cannot be dissected at all.

Now, they're dissecting the small animal carcasses first.

They were all at a loss for words, but they were still full of energy and in a state of extreme excitement. They did not hesitate at all when they started dissecting.

Some senior experts and scholars, whose energy was failing, even injected themselves with stimulants to force themselves to stay alert!

As a result, their progress was naturally very fast.

After all, this research is not actually that difficult.

Take some relevant animal tissues, examine them under a microscope, and determine whether there is an infection...

Soon, the results came out one after another.

"Oral administration, without symptoms of infection with God's Flower *."

"Intravenous injection... no symptoms of infection with God's Flower."

"No symptoms of infection with God's Flower were observed after intramuscular injection."

"It can be confirmed at present that none of the animals are infected with God's Flower."

"Call..."

The experts breathed a sigh of relief.

"In that case, we don't need to worry too much."

"They didn't die from being infected with the God's Flower, but... they couldn't be infected by the God's Flower, and for them, the God's Flower was a kind of poison!"

"Yes, that's pretty much certain."

"Now we only have two paths in front of us."

At this moment, their leader, Page, an octogenarian virology expert Page in a deep voice.

"One!"

"According to normal procedures, we should be extremely cautious about viruses like the God's Flower,' which are completely unknown and may even come from 'higher dimensions,' and start from the details."

"Even before that, we should have a comprehensive understanding of it and develop a vaccine that can control it in advance before we can conduct human trials."

"Two!"

"Breaking all previous conventions, even skipping the animal testing phase, and starting human testing directly."

"It's risky because none of us can say for sure what will happen after we get infected with the virus. Although we all think it will be a good thing, it's all just speculation."

"If unforeseen changes occur and we do not have a vaccine to control the God's Flower, it will trigger an immeasurable disaster."

"..."

Everyone fell silent.

Then, someone suggested, "The first option is undoubtedly more rational, but I think not many people can resist their impulses these days, right?"

Many people nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

Isn't that right?

Regardless of how beautiful the female corpse in front of them was, the fact that her body was invulnerable to swords and spears and impervious to water and fire was enough to make them extremely envious and desireful.

And the God's Flower happens to be able to strengthen human cells...

Isn't it obvious?

This woman is so strong because she's infected with the God's Flower!

If you don't understand, that's fine.

Now that we have some understanding, how could we not be eager and excited?

The first option is indeed very rational. In the past, they would definitely have made the first option as well: to thoroughly study the God's Flower, develop a vaccine, and then begin human trials.

But now...

I can't stand it anymore!

Let's vote by raising our hands.

Dr. Paige sighed softly. He was old, but not conservative. On the contrary, he longed to live!

He longed for his name to be remembered for eternity, and at the same time, he was eager to see the 'fruits' of God's Flower as soon as possible.

After all, he's old, and nobody knows how many more years he has left to live. What if he suddenly kicks the bucket before a vaccine is developed?

Wouldn't that be too late?

"Let's vote by raising our hands."

"Good!"

They all raised their hands...

But the result.

Twenty to twenty, a tie.

"This..."

They looked at each other, completely bewildered.

Most people choose to be radical, while their partners believe they should be conservative...

At that moment, Bob's voice came through the communicator. "Guys, I think I should also have the right to vote, right?"

"Of course, Mr. Moose!"

Page spoke, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

Who is Moose?

The Vice President of the Capitalist Income Protection Guild, capitalists... capitalists, if there is enough profit, they will risk their lives.

So what about now?

Dr. Paige believes that Moose will definitely make a radical choice!

"I..."

Under Page's expectant gaze, Moose said with a hint of excitement, "Choose the second option!"

"We have witnessed the wonders of cultivators."

"For example, this female corpse, although it is dead, still cannot be destroyed!"

"From a scientific point of view, this means that all the cells in her body are incredibly strong!"

"And the God's Flower virus in her body can strengthen human cells, as you just tried."

"Cells infected with the God's Flower are at least several times stronger!"

"Isn't that enough to prove anything?"

"There may be some risks, but we, the Capitalist Income Protection Guild, are willing to bear them. I think even if Chairman Bob were here, he would make the same choice."

These words were spoken.

Many conservative experts rolled their eyes.

Nonsense!

Who is Bob?

"Handsome guy," "King of Knowledge"!

This guy is a fucking lunatic, what wouldn't he do? What could possibly scare him?

They would absolutely agree to radical measures at any moment!

"The vote is now 21 to 20. In that case, let's be more aggressive and prepare to conduct human experiments directly!"

"However, even if we are radical, we must ensure that nothing goes wrong!"

"The laboratory must be completely sealed off, and the researchers must be people we can trust."

"At the same time, Mr. Moose, I implore you to send a small army to suppress the situation. If the situation gets out of control, even if it means wiping out all of us researchers, we cannot allow the infected to get out of control!"

"Good!"

Moose nodded and issued an order. Within two or three minutes, a large number of soldiers with live ammunition rushed in.

Experts such as Page and Dailisi were speechless upon seeing this.

It seems they were already prepared!

People are all waiting outside. Even if we don't make this request, they definitely won't show any mercy if something unexpected happens, right?

This discovery weighed heavily on their minds.

No one wants to die, and no one wants to fail, but now... all that awaits them is failure.

"Let's select test subjects."

Someone made a suggestion.

Page, on the other hand, was relatively calm. He was already over eighty years old; how many more years could he live? What was there to be afraid of at this point?

"I'll do it!"

Page was the first to step forward. "I'm old, so even if something happens to me, it won't be a loss. Besides, as the one with the worst health among us, the difference will be the most obvious if anything changes."

"So I'll do it!"

Seeing this, the others had their own thoughts, but none of them spoke them aloud.

Then they began preparations.

"My suggestion is to administer it directly intravenously."

Page said, "Injection dosage... one gram!"

"After all, this is only the first test, we should proceed step by step..."

Following his instructions, the group tied him to the bed and fitted him with various instruments, preparing for the injection.
