What exactly are you trying to do?
Ren Man, standing beside Gao Xiaoyan, wanted to ask the same question. So did Zhao Jie, who had entered Bird Tower as soon as Xu Huo put away the spatial barrier item, only to be held on the second floor.
Unlike Ren Man, who had been caught off guard, Zhao Jie had been there since Xu Huo confronted Luo Changren, and his heart was already half-frozen. Xu Huo and Luo Changren were outsiders, and he was being held inside Bird Tower. What he'd heard might not be true, but Gao Xiaoyan's attitude now was enough to make anyone suspicious.
"Before I left Government Hall, I said I'd help Mayor Gao with this." Xu Huo smiled slightly. "I'm simply keeping my promise."
"You should know Bird Tower's password. Wasn't Bird Tower preserved so it could be used to save people?"
"Is what you're holding a real antidote?" Gao Xiaoyan wasn't stupid. "The SE virus isn't hereditary, and it appeared by chance. As far as I know, Luo Changren headed straight for Bird Tower after arriving at W37. The antidote must have been hidden there long ago, right? So far, not a single Base City in the Base Station has developed an antidote to the SE virus. Can his antidote be trusted?"
"Besides, he's not trustworthy. The Evolution Potions he once claimed could improve genes turned out to damage them. How do I know this won't end up repeating the SE virus incident?"
That was what any reasonable person would think. They didn't even need to verify whether the antidote was genuine. The mere fact that it had come from Luo Changren was reason enough to doubt it.
"That's easy. We'll find someone to try it," Xu Huo said, offering a suggestion Gao Xiaoyan couldn't
