"What's wrong?"
Lenoya Sala looked at the bodyguard who entered, a look of confusion on her face.
"For some reason, your shuttle may be delayed by two days," the bodyguard explained as he entered.
"What's happe--... I understand."
Lenoya Sala was about to ask further when a flash of inspiration struck her, as if she had thought of something.
After all, she was Patrigar Sala's wife. Even though she wasn't involved in military or political affairs, she knew many things through osmosis.
Lenoya Sala collected her thoughts and turned to Sister Aya with a smile, "I'm truly sorry, but due to special circumstances, I may have to trouble you for a few more days."
"Dr. Lenoya, what are you saying? Without your assistance, it's uncertain if Spark Orphanage would even exist. So, please stay as long as you wish," Sister Aya quickly replied.
This wasn't flattery; Spark Orphanage was indeed initiated and built by Lenoya Sala.
"Sister Aya, you flatter me. I only did what I should have done," Lenoya Sala replied, shaking her head. She didn't consider initiating the construction of Spark Orphanage a great achievement.
Putting aside her identity as the wife of a congressman, the establishment of the experimental fields here alone was enough reason for her to do so.
Watching Lenoya Sala walk towards the orphanage building, Noer, standing in the crowd, felt his whole body go numb.
Lenoya Sala wasn't leaving?
Was she messing with him?
What if she stayed until February 14th? Wouldn't that be the end of everything?
However, there was still room for maneuver. After all, she was only delayed by a few days, so the problem shouldn't be too big.
I've even survived transmigration, so a mere nuclear bomb... shouldn't be a problem.
Besides, I have no ability to interfere with her decision. There's no solution other than to leave it to fate.
As night fell, Lenoya Sala sat in front of the computer in Sister Aya's room, beginning to analyze the data she had collected during the day.
Since she couldn't go back to conduct experiments, she could only analyze the seedling data on her own for now.
"Hmm?"
Lenoya Sala seemed to have discovered something in the data, a hint of undisguised surprise in her eyes. She couldn't help but put on her glasses to examine it closely.
A moment later, Lenoya Sala withdrew her gaze and reached out to press the pager beside her.
"Madam, is there something you need?" The bodyguard's voice soon came from the pager.
"Please contact the Gene Research Institute on January Colony and have them bring Gene Potion No. 4 when the shuttle arrives," Lenoya Sala said.
"Yes!"
"I hope I haven't made a mistake..."
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, four days went by.
In the Spark Orphanage cafeteria, Lenoya Sala was having breakfast with everyone.
Since Lenoya Sala's arrival, the orphanage's welfare and benefits had significantly improved, and the food had become much more sophisticated.
"Tap tap~"
Just then, a bodyguard in black entered the cafeteria carrying a coded briefcase.
"What is it?"
Lenoya Sala put down her chopsticks upon seeing this.
"Your shuttle has arrived."
"I understand. Let them rest for a day, and we'll leave the day after tomorrow."
Lenoya Sala glanced at the coded briefcase in the bodyguard's hand. After days of research, she found that Seedling No. 16 still had room for improvement, but there was insufficient data in many areas, requiring her to conduct experiments herself.
"Asya, pack your things too. We'll leave together on the shuttle the day after tomorrow," Lenoya Sala said as she stood up from her seat. "I have some things to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."
"Auntie Lenoya, what are you holding?" A cute Anna, sitting next to Lenoya Sala, asked curiously.
"Hmm? This... Hehe, it's a food seasoning. It just arrived, and I'm planning to test it," Lenoya Sala replied with a smile after a moment's pause.
"Seasoning? Is it delicious?" Anna licked her lips. As a foodie, she perked up at the mention of food!
"Hehe, of course. I'll make it for you myself later."
Lenoya Sala noticed Anna licking her lips, chuckled, and ruffled Anna's head. She then said to Asya and the others, "Please enjoy your meal, everyone. I have things to do, so I'll be leaving now!"
With that, she turned and left the cafeteria with the bodyguard.
"The day after tomorrow... Today is February 11th, so the day after tomorrow will be February 13th..."
Noer watched Asya's retreating figure and the direction Lenoya Sala had left, a sharp glint flickering in his eyes.
While he was relieved that Lenoya Sala would leave before February 14th, he had also made up his mind.
Lenoya Sala couldn't save them, or rather, she didn't dare to.
But Asya could still try to save them, after all, they were one of her few friends in this world.
The location and time of Lenoya Sala's death were the location and time of the nuclear bomb's detonation.
It wasn't that she brought the nuclear bomb; it was just that without any external intelligence, Lenoya Sala was the only way to determine the nuclear bomb's location.
Time flew by until the afternoon of 2/12.
"Still no use, could my calculations be wrong..."
Lenoya Sala looked at the analysis data in her hand, a hint of helplessness appearing on her face.
To grant Coordinators normal reproductive capabilities, PLANT had conducted research in various aspects to different degrees, and food was naturally included.
Of course, the food mentioned here wasn't something that could repair the genetic defects of Coordinators after eating it.
It was a neutralizing agent.
In fact, January Gene Lab had already provided a potion and theoretical methods to fix the reproductive issues of Coordinators.
Evolution!
Or genetic repair, or secondary post-natal adjustment.
However, directly injecting the gene potion was too dangerous, with too many uncertain factors involved, making it impossible to test directly on humans.
So they came up with a bold idea.
Since direct injection and modification with the potion was not feasible, could they use a slow method of modification within the human body's tolerance?
And they quickly came up with two proposals.
1: Small-dose human injection, but this suggestion was quickly rejected.
The gene potion was too potent and could potentially damage the human gene sequence; even a small dose would cause permanent damage to the body.
2: Oral medication, which was the method researchers favored more, but the problem was the same as above; the sequelae of the gene potion were unavoidable.
After much thought, they realized that without solving the problem of the gene potion's sequelae, any talk was in vain.
So they shifted their focus to how to resolve the sequelae.
What could neutralize the sequelae of the gene potion?
Unfortunately, nothing had been discovered yet, which led to the gene seedling experiments that Lenoya Sala was responsible for.
And this was also why Lenoya Sala had been moving between various colony satellites.
"But this is indeed the sample with the highest probability of solving the problem currently. It seems I'll have to stay here a few more days..."
Meanwhile, as Lenoya Sala was lost in thought looking at the gene potion on the table.
The unaware Noer was hiding in his room, secretly making his 'loving' food!
In his opinion, Lenoya Sala's departure from here was basically confirmed. After all, the shuttle was already arranged, so could there be any doubt?
From this, he could deduce that the colony satellite he was currently on was safe!
