Soon.
Song Anni brought the conversation back on track.
She looked at Zhou Yuan and asked:
"So, Dr. Zhou, how soon can you develop this Universal Antitoxin Vaccine?"
"Captain Song, that's really hard to say."
Zhou Yuan sounded somewhat discouraged. "As you know, the Rat God Cult's rat poison keeps mutating and evolving, while conventional vaccines take a long time to develop. We might develop an effective vaccine today, only for the rat poison to mutate and evolve tomorrow, rendering the vaccine completely useless."
"Unless I can isolate the essence of its toxicity from their rat poison and target it at the source."
"Then I might actually be able to develop this so-called Universal Antitoxin Vaccine."
After saying that, he added, "Well, to be more precise, a universal vaccine against rat poison."
"Is it that difficult?"
Song Anni slightly furrowed her slender brows, really wanting to call Zhou Yuan a useless piece of trash.
Unfortunately, Zhou Yuan belonged to the R&D Department, not her Monster Assault Team.
Otherwise, she would have shouted herself hoarse tonight, tearing him a new one.
She would have demanded to know whether zombies had eaten his brain, and how developing a vaccine against rat poison could take so long without any results.
She reined in her urge to curse a little.
Song Anni spoke again. "Dr. Zhou, please develop the Universal Antitoxin Vaccine as soon as possible. Those human traitors in the Rat God Cult have been getting more and more active lately. I suspect they might be planning something big soon."
"All right, I'll do my best."
Zhou Yuan nodded in response.
No sooner had he finished than he asked another question:
"By the way, Captain Song, I need more samples to develop the Universal Antitoxin Vaccine. Could you collect some more of that
