Chapter 134 A Grand Acid Rain Event
Night falls.
The Dingfeng Biotechnology Building in Changxiang City was brightly lit.
In the top-floor CEO's office, Lin Feng stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, holding a glass of red wine, overlooking the city's night view.
A smug smile played on his face.
"Boss, the plan was a success." A subordinate in a lab coat was reporting to him. "Our 'genetic dust mite' has been successfully released. According to the surveillance cameras we installed near Renxin Pharmacy, the pharmacy closed after 10 a.m. this morning. Everyone inside seems to have had a severe allergic reaction."
"Very good." Lin Feng took a sip of red wine, a smile playing on his lips. "That Wang Minyu, does he really think he's a miracle doctor? All his skills rely on those mutated plants. Now, we'll cut off his roots. I want to see what tricks he can pull without those flowers and plants."
"Boss is brilliant," the subordinate flattered. "However, regarding Qin Xue... should we continue to observe her?"
"Of course." Lin Feng's eyes turned cold. "She's a very good experimental subject. The reaction of 'Forgetful River' on her is quite interesting. Once she's completely useless, we'll dispose of her and turn her into a specimen."
"Yes."
Just then, the office door was pushed open.
A security guard rushed in, looking flustered.
"President Lin, something terrible has happened! There's...there's been an accident outside!"
"What's the panic!" Lin Feng frowned in displeasure. "Is the sky falling down?"
"It's more bizarre than the sky falling down!" The security guard pointed out the window, his voice trembling. "You...you'll see for yourself!"
Lin Feng walked to the window, puzzled.
In the plaza downstairs from the company building, a hand tractor had appeared... at some point.
Several large sprayers, resembling agricultural pesticide sprayers, were mounted on the back of the tractor.
A bald, burly man, nearly two meters tall and as strong as a bear, was carrying a huge nozzle and frantically spraying a dark green liquid onto their building.
The liquid traced eerie arcs in the night sky, like a localized, intensely acidic "acid rain" pouring down on the building's glass curtain wall.
"What is that thing?" Lin Feng was stunned.
Before he could react, he smelled an extremely pungent odor that had seeped in through the central air conditioning vent.
It was a blend of the coolness of mint, the tangy sourness of medicinal vinegar, and the... indescribable taste of a plant that had been boiled.
"Cough cough cough!" Lin Feng coughed repeatedly, choked by the cough.
The other people in the office also covered their mouths and noses.
"Quick! Turn off the fresh air system!" Lin Feng shouted.
But it was too late.
That smell, as if it had a life of its own, permeated everything.
Even more terrifying, as he inhaled the smell, Lin Feng suddenly felt an excruciating itch in his nose!
"Achoo! Achoo!"
He started sneezing uncontrollably, and tears and snot streamed down his face.
It felt like hundreds of ants were having a party in his nostrils.
"What's wrong? My nose...it's so itchy! It's killing me with itchiness!" Lin Feng frantically rubbed his nose, looking completely disheveled, hardly resembling an elite CEO.
The office instantly descended into chaos.
Everyone started sneezing and rubbing their eyes like crazy; it was as if they had all been hit by some kind of biological weapon.
……
Downstairs in the building.
Wang Minyu sat in the passenger seat of the tractor, leisurely sipping hot tea from a thermos.
"Boss, does this thing really work?" Zhao Shihao asked excitedly as he drove.
This was the first time he had ever driven a tractor and done something so thrilling.
"Don't worry." Wang Minyu blew on the steam in his cup. "They used a modified version of dust mites, and we used a modified version of mint. I added ten times the concentration of mutated mint extract to that pot of water and used medicated vinegar as a catalyst. This stuff won't affect ordinary people, but for those who have been exposed to 'genetic dust mites,' it's the most potent allergen."
"Fight poison with poison?" Li Siyuan, holding the sprayer in the back compartment, suddenly realized.
"No, this is called 'using their own methods against them.'" Wang Minyu looked at the panicked figures upstairs with icy eyes. "Don't they like to develop biological weapons? Then I'll let them taste what a real 'dimensional reduction attack' is like."
This spectacular "acid rain" lasted for a full half hour.
Guan Shan finished spraying all the "specially made mint fairy water" from several large buckets before finally putting away the spray nozzle with satisfaction.
Inside the Peak Biotechnology Building, there was a cacophony of wailing and howling.
The sound of an ambulance siren grew louder as it approached.
"That's a wrap," Wang Minyu said casually.
Zhao Shihao stepped on the gas, and the hand tractor roared to life. Amidst the astonished gazes of countless passersby, it turned around gracefully and disappeared into the night.
Back at the pharmacy, everyone's allergy symptoms had disappeared.
Su Qing took a sample of the "Peppermint Miracle Water" and observed it under a microscope.
"Boss, what did you add to it?" She looked up, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"The jar of vinegar that Old Wu's fermentation failed, and the lemon leaves Pierre used to remove the fishy smell," Wang Minyu replied casually.
But Su Qing knew that it was not that simple.
Under the microscope, she saw some extremely tiny, crystal-like substances.
Those substances seem to resonate with the protein shell of the "genetic dust mite" in a peculiar way, thus triggering a chain reaction.
This is beyond the scope of explanation by either traditional Chinese medicine or Western medicine.
This is... a complete crushing defeat on a biological level.
"Boss," Su Qing paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Do you... know magic?"
Wang Minyu paused in his tea-drinking motion, glancing at her. "Do you think someone who knows magic would need to run a pharmacy to make money?"
"That's true." Su Qing nodded and didn't ask any further questions.
Everyone has secrets.
As long as the boss is still the boss, that's enough.
The next day, the headlines of local news in Changxiang City were dominated by a bizarre story.
Shocking! The Peak Biotechnology Building was attacked by an unidentified liquid; hundreds of employees experienced severe allergic reactions, suspected to be a terrorist attack!
