Under One Person, Golden Light Transforms into God

The news of Zhang Huaidan's arrival swept through the South China branch building like a gust of wind.

Liao Zhong, as the head of the South China branch, held considerable authority in South China and was deeply respected. However, no one is perfect, and nothing is without its flaws. If you really want to find fault with someone, you can find something to criticize.

Some senior cadres in the branches were not very satisfied with Liao Zhong's leadership.

Although they dare not confront each other directly on a regular basis, they will inevitably sabotage each other behind the scenes.

Hearing others vividly describe the close relationship between Liao Zhong and Zhang Huaidan, these secretly dissatisfied individuals all felt a chill run down their spines.

As senior executives, these people naturally possess a higher level of information accuracy than ordinary employees. They clearly understand that, given Zhang Huaidan's current momentum, the future of the supernatural world belongs to him alone, and this is not just empty talk.

As a result, her mindset quietly changed, and she became much more supportive of Liao Zhong's work, no longer daring to secretly hinder him.

Of course, these are all things to follow.

Liao Zhong is currently leading Zhang Huaidan on a rapid journey to the South China Fortress.

Liao Zhong sighed repeatedly in the car: "The Gu poison in Chen Duo's body is getting stronger and stronger. The protective suits we made before are no longer effective. We can only isolate her in a separate protective room in the bunker."

Chen Duo nowadays is practically a human gas canister, poisoning wherever she goes.

Inside the bunker, there were considerable voices calling for Chen Duo to be disposed of humanely.

Liao Zhong was under considerable pressure and was on the verge of collapsing, so he contacted Zhang Huaidan.

I didn't expect him to arrive first.

Liao Zhong winked and gave a knowing smile: "I think you and Chen Duo are on the same wavelength!"

Zhang Huaidan glanced at him: "You're about to become a father, and you're still so frivolous."

Liao Zhong stroked his thick, stiff beard: "I'm just stating the facts."

Zhang Huaidan also knew that he was shameless.

The tone shifted abruptly: "Inside the bunker, who suggested that Chen Duo be dealt with humanely?"

Liao Zhong's expression changed several times: "Master, don't be angry. As long as I'm here, I will never let anything happen to Chen Duo!"

Zhang Huaidan remained expressionless.

……

They arrived at the South China Fortress without any obstacles.

"Chief Liao, you've finally arrived! And this gentleman..."

A researcher dressed in white, with a panicked expression, approached with quick, small steps.

“Sun Kai, this is Master Huai Dan.” The researcher named Sun Kai nodded: “Hello, Master. I’m currently in charge of monitoring the concentration of Gu poison in Chen Duo’s body.”

Zhang Huaidan didn't waste any words: "What's the situation now?"

Sun Kai's face immediately darkened: "To be honest, Chen Duo's condition is extremely dangerous. The protective suit can no longer contain the spread of her Gu poison, and the potency of the poison has reached an alarming level. Just a tiny bit is enough to kill an adult African elephant!"

As he spoke, Sun Kai's heart began to race: "Right now, we have to be extremely careful even when delivering food. If even a trace of poisonous fog is released, it will be a serious blow to the bunker. Also, because Director Zhou advocated..."

Liao Zhong repeatedly gave him meaningful glances, and Sun Kai, at least not blind, stopped making a sound and gave an awkward smile.

Zhang Huaidan frowned: "How could such a big change happen in just a few months?"

Liao Zhong said in a low voice, "Based on our speculation, it is very likely related to Chen Duo turning eighteen and coming of age."

As the three walked toward Chen Duo's protective room, they discussed Chen Duo's situation. Along the way, the other researchers in the bunker were whispering among themselves, and several of them looked hurried, as if they were going to inform someone.

"adult?"

Sun Kai took a deep breath: "That's right, the real person knows that the so-called Gu-body Holy Child of the Medicine Immortal Society is actually a culture dish for Gu, equivalent to a human-shaped 'Gu' worm."

When it came to his professional field, his eyes gleamed with a cold, confident light:
“Every living thing has a growth period. The five poisonous creatures we are familiar with are not so toxic in their infancy. It is only after they grow up that they become truly terrifying poisonous insects.”

"We don't know Chen Duo's exact birth date, but just a few days ago, the Gu poison in her body suddenly erupted, which was beyond everyone's expectations."

Sun Kai felt a wave of fear wash over him:
"Director Zhou was farsighted enough to move Chen Duo to the protective room beforehand; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Sun Kai's trembling expression seemed genuine, and Zhang Huaidan's heart sank slightly.

I never expected so many changes to happen during this period.

Logically speaking, with the Qi circulation method of the Medicine Immortal Society, Chen Duo should be able to control the concentration of the Gu poison she emits to a certain extent.

With the addition of the special protective suit from the Dark Fortress, she can become just like a normal person.

However, man proposes, God disposes; who could have imagined that today's turn of events would occur?

Sun Kai glanced at Zhang Huaidan cautiously: "The situation is not good now. Originally, it was estimated that Chen Duo might live to be thirty years old, but now, it's unlikely she'll even live to be twenty."

Chen Duo's Gu poison is rooted in her internal organs and transforms the Qi within her body to disperse.

Qi is the foundation of human life, and once the poison is transformed, it can no longer nourish the body.

Every minute and every second, Chen Duo's life was rapidly fading away.

Sun Kai said in a low voice, "We speculate that from the moment Chen Duo came of age, the Gu Child was fully mature. The people of the Medicine Immortal Society will do everything they can to exploit the Gu Child until the Gu Child dies completely."

Liao Zhong said bitterly, "These are inhuman creatures! We let them die too easily back then!"

As they talked, the three of them arrived at the protective room.

The protective room was about 20 square meters in size and contained a single bed. Through the one-way glass, Zhang Huaidan saw Chen Duo sitting quietly on the bed.

If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. In the air of the protective room, a faint black poison lingered, drifting like ribbons.

Looking at the ribbons made of poisonous Gu, Sun Kai felt a chill run down his spine: "These are the ones. Their toxicity is so potent that just a single strand can kill an adult African elephant."

The vitality of extraordinary people is undoubtedly stronger than that of ordinary people, but it is still far inferior to that of the largest land animals.

To put it bluntly, if Chen Duo were to leave the protective room, the Gu poison she naturally emitted would be enough to destroy the Dark Fortress.

Sun Kai said helplessly, "Master Huai Dan, the Gu poison emanating from Chen Duo will only become stronger day by day. We are now basically in a dead end. No one dares to let her out. If she doesn't come out, we will not be able to conduct targeted research on stronger protective clothing."

"Ah."

Zhang Huaidan gave a casual reply, observing Chen Duo inside the protective room.

After a few months apart, she had really grown up a lot. The childishness between her brows had faded, but the clarity in her green eyes remained unchanged.

At this moment, Chen Duo, who was like a puppet, turned her head slightly.

Her pale, paper-white face evoked pity, while the faint doubt in her clear green eyes was like ripples on a calm, blue sea.

Liao Zhong waved his hand at Sun Kai, who was about to speak again, and said softly, "Master Huai Dan, look, I told you that you and Chen Duo are on the same wavelength. It seems that she has noticed you!"

Zhang Huaidan smiled slightly: "I understand what you've said. Open the door, I'll go in and see him." Liao Zhongxiao was startled: "Huaidan, shouldn't we reconsider?"

Sun Kai felt a chill run down his spine: "Real person, were you even listening to what I just said?!"

He didn't care about respect or anything like that. As a researcher, he knew better than Liao Zhong what kind of deadly poison was emanating from Chen Duo's body at this moment!

"A single wisp is enough to kill an adult African elephant. Look closely, the poison in the room is the Gu poison that Chen Duo has accumulated over several days!"

Sun Kai's heart was pounding.

Zhang Huaidan is such an irrational person. Isn't making such a request tantamount to suicide?

Zhang Huaidan may have a great reputation and high strength, but so what?
Gu poison doesn't reason with you!
In the past few days, the Dark Fortress has been conducting targeted research on gas masks and protective clothing that can purify Chen Duo's increasingly potent Gu poison.

Only after these two devices are successfully developed can we access Chen Duo while ensuring our own safety, and continue to research protective measures to match her.

There is currently no progress on either of these two models.

No one inside the bunker dared to touch Chen Duo. Zhang Huaidan's current demands were simply outrageous!

Liao Zhong hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Huai Dan, Chen Duo's Gu poison is much stronger now than before!"

Zhang Huaidan remained calm: "It's alright, just open it."

Liao Zhong hesitated greatly. Sun Kai, seeing his expression, was startled: "Boss, Master Huai Dan hasn't seen the parameters of Chen Duo's Gu poison. Don't follow suit!"

Looking at Zhang Huaidan, he said earnestly, "Master, no matter how exaggerated I am, you probably won't believe me. Let the facts speak for themselves. Please come with me and take a look at the parameters of Chen Duo's Gu poison, and you'll understand!"

Seeing his serious expression, Zhang Huaidan chuckled: "It's alright, I'm confident."

Seeing this, Liao Zhong gritted his teeth and was about to speak.

What makes you so confident?

A sharp female voice forcefully interrupted, and the group looked over to see an elderly woman, around sixty years old, with a gloomy expression, striding towards them.

Sun Kai gave an awkward smile: "Director Zhou."

Liao Zhong's expression was also somewhat unnatural: "Huai Dan, let me introduce you. This is the foreign aid I requested from headquarters. She is currently a chief researcher at the South China Fortress. Her name is Zhou Huijuan."

Liao Zhong's feelings were hard to describe.

He had previously thought that Zhang Huaidan always claimed he could solve Chen Duo's problem, but there had been no progress over the years.

of course.

He wasn't doubting Zhang Huaidan's abilities; he was mainly thinking about whether he could contribute in any way.

How happy Zhang Huaidan would be if he came to South China one day and found that all of Chen Duo's problems had been solved.

With this in mind, he submitted a report seeking help.

Actually, he didn't have high expectations.

Unexpectedly, a Zhou Huijuan actually came to provide assistance. She is highly accomplished in biology, genetics, psychology, and surgery.

then……

Liao Zhongshi didn't know what to say, and could only feel a headache coming on.

"You're Zhang Huaidan?"

The old lady was only about 1.6 meters tall, but she looked as if she were standing on a high place looking down.

Zhang Huaidan nodded slightly: "Hello."

Liao Zhong lowered his voice: "Director Zhou, this is Master Huai Dan. Even if it is Chairman Zhao Fangxu, he should still be treated with basic respect."

Having done so much research over the years, Zhou Huijuan is certainly not stupid; she knows that Liao Zhong's words make sense.

But even if there's some truth to it, does seeing her mean Zhao Fangxu is disrespectful?

"Liao Zhong, I'm talking to him, you don't need to interrupt."

Liao Zhong had a look on his face that said, "I've been screwed over."

Zhou Huijuan continued, "Do you know what kind of life this girl is living?"

Zhou Huijuan pointed at Chen Duo in the one-way glass with a cold expression.

"Director Zhou..."

Zhou Huijuan said coldly, "Please shut your mouth."

Liao Zhong's face twitched.

Since Zhou Huijuan arrived, Sun Kai has become practically invisible, frantically wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Liao Zhong was somewhat annoyed: "I was just reminding Director Zhou of your tone. If you have something to say, you can speak to Master Huaidan calmly. Don't put on this kind of attitude!"

Liao Zhong seems easy to get along with, and he is indeed that way, but he is not without his own temper.

If it were anyone else chattering away here, they would have been sent away by him long ago.

However, Zhou Huijuan is different. She is one of the veterans who can be considered to know everything. Although she is not involved in management, she has been working on research systems for many years and has developed a lot of high technology. She is a great contributor to the company.

As the person in charge of South China, he was somewhat outmatched in front of others.

Zhou Huijuan said coldly, "Zhang Huaidan, you are highly skilled and respected by many, but in my eyes, you are just a kid. Is that a problem?"

Liao Zhong was even more annoyed and was about to speak.

Zhang Huaidan waved his hand: "I hope the elders will discuss the matter objectively. Why do you hold such a big prejudice against me?"

Liao Zhong looked somewhat helpless, but Zhou Huijuan calmed down upon seeing this: "As expected of someone with such a great reputation, you are remarkably composed for your young age. However, you have not yet answered my question."

Zhang Huaidan shook his head: "You're being overly emotional and can't stick to the principle of sticking to the facts."

Sun Kai, who had become invisible, was taken aback. In all these days, this was the first person he had seen who dared to talk back to Director Zhou. No wonder that person was real!
Seeing Zhou Huijuan's wide eyes, Liao Zhong also felt strange.

However, this Director Zhou is not someone who is easily persuaded.

"Sharp-tongued!" Zhou Huijuan retorted without any politeness, "I think you simply don't know, that's why you're making up this excuse!"

She spoke faster and faster, her thin, wrinkled lips moving like a fish in flight: "Let me tell you, Xiao Chen's life consists of eating, daydreaming, and sleeping! She doesn't know what path she should take in this life, doesn't understand what a dream is, and has no desire to realize it! Even the most superficial things like eating, drinking, and having fun can't bring her any joy or ease! She has absolutely no pleasure in living as a human being!"

Zhou Huijuan became more and more excited as she spoke, and her hair even stood on end:
"If that were all, it wouldn't be so bad. Do you know what kind of torment she has to endure in order to control the poison in her body? Every moment, every second, she can't escape it even when she's sleeping!"

Zhou Huijuan's voice was firm and her eyes were moist:

"She was an accident to this world. If it weren't for you, she would have left this world long ago!" (End of Chapter)
