Across Deep Space: Four Men and a Play

Chapter 298 Gene Agent 2

"Secondly, if there is no pain or other abnormality in the body after the injection, then it can be determined without testing that the drug is useless to the user, or that the user does not have the potential to awaken."

"Of course, most of the people we've met so far have potential."

However, not many people successfully awaken.

In fact, they had specially adjusted the bodies of the volunteers they recruited for a period of time before injecting the drugs, but even under such circumstances, the probability of successfully awakening was only about 60%.

Li Yue, however, discerned the underlying meaning in Si Nan's words: "So, there's a chance this potion might fail?"

Si Nan nodded. "Yes."

"What dangers or side effects might occur to the human body after failure?"

"No, the drug has been tested and is very safe. Even if the awakening fails after injection, the substances contained in it will be naturally excreted from the body within 2-5 days and will not cause any danger or burden to the human body."

"Furthermore, due to the special nature of the medicine, we have signed a guarantee agreement with Haihua Insurance, the largest insurance company in the city of Linkong, and the officially designated hospital."

A very reasonable after-sales guarantee agreement has been prepared for every user who purchases injectable medication.

Si Nan took out a document bearing the official seals of Huaxia Group, Haihua Insurance Company, the Z country government, and KOS Hospital and placed it on the big screen.

"This insurance is provided immediately upon purchase of the medication to protect the legal rights of the buyer, including but not limited to compensation for medical expenses incurred due to adverse reactions after medication use, and compensation for emotional distress, etc."

Li Yue looked at Si Nan with some surprise.

This was the first time she had ever heard of a pharmaceutical company offering insurance to its drug buyers.

Moreover, according to her, this insurance policy seems to be entirely beneficial to the purchaser.

Is this a sign of absolute confidence in one's own potion, or...?

But now it seems that, in every respect, this medicine is beneficial and harmless to the user.

But does such a medicine really exist, or is it something that ordinary people can only dream of?

She had overheard backstage that the potion was for everyone, but she couldn't believe that ordinary people would get it. Shouldn't it be reserved for the powerful and wealthy?

Just like the previous miracle drug....

"So, success will awaken your superpowers?" Gao Hai asked Si Nan.

"Yes, but different people and different constitutions react differently after the injection, so the degree of awakening varies from person to person."

Wow, this potion really works?

[Superpowers? I wonder what that would feel like, but it must be incredibly awesome. Look at that girl, her power is even stronger than Evolver's!]

While some have high expectations, many others hold opposing views.

[If such a drug existed, how could it possibly be available to us? Wake up, everyone, don't be fooled by the empty promises made by certain companies.]

[Yes, if it were that easy to make, how come even the top-ranked biotech giants haven't been able to do it? How could a newly emerging company possibly do it?]

[Yeah, and even Everver is subject to various restrictions and management. This new superhuman doesn't even have a management plan yet, and he seems stronger than Evolver. What if he becomes unstable and causes an even more terrible disaster?]

[That's true, but didn't we say before that the Evol Special Bureau and the Chinese Union anticipated this kind of thing and had compiled relevant management regulations and enforcement teams?]

You believe everything people say? Aren't you stupid?

Let alone how such a miraculously effective medicine could possibly be available to ordinary people like us?

Even if it existed, it would probably be incredibly expensive.

This statement has prompted much reflection among netizens. Indeed, in the past, once a pharmaceutical company developed a special drug, it was usually extremely expensive and even exclusively supplied to the government or foreign countries, ostensibly to contribute to the fight against homelessness. This has left people dissatisfied but unable to voice their opinions.

After all, those people were indeed working hard to protect humanity's last remaining place of survival.

What can ordinary people like them say?

[If you don't believe me, then get lost. I believe you, but if only this potion had appeared sooner... I would have bought it even if it meant going bankrupt. If I were lucky enough to awaken it, would my family have been spared that time the wandering creature attacked me...?]

This news immediately brought back memories for many people. Indeed, not long ago, a riot by homeless people broke out in the No. 14 hunting reserve in Mo City, attacking the surrounding cities and causing great casualties.

This could even be called the biggest homeless attack in recent years.

Despite the deployment of numerous special police officers and hunters by the Evol Special Bureau and the Hunter Association, it has been difficult to suppress the large number of wandering entities that have emerged.

There were even a few instances where things got out of control and almost caused a larger riot. At one point, a small team of dozens of people suddenly appeared and used power similar to Evol to crush and wipe out the difficult-to-deal-with wandering creatures.

Many people assumed it was those freedom-loving evolvers, but upon inquiry, they discovered it was an unfamiliar organization.

What so-called Chinese labor union?

It was around that time that the union first appeared in front of everyone, and then it appeared in various reports many times in a short period of time.

Supporting attacks by rogue creatures, hunting rogue creatures in protected areas, etc.

But those people always come and go without a trace and seem to be very busy or unwilling to communicate with others.

Very mysterious.

The person who posted that comment was the sole survivor of the attacked family. His claim of going bankrupt to buy [something] wasn't an exaggeration; his family happened to be the richest in Mo City. That day, the family had gone to their old house to pay respects...

As a result, this accident occurred, leading to the complete annihilation of the bodyguards.

His family also....

He had known for a long time that this drug was circulating on the black market, but he didn't believe it.

If he had known this day would come, he would have done everything he could to buy the potion, even if it was fake, it would have been better than having no hope at all. Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world.

"Ha, you're making this sound so real. Haven't you heard people say that potions have a failure rate? What if you're ugly and can't awaken anything even if you buy it?"

Hey, don't be so rude. Why are you envious of someone else's talent?

[This drug shouldn't have any dangerous side effects... How could a newly established pharmaceutical company possibly produce something that even Ever Group and other well-known pharmaceutical companies can't make...?]

I'm afraid it's all a lie...
