Chapter 1242
At this time every day, the lab staff go to the cafeteria to collect their dinner.
Lin Wei was the only one left in the laboratory.
The storage room has the highest concentration of volatile solvents, and even a small spark can trigger an explosion.
In that case, Lin Wei will be deemed to have caused the accident due to operational error.
No one suspected him, and no one even thought it was an assassination.
A perfect "accident".
At this time, my sister would have dinner with my parents, because my brother-in-law and I had irregular patrol and training schedules, so we didn't have to wait for them.
Therefore, the older sister wouldn't have time to "perceive" what's happening here.
Mu Mu withdrew her gaze, turned around, and disappeared into the shadows of the stairwell.
He needed to first confirm the entrance to the ventilation duct to ensure that tonight's operation would go perfectly.
The stairwell was filled with the smell of rust and dust, and the cement floor underfoot was full of potholes.
He walked very lightly, like a stalking cheetah, precisely avoiding any noisy pebbles with each step.
As he passed the second floor, he suddenly stopped.
Very light footsteps came from behind, carrying a hint of hesitation and a hint of urgency.
Mu Mu slowly turned around, her hands behind her back, her fingertips already pressing on the clasp of the cigarette case.
In the dim light, Xiaoxue stood at the top of the stairs, her face pale.
"Mumu..." Xiaoxue's voice trembled, "What are you going to do?"
Mu Mu's eyes darkened: "This is none of your business. Go back now."
Xiaoxue shook her head, took two steps forward, her eyes full of pleading: "I saw you. You've been keeping an eye on the research institute these past few days, and you've come here several times..."
"You, you're planning to harm Dr. Lin Wei, aren't you?"
Mu Mu looked around from behind her and saw that there was no one there.
Xiaoxue is now the only one who knows the truth!
He didn't speak, he just stared at her.
His eyes were cold, filled with a ruthlessness honed in the apocalypse, which made Xiaoxue shiver involuntarily.
But she still mustered her courage and continued, "Mumu, you can't kill her! You really can't!"
"She deserves to die." Mu Mu's voice was completely calm.
"But the research she's doing now can save everyone!" Xiaoxue cried out in distress.
"I helped organize data at the research institute and learned about the progress of high-temperature coatings. Dr. Lin Wei said that in another half month, we will be able to make stable high-temperature coatings using boiling point alloys!"
Mu Mu frowned slightly but did not reply.
"Do you know what this means?" Xiaoxue leaned forward, her voice trembling slightly with excitement. "Right now, the seawater temperature is over 100 degrees Celsius, making it impossible for ships to go out to sea. But with this high-temperature coating, the hull can resist the high temperatures and salt spray corrosion. Then, all the ships will be usable! We won't be trapped on this island anymore!"
“Dr. Lin Wei is the core of this project. Professor Wang Ping said that only she can accurately adjust the proportion of boiling point alloys, and no one else can do it. If we kill her, this research will come to a complete standstill.”
Mu Mu's eyes flickered.
The jawline, which had been taut with fierceness, relaxed almost imperceptibly for a moment.
The high-temperature coating can save everyone and allow ships to sail out of the island that has trapped them.
But this wavering lasted only a moment.
Lin Wei knew her sister's secret; that was an indisputable fact.
Someone who is obsessed with studying other people's talents and even wants to find experts to forcibly intervene, may put Zhou Shuwan aside for the sake of scientific research today, but if the research hits a bottleneck tomorrow, or if a better opportunity comes along, her sister will definitely become her "experimental sample" again.
This hidden danger is like a malignant tumor clinging to the bone.
His hand, hanging by his side, was still tightly gripping the metal cigarette case.
He looked up at Xiaoxue, his eyes filled with impatience and indifference: "You shouldn't have come here, and you shouldn't have interfered in my affairs."
Xiaoxue's tears fell even harder, but she still stubbornly raised her head: "I'm not interfering in your business, I just don't want you to do anything wrong! Mumu, if we kill Lin Wei, we'll really have no chance to go to sea! Do you want us to be trapped in this fortress for the rest of our lives?"
