Chapter 1234: Easier Said Than Done
Not only had the president resisted this temptation, but he also foresaw the endless disasters that could be brought about by this temptation and made the right judgment in time. This was not an easy feat and any leader could achieve.
Although s.h.i.+ Maocheng disagreed with this statement, flattering the president was his priority. He quickly added, “The president is indeed farsighted. I was too short-sighted. I only saw the immediate benefits but not the long-term benefits. Commander Nangong is right. Something like this can never stay hidden forever. One day, other countries will find out about it. Once everyone gets a hold of this technology on a large scale, it will be a disaster for mankind.”
The president glanced at s.h.i.+ Maocheng. “It’s good that you’re able to realize the importance of this problem. A hospital is a place for medical research. Our goal is to allow more people to escape the torture that illnesses bring upon us and improve the quality of our citizens’ lives. As for such malicious acts, it’s improper for a sacred place like the Medic a.s.sociation Hospital to even consider it.”
s.h.i.+ Maocheng said fearfully, “Yes, Mr. President. I’ll keep that in mind.”
“However, these test subjects have already surfaced. Even if we don’t do the experiments on them, we still have to research the antidote that can counter the bugs, or rather, drugs and weapons that can restrain the bugged people. Before we can ensure full control over the source, we must stop their production flow as much as possible to prevent any of them from harming the people in our country.”
“Yes, sir.” s.h.i.+ Maocheng agreed amiably. “Don’t worry, Mr. President. The hospital will do our best to develop the antidote to the bugged people.”
The president nodded. “Okay, I have high expectations of the medical experts in the Medic a.s.sociation Hospital.
“So, you should take these two and keep them in the Medic a.s.sociation Hospital.”
s.h.i.+ Maocheng was stunned. “Only two? Why didn’t you capture more? I heard that you destroyed an entire village this time!”
“That’s because capturing them is difficult. It’s not bad that we managed to capture two.”
“But two? That’s too little. The president wants us to start our research as fast as we can. How about you capture another group of test subjects?”
Chi Yang did not get angry at s.h.i.+ Maocheng’s irritating words. He maintained his serious expression. “Director s.h.i.+, you saw how vicious these bugged people are just now. If we don’t blast them in the head, or even if we shot their hearts, they can still attack people as if they’re not injured before their blood runs out. They’re not only aggressive and unafraid of being injured, but they also have the numbers. When we captured them, they greatly outnumbered us. Under those harsh conditions, we could only capture them while focusing on self-defense. Therefore, capturing two of them is already our hard limit. Also, these people are KE’s killers. KE is every country’s nightmare because they’re not easy to capture. I hope you understand.”
Even though it was just a factual explanation, everyone realized that s.h.i.+ Maocheng was being unreasonable after hearing the explanation.
“So, that’s how it is! Then, I’ve blamed Lieutenant General Chi wrongly. So… if you capture similar criminals next time, please send them to the hospital immediately.”
Nangong Shu, who had been standing at the side, finally b.u.t.ted in. “Eagle is the top special forces in Camino. Chi Yang is your equal. If you need people, Eagle can tell you where to get them and you can find your own escort. Why did you ask Eagle to send them to you?”
