Chapter 48 Constants and Variables

After Qiu Zhonglei was kicked out by Chu Yu, Bai Yue and the members of Team 13 surrounded him.

"Give me a full body check, quick!"

The team members wearing chemical protective suits lifted him up, but at this moment, Bai Yue stood in front of them.

"Report the situation inside!"

At this time, Qiu Zhonglei's mind was full of whether he was infected with the virus, so he had no time to report the situation.

Even though he knew that the antibodies in the fire snake's blood were effective, he was still worried.

When he first entered the ward, those old people looked very scary, with blood oozing from every pore. When he thought that he might have been infected with the virus, he wished he could cut Chu Yu and Yan Snake into pieces.

"Your men have teamed up with outsiders to kidnap us. That's it." Qiu Zhonglei snorted coldly and ordered his team members, "Guard the exit of the ward. If anyone comes out, capture them directly. If there is resistance, kill them on the spot."

At this point, Qiu Zhonglei seemed to have remembered something and added, "No, we can't kill them. Chu Yu, yes, Chu Yu, and the man called Yanshe. These two people have high-value information. We must capture them alive."

Bai Yue said coldly, "Qiu Zhonglei, it's not your turn to give orders here."

"The action team is independent of the branch command system. I am only giving orders to my team members. It has nothing to do with you!"

After he finished speaking, Qiu Zhonglei yelled at his men, "What are you standing there for? Take me for a comprehensive checkup, quickly!"

Bai Yue did not stop him. She looked at Qiu Zhonglei's departing back, a look of disdain flashing across her face.

She was too lazy to argue with Qiu Zhonglei. All she was thinking about now was how to deal with the difficult problems at hand.

After Qiu Zhonglei left, Bai Yue was a little troubled because she had no idea what was going on inside.

The communication was fruitless and we don't know what's going on inside. If we send more people in, it will probably be like throwing a meat bun at a dog and never come back.

Bai Yue wanted to go in, but there were still members of Team 13 here. If she went in, there would still be chaos without the on-site command outside.

After thinking for a moment, Bai Yue took out her cell phone and sent another message to Chu Yu.

...

Qiu Zhonglei is different from others, he values his life very much.

Deep down, he also believed that he was different from other peasants. He was born into a wealthy family. If he had not been weak and sickly since childhood, how could he have gone into the mountains and forests to become a Taoist priest and live on the food of wind and dew.

After more than ten years of hard work, he finally recovered his health, but his father asked him to join this crappy Public Affairs Safety Supervision Bureau.

Even though he is the captain of the action team, in fact, every time they deal with supernatural incidents, it is his brothers who risk their lives. As for him, the most he does is sit in the command vehicle and shout things out.

This time when I just arrived in Nangang, I suffered a big loss and was in a lot of trouble.

Lying on the hospital bed, Qiu Zhonglei cursed loudly because of the pain.

The blood results are out, he was not infected with any virus, or rather, he was infected, but it was purified after drinking the blood of the fire snake.

He didn't care what happened, as long as he didn't get infected with the virus.

The problem is that a Chinese orthopedic doctor came to the hospital just now and did reconnect his two arms, but the pain made him grimace in pain, and his two shoulders are still in excruciating pain.

After shouting and cursing for a while, the door of the ward was pushed open.

Qiu Zhonglei turned his head and his pupils shrank slightly after seeing who was coming.

"Ms. Rowling, why is it you?"

The woman called Miss Rowling was about thirty years old, with blonde hair, blue eyes, a proud figure, and a faint smile on her lips.

"Master Qiu is injured, so of course I have to come and take a look."

"How did you know I was injured?"

Rowling didn't say anything. She sat down beside the bed and slowly peeled an apple.

After cutting a small piece with a fruit knife, he handed it to Qiu Zhonglei's mouth.

"If you have something to say, speak up. There are too many people around."

"There's nothing to worry about. Your Grand Supervisor Bai is busy with his own business right now, so he has no time to care about you." Luo Lin played with the fruit knife and asked with a smile, "Master Qiu, how is the investigation going?"

"There is no clue yet. The clues you provided are too few."

Luo Lin pondered for a moment and then said, "I also don't have many clues. Three days ago, I sent Fang Musheng into the car. According to the plan, he should have arrived at the private airport in the suburbs within 30 minutes and finally left you. However, the car was stopped when entering the national highway. The driver is still missing and Fang Musheng is being detained in your Nangang branch."

"I haven't seen Fang Musheng yet. If the driver was just an ordinary person, it's impossible for him to disappear without a trace. This doesn't conform to the usual style of the Public Affairs Safety Supervision Bureau. I suspect Fang Musheng was not stopped by the branch."

“Even if he is not from the Nangang branch, at least he is related to the branch.”

Qiu Zhonglei didn't respond, because he had just arrived in Nangang today and hadn't checked anything yet. He was beaten up by Yanshe first, and then he was held hostage for more than two hours, and was tortured to death. "This matter is not urgent, but is there any progress on the other matter?"

Qiu Zhonglei raised his head with a puzzled expression, "Isn't it just an imaginary energy life form? Does it matter what it's called or how to call it?"

"Of course it's important. We just want to know who called this energy life form the Outsider. Hurry. If you can't even find this out, you, the enemy, will be of no value to our NH Company."

After saying that, Rowling stood up, turned and walked towards the door.

"Wait a minute." Qiu Zhonglei sat up from the bed, looked at Luo Lin who turned her head, and asked gloomily, "Our enemy is at least one of the wealthy families in the imperial capital. Why would my uncle cooperate with you, a group of overseas ghosts and monsters?"

"Cooperation?" Rowling chuckled and stretched out a finger to shake it slightly. "No, no, no, you think too highly of your family. It's not cooperation. In your words, your enemies are just chess pieces of ours. At present, it seems that you are at least valuable chess pieces."

Rowling walked back and sat down beside the bed again. She put away her smile and said coldly, "What your uncle is going to do is to introduce new seeds on a large scale, and what you have to do is to find out who said the words 'Outsider'. Do you understand?"

"My uncle told me that your NH company has been making a lot of money overseas. As for the new gene seeds you mentioned, I don't believe it is as simple as just increasing the yield. Because your NH company is not a good bird, how could it be so kind?"

Luo Lin smiled sweetly , "Is it important to you? Even if you knew the truth, the contract signing is already halfway done. Even if those seeds are extremely harmful, will you stop them? Even if you do, will your father and your family allow you to do so?"

Qiu Zhonglei's expression changed slightly. "The seeds are harmful. To whom are they harmful?"

"To everyone, everyone in your country!"

"What's the meaning?"

Rowling smiled and said, "Once this new type of gene seed is planted on a large scale, it will indeed cause permanent damage to arable land after a few years."

Qiu Zhonglei took a deep breath, "Then...how many people will starve to death?"

Although Qiu Zhonglei is a bit timid, he was born into a wealthy family after all, so he still has some vision.

He was well aware that starving people to death was one thing, but the chain reaction it caused could even destabilize the entire country.

An expression that Qiu Zhonglei couldn't tell flashed across Rowling's face.

"NH Company understands the meaning of life better than anyone else. I am fortunate to be a part of this big family." Rowling said softly, "Because we will be the actuaries of this world, actuaries for a better future."

“An actuary?”

"Yes, an actuary." Rowling said slowly, "Our mission is to help others relieve their pain, those who are sick, those who have a difficult life journey, and those who do not value their own or other people's lives. There are too many of these people, not only too many, but also redundant."

The corners of Luo Lin's mouth curved into a smile. "Master Qiu, have you ever thought about it? If we use the resources of these people to help others who are healthier, smarter, more helpful and more valuable, then this is the most scientific and reasonable way. The reason why resources are exhausted and the world is full of disasters is precisely because the world's allocation of resources is not scientific."

"Many people think that life has no value. In fact, life has value, a very precise value, and NH can accurately calculate the value of each person."

"Just like me, my value is higher than many, many people because I am smarter, healthier, and stronger."

"The benefits of my life far outweigh my costs. It's that simple. Therefore, eliminating those whose costs are higher than the benefits and giving their resources to those whose lives are more valuable is the only way to save this world."

Qiu Zhonglei stared at Luo Lin deeply. He always felt that the woman in front of him was a little crazy.

"Life is priceless, but killing someone can be punished with a life. The ethics and laws we talk about are nothing more than the justice concepts and shameful traditions of sects and people. NH's beliefs, our beliefs, are more inclined to science and algebra." Rowling raised two fingers and said lightly, "Constants and variables!"

"The constant is your contribution. It has value, a measurable value. If I die, die here, or die anywhere else, then my value will be damaged, stop, and completely lose its meaning. The variable is the value of my life, the statistical value. You are trapped in this ward, which means that your variable is getting smaller and smaller, and you can't provide value until... your life will have no meaning."
