The NO.1 Food Stall in the Wasteland novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Chapter 277: This Plan Won’t Work

Qi Zhixian agreed and carried his tools over to the coffee table. "Please, come over here."

Fu Cheng walked over slowly, with Shen Lu right by his side.

He glanced at Shen Lu’s hand in her pocket and discreetly took a deep breath.

"Please hold out one of your hands." Qi Zhixian quickly donned a pair of disposable medical gloves, dipped a cotton swab in iodophor, and prepared to perform a quick, precise blood draw.

He was an expert at this task; he could probably draw the blood in record time with his eyes closed.

It couldn’t be helped. As a researcher, sample collection had to be fast, clean, and precise.

He usually drew blood from mutant beasts that couldn’t understand human language; drawing blood from people was a fairly rare occurrence for him.

The only arm Fu Cheng could use for the blood draw was his left. Shen Lu rolled up his sleeve for him, exposing his arm.

The veins on the man’s arm were prominent. Qi Zhixian effortlessly found a suitable spot. After swabbing it with iodophor, he slid the needle in, and blood began to flow through the thin tube into a vial.

Seeing this, a smile touched Gong Tianhua’s lips, and he took a relieved sip of water.

Just then, the internal line suddenly rang. Gong Tianhua picked up the receiver, and his expression darkened slightly as he listened.

"All right, I understand. I’m on my way now. Keep the situation under control."

After hanging up, Gong Tianhua stood. "I have something to attend to. After the blood draw, Little Qi will show you to the lounge. We’ll discuss everything else when I return."

Without waiting for a response, he turned and left.

Meanwhile, Qi Zhixian had just finished collecting seven vials of blood and withdrew the needle.

"You’ll need to apply pressure for five minutes," Qi Zhixian said, looking at Shen Lu.

"Okay," Shen Lu replied. A yellow-green hammer suddenly materialized in her hand.

Qi Zhixian: ?

The next second, the hammer struck Qi Zhixian on the head.

She had barely used any force, but Qi Zhixian’s eyes rolled back, and he passed out cold.

As he fell, he knocked over the tray. CRASH! Everything on it scattered across the floor.

Fortunately, everything was made of shatterproof material. Aside from the uncapped bottle of iodophor that spilled, nothing was damaged.

"Tsk, this plan won’t work in the long run," Shen Lu tutted. She stomped hard on the vials, crushing them all and spilling the drawn blood across the floor.

Fu Cheng: "..."

Fu Cheng: "Wasn’t that a bit pointless?"

’When Qi Zhixian wakes up, he can just draw my blood again. This only treats the symptom, not the root cause.’

"I can’t worry about that right now." Shen Lu went over to Gong Tianhua’s desk and began to search it carefully.

’There has to be a stray hair from Gong Tianhua here somewhere,’ she thought. ’I have to hurry. The stun effect from the Memory Disappearance Hammer doesn’t last long—only four or five minutes.’

But after searching every conceivable spot, she couldn’t find a single strand of Gong Tianhua’s hair.

"Dammit, is this guy a total neat freak? Or is he just bald and wearing a wig?"

Shen Lu couldn’t stop herself from cursing, nearly knocking over Gong Tianhua’s teacup in her frustration.

As she steadied the cup, Shen Lu had a sudden flash of inspiration.
