District 4 was located on the west side of the East Block.
It could be said that District 1 was the center of activity in the East Block.
The headquarters of the Security Bureau, the Financial Department, the Home Affairs Department, and even the Command Center were located in District 1.
The Dawn Virus Research Center was also located in District 1.
Only the headquarters of the Food Supply Department was located in District 4, and the department’s building was the tallest among the other buildings in the district.
In fact, all the residential areas in the East Block had the same design, including the appearance of the buildings and the layout of each apartment unit.
That was why District 4 didn’t look too different from District 1 at first glance, but there was actually one unique building in District 4 that would make people turn their heads towards it.
That building was the White Dome located in the northwest area of District 4, and it used to be the research building of HAZ Pharmaceutical before it had to merge with other pharmaceutical companies in the East Block.
The company’s research building was indeed separate from the headquarters, and the founder of the company deliberately chose a relatively quiet area for the research building.
That was why the White Dome seemed rather deserted in the corner of District 4, and it seemed even more deserted now that HAZ Pharmaceutical was no more.
There used to be many researchers working in the White Dome, but those researchers were transferred to the Dawn Virus Research Center after the merger, leaving only a few researchers remaining in the building in recent years.
One of the researchers who remained in the White Dome after the merger was Damian Horan, the founder of HAZ Pharmaceutical and the former director of the company.
He was the one who came up with the idea to build the White Dome when the company was still at its peak, and he poured his heart into the building because it was so important to him.
That was why he refused to move to the Dawn Virus Research Center even though his company had merged with the research center.
That was because Damian had done a lot of research in the White Dome, and he even spent most of his time there.
“So, what are we going to do with the formula, sir?
Are we going to continue developing it as the leader ordered?” A man in a white lab coat asked an old man standing by the window.
Both from the outside and inside, the White Dome looked sophisticated in every nook and cranny.
Its design was modern and dominated by white here and there, and that was the reason behind its name.
The building only had one entrance at the front, but it had two windows on the right and left sides of the building.
That was because the left side of the building was Damian’s office, while the right side of the building was his bedroom.
Aside from those two windows, the research building was practically blocked from sunlight, but perhaps the old researcher wanted to feel the warmth of the sunlight from time to time, and that was why he sometimes stood by the window just like today.
“The block leader only wants the best for our people,” Damian answered his assistant’s question.
“The formula is indeed still not perfect, and that is why we need to work harder to make it perfect.
However, I’m not so sure about that because I have been trying to complete the formula for many years, but it is still a half-baked formula that I managed to produce.
I’m not sure whether I will be able to help our people or not.”
Damian was already very old, and even his back did not look as straight anymore.
His face was full of wrinkles, and his eyes were not as sharp as they used to be and even needed to be framed by glasses.
However, the assistant standing next to him was much younger than him, probably only forty years old.
The red-haired man was also wearing glasses, and his eyes were filled with worry as he continued to stare at the older man. The source of this chapter is novelping.com.
For a moment, he looked away from the old man and looked out the window.
There was nothing but trees outside the window, but the combination of the green of the trees and the blue of the sky was like a balm to a tired soul, and that was why he felt a little better after looking outside.
He then turned to the old man once more before saying, “Their death anniversary is coming up soon, sir.”
The muscles on the old man’s face seemed to tense after hearing what the red-haired man had just said, but then he turned to the man before replying, “I remember about that, and I will go to District 1 to visit their graves.
You help me prepare for that trip.”
The younger man nodded to the old man, and then he excused himself from the man’s office.
The old man was now alone in his office, and a heavy sigh escaped his lips before he swung his feet in a direction.
It looked like a metal wall, but there was something like a screen attached to it, and below the screen was a group of buttons with the numbers 0 through 9.
He pressed a few buttons, and the screen above the buttons lit up.
A mechanical voice asked him to perform an iris scan, and he brought his eyes closer to the screen before the mechanical voice said that the scan process was complete.
It looked like a metal wall, but the wall was actually a double door, and the doors opened automatically after the scanning process was complete.
The old researcher then walked into the room, and the doors once again closed automatically.
The lights inside the room turned on by themselves, and he could see two giant tubes that had something inside.
