Chapter 346 Living Zombies 23
Chapter 346 Living Zombies 23
"If you don't believe me, you can also consider my data fabricated," Xi Cheng said, leaning against the table with a hint of malice.
Professor Yu patted his arm without turning his head: "Speak properly!"
An ordinary person wouldn't exert much force, but it made Xi Cheng grit his teeth, reminding him of the teacher he taught when he was a child.
He scoffed, "Really! How could Yi Yi's discovery be false?"
At this point, he was no longer sleepy!
Other researchers who have been studying the two springs have not noticed this anomaly at all!
Only Yi-yi, after dealing with those annoying politicians, spent a whole night in the lab and discovered that there were other ingredients in the spring water she had soaked in.
After multiple experiments, there were slight differences in activity and movement trajectory.
This difference will lead to drastically different experimental results.
The zombie virus, having been inactivated three times, has essentially lost its activity and can no longer pose a threat to humans. This is a seemingly useful but actually useless piece of knowledge that the research institute discovered after the apocalypse.
But that's useless now, only in the past.
Because now, this useless zombie virus, combined with the new spring water, will give birth to something new that will drive everyone crazy.
Zombie vaccine.
Although this is only a possibility for now, and although the road ahead may be long, this is the first time humanity has seen the light of day.
However, something about this glimmer of hope is amiss...
"It was bathwater that saved humanity," Xi Cheng muttered to himself. "How will this be written in the history books?"
Students in the future will have to memorize "Thanks to Ms. Lingyi's bathwater, mankind has seen new life".
Isn't that a bit too shameful?
Ling Yi, who was looking at the data, covered his mouth without turning her head: "That's enough. You can just do the experiments. History is too profound for you."
After reviewing all the materials, Professor Yu took a deep breath and said, "Xi Cheng, I have a task for you now."
Her expression was more solemn than ever before: "I appoint you as the leader of the zombie vaccine task force, to lead all the research resources in the base and do your utmost to complete this project."
She patted Xi Cheng's shoulder heavily: "When you complete this project, you will be remembered in history."
As a human being whose brain is only average in scientific matters, Xi Cheng didn't care much about this, but asked in confusion, "Why me, and not Yi Yi?"
Isn't Yi Yi the biggest contributor to this whole affair?
Professor Yu shook his head: "Ling Yi discovered this, and it will be recorded in the experimental record, but she absolutely cannot participate in the experiment, and I have more important things for her to do!"
As the one who created the new ingredient, Ling Yi would be in immense danger in this laboratory.
If the experiment hits a bottleneck, how about drawing a tube of blood to dedicate to all of humanity?
If the research ultimately fails, does that prove the spring water concentration is insufficient? Would breaking her up and throwing her into the spring water increase the concentration?
Even after the experiment is completed, people will still covet her flesh and blood.
She led the experiment, she created the ingredients, does her body have some unspeakable secret? Why don't we cut off a piece and eat it?
You take a piece, I take a piece, and Lingyi is shaved into a skeleton.
If people aren't interested in bone broth, she might turn it into a skeleton.
Professor Yu immediately realized the threat this posed to Ling Yi.
As for not making this public and only saying it was a chance discovery?
Do you really think everyone is stupid? The world is functioning normally, and only your situation is abnormal. If we don't dissect you, who should we dissect?
Professor Yu has witnessed too many of the darker thoughts and desires of humanity, and she knows all too well the wickedness of human nature. She would not place such a meritorious person in such a dangerous situation.
It's not just about preserving humanity's last shred of decency, but also about preserving humanity's last glimmer of hope.
From the information given by the two teams from the textile factory, she basically understood Ling Yi's combat strength and knew that if she wanted to escape, no one could stop her.
If she were to be injured in the open or covert attacks, become disgusted with the scheming and despicable people in the base, and leave with only the safety amulet, then the base would truly have no hope left.
She never expected that some selfish people would even think of this.
Professor Yu's brilliant mind flashed through countless thoughts in an instant, and finally he made a decision: "Starting tomorrow, you will organize your own combat squad. Once you have enough combat experience, you will take over the troops inside the base!"
She looked into Ling Yi's calm eyes, and the two intelligent people instantly saw through each other's thoughts the moment their eyes met.
A person will leave a base that is unfriendly to her, but will not leave a base that she rules.
Professor Yu would even be willing to hand over this power to a pig like Xi Cheng, as long as it could end this apocalyptic world that filled her with despair.
Moreover, Ling Yi is not only not a pig, but she is also excessively intelligent.
From today onward, she will work hard to take care of her health and buy Lingyi more time.
ten years.
This was her bottom line, and also her trust in Ling Yi.
She believed that such a long time was enough for Ling Yi to climb to the position of the highest-ranking official who would win everyone's respect.
"Don't worry." Ling Yi glanced at Xi Cheng and said calmly, "If I want to, this shouldn't be difficult."
It's just a base worth millions; she can manage it perfectly well.
It's not just to avoid becoming a leftover, but also to prevent those around me from being kicked out of the base.
During this time, she discovered that there were many people in the base who were dissatisfied with Xi Cheng, but they all lost to this smiling old lady.
Even without her, Xi Cheng's status would still be high, but he would always be subject to external spies. She shielded him from everything.
Thinking of this, Ling Yi stroked Xi Cheng's dog head with a complicated expression.
This is what they mean by "fools have good fortune."
Xi Cheng: "..."
Although he didn't know why he felt excluded by these two people, he inexplicably felt that his intelligence was being looked down upon.
But he's also very smart, okay? Who in the base is smarter than him besides Yi Yi?
He avoided Ling Yi's hand and muttered softly, "Why do you always touch me like that?"
He didn't like it, as if it were touching a child.
He still preferred the feeling of Ling Yi sitting on him, her fingertips tugging into his hair.
Sexy yet gentle, their hearts and eyes are only for each other.
Ling Yi gave him a loving look: "Take it while you can, because when I get busy, I might not even have this chance to touch you again."
She could almost picture a future filled with tireless work, constantly running around for the base.
At that time, even if Xi Cheng wanted her to touch him, he couldn't.
He'll be stuck in this lab, biting the corner of the blanket and sobbing.
