Chapter 153 Asking
"The problem of the zombie wave cannot be completely solved at least now. After all, human survival cannot be limited to this small base. Sooner or later, the city must be slowly reclaimed. Now the rash use of powerful firepower can not only destroy the zombies, but also It will destroy human cities and living environment."
Dr. Zhou's words revealed exhaustion and helplessness, "Now is just the beginning of the end of the world, and it will take a long, long time to end. Our top priority now is to develop a vaccine that can be mass-produced to prevent the zombies from continuing to grow."
Pei Zhuangzhou nodded with deep feeling, "Yes, I can understand your thoughts very well, Dr. Zhou."
"Actually, I am somewhat selfish in telling you so much." Dr. Zhou adjusted the glasses on his nose, straightened his body and looked over, "I think you have seen the map I hung on the table. The lines are the zombie tide patterns I analyzed, and the black dot among them was drawn based on the estimated location when I received the signal."
When Li Gengrong heard this, his eyes dropped to the table, his face pretending to be nonchalant, and his heart was already beating.
"It's natural. We were also very surprised about that black spot at the time. It turned out to be the origin of the signal that Dr. Zhou guessed. If you hadn't told us, we would never have thought of it." Pei Zhuangzhou continued to communicate with Dr. Zhou with a smile.
Dr. Zhou took out a piece of paper from the drawer and put it on the table. It was the simplified map.
"I'm talking to you so much today. On the one hand, I hope you understand the general outline of my research. On the other hand, I also hope you can help me recall it."
"Because this point is on your way back from City B. I don't know exactly where it is, but I estimated the time when you came back. It's very likely that you have encountered this place where a special signal occurred."
"Did anything special happen to you on the road?"
Facing Dr. Zhou's questioning and expectant eyes, Li Gengrong couldn't help but swallow his saliva, feeling hesitant and nervous in his heart.
"...Does having nightmares count?" Li Gengrong felt guilty after being stared at by Dr. Zhou, so he said something casually.
Dr. Zhou was a little disappointed and turned to look at Pei Zhuangzhou, "What about you, do you remember anything strange happened? Or do you think something is strange?"
"...If we encounter something strange or something, we will definitely remember it," Pei Zhuangzhou frowned in embarrassment, as if he was thinking about it, "You have also read the report. There were pursuers on our way back, so we are focusing on that. Now, how can you think about anything else?"
Dr. Zhou sighed after hearing this, "Yes, I really worked hard for you that time. It's hard for you all to come back."
"Hahaha, it's okay, it's okay. Thanks to Mu Mu, I healed a few of them." Pei Zhuangzhou lied without blushing.
Dr. Zhou also smiled, "The girl who helped me treat me last time didn't even have a chance to say thank you."
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way. She can understand that you spend all your time on research." Pei Zhuangzhou moved his buttocks. He knew it was almost time to leave.
Dr. Zhou drank the tea in his cup and rolled out of the wheelchair. "We had a great time chatting today. Although there has been no major breakthrough in vaccine research so far, we will definitely try our best."
Pei Zhuangzhou stood up quickly, "Yes, yes, we believe that a vaccine will be made sooner or later. Everyone sees that you have worked so hard, so you should pay attention to rest."
"Alas, I won't have long to live." Dr. Zhou said nonchalantly, "I can only hope to do something good for the country in my lifetime."
Pei Zhuangzhou opened his mouth. From all aspects, he admired the person in front of him, but he could not push his friend off the cliff just because of his admiration. Vaccines can only be developed from zombies, not from humans.
Even if Li Gengrong's blood really has antibodies, it is absolutely impossible to rely on him to produce it in large quantities. Taking shortcuts is quick but cannot solve the existing problems.
"Let me push you out." Pei Zhuangzhou bent slightly to help Dr. Zhou's wheelchair.
"Hey, thank you, just push me out, and the guards will take me back." Dr. Zhou was tired, and his voice was a little tired.
Li Gengrong followed them and left, feeling conflicted and uncomfortable.
Back in the dormitory, both of them were silent.
Li Gengrong was eating instant noodles while thinking about what Dr. Zhou just said. Seeing that Dr. Zhou didn't panic, the dispersal plan should be successful.
It's just that this vaccine research is undoubtedly fruitless. Now that they have all moved into the research institute, Yulanzhi will definitely be called to do experiments soon.
"...Sigh," Li Gengrong turned back to look at Pei Zhuangzhou, "Old Pei, what are you thinking about?"
Pei Zhuangzhou raised the front legs of his chair and stared at the ceiling in a daze, "I'm thinking about something..."
"What are you thinking about?"
Li Gengrong lifted the instant noodles and placed them on the back of the chair, then sat facing Pei Zhuangzhou.
"I was thinking... thinking about Dr. Zhou's attitude just now, and his lies." Pei Zhuangzhou muttered as if talking in his sleep.
Li Gengrong paused while eating the noodles, bit off the noodles and asked vaguely, "Are you saying that there was some lie in what he just said?"
"I don't know if any of the research on the zombie wave is fake, but," Pei Zhuangzhou stabilized his stool and turned around to sit on his back, "I think the question he asked us is weird."
Li Gengrong thought for a moment, "Are you saying he has a purpose for asking that?"
"He is testing us. He must have thought that we knew something but did not report it." Pei Zhuangzhou said in a low voice.
Li Geng was stunned.
"If he just thinks it's just a trivial matter that we know but don't report it, I'm afraid he will suspect that we not only know, but may even be the culprits who caused the signal." Pei Zhuangzhou took a deep breath and said.
Li Gengrong was even more confused. How could he be said to be the culprit? He couldn't hold such a big hat down.
Pei Zhuangzhou stood up, picked up a chair and sat next to Li Gengrong and whispered, "I don't know if you fainted at the time, but I tell you, the blood you left was all processed by Yang Kailin."
"After Mu Mu cured you, Yang Kailin took a blanket and sucked up all the blood in the car and on the ground. If the blood on the road was sucked by the stones and couldn't be wiped off, it was washed away with water. Then the blanket and the clothes and pants you changed were all wiped out by him. It was poured with gasoline and burned.”
Li Gengrong asked strangely, "Then, how did the zombie find that place later?"
"I don't know either. You don't know how shocked I was when I saw Dr. Zhou's manuscript!" Pei Zhuangzhou was also very confused.
"I must give you an explanation. I think your bleeding volume was too great. The zombie came looking for it after smelling the smell. But after cleaning it up, it couldn't be found. Then it got very angry and started looking for it with its friends." Pei Zhuangzhou He waved his hands and talked nonsense. Anyway, he had no basis for what he said.
