Chapter 103，Part 1: Save the saviour (9.1)

Although it was already past ten o’clock in the evening, Ren Zhu didn’t feel sleepy at all. He followed the five elders from the conference room and directly took an elevator down to basement level 3. Honestly speaking, Ren Zhu felt quite moved when he saw this kind of highly developed technology again after half a month of running around. This world still hasn’t been completely destroyed.

Then, he saw the legendary ‘research laboratory’.

It was beyond Ren Zhu’s expectations. The walls of this research laboratory actually weren’t pure white. Instead they imitated the blue skies and white clouds of nature. It would let anyone who saw it slightly relax. At least in the long term, it was much better staying than in a white laboratory.

Although this was just another form of self-deception, it could be seen from this that the attitude of Yuan city base was relatively humane.

Of course, even if the experimental environment here looked good, if one were to see the laid out zombies and the researchers wearing protective clothing in the laboratory, their mood would involuntarily become oppressed, because these things reminded everyone that this was the reality.

“Old Meng, you’re here?” An middle middle-aged man with glasses and only wearing a big white gown came over. “Are you still going to look at the virus today?”

Old Meng, that is, the white-bearded elder, nodded: “I brought the new forces of our base to take a look. Perhaps they’ll have some unexpected discoveries, or bring you guys some insight?”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man pushed up his glasses: “Oh. I think they should go to Old Bai to draw some blood for research. Those two currently have the strangest abilities that we know of. They both have one of their stats which has practically reached the limit. This is very inconceivable.”

Hearing this, Ren Zhu mouth slightly twitched. He himself was still there. This researcher was not worried that he would have a bad reaction to this?

Old Meng chuckled when he heard this. “You’ll have to ask for their opinions. I certainly won’t do such things as forcing them, but since they just came, I think providing them with an incentive may be useful.”

Consequently, the middle-aged man said to Ren Zhu: “100 kilograms of rice, 50 kilograms of meat. Drawing a tube of blood for each person. What do you think?”

Ren Zhu practically felt like he was a rare giant panda. Where else in the apocalypse could there be something with as much value. “Okay, but I can only agree for myself. As for Yi Xiao, I can’t guarantee it.”

Flying zombie Yi did not agree to having his blood drawn. This group of stupid humans would never know how precious his blood was. Don’t look at how this zombie virus was very powerful. No matter how powerful it was, in the end, it still couldn’t stop him from cultivating into a jiangshi. He could definitely say that his blood was also poisonous. Once inhaled by an ordinary person, he would probably have a lot of junior jiangshi brothers. Although this may be one of the last resorts to save people in the end, he didn’t want to turn this apocalyptic world into a jiangshi world.

The middle-aged research elite was quite satisfied with this result, but he also felt a little unsatisfied. He turned to look at Yi Xiao and wanted to increase the bargaining chip, but the moment he saw Yi Xiao’s gaze, he shut his mouth. This person definitely wasn’t someone who could be persuaded with an incentive. He better not waste his words and increase the ill will towards himself.

Led by the middle-aged man, the few of them soon walked to the core research area.

“There hasn’t been much progress on the virus research. After all, the amount of source stones we have obtained is really very little. However, we have experimented with mice and can confirm that our previous ideas were correct. Although this virus is likely the cause of humanity’s end, if we can produce enough antibodies within our bodies and strengthen ourselves little by little each day, the probability of becoming an ability user would greatly increase. However, the current issue is, in what way could we let people produce enough antibodies before they become infected? We really want to treat this apocalyptic virus like how we dealt with cowpox and smallpox, but even if we isolate just 0.1 grams of the virus, so long as it infects human blood, it will rapidly spread and multiply. There isn’t any method or time for the human body to produce enough antibodies.”

The middle-aged elite pushed up his glasses: “So if we want to go along this path, we much research or find a source of powerful, unique antibodies. We need the blood of strong humans and see if we can find something special from them.”

“The other way is to start with the virus itself. Even if the virus came from outer space, it would also have its nemesis. Looking for its nemesis may be very hard, but so long as we go through hundreds, thousands, or even millions of experiments, we will inevitably crack it. However, we will need a large amount of source stones.”

Listening to the middle-aged elite’s speech, Ren Zhu felt that this person was telling the truth. However, after thinking about it carefully, he felt that this was all nonsense as well as a trap — the former was to pit them into offering their own blood for research. The latter was to pit them into fetching virus source stones from the meteorite. Don’t they have any useful inventions?

Teacher Ren fully expressed his thoughts through his gaze. As a result, the middle-aged elite actually understood. He revealed a slight smile towards Ren Zhu and said something that made Ren Zhu speechless: “What can I do? I am also very helpless.”

Ren Zhu: “……” That’s reasonable.

“Alright, alright. Xiao Hei, tell them some of our useful equipment. Don’t let these kids lose confidence ah.”

The dark elite sighed: “Old Meng, I already said not to call me Xiao Hei. Also, you should go find Da Huang for this kind of thing. He’s more knowledgeable on mechanical research. He also would definitely want to see what kind of super strong person was the one who made his machine explode.”

Saying this, the dark elite left. Ren Zhu thought, could it be that this research institute named people based on colour? Xiao Hei, Xiao Bai and also Da Huang. No, it sounded more like the pet he raise before.
