Chapter 258 The Poor Little Villain in the Apocalypse (37 chapters)
Xie Qingyu even saw two little zombies, who looked to be about three or four years old.
Its small body moved with extraordinary agility through the crowd toward the main entrance.
It's unclear which superhuman the zombie encountered, but a superhuman immediately took action.
The lab technicians following behind, seeing that the situation was getting out of control, immediately sent someone back to find help.
Less than a minute later, a broadcast suddenly sounded over the base, strictly prohibiting the killing of zombies within the base. Anyone who captures a zombie alive and delivers it to the experimental area will be rewarded with crystal cores.
This made the situation even more chaotic.
Everyone started catching zombies.
Ji Lingshen looked at the scene and the zombies in the crowd without any expression on his face. He simply silently protected Xie Qingyu behind him.
Xie Qingyu's earlier guess was correct; most of the zombies in the experimental area were evolved zombies. The only question was which of these zombies was the commander.
The zombies were agile, and the area near the entrance was crowded, so people were quickly bitten.
This made the situation even more out of control.
Several zombies even broke through the encirclement and reached the base's entrance, but they were eventually captured.
No zombies came from where Xie Qingyu was standing, and she had no intention of exchanging zombies for crystal cores, so she didn't bother to join in the fun.
Ji Lingshen, of course, remained silent and stayed by her side at all times.
Zhou Yao joined in immediately after the announcement. He was always proactive in completing tasks, and he would never miss a task that offered crystal cores.
Xie Qingyu carefully observed the group of zombies, trying to identify the smartest one among them.
Too bad I can't see anything.
Ji Lingshen held Xie Qingyu's hand and led her away from the chaotic crowd. "Come with me."
Xie Qingyu never expected that Ji Lingshen would bring her to the entrance of the experimental area.
The experimental area, which used to be heavily guarded, is now unguarded due to the escape of zombies; everyone is busy catching them.
Inside the experimental area, it was eerily quiet.
Ji Lingshen was so skilled that it didn't seem like he was here for the second time; he didn't even know how to open the door to the experimental area below.
He led Xie Qingyu across the corridor they had visited before. Now, the doors to the rooms on both sides of the corridor were wide open, and all the zombies inside had escaped.
It seems the zombies didn't leave using violence, but rather by using their brains.
Xie Qingyu had no idea why Ji Lingshen had brought her here at this time. She stopped when he reached the door of the last office, then reached out and opened the door to go inside.
This office looks just like a university professor's office, with project documents and reports piled up on the desk.
The difference was that on the other half of the desk, there were several rows of sealed test tubes containing an unknown green solution.
Ji Lingshen walked straight to the table, picked up a test tube, and shook it.
"What is this?" This dark green color is hard to describe no matter how you look at it, and intuitively it doesn't seem like a good thing.
At the very least, it won't make people mistake it for serum.
“Zombie saliva,” Ji Lingshen said. “That’s probably not accurate. As you know, zombies don’t have saliva anymore. This is a substance they extract that can turn people into zombies, which is the substance that works in the zombie’s mouth.”
Xie Qingyu immediately knew what it was, and her gaze towards the bottle was filled with fear, making one want to stay away.
Although it was hard to understand, Xie Qingyu at least understood that in order to develop a serum, it was also crucial to first study what was working on the zombies.
However, looking at so many test tubes still makes me feel intimidated; even if I were to do an experiment, there are just too many.
"Wow, they've developed so many!" Xie Qingyu exclaimed. "How did you know this was here? It's not really useful, is it?"
Xie Qingyu still doesn't know why Ji Lingshen came here.
"Do you know what kind of experiment we were going to conduct last time?" Ji Lingshen suddenly asked.
Xie Qingyu was taken aback for a moment and said, "Wasn't I supposed to choose for myself?"
Xie Qingyu still remembers the experiment on the paper that the lab technician later took out; it was meant for them to choose which ones to participate in.
Ji Lingshen shook his head. "No matter which one we choose, we will be used for experiments. We will experiment on humans and zombies, or zombies and humans, or newly infected humans and humans. We will see which one can produce a child and what kind of changes will occur."
Ji Lingshen's bluntness was somewhat unsettling, but the meaning behind his words was enough to make people overlook his choice of words. "What!"
Even though Xie Qingyu knew that the experimental zone was conducting experiments that did not meet human moral standards, in the apocalypse, there were indeed some extreme measures that could be taken to achieve the desired results.
However, if it's like this, then it's completely unnecessary.
This is not even immoral, but rather anti-human.
"How did you know?" Xie Qingyu asked.
"My dad said so." Ji Lingshen didn't even look up, and directly put all the reagents into his system space.
Xie Qingyu watched his movements, worried that he might accidentally get the liquid on him.
“These are the things we need to do these experiments, and now they’re ours,” Ji Lingshen said to Xie Qingyu.
Despite having countless questions in her mind, Xie Qingyu decided to wait until Ji Lingshen had finished packing everything before going back to discuss them.
After Ji Lingshen finished packing, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he went to the laboratory across the hall and symbolically took some things with him.
Xie Qingyu's gaze fell on the work ID on the table in the room, which clearly bore the name Ji Ming.
Ji Lingshen took some things from his desk and opened a drawer to take out a box.
Ji Lingshen opened the box, glanced at it, and immediately closed it, putting it into his spatial storage.
"Let's go." Ji Lingshen left without closing the doors to the two offices.
They even had the leisure to open the doors of every office along the way.
Xie Qingyu could hear people talking somewhere who had already returned, but Ji Lingshen followed behind him as if he were in an empty place, without encountering anyone at all.
The two of them reappeared at the front door without anyone noticing.
Ji Lingshen told Xie Qingyu to stand still and wait. He took a few steps forward, grabbed a small zombie alive, and lifted it up by the back of its neck.
Ignoring the little zombie's short legs struggling in the air, he turned to Xie Qingyu and said, "Let's go get the crystal cores too."
