The prince of heaven only wants salted fish

At this time, several researchers had packed up their things and moved them to the car one after another. Yang Zhe went to the side of Jicheng and reported: "Professor Jiang, we are ready."

He Jianjiang then remembered how the researchers had just packed their luggage, and he quickly asked: "What are you going to do?"

Do you really want to leave them behind?

Jicheng nodded towards Yang Zhe and motioned for him to get in the car and wait. Then he said to He Jiankang, "Go back to the city and grab the medicine."

He Jianjian: "?"

Yang Zhe and several researchers had already turned around and headed for the car, but some of the other researchers didn't make any extra moves.

Thinking that He Jianjiang's mind often seemed to be thinking about some strange things, Jicheng did not leave immediately, but patiently explained: "Now that we know it is a parasite problem, our next task is to research and develop The drug of restraint.”

"There are not many materials in the processing factory. Many of the needed materials are in the experimental base. We have to go back and grab them," Jicheng lowered his eyelashes and said calmly, "By the way, let's confirm some things."

He rolled up his hanging sleeves to expose his wrist bones - although this would expose more skin to the air and increase the risk of being bitten, it would obviously make it easier for Jicheng to move around and fight.

"It may take me a day or two to bring people into the city this time, but it shouldn't be too long," Jicheng said. "Those who stay behind remember to guard their territory and don't forget what they should do."

This sentence is obviously a reminder to He Jianjian and the others not to forget their great cause of farming.

He Jianjian: "...Okay, okay."

What's going on with this numb scalp feeling? !

Before Jicheng left, he took another deep look at everyone present. Several children were still sleeping and were not awakened by their movements: "I hope there won't be any attrition when I come back."

Then he strode outside. A moment later, there was the sound of an engine roaring away outside the processing plant, which made the zombie girl tied into a rice dumpling excited: "Uh-huh!"

He Jianjiang was still in a dreamlike daze. He came back to his senses when he heard Xiaohan's excited voice and looked at her hesitantly: "Uh...Professor Jiang."

He was stuck for a moment before continuing: "It seems he didn't say anything about Xiaohan, what should I do?"

Like a headshot like a normal zombie? At any rate, they had rescued her before her death and had taken care of her for so long, not to mention these children who had a close relationship with Xiao Han. Emotionally, no one should be able to do this to Xiao Han.

"How about we send Xiaohan out?" He Jianjian suggested.

There is no way to shoot a headshot, and it feels too dangerous to keep such a zombie girl where you live. However, there are a lot of zombies out there now. We are all zombies. If we release Xiaohan into the wild, we won't worry about her being bitten by other zombies... Although this kind of behavior that is similar to littering does not sound very ethical...

Li Hang was one of the remaining researchers. He immediately said: "No need."

He Jianjian paused in confusion, and another researcher who stayed behind, Nie Bei, who was recognized by Lin Chu, added: "If the drug can be formulated, we need to conduct clinical trials."

In the current situation where the social order is collapsing, it is impossible to follow the general experimental ethical order and transition from white mice to human experiments step by step. Although it is a bit cruel to say this, Xiaohan is a person who died after a normal death. Beings that mutate into zombies are indeed rare experimental subjects.

This is the truth, but He Jianjiang couldn't help but get goosebumps when he heard Nie Bei say such a frightening sentence in such a gentle and calm tone.

Are these people really engaged in research? !

——

Over there, Jicheng and others were already on their way back to the city.

It takes several hours to drive from the processing plant into the city. Since everyone was up all night, several people took turns driving this distance. Before entering the city, everyone found a place to do some repairs, and then went into the city in one go.

The situation in the city now is not much different from when they left - it is still a ruined street with zombies wandering everywhere. Most of the storefronts on the street had their windows broken, and their contents were looted.

The bloodstains on the ground have dried up, and the corpses lying on the ground are not as rotten as they were at that time. They were probably cleaned up deliberately by a human team, but over time, a group of them naturally accumulated. At this moment, these corpses were emitting an unpleasant smell, but none of them had complete heads. If Ji Cheng had noticed this earlier, he might not have realized the root of the problem until now.

But thinking about it now is somewhat of an afterthought, and the top priority is to quickly develop drugs that can deal with that parasite.

Entering the city, the one sitting in the driver's seat now is Jicheng - although the researchers have made enough progress compared to before, he still has to maintain a stable attitude in such a place where zombies are rampant. Let's be more reliable.

At this moment, he was holding the steering wheel and looking straight ahead. He stared straight ahead at the zombies that were surrounding them when they heard the sound of the car. He kicked the accelerator and left them far behind.

When he explained to He Jianjiang and the other three, Shiji City didn't explain everything too clearly, and he didn't even tell all the truth in the previous meeting with the researchers -

As one of the leaders of the MA Institute and one of the world's top scientific research experts, the original Jiang Cheng was indeed invited to participate in a research project on extraterrestrial meteorites, and this extraterrestrial parasite was indeed discovered by Jiang Cheng.

He wanted to analyze the life structure of this parasite at the time, but because it was too dangerous and no effective method had been found, the progress of this project was shelved. Also because of the danger of extraterrestrial parasites, only a few people have known and participated in this project - but it does not mean that no one in the entire MA Institute has participated in this project except Jiang Cheng.

In fact, a considerable number of researchers in the MA Institute have participated in this extraterrestrial meteorite project.

And this is also the part that Ji Cheng did not explain to others: According to Jiang Cheng's memory, none of those who participated in the extraterrestrial parasite research project are in their current team.

Or to put it more clearly, on the day of the sample handover, none of those who participated in the project returned successfully.

Even further imagine: if Ji Cheng had not taken over this body that day, Jiang Cheng would have been surrounded by zombies and died that day if nothing unexpected happened.

When Jiang Cheng fell to the ground, the bullet that rubbed his cheek passed by. Jiang Cheng himself might not have paid attention to it in panic, but Ji Cheng clearly saw something unusual in it - guns are only available in the military. Although the bullet did not kill Jiang Cheng, it was obviously not fired to rescue him.

Combined with the inexplicable disappearance of the government army later, Ji Cheng had doubts at the time, and now the source of the zombie virus is highly suspected to be extraterrestrial parasites, and those doubts have almost come to a conclusion:

The government army is hunting down this group of people who participated in the extraterrestrial parasite research project.

And the reason is probably inseparable from the zombie outbreak.

It is not difficult to find all kinds of contradictions in it if you look into it more carefully - for example, if the government army wants to silence people, why did they entrust the MA Institute to participate in the research of the zombie virus before? And if the government army wants to eliminate the zombie virus, why do they want to kill the researchers who participated in the extraterrestrial parasite project and are obviously more experienced in this thing?

Before getting the exact answers to these questions, Ji Cheng is not ready to tell others more.

After seeing the analysis report of zombie body fluid, Ji Cheng had already begun to suspect that the zombie virus was pronounced as virus but was actually written as extraterrestrial parasite. However, in that situation at the time, he could not find a way to further verify it - he could not catch a living person and kill him to do experiments, right?

So Ji Cheng did not say his guess at the time, but when he was free, he would think about feasible drug solutions according to the characteristics of extraterrestrial parasites in Jiang Cheng's memory.

Although the human brain is precise, it is still inferior to the computer in terms of capacity and rigor, not to mention that many scientific research results require practical operation and trial to draw conclusions.

Now the conditions are limited, and there are indeed no conditions for hands-on experiments, but Ji Cheng has a huge spiritual power and sea of ​​consciousness as a backing. In terms of reasoning and calculation, his ability is actually not worse than that of the computer in this small world. After almost a month, he has indeed had several simulated solutions in his mind.

Last night, all the researchers gathered together for a brainstorming session. Considering that the existing conditions no longer support them to operate instruments for any precise chemical synthesis operations, everyone brainstormed and finally determined a plan with the highest feasibility - and now they are going back to the institute to take away all the materials and instruments they can get.

After being away from the city for nearly a month, there are still many zombies wandering outside the gate of the institute.

Although it has its own power generation equipment, the machines in the institute have long stopped working due to power outages when the social operation is basically paralyzed. Looking from afar at the windows on the second floor of the institute, it is not difficult to see that it is dark inside.

There is also some not-so-good news: there are traces of climbing over the outer wall of the institute, and several windows are broken.

Obviously, the gate of the institute has good defense, and it is a bit difficult to break through by force, but it is impossible for such a large building not to attract the covetousness of other survivors. So someone broke the window and climbed in, probably to find out if there are any supplies or something.

In this case, it is difficult to determine whether the institute is still safe - the window is broken, not only people can get in, but zombies are also possible, not to mention if the survivors who sneaked in do not return by the original route but come out of the main gate in a swagger.

However, correspondingly, the combat effectiveness of the researchers is no longer what it used to be.

So under the leadership of Ji Cheng, they first parked the car in a hidden corner, and everyone took turns to make repairs. In the second half of the night, they set out together and entered the institute through the back door.

It can be seen that someone had indeed entered the institute, and judging from the messy traces in the corridor, there was probably a fight.

However, Ji Cheng and his team did not care about these. Relying on their familiarity with the internal layout of the institute, the group quickly walked through the corridor and went directly to the warehouse where various experimental equipment and raw materials were stored.

Fortunately, those who broke in before were mainly looking for survival supplies. Ji Cheng and his team passed through those unlocked rooms along the way. The doors of each room were open. The useful things that could be taken away were almost swept away, and the things that could not be taken away were scattered on the ground. Nothing was intact within the sight range - but those rooms that were locked twice, except for a few that were violently destroyed, most of them were still intact.

The warehouse for storing experimental equipment and experimental raw materials is the top priority of the institute. The sturdiness of its door is still quite guaranteed. In addition, there is a doorplate like "Equipment Warehouse" next to it, so naturally no one will make unnecessary attempts. So when Ji Cheng and his team knocked down the zombies who bumped into them and came to the equipment warehouse, they were very glad to find that the door here was still intact.

Using the key they took away before and several fingerprint verifications, Ji Cheng and his team successfully entered the interior of the equipment warehouse.

Because of the power failure, many raw materials that require special environments to be preserved have begun to show signs of damage, but fortunately there is no leakage, otherwise it is estimated that a large number of people will be poisoned as soon as the door is opened.

Everyone had already determined the entire transportation process and division of labor when they were resting in the afternoon. At this moment, no one had any conversation or hesitation. They all found the things they were responsible for taking and packed them in different categories for preservation. It took only a quarter of an hour before and after, and everyone gathered again at the door of the storage warehouse.

Then Ji Cheng simply counted and led the researchers out of the building.

The number of researchers brought by Ji Cheng this time was limited, and they also planned to bring as many things as possible back, so after leaving one person in the car to watch the situation, Ji Cheng led the team back to move things again, but even if they went back and forth twice, when they put all the materials they wanted to bring on the car, the sky was just a little light.

It took about two hours in total, and this was because they spent most of their time avoiding the zombies wandering in the institute, so they had to stop and go.

But the whole process can be said to be quite smooth.

At least when everything was put away and everyone got in the car, and Ji Cheng sat in the driver's seat and fastened his seat belt, the researchers couldn't help but look at each other, and each of them showed a kind of belated surprise in their eyes.

The sky was a little pale, and someone couldn't help but say: "This... we've done it now?"

This operation is too efficient! When he knew he was going to enter the city, he thought it would be a tough battle!

Ji Cheng asked back: "How difficult do you think it would be?"

The researcher groaned and suddenly became a little speechless.

Yang Zhe was particularly insightful and said: "That's because of Professor Jiang's training!"

First, improve physical fitness and then fighting skills. In addition to the experience they have accumulated in sweeping the processing plant these days, dealing with the two or three kittens of zombies in the institute, under the leadership of Ji Cheng, should not be considered difficult.

Ji Cheng also showed a satisfied look on his face. He started the car and stepped on the accelerator and left this place directly.

Before leaving the city, Ji Cheng stopped at a gas station. Now that it was bright, the chances of them being discovered by wandering zombies were much higher, so the researchers all got off the car to help keep watch and provide cover, and had a simple meal to replenish their energy.

When the gas was full, there was a commotion in the distant street, accompanied by the roars of zombies.

There were also a few cries for help in the panic, and Ji Cheng raised his eyebrows - it was obvious that this was a human team with bad luck being chased by zombies.

The shouts were not too small, and some researchers heard them. They immediately turned to Ji Cheng in a bit of a panic: What should we do?

Rationally speaking, everyone knew that saving people was not feasible - not to mention the huge gap in strength between them and the zombies that might be attracted to the whole street, just say that there were so many important materials in their car, and there was no room for saving people!

They just couldn't bear to watch their fellow human beings die or be infected and mutated.

At this time, the fuel was full, Ji Cheng pulled out the gas pump, turned around and packed a backpack in the car, loaded a day's worth of food and water, and found a simply sharpened dagger and a steel pipe.

He threw the car keys to Yang Zhe: "You guys go back to the processing plant first."

Yang Zhe: "?"

Ji Cheng: "I'll be back later."
