Chapter 56: Where to Go
At the door of the public laboratory at the Jiangxin Island base, Harris dragged a group of bare-bottomed "volunteers" back with a gloomy face, muttering something like Chen Xin walking and seeing, one of the "volunteers" was a short-haired woman in her forties, who was "carefully cleaned" by Harris's hands when she was soaking in the potassium permanganate pool before.
However, Harris also understands the priority of the matter, and knows that this group of "volunteers" is very valued by Su Wan, who originally said that it would take eight hours to continue to work, but soon after he followed Chen Xin's instructions, he escorted the "volunteers" to the laboratory, and was driven away by Su Wan, who rushed to the laboratory, leaving only one "volunteer" for backup.
Of course, Harris didn't know that Su Wan didn't rush over in such a hurry for the arrival of the "volunteers", she only received a notice from Xie Guoping, who stayed behind, that the sample of the completed body had changed, so she hurried over.
Fortunately, because the gene cracking procedure of the 7th-order mature body has been started, there is no need to maintain the sterility of the entire laboratory, everyone no longer needs to wear heavy isolation gowns, and there is no need to clean and disinfect once they enter the laboratory.
Xie Guoping looked at Su Wan's long straight and smooth hair, which was hovered in the back of his head at the moment, and couldn't help but sigh, the female doctor in front of him had worked for more than 30 hours in a row, and she had just rested for 2 hours before she appeared in the laboratory again, but the female doctor's energy was obviously unable to keep up with the rhythm of work.
But for a biology expert like Su Wan, lack of energy is not a big problem, and the inability to obtain the genetic fragments of high-level samples is a headache for her, so when she confirmed that the high-level samples in front of her really had changed differently, Su Wan immediately decided to use stimulants to boost her spirit.
Zhang Baixin watched Su Wan take out a needle from the freezer, and didn't ask anyone to help, rolled up the sleeve of the white coat, and shot it at his arm. He knew that Su Wan was already very tired, but he didn't persuade her to go back to rest, because he knew that Su Wan didn't care about the side effects of stimulants for the sake of a breakthrough in research, and Zhang Baixin even doubted that Su Wan's own stimulants would have adverse reactions.
The stimulant worked very quickly, and Su Wan's face immediately flushed abnormally, but she didn't sit down and calm down, but directly took the sampling tool to the side of the liquid nitrogen tank containing the high-level samples.
Zhang Baixin hesitated, and also took a few steps forward, almost touching Su Wan's arm, he knew that this might affect Su Wan's sampling, but he was even more afraid that Su Wan would have any accidents, although there was only an eyeball in front of him, but no one present had ever encountered a completion body above the 11th order, and he didn't know what kind of power the eyeball of the completion body would have.
So Zhang Baixin could only try to get closer to Su Wan, and looked at the girl with the scalpel in front of him without blinking, thinking that if there was any accidental injury, maybe he would have a chance to bear it instead of this girl.
Su Wan glanced at Zhang Baixin on the side of her arm, and did not speak, according to the standard operation manual, she only had 20 seconds to collect the sample after opening the liquid nitrogen specimen tank, of course, it is not impossible to take longer, but it is very likely to destroy the activity of the sample.
20 seconds is not short, it is not long, but it is enough for Su Wan to see clearly the eyeballs in a cloud of ice fog, and according to what Xie Guoping said before, she quickly found the location of the optic nerve at the root.
Su Wan's eyes tightened, and sure enough, there were some bright red flesh foams around the optic nerve.
"This should be the source of the signal detected by the life detector", Xie Guoping saw Su Wan open the jar, and also leaned over to take a look, pointing to the back half of the eyeball and said.
Su Wan didn't respond immediately, and the scalpel in her hand circled between her fingers like flying flowers, accurately scraping off the flesh foam that grew around the optic nerve.
"1......2......18......19......", Zhang Baixin counted the seconds softly on the side, and before he could count to 20, Su Wan closed the liquid nitrogen tank.
Su Wan let out a long sigh of relief, and a little sweat oozed from her forehead, to observe the overall structure of the sample at a glance, and to cut the newly grown meat foam evenly, the most important thing is to complete it within 20 seconds, and to complete a sample collection in less than 3 seconds, even Su Wan felt a little pressure.
"These newly grown flesh are much easier to handle than eyeballs." Xie Guoping saw it clearly, it was not easy to take a sample just now, if it wasn't for the scalpel being sharp enough, it would be difficult to remove even a little bit of flesh foam from the eyeball.
"What about Chen Xin's kid?" , Su Wan glanced around and found that Chen Xin hadn't rushed to the laboratory.
"We didn't notify him, not at the guest house." Zhang Baixin explained on the side that he had just received a message from the mercenary who went to find Chen Xin from the earphones.
"Looking for me?"
As soon as Zhang Baixin said that Chen Xin was not there, Chen Xin's voice actually appeared at the door, followed by a young man.
"There are 6 sample tissues here, you go and measure the ingredients first", Su Wan did not ask where Chen Xin went, for her, as long as someone helps her test these 6 samples now, the rest is not very important.
"Where did this come from?" Chen Xin looked at the sample box in Su Wan's hand with a puzzled expression, and still reached out to take the few boxes handed over by Su Wan.
Su Wan said 6 copies in her mouth, but she only gave Chen Xin 3 copies, and she kept half of it for herself, looking like she was going to test it separately from Chen Xin.
"That eyeball grows out of it." Xie Guoping pointed to the liquid nitrogen tank and said to Chen Xin.
"You opened it?" , Chen Xin asked with a surprised face, he didn't expect that he had only been away for two hours, and he had already made such a big breakthrough.
In the previous experiment, they were also worried that the eyeball would be damaged when sampling, but they did not expect that the hardness and toughness of this eyeball were far beyond imagination, whether it was high temperature or a sharp scalpel, none of them could break the structure of the finished eyeball, and even the epidermis could not cause damage.
If it weren't for the fear that the ultra-high temperature would destroy the integrity of the genes, Su Wan would even want to try the laser and ion beam.
"It's a new organization, get to work!" , Su Wan pointed at Chen Xin, and then pointed to the operating table, obviously not wanting Chen Xin to waste time asking more, and her tone was out of tone.
But Chen Xin didn't go to the console, but walked to Su Wan, "Director, I have an idea......
"Let's get to work first!" , Su Wan glanced at Chen Xin, raised her hand and pointed to the console.
Chen Xin still didn't move, but opened his mouth to say something, which surprised Zhang Baixin and Xie Guoping, who was moving things, in the impression that Chen Xin had always been obedient, and he was so tough today.
"More important", Chen Xin also found a change in himself, perhaps the battle with the gangsters in the port container made Chen Xin's mentality change, or maybe it was the danger that might happen next, forcing himself to harden, "We must retreat to Titan Island first." ”
Chen Xin's original intention was just to leave Jiangxin Island or the port settlement, the farther away the better, as for whether to go to Base 01 or Titan Island, he didn't care. On the contrary, because Su Wan's status on Titan Island is extremely high, and the legendary Xie Guoping is also by his side, he prefers to stay in Titan Company, after all, the treatment of Titan Company is much better than that of Base 01.
Therefore, Chen Xin still hoped to persuade Su Wan to retreat to the safety of Titan Island before the corpses rioted. As long as you withdraw to the main island of the Titan Corporation, countless modern strategic and tactical weapons, biological phase radars, and even nuclear bombs are heard, no matter how many zombies come to them, they will be given in vain.
Su Wan listened to what Chen Xin said, and actually had a somewhat undoubted tone, and she didn't even add possibilities or suggestions, she couldn't help but be a little surprised, tilted her head and looked at Chen Xin's half-pay before saying, "Reason? ”
It's a reason that can't be said clearly, Chen Xin's judgment is based on the plot of "Wasteland Survival Manual", and there is no basis for standing in reality at all, he hesitated for a moment, and could only say, "I went out just now, the density of zombies is far more than before, and in such a range, there are two corpses, a 7th-order mature body, and an 11th-order eyeball that I don't know where it came from, don't you think it's weird?" ”
"How dense is it?" As a researcher, I still believe in data more, so Su Wan heard Chen Xin's words and asked directly.
Chen Xinsheng's face turned red, without preparation, he was not good at opening his mouth to talk nonsense, and none of Su Wan and Xie Guoping present were easy to fool, and it would be counterproductive to report a data indiscriminately.
Su Wan saw that Chen Xin didn't speak, tilted her head forward slightly, and stared at Chen Xin's eyes expressionlessly.
Chen Xin turned his head sideways and glanced at Xie Guoping, but the future legendary adult also looked at Chen Xin with a serious face.
"Well, if you don't leave, I'll have to go first." Chen Xin said helplessly, he was just here to try to persuade Su Wan, compared to the high treatment of the Titan Company, Chen Xin was obviously more concerned about his own safety, if he couldn't, he could only take Xu Licheng and run away first.
"Where are you going?" , Xie Guoping kept looking at Chen Xin, and then asked when he heard that he was leaving. Xie Guoping's purpose of following Su Wan is very simple, one is the cracking result of the mature body sample, of course, there is also a suspected 11th-order advanced sample, and the other purpose is Chen Xin, his intuition tells him that following Chen Xin may make his ideal realize faster, although he doesn't know why, he is obviously just a researcher who is too weak to be presentable.
"Where to go? ......", hearing Xie Guoping's slightly bland question, Chen Xin suddenly became confused, and his eyes didn't know where to focus, he just thought about staying away from danger first, but he really didn't think about where to go, there were no people he cared about in the wasteland world, and there was no home, and after leaving Jiangxin Island, he didn't know where to go.
"Where to go? ......", Chen Xin came back to his senses in an instant, and repeated again, if he could persuade Xie Guoping to take him to the 01 base, it would naturally be very good, at least the chances of surviving in the 01 base were much greater.
Chen Xin smiled and asked Xie Guoping rhetorically, "Is Regiment Leader Xie back to Base 01?" Shall I go with you? ”
"Let's go? Don't let any of you go! Before Chen Xin's words fell, there was a thunderous shout at the door, and with the sound of human voices, the tapping sound of more than a dozen military boots also came from outside the laboratory.
