"I've observed him, he doesn't have the bloodthirsty desire of zombies in his eyes when facing humans, he still feeds on ordinary food." Dr. Ali added.

"Did you ask him to his face? Do you want to eat people, well, that kind of question. ”

Of course, as a research subject, he asked, and he replied that he didn't want to eat it. But I won't rely on his answer as the final verdict, I'll observe it myself. ”

"Ali, I think this virus research institute is amazing, it's been three years since the end of the world, and human civilization is gradually disappearing, but this place is more high-tech than any unit I've seen before the end of the world, and there is even electricity, which is incredible." I felt that Ali had seen much more than I had before, and I couldn't help but ask her questions.

Ali smiled disapprerovingly, "Duoduo, you are an ordinary person, you don't understand how huge the investment in this kind of high-risk unit is, if the virus wants to remain active, it must be in a strict environment, once the environment changes, the precious virus may die or mutate, and the other is security, such a virus center security requirements are level 1, even if the whole city is blacked out, the virus cannot be arbitrarily entered and exited, this is also to prevent the virus from leaking and bringing huge disasters to mankind." In these two cases, the requirements for electricity are very high. In order to ensure this absolute environment, all virus research institutions will have their own power generation system, which must ensure that the external power is cut off for ten or even twenty years, and the original environment must be maintained within the institution. ”

"Ahh I was amazed, what a cow!

"There is also food and drinking water, the Institute of Virology itself is an isolated unit, don't look at your Celestial Empire to build it within the scope of human habitation, but usually the staff of this department will definitely not go in and out without anything, our virus research institute in the United States requires the staff to be not allowed to go out in the institute for many years, and out of humanitarianism, it will arrange accommodation and even peripheral work for the families of the staff, so that the researchers of the center can also do scientific research in the unit with peace of mind. In this way, the survival system of the entire research institution needs to be very perfect, even to the standard of self-sufficiency. That's why I'm so relieved about the food they served last night, and if I wasn't surprised, there are several floors in this building that have a dedicated livelihood system, and there will even be vegetable cultivation and animal farming, as well as a water purification system. Dr. Ali said confidently.

"The Doctor really knows us." A mechanical female voice suddenly sounded in the room, startling me.

Dr. Ali smiled at the room, "Why, isn't my friend going to meet us yet?" Still skeptical about our identity? Whether I'm a virrologist or not, I'll find out when I get to the lab. ”

"Now I don't doubt the Doctor's identity, please go to the elevator and take the elevator to the thirtieth floor." I'll be waiting for you there. ”

I hurriedly asked, "Can we go together?" ”

"You're virus researchers, too?" The mechanical female voice asked, and my face flushed.

"No, but I'm the doctor's bodyguard......" I replied weakly, my neck was red, I was pretending to be cool and whispering, but I didn't have someone like that.

On this trip to Chengdu, Dr. Ali specially asked Liang Qingyan to stay and help guard the town, so he didn't come together.

"Okay, the Doctor's bodyguard can go along." I didn't expect the other party to agree.

"What about the others? They're also the Doctor's bodyguards. "I'll have to fight for the other partners, how can they rest assured that we're going to go it alone.

"The thirtieth floor is a research room, you can't come up too many unrelated personnel, I'm sorry, the doctor's bodyguard is only with one." Sure enough, he was ruthlessly rejected.

"It's okay, Duoduo, just go up with me. Let's go and let them know. Dr. Ali was calm.

Some of the friends hadn't gotten up yet, and when they heard that we were going to leave to see the master, they didn't worry about asking for a piece, but I reluctantly told them that the machine mistress wouldn't let them, so they could wait for us back on the twentieth floor with peace of mind.

They didn't have a choice, so they just watched us get on the elevator and leave the twentieth floor.

I believe that when we step out of the elevator on the 30th floor, the elevator must be closed again.

At the elevator entrance on the thirtieth floor, there are three "living people", and we have finally broken away from the communication with the "mechanical heroine".

Standing in the middle was a short, but sturdy middle-aged man, about fifty years old, with a face full of vicissitudes, thick hair, and a pair of wise eyes staring at us quietly, he had a herringbone beard.

Behind him stood a man and a woman, the man was of medium height, slightly younger, in his thirties, with a square chin, a pair of rimless glasses, and a scholarly face.

The woman is also about thirty years old, what does she look like, to be honest, it looks like my mother when she was young, thin melon seed face, light eyebrows, small single phoenix eyes, small straight nose, thin lips, although delicate, but with a sense of seriousness, my mother relied on this appearance back then, became a magic weapon for the kindergarten teacher to scare disobedient children, don't cry, cry again Duoduo Mom will come! My mom laughed and said she was being treated like a big bad wolf. In fact, it is because of her temperament that she is not angry and arrogant, which is quite bluffing to children.

After looking at each other for about five seconds, the man in the lead spoke, "Hello, Dr. Ali. My name is Li Jinzheng, and I am the person in charge here, and I am also the chief virus expert. Then he pointed to the man behind him: "Just call him a drunken cat, my assistant." He pointed to the delicate woman, "My student, Onkyo." ”

After Li Jinzheng's brief introduction, Dr. Ali nodded and politely introduced me to them.

"Dr. Lee, can I call you that?" Dr. Ali asked.

"Feel free, you can call me by my name, all names are just code names." Although Li Jin's face is serious, he is not informal.

"Are you the only three of you?" Since we came to the thirtieth floor and saw only the three of them, Dr. Ali had to ask questions.

"There are 200 people in this building, hehe, they are all in their posts." Li Jinzheng took the lead and walked towards the research room.

I was secretly surprised that from last night until now, we didn't feel that there were so many people in this building at all!

"Didn't the virus outbreak have an impact on you?" Dr. Ali was also very surprised.

"How could it not have an effect? Originally, there were a few thousand staff members in this building, but now there are only 200 left. "Li Jinzheng led us to the entrance of the research room, and motioned for us to put on the sealed suit hanging on the wall, this suit is very similar to our protective suit, it is estimated that Dr. Ali was also based on the kind of isolation suit that he wore when he was doing virus research in the past.

After being dressed and subjected to a spray of disinfection, we entered the inner room of the laboratory.

I found that the inner door of this research room needs Li Jinzheng's fingerprint verification, I wonder if his two assistants have this permission?

As soon as I entered the inner room, I was shocked again, I couldn't hear the sound in the research room in the corridor at all, and I didn't expect that there were no less than dozens of staff members busy inside.

In the huge glassware, zombies were soaked in nutrient solution naked, with many tubes inserted into their bodies, they all seemed to be dormant, not struggling, but definitely alive.

"You're not afraid of them coming out of nowhere...... "I think that's too dangerous!"

"These glasses are all bulletproof, even if you let a tiger or lion go, you can't get out." Ankyo gently explained beside me that Li Jinzheng would definitely disdain to answer such a question.

"Is this researching?" Dr. Ali pushed down her glasses and looked sensitively at the tables, which were full of instruments.

"Zombie properties and activity." Li Jin was standing in front of the glass cover of a female zombie, the body of the zombie was very complete, if it wasn't for the fact that the whole body was thin and blue, it would almost be impossible to tell that it was a zombie.

"After humans mutate into zombies, their bodies will change essentially, and they also have metabolism, but it is so slight that it is almost negligible, so even if they don't eat for a long time, they won't starve to death." "When the virus invades the human body, it quickly excretes water from the body, which prevents the protein from rotting, a process similar to the mummification of corpses in Egypt," Lee continued. ”

"Although they have a strong devouring nature towards humans, they do not live by cannibalism. In fact, the flesh and blood they eat will only be corroded by the sulfuric acid in their bodies, but they will not absorb much. Zombies seem to exist to spread the virus, and the best way to spread the virus is through bloodstream infection, which is why they bite desperately. ”

"Dr. Li, since they don't need to eat people to survive, they just want to spread the virus, so if they bite and see blood, they can spread, why do they have to eat people endlessly?" I caught a cow and wanted to ask a few more questions, well, I'm a very studious Duoduo.

"The virus gives orders to the human brain to bite uninfected humans, but after all, it is only a virus, and it cannot refine the command. And the human brain, which has lost its thinking, cannot grasp this degree. Dr. Ali answered for Li Jinzheng.

Li Jinzheng nodded approvingly, "We have been immersed in research in this institute for three years, and the purpose is not only to create a zombie vaccine, but also to save humans who have not yet been infected." We have been working on how to treat the humans who have been infected and mutated, that is, the zombies, even if they can restore their sanity, restore the sanity of the humans, and then further help them control the desire to eat people, in the process, if the drug can finally be developed to completely kill the zombie virus, then the zombies can turn back into humans. ”

"Ahh I think of Paul, who once kept him in the hope of such a day, but it was too late.
