Chapter 3 Bold Ideas
"I'm trying to improve No. 1, hoping to make zombies so calm in the face of blood, maybe the key to the zombie vaccine is in No. 1 medicine." Dr. Ali said with confidence.
"Come on! The zombies are improving, the IQ of the first corpse is recovering, and we can't lag behind them. ”
"The revival of zombie IQ is actually a good thing for humans, if it is paired with our No. 1 potion," Dr. Ali said, "Maybe the essence of zombies will not fully return to humans, but they may be able to coexist peacefully with humans." ”
No attacking people + sane = rational zombies = another model of humans
That's not bad, killing isn't necessarily the eternal solution.
"The director has decided to implement the first zombie transformation plan, today they go to clear the street, the zombies will stay alive, the soldiers today are all narcotic shooting guns, the needle tube is not anesthetic, but No. 1 medicine." Dr. Ali's eyebrows lit up, and she was very excited.
"Huh? Trying to get so many zombies back to the Institute? There are at least a few dozen zombies in the whole street. "I'm a little uneasy, I've never worried about any big things happening to these zombies in the laboratory, but it's a bit risky to get back dozens or even hundreds?
Dr. Ali laughed, "Oh, don't worry! This part of the experiment was conducted outside the facility, and we cleaned up a psychiatric hospital with enough sturdy wards to isolate the new zombies. Besides, you've also seen the reaction of zombies after being injected with No. 1 potion, which is basically stupid and doesn't pose a big threat. ”
"This is no better, even if dozens of zombies collectively transform into berserk mode, we have the ability to kill them." I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Don't keep thinking about killing and killing in the future, zombies may return to human society, look at them in a different light, if they no longer hurt people and can still communicate with you, can you still do it?" Dr. Ali corrected me.
I moved my lips, this is a matter within the scope of science, I am not qualified to speak, Dr. Ali refreshed my three views, is she asking me to prepare psychologically, and treat zombies as human beings in the future?
Seeing my confused expression, Dr. Ali whispered, "Sister Duo, from a medical point of view, your mother-in-law is actually an infected person, but she is so normal, would you see her as a zombie?" ”
I immediately shook my head loudly, "Of course not!" My mother-in-law she, she is not the same as them! ”
"The difference is that she is sane and not bloodthirsty, but her body is indeed infiltrated by the zombie virus. If the zombies can also wake up from the rage and eat normally, what difference is there between them and the elderly? "Dr. Ali is a good follower.
"Reducing the control of the zombie virus on the human brain and restoring the sanity of human beings, even if the virus on the body is still there, it is just a sick "patient", a sick person, and a human being. Adam added, "Potion 1 can't be called a zombie antidote, but it minimizes the damage and control of the virus to the brain, in fact, if you think about your mother-in-law's healing method backwards, it's simple." ”
Although I couldn't turn my head around for a while, I could probably understand it.
The mother-in-law's treatment plan is to use the zombie virus with reduced activity to kill the harmful cells in her body, and the No. 1 agent is not to artificially reduce the activity of the zombie virus in the zombie corpse.
"In this case, I will think twice before seeing zombies in the future, maybe the other party will become my new neighbor in the future." I say optimistically.
Dr. Ali and Adam laughed at me when Onkyo walked in.
"Ah, Sister Duo is also here." Onkyo nodded hurriedly to me, and then said to Dr. Ali, "They moved fast, today's results are remarkable, sixty zombies have been sent to the mental hospital, take their things, and leave immediately, we have to be busy." ”
Not only Dr. Ali, but also the other researchers in the laboratory were also roaring and preparing, all of them were dispatched.
"Dr. An, you can't all go and greet new guests, these zombies used for experiments in the building won't be left unattended, right?" I've always had a strong sense of security, and even though I'm a layman, I can't help but warn of me.
Onkyo smiled and waved his hand, "How is that possible?" That would be too unprofessional. There are people left behind, and the zombies are in the isolation room, and they can't escape if they break their heads, so don't worry. ”
Her unprofessional sentence made my old face blush, and my question did seem very unprofessional.
"There will be more and more shortages in the future." Dr. Ali said to Adam, "Let's help, you spend a lot of time in the lab every day, right?" You can be my assistant now. ”
Adam nodded confidently and skillfully helped Dr. Ali pack up his things, only I had two empty claws, not daring to touch anything in the lab.
"How can I help? Don't be polite to me, Ali. "I really want to contribute to this great treatment.
Dr. Ali shoved a large bag into my arms, "You are bold, you are not afraid of zombies, come with me, do you want to talk to Canaan?" ”
"I'll just find someone to bring him a letter."
In this way, I got into a large van with more than twenty experts and doctors, and was escorted by the soldiers in another military vehicle to the psychiatric hospital, which was eight or nine blocks from the research center, almost to the outskirts of the city, and there was silence around it, a safe area that had been recaptured, and not far away was a high thick concrete wall.
The towering walls of the psychiatric hospital enclose the entire hospital tightly, standing outside the wall there is nothing to see except for half of the cold wall, the door of the hospital is closed, it is a whole thick copper door, not the kind of carved railing, in this cold afternoon looks particularly cold and gloomy.
The two warriors guarded the gate, and when they saw the vehicles coming, they quickly opened the gate outward, causing the two cars to rush in, and then closed the heavy gate again.
The courtyard of the hospital is very large, the ground is marked with a white line of parking spaces, our car is parked near the door of the hospital building, everyone is not noisy, get off the car in order steadily, and follow Li Jinzheng towards the building.
There are also soldiers standing guard at the entrance of the building, but more gun-wielding guards are concentrated in the intensive care ward where the zombies are held, there are about twenty of them, they stand silently outside the ward waiting for the members of the institute, this ward is too quiet, and the characteristic roar of the zombies can not be heard from the wards on both sides of the corridor, but the environment is still terrifying.
This is the first time I have come to the legendary mental hospital, but I didn't expect the wards to be designed like prison cells, with a double tin door and a lookout at the head, which can be opened to observe the situation in the ward. In order to prevent the patient from reaching out and hurting others, there is also a thin iron net that can be opened and closed freely on the outside.
From the observation of the ward, you can see that there are all zombies alone or curled up or standing and shaking in a daze, if the zombies who have been injected with No. 1 medicine are not full of rotten and black faces, they really seem to be a group of patients in a trance, and there are even zombies looking up at the unreachable small window on the wall opposite the door, and the small window less than half a meter is still embedded with iron rods, even if they transform into geckos and can climb into the air, they can't get out, and being locked in such a room is simply inescapable.
The doctors only took a cursory look at the zombies in the ward, then went to the infirmary, took out the instruments they had brought, and began to prepare to take blood samples on the zombies.
I followed Dr. Ali and saw how busy she was, so I asked, "How can I help?" ”
Dr. Ali said, without raising her head, "Accompany me into the ward for a while to protect me from being attacked." ”
I touched the katana behind me, in fact, I didn't use a weapon at all after returning to Chengdu, but this long knife has almost become a part of my body after the end of the world, and I will be used to carrying it behind me every day when I go out.
"Don't take their lives lightly," Dr. Ali quickly reminded me when he saw me touching the knife, "If there is one that is not sensitive to the potion, just stop it, and I will exit the room as fast as I can." ”
Can't kill them yet? But it's not too difficult to deal with one end, and after thinking about it, I took off the long knife with its sheath and held it in my hand.
Dr. Ali stood outside the door of one of the wards with tools in his hand and said to the soldier with a bunch of keys in his hand, "Please open the door." ”
"Doctor, aren't you waiting for the warriors to protect you in?" The little soldier in charge of opening the door asked a little hesitantly, the other fighters had already accompanied other doctors and experts into different wards, and there would be no extra fighters.
"The zombies that have been injected with the drug are very little threatening, and I have someone to protect, open the door." Dr. Ali looked at Adam and me beside him and smiled.
The little soldier glanced at the long knife in my hand and my "resolute" expression, and opened the door without saying anything more, and said as he opened it, "If there is an emergency, rush out and push the door shut to relock it." ”
As soon as the door opened, we saw that the zombie in this room was a man, not tall, and very thin, with a relatively complete face, but missing an eyeball.
When it saw someone entering the house, its first reaction was not to bite, but to be stunned, neither advancing nor retreating, and the pestle was on the side of the wall as if it had been pointed.
I aimed the long knife at it from a distance, and if it dared to come, I would poke it back! And make up another big kick to make Ya fall on all fours, so that Ali and I have time to escape. I was secretly planning in my heart.
Adam stepped forward directly, pressed the zombie's shoulders and let it sit on the edge of the ward, the zombie sat down obediently as if unconscious, and just wanted to move, but Adam clamped his two forearms.
"Ali, let's get started." Adam said lightly, skillful, big brother!
Dr. Ali took out a large needle and pierced the zombie's artery, pumping out the thick black blood hard, the zombie was a little uneasy, his butt was raised, and his head shook, as if he wanted to break free from Adam's confinement, I saw this and quickly blocked the zombie's neck with a knife and sheath, so that its head kept a distance from Dr. Ali.
