Cao Chao nodded in agreement, sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Alas, in just a few days, the whole world has completely changed, I have lived for most of my life, countless people under the scalpel, and I think I have seen many unimaginable things, but what I have seen in the past two days is even more than what I have seen in most of my life, I don't know how many times." ”

Liu Xingyu was also full of emotion in his heart, stretched out his finger and pointed to the ceiling above his head and said: "This is the inpatient building, after the apocalypse, will there be no living corpses?" ”

"Yes, they were all cleaned up by my organization, otherwise, where would so many people gather."

Liu Xingyu silently estimated the total number of people gathered here, and asked, "Here, there are dozens of people in total." ”

"67 people," Cao Chao said frankly, "I worry about the food and drink of so many people every day." ”

"This, how can the people who go out to collect supplies only have such a little?" Liu Xingyu asked puzzled.

Cao Chao was also full of helplessness, and sighed: "In addition to the old and weak children, as well as people in research, logistics, etc., there are only so many people who can go out to collect materials." ”

"Research?" Liu Xingyu stopped at his feet and was surprised.

"Oh, it seems that Mr. Liu is very interested, let's go, I'll take you to have a look."

After speaking, Cao Chao took Liu Xingyu and went up to the third floor, which was originally the central real room of the central hospital, as well as the biochemical laboratory and office, and now all the sophisticated automatic testing instruments have been completely scrapped, but some basic testing instruments, such as microscopes and whatever, can still come in handy.

There were six people in the real room in the center, sitting around the desk, with a small candle emitting a faint orange light, talking there, and when they saw Cao Chao bringing people in, they hurriedly jumped up and greeted respectfully.

"You talk, you talk," Cao Chao was very kind, stretched out his hand and said, "Give me a candle, and I'll take this Mr. Liu to see the living corpse specimen." ”

The specimens of the living corpses are placed next to the real room in the center, and on the shelves of the whole wall, there are dozens of large glass jars, which are formalin-soaked specimens, and most of them are dissected living corpse heads.

"How is it, did you see the Dian Ming Hall?" Cao Chao asked a little proudly.

"This is a specimen arranged in chronological order of transformation of living corpses?"

"Yes," Cao Chao replied, "the longer it takes to transform into a living corpse, the less fluid and fat there is in the body, and the brain, you see, the cerebral cortex and cerebral medulla, are slowly replaced by this honeycomb spongy thing." If this trend continues, the final appearance of the living corpse will be like a dried corpse, with a honeycomb spongy mass in the head, nerve endings connected to every muscle fiber, and the whole body, except for bones, muscles, tendons, skin, nerves, and the honeycomb spongy brain, there is nothing else. ”

Liu Xingyu nodded in response: "This means that the living corpse will be stronger, more powerful, and more agile." However, I have encountered living corpses with a strong sense of smell, and a leader of the living corpses. ”

"Ah, there are still living corpses like this, where?" Cao Chao asked in surprise.

"I killed you, and I was chased by a group of living corpses, who would have thought that anyone would be able to study this." Liu Xingyu replied with regret.

I have to say that after reading Cao Chao's research results on living corpses, as well as feeling the harmonious atmosphere in this small group on the spot, Liu Xingyu obviously felt that the gap between the "Xingyu Dragon Rider" he participated in the creation of the Shenguan Bay Hotel and this small group was simply too big to be expected.

He was invited by Fang Xuyuan, originally just wanted to give those people in the hotel some courage to live, as well as some advice, but in the end he set up a small organization, but on the night of the establishment of the "Xingyu Dragoon", he watched coldly and keenly noticed that those people were just keen on uniting vertically and horizontally, and the eight characters of "Xingyu Dragoon" had not yet been skimmed, forming gangs and fighting for power and profit, and it had already begun.

This realization strengthened his determination to be a lone ranger in the apocalypse.

Now, seeing Cao Chao's situation here, although Liu Xingyu felt quite shocked, his determination to be a lone ranger in the apocalypse had not weakened at all, but he didn't mind helping others when necessary.

After visiting the center's real room, Cao Chao talked about Xingzhong, Liu Xingyu was also happy, and the two returned to Cao Chao's office and chatted until 2 o'clock in the morning before they dispersed.

When Liu Xingyu returned to the VIP outpatient area on the first floor, Fang Xuyuan's three daughters had already rested. Early the next morning, after a brief discussion, Liu Xingyu left half of the knife and handed it to Cao Chao to equip the personnel who went out to collect materials, whether it was strengthened and evolved, whether it was against living corpses or planetary beasts, a knife in hand was better than bare-handed.

Before leaving, Liu Xingyu was very pleased to see that Cao Chao accepted his advice, whether it was a researcher or a logistics staff, as long as they could walk and cut with a knife, they were all formed into several groups and took turns to go out to collect supplies, and even half-grown children were accompanied by someone to explore around the hospital.

Walking out of the distance, under the shroud of green fog, the gate of the central hospital can no longer be seen, Chen Yuzhu is still there and frequently turns back, Chen Yubi couldn't help but whispered: "Sister, you are so reluctant, why didn't you just stay?" ”

Chen Yuzhu glanced at her sister and replied in a low voice: "Where is it reluctant, I just, just, I think it's too dangerous and cruel to let everyone, including children, leave the hospital to collect supplies." ”

Liu Xingyu walked in front and shook his head secretly in his heart, but he was not ready to talk about Chen Yuzhu on this matter.

"Cruel?" Chen Yubi asked in a low voice, "Sister, what time is it now, the end of the world, everyone is precarious, if you don't work hard, there is only one way to die, and no one is obliged to be responsible for the life and death and survival of others." ”

"But, alas, those researchers, forget it, don't talk about it." Chen Yuzhu sighed lightly, with a thick sense of helplessness in her words.

Fang Xuyuan interjected and said: "Yubi is right, now everyone can only be responsible for their own life and death and survival, if one day, there can be a safe area, can rebuild society and order, these researchers, naturally, can use their research results to exchange with others, in exchange for their safety and survival needs." But not yet, if Director Cao keeps letting them stay in the hospital and avoid the sinister outside, that is the greatest cruelty. ”

After listening to what Chen Yubi and Fang Xuyuan said, Liu Xingyu was greatly relieved, although the two women didn't know that Cao Chao had listened to his advice and built a new one, so they made up their minds to do so, but at least, they could understand the necessity of doing so, as well as the hard work behind it.

In an instant, Liu Xingyu put Chen Yubi and Fang Xuyuan into the category of confidants, while Chen Yuzhu still carried the brilliance of "Our Lady" and was respected by him.

"Well," Chen Yuzhu said quietly, "I hope that one day, I can build such a safe area, rebuild society, and rebuild order." ”

Such a grand wish is very compatible with Chen Yuzhu's image of "Our Lady", Liu Xingyu is a little crying and laughing at this, at least for now, it is impossible to realize this grand wish in the foreseeable future.

The four of them went all the way to the south, hurrying silently, far away from the place where the sharp-billed birds gathered in large numbers, only to have some living corpses and planetary beasts appear, as long as the number is not too much, with Liu Xingyu here, it is basically to send evolution points to the four of them. After Liu Xingyu evolved and upgraded, his body, reaction, and strength have made great progress from a few days ago, carrying a huge backpack, he is still agile, and it is only a little effort to kill the fanged pig that he originally thought was difficult to entangle.

It's just that most of the residential communities and commercial centers that I passed along the way were dead silent, and even if there were moving objects, most of them were living corpses or the like, which made Liu Xingyu feel very depressed and helpless. It has been nearly a week since the end came, and these people who are hiding in the house have not yet recognized the reality, mustered up the courage, stepped out of the house, and bravely faced the challenges of the apocalypse.

Crossing Shenguan Avenue, the four of them cautiously approached the door of the Shenguan Bay Hotel, for fear of alarming the group of living corpses entrenched in the Spanish boat bar. The door of the hotel is wide open, like an open black mouth, which looks very eerie.

"What's the matter, they, aren't they ......?" Chen Yuzhu took the lead and whispered anxiously.
