Wang Lu was stunned, don't exchange medicines? So what's the point of this deal? He hurriedly said: "Wait, you think about it again, you didn't even listen to the price I offered, believe me, it will definitely not make you feel at a loss." ”

The helmeted man's voice did not change at all: "Alien merchant, you have misunderstood. I mean, we don't trade in medicine, anyone who needs it, can take it. Of course, we would appreciate it if you could provide us with the necessary supplies. ”

Wang Lu was stunned on the spot, Rao is he has seen a lot in the last days, survivors, supernatural people, zombies, intelligent corpses, underworld, white way, life and death worlds are mixed like fish in water, but when he heard the words of the helmeted person, he was still stunned with his mouth half open.

Drugs for free? Give it to whoever wants it? So why did the people on both sides work desperately to open up the drugs that were supplied? Hungry? Tired of it?

The most hellish thing is that there are really such angels, idiots, fools, and living Lei Feng who don't keep a diary in this world, occupying a functioning pharmaceutical factory, but providing medicines to everyone for free? Is this a biochemical apocalypse or has Internacional achieved it?

Wang Lu stammered, "But, but...... Just now, why did you and the other group of people fight to the death with each other? What the hell are you fighting?! "Damn, what is Lao Tzu fighting for? Lao Tzu was stabbed in the arm!

The helmet wearer raised his hand and pointed to an incubator next to him and said, "We are fighting for it." ”

It was a small cabinet-like glass incubator with an unobstructed view of the inside. There was nothing else in the small box, except for a glass dish in the middle layer, and on the medium at the bottom of the glass dish was a layer of very fine hair-like mold.

Wang Lu stared at the mold in the glass, and the somewhat muffled voice of the helmet wearer came from his ears: "This is penicillin production strain No. 985, although the yield is a little lower than that of No. 989, it can be regarded as a stable and high-yield strain in China." We are staying at this pharmaceutical factory, not just for the sake of medicine, but to protect this penicillin-producing strain 985. ”

Wang Lu felt a little crazy: "Wait, I'm studying liberal arts." But if I'm not mistaken. Penicillin is naturally found in nature, and the common mildew on orange peel is a kind of penicillin, can you use it to even die for this thing? ”

The helmet wearer said, "You're right, Penicillium is widely distributed in the air, soil, and all kinds of things. Hundreds of species of Penicillium have been discovered worldwide. Among them, Penicillium chrysogenus, Penicillium punctum and other strains can produce penicillin in large quantities. However. In order to produce penicillin that can be used in therapy, penicillium in nature needs to be further selected and cultured. In fact, since the advent of penicillin produced by Penicillium flavour, after half a century of efforts by the medical community around the world, the use of mutagenesis breeding has increased the titer of penicillin fermentation by hundreds of times. However, the most valuable and efficient production is the Penicillium chrysogenesis mutant strain E-15.1 obtained by Lilly, and no progress has been made since then. Although China can produce penicillin itself, but the strains are far behind foreign countries, even if the existing strains put into production, its mother is also imported from abroad, and its production efficiency can not be compared with foreign countries. ”

"However, even such a strain, in the eyes of those of us who study medicine, is a treasure and an indispensable life-saving cure. If the strain in this incubator is destroyed, even if we can find the natural Penicillium flavour-producing bacteria from nature, we don't know how many years it will take to cultivate it into a strain that can be industrially produced. During this period, many people will lose their lives because of a small cold or a small rusty iron nail cutting their skin. ”

"We stick to Shuangwei Pharmaceutical, and what we protect with our lives is this small penicillin strain."

Wang Lu stared straight at the glass dish in the incubator, penicillin, this inconspicuous little thing, was actually watered with blood water, and he muttered, "Can't you think of a better way to store this thing?" Do you have to fight with others here? ”

The helmet wearer said: "If I have enough equipment at hand, I can use vacuum freeze-drying method, which can preserve the strain for 5 to 10 years, but unfortunately, Shuangwei Pharmaceutical, where I work, is just an ordinary small pharmaceutical factory, so I can only use a low-temperature preservation method to put the strain directly into the 4~5 °C refrigerator." This method is the simplest, but the flaw is obvious, that is, the storage time is generally not more than 3 months, at which time it must be transferred and passed on, and then put back in the refrigerator. So, we can't just change places until we find a new and stable place. In fact, the penicillin we produce today is a by-product of transfer. ”

Wang Lu let out a long breath, he withdrew his gaze from the incubator, and looked directly at the helmeted person: "I don't understand one thing. You are preserving penicillium strains and providing medicine for free, which is really a good deed like a living bodhisattva, but why do people still want to kill you, and you have to get rid of them as soon as possible? This—it doesn't make sense at all! ”

Ruan Jie interjected next to him: "It's not people who attack us - what I'm saying is that the mastermind behind them is not a person, it's a very powerful intelligent corpse. It sent its zombie corpses to capture many human survivors, threatening their families and their own lives, forcing them to attack Shuangwei Pharmaceutical in an attempt to destroy the Penicillium strain. Because for the Wise Corps, penicillin, which can save human survivors, should not exist, and without penicillin treatment, we survivors will die faster. ”

Wang Luyi frowned and muttered, "Is it a smart corpse attack?" This is reasonable, the intelligent corpses and humans do not share the sky, and it is reasonable that they cannot see the existence of penicillin, which human beings rely on. But......" His words suddenly changed: "What makes me wonder is that the intelligent corpse hidden behind the scenes, why didn't he take advantage of the number of zombies and drown this small pharmaceutical factory, but instead drove the human survivor traitors to attack?" I've just experienced an extremely dangerous battle to the death, and if there are dozens of zombies in the opposing human team, then we will definitely lose! ”

"Excuse me, can you tell me. Why did the other party's intelligent corpse do such a thankless thing? The last sentence was asked by Wang Lu looking directly at the helmeted man.

The helmet wearer said lightly: "Have you seen through it?" I'm sorry, but I'm not doing this against you, just to prevent ......"

"I just want to prevent the other party's intelligent corpse from possible brainwave interference, right?" Wang Lu asked tightly.

The helmet wearer raised his hand, gently took off the helmet, and exposed it in front of Wang Lu, just a public face, if it was placed before, after Wang Lu saw such a face, he would forget it within three minutes of turning back. But now. But this face is unforgettable to anyone, because there is a huge scar that has been bitten alive by his teeth, and occupies the left side of his face, through the wound. You can see half of his gum bones. The hideous wound was dripping black corpse fluid all the time. Anyone else. If there was such a scar on the face, it would have died long ago due to wound infection, even if it was immortal. It will also be painful to die. But the helmet man in front of Wang Lu was expressionless, as if the wound on his face was flowing with black corpse fluid, no more painful than an ant's bite.

Wise corpse, he's a smart corpse!

Wang Lu finally knew where the strange but familiar feeling came from when he saw the helmeted person, because the tone of the helmeted person's speech was the same as that of Li Yong and Ding Wei, and it was always stereotyped and did not rise and fall in tone, just like the pronunciation software read out of the computer.

The wisdom corpse, which protects the penicillium strain and protects the human medical fire, is actually a wisdom corpse. And at the same time, the one who attacked him and wanted to kill him and the strain he protected was also a smart corpse. But it was the human survivors who accepted the orders of the two wise corpses to fight bravely for this different goal.

Is there anything more absurd and bizarre in this world?!

"My name is Lu Qiping, and I am a middle-level cadre of this Shuangwei Pharmaceutical. After the Resident Evil outbreak, I was on duty in the unit, and because it was a day off, there weren't many workers on the workshop. In those days, there were a lot of people who took leave because of illness, and the production could not catch up with the schedule, but I called the boss, but I couldn't get through. And then...... We've all been through the aftermath, zombies, cannibalism, infection, mutations, ......"

"I was lucky, relying on my familiarity with the terrain in the factory, I escaped the first wave of zombie attacks, because there was a lot of food stored in the enterprise canteen, and eating and drinking were not a problem for a while. My home is in a foreign country, and I can't go back anyway, I can only live one day at a time. ”

However, such pure days were not long. As a pharmaceutical company, Shuangwei Pharmaceutical was naturally targeted by the survivors, and after the initial fight against zombies gained a firm foothold, survivors continued to come to Shuangwei Pharmaceutical to find medicines. I only have one person, I can't beat them, fortunately they came together, and they clashed with each other for the sake of drugs, I took the opportunity to suggest to them, Shuangwei Pharmaceutical mainly produces traditional Chinese medicine powders, this thing is also to cure the general cold, but the real good thing is penicillin, I keep the penicillium strain on hand, as long as it can provide sufficient electricity and production raw materials, it will continue to produce penicillin that can save lives. ”

"Everyone knows the importance of penicillin, and I am the only one who knows how to produce it with penicillium strains, so several survivors agreed to my conditions, and naturally saved my life, and solved the problem of long-term food by the way. Among these survivors, there is Ruan Jie, the team he led at that time was the largest number of personnel, if he didn't agree with such a distribution plan, if he had to rely on his strength to fight hard, it would be another fight between everyone, and Shuangwei Pharmaceutical and penicillin would also be monopolized in his hands. ”

"The production process of penicillin is not complicated, and even as long as there is corn and other grains as the medium, the soil method can be launched. The production equipment in Shuangwei Pharmaceutical is relatively new, and when the Resident Evil broke out, it was consciously protected by me, so it was not damaged, and as soon as it was put into production, a large amount of penicillin was produced. Ruan Jie decided to supply penicillin to the survivors of Quanninghai County at a fair price, and he didn't know how many people were saved. ”

"Originally, everything was very peaceful, the battles between the survivors and the zombies broke out from time to time, the zombies could not conquer the strong strongholds of the survivors, and the survivors could not kill all the zombies, the penicillin we produced was all over the county, and correspondingly, the materials exchanged also made us worry about food and clothing. I thought that such a simple day as my previous pre-apocalyptic work would continue, but I didn't expect it. The Wise Corpse appeared. ”

"The appearance of the intelligent corpse has completely changed the situation of zombies spinning around like flies without heads, and the zombies' attacks on our survivors have become orderly, and small settlements are constantly being breached by organized zombies. What's even worse is that not long ago, a powerful intelligent corpse appeared, fully understanding the importance of penicillin to human survivors in the last days, so it organized a large number of zombies to attack Shuangwei Pharmaceutical. ”

"I still remember that the overwhelming zombies were rolling in, Ruan Jie and the others resisted desperately, but they still couldn't stop it. Seeing the zombies break through the gate. Rushed into the yard and was about to storm the workshop. At this time, the zombies suddenly retreated like a tidal tide at a low tide. ”

"I think. You should have guessed what happened. Yes. I. Lu Qiping, because after blocking the zombie attack, he was bitten on the face and was infected with a biochemical virus. Mutated into a sapient corpse. Under my order, the zombies who attacked Shuangwei Pharmaceutical, at the last moment, retreated. ”

"Later, the matter was very simple, the other party's smart corpse found that it was impossible to use zombies to conquer Shuangwei Pharmaceutical, which was protected by my smart corpse, and it instead captured many survivors and forced them to come to attack Shuangwei Pharmaceutical, and even expelled the zombies within a few kilometers of the surrounding area in order to prevent me from using zombies to protect the pharmaceutical factory. On our side, Ruan Jie and other survivors in the city understood the importance of penicillin, and after we provided penicillin free of charge, volunteers continued to join the team to protect Shuangwei Pharmaceutical. ”

"Friends from outside, you have also learned about what happened later, and even personally participated in our war, and helped us to win the victory, although this victory is short-lived, and the other side will soon come back, but we still have to thank you."

Wang Lu looked at Lu Qiping, he didn't know what to say, he hesitated for a while: "I don't understand a little, you are a smart corpse, aren't you a natural enemy with our survivors?" Why protect us, protect penicillium strains? ”

Lu Qiping said indifferently: "I don't think there is any essential difference between the intelligent corpse and the human being, yes, my body is alienated, but in my heart, I am still a person." ”

Wang Lu's pupils shrank suddenly, and he stared at Lu Qiping and said: "As far as I know, when the intelligent corpse was just transformed, its intelligence and memory were not fully recovered, although it was smarter than the zombie, but it often couldn't even speak, why did you keep such a good memory, and even at the beginning of the mutation, you also understood the importance of protecting penicillin?" ”

He paused: "Have you ever eaten someone?!" ”

Before Lu Qiping could speak, Ruan Jie rushed to the side and said: "Lu Qiping has never eaten people, you are right, the intelligent corpse does need human flesh and blood to evolve, when Lu Qiping just transformed, he was not as smart as he is now, and he couldn't even speak, but he would already help us resist the attack of the zombies at that time." So we volunteered to draw blood to feed him, at first we didn't know that feeding flesh and blood could make him evolve, just thinking that the more Lu Qiping ate, the more capable he was to protect us, so everyone took blood to feed him regardless of their lives, but I didn't expect it to work, Lu Qiping became smarter and smarter. Later, even I obeyed his commands, because he was the only one who could fight the wise corpse outside. ”

Lu Qiping looked directly at Wang Lu and said: "Whether you believe it or not, this is the case, if you want to ask me why I knew how to protect Ruan Jie and protect the Penicillium strain at the beginning of the mutation." I didn't know myself, the only possibility was that after I was infected with a biochemical virus, I rushed to the hospital in order to save my life, and I once self-injected a large dose of penicillin. The amount of dosage even made me wonder if I ended up dying from a penicillin allergy or a biochemical virus, but when I mutated into a sapient corpse, I was bent on protecting the penicillium strain. ”

Wang Lu nodded slowly: "We still don't know anything about the mechanism of the biochemical virus, and it is entirely possible for you to retain a certain amount of memory after becoming a smart corpse." It's just that I still don't understand one thing. He looked at Ruan Jie, then at Lu Qiping, and said clearly word by word: "Both, I have never known you all my life, and I got involved in this war about penicillin by mistake, why are you so honest with me to tell me all the causes and consequences, please don't tell me, it's because I look like a good person." ”

Ruan Jie looked at Lu Qiping, Lu Qiping looked directly at Wang Lu and said: "Because I sensed your brain waves, your incomparable brain waves, I believe that if we want to end this protracted war, we must get your help." ”

Wang Lu was stunned, and immediately remembered that when he and Tang Hui had just entered the industrial park and were attacked, he had indeed summoned zombies to help, but he didn't expect that the zombies in the left few square kilometers were all driven away by the smart corpses, so that he called the heavens and the earth unexpected, but was rescued by Ruan Jie and others, and was involved in this penicillin battle.

Lu Qiping pointed to the helmet he took off: "Your brain waves are so powerful, I thought the other party had found a helper, so I quickly put the helmet on so as not to be affected by you." But later, Ruan Jie reported to me that you and your companion were sniped by the other party, and I was worried that it was a trap, so I asked Ruan Jie to rescue you into Shuangwei Pharmaceutical, which actually controlled you. After the other party launched an attack, I asked Ruan Jie to force you to go to battle, just to see when you showed your feet. But I didn't expect that I despised the other party, but fortunately, thanks to your desperate battle, I was able to protect Shuangwei Pharmaceutical and protect the penicillium strain. I believe that you are not hostile to us, otherwise, if you had caused chaos within us when the hole in the wall was blown open, I would have been a corpse by now. So, I hope to get your help, to get the help of a strong person with such strong brain waves, and I will tell you the truth, in order to confess my honesty to you. (To be continued......)
