Ancient Zombie Apocalypse: Leading Her Clan to Dominate

Wei Xiyin transmigrated, reincarnating as the legitimate daughter of a noble aristocratic family. She originally thought she held the script for a family drama, but who would have thought she would...

Chapter 238 Further Research

Chu Yu did not answer, but said: "We have come here, the girl will know when she sees it later."

The long passage was brightly lit, and the two soon reached the first iron railing.

The guard waiting by the iron bars saluted and opened the iron gate.

As the distance got closer, the movements inside the cell became clearer and clearer.

A roar as if something was stuck in the throat was heard. The zombies inside seemed to be particularly violent, and the sound of them banging against the iron cage was quite loud.

The cell was a square earthen house, standing alone in the dark. The cell door was connected to the passage, and there were still guards guarding outside the door.

Apart from this, there is no other exit.

Chu Yu said calmly, "After calculation, the cage designed by Mr. Qu is exactly two miles away from the houses in Shilin Village. However, we need to station troops nearby. The zombie will not stop even for a moment when it smells the scent of living people."

Wei Xiyin: "They haven't eaten for several days, so the mutant zombies should have weakened."

Chu Yu smiled lightly, "That's how it should be, but it will take some time to observe."

While they were talking, the two men had already arrived at the cell door.

Wei Xiyin walked up and gently pushed the door open as if nothing had happened.

The view inside was a little dim, with oil lamps installed in the four corners. The room was airtight and emitted a faint smell of blood.

As the door was pushed open, a disheveled mutant zombie came into view. It was standing at the edge of the cage, its bloodshot eyes rolling up, and it was desperately grabbing at the bars and howling.

The blood around its mouth had dried and turned into pulp, and the belt of its outer garment was broken and hung loosely on its body, revealing its white inner garment. The large area on its chest was covered in blood and stains, and in the dim light of the oil lamp, its appearance looked even more terrifying.

Smelling a living person so close to it, it twitched its nose as if it was very hungry, and kept roaring. Its black claws stretched out of the cage, trying to reach the person outside.

Wei Xiyin looked at it for a moment and said with a sigh, "Look at the plump flesh on its body. The difference between it and those skeletons outside is really huge."

The layout of the cell is similar to that of the research institute.

There are three iron railings in total. The iron railing as thick as a wrist is at the innermost, and then there are two railings of different thicknesses. To facilitate observation, the gap between each railing is very wide.

On the right side of the door, in the corner facing the cage, there is a desk and a cushion with paper, ink, brush and inkstone on it for people to observe and record.

Chu Yu walked over, picked up yesterday's records and handed them to her. "Due to the high temperatures in summer, the zombies imprisoned in the institute are much less active at night, but this one still retains its winter momentum."

Day and night, two forms.

The zombies imprisoned in the institute, without the help of ice to cool them down, returned to their original state of movement at night. As the temperature got higher and higher, the feedback suppression on the zombies became more and more obvious, and their running speed at night was almost slower than that of ordinary people.

Wei Xiyin took the record sheet and looked at it.

The recorded data are the same as before, but the strength, speed and agility are far higher than those of other zombies.

She was mentally prepared, knowing that this zombie was unusual, so she was not surprised at all by these data.

Judging from the current situation, their research on zombies is still mostly superficial.

Observe external features to understand habits through body shape, movement patterns, etc., as well as behavioral observations to measure strategies such as perception, hunting and predation.

Wei Xiyin glanced through the records, thought for a moment, and asked, "Sir, have you ever thought about doing further research on these zombies?"

Chu Yu frowned slightly, "What do you mean by that, girl?"

Wei Xiyin moved to the side of the desk, put down the notebook, and sat down across from the mutant zombie. Pointing at the monster still howling in the cage, she said, "We should now analyze the mutation factors and study its nervous system to understand the unknown characteristics."

"Zombies don't have human rights. All kinds of experiments can be performed on them."

Wei Xiyin spoke lightly, as if discussing what to eat tomorrow morning. "For example, we could cut off their limbs to test their mobility and survival rate, or we could slice them to test for viral activity. We could also inject them with various drugs to test their brain reactions."

If there is no equipment, you can temporarily observe with your eyes.

Think of this.

Wei Xiyin couldn't help but wonder whether she should try to research and make something like a microscope.

Chu Yu took a deep breath when he heard this. How could the girl say such cruel and unethical words without changing her expression?

If other people heard this, they would think that the girl was born cruel and bloodthirsty and loved killing.

Wei Xiyin then added, "We just rescued the Kang siblings, so we have to find something for them to do. The research institute also needs people who know medicine. It wouldn't be bad to mix some poison or something and feed it to the zombies one by one."

She thought it was a good idea.

What if we find other ways to kill zombies?

The fortress does not keep idle people. Since Chu Yu has guessed the identities of the Kang brothers and sisters, we must make the best use of their talents and not waste such a good seedling.

Chu Yu couldn't hold it in any longer. "Yu wants to remind the girl that Kang Honglang's sister is only ten years old."

She said she was ten years old, but due to long-term malnutrition, she looked more like a seven or eight-year-old child. How could such a girl do that to her?

Wei Xiyin was puzzled. "Isn't ten just right? Talents need to be cultivated from a young age. Look at our Gu Qiu, he's only five years old and he dares to go play with zombies every day."

Chu Yu: “…”

It took him a long time to calm down.

If you think about it carefully, what the girl said makes sense. Instead of passively observing the changes in the zombies' characteristics, it is better to take the initiative to analyze them.

I just don't know if the record officers in the institute can tolerate such brutal research methods.

Once these things get out, the girl's reputation will be ruined.

Wei Xiyin knew he was worried and said nonchalantly, "It's okay. Didn't we all sign a confidentiality agreement? The recorders need an adjustment period. Let's start with the simplest ones, like cutting off the zombies' hands and feet..."

Chu Yu: “…”Are you sure this is the easiest?

Chu Yu immediately refused, saying expressionlessly, "As for cutting off hands and feet, it's better for the girl to ask the guards to do it. I'm afraid the recorders will be traumatized for the rest of their lives."

There are still several young ladies here. If they all become as "perverted" as this girl in the future, what will the research institute become?

Pervert training camp?

Wei Xiyin said it didn’t matter, as long as someone did it.

But we need to catch a few more zombies. I'm afraid those in the research institute can't withstand the attack.

The mutated zombies in the house were making a lot of noise.

There were two living people sitting right under its nose, and it banged the iron bars frantically, trying to break out of the cage and tear the people in front of it to pieces.

The two were not affected at all. They observed the mutated zombies while chatting about business.

Wei Xiyin said, "These zombies also need someone to observe and record them during the day. Sir, why not have the record officers from the research institute take turns coming here?"

It is impossible to let Chu Yu run between the two places all the time. We still need to train more people under us.

Chu Yu replied calmly, "It will take an adaptation period. Once I have mastered the initial characteristics of this zombie, I will naturally arrange for someone to take over."
