Chapter 333 Teachers and Students

Shen Xiuyin looked at him angrily without saying a word. Zhuang Mingxu didn't mind either. He turned to look at Li Wenliang and said, "Be careful, he is a scientific research lunatic."

Li Wenliang looked at the two people on the ground and nodded.

"Where is Zhuang Mobai? I'll go find him," Zhuang Mingxu asked.

"In the laboratory on the fifth floor, Dr. Zhuang moved the lounge there as well, bringing his assistant Xuna with him," said Li Wenliang.

"Xiuna?" Zhuang Mingxu thought about it and then remembered the female researcher who hated people with special abilities.

He didn't care how someone who hated superpowers and wanted to die could be used by Zhuang Mobai, but at the moment he had something to ask Zhuang Mobai.

"Teacher? Teacher Zhuang is here too?" Shen Xiuyin, who had been silent, suddenly spoke up.

Zhuang Mingxu raised his eyebrows, "Yeah, do you want to meet him?"

Shen Xiuyin immediately stood up with difficulty and grabbed Shen Xiuyue, who was obviously mentally disturbed.

Zhuang Mingxu walked in front holding Taotao, and the two of them limped behind him.

Zhuang Mobai is also a scientific research maniac. Ever since Lu Weiyi gave him the snow water that could purify the zombies' energy, he has devoted all his energy to it, and even started a life of working day and night.

When Zhuang Mingxu walked over, he was observing something through an instrument that looked like a microscope.

"Teacher? Is it really you, teacher?" Shen Xiuyin saw the person shouting excitedly and strode over.

Zhuang Mobai turned around and looked for a long time but couldn't recognize who it was. He looked at Zhuang Mingxu inquiringly, but Zhuang Mingxu had no intention of introducing him.

"I'm Shen Xiuyin, teacher..." Shen Xiuyin, who had been acting a little crazy and moody, hugged Zhuang Mobai's thighs and cried bitterly, like a wronged child who met his family.

"Xiu Yin, why are you here? You guys?" Zhuang Mobai asked, looking at Zhuang Mingxu.

"Let's talk about your past later." Zhuang Mingxu was in no mood to answer questions for the two of them. "How is your research going?"

Zhuang Mobai did not answer.

Zhuang Mingxu did not urge her, his eyes turned to the woman behind him, and Zhuang Mobai said to Xiona as if he had received a prompt, "Xiona, this is my student Shen Xiuyin, take him to clean up first."

“Xiu Yin, the teacher will look for you later” Zhuang Mobai patted Shen Xiu Yin’s shoulder gently, really like a gentle elder.

“Okay,” Xiuna closed the folder in her hand, stepped forward to help Shen Xiuyin up, and left the laboratory together.

"What's wrong? What do you want to tell me?" Zhuang Mobai waited until the footsteps went far away before asking.

"Do you know how to repair cracks in the crystal core?" Zhuang Mingxu asked bluntly.

Zhuang Mobai stared at him for a moment, his eyes flashed, he smiled, and said calmly, "The one who asked you to come over to ask... is Lu Weiyi, right? There is a crack in his crystal core."

Zhuang Mingxu did not refute. This was an independent space. Unless the owner of the space let them out, they would be trapped here for the rest of their lives. There was nothing to hide.

Fortunately, Zhuang Mobai laughed for a while and didn't continue, "I heard that there was a problem when Zhao Qiang's crystal core was upgraded, and there was no news after that, but I did study it."

Zhuang Mingxu's eyes lit up, and before he could continue, he heard Zhuang Mobai ask, "How did Xiuyin offend you? How could he offend you when he is so far away from Kyoto?"

"My good grandfather has sold me out again." Zhuang Mingxu gritted his teeth. This time, he would definitely not show any mercy.

Zhuang Mobai was stunned for a moment, and considering the current situation, he roughly understood what had happened. He moved his lips and didn't ask any more questions.

He turned around and motioned Zhuang Mingxu to follow him to the next room.

"I have studied crystal cores quite thoroughly, so I have some insights into what you said," said Zhuang Mobai, as he connected a power source to an instrument, took out two crystal cores from the drawer and placed them on the operating table, and handed Zhuang Mingxu a pair of ordinary glasses.

"Observe carefully and see what the difference is between the two crystal cores?" Zhuang Mobai said. Seeing Zhuang Mingxu looking at him expressionlessly, he obviously didn't want to listen to his nagging. He raised his hand in surrender and said, "Okay, one of these two is a mutant's crystal core, and the other is a zombie's crystal core. If you look closely, you will find that the zombie's crystal core is obviously more active than the mutant's crystal core."

"Remember what I told you before, the reason why the crystal core exploded when the psychic upgraded it?" Zhuang Mobai asked.

"Remember," that was what Zhuang Mobai revealed to him when he was captured and taken to the laboratory. He felt that everything was under control, "Too much zombie energy has accumulated in the body of the mutant."

"Yes, zombie energy itself is more violent than evolutionary energy. The cracks in the crystal core are either caused by the zombie energy being too active, or the energy being too powerful, which impacted and shattered the crystal core." Zhuang Mobai thought of the values ​​of zombie energy content in the crystal cores of all the people in the only team, and felt that Lu Weiyi, as the team leader, must have the same value. "Based on the zombie energy data in the crystal cores of your team members, Lu Weiyi should be the latter."

"There's a 90% chance that he hasn't reached the stage for an upgrade yet, but is forced to absorb energy for an upgrade."

Seeing that Zhuang Mingxu didn't say anything, he knew that he guessed right.

"Is there a solution?" Zhuang Mingxu asked.

"In theory, yes," Zhuang Mobai said, "The crystal core wall itself is also built of energy, a kind of energy storage...container. It contains evolutionary energy that is suitable for the evolution of the human body, as well as zombie energy that is more suitable for the evolution of zombies."

"Evolutionary energy itself is a kind of energy that can coexist with humans. It can strengthen many aspects of the body of a mutant and will not cause body rejection. It is the main energy accumulation for mutants to upgrade. Zombie energy is just the opposite. It can change human body performance and make people more and more like zombies."

"In theory, if all the zombie energy in the human crystal core can be discharged, then the crystal core itself will become a single energy ball. The so-called crystal core will no longer exist, and naturally there will be no cracks."

When Zhuang Mingxu heard what he said, he immediately felt that it was similar to the process of the crystal core integrating into the body that Lu Weiyi had mentioned before.

"Will zombie energy be metabolized by the human body?" Zhuang Mingxu asked.

"Yes," Zhuang Mobai affirmed, "If a mutant bitten by a zombie does not rely on his own superpowers to force the zombie energy out of his body, it will slowly be metabolized. It's just a matter of time."

"Then the zombie energy in the crystal core will also be slowly metabolized," said Zhuang Mingxu.

"In theory, yes." Zhuang Mobai saw Zhuang Mingxu frowning and waved his hand. "I haven't done these experiments. I'm relying on theoretical guesses. Otherwise, you can ask...your teammates to come over for me to study."

Zhuang Mingxu's brows were cold.

"But this is not very realistic to implement. Even if Lu Weiyi doesn't absorb the crystal core in the future, the zombie energy accumulated to the SS level will not be so easy to metabolize." Zhuang Mobai thought for a while, looked at the instruments outside, and suggested, "Maybe you can let him drink some of that water. The energy in it can purify the zombie energy."

"But it directly acts on the crystal core. Will it be useful if I drink it?" Although Xu Sa's superpowers were awakened after drinking this, Lu Weiyi had also experimented on others, and the awakening failed in the end. It can only be said that it is possible, but not absolute.

How could he possibly put something he was unsure about on Lu Weiyi?

Zhuang Mobai spread his hands, indicating that he had no other choice.

At least he got some information, so Zhuang Mingxu did not stay any longer and left the space with Taotao.

As soon as he left the space, Zhuang Mingxu went to find Li Zhuang Ningyuan and Antonio.

"What's wrong?" Ning Yuan had been busy all night and just got up after sleeping for a few hours. He yawned and took a piece of bread.

Zhuang Mingxu pointed upwards, motioning them to go to the second floor to talk.

Li Zhuang was the first to get out of the carriage, grabbed the railing and jumped up, as agile as a cheetah.

"You're such a show-off, and there's no beauty to admire you." Ning Yuan was dazzled by the sunlight and just happened to see his agile figure, so he complained.

"There's a handsome guy here," Li Zhuang said. When he saw Xu Yi, a healing psychic on duty on the second floor, he said with a smile, "Right, Healer Xu."

Xu Yi smiled, greeted the two people who came up, and hurried downstairs to enter the carriage.

"What did you do to him? Why do I feel like he's like a mouse seeing a cat when he sees you?" Ning Yuan found it very strange. If he was scared, Antonio should have left him with a deeper trauma when he tortured Xu Yi to upgrade. But Xu Yi didn't have the same attitude as he has now when facing Li Zhuang.

Li Zhuang smiled playfully and did not answer.

"Where's Antonio?" Zhuang Mingxu looked around and asked when he saw no one.

"He's in the co-pilot seat. He said he was going to give directions." Liu Yang and a few others were on duty on the second floor. Zhou Nan replied when he heard his question.

"Haha, he's a foreigner showing you the way, aren't you afraid that he will lead you into a ditch... burp... cough cough..." Ning Yuan laughed loudly, but the bread got stuck in his throat and he started coughing violently.

Li Zhuang slapped him on the back. Zhuang Mingxu took a few steps forward to the front of the car. Before he could speak, he saw Qi Lin and Antonio standing on the road in the distance. Qi Lin was guarding against the zombies around him, and Antonio was half-squatting on the ground observing something.

"What is he doing?" Ning Yuan asked.

Li Zhuang narrowed his eyes and said nothing. He glanced at Zhuang Mingxu casually and saw that Zhuang Mingxu seemed to understand something. He didn't say anything, but turned and said, "Let's talk about it first, and you can communicate with him later."

"It's about the crystal core integrating into the body. I got another piece of information from Zhuang Mobai, which probably explains the process of the crystal core integrating into the body from a more scientific perspective." Zhuang Mingxu told the two of them the news he had just learned.

"No wonder," Li Zhuang whispered. Seeing the two people looking at him, he explained, "I have experimented according to Lu Weiyi's method, and I feel that it is not easy to mobilize all the energy to form an energy ball. There is always some scattered energy that seems to hinder the formation of the energy ball. After many times, I feel that the energy is a little restless."

"That should be the energy of zombies," said Zhuang Mingxu.

"Do you think there is a possibility that the process of gathering energy clusters is the process of accelerating the energy metabolism of zombies?
