Xu Bai was reborn. She returned to ten years ago, to the fifth day after the apocalypse began. In this life, she didn't awaken any abilities; instead, she was bound to a system.
With ten ...
Someone in the observation room turned into a zombie and started biting the person next to him. No one expected this at all.
This is a relatively large observation room, and everyone's seat is quite far away from each other.
When someone started shouting that they were not feeling well, before Xu Bai could say anything, a scientific researcher next to him came over to help take a look.
This is the student who usually helps Dr. Bo Minwen. He is still young and has been in the research building since the apocalypse. Everyone protects him very well, and he has no idea what precautions he should take since the apocalypse.
Xu Bai shouted at the research teacher not to leave, but he had just taken a few steps away when he was scratched on the hand by the person who had just mutated into a zombie.
Xu Bai rushed forward and kicked the zombie away, then grabbed the zombie and leaned it against the wall. With one hand, he grabbed the rope hanging on the wall and tied up the zombie.
The scientific researcher who was scratched had a layer of skin scraped off by Ji Heng early in the morning, and Shi Qinghe was asked to rinse it with a lot of water.
The scientific research teacher had already fainted from the pain and could not escape the fate of being tied up.
Fortunately, there are ropes, self-defense tools, etc. hanging in every empty space on the wall of the observation room.
When Bo Minwen saw his assistant student being caught and bitten, he was so angry that he was speechless. He wanted to get closer, but thinking of the responsibility he had on his shoulders, he had to stand far away and watch worriedly.
They all knew that once they were caught and bitten, there was a high possibility that they would become zombies.
"Next time you check, make sure to check carefully. He has a small wound on his shoulder."
Xu Bai stepped on the zombie's head with one foot, bent down and pulled the clothes open at the zombie's shoulder a little, and a lot of black blood appeared on the small wound on it.
"I didn't see it when I checked him. Is it because it was washed away by water before?" Qin Qing's face turned pale. It was her team member who suddenly turned into a zombie. She had checked carefully before getting on the car, but didn't see it.
"The wound is very small, about the size of a thumb."
As soon as he finished speaking, it caused an uproar.
A wound the size of a thumb can turn a person into a zombie?!
The people present who travel outside every month naturally know that if they are scratched by zombies, it is not the size of the wound that matters, but the toxicity of the zombies.
But this group of scientific researchers have never faced such a real situation. Even though they have been studying day and night and know the severity of the toxicity of each zombie and the different speeds of infection, when they really face this moment, they realize that death is very close to them.
Some younger scientific researchers finally understood how strict their former mentors were with them and how careful and cautious they were.
If they were not careful occasionally, they would most likely have been scratched by the zombies imprisoned in the laboratory.
"Dr. Bo Minwen, I'll leave this zombie for you to study."
Because of the mutated zombies in the observation room, their observation schedule was extended from two hours to four hours.
The sounds of the tied-up zombies screaming and struggling kept echoing in everyone's minds.
When they came out of the observation room, it was already late at night, and someone in the next observation room had also turned into a zombie.
As soon as they sensed the presence of humans, the zombies rushed towards the door, making a banging noise. The noise was extremely loud in the middle of the night, and many people who had just come out of the observation room were frightened when they looked up.
"City Lord, you guys go and rest first. When you return, we will take care of them."
The city security noticed an hour ago that someone here had mutated into a zombie, but seeing that Xu Bai did not kill the zombie but tied it up with a rope, he did not dare to make a decision on his own and waited for Xu Bai to come out before making a decision.
"No need. Let's take all the teachers to the office first and ask Xu Qingjia to help apply for the resident certificates after get off work."
"I'm here."
"Okay." The city guard took them away. After they left, only Xu Bai, Ji Heng, Shi Qinghe, Qin Tian, and Mingliang were left here. When he came out of the observation room, he saw his fiancée standing outside with a big belly waiting for him. He felt distressed and quickly took her home, accompanied by his mother-in-law.
Occasionally, they could hear Mingliang loudly accusing them of not paying attention to the time, not caring about their own safety, and waiting outside late at night.
Xu Bai raised the corners of his mouth slightly and looked at them in the faint moonlight.
"Leave these two zombies alive as well. Use them for experiments."
"good."
Most of the newly mutated zombies were relatively weak, and since they worked together to capture them alive, they tied up the two zombies in two or three moves, stuffed them back into the observation room, locked the door, and took away the key.
After doing all this, they smiled at each other and finally relaxed.
"Sweet dreams, everyone!"
Xu Xiaoxiao was more dependent on Captain Lin, but he also followed Captain Lin and the urban security guard to apply for a resident ID card, and then followed Captain Lin to his shared apartment. The rest of the people went back to their homes, took a comfortable hot bath, collapsed on the bed and fell asleep.
Xu Bai went to the office.
Even in the dead of night, after traveling for so many days, these researchers' eyes lit up when they saw the many devices in the office. It didn't matter if it was not their turn to apply for documents. They first discussed together how this crystal core exchange machine was made, how it was different from the exchange lottery machines on the market before, and whether it was adapted.
And why does this water taste sweeter than the water in their research building?
Is computer network access popular throughout the city?
When Xu Bai came over, he heard someone say, "We're missing a phone here. After we rest the day after tomorrow, we'll start setting up a signal station. There's no reason why we should have internet here but no signal elsewhere."
"That way, we can use our phones!"
"Oh my god, I left my phone in the research building. Damn it."
"If they go out later, could you bring back some cell phones so I can buy some from them?"
"Buy? Do we have the money?"
"Since they invited us to come here for research, they should be paying us. I just asked around, and they have convenience stores, clothing stores, factories, etc. If they don't pay us, it would be difficult for us to live on."
“…”
Hearing this, Xu Bai had to interrupt them.
“Yes, there is a salary.”
"All the scientific research teachers will naturally receive a salary, and food and accommodation will be provided. I hope everyone can develop a vaccine as soon as possible."
"I believe everyone has seen the environment of Dawn City. In the coming days, you will feel that Dawn City truly allows you to focus on your research without any worries."
Xu Bai spoke briefly without wasting their time.
When going to South City, Xu Bai instructed Jiao Nanmu early in the morning to arrange accommodation for the incoming scientific researchers. After Jiao Nanmu's arrangement, four or five suites were vacated in an ordinary high-rise building with a balcony.
A standard apartment has three bedrooms and two living rooms.
Jiao Nanmu didn't know how many people he would bring back, so he temporarily arranged these suites for them to stay in.
Even if someone wants to rent it out, it hasn't been rented out yet, just waiting for them to come back.
