Chapter 58 The Old Man in a White Coat

I saw a dog opening the door of the pharmaceutical company's building and walking out, followed by an old man in a white coat!

"I saw you on the surveillance camera during the day, and now you're visiting me late at night. I have to doubt your intentions!"

The old man in the white coat is a scholar. He holds the dog leash tightly in his hand, fearing that the dog will break free and run away!

"We ended up here and didn't expect there was such a large pharmaceutical company nearby. We just wanted to get some medicine. You know, in this day and age, medicine isn't even produced anymore. A cold can be fatal!"

Chuchu said with a giggle, "We have already used up all the medicines we have, so we thought we could come in and see if we could get some cold medicine or wound medicine?"

The old man in the white coat clearly didn't believe them. "Why not be open and honest if that's the case? Why do you have to be so sneaky? Besides, I've noticed that those zombies can't even see you."

“Hehehe…”

Chuchu smiled awkwardly. He had not expected the old man's observation ability to be so good. "Old man, the mountain people have their own clever tricks. If we didn't have any skills, we probably wouldn't be alive today. If you want to know, you can exchange it for medicine!"

After hearing Chu Chu's words, the old man in the white coat laughed heartily. "I haven't seen a girl as funny as you in a long time. My pharmaceutical company is very big, really very big. We have a lot of raw materials, but no finished medicines because they have all been consumed!"

Chuchu had an expression of disbelief on her face, and she subconsciously looked at Gu Tianye. Such a whole pharmaceutical company must produce a lot of medicines, and most people here have turned into zombies. Who would take so many medicines?

"That's right, it's just as you imagined. It's not eaten by humans, but by zombies!"

The old man in the white coat nodded, a look of sadness on his face. "On the day the zombie virus broke out, many people in the pharmaceutical company were already infected. We took advantage of our situation and fed them all kinds of antibiotics, but in the end, they still turned into zombies."

"Because they took too many antibiotics in the early stages, after they turned into zombies, they took drugs like crazy. They have already regarded drugs as food. Moreover, their evolution speed is very fast. We can only survive peacefully if we drive them out!"

"But as time goes by, more and more people in the factory are injured. After being injured, they immediately evolve into zombies. We have no way, really no solution!"

When the old man in the white coat said this, a look of confusion appeared on his face. The tears in the corners of his eyes were about to fall, but he was trying hard to control them.

Time unknowingly went back to a few years ago when the pharmaceutical company was still prosperous. One day, an employee on the assembly line made an operational error and accidentally cut his finger. Everyone immediately took him to get bandaged, and the contaminated medicines on the assembly line were also dealt with.

However, the employee was bleeding profusely and no amount of medicine worked. When they were about to send the employee to the hospital for emergency treatment, the employee suddenly turned into a zombie. Fortunately, everyone was wearing protective clothing at the time, and the zombies' blood fell on them but did not infect them!

After they dealt with that employee, they learned that a zombie virus had broken out in the world. However, everyone was still hoping for the best, thinking that they would not be so unlucky and would not be infected with the virus!

After the leadership learned about this, they simply took the bodies away and let them continue production. Everyone lived in fear all day long.

But it didn't last long. A few days later, another worker accidentally injured his hand. Without any warning, he turned into a zombie and began to swallow large amounts of medicines on the assembly line!

At first, the people above wanted to suppress this matter, but as time went on, such situations became more and more frequent and could no longer be suppressed. Many people did not go to work because of fear, but not going to work did not escape the disaster. Gradually, most of the people here turned into zombies.

Only a few senior executives escaped the disaster. They stayed in the laboratory and office all day and had no contact with the production workers on the assembly line, so they survived.

The old man in the white coat is one of them.

"How many people are there here?" Chuchu had her own plan in mind as she followed them. These people were all senior executives who must be very knowledgeable about pharmaceutical manufacturing. They were rare talents. If they could be recruited, it would be of great help in developing an antidote to the zombie virus.

The old man in the white coat sighed, "To prevent everyone from infecting each other, there's only one person in each building. I've been here for who knows how long, and I don't know what's happening to the others. Fortunately, there's plenty of food here, otherwise I'd probably become an old monster too!"

Chuchu has been wondering whether what the old man in the white coat said was true or false. Logically speaking, this is a large enterprise and there should be plenty of food and water, but it has been a while since the end of the world. Can the food and water really last that long?

"What kind of food do you usually eat?"

"Instant noodles! We often work overtime here, so we have a lot of instant noodles and mineral water in the warehouse!" The old man in the white coat sighed, "I didn't eat this kind of thing before, but now I'm going to change my name to instant noodles!"

"Can I go in and take a look?" Gu Tianye suddenly suggested, "I used to be a medical researcher, so seeing something similar is very interesting to me!"

The old man in the white coat naturally would not refuse. On the contrary, he enthusiastically brought them in. All this seemed very abnormal!

The two men looked at each other and saw the meaning of being careful in each other's eyes. It was not clear whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, and they could not trust him completely!

After the two of them took a tour, they didn't find anything useful. Chuchu quickly memorized everything she saw. If she could take the raw materials here out openly, then everything would be easy!

Since it was the first time for both parties to meet, everyone kept some room for conversation, and no useful words were said until they parted!

Looking at Chuchu and Gu Tianye's leaving backs, the old man in the white coat showed a mysterious smile on his face.

"Teacher, is it really okay for them to break in?" A young man appeared behind the old man in the gown. He looked at the two people who left with the same worry!

The old man in the white coat sighed, "If they can really change our situation, I'm willing to give everything!"
