Chapter 139 Action Plan

For the past three years, Lin Xi has worked diligently day and night. Although he is not the most outstanding student under Song Heng, his extraordinary endurance and patience have won Song Heng's favor, and he has already entered the research institute to conduct research on the isolation of emerging viruses.

Professional medical master's students must participate in clinical internships during their postgraduate studies. Lin Xi could have applied for an internship at the research institute or the CDC directly, but due to a specific purpose, Lin Xi applied for an internship at Hongwen Hospital.

She was a little nervous when she submitted the application.

Having finally gained Song Heng's trust, if she applies for a clinical internship at the hospital, will Professor Song think that she's planning to graduate early and find a job at the hospital instead of pursuing research? If Professor Song thinks that way and stops wholeheartedly guiding her research topics at the research institute, how will she study viruses in the future?

Unexpectedly, Song Heng readily granted Lin Xi's application a green light and expressed his approval: "Starting with real cases is also an important way to obtain experimental data. It's good that you're willing to start from the grassroots level."

Sometimes, when you work hard, luck will follow.

May 18, 2025.

Lu Wei had already been transferred back to Nanhua, and he would be leading a group to guard Hongwen Hospital the day after tomorrow.

Xiang Xin had just returned to Xinchuan and prepared a house and supplies for her parents near the address of the Future Dawn Base.

Liang Hui continued working normally in the building opposite Hongwen Hospital, ready to respond immediately if any unusual activity was detected.

A murder mystery game studio in Zone B.

In the enclosed space, the four people sat on a circle of sofas, their expressions solemn, some with their hands clasped under their chins, others with their hands on their foreheads.

The sounds of conversation and analysis inside never stopped. A passing DM was pleased: "The guests in this room are deeply immersed in case analysis."

Boss: "I'm really immersed in it, so immersed that I've shut you out."

Dm, on the verge of death, suddenly sat up in a fright.

Boss: "The books they chose look interesting. We'll promote them next month."

The receptionist carefully reviewed the reservation records: "They only prepaid the money, but didn't choose a notebook. They probably brought their own."

"..."

Inside the room.

Lu Wei posted nine photos on the whiteboard: "These nine people are the initial infected individuals."

These nine people were the zombies and infected that Lin Xi swiftly killed at Hongwen Hospital in his previous life. The action was so fast that Lin Xi could no longer remember their faces.

At the time, the "Hongwen Hospital vicious murder case" became a trending topic and gained national attention. The families of the nine victims joined together to sue Lin Xi in court. Later, Lin Xi's case was changed from a criminal case to a public prosecution case.

From the beginning, Lu Wei took over Lin Xi's defense lawyer work. Due to the special nature of the case, the specific information of the plaintiff and the victim was not disclosed, but Lu Wei and Lin Xi could see their names.

In this life, Lin Xi and Lu Wei had already obtained photos and information about these nine people through two different channels.

Lu Wei circled four people: "These four people already had zombie characteristics in the videotapes from their previous lives. The other five are infected people who were attacked by them. They had not mutated by the time they died in their previous lives."

Lin Xi: "In other words, they might be able to be saved in this lifetime."

Lin Xi couldn't recall these things; at the time, she was only focused on dealing with the source, and Xiang Xin became her third eye, investigating the situation for her.

However, Xiang Xin listened to their analysis with a serious expression and intense gaze, her eyes filled with both passion and seriousness.

She doesn't remember, but that doesn't matter. Back then, she posted the video of the camera Lin Xi installed online. The internet remembers, and Lin Xi and Lu Wei both watched the entire video of the incident.

Lin Xi pointed to three of them: "The most important ones are this one, Jiang XX, and Dr. Xu Ruigan. According to the video, they were the first to turn into zombies. The other zombies and infected were all caused by their attacks. Our main task this time is to capture them alive first."

Lu Wei: "Remember, it's to capture them alive."

Lin Xi: "Make sure you are safe and don't get caught or bitten by zombies."

Xiang Xin: "It's too difficult to capture them alive. Why not just kill them? Why emphasize capturing them alive? You can take the body away for testing, it's the same thing."

Lin Xi cleared his throat: "Right now, no one has ever seen a zombie. To outsiders, attacking a zombie looks like attacking a human. The last person who killed them was handcuffed as a 'murderer'."

Xiang Xin indicated that she understood, and before she could say anything, Lin Xi added, "My current permissions are not high enough. I don't have the authority to directly use the lab on my own. I can only do it with my supervisor. If one of us gets handcuffed, although we won't actually be executed, it will cause some trouble."

For example, in the previous life, after Lin Xi was handcuffed and taken away, Lu Wei thought the source of the zombies had been solved, and all his focus shifted to how to help Lin Xi defend herself and how to get the research institute to agree to test the virus.

So when the zombie outbreak suddenly occurred again, Lin Xi and Xiang Xin were handcuffed in the detention center, Liang Hui went to work as if nothing had happened, and Lu Wei returned to being an ordinary lawyer, without a gun, connections, or team.

Lin Xi: "We've prepared special clothing in advance, which we can wear to protect against several zombie bites and scratches. If absolutely necessary, we should just kill them; life is more precious."

Liang Hui: "Explain in detail how to capture him alive? Which vital parts should be avoided?"

Lin Xi pointed to the back of Lu Wei's head.

Lu Wei glanced at her without making a sound.

Lin Xi: "The most dangerous spot is the brain, and shooting the back of the head is usually the safest method."

Just as Xiang Xin was about to speak, Lin Xi patted her shoulder: "Xiao Si, help Xiao Er and me monitor the overall situation and report the location."

Xiang Xin was a little disappointed: "Can't I play?"

Lin Xi: "If there's a large-scale outbreak later, you won't even have a chance to get out of there. I really need someone to help me keep an eye on the situation in the hospital. Your role is very important."

Lu Wei is currently under the military's control, and his equipment and resources cannot be shared with Lin Xi for the time being. Lin Xi and Liang Hui can only rely on Xiang Xin for their intelligence.

Xiang Xin stared intently at Lin Xi: "You arranged all this so smoothly. San San, were you the one who killed nine zombies in your past life and was handcuffed as a murderer?"

Lin Xi touched her nose awkwardly.

Xiang Xin put his arm around her shoulder: "You're so cool!!"

Lin Xi: "Be serious, we're talking about the end of the world."

Lin Xi took out the photocopied documents and photos and continued to introduce: "Among the nine people, Xu xx and Wei xx are medical staff from Hongwen Hospital. I have been observing them for several days and there are no abnormalities so far."

Lin Xi picked out three more sets of documents: "The three of them have already appeared at the hospital, and they are currently all ordinary patients. One has pneumonia, one has a brain tumor, and the other has a common cold. I secretly checked their medical records using the hospital system and also observed them. So far, there are no abnormalities."

After entering Hongwen Hospital, I seemed to have obtained some additional information, but it didn't seem to be of much use.

Lin Xi: "In short, excluding these six people with obvious wounds who were infected by zombie attacks, we need to control Xu xx and Jiang xx, the two earliest sources of infection who turned into zombies. In case we can't control them..."

Lu Wei: "I have deployed people to provide support at Hongwen Hospital. We are fully prepared, and Hongwen Hospital will not fall directly."

In this life, they have information, connections, and weapons, and they will not allow Hongwen Hospital to fall directly and affect Area B.

Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief.

She single-handedly prevented the tragedy at Hongwen Hospital, and now, with so many solid teammates and backup, she has even more confidence.

After returning home with Xiang Xin, Lin Xi took stock of the family's supplies. Just like in her previous life, she had modified a truck in advance to store supplies and parked it in a nearby garage.

While helping out, Xiang Xin asked curiously, "Aren't we going to join the battle? Do we really need so many spare supplies?"

Lin Xi explained, "There are many unexpected situations, and we may need to quarantine at home or come back to retrieve supplies later. It's good to have several backup plans."

Xiang Xin nodded: "You've died a lot, you have experience, I'll listen to you."

Lin Xi: "..."

Sometimes I really want to pinch her a couple of times.
