Chapter 192 The Return of the Field Combat Team

When Lu Wei and Xiang Xin visited the research institute again, the decoration and staff had not changed, but the overall spirit of the research institute had been completely renewed.

No one was in a hurry to leave work, no one was gossiping or egging each other on; everyone was focused on their work in an orderly manner.

"They've changed so much in just a few days since I left." Xiang Xin looked around the various laboratories and sincerely praised, "San San has managed this place very well."

Lu Wei calmly inspected the various laboratories.

The passing staff greeted him. Many of them had seen the major general's photo on the base's bulletin board, but this time even more people saw the major general's face clearly in the live video played by Lin Xi.

Lin Xi was not in Laboratory 6. For her, Laboratory 6 was just a nominal unit; she still worked in the state-of-the-art Laboratory 5 every day.

Various test tubes and glasswares were neatly arranged on the workbench, and Lin Xi was observing and recording them one by one, occasionally adding reagents with a dropper.

Two familiar figures were visible through the test tube held high. Lu Wei stood calmly outside the glass, looking at her, while Xiang Xin leaned against the glass, glancing at her with a playful smile as she looked up.

Lin Xi's lips, which were covered by the mask, relaxed slightly, but after glancing at the time, she could only make a hand gesture to the two people in the distance.

Lu Wei nodded slightly and turned into the next corridor to patrol, with someone escorting the fighting zombie behind him.

Lin Xi continued to dedicate herself to her work.

-

After removing her protective suit and completing the disinfection procedures, Lin Xi left the laboratory wearing the white uniform of the research institute, looking no different from the pedestrians passing by in the corridor.

Some people ignored her, some nodded to her, but still very few people addressed her as "Dean Zhang".

Even if everyone has witnessed her kung fu and been awestruck, or participated in her team-building activities and received a spiritual baptism, this is a research institute, and only research achievements have absolute persuasive power.

Before research results are achieved, no amount of knowledge or ability can be put into practice.

Xiang Xin and Lu Wei are still waiting for her.

When they met up, Lin Xi was thinking about the footage from the live surveillance. Before that, although she knew it was dangerous outside, she always felt that her friends were special and would definitely come back safely.

Even as an observer watching the perilous struggle unfold, Lin Xi couldn't help but feel anxious, knowing that every moment could lead to tragedy.

Fortunately, all the survivors who returned to the city so far have included them.

Unaware of this inexplicable emotion, Lu Wei casually explained, "We've brought back all the parts you requested. The engineers are inspecting and installing them. We also..."

Lin Xi continued, "We brought back a special zombie that retained its fighting skills."

The risks of capturing hardened zombies alive were too great. The entire fight was almost entirely carried out by Lu Wei alone, and the footage shown in the real-time monitoring was extremely dangerous.

They stayed at the factory for about five days. Some parts were missing, so the engineer and a few workers, under the protection of the army, used existing energy to start the machine and temporarily made some. The process was complicated and dangerous.

The longer the tug-of-war continues outside, the greater the casualties will be.

According to Liang Hui, the elite team later lacked manpower, so Xiang Xin filled in, and Lu Wei himself was also injured.

Although his skin wasn't cut and he wasn't infected with the virus, he was hit by several "iron fists" from the hardened zombie, resulting in some minor bone fractures.

Lu Wei paused, then looked at Xiang Xin with sparkling eyes, saying, "Xiong Er said you watched our combat video, but did you see me! Passionately stab the zombies' eyeballs."

"..."

They arrived together in a special room where the zombie was firmly restrained, and professionals were using lasers to cut through its hardened skin to extract internal tissue for research.

"Do these hardened zombies need other antibodies? San San, do you have all the combined antibody samples?"

Lin Xi shook his head: "Although zombies have many forms, the mutations are all due to the most basic zombie virus infecting the brain."

The antibodies in Lin Xi and Lin Jie have a higher immune function than most special zombies, and they can complement each other. In addition, the multi-specific antibodies extracted from other special zombies should be able to form a complete antibody, according to calculations. However, the actual situation still needs to be analyzed in detail.

Each additional special zombie captured yields one more incomplete antibody. While most of these antibodies are covered by Lin Xi and Lin Jie's own antibodies, there are a few special antibodies that Lin Xi and Lin Jie do not possess.

Now that we have the antibodies, we're just waiting for the machine to be repaired.
