Chapter 23



"Uncle, why aren't you talking?" Sangsang blinked her big, watery eyes, her face full of anticipation. "My brother won't turn into a zombie, right?"

...He's not sure either.

The system came back to its senses, looked at the little fellow's expectant expression, sighed softly, and said soothingly: "Don't worry, kid, your brother is the second male lead, he won't change."

Sangsang hummed happily and nodded with sparkling eyes.

Sang Chi was melancholy for a while, then he couldn't stop talking. He began to fantasize wildly:

"What do you think? If I become a zombie, will I still be able to think for myself?"

"If I were so awesome, I would definitely control the zombies so that they wouldn't bite humans. Then, under my wise command, the zombies would start a beautiful pastoral life of farming and raising pigs. Everyone would live in a secluded corner, be self-reliant, and coexist peacefully with humans without interfering with each other. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

Huo Shen couldn't help but applaud and praise him: "You have such a beautiful idea."

Sang Chi said seriously: "Because my dream is world peace."

Lu Ziyun smiled, looked at Huo Shen and said, "I don't think anything serious has happened to him. After all, his ideological awareness is still so high."

Huo Shen nodded in agreement.

After a while, Lu Ziting came back with a lunch box.

Today, the chef in the kitchen prepared fragrant stewed meat with dried beans and tender steamed eggs. Lu Ziting was afraid that Sang Chi would not have enough to eat, so he shared his portion and made two meals for him.

"You are so nice to me," Sang Chi looked at the sumptuous food in front of him, he said with both emotion and sadness: "Is this my last supper?"

Lu Ziting patted his shoulder and comforted him, "Don't be so pessimistic. Maybe you still have a chance to have a midnight snack."

Sang Chi widened his eyes and looked even sadder. Even the roasted pork with dried beans in his mouth didn't smell as good anymore.

Several people gathered around Sang Chi and watched him eat with great interest, as if they were watching a food show.

And express some opinions from time to time, as if posting barrages.

Huo Shen pursed his lips and said, "See how relishing he eats, it means his digestive system is fine now."

"Mutation takes time, which is equivalent to the incubation period. If he doesn't have any problems in these ten hours, does it mean that he is not infected?" Lu Ziyun pondered.

Huo Shen nodded, "Yes, so he needs continued observation. I will take Sang Chi to the laboratory to draw blood for test and make a comparison sample."

Sang Chi put down his chopsticks silently, worriedly: "Why do I feel like I have become a guinea pig now?"

Lu Ziting continued to comfort him: "Your feeling is correct, and what you think is right."

Sang Chi: “…”

"I'm serious," Sang Chi said in a low voice, taking a bite of his food. "I could be talking to you one second and turning into a zombie biting people the next."

"Now I feel like a time bomb that may explode at any time. So do you want to take some measures, such as handcuffing my hands, tying my legs and feet, or locking me up in an empty room?"

Huo Shen shook his head, took out his pistol, and made a beautiful gun flower, "Don't worry, we have hot weapons and Pei Yu. Even if you mutate, you can't hurt anyone."

Sang Chi swallowed his food and nodded in agreement, "That's true."

"However," Huo Shen thought for a while, looked at Sang Chi and continued, "Depending on the situation during the observation period, I might tie you up."

Sang Chi nodded in understanding.

After dinner, the group went to the school laboratory, and Sang Chi and Huo Shen both changed into protective clothing.

Then he took a syringe and drew a tube of blood from him, and then pushed Sang Chi into the isolation room.

"You stay inside first, I'll go do a blood test," Huo Shen said.

Sang Chi hummed, and found a corner in the isolation room to stay there obediently.

Lu Ziting and the others stood in front of the transparent glass, looking at Sang Chi inside. It felt like they were in two different worlds, and they felt a little uncomfortable.

He sighed, "We were at the pharmacy at that time. If we hadn't acted separately and I had been with him, he might not have been caught."

Lu Ziyun patted his brother's shoulder and looked at Huo Shen who was taking a blood test, "Don't think too much, Huo Shen may have a way to solve it, Sang Chi will not mutate."

Sangsang lay on the glass window, looking at Sang Chi curled up in a ball inside. She tilted her little head and asked Pei Yu, "Brother, when will my brother come out?"

Pei Yu pursed his lips, bent down, held her in his arms, and whispered, "I don't know either."

"Well," Sangsang's eyelashes trembled, and she continued to ask in a baby voice, "Can I go in and accompany him?"

After she finished speaking, she pressed her little handprints on the glass window, with a distressed expression on her face, "Look, brother looks like a big dog drenched by the rain now. He must really want Sangsang to hug him now."

Several people looked at each other, and Lu Ziting was the first to lose control and said:

"We don't see any signs of him getting any abnormalities right now, so why not let him stay in there? It will be the same if he comes out."

Lu Ziyun and Pei Yu both nodded in agreement, and then explained the situation to Huo Shen.

Huo Shen had no objection, but Sang Chi was afraid of causing trouble and was unwilling to come out.

He waved his hand, his eyes carefully scanning everyone present, finally landing on Sangsang, and said, "Can I ask you for a favor?"

Sang Chi pursed his lips slightly, with a hint of uneasiness on his face, as if he was afraid that they would reject him.

At this moment, no matter what he said, people would listen, and several people nodded in unison.

Sang Chi pursed his lips and said, "After I turn into a zombie, I'll ask you to take care of Sangsang..."

"Are you entrusting your child to someone else now?" Lu Ziting frowned and interrupted him, "Can you think of something good?"

No one wants to see Sang Chi turn into a zombie, and hearing him say such things makes people feel angry and sad, as if the separation of life and death is right in front of them.

After hearing what Sang Chi said, Sang Sang was also very angry. She snorted fiercely and said fiercely:

"I want Brother Sang Chi, I want Brother Ziyun and Ziting, I want Brother Pei Yu and Huo Shen, I want every brother, Sangsang is the most greedy bad boy."

Sangsang pointed her short little hand at Sang Chi through the glass window and muttered, "That's why you can't leave me."

She pursed her lips, puffed up her tender little cheeks, and continued, "Brother, if you come out now, Sangsang would still like to hug you."

"If you come out late, I won't hold you."

The ferocious little guy successfully frightened Sang Chi, and he was eaten to death.

Sang Chi didn't dare to say anything more. He quickly took off his protective suit, ran out happily, picked up Sang Sang and held her in his arms.

At this time, Huo Shen compared and observed Sang Chi's blood, and the result was out.

Under the super-powerful microscope, it can be seen that Sang Chi's blood is undergoing abnormal changes, which means that his transformation into a zombie seems to be a foregone conclusion.

The atmosphere is a bit heavy.

Sang Chi turned back into a poor big dog drenched by the rain, hugging his sister for comfort.

Lu Ziyun and Lu Ziting pursed their lips and looked unhappy. Even Pei Yu, who usually had a blank expression, frowned.

Huo Shen looked at the gloomy family team and was silent for a few seconds. He said, "Maybe I have a way to help Sang Chi."

Everyone looked at him with sparkling eyes when they heard that.

Huo Shen coughed lightly and continued a little embarrassedly: "You all know that when I was in the police station, I was doing research on zombies."

"And my ultimate goal is the zombie virus inhibitor, in other words, the zombie virus vaccine."

"If a vaccine could be developed to prevent the zombie virus from infecting the human body, the current situation would not be so bad."

Lu Ziting was excited: "Have you figured it out?"

"How is that possible? Do you think you are researching cabbage?" Huo Shen looked at him helplessly and shook his head, "I don't have the conditions and level."

His major is forensic medicine, and pharmaceutical research is biology.

His family's business had previously collaborated with pharmaceutical companies, which sparked his interest in pharmaceuticals. Furthermore, he was bright and eager to learn, so when he was studying, he had a doctoral supervisor to guide him, which allowed him to get into the field.

However, the zombie virus vaccine is too complicated and requires more professional scientific researchers and equipment to be successfully researched.

Lu Ziyun was puzzled: "What do you mean by having a way to help him?"

"It refers to sustained-release capsule granules." Huo Shen took the backpack placed aside and took out a small medicine box from the interlayer.

There were only a few blue and white capsule particles inside, which looked a bit similar to amoxicillin, an anti-inflammatory and heat-reducing medicine.

"According to my research, the main purpose of sustained-release capsules is to extend the incubation period of the zombie virus as much as possible."

"Another explanation is that the zombie virus can be regarded as rabies. As long as it does not break out, the person will still be a normal person."

Lu Ziting understood that both the zombie virus and rabies are fatal once they break out.

However, the incubation period of rabies is long, ranging from three to six months, and the longest incubation period recorded is as long as six years.

The zombie virus is short-lived, and the onset is very fast after being bitten.

He scratched his head and asked, "How long can it last after taking it?"

Huo Shen sighed helplessly, "The sample collected is too small to determine the exact value, I only know that it has some effect."

Whether to take this medicine or not is ultimately decided by Sang Chi himself.

Sang Chi listened quietly to the conversation between the few people. He reached out to take the capsule, put it in his mouth without hesitation, swallowed it with a sip of water, and said, "I'll try it. Maybe the incubation period can be extended by ten years. Then I'll make a profit."

Huo Shen looked at Sang Chi, who was full of optimism, and patted him on the shoulder. "After taking the medicine, if your body has any adverse reactions, such as nausea, dizziness, or vomiting, you must tell me immediately."

He nodded and wrote it down.

Fortunately, by the evening, Sang Chi seemed to be in good condition and nothing unusual had happened, which made Lu Ziyun and the others feel relieved.

Now all the zombies in the campus have been cleared out, so the surviving teachers and students slept on the big bunk beds in the gymnasium for a night and then returned to their own dormitories.

Sang Chi still slept in the same room with Huang Jue, while Lu Ziting and the others slept in another room for four people.

But in the middle of the night, Sang Chi vaguely heard Huang Jue talking in his sleep, which made him very annoyed.

He opened his eyes and was woken up, but was shocked. This four-person room was very quiet and Huang Jue didn't make any sound at all.

Sang Chi suddenly thought of the man in the pharmacy. When he was looking for medicine before the mutation, his face was also anxious and irritable.

He took a deep breath, trying to control his emotions, thinking that something was wrong.

Then he threw back the quilt, got out of bed as quietly as possible, and walked out of the dormitory.
