Chapter 173 Signal Source
Once Ji Zai had the supplies, he quickly made his escape.
From the plane, all they could see when they looked down was the outside of the shelter, surrounded by hundreds of zombies.
The soldiers at the outpost kept shining their guns at the enemy, but to little avail.
The zombies kept attacking the iron gate of the shelter.
The heavy door, weighing several thousand kilograms, blocked their way, yet it still caused some turbulence.
Ji Zai withdrew his gaze, "May you have good luck, shelter."
Having obtained what he wanted, Ji Zai drove all the way back to school.
As the plane landed, only a few figures could be vaguely seen on the playground.
Upon seeing the plane, Manman immediately walked over, "Leader..."
Ji Zai stepped off the plane and asked, "What are you doing here? Are you feeling unwell?"
Manman shook her head. "I do feel unwell, but not as badly as others. Maybe it's just that my symptoms are slower to appear."
Oh, I see.
Ji Zai sighed, "Then go back and rest after you've finished moving your things. I asked Ouyang Yi to give you all some compressed biscuits. If you can't hold on any longer, you don't need to go to the canteen to prepare meals."
Manman nodded and looked at the other temporary workers who were still able to move.
They slowly carried the medicine back to their dormitory.
Before leaving, Manman turned back and asked, "Alliance Leader, I'd like to ask, how is the shelter?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Zai thought for a moment and said, "Very good, they have their superiors protecting them, so they are still relatively safe."
Manman laughed after hearing this, "That's alright."
Ji Zai was a little curious, "You didn't ask when we went to the Golden Nest and the lab before, why do you suddenly want to ask now that we're at the shelter?"
Manman paused for a moment, then explained, "Because the shelter takes in a lot of people, I think he should be able to leave too."
"he?"
Manman lowered her head and gave a bitter smile. "My boyfriend isn't from Ning City, but before the outbreak, he came to Ning University with his advisor to participate in a research project, so I'm worried that he might not be able to go back."
My boyfriend.
This is a very rare thing for historical records.
After all, she had been in Ningmeng for so long and had never heard the girls in Ningmeng talk about boyfriends. Later she found out that these useless guys were all single dogs.
Ji Zai couldn't even enjoy the gossip.
Now, when she suddenly hears this title, it takes her a long time to react.
She comforted him, "If he can reach the shelter, then there's nothing to worry about. Although the person in charge of the shelter is unethical, he's still good to ordinary people. There's food and lodging, and he can also help eliminate the zombie virus. Don't worry."
Manman nodded upon hearing this, and then continued carrying the box away.
Ji Zai parked the plane and headed towards the laboratory building. He found Dr. Cui on the first floor and said, "Dr. Cui, I've brought back the drugs and the other items. Let me connect to the main system and take a look."
Dr. Cui coughed twice. "So fast? My medicine hasn't even been prepared yet."
“Then your initiative is lacking.” Ji Zai criticized mercilessly. “By the way, I saw your son at the shelter. He can eat and jump around, and he even got a government job.”
Dr. Cui paused upon hearing this. "Still alive?"
"Alive".
"They didn't fall into enemy hands and be severely tortured?"
"They don't know you're here with me, nor do they know the relationship between Lingchuan and Ningmeng."
Ji Zai thought for a moment, raising an eyebrow slightly, "Not necessarily. When I went there, I saw Ling Zhe taking his pile of junk to seek refuge at the shelter. He should know Ling Chuan. I don't know if he will tell the head of the shelter."
Dr. Cui thought for a moment, "Then it should be fine. As long as they don't know I'm here with you, my son should be safe and sound."
Dr. Cui felt a mix of emotions as he spoke of this.
To put it simply, he's like a law-abiding citizen who's been tricked onto a pirate ship, constantly worried about his identity being exposed.
He felt that if his work in Ningmeng were to be exposed, his entire clan would be in danger!
Dr. Cui felt heartbroken at this thought; why did he have to be caught by the wicked Ning Meng?
He continued conducting experiments despite feeling unwell.
Ji Zai glanced at him and said, "Don't rush to complain. I have a discovery to tell you: the more zombies there are, the more serious the virus becomes. I need you to quickly produce an inhibitor, otherwise the Ning Alliance will be in a very passive position."
Upon hearing this, Dr. Cui paused, "The more zombies, the more virus? Are you sure?"
"I'm not entirely sure."
Ji Zai recalled what happened back then and said, "At first, when Ning Da was surrounded by a sea of zombies, we didn't feel much. It wasn't until I set fire to the zombies that the Ning Alliance members started to have high fevers."
"By the way, didn't you guys develop high fevers while you were hiding in the lab building?"
Dr. Cui thought for a moment and shook his head, "Very few. During that period, apart from the hot weather and the lack of food, which made things a bit tough, I didn't notice any high fever."
"But speaking of this, it reminds me of something."
"All those with fevers were forcibly taken away."
"I was researching the zombie virus at the time and locked myself in a room, so I couldn't stop it. I only found out about it after I came out."
"Later, when the rain stopped, I went to the training hall to send a text message for help. When I came back, I found the laboratory building deserted."
"I kept checking and eventually found the girls' dormitory area."
“That makes sense,” Ji Zai said. “At that time, Qin Guanlan was with you. He had the inhibitor, so he used it to suppress the virus’s mutation. That’s why very few people in the lab building had a fever, but once they did, they would be taken away.”
"Your laboratory building had suppressants, so the fever didn't spread on a large scale, but our girls' dormitory area didn't, which caused a large number of people to have persistent high fevers and almost lose their lives."
Fortunately, we made it through in the end.
"After they got through that difficult time, their health suddenly improved."
At this point, Ji Zai frowned, "Su Dan had a check-up done privately, and the result was also a bacterial infection."
Dr. Cui was surprised to hear this, "Just like this time."
"Yes, I was thinking that since zombies are products of a virus, after we grind the zombies to dust, the virus, having no carrier, will flow into the air and eventually be inhaled by us."
"But what's interesting is that...we who were invaded by these viruses didn't turn into zombies."
"It's just a simple bacterial infection."
"And back then, the rain would cause our skin to turn red and itchy immediately upon contact, and some of us would develop persistent high fevers, but without being soaked in large amounts, we still didn't turn into zombies."
"What would it take for us to turn into zombies?"
"What exactly are the conditions for becoming a zombie? Being bitten? Being soaked in rain? Or death?"
After Ji Zai finished speaking, he found it interesting and took out the overseas controller. "I think I've found a very interesting breakthrough point. As long as we find out the reason why we turned into zombies, we can make a targeted breakthrough."
"Doomsday is controllable."
"Before that, Dr. Cui, please manufacture the inhibitor as soon as possible. I don't want to get sick because of these bacteria."
Dr. Cui nodded. "I understand."
After Ji Zai finished speaking, he walked towards the main control room.
Having classified equipment has one advantage.
That is, their equipment never relies on signal towers, but connects directly to satellite signals.
Therefore, there are no restrictions on how it can be controlled now.
After Ji Zai connected to the system's central hub, she was surprised to find a signal source. Looking at it, she chuckled, "Tsk, we've been tricked by the shelter. They actually imported a tracking signal source into the overseas controller's system. They probably know exactly where Ningmeng is now."
She casually erased the signal source code.
Forget it, even if you know where Ningmeng is, what can you do about it?
On the other side, Su Ling, who had obtained the exact location of Ningmeng, was somewhat surprised. "Ningda? This is really an interesting place."
Qin Guanlan, who was working as an assistant, raised his eyes in surprise when he heard about Ningda. "Ningmeng is at Ningda? Impossible! Before I left Ningda, it was already dilapidated and on its last legs, completely worthless. Why would Ningmeng go there?"
"Have you ever considered that they didn't go there, but that they've always been there?"
Su Miao recalled Liang Wang's words and suddenly laughed, "No wonder he meddled in this matter. It turns out he wasn't acting out of kindness, but rather to stand up for his teacher."
"King Liang, do you even know what kind of monsters your students are?"
