Yin Xinyue got out of the car and saw an old man covered in blood lying in front of the car.
There are small bulges under his skin, with translucent white dots on the top, which seem like they will burst out at any time.
Yin Xinyue did not step forward to help him, but asked, "Are you okay? Can you get up?"
The old man got up while panting and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, little girl, I don't have much time left. I finally met a living person. Can you please do me a favor?"
Yin Xinyue didn't want to take on the responsibility, "No..."
The old man knew that she was going to refuse. No one would agree to her request given his half-dead appearance.
He interrupted, "I know what you are going to say, but please don't say it and listen to me.
As long as you listen to me, I will give you something good. "
Without waiting for Yin Xinyue to answer, fearing that the other party would not listen, the old man continued: "I am a doctor of medicine from the Ketai Research Institute. Do you know Niu Taishan? He is the medical genius. I am his assistant. When the apocalypse just broke out, we..."
Yin Xinyue did not interrupt him when she heard him mention Niu Taishan. She had seen reports about this person on the Internet, with mixed reviews.
Niu Taishan was born in the countryside. His family was very poor and had many children. They fell into a vicious cycle of having more children as they became poorer, and the more children they had, the poorer they became.
He was looked down upon since he was a child. He relied on scholarships to go to college and studied medicine. Unexpectedly, he was very talented in medicine.
However, he had no power and was always suppressed. Without exception, everything he developed was designed and threatened by others, who said that they were developed together and the credit and achievements should be divided up.
He always said with a smile, "It's nothing, it's all contribution to the country", but no one knows what he really thinks.
From the old man's narration, Yin Xinyue learned that at the beginning their team was indeed conducting experiments normally and actually developed some results.
They extracted the energy from the crystal core, increased its purity, and prepared it into supernatural potions.
The psychic potion can instantly restore the energy of the psychic.
Generally speaking, once the supernatural power is consumed, it can be restored naturally or by absorbing crystal cores, but both of these take time.
In a battle, things change rapidly and a single second could turn the tide of battle, turn defeat into victory, and save a life, so once the supernatural potion was announced, it attracted many people with supernatural powers to work for them.
With this achievement, they want to solve the zombie problem from the root.
After all, there is a limited amount of supernatural potion, the research and development process is time-consuming and consumes crystal cores, and the disappearance of zombies is the most core issue.
They came up with a zombie fungus that could infect ants, cut off their nervous systems and control their movements.
When the ant reaches the designated location, the fungus will destroy the ant's muscle tissue, kill the ant, grow inside the ant's body, release spores, and start a new cycle.
Zombie fungi are not heat-resistant and will be killed by the human body when the temperature exceeds 37 degrees. There is no need to worry about infecting humans.
Zombies have no temperature, and they want to use zombie fungi to control them.
This is a normal zombie fungus. No one is sure whether the mutated fungus will infect humans.
The team had a disagreement on this, and half of them wanted to quit for fear of being infected, but opportunities often coexist with risks.
Niu Taishan didn't want to be suppressed. He wanted to stand out so much and thought this was a good opportunity.
He used his eloquent tongue to paint a big pie for everyone. If they could really succeed, they would be unprecedented heroes and their names would go down in history.
What an honor this is!
They can save all of humanity!
The convinced personnel had a raging fire in their hearts. They were willing to devote themselves to medicine and go down in history, so they enthusiastically devoted themselves to research day and night.
At first, the fungus infected the zombies, but it just infected them without any effect.
Thanks to the team's unremitting efforts and careful cultivation, the fungus is able to control low-level zombies, obstruct them when they attack, and cause their muscles to become uncontrollable.
As they were trying to find a way to allow the fungus to completely control the zombies, the fungal spores leaked and spread throughout the institute.
Fortunately, low-level psychics and ordinary people will be infected, but high-level psychics will not be affected.
After the old man escaped, he found that he had not been spared. He could have devoted himself to medicine, but he was unwilling to die without seeing the final results.
So when he met Yin Xinyue, a living person, he just bumped into her.
The old man handed a sealed bag to Yin Xinyue, "Here are the experimental records and Chinese medicine formulas."
Yin Xinyue was puzzled, "Chinese medicine formula?"
“I’m an old Chinese doctor. After the end of the world, I awakened my wood-related supernatural powers. I fed the essence extracted from Chinese herbs to people who had just mutated, and found that it could slow down the spread of the virus.
Although the effect is minimal, it is still a major discovery. I don't have time, so I'll leave these to you. If possible, please continue your research and end the apocalypse as early as possible. Ahem...
I am dying, the bumps on my face will burst and grow fungus stalks, which will burn me before the spore sacs on the stalks erupt." The old man said all these words with great effort.
"Uncle, I am very touched and admire your efforts, but I am just an ordinary person. I don't want to be a savior, I don't have the ability, and I don't know Chinese medicine. You..."
The old man interrupted Yin Xinyue again, "You don't have to do it. Please give these to someone who is willing to do it. Uncle, please."
Yin Xinyue felt unhappy and wrapped the sealed bag in a big bag.
Just like the old man said, if you don’t want to do it, you can hand it over to someone who is willing to do it.
“By the way, wood-type mutants can directly extract the essence of medicinal materials through compression and condensation, eliminating the need for the preparation process, saving time and effort.
I would like to ask you to go to the Kotai Research Institute and take a look. The spores must not spread out, otherwise most of the human race will...will...be finished."
After the old man finished speaking, he closed his eyes and fell to the ground. The bulge under his skin broke through the skin, and mushroom stalks grew out. In the middle of the mushroom stalk was a bulging spore sac.
These stems have different colors, and a beautiful head becomes a large vase full of colorful spores in the blink of an eye.
Yin Xinyue drove the car for a distance, took out a large piece of white cloth from the space, covered the old man, and bowed three times.
The flower spirit penetrated into the ground continuously, stirring it. A large piece of land was bound by the flower spirit and lifted out and moved to the side.
A big pit suddenly appeared in front of Yin Xinyue, and Hua Ling wrapped the old man around and put him into the pit.
Out of respect for the old man, Yin Xinyue did not use lightning. Instead, she sprinkled some gasoline on the old man and threw a match. Boom! A big fire started.
The fire was extinguished, leaving only ashes in the pit. Hua Ling moved the large lump of earth back, and Yin Xinyue bowed three times again.
She put on gloves and checked the sealed bag inside and out three times, and only set off after finding no spores.
Yin Xinyue spent the next few days outdoors, collecting Chinese herbs as she passed by plants and trees.
