However, his good fortune didn't last long. One day, while Cha Zhijun was out, he was attacked by zombies and inevitably got bitten.
Just as his body was undergoing strange changes, he, who should have been doomed to die, suddenly had the image of X1 injection fluid flash through his mind.
Since he was going to die anyway, he might as well take a gamble! Cha Zhijun gritted his teeth and forced himself to stay upright, relying on the last bit of his sanity, and with trembling hands injected the X1 injection into his body.
Unexpectedly, a miracle actually happened, and all the symptoms of the zombie disease disappeared in the blink of an eye.
His thoughts gradually became clearer, and even his teeth, which had become extremely sharp, returned to their original state; the ruptured blood vessels disappeared without a trace as if by magic.
Her originally pale skin gradually regained a healthy blush; and her pupils, which had been extremely dilated due to the virus infection, shrank back to their normal size.
It turns out that this mysterious drug can actually effectively suppress the spread of the zombie virus! This discovery rekindled Cha Zhijun's desire to live, but at the same time he also knew that he only had 12 doses of X1 drug, which could only last for three days at most.
Time was of the essence; he had to find the major immediately and obtain more X1 injections to completely rid himself of the threat of the zombie virus.
However, when he finally found the major, what the major said made him completely lose hope.
"Mr. Cha, according to the contract, we have already paid for the supplies you needed, and the transaction is now complete."
The major's words were righteous and eloquent, and he was actually right.
"Can't you give us more? That will only last for three days."
"I'm sorry, this drug is currently in the experimental stage and has not been mass-produced. I apologize that I cannot help you with this!"
It seems the military really went all out for those generators.
"I'm willing to give up everything I have in exchange for you, is that alright?"
"Mr. Cha, I'm really sorry, but the quantity of this medicine is truly limited."
The major rejected him once again.
"Okay, I understand!"
Cha Zhijun knew very well that no matter how hard he tried to explain or plead with these tough soldiers, it would be to no avail.
Left with no other choice, he silently turned away, his expression dejected, preparing to leave. He thought to himself, "Oh well, there are only three days left. I must seize every second to properly handle everything after I'm gone..."
Just as he turned around and had taken ten steps, the major called out to him.
"Mr. Cha, please wait, there is actually a way!"
Upon hearing that there was still a way, Cha Zhijun immediately turned around.
"Major, is there any way? Just tell me, as long as it's within my power."
Cha Zhijun seemed to see a glimmer of hope amidst his despair.
"Unless you can work for our military."
"What to do? I'm willing to do anything, just don't let me turn into a zombie."
This dignified seven-foot-tall man practically cried as he spoke for the sake of survival.
"Mr. Cha, please remain calm and come to my office to talk!"
As everyone knows, Cha Zhijun had been secretly searching for crystal core resources for the military under the name of Desheng Generator, but at the same time, he had to strictly keep all classified information related to the military confidential.
This leads to the series of thrilling adventures mentioned earlier—since Ye Lei launched a thorough investigation into the Black Tiger Gang at Ruifeng Garden, one thrilling adventure after another has begun.
After Cha Zhijun finished his explanation, Ye Lei finally had a clear understanding of the whole matter, which made him even more curious about the mysterious X Laboratory.
"Uncle, according to the agreement, haven't you been collecting crystal cores for the military? They should be giving you X1 drugs all the time, right?"
Ye Lei asked with a puzzled look.
“You’re right, but do you know that the X1 drug is actually very harmful to the human body? Ever since I started injecting that drug, my health has been deteriorating day by day.”
"Think about it, it makes sense. It must be like this: the drug that can resist the zombie virus is actually the virus itself."
"You're right. In fact, he is consuming the body's normal cells to fight the zombie virus."
After a long period of observation and experience, Cha Zhijun has gained a very in-depth and detailed understanding of the properties, efficacy, and possible side effects of these drugs.
However, simply understanding this doesn't change anything, because the reality is harsh—if you don't want to get infected and become a zombie, you have to use these drugs to protect yourself.
"The news reports say that the country is already developing a vaccine that can turn people back from zombies. Wouldn't that be more effective than your X1?"
Ye Lei asked.
"Vaccines? Don't be ridiculous, there's no such thing!"
Cha Zhijun sneered.
"Oh no! What's going on? Were they all lies?"
"What do you think? That's just a bunch of lies the government told to avoid social instability and unrest. I haven't seen a single zombie turn back in all this time!"
So that's how it is. This is probably the biggest lie since the end of the world!
"I really didn't expect that, so that's how it is!"
Although Ye Lei had long since given up hope for the apocalypse, he never expected the country to have this attitude.
"I just received an injection of X2, which is their upgraded second-generation drug."
"Then the side effects shouldn't be that severe, right?"
"Yes, but according to the major, the cost has increased considerably, so they need more crystal cores to exchange for it!"
"So, the crystal cores you gave them couldn't meet their needs, and that's why the cooperation ran into problems?"
"Ye Lei, you're really smart. You're absolutely right. As resources in the city dwindle, the food available for zombies to survive also decreases. A large number of zombies have already left the city, making it increasingly difficult to obtain crystal cores!"
It seems that even zombies need to survive; otherwise, they wouldn't have launched repeated attacks on the stadium under the leadership of the Gale Cheetah.
"Uncle, what do you want me to do? I don't have a large number of crystal cores to provide you!"
Ye Lei painstakingly collected crystal cores, but he didn't even have enough for himself. Asking him to give them to the army was impossible.
"Of course I know that. I knew you needed a lot of crystal cores from the last time you came!"
It seems that Cha Zhijun is a smart man.
"Besides the crystal core, what else can I do?"
In fact, Ye Lei had already guessed what Cha Zhijun wanted him to do, but he needed to say it himself.
