Chapter 406: Universal Celebration
Her memory still lingered on the scene where her husband, with veins bulging on his forehead and tears in his eyes, bid her farewell as she entered the base research institute in City B.
The memories after that were a blur, filled with endless pain and a strong desire for human flesh.
She looked around at the strange men and women in tight protective suits.
It was not until I saw Dr. Ling Nie's smiling face, which was well-known to everyone in the B City base, that I dared to come up with a guess.
The two researchers who were responsible for observing her condition saw that her eyes were lively and she seemed to have regained consciousness. A flash of surprise flashed through their minds, and they hurriedly took the recorder and ran to her bedside to ask.
"Ms. Shi Lan, do you feel the wound on your arm itchy? Do you feel hot? What time is it?"
Faced with the researcher's rapid-fire questions at the bedside, Shi Lan was about to answer when a piece of sticky, smelly object suddenly got stuck in his throat.
This thing suddenly came out from nowhere and blocked her back. Within two seconds, her face turned red.
The researcher asked questions one after another and was about to record the experimental data with the recorder, but did not get the response he expected. He immediately shifted his gaze from the recorder to Shi Lan lying on the hospital bed.
Suddenly he saw Shi Lan clutching his neck with both hands and a strange look on his face. His expression tightened, thinking that there were some new side effects in the zombie vaccine clinical trial.
Just as he was about to inform the doctor, another female researcher with a medical background beside him quickly realized that something was wrong with the volunteer in front of her.
He picked up the metal tray on the bedside table with his left hand and placed it next to Shi Lan's mouth in time, and his right hand kept patting her back in a hollow drum shape.
"Cough—ugh!"
"Bang."
With a crisp sound, a mass of black and red unknown sticky substance appeared on the metal tray.
The smell it exuded was exactly the same stench that zombies carried with them every day, familiar and disgusting.
Immediately after Shi Lan's unexpected reaction, the other seven people seemed to have started vomiting out clumps of black and red sticky substances one after another.
However, the size decreased with the degree of their zombie transformation, and the one spit out by Shi Lan was the largest among the eight volunteers.
However, after this, the eight volunteers seemed to have completely regained their human form, and there was no trace of zombie-like changes on their bodies.
The researchers then asked the eight volunteers the questions they had prepared one by one.
Some questions were even asked repeatedly until the answer remained constant within a certain value.
But in fact, these eight volunteers who can already sit in their hospital beds and breathe normally are very happy to answer these boring questions.
At this point, even if you ask them two hundred times, they won’t feel annoyed!
Just yesterday, I realized that I would become a mindless zombie that would bite anyone it saw, and I became Dr. Ling Nie's experimental subject with the determination to die.
But today he miraculously recovered his human form!
A certain man sat beside the hospital bed excitedly and answered questions honestly, but his heart was filled with rage.
Who says Chinese people have no faith?
He now has the urge to regard the B City Base as his lifelong belief!
He has a low level of education and doesn't know how to describe the excellence of the B City base. He can only say that the leaders here are good, the research institute is good, and the future will be even better!
God has abandoned mankind, but the B City Base has brought them another hope of survival.
At this moment, he was thankful countless times that he had applied to participate in the human experiment of the zombie vaccine.
"My throat isn't itchy, my head isn't hurting, and I'm not thirsty. That's five. So, Miss Researcher, can I ask if I'm truly well now?"
Shi Lan looked at the female researcher who had just patted her on the back with red eyes.
The female researcher's voice was cold but with a hint of suppressed excitement, and it came through the tight N95 mask, her voice was muffled and concise.
"Based on the current situation, yes, you are fully recovered. And you will not mutate again if you are scratched by a zombie in the future. You already have antibodies in your body that can devour the zombie virus. This is Dr. Ling's latest research."
The moment Shi Lan got the exact answer, she almost didn't know how to react.
My throat was so stiff and sore that I couldn't make a sound, not even the word "thank you".
I just watched as a little girl in the next bed held the researcher's hand and burst into tears after hearing what she said!
It seems like he wants to vent out all the despair and fear that has accumulated after being infected with the zombie virus!
They were not the only ones who were ecstatic at this time. When the recovery of the eight volunteers all reached the success standard set by Ling Nie in advance, all the researchers' faces turned red.
A middle-aged researcher who had been instructed by Ling Nie summarized eight sets of data and handed them to Ling Nie who was waiting nearby with trembling hands.
"Ling, Dr. Ling, it's a success! The human experiment was successful!"
The moment he finished speaking, all the researchers inside and outside the laboratory gathered in groups of three or four and cried loudly.
God knows how long they have been waiting and longing for this day!
Until a month ago, many researchers who entered Ling Nie's laboratory still believed that the zombie vaccine was a difficult problem that humans could not solve in this lifetime.
Who knew that it would actually succeed today? Dr. Ling Nie is so strong and great!
They were so scared that everything they saw was just a dream that they didn't even dare to cry out loud, for fear that everything would be gone when they woke up.
What was different from them was that all the survivors in the B City base who were watching this experiment at the same time burst into tears!
"It's done! It's done! We finally have a vaccine for zombies!! We have a chance to have a future!!"
