Chapter 222 Li Shurou's Direction
Soon, Han Shuo returned to his residence.
After swiping his ID card, he quickly walked inside.
As soon as I entered, the fat man's voice came from the living room.
"You're back?"
"Um."
Han Shuo nodded without responding further, because he saw that Dr. Lin was sitting on the sofa.
"Dr. Lin, you've arrived?"
He smiled and went up to greet them; without a doubt, the two were discussing the same thing.
Dr. Lin holds a high position in the underground research institute, so he should be able to get the news faster than Qingyu.
"Okay, you kids stay here. I've finished talking to you, so I'm going back now."
Dr. Lin smiled and nodded at Han Shuo, then slowly got up and left.
Han Shuo and the others hurriedly saw him to the door. After Dr. Lin left, everyone sat down together.
"Shurou, Dr. Lin is here to see you, right?"
Before Li Shurou could reply, the fat man excitedly shouted from the side.
"Yes, yes, Han Shuo, I have some amazing news for you."
"Let me tell you..."
"Alright, you don't need to say anything more, I already know."
Han Shuo didn't give the fat man any more time to dawdle and interrupted him directly. Then Xiao Zhao also placed the documents on the table.
"Damn, where did this information come from? Why didn't you bring it out sooner?"
The fat man grabbed the documents and said exaggeratedly.
"Uh, Fatty, Captain Qingyu gave it to us. I saw Dr. Lin talking about it when I came in, so I didn't take it out."
Xiao Zhao awkwardly offered an explanation from the side.
"Alright, alright, let's get down to business."
Han Shuo waved his hand, changing the subject back.
"Shurou, since Dr. Lin came to see you earlier, he must have taken a liking to your talent. You can't miss this opportunity, can you?"
“The rest of us are definitely out of luck; we don’t meet the requirements for this transfer. Your professional skills are very strong, and I feel that you have no problem getting a technical position internally.”
Li Shurou's face showed obvious excitement, but she quickly calmed down.
“I do have confidence in myself, but if I am called up, I will no longer be able to go out with everyone.”
She was well aware that this was a rare opportunity.
In fact, one could say that if one were successfully recruited and obtained the red identity card, as long as the underground research institute remained standing, one would be safe and secure indefinitely.
This peaceful life is quite different from that of the ordinary survivors here.
Because you no longer have to work hard all day, and you no longer have to worry about food...
But when she thought of the many times she and Han Shuo and others had lived and died together, and the various scenes of them working together to fight against zombies outside.
This time, Li Shurou's emotions triumphed over her reason.
She would never allow herself to abandon her teammates.
She looked serious and said resolutely.
"I'm not going! I want to stay with everyone."
Li Shurou's next words touched everyone.
In fact, no matter how well some people have treated you before, it may not make a difference.
Just like the friends around you, when you are in trouble, it is already very good to have someone who helps you wholeheartedly.
Only when faced with such a choice of pros and cons can one truly see whether the people around them are sincere...
Han Shuo got up and sat down next to Li Shurou, smiling as he spoke.
"See? Isn't that petty?"
"Who told you that being called upon would mean leaving us? You can continue living here. When things are quiet each day, everyone is the same as usual, nothing changes."
"But……"
Just as Li Shurou was about to speak, Han Shuo interrupted her.
"Shurou, I know you're very smart. You need to know that if you're called upon, you'll bring a significant boost to the team!"
After saying this, Li Shurou fell silent.
She is smart and has her own opinions. Li Shurou easily understood the hidden meaning behind Han Shuo's reference to the improvement she brought to the team.
When Han Shuo, Fatty, and Li Shurou first entered the underground research institute, they discussed a topic:
The amount of the turbid fluid needed to become a genetically modified human might not be as much as publicly disclosed; some might have been secretly extracted by those above...
Although this was just a guess by the three of them, it was quite accurate.
Li Shurou knew that if things were really as the three people thought, then she had to take this opportunity to get inside.
That's why she's been following Dr. Lin around all this time, learning relevant knowledge.
If she could successfully master the technology of purifying turbid liquid, she could find a way to ensure that the turbid liquid in everyone's hands did not pass through the underground research institute, thus maximizing its potential.
Li Shurou was a decisive person, so she stopped arguing and nodded seriously in agreement.
Han Shuo smiled with relief and offered another word of comfort.
"Don't worry, we've learned a lot from you during this time. We know how to bandage and treat simple injuries if we get hurt outside."
"Yes, everyone should be extra careful when going out in the future."
At this moment, the fat man sitting next to him started to jeer.
"Hey, hey, hey, didn't you see me pointing at myself for ages? I can do it too! I'm a computer genius, I think I can do it too!"
And you know what? The atmosphere was a bit tense just now, but the fat man's words immediately livened it up again.
Xiao Zhao, who was standing nearby, quickly stepped in to help.
"Yeah, Brother Han, Fatty's right. I think Fatty should go too..."
Before he could finish the next two words, he was stopped by Han Shuo's gaze.
After glancing at Xiao Zhao, Han Shuo turned and glared fiercely at the fat man, speaking sternly.
"Don't bother trying, you noob. Stay with me. We need you as a meat shield outside."
"Oh no, this is unfair! It's unfair! Men and women should be equal, okay?"
The fat man was clearly unconvinced and rolled around on the sofa.
"Shurou, then you should go and talk to Dr. Lin tomorrow and ask him to arrange a professional skills test for you."
"Um."
Han Shuo was too lazy to pay attention to the fat man anymore. He gave Li Shurou a brief instruction and then stopped discussing the matter.
"By the way, Fatty, Xiao Zhao, you two come with me to the truck and move some more medicines and supplies over."
"Oh, what?" the fat man replied weakly.
Han Shuo simply lifted him off the sofa and casually offered an explanation.
"I ran into the demon man before I came back. They had gone from being free agents to ordinary survivors, and they're not doing too well right now."
"Last time he traded ten drops of turbid liquid for a truckload of our supplies, which was ultimately too much of a loss. This time, we'll try our best to make it up to the demon man and his men."
"Oh, okay."
"Brother Han, I'll listen to you."
Soon, the three of them transported some more supplies from the truck back, and Han Shuo quietly waited for Cheng Shenghong's arrival.
The day passed quickly. Perhaps because Cheng Shenghong was busy with work after becoming an ordinary survivor, he did not come today.
