Chapter 302 Is it still useful now?
"close the door!"
As Manager Wang anxiously ran towards Han Shuo and the other two, he shouted into the communicator.
The entrance passage began to descend, and at the same time, Steward Wang arrived in front of Fatty and Xiao Zhao.
With two thuds, he kicked the two men into the passage again, one after the other.
Ouch!
"hiss--!"
The two men screamed in pain, clearly showing that Manager Wang's two kicks were quite forceful.
The next instant, just as he was about to reach Han Shuo, Han Shuo wisely took the first step and ran into the passage.
He wasn't kicked...
"Hmph! That brat!"
Manager Wang cursed under his breath, then glared at him fiercely.
The next second, just before the passage closed, the two of them crawled inside together.
"Thump!"
The entrance passage was completely closed, and the encirclement formed by the zombie beasts finally swallowed up this land.
Thus, humanity was declared defeated in this war, but all the survivors were safely evacuated.
...
Meanwhile, in a research lab within the underground research institute.
Let's rewind a few minutes:
At this moment, only Li Shurou was still in the room.
Her forehead was covered in sweat as she intently analyzed the turbid liquid in front of her using a simple instrument.
She had already completed this step, and soon she successfully analyzed the components in the turbid liquid.
"call--!"
Li Shurou took a deep breath, her eyes narrowed, and she began operating the simple equipment to continue the final step of purification.
She had tried this final step countless times over the past few months.
Unfortunately, she failed every time...
Inside the entire underground research institute, there was only one large instrument for purifying turbid liquid.
This large instrument has been calibrated to extreme precision and can now operate semi-automatically.
With this instrument, Li Shurou can easily purify the turbid liquid.
However, this is not her own technology.
The large-scale equipment for purifying turbid liquids ultimately belongs to the underground research institute. With Li Shurou's current capabilities, she can only obtain a simplified version of the equipment.
To truly master the technique of turbid liquid purification, she must know all the details of the technique and personally and independently use a simplified version of the instrument to complete all the processes step by step.
...
At this moment, Li Shurou, as usual, was fine-tuning the instrument while quickly extracting the beneficial components from the turbid liquid.
This process allows no room for carelessness, because if the operation is even a second too fast or too slow, the purification of the turbid liquid will fail.
Although Li Shurou's face showed signs of fatigue, her fingers were moving with unusual seriousness.
Suddenly, she stood frozen in place, her eyes filled with disbelief.
This time, the indicator light on the instrument did not light up a red failure message; instead, it flashed a green light.
Green indicates the completion of the purification of the turbid liquid.
This was the first time Li Shurou had seen a green indicator light after trying so many times.
"I...I succeeded?"
Her eyes widened, and she unexpectedly muttered to herself.
Her fingers trembled slightly, but she only paused for a moment before her eyes filled with joy.
Yes, she succeeded; she successfully completed the first purification of the turbid liquid.
The next second, she quickly absorbed this joy into her heart, and then carefully reviewed the entire process of this operation in her mind.
Next, she documented the steps she had taken to fine-tune the simple instrument.
After everything was tallied, she took the purified turbid liquid out of the simple instrument.
Looking at the purified liquid in her hand, she should have continued to be happy, but at this moment, she felt that she couldn't be happy at all.
She glanced towards the door, her gaze somewhat lost, and murmured to herself.
"I've finally mastered the technique for purifying turbid liquids, but is it still useful now?"
"Can the underground research institute withstand this crisis...? Can we all continue to survive...?"
At this time, Li Shurou had no idea how far the war had progressed.
Unbeknownst to her, the frontline personnel had already been defeated, and Han Shuo and the others had retreated back to the underground research institute.
...
Meanwhile, at a corner inside the entrance passage, a small, thin figure lurked in the shadows.
It's Wai-di!
After leaving the ward, Wai Di came straight here. He had been hiding here for a long time, observing the situation from a corner.
"Thump!"
The sound of the entrance passage closing reached his ears.
Wai Di quickly perked up, and the next second, he saw Manager Wang leading all the survivors from the front line back.
"Hmph! These people weren't stupid enough to stay out there and die!"
He snorted inwardly, then without the slightest hesitation, turned and ran down the passage.
His eyes were filled with anxiety. At this moment, no one in the underground research institute knew what he wanted to do!
...
"Phew~"
Manager Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the entrance gate was completely closed.
The next second, a surge of anger welled up inside him.
Because he saw that the four people he had just kicked back were still lying on the ground.
"Are you guys out of your minds?! What kind of time is this? Instead of getting out of here, you're still trying to collect the turbid liquid?"
After he finished speaking, he turned his gaze to Han Shuo, who was standing next to him.
"And you, you brat! You've got some nerve!"
Han Shuo smiled awkwardly on the spot, not daring to say a word in rebuttal.
"snort!"
Manager Wang snorted angrily, then ignored the group and walked straight into the crowd.
At this moment, a series of noisy voices filled with negative emotions rang out in the passageway, and he needed to calm everyone down first.
"It's over, we've lost!"
"The passage above must be overrun by the horde of zombies; we're completely trapped here."
"Steward Wang, have we really lost?"
"Manager Wang, what should we do next?"
...
These words were almost entirely spoken by the ordinary survivors who joined later.
Recalling the scene of the battle just now, they couldn't help but feel fear.
At this moment, these people became the most unstable ones here.
"Quiet!"
Steward Wang shouted sternly.
The next second, the scene fell silent; his authority here was still very high.
"Don't panic, everyone. When the underground research institute is sealed off, no matter how many zombies are outside, they absolutely cannot get in here!"
"Even though we were defeated, we are safe underground!"
"So, we still have hope. We can't give up. Everyone, pull yourselves together! Believe in me! Believe in the director! Believe in the underground research institute!"
