Chapter 394 Weakness
"At worst, is it possible to research a way for zombie energy and humans to coexist?"
"Don't you want to know? This is a historic progress for mankind," Zhuang Mobai said excitedly.
"Can you figure it out within three months?" Lu Weiyi asked.
"I have to start researching before this is possible." Zhuang Mobai did not answer him directly.
"But I don't have the time," Lu Weiyi said, "In comparison, I think what you are researching now will be more likely to succeed, after all, there are physical references."
Zhuang Mobai initially studied the method of using snow water to purify crystal cores. Now that he had some idea about it, he asked others to participate in improving efficiency, and he quickly devoted himself to the research of reducing the zombie energy in the body of the psychic.
Lu Weiyi gave him half a peach and asked him to do physical research. Now that they had just begun, problems arose on Cheng Chuan's side.
If there were enough people, Lu Weiyi wouldn't mind carrying out several projects at the same time, but he had investigated the abilities of other people in the laboratory and found that they were not as good as Zhuang Mobai. Now all the research had to be done by him.
"This may be the hope of all mankind. Don't you care about everyone?" Xuna, who rarely speaks, was very emotional.
"Isn't it for the benefit of humanity to reduce the zombie energy in the body of a psychic?" Lu Weiyi retorted.
"How can they be the same? Ordinary people are more likely to be infected with zombie energy. They face a 99% chance of death. However, the superpowers now have the purification crystal core. Even if there is no way to reduce the zombie energy in their bodies, the survival rate will increase to 50%. It's nearly half the comparison ratio. Don't you know which one to choose?"
"But don't you know how low the yield of purified crystal cores is?" Lu Weiyi looked at her, "and..."
"I am selfish."
After all, there are more psychics around him. Even if he has a purified crystal core, he needs to reduce the zombie energy accumulated in his body before upgrading to SS level, otherwise the danger will be just as high.
But he had looked at the number of peaches in the space. There were only a few of them. If he used them now, what about upgrading to SSS level in the future?
What's more, he has more than just his own team. He is now the head of the entire base army. Could it be that he will just ignore the other teams?
"..." Xiuna choked, her chest heaving violently with anger.
Cheng Chuan stood aside with his arms folded. The information he analyzed based on their words was enough to shock him.
"Don't you consider Mingxu and Aiyi? You are a superpower, but they are not. A little zombie energy is enough to take their lives," Zhuang Mobai asked incisively.
"I won't give them any chance to contact them," Lu Weiyi's eyes turned a little cold. "In addition, I have asked people to recruit researchers in other bases. Maybe next year we can form a research team to specialize in the study of zombie energy."
Zhuang Mobai didn't say anything, and just listened to Lu Weiyi saying, "If the project you are working on is completed by then, I will let you be the person in charge. If not, then it's a pity..."
Seeing the elegant Zhuang Mobai gritting his teeth, Lu Weiyi felt really happy. Zhuang Mingxu's method was indeed correct.
This is a research maniac. As long as you give him something that is interesting enough, he will find a way to do it without any urging.
Previously, the peach that could reduce the zombie energy in the body of a psychic was the carrot hanging in front of him, but now it has been replaced by Cheng Chuan.
"I admire your talent, but unfortunately, the initiative is in my hands." Lu Weiyi concluded and pointed to Cheng Chuan beside him, "Dr. Zhuang, can you examine him now?"
"I hope he can live well and peacefully before the research project begins. I believe you know what to do for the hope of all mankind."
Finally, Lu Weiyi added, "Don't worry, every project you are involved in will have your name on it when it is made public. No one will deprive you of your right to fame and your contribution to human development."
"I believe you will leave a significant mark in the history of human development."
Zhuang Mobai was so angry that he laughed, "Mingxu really knows how to train people. The autistic little master who didn't need a psychologist can now speak eloquently in official language. He is really amazing."
"Thank you for the compliment. Please." Lu Weiyi ignored his harmless verbal attack.
Zhuang Mobai finally looked at Cheng Chuan and said, "Come with me."
The inspection process was not cumbersome. Lu Weiyi could guess that the reason why Cheng Chuan was like this now was because the zombie energy and superpowers had reached a balance, and Zhuang Mobai would know it even better.
After testing with professional instruments, Zhuang Mobai became more certain, "Although we haven't figured out what causes this balance, the zombie energy in your body is slowly rising, which will cause you to become more and more like a zombie, until one day you completely become a consciousnessless monster."
Cheng Chuan had guessed this a long time ago, so he was not surprised. "Is there any way to curb it?"
"I haven't studied it, so how would I know?" Zhuang Mobai, who is almost fifty years old, still said angry words.
Cheng Chuan raised his eyebrows but said nothing. Lu Weiyi ignored him and handled things on the walkie-talkie. From time to time, he could be heard giving orders efficiently. Occasionally, while waiting, he would complain that it was too troublesome to contact.
"There are two ways. First, reduce the energy of the zombies. I can try to give you a small amount of things that can reduce the energy of zombies, but the effect cannot be guaranteed." Zhuang Mobai didn't wait for an answer. He was furious, but he couldn't resist.
He looked at Lu Weiyi, "You know, that kind of thing we studied before has always been effective against the crystal cores of psychics, but his case is special. His crystal core is similar to that of ordinary thermal psychics, but the energy of his whole body is balanced. No one can predict what will happen in this situation."
"Secondly, it is to increase the supernatural energy in his body. As for this..." Zhuang Mobai looked at a sealed glass cup on the test bench. It was the remaining snow water that Lu Weiyi had given him before. "How about we try that? But this thing has never been tested on humans..."
"It has been tested," Lu Weiyi interrupted him.
Zhuang Mobai looked over in surprise, "What happened?"
"I used it on two people who were bitten by zombies. One of them awakened his superpowers, and the other one's transformation into zombies was accelerated." The one who awakened was Xu Sa.
"One to one success rate" Zhuang Mobai said with a little regret, "If it were me, I would definitely record the values in all aspects. For now, there is no experimental data to support these two methods, so I can't give the possible consequences."
"What do you say?" Lu Weiyi looked at Cheng Chuan.
Cheng Chuan pondered for a while, and after asking Zhuang Mobai in detail, he asked, "Can I consider it?"
"Okay." Lu Weiyi thought for a moment and took out a heavenly punishment circle from the space, "I can't gamble with the lives of the people in the base."
Cheng Chuan looked at it for a long time before taking it. He didn't put it on right away. The two of them walked upstairs. He fumbled with the thing in his hand that looked like a dog collar, feeling humiliated and helpless. "Will you let me be a test subject in the future?"
"I will try my best to make you an experimental subject with personality." Cheng Chuan's situation is too special, and Lu Weiyi cannot promise him that he will never study him. After all, Zhuang Mobai is right, this may be the hope of mankind.
"Tsk, what's the difference?" Cheng Chuan sneered.
"Yes," Lu Weiyi turned to look at him, "In my eyes, you are still a human being, you have a lover, and you have concerns."
"This is the backbone that supports you to live, but it is also the weak spot that can make you collapse."
Cheng Chuan tightened his grip, his brows full of anger, "You are threatening me with Xia Qiao."
"It's not a threat, just a guarantee for your cooperation," Lu Weiyi did not deny, "Of course, if you don't want to, you can take him away while the base is busy with you."
"But you have to be prepared. If you fall into the hands of others, what will you face?"
"Moreover, Xia Qiao is an ordinary person" and is more vulnerable, so he will face more dangers.
Lu Weiyi feels that he is not a kind person, but he is a person with a bottom line. Such a person may be indecisive and not decisive enough, and may lose more at critical moments because he does not know how to give up, but he has a clear conscience every step he takes.
For those who survive the apocalypse, their conscience is falling every day. The environment will refresh their cognition over and over again, causing them to abandon their civilized selves and gradually turn into human devils.
Lu Weiyi feels that he will not do that now. He knows clearly what is more important in his heart, so those things he gives up are slightly unimportant. No matter how valuable they are to the world, it doesn’t matter to him, and that is enough.
Cheng Chuan didn't say anything else. The two of them walked up to the first floor, and immediately they heard the baby's heart-wrenching cry.
Sounds like Qin Nian.
"I'll go take a look." Lu Weiyi paused, turned around and left.
After the temperature dropped, Qin Nian was too young, so Yin Jin took him back to the laboratory.
At this time, the child who usually blew bubbles adorably was crying uncontrollably, with big tears falling continuously. Yin Jin hugged him in panic and patted him to comfort him, but it was no use. Li Wenliang hurried over to ask what was going on.
"I don't know. He has been spitting up milk since this morning and he looks listless. I measured his temperature and it was normal. But he suddenly started crying just now." Yin Jin tried his best to remain calm and explained the situation to the doctor at a very fast speed.
Li Wenliang held him in his arms and examined him with a stethoscope. The child cried heartbreakingly.
When Lu Weiyi approached, he struggled and waved in Lu Weiyi's direction.
"Base Commander" Li Wenliang greets Lu Weiyi.
Lu Weiyi nodded, walked forward and picked up Qin Nian. The little boy hugged his neck with both arms and sobbed.
Lu Weiyi swept his mental power over the child, frowned, and removed the metal ring from his neck. The moment he let go, chaotic mental power instantly blasted out from the child's body, and invisible tendrils lashed at the surroundings, as if the whole room had been swept through.
"It's a low fever," Li Wenliang said, looking at the value measured by the electronic thermometer. "We can use physical cooling methods first."
"Okay, go prepare it, and bring some alcohol as well." Nowadays, there are not so many tests that can determine the specific cause of a child's fever, but people with special abilities have very good physical constitutions and can recover quickly from illness.
