Chapter 534: Zombie Experiment
"Captain Zhuang..."
"Dean Zhuo, your assistant complained that the base was not cooperating with the experiment. Is this your intention or his personal wish?" Zhuang Mingxu interrupted Zhuo Shu's polite words.
"This..." Zhuo Shu with gray hair glanced at Ding Han. She had indeed said privately several times that too few samples would affect the progress of the experiment, but she really didn't expect Ding Han to bring it up at this time, especially in front of the members who came from the Kyoto base.
Maybe... this is an opportunity.
These scientific researchers could not defy Yuebanwan's tyranny, but with the presence of people from the Kyoto base, they could always force them to compromise.
After Zhuo Shu figured it out, his expression was calm, "It is indeed very influential, Director Zhuang, I suggest that you hand Cheng Chuan over to us and fully cooperate with our experiment."
"What do I need you to cooperate with? It seems that you have all had your organs sliced and taken away, is there anything else you need?" Zhuang Mingxu asked in a very friendly manner.
Seeing that he had no intention of getting angry, several researchers immediately took a step forward, their eyes filled with fanaticism, "I think his crystal core might hold the secret of energy coexistence."
"You want his crystal core, what about you?" Zhuang Mingxu looked at the other one beside him.
"I think the living organism is the key."
"And you?"
"I think the source of the potion is not the zombies, but the healing psychics. After all, I've never heard of healing psychics being infected by zombies, and their bodies have powerful repair functions. So can we use the zombies' energy on them?"
“…”
As soon as this suggestion was made, there was a sudden silence around.
Healing psychics can now be said to be the foundation of a team's strength. There are few of them, they are difficult to upgrade, and their survival rate is not high. Which team would not do its best to protect them?
Now, someone is targeting those with healing abilities?
Who would be willing to be this person?
Several people at the Kyoto base looked at each other, and finally looked at Zhuang Mingxu.
After all, the research institute is now in Yueban Bay, and they had promised at the beginning that they would do their best to ensure the supply of instruments, materials and test items.
When Zhuang Mingxu heard this, the smile on his face became even wider. He glanced at the professors and scholars who used to be so aloof that they almost raised their chins, and stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.
"We didn't know that the things you needed were in such short supply. It was our fault on Yuebanwan's part." Zhuang Mingxu looked at Sun Haicheng, "President Sun, please ask everyone to stop what they are doing and hold a meeting at the Joint Research Institute. We can solicit everyone's opinions and vote on the two issues just raised."
"You're talking about the half-corpse and..."
"A healing psychic?"
Someone asked in disbelief.
"Of course," Zhuang Mingxu said in a very easy-to-talk-to manner.
Not only a few researchers were surprised, but even Zheng Yi's entourage were a little surprised. Not to mention the half-corpse, just asking the healing department to cooperate with these people was enough to be unexpected.
Moreover, after listening to the requests of these people just now, we know that some means are indispensable for the real experiment. There are a total of two healing psychics in Yueban Bay. Can you really be willing to send one here?
Several people from Kyoto looked at Zhuang Mingxu and asked Zheng Yi silently, but several people who were receiving Zhuang Mingxu came out to stop them.
"Captain Zhuang, both healing departments are affiliated with the base army. Do you think we need to wait for Captain Lu to come back before making a decision?"
A psychic from the military said tactfully.
"Let's hold a meeting and vote first," said Zhuang Mingxu.
The few people who followed Zhuang Mingxu looked at each other and said nothing more. After all, Lu Weiyi was not there now and the entire base was under the control of Zhuang Mingxu. It would be unwise to say anything at this time. They decided to mention it to Ning Yuan later, maybe there would be a turnaround.
"Director Zhuang, the experimental progress of our various institutes is very normal. This meeting is totally unnecessary." Sun Haicheng was the first resident to enter Yueban Bay. He came here after the establishment of the institute. He is considered an old employee and was promoted to this position by Zhuang Mingxu. Naturally, he knows what kind of person Zhuang Mingxu is.
He had already tried to dissuade these people from the moment they started arguing. When he heard Zhuang Mingxu say this, he looked anxious and tried to stop them.
"Dean Sun, if you don't participate in the specific experiments, how can you know what we need?"
"That's right. Normally, we respect you because you are the dean, but when it comes to experiments, it's better for you to stay less involved. After all, these professional things still need to be evaluated by more professional people."
Without anyone saying anything, a few researchers were enough to make Sun Haicheng speechless and he could only worry.
"Director Zhuang, they are just..." Sun Haicheng knew that he could not convince these scholars who were only focused on research, so he could only look at Zhuang Mingxu.
"President Sun!" Zhuang Mingxu's tone was flat and there was even a smile on his face.
Sun Haicheng's next words were stuck in his mouth. He didn't say another word. After a long while, he said tremblingly, "...they...they are all...the pillars of the country..."
Pillar of the country!
Those who can contribute to the country are called pillars of the country.
However, since the establishment of the joint research institute, it has never made any contribution to Yuebanwan. The only two breakthroughs were based on Zhuang Mobai's research.
Sun Haicheng's anxiety did not affect others. They talked in low voices and asked the accompanying assistants to find people from each hospital.
Zhuang Mingxu's eyes flashed cold for a moment, he tapped his phone to send a few text messages, then looked away.
"You will preside over the meeting later and report the results," Zhuang Mingxu said to Sun Haicheng, and prepared to take Zheng Yi to other places to have a look.
"Director Zhuang, our laboratory is a joint laboratory formed by various bases. Kyoto Base also has the right to know the progress of the project. Since Major General Zheng happened to meet here, can he also attend the meeting as a witness?" An old man in his sixties suddenly spoke up.
This is Dean Liang Ping from the School of Chemistry.
"Major General Zheng, do you have time?"
"This... hehe..." Zheng Yi looked at Zhuang Mingxu with a smile, "I originally came here on behalf of the Kyoto base to check on the experimental progress of the Joint Research Institute. Naturally, I have time, that is..."
He turned to look at Zhuang Mingxu and asked, "Is it convenient?"
Zhuang Mingxu then lowered his eyes to block the coldness in his vision and said, "What's the inconvenience about this?"
"We will go to the conference room together in half an hour, you guys discuss it first." Zhuang Mingxu randomly pointed to someone he knew and asked him to be the team leader, and continued to introduce the laboratories and related experimental progress along the way.
On the other side of the transparent glass, you can see all kinds of experimental subjects, from zombies of different levels to mutated animals, and even imprisoned people with special abilities.
They are either free or tied to the experimental beds, using their bodies as a breeding ground for every idea of these researchers.
Zheng Yi and his team were not interested in the professional terms that kept coming out of the guide's mouth. To them, the result was the most important thing.
"I want to know what can be put into use and achieve results nowadays?" Zheng Yi interrupted the guide's chattering.
“…” The guide said, “Not yet.”
Zheng Yi: “…”
"The Joint Research Institute has been established for so long, with over a thousand researchers from all walks of life, but you're only studying zombie energy, and you still have no idea?" Zheng Yi thought of their living area when he came here, which was as comfortable as a well-protected ivory tower. Suddenly, he felt that his investment was not worth it.
Fortunately, he was clear about his position. After all, apart from the people, most of the rest of the Kyoto base was provided by Yueban Bay, so the sunk cost was not high.
"Heh," Zhuang Mingxu chuckled, "Let's go and see what our researchers need."
There was no point in continuing the tour, but Zheng Yi was very interested in something else. "Lao Zhuang, can we meet the half-corpse in your base?"
"That won't do. These precious people are strictly protected." When the guide brought up the topic, Zhuang Mingxu knew that the matter might have been passed on to the Kyoto base, and there was no point in hiding it.
"After being infected by zombies, he still has his own consciousness?"
"Do you have any memories? Does it affect your life?"
"Isn't he a little dangerous?"
Seeing Zheng Yi asking, those who were interested immediately started asking as well.
"Which psychic who goes out dares to say that he has never been infected by zombie energy?" Zhuang Mingxu's words shut up all the psychics present. "It's just that the zombie energy was not completely cleared away, so an accident happened. He looks not much different from a human."
As they were talking, the group arrived at the door of the large conference room, which was already crowded with people in white coats. Sun Haicheng, who was standing at the door, had his brows tightly furrowed and was still communicating with the deans of several other colleges.
"He has already given us everything he can give us. You haven't studied these things thoroughly yet, but you are still thinking about other things. Don't you understand that you can't chew too much when you bite off more than you can chew?"
"Didn't you say you were afraid that the anesthesia would affect the ingredients, so you cut open the body alive to take out the internal organs?"
"He's still alive, conscious, and human. What are you doing?"
Sun Haicheng was out of breath by the end of his speech, but no one around him compromised.
"He is the only special one. This is a glimmer of hope that fate has left us. President Sun, in the past five years, how many people with special abilities have been infected by zombie energy and turned into zombies every day, and how many ordinary people have lost their lives. This is an opportunity for mankind."
"Yes, if we study it thoroughly, we will be able to create a way to resist the zombie virus. Isn't this what you want to see? This is the only way out for ordinary people like us."
"To exchange one person's life for the life of all mankind, anyone would know how to make the choice. I believe that as a soldier, he would be willing to sacrifice his life for the people he protects."
The endless words completely elevated Cheng Chuan to another level, as if anyone who was unwilling was a sinner of humanity. Looking at those faces, Sun Haicheng suddenly felt a little powerless.
