Chapter 778 Zombie Antidote
"You think about a lot of things."
I said, "It's alright. I just feel that these things are bound to happen. If we don't do it, someone else will definitely do it, so why don't we do it ourselves?"
Xu Le said, "But you should understand that there is a lot of resistance to doing this. Just the fact that our two sides have established contact and reached an agreement is probably not a simple matter. You just said that you represent Hangzhou, but what about the delta region? Don't forget that there is a delta between Hangzhou and the dam."
Thinking about the troubles in the Delta, I didn't know how to explain it. I could only say, "Don't worry about that. As long as we can reach a cooperation agreement and form an alliance, the Delta will not be a problem."
Xu Le said, "I can't answer you about the alliance right now because I don't know if what you said is true or false, or whether Hangzhou is really under your control. So, until everything is confirmed, I can only ask you to stay here for now. I think if you really want to form an alliance with us, you wouldn't be in a hurry to leave the dam."
I had already anticipated this. If I can't leave, I can't leave. Anyway, I can eat and drink well here and don't have to think about those troublesome things. Why not?
I'm not entirely sure what the situation is in the Delta region right now. Whatever Pu Weichao's schemes may be, a major war is bound to break out in the Delta region. But I don't want this war to happen. After all, once a war breaks out, people will always die, and it's really unnecessary.
I said, "If you want to send someone to Hangzhou, you'd better hurry. Although there's nothing wrong with me staying here, I'm not used to it."
Xu Le paused for a moment, then smiled meaningfully and turned to look down at the dam. "Don't worry, I'll send someone to Hangzhou soon. I'll have someone go in your name. But Hangzhou is so far from here, I estimate it will take at least three or four days to get back."
"Yes, I can accept three or four days."
Regardless of whether Xu Le's words are true or false, I can only wait here for news and hope that he will really send someone over. If he is just trying to appease me, there is really no need for him to do so.
The scenery on the dam was indeed beautiful. Besides the two of us, there were quite a few other people on the dam, and even on the distant mountains, many were digging pits. They probably wanted to be self-sufficient, which is understandable, since most of the resources available outside have been exhausted, and finding more is very difficult. Although there are many zombies now, there are actually quite a few survivors, and those who have survived are generally not easy to deal with.
When I got back to the middle of the dam, it was already 1 p.m. When I returned to the infirmary, they all asked me what my relationship was with Zhu Xiaobing. I was too lazy to pay attention to them and just gave them a few perfunctory answers.
Not long after, several wounded soldiers were brought in.
All of them are external injuries, and they look like they were bitten by zombies.
"What happened? Were you bitten by a zombie?" I asked.
"Yes, I was bitten by a zombie."
My brow furrowed. This meant amputation was necessary; otherwise, someone would die.
But just as I was about to speak to amputate his limb, the doctor next to me took a syringe filled with blue liquid from the freezer, injected it directly into the person's arm, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, you can handle it now."
I was taken aback for a moment, then asked, "No need for amputation?"
Everyone was stunned, staring at me like I was a monster. I felt a little creeped out by their stares and had no idea what to do.
"Um, what's wrong? Did I say something wrong?"
The person who just patted me said, "You're new here, so you don't know, but it's okay to tell you. What I just gave him was a zombie antidote, which can perfectly suppress the zombie virus in his body. However, this antidote can only be given after being bitten by a zombie, otherwise it won't be effective."
I exclaimed in shock, "The zombie 'cure'!"
I stared at the freezer in disbelief. So, this freezer was full of zombie antidotes? But how did they get zombie antidotes? Did they develop them themselves? Or are these antidotes connected to that mysterious research institute?
After all, Wu Shuang, Zhang Jianzhou, and Zhou Liang had all been to the mysterious research institute before, and their zombie bites had all healed. Now, this dam has actually produced a zombie antidote, which makes me wonder if this dam is related to the mysterious research institute.
If there really is a connection, this is a huge deal!
But this is very unusual. Pu Weichao was convinced that the mysterious research institute was located in Hangzhou, but if it were in Daba, that would be too far off.
There's definitely something fishy about this; we can only take it one step at a time.
Convincing myself of my shock, I treated the other person's wound, bandaged it, and once it was all done, the other person left.
I invited a friend to go and ask Xu Le for clarification, but halfway there I realized that going there to ask right away would be too much of a hassle. What if Xu Le didn't answer me? Wouldn't that be a real dilemma? So I decided to take it slow. There was still time, so I decided to figure this out first.
Yes, let's find out about Xu Le's attack on the dam first, and then go find him.
My mind is a bit of a mess right now. I went back to my room, closed the door, and started thinking about the situation.
If the dam is indeed that mysterious research institute, then there's no need to dwell on this matter.
Forget it, forget it. Let's deal with the Delta issue first. We haven't even settled things over there yet, and we're already thinking about solving the situation here. Isn't that just wishful thinking?
I came out of the room again and went back to the infirmary, where I continued to sit there, bored and lost in thought.
During that time, Zhu Xiaobing came to see me and asked me what my girlfriend's name was. This puzzled me for a while. Later, she told me that Xu Le asked her to go to Hangzhou, and that's when I realized why she suddenly came to ask me what my girlfriend's name was.
After I told Zhu Xiaobing Wu Shuang's name and her exact location, she left.
I was still a little scared of this violent woman. After all, she had attacked me without warning before, and I was already a bit afraid of her beatings.
Around 5 p.m., it was time to change shifts. I left the infirmary and was about to go to the cafeteria for lunch when I heard someone call my name from behind. The voice sounded very familiar.
"Lu Xiaonan?"
I turned my head and saw someone I never expected. To be honest, I really didn't expect her to be here. After she left, I thought I would never see her again.
