Guan Zining has recovered very well. Except for not being able to do strenuous exercise, he has no problem doing normal activities.
Su Tao half lifted her clothes and looked at her belly. There was no trace of anything, and she didn't look like someone who had been disemboweled at all.
Even the original abdominal muscles are still there.
But Su Tao still touched it again and again worriedly.
Guan Zining waved her little hand away:
"Stop touching me. I'm really fine. Doctor Zhong, can I leave now? The organization needs me."
Su Tao, Zhong Gaoyi, and Chen Xi all said at the same time: "No!"
Guan Zining stared.
Zhong Gaoyi said earnestly:
"Although you look fine, your internal organs haven't healed yet. I'll need to treat you again tomorrow. If you don't believe me, try running a marathon right now. After you're done, your intestines will fall out of your anus."
Guan Zining: “.” I was scared.
Su Tao also felt her scalp tingling after hearing this. She comforted her a few words and promised that if she was bored in the next two days, she could take her to her shooting range to touch guns and burn off some energy.
Guan Zining put on his coat, put on his gun and was about to leave.
The two spent the entire morning in the shooting range and wasted a lot of bullets.
Guan Zining put down his gun and looked Su Tao up and down in surprise:
"How did you train? Your accuracy is even higher than mine, and I've been training in the team for over ten years."
Su Tao shrugged: "Talent, I guess."
Secretly, she didn't want to reveal the fact that she was going to awaken her superpowers.
Because the external explanation is that her special ability is construction, everything in Taoyang is built by her special ability, and everyone believes this.
If everyone knew that she had other special abilities, it would likely expose the existence of the system.
Guan Zining didn't believe it, but didn't ask any further questions.
Who doesn't have some secrets these days?
The two competed again, and Su Tao won again.
Guan Zining threw the gun away and said, "I admit defeat. I'm not going to compete anymore. Let's go eat."
As soon as the two finished their meal, Pei Dong drove over to pick up Guan Zining himself.
Guan Zining cheered up and got into the car without thinking, with a look on his face that said, "The organization needs me, I'm proud, I'm honored."
Su Tao asked: "What happened? Zining hasn't recovered yet."
Guan Zining said stubbornly: "I'm fine now."
Pei Dong said, "He Kang's research team wants to meet her and ask some questions about reptiles. They also need to borrow someone from you, the one who gave us the immersive reenactment last time. If it's convenient, please bring him along. We'll be waiting for you here."
Su Tao said it was no problem.
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Qi, who was packing up his new house after moving, came jogging over. They got in the car and headed for Dongyang Research Institute.
On the way, Su Tao asked him if he was used to living in Taoyang.
Xu Qi sighed, "This is much better than the house we lived in before. The furniture is all new. My wife always complains about how useless I was in the past few years. After all this time, I still have to live in a dilapidated house. Why didn't I come to Taoyang earlier?"
Su Tao laughed: "Moving has caused you marital conflicts."
Xu Qi laughed: "A happy contradiction."
The car stopped while we were chatting.
The group passed through a series of security gates, went through two security checks, and successfully arrived at the laboratory.
Shen Wencheng and several doctoral students from Dongyang Research Institute were waiting. After they met and introduced themselves, they went to the sample room.
Dr. Chang Jiao from the research institute said as he led the way:
"We found something in the ruins of the collapsed city wall in the floating area. We suspect it might be the body tissue of a reptile. Since only Adjutant Guan has seen a reptile, we'd like to ask her to identify it."
Chen Wencheng turned to look at Su Tao, exchanged a few simple greetings, and then said:
"Boss Su, if it's convenient, could Mr. Xu recreate the scene so we can have a more intuitive understanding of the reptile?"
Su Tao nodded.
As he spoke, Dr. Jiao opened another door and led everyone to the sample room.
The sample room was filled with cold blue light. There were dozens of samples along the wall, and the light blue liquid contained various parts of different zombies.
Su Tao even saw the giant limbs of the blood sickle.
Guan Zining was immediately attracted by one of the samples. He ran over in three or two steps and looked inside through the glass.
Before Dr. Jiao and Shen Wencheng could ask, Guan Zining said with a grim expression:
"It's the barb on that beast's tail!"
Upon hearing this, several researchers nearby immediately started writing down the information.
Shen Wencheng pressed the issue, "Does it have any other characteristics?"
Guan Zining thought about it and described in detail the feeling of touching the reptile.
Xu Qi also recreated the scene at the appropriate time.
Everyone was sweating coldly on their backs.
Dr. Jiao frowned and said:
"From the DNA we've extracted and compared, we know that the reptile is also a type of zombie. It has a strong regenerative ability. I'm afraid that not only its tail can be regenerated, but also its limbs and even its head. At present, we can't find its weaknesses, and we can't tell whether it is an evolved zombie or an intelligent mutant like the Bone Wing."
Shen Wencheng pushed up his glasses and said:
"Yes, if there is a living organism, we might be able to crack it and find its weakness and a way to kill it."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone fell silent.
This requires them to take the risk of catching a live one for research!
If they really want to catch someone, they definitely won't look for a researcher who is powerless.
At that time, the ones who would do the hard work and shed blood might be the city defense troops, or more likely the pioneer troops with rich combat experience.
Pei Dong's face looked a little unhappy, but he didn't say a word.
Guan Zining couldn't help but sprayed back on the spot:
"You're all talking nonsense! This thing is impossible to kill, it's so fast, and its weakness is unknown. Whoever gets in its way will die."
Dr. Jiao's face turned red and he dared not say a word.
Chen Wencheng remained calm and said, "If we can find the weakness of the reptiles, sacrificing some people to save more people is understandable."
Pei Dong said: "I will talk to the old leader about this matter and let him make the decision."
Shen Wencheng nodded: "Old Chief Xing will take the overall situation into consideration."
Su Tao felt something was wrong, and sure enough, that night she heard Guan Zining say that the old leader had decided to give the task of capturing the living person to Shi Zijin.
Guan Zining's chest heaved as he said:
"When I heard that, I felt that this burden would eventually fall on Major General Shi. It was him who killed the first Blood Scythe, it was him who resisted the Bone Wing that escaped, and now it's him again."
Guan Zining scratched his head irritably:
"But there was no one else who could do this except him. When the old commander sent someone to ask him if he was willing, he accepted the order without a second thought."
Su Tao leaned quietly against the door of the clinic.
She looked out the window at the quiet moonlight in Taoyang.
She can allow many people to live and work in peace and contentment, be happy and content, and escape the hardships of the end of the world, but she cannot bring them peace and security, free them from responsibilities and burdens, and break free from the shackles of the end of the world.
