Chapter 358
The Black Panther is known for its intelligence and can understand what those two-legged sheep are saying, but it is no match for the boss. Yes, the boss is Three-Tailed. However, it has to maintain its position as the number one younger brother beside the boss and set a good example for other beasts, so it is very brave when killing zombies and appears a little cruel.
With a loud swish, a zombie was torn apart by the black panther, and with another swish, the arm of a zombie was torn off by the black panther, and then with another claw, the head was torn apart. Yuan Jing had already told these strange beasts through Sanwei that zombies can only be killed with claws and bodies, and cannot be killed with mouths. If a bite is given, a virus will be transmitted, and who knows if the zombie will be transformed into a zombie.
After training for a while, these strange beasts also accepted the new way of fighting. They had to accept it, or they would be taught a lesson by the Three-Tailed Boss. The Three-Tailed Boss's imposing manner alone was enough to make them lie on the ground and tremble in fear.
With the cooperation of both inside and outside, it took half a day to clear out the zombies. The survivors in the university town couldn't believe that all the zombies were solved. Many people hid in their houses and didn't even dare to go out. Although the campus was filled with the fishy and unpleasant smell of zombies, everyone came out and felt much better.
Representatives of students and teachers came to talk to Yuan Jing and his team. The team that came was obviously much stronger than them. They worked hard to kill the zombies not just to save the survivors, so what were they going to do? How were they going to treat these students and teachers?
Ling Shaoyang had taken out the plan on the way, and after printing it out, he gave a copy to whoever came, and posted it in public places in the school. The first item listed on the paper was that the university town here was taken over by the Hope Mercenaries, and they would establish the Hope Base here. The survivors in the area could choose to join the Hope Base or leave on their own, but after joining the base, they had to obey the arrangements of the base, and the base would not support them for nothing.
"President Lin, what's going on? What did they say?" Lin Mian, the former president of the Student Union, was surrounded by people as soon as he came back. They all asked him about the results of his search for those people.
Lin Mian knew that everyone might not be satisfied with the result. Some people were too timid and had not dared to go out to kill zombies until now. However, because the food found was enough, it was distributed per person in the past few days. But from today on, these days of having food and drink would be over.
"I brought some flyers with me. You can do whatever you want. They are going to build a Hope Base here. From now on, our place will be taken over by their Hope Base."
"What? This is too overbearing. Why should they take over and ask us to listen to them? If we want to build it, we should build it ourselves. This is our territory."
"Yes, President Lin, you shouldn't give in so easily. We should fight with them for the rights we deserve."
Lin Mian shook his head. "You guys can decide what to do. I want to apply for a management position there later. They are in need of people. The zombies in the school have been cleared out now. You don't have to worry about not being able to get out. You might as well find a job so you can support yourself in the future."
Lin Mian tried to persuade them a few times, and some students wanted to keep him, but he shook his head and turned to leave, and the crowd behind him exploded.
Now that they can still receive information from the outside world, Lin Mian knows that it is only a matter of time before their university town is taken over by outsiders. Their combat effectiveness is too weak, and they can barely protect themselves. How can they build a strong survivor base?
Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. This saying actually makes a lot of sense, especially in such a doomsday world where order has collapsed. Want to protest? Others can just use force to intimidate them. In his opinion, it is a complete waste of time to fight for power through protest. It is better to make yourself useful and have a seat in this Hope Base in the future. He actually hopes that this Hope Base can live up to its name.
Some people chased out. They had the same idea as Lin Mian, accepting the reality. It was unrealistic to use moral blackmail because these people were not the country's army, and even other safe bases would not feed the survivors inside for free.
Yuan Jing and Ling Shaoyang didn’t care what those students thought. After all, it was not them but those students who would give up first. After being beaten by society, they would know the reality.
By absorbing some personnel from the university town and adding management personnel discovered along the way, the Hope Base began construction in a vigorous manner.
Ling Shaoyang was mainly in charge of the construction work, while Yuan Jing designated one of the hills as the activity area for the exotic beasts, settled them down, asked Sanwei and Black Panther to take care of these guys, and then devoted himself to the transformation and research of the laboratory. He needed to produce some results as soon as possible.
It is also easy to find research assistants in the laboratory because this is a university town and it is much easier to find useful talents than in other places.
The laboratory is at the foot of the mountain, so behind the laboratory is the area where the strange beasts are active, which makes everyone who comes to the laboratory tremble with fear. When they see them, Yuan Jing takes out an agreement on the spot. If you want to join his research team, you need to sign the agreement.
"Let us all follow your arrangements?" One of the professors asked in surprise and looked at Yuan Jing seriously, wanting to see if he was joking. Judging from his young appearance, he might not even be able to recognize all the instruments in the laboratory. How could he read the data?
"Yes, we have taken over this place completely. Naturally, the lab has to follow my instructions. If you don't want to, you can take the lead and go to other labs to apply for research funds from the base. However, special times require special treatment. If you can't produce results within the specified time, you can only leave."
One of the middle-aged men wearing glasses looked at Yuan Jing, not knowing where he got the confidence from. He asked, "Excuse me, what is the research you are leading?"
Yuan Jing thought for a moment and said, "The first step is to research the antidote, and the second step is to research the vaccine."
"Nonsense!" The oldest professor blew his beard and glared, "We have already started research, but any one of them will take up a lot of time and energy. Which school did you graduate from? What results have you produced before? What papers have you published?"
"I don't need to prove anything to you. I just need people to listen to me. Those who disagree can leave." Yuan Jing is so tough.
The professor wanted to say something, but then he heard the roar of a strange beast from behind. The professor's face turned pale and he could only turn around and leave with a gloomy face.
The middle-aged man with glasses stayed. He was curious about where Yuan Jing got the confidence to lead these studies. He did not rashly think that he was fooling around. He was right. Those who disagreed could leave and apply to the laboratory to conduct research.
Only a few stayed behind. After reading the agreement with harsh terms, a few more left. Less than ten people were left. They all signed the agreement reluctantly because from today on, they had to work to eat. Staying here at least meant they had a proper job. I heard that this man named Yuan Jing was one of the two leaders of the Hope Base, and he was a husband to the other one.
Seeing them sign the agreement, Yuan Jing was very satisfied. Of course, this was only on the surface. Privately, he would use other means to ensure the loyalty of these people. After all, what he brought out was too amazing.
When Yuan Jing took out the antidote from the exchange system through Xiao Wu, everyone in the laboratory was shocked. There was already a ready-made antidote? Where did it come from?
"I can't tell you where this antidote came from. What we need to do is first verify its effectiveness, and second, crack its formula. The sooner we complete it, the more lives we can save."
The middle-aged man with glasses was named Liu. At this time, he looked at Yuan Jing with a different look. No wonder he had to sign such a strict agreement. If he revealed that he had the antidote, it would definitely attract many covetous people. I hope the base will not have a peaceful day.
Of course they have news from the outside world. Now everyone is helpless against this zombie virus.
The laboratory started to operate rapidly, and the abilities displayed by Yuan Jing surprised them again. It seemed that there was nothing he didn't know. He could do the work of more than ten or eight people. Even Dr. Liu felt that he could not keep up with Yuan Jing's speed.
In addition to this antidote, Yuan Jing also researched other methods to target the zombie virus, and did not place all his hopes on the antidote produced by the exchange system of unknown origin and perverse values.
Half a month later, the antidote had not yet been cracked, but Yuan Jing used his own methods to make a potion that could restrain the zombie virus. He combined the potion knowledge of the future interstellar with the elixir knowledge of the cultivation world, and also used several spiritual herbs in the space and spiritual spring water.
Everyone became excited when they saw the little white mice in the laboratory, whose wounds had just been infected with the zombie virus after being injected with the drug, turned their previously black skin red and the blood flowing out also turned from black to red.
Dr. Liu said excitedly: "This is really effective and can really kill the zombie virus. Mr. Yuan, you succeeded!"
Yuan Jing said calmly: "This is just the first step. We cannot promote this antidote on a large scale at the moment. We need to find a replacement as soon as possible."
Dr. Liu calmed down a little. He didn't know where the plants Yuan Jing took out came from. The more he got along with him, the more he felt that he was full of secrets. Sometimes he even thought that maybe Yuan Jing was not from Earth, but came from an alien planet just to save the Earth from the apocalyptic crisis and save mankind.
"Yes, we will definitely be able to find alternative herbs."
Before a substitute was found, Antidote No. 1 from the laboratory began to be released in limited quantities. Yuan Jing of course left the distribution issue entirely to Ling Shaoyang. At the same time, the mercenary team sent out continued to send the collected herbal plants to their laboratory.
