After the event ended, Song Wenwen caught up with Ye Shang and asked, "Captain Ye, how long are we going to be gone this time?"
Ye Shang thought for a moment and said, "It shouldn't take too long."
I don't know how much intelligence those zombies have. If they don't have brains, they can be wiped out directly, which would naturally shorten the time.
Song Wenwen continued, "Captain Ye, where are you planning to go now?"
Ye Shang then stopped and looked at her: "Just say what you want to say, there's no need to keep asking other questions."
Song Wenwen hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ye Shang and said, "Captain Ye, actually, it's like this. You weren't there when Qingye and I got engaged, so we were thinking of inviting you and Chief Qing to dinner..."
Ye Shang thought for a moment, "This afternoon is fine."
Song Wenwen smiled and said with a radiant smile, "Then, Captain Ye, I'll go back and prepare now. Remember to come over at six o'clock this afternoon."
Ye Shang nodded gently.
On the way to the South District, Ye Shang thought back to the days when he escaped from City E to City A. Back then, Xie Qingye was like a strategist. However, after they found their parents, they moved away from the Fifth Base.
This is only natural, but those former teammates never returned to the Fifth Base after going to the First Base, except for necessary missions.
Aside from Jiang Lecheng and Yang Jinxia, who still live at the Fifth Base, Ye Shang sees them often, but they have their own lives and missions, so he doesn't ask them too many questions.
In the quantum computer, people only speak when there is something to discuss.
She didn't care. In her life, she would experience many separations and deaths, and not everyone had to stay together forever.
Even now, the same applies to Qingli; perhaps one day they will be separated due to some unavoidable factor...
Thinking of this, Ye Shang felt a little down. Separation from Qing Li was something she had never thought about, and even now, she still didn't believe that Qing Li would leave her.
Unless... Ye Shang looked up at the sky with a somewhat unfriendly gaze.
Forget about that for now. She has her own office in the South District management office, but she rarely goes there. She just sits there all day in a daze. She might as well go out for a walk or just go into seclusion.
In the entire southern area, besides the residences of the base's management, there is also a building that serves as everyone's office space.
The other side, which is mostly occupied by the research center.
The research center is crucial to the development of the entire base, and it occupies a very large area in the southern district.
The experimental land and fields that were later expanded were also located there.
Regardless of the base, the South District is always the most important location. The reason it was built this way is to let everyone know that this place should not be entered casually.
Only those who live and work there are eligible.
Ye Shang's house is the best one in the South District. He originally planned to stay there for a while and then return to the North District's superhuman area, but Qing Li has to go to work and has to go to the South District office building every day.
Shen Qian could occasionally find a good job in the South District, so she simply decided not to move.
After thinking for a moment, Ye Shang did not continue towards the office building, but instead went to the research center. She wanted to see how far the research had progressed.
The process was smooth and unimpeded. Not only did Ye Shang need to enter with her fingerprint, but she also needed to have her iris scanned. These procedures were usually handled by Song Wennuan or Qingli. Ye Shang rarely came to these places, but the necessary procedures still had to be followed, as Qingli had said.
Ye Shang walked towards the experimental area inside, looking at the scene inside through the thick, transparent glass door.
Each glass room contains an experimental area, where you can decide what you're researching.
As you slowly approach, after walking a few meters, you see a zombie with its belly cut open inside one of the glass doors.
Ye Shang stood there, looking at the zombie with some thought. It seemed that the research center did not distinguish between different species when it came to studying things.
Along the way, there have been studies on machinery, such as robots, as well as biomimetic nanoskin and mechanized manufacturing.
There's research on farmland, food, and vegetables; here, there's also research on zombies.
Ye Shang stood there for a long time, and it seemed that someone inside had seen someone standing outside.
These research sites are all some distance apart, and almost anyone who isn't from this department comes here.
Despite being made of transparent glass, the reason why these items can be placed directly outside is to make it easier for leaders outside to come and check on them from time to time.
The core technology is actually controlled by each individual. There is an even larger research lab inside, with samples displayed outside to indicate what type or kind of research this department is conducting.
A young man came out and said directly, "Captain Ye, would you like to go in and take a look?"
At the base, some people might not recognize Qingli and the others, but most people would recognize and be familiar with Ye Shang.
The reason is that she always wears a black robe, like an ancient person, regardless of whether it is convenient for her to move around.
Such attire is rare across all bases; in fact, aside from Ye Shang, no one else wears it.
So wherever she goes, people only need to see her outfit to know who she is.
Ye Shang thought for a moment and nodded: "Please introduce your research project to me."
The young man's name is Luo Jin. He chose genetics as his major when he was in school. After the apocalypse, he awakened a core skill that was helpful to his major, which is why he was directly assigned to be in charge of researching zombie genes.
As Luo Jin introduced the body to Ye Shang, he said, "Team Leader Ye, this is the 178th zombie corpse we have dissected so far. We have tried dissecting live zombies before, but the risk factor was too high, so we haven't tried it too much."
Looking at the dismembered zombie, Ye Shang was reminded for some reason of a certain kind of research.
She asked casually, "Does the base conduct research on living people or people with superpowers?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Jin nodded, "Yes, but Chief Qing said that this kind of research can only be carried out when there is material available, and it is impossible at other times."
Ye Shang asked: "Material?"
Luo Jin continued, "For example, in the post-apocalyptic world, some humans live in bases and commit capital crimes. It would be a waste to kill them directly, so it would be better to use them for research."
To commit a capital offense under the revised laws of the post-apocalyptic world would be a truly serious offense.
Luo Jin thought for a moment and said, "Of course, these kinds of people are still publicly declared to be sentenced to death."
After all, conducting research on living people is never allowed under any circumstances.
But this is the apocalypse, and they must make more progress in order to survive in this world.
