Chapter 71 Hatching Little Zombies 13 The Little Dinosaur Egg Appears! ...
071 Hatching Little Zombie 13
Jin Lan started to tremble.
All kinds of eyes were cast at him, and his cheeks immediately turned red with shame after turning sickly pale.
"Don't talk nonsense—"
"I'm talking nonsense? Then can you immediately tell me the calculation data in the research process of the powder you have on hand, even just part of it?"
Jin Lan opened her mouth.
Dr. Li sneered: "Can't tell? Can't remember anything at all? You never thought that someone would ask you this question?"
He immediately reported a series of data, explaining the source and significance of these data clearly.
Everyone noticed that Jin Lan's face became even uglier. Apparently, every set of data reported by Dr. Li reminded him of the research materials.
His shaking became more violent, his breath became very short, and he opened his mouth several times to interrupt Dr. Li, but Dr. Li was determined to expose him to the end and did not give him any chance to interrupt.
"Why is his powder ineffective against the original strain? Because he used the original formula developed by our team!"
"There is an ingredient in that formula that was later replaced by us. The new version of the ingredient is difficult to extract, but it is truly effective in repelling all zombie viruses. The old version of the ingredient is easy to extract, but it is not only ineffective against the original strain, it may even be ineffective against ordinary zombie viruses!"
The crowd was shocked.
It might even be ineffective against ordinary zombies? Jin Lan never said this!
"And there's another dangerous aspect to the old version of the formula. We've observed that phenomenon through experiments - once more than 100 grams of this powder is used in a five-square-meter space, it may have the opposite effect on the zombies! It won't repel them, and it may even make them become manic and more aggressive!"
Everyone started talking in a whisper.
"No wonder they packaged the different powders separately..."
"Yeah, I thought they just wanted to mix and match it on the spot, so that they can control others..."
However, Jin Lan's expression was completely stunned, as if he didn't know about this matter.
Dr. Li sneered, "Of course you didn't know. This dangerous research was placed in another document. You thought it was not important at the time, so you didn't copy it! And then you didn't test it at all before giving it to others to use, right?"
Zhao Lushan was shocked: "When we interrogated them two days ago, they also said that they planned to send the finished product of this powder to various major bases, 10 kilograms per base, and let the major bases arrange drones to spread it everywhere..."
He secretly thought at the time that although these people were insidious, they generally wanted to help mankind get out of the apocalypse.
Dr. Li sneered: "If he told them the formula and let them mix and spread it themselves, that would be fine, but if he directly handed the finished product to the major bases, the zombies would attack them before the drones were even launched!"
After all, it is impossible to package these ten kilograms of powder into boxes of 99 grams and then place each box separately. They will inevitably be put together and exposed to the air together when used, which is undoubtedly an ignition agent for zombies.
Of course, if they were placed in a special device that could ensure that they could be scattered without being exposed to the air, that would be fine. But the problem is that Jin Lan and the others themselves don't know that these powders have such problems, so how would those bases know?
Xu Lin's face changed: "When our people were spreading the powder outside the base just now, the two teams each carried 1 kilogram!"
Dr. Li: "If you spread it quickly, the zombies may not be able to react. But if you move a little slower, things will be troublesome."
As everyone listened, their eyes towards Jin Lan changed from shock to hatred.
Everyone knows that if they had not been imprisoned and interrogated, the Wise Group would never have told anyone the prescription ratio.
If they don't hold all the most critical information firmly in their hands, how can they get the major bases to entertain them grandly, provide them with food, clothing, shelter, and treat them as superior to others?
But before that, although everyone was disgusted by the actions of the Wise Group and was wary of the threats they posed, they also recognized that these people were precious human resources in the end times and their brains were rare treasures.
These people are smarter than them, so their lives are naturally more precious than theirs - they all admit this!
They even felt that it would be a pity if He Lin really wanted to kill these people!
However, these so-called "wealths" are actually false and are all bubbles!
Their research results were stolen, and they were even smart enough to discard the finished products of others' research and exaggerate the defective and inferior products into something perfect!
It is true that inferior products are convenient for mass production, but at least the dangers should be made clear to others and told!
What if someone loses their life because of trusting them? Don’t they consider this?
However, when they saw Jin Lan's face, they realized that such people would certainly not consider things so carefully, because the lives of ordinary people were not important to them at all.
These people are even capable of commanding a tidal wave of zombies to attack others. Where is their conscience and humanity!
Compared to this, they are more afraid of their true identities being exposed to everyone!
Jin Lan was on the verge of collapse, and was so weak that he couldn't utter a word in rebuttal. In front of Dr. Li, all his pride and dignity were shattered.
He was stripped of his gorgeous outer garment, and what was inside seemed to frighten even himself.
Lu Jiu listened for a long time and asked He Lin in a low voice: "How was the interrogation in the past two days? Did you find out their background?"
He Lin lowered his eyes to look at him: "They won't tell all their research results."
Lu Jiu pondered.
Yes, in order to save their lives, the Wise Group will definitely hide some of their research results.
He Ying leaned over and said, "But to be honest, I don't believe they can research anything on their own. I didn't want to cooperate with them at first because I heard about Jin Lan's past. His reputation as a genius was all given by his father. He himself has no ability at all! The other people in the Wise Group can make him their leader, so you can imagine how stupid they are!"
Lu Jiu said: "Brother He, they artificially edited a new mutant strain that can control zombies. The wave of zombies we encountered a year ago might have come from this."
He Ying: "They stole this technology from other teams in Lao Li's laboratory. They stole and deleted all their good research data! And they were not researching things like this, but how to eliminate the aggressiveness of zombies by infecting them with artificially edited mutants. Jin Lan must have come up with this weird thing based on their research!"
"It's not that I look down on them, but their scientific research ability is really poor, and they don't put their minds into research at all! I don't believe they can develop anything new on their own."
Lu Jiu fell into deep thought.
He turned his head and looked at He Lin.
He Lin asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Lu Jiu analyzed: "If the most important research of these people is obtained by stealing other people's research results, given their character, I am afraid that few people can remember all the experimental information and data in their heads like Dr. Li. They must have a computer to save the information. Have you searched out all the electronic products in their cars? Have you checked the contents?"
"I checked it," He Lin seemed to know what Lu Jiu was thinking, "There are indeed more than ten research results stored in it."
Lu Jiu raised an eyebrow: "But?"
He Lin chuckled and raised his hand to rub his head: "But they know we have obtained all their electronic products, but they are still fearless."
This seems to mean that they must have other research materials stored somewhere else.
However, given the Wise Group's cunning style, they would definitely not hand over those research materials to other bases. They must keep them in their own hands.
In other words—
"They still have people outside."
He Lin said so.
As soon as this sentence came out, Xu Lin, who had been listening to their conversation, frowned: "When they first came, I asked them if everyone was there, and Jin Lan said yes!"
He Ying: "This guy never tells the truth! Brother, you may have asked casually at the time, but this guy is very cunning. How could he send everyone in without reaching an agreement with you?"
Lu Jiu raised his eyebrows and looked at He Lin: "So you have thought of this a long time ago?"
He Lin said casually: "I also need He Ying and Dr. Li to help me verify this."
Lu Jiu's expression became serious.
——There are still people from the Wise Group waiting for news outside, and they still have some important information in the other party’s hands!
They have to lure the other party out and get that part of the information before they can confirm whether the Wise Group has other weird transformation technologies.
In that case...
They turned their attention to Jin Lan.

Jin Lan was in a daze. When he saw someone coming over and looking like he was going to take him back to prison, he stepped back again and again, shouting in fear: "Don't come over! I don't want to go back! Don't touch me!"
Xu Lin shouted, "You don't think we'll let you go? Let you take revenge on us with the technology you stole from others?"
Jin Lan was caught, struggling and screaming: "I promise I won't retaliate against you! I swear! After I leave here, I will stay away from you!"
"Who will believe what you say?"
"Please, I really don't want to go back. That place is not a place for people to live. There's not even a bed!"
"That's a prison. Do you think it's a hotel?"
"Let me go! Let me go!"
He Lin stopped his subordinates' actions with one sentence: "If he wants to stay, let him stay here."
Jin Lan was suddenly released, looking a little bewildered - He Lin was so easy to talk to?
Five minutes later, he was tied to a shed, his face turning livid.
A rope was tied in the middle of his handcuffs, and the other end was tangled in the branches of a tree in the corner of the shed, out of his reach.
The shed was filled with a foul stench and was surrounded by a fence with a row of feeding troughs next to the fence. It was clearly a place where pigs were raised before.
The ladies and uncles looked at him from afar, pointing and talking.
"Oh, it's such a waste of space to be locked up here."
"That's right, where should we raise the piglets that were born a few days ago?"
"Xiao He said there is a new place for them to live..."
Ten minutes later, Jin Lan saw her "little friends" being led over from a distance. They walked very actively and shouted, "Why is Jin Lan the only one who can go out? We want to go out too!"
"That's right, we want to live outside too!"
"Don't worry, we won't regret it!"
The base member who led them out said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, this will allow your family to be reunited."
When this group of people were kicked into the shed and also tied to the tree, they were stunned.
"Why is it a place like this?!"
“Is this a place where people can live?!”
"Hey, stop right there. Are you doing this to us?!"
The people at the base turned around and asked, "So do you want to go back to prison? Prison or here, choose one!"
The Wise Group was angry: "We want a place where people can live! We want a clean place!"
"Hey, what's the matter? You still want to live in our house? Oh, you sent a wave of zombies to attack the ruins area, and teamed up with Zheng Yu to plot against our boss. We are going to worship you, right? Do you want to bury your faces in the ground to wake up your brains? Can you really do research with this pig brain? Okay, you are not satisfied, right? Come, I will take you back to prison, and don't even think about getting out again!"
Jin Lan gritted her teeth and whispered to her companions behind her: "Goodbye! This is it, don't go back!"
The Wise Group members reacted and immediately retreated together, shouting in a timid tone: "Get lost, we are not going back! We are here!"
The people in the base sneered, closed the gate, turned and left, as if they were too lazy to pay any more attention to them.
When they were the only ones left here, they immediately gathered together.
"Jin Lan, what should we do next?"
Jin Lan calmed down and said, "Don't think they will let us go. We can only wait for Lao Yu to realize that we are in trouble and come to rescue us."
Everyone looked at each other.
"But Lao Yu has always been slow to react. When will he realize that something is wrong with us?"
"How many days has it been now?"
"Three days!"
"The old man didn't think that our discussion went smoothly and he decided to stay here, did he?"
"If we really stayed here, we would have informed him. He should have realized something was wrong three days ago!"
"You know him well. He's always drunk. We shouldn't have let him out this time!"
"Who knew He Lin would be so cruel..."
"But if we delay any longer, will we be exposed?"
With just one sentence, the entire shed became eerily quiet.
In the darkness, more than a dozen people were staring at each other. If someone was watching this scene, they would definitely get goose bumps all over their body due to this suddenly weird and mysterious atmosphere.
Jin Lan moved her lips and whispered, "It shouldn't be that fast. We can hold on for at least another month. After a month, the mutant virus will cause our bodies to rot..."
"Now, the leader of the adventurer team and He Ying are here," Jin Lan said in a low voice, "We will definitely be able to get the primary antidote... to save ourselves!"
*
On the other side, the net was set up, and everyone temporarily put the Wise Group behind their minds.
He Ying, Jiang Wen and Dr. Li were taken to their residence. After putting down their luggage, the three of them hurried to where He Lin and Lu Jiu lived.
In fact - the phrase "where they lived together" made He Ying a little unhappy.
He grumbled, "Is there no other room in Base No. 1? Do you two have to live together? Jiujiu, at most you can just come and live with me!"
Jiang Wen laughed at him: "Come on, it's been a few days, and you still haven't digested this?"
After a few days of phone calls, they could already clearly see that Lu Jiu and He Lin had a special relationship.
Lu Jiu laughed and used his zombie state to attract the attention of the three people.
He switched back and forth between human form and zombie state, and his smooth transformation stunned the three people.
Especially Dr. Li, he was amazed.
He circled around Lu Jiu and asked curiously:
"Didn't you lose a piece of flesh or something when you were in zombie form? If you lost flesh, would you still look the same when you turned back into a human?"
Lu Jiu said: "Anyway, I haven't lost a piece of meat since I woke up."
He glanced at He Lin standing beside him: "...if some meat really falls off, quickly pick it up and put it back on your body. Change back into human form once, and this piece of meat can be fixed back to my body..."
He Lin smiled.
Dr. Li exclaimed: "So amazing! How long can you maintain your human form?"
"It was two hours at first..."
Dr. Li was curious: "What about now?"
Lu Jiu's tone became a little embarrassed: "It's three hours now."
He Ying asked in confusion: "How did the time get extended?"
“…”
"?" He Ying, "Is this question difficult to answer? Jiujiu, don't worry, we are all family here, what's so hard to talk about? And we also need to understand your transformation mechanism, so that we can know how to fix you in human form."
Dr. Li: "That's right, just treat me and Lao He as doctors. Patients don't need to be cautious in front of doctors."
Lu Jiu still hesitated, looking like he didn't know how to start.
"It's sexual."
A deep voice interrupted.
The two men's brains were stuck.
What the hell?
They looked in the direction of the sound in confusion - He Lin was leaning against the wall with his arms folded, leisurely.
...What did this guy just say? ?
Lu Jiu coughed.
He Lin said in a calm and gentle tone: "I did it with him once, and his human form was extended to 3 hours, and the CD time was shortened to 1 hour. After that, we haven't verified it again yet...ah, that's not right."
The man smiled and looked at Lu Jiu.
This smile made it impossible to tell whether he had really just remembered something or not.
"——Now it's time to do a second verification, right?"
Lu Jiu: “…………”
Thank you for the reminder.
Dr. Li and Jiang Wen still looked confused; their brains were unable to process such a huge amount of information.
He Ying slowly narrowed his eyes.
He looked at He Lin, then at Lu Jiu.
Lu Jiu quickly said, "Brother, calm down!"
"you--"
"I did it voluntarily, not forced!"
"he--"
"He and I are not just friends with benefits, we are serious!"
"What did you just do—"
"It's not 'just now'. 'Just now' was just a few minutes ago. It was just a response to what happened between you two!"
He Ying twitched and fell backwards. Jiang Wen held him up, his forehead covered with sweat: "Stop! Xiao Lu, let your brother take it easy first!"
Lu Jiu opened his mouth, then closed it awkwardly.
I just said it out loud and blurted out everything.
But he really hadn't figured out how to explain these things. Telling them all might irritate his brother He...
At this moment, a slight "dong" sound came from behind the door connecting to the second bedroom.
It felt like something had hit the door.
Lu Jiu's eyelids twitched.
Dr. Li asked sharply, "Is there anyone in there?"
"..." Lu Jiu, "Not a human."
Dr. Li: "Not a human? Then do you have a pet in there?"
“…………” Lu Jiu, “Not a pet.”
Dr. Li: “???”
It's not a person or a pet, but from the tone of voice, it seems like there is something inside. Is it a ghost? ?
From inside the second bedroom door, as if the thing heard their conversation, it banged on the door twice, as if it knew that guests were coming and was excited, but also as if it was dissatisfied with being called a "pet."
Lu Jiu rubbed the corners of his eyes.
...Brother He is like this now, can he continue talking tonight?
"Very difficult?"
He opened his eyes, turned his gaze and looked to the side.
He Lin looked at him jokingly, his arms folded in a very loose manner.
Lu Jiu said in a rather bad tone: "You must be enjoying the show!"
"What an exaggeration," the man raised his eyebrows. "After all, your brother is almost 40 years old. He has seen all kinds of strange things in the laboratory. Are you underestimating his ability to bear it?"
The three people who were listening on the side: "???"
Dr. Li: "What's in that room?!"
He is so curious!
He Ying supported Jiang Wen's hand and stood up tremblingly. He glared at He Lin fiercely and said loudly: "Jiujiu, tell me! I can hold on, you tell me!"
The words fell with a click.
The door to the second bedroom opened by itself.
Lu Jiu: “…………”
Damn, I forgot that guy can open the door by himself!!
There was a crack in the door.
Jiang Wen, He Ying, and Dr. Li were startled, holding their breath and looking over vigilantly.
The light was dim through the crack in the door, and they had a vaguely creepy feeling, as if there was some mysterious creature hiding in the darkness.
What will it be?
A three-headed lion? An octopus with tentacles? An eagle or vulture with sharp teeth in its beak?
Having seen all kinds of mutants, every imagination in their minds at this moment made their hair stand on end. They even wondered why Lu Jiu and He Lin kept such strange creatures in such a close place.
Until the sounds of "bang", "squeak" and "gurgle" were heard one after another...
A colorful egg pushed the door open and rolled out slowly.
