Chapter 266 Annihilation
China was the first country in the world to experience a zombie outbreak, and also the first country in the world to eliminate all zombies within its borders.
Over the past eight years, zombies have slowly swept across the globe, leaving no country unscathed. Densely populated countries have been particularly hard hit, and all the survivors have moved into the base.
China was the first to end the apocalypse, while other countries were still suffering.
Gradually, more and more countries sought help from China.
Vaccines and antitoxins.
This is a significant achievement in Chinese scientific research, but it has not yet received official certification because many institutions ceased operation during the apocalypse.
The relevant departments are very strict in protecting vaccines and antiviral agents, but when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken. If other countries do not resolve the zombie outbreak, the total population of Earth will continue to decline, and the resulting series of ecological reactions and economic problems will inevitably prevent China from recovering quickly.
We should unite in the face of disaster.
Relevant departments arranged for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and an armed force to escort vaccine research and development departments and antitoxin research and development departments to Lanzhou for exchanges.
Lin Xi was also in the team this time.
The country of Lan, located across the ocean, was once a world-renowned power. Lin Xi had never been there before, and his first trip to Lan was as a scientist for an exchange program.
She has a pocket gun that she carries with her, which she has only used a few times, but it has been with her since 2025.
After the riots ended in China, people returned to the ground, and the authorities planned to conduct a "security check" on civilians and confiscate firearms and other firearms that had been left outside.
The project has just started and is not yet fully completed.
Lin Xi can even take it across the ocean.
The armed force accompanying them was led by Qian Zetao, an old acquaintance of Lin Xi. He appeared around the same time that Lin Xi obtained the gun. At that time, Qian Zetao was in charge of martial law at the Nanhua Research Institute. After the large-scale outbreak of zombies, he and the Nanhua Research Institute entered the Dawn Base together.
After a brief reminiscing, Qian Zetao mentioned, "That gun came from Captain Lu at the time, and the relevant department keeps a record of its issuance. After we return to China, this gun..."
It needs to be submitted.
Lin Xi did not resist.
However, the security checkpoint at the research institute at the destination, Landodi City, confiscated it.
Like the residents of the underground base in China, the people Lin Xi saw at the Dicheng base all had fair skin. However, the difference in race didn't seem so strange. Everyone lived with a numb expression, as if they had adapted to their fate of living underground for a long time.
However, when the Chinese research team came to exchange their research results, they showed a sudden burst of energy, with each of them welcoming the Chinese research team with shining eyes.
The hostile relationships that existed before the apocalypse now seem insignificant in the face of humanity's survival.
They exchanged information with great sincerity, and were even willing to showcase all their achievements in dealing with the zombie virus.
Then, led by the director of the Dicheng Research Institute, Lin Xi and others visited their research institute.
Lanzhou has advanced technology, but the reason why its vaccines have not been successful is that it cannot collect enough effective antibody samples and lacks raw materials, so it is impossible to synthesize effective multispecific antibodies.
The dean in charge of the vaccine project led Lin Xi into a secret laboratory.
The director explained in a foreign language: "The Dicheng Research Institute had an important sample, more special than any other unique zombie we had ever seen. We had pinned our hopes for vaccine research on it." She sighed, "But we still failed."
The dean entered a series of commands, and after two hatches opened, a huge experimental table appeared in front of Lin Xi.
The staff members, dressed in white protective suits, all wore masks and at first glance looked no different from Lin Xi's familiar colleagues.
In the center of the control panel is a huge glass tube with a cross-section of about one square meter, and a person wearing special metallic clothing is trapped inside.
This must be the special zombie sample.
Some people are born with the ability to produce antibodies due to genetic issues. For example, Lin Xi and Lin Jie can produce some antibodies on their own. Natural zombies that retain some consciousness and language abilities also have a small amount of natural antibodies in their bodies.
It's just unknown what state this peculiar zombie has reached.
Lin Xi looked up with slight curiosity and met that face.
She suddenly opened her eyes wide—
The zombie in the giant glass jar was not as frenzied as the other zombies, its limbs did not twitch as much, it had the ability to manage its facial expressions and express itself, and you could see some emotions in its eyes.
It looks exactly like Lu Wei, who had already begun to mutate in the later stages of half-infection.
However, Lanzhou does not have a vaccine, and the antibodies against the virus are innate.
Lin Xi was still reeling from the shock of that face.
The zombie outbreak is a global disaster. Lin Xi shared the vaccine research results, and the detoxification research group next door also shared them at the same time.
Soon, the world will end this disaster.
The Dicheng Research Institute exchanged some insights with Lin Xi. They could not match Lin Xi's achievements in vaccines, but there were other areas in pathogen science.
This should have been a good opportunity to study, but Lin Xi was unusually distracted and restless.
Before leaving the Dicheng Research Institute, Lin Xi asked for a tissue sample from a special zombie, claiming it was for antibody research.
The Dicheng Research Institute has already benefited greatly from this exchange, so naturally they would not refuse Lin Xi's request.
-
Upon returning to China, Lin Xi, without even adjusting to the time difference, rushed to the research institute. She didn't go to the laboratory, but instead went to the DNA analysis room.
She took the initiative to find Shen Hua and asked him to find some information to address her doubts.
When the data was finally obtained, the DNA comparison results of the unusual zombie also came out, and just like the data, it confirmed Lin Xi's guess.
After the zombie outbreak ended, Lin Xi was saddened, but this was the first time she had entered a state of anxiety.
Countless images and words flashed through my mind, including Lu Weixiangxin's last words before he died.
She was anxious and nervous, but not confused.
In this life, she successfully saved the world. Over eight years, she moved from the Nanhua Research Institute to the Dawn Base, and went to several other bases. She experienced confusion, glory, and escape.
Lu Wei, Xiang Xin, Liang Hui, Yang Yicheng, Feng Xue, Song Heng, Zhao Jing...
Countless people supported her in putting the hope of a vaccine into practice.
This journey has not been easy. Starting over would require not only her and Lin Jie's antibodies, but also the collection of antibody samples again, making the path fraught with difficulties...
Lin Xi was sad, but not lost.
There is another way!
People often say that everyone fantasizes about the road they haven't traveled being lined with flowers.
But Lin Xi knew that if she went through it again, the worst outcome would be the same as now.
"Knock knock." The knocking brought Lin Xi back to reality.
It's Qian Zetao.
He said to Lin Xi in a businesslike tone, "Dean Lin, we are here to collect firearms and other firearms."
Lin Xi had heard rumors when he went to Lan Guo, and now that he's back, it's time to put them into practice.
Lin Xi took the miniature pistol out of his pocket.
Just when Shen Hua and Qian Zetao thought Lin Xi would hand them the gun, they saw Lin Xi pointing the gun at them instead.
"Dean Lin!"
A human cannot outrun a bullet.
"Bang--"
Lin Xi fell backward uncontrollably. Although it was an instantaneous fall, Shen Hua and Qian Zetao in front of her seemed to freeze in her eyes for a moment.
The two men, still locked in a struggle for the gun, vanished instantly.
Then the entire universe began to collapse.
