The most ruthless person in the apocalypse

Chapter 358 The Key to the Mutation

Snapped!

Fu Weijun snapped his fingers and said excitedly, "That's right, Dr. Xie and I both think so. It is precisely because of this effect of the zombie transformation fluid that the zombie robots run wild in the human body, which further leads to various alien transformations!"

"That... is not the case. Even if the zombie transformation fluid can kill zombie robots, the Qinglong Corps has conducted many experiments. Is there any case of successfully blocking the transformation of zombies?"

Zhang Su looked at Xie Yanshan.

"As far as I know, no."

Xie Yanshan shook his head regretfully, and then he added: "But I suspected this before, but I didn't have solid evidence. Combined with the fact that Li Zhaohua injected himself with several doses of zombie transformation fluid, he should know more than me, so he dared to do that. His purpose was to gain power while preserving his mind. Unfortunately, he still failed in the end..."

"He is too reckless. The dosage concentration is obviously not enough but he tries to supplement it with quantity. It won't work!"

Fu Weijun shook his head and looked towards the balcony. Just across the door was Li Zhaohua's body.

Zhang Su was shocked when he heard this, and the image of Li Zhaohua's madness emerged in his mind. Others might not know this, but he knew very well that Li Zhaohua did not die during the time when he gained power, and he even retained some of the thinking of a human being. If he had not been surrounded and shot by a group of people in the end, and then hit by two grenades, it would be hard to say whether he would have failed!

In any case, this discovery is still amazing. It is the only method he knows of that can possibly prevent corpse transformation besides cutting off the bitten part, but there has been no completely successful case.

"This kind of conclusion, based on speculation and inference, is probably not very convincing."

Zhang Su frowned.

Fu Weijun and Xie Yanshan looked at each other and quickly followed Zhang Su's words and said, "That's right. No matter how well-founded our inference is, it is still a guess. If we can conduct one or more experiments, we will definitely get a lot of real data. With the support of data, we can draw more rigorous conclusions!"

"Test? How to test? On whom to test..."

Zhang Su pinched his temples and felt a headache. He suddenly asked, "Didn't we approve you to use chickens and ducks and other animals for experiments? No?"

"I've tried it. The zombie robots have no interest in lower animals... After the activated zombie robots are injected into the body, they are like returning to dormancy. There is no movement."

Speaking of this, Fu Weijun shook his head somewhat frustratedly.

"You've tried it with chickens and ducks? Well... Hey, those chickens and ducks won't..."

"Brother Zhang, don't worry. The chickens and ducks used in the experiment have been treated harmlessly. I did it myself. I didn't even want to eat a single bite until they were burned to charcoal."

Seeing that Zhang Su was very nervous, Duan Wuhu quickly explained that he was in charge of all the work and would not be careless at all.

"Okay, Old Duan, you have to be more careful. We are on Tianma Island. Don't turn us into a protective umbrella. That would be ridiculous!"

"So this is where the problem lies. We can't find any subjects for the experiment, unless... one of our companions is unfortunately bitten by a zombie and volunteers to participate in the experiment."

Fu Weijun said calmly. A life seemed insignificant to him, including his own. If this experiment might not be a one-way trip, he might have already tried it himself, just like Li Zhaohua did.

"Alas..." Xie Yanshan sighed, shook his hands, and said, "There are quite a few test records in the Edge Team, but unfortunately they have been destroyed. I can only remember very little, and I didn't pay much attention to it at the time. Now that I think about it, those records are really precious."

"Yes!" Zhang Su suddenly had an idea and looked at Xie Yanshan, saying, "Doctor Xie, you should know how the zombie transformation fluid is made and what raw materials are used, right?"

"I know, but..."

Xie Yanshan glanced around awkwardly and said, "Under the current conditions, I'm afraid it's impossible to make the transformation fluid. Many substances require complicated processing. I'm really sorry."

Hardware conditions have always been Tianma Island’s Achilles’ heel. Although it now has two high-energy brains, there has been no progress in experimental equipment. Even the most basic shaking and centrifugal separation cannot be fully automated, not to mention further needs, which seriously restricts the development of scientific research.

Zhang Su let out a long sigh and paced back and forth in the room.

Fu Weijun and the others could see that Zhang Su was thinking about something, so they did not interrupt him and waited quietly by the side.

"Dr. Fu." After a moment, Zhang Su stopped and looked at Fu Weijun, saying, "If I move the things in your laboratory here, will it help with the research?"

Fu Weijun's eyes lit up when he heard Zhang Su's words. He wanted to stand up and patted the wheelchair armrests. He nodded and said, "Of course! But those devices require a lot of electricity. With the current power supply situation in the camp... it can't handle it."

Tianma Island's electricity mainly comes from photovoltaic panels. The largest electricity consumption items are monitoring equipment and control units. In daily life, it is just charging various devices and basic lighting. The energy consumption is not large.

But if it is high-tech experimental equipment, the power consumption will be at a completely different level!

"Electricity?" Zhang Su turned to look at Duan Wuhu and said, "Old Duan, how is the zombie power generation project you are in charge of going?"

“There is some hope!”

When Duan Wuhu was asked about the project he was in charge of, he straightened his back and said, "The design has been completed. We are currently only lacking some less rare parts. It's only a matter of time to find them all. If it's fast, it will take three or four days. If it's slow... a week, we can arrange for the zombies to be deployed!"

"As long as we complete this process from scratch, we won't have to worry about it in the future. Brother Zhang, according to the current development trend, if the population continues to increase, we can find a way to get a small thermal power generator set back!"

"Brother Duan, we are discussing the experimental equipment. Can we talk about the generator set later?"

It was enough for Fu Weijun to know that the zombie generator was about to take shape. He was not in a hurry to think about the generator set. He was more concerned about his experimental equipment and decisively intervened in the conversation between Duan Wuhu and Zhang Su.

"and many more……"

Zhang Su was very interested in the topic Duan Wuhu mentioned. He made a waiting gesture to Fu Weijun and asked Duan Wuhu, "Old Duan, do you know anything about this? It's not easy to find a thermal power generator. How big a place is needed? Do you know?"

"I'm sorry..." Duan Wuhu gave an apologetic smile to the anxious Fu Weijun, and then said to Zhang Su: "When I was chatting with Master Jia before, he told me that there are two thermal power plants around Qincheng City. He has a friend who works at the Chengdong Thermal Power Plant and talked about it. You can ask Master Jia for the details."

From the perspective of the camp leader, the importance of electricity is no less than that of doing experiments. Zhang Su nodded, remembered the news, and then looked at Fu Weijun: "Dr. Fu, draw a rough route map and write down the details you want to explain. As for when to set off, don't worry, you need to find an opportunity!"

To get to the Beihe District from here, you have to walk along the sea. If the road is unobstructed, one day will be enough for the round trip. But now it will definitely not be smooth sailing. Even if there is no zombie crisis, you will inevitably run into people from other survivors' camps along the way. It is best to pave the road in advance, otherwise a collision will definitely occur!

"Yes, yes, I know that. I'll find the map in a moment and give it to you during dinner. Sorry for the trouble."

Although he said he knew, everyone could see that Fu Weijun was very anxious, and it was written on his face.

"You must keep the matter of the zombie transformation fluid a secret. Just pretend you know nothing about it. Got it?"

Zhang Su warned them in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhang. Have you seen any news spread from us before?"

Fu Weijun nodded confidently. He didn't dare to say anything else, but he did a very good job of keeping his mouth shut!

Zhang Su couldn't completely control whether the news would be leaked, but he still had to give some warnings. After he finished speaking and was about to leave, he suddenly remembered something and turned around to say.

"By the way, today I talked to Xiao Chen about mutant zombies. From your professional perspective, is it possible to artificially breed mutant zombies?"

We don’t know what the situation is outside now, and whether there are any existences more terrifying than the Venom zombies. All we can do is strengthen ourselves.

After hearing what Zhang Su said, Fu Weijun looked at Xie Yanshan and continued, "Mr. Zhang, to be honest, I have discussed this issue with Dr. Xie and I, and I feel that the possibility of successful artificial breeding is very small, because the mutation of zombies is related to precipitation!"

"precipitation?"

Zhang Su was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Are you saying that the previous rain and snow were the key to the zombie mutation?"
