The protagonist chased the villain, and Tiandao screamed in anger

"This is ridiculous! Do you know how dangerous this is? You just transported it here without reporting it? Where do you want our compatriots in the base to be?"

"If something unexpected happens during the process, who will be held responsible? Who can bear the responsibility? Do you still have me as the dean in your eyes if you act first and ask for permission later?"

In the large conference room, the dean stood in front of the long table, pacing back and forth, scolding everyone present with a gloomy face.

"President Feng, calm down, this isn't..."

Li Shen, who had just returned from a journey exhausted, raised his hand to comfort Du Yansheng beside him, trying to ease the atmosphere in the room, but was directly rebuked by Dean Feng.

"Shut up, Li Shen. I think you are getting more and more ignorant of the seriousness of the matter! Who allowed you to bring zombies back without permission? This is our base! It's not your home!"

"Dean, my home is also in the base..." Pinching his nose, Li Shen tried to refute, but was then silenced by Du Yansheng.

"You are all in your twenties and thirties, and you still think you are just playing house! You pick up everything and bring it home?" Dean Feng was really irritated to death by Li Shen's attitude of acting first and reporting later.

Most of the crested ibis experimental subjects knew their weaknesses, and some zombies transported back as specimens had no signs of life. At worst, even if they were alive, they were low-level zombies used for research.

But this time, what did this unlucky kid Li Shen bring back?

A living intelligent being!

In their previous fights against zombies, they had already witnessed how powerful intelligent zombies were. Some of them were even smarter than most ordinary people!

Do you dare to bring this thing back casually?

What's more, they sent it back without saying a word. If something happened, what would Feng Jicai use to compensate? Even his life would not be enough!

The most hateful thing is that he was the last one to know the news.

"Old Feng, calm down. Everything is fine now, right? Don't be so angry." General Qi, who was sitting opposite him, held a thermos cup, drank tea, and tried to persuade him kindly.

His words were like detonating explosives, and Dean Feng's anger rose again: "And you, Lao Qi, you were so busy scolding them that you forgot about you! You opened the gate of the base, right? Did you follow them in making trouble? When did you join the conservatives?"

Dean Feng, who was not very tall, had an imposing manner that reached 1.80 meters. He almost jumped up and headbutted General Qi.

"Dean, Li Shen didn't submit a report in advance because he couldn't wait for instructions on the dosage of anesthetics. The research value of intelligent zombies is very high." Du Yansheng tried to explain something to the subject.

"You should shut up too. I want to be quiet." After venting some of his anger, Dean Feng sat down, rubbing his temples with his palms to comfort himself.

He knew that this kind of zombie was hard to come by, but at the same time, the danger could not be ignored. If Li Shen applied to him, he would definitely refuse.

This was also the reason why this group of people kept it from him. Fortunately, there were no obstacles along the way.

After learning about this, he contacted the base commander immediately, but until now, there has been no response from the communication end.

"How did you conservatives learn to behave like radicals? Now that things have come to this, the best thing is that nothing goes wrong. Punishment is inevitable. What are you going to do about this zombie issue?"

"The price has been paid, and I need to see results."

After calming down, Dean Feng cleared his throat which had been dry from yelling in excitement and began to ask questions in a businesslike manner.

The institute was previously carrying out many projects, each of which required the consumption of resources and equipment.

But the institute does not have everything, and materials are still in short supply. Resources must be allocated rationally, and new projects also need to be evaluated by him before decisions can be made.

"I personally prefer a comprehensive study on whether 050's brain is not eroded by the virus, or is able to self-repair and evolve after being eroded." The first thing the zombie virus devours is human sanity. If they find a way to maintain their sanity, then from the perspective of human thinking, can they reduce the existence of zombies?

"Or, if this rationality is produced after the zombies evolve, and represents the highest standard of zombie evolution, does it mean that zombies can eventually or possibly... become 'human' again?"

Dozens of related ideas came to his mind, and Du Yansheng's thinking was completely opened up.

"You are diligent in assigning numbers. Let's not talk about the problem of zombies eating people. As for your project, I need to know what favorable factors the final success of the project can create for the base."

Interrupting Du Yansheng's increasingly immersed thoughts, Dean Feng just wanted to get an ideal result.

"Viruses, we can have a deeper understanding of the virus. So far, vaccine research has not achieved a qualitative leap. 050 represents a higher level of zombies, and the virus on them should be the most active. We need a zombie like this to gain a comprehensive understanding of the virus."

"But I remember that you have a total of five projects on hand. Can you take care of them?" Dean Feng nodded after finally hearing something useful, picked up the tablet beside him to take notes, and looked up to ask Du Yansheng.

Du Yansheng had a lot of backlogs on his hands, so he had naturally considered these things. Dean Feng happened to ask about this, so he said directly at the meeting: "Speaking of this, I would like to ask Dr. You for help."

"Regarding 049, I have not made any progress yet. 049 is currently in the second metamorphosis period and needs to rest. It is obviously not suitable to be placed with 050. I would like to ask Dr. You to take care of it for a while, at least to allow 049 to evolve smoothly."

After all, the camps are different, and the final results must be separated. Du Yansheng did not give 049 full authority to You Mu to take care of it, but only said that it was a temporary replacement, so that the conservatives would not have too many objections.

Dean Feng was quite surprised to hear that Du Yansheng asked You Mu for help. As far as he could remember, Dr. Du seemed unhappy on the day Dr. You first came.

He thought the two of them would have nothing to talk about.

"What do you think, Dr. You?" Dean Feng turned his head to ask You Mu, who seemed to be in a trance since he came here, and sought his opinion.

"Sure, there are still a lot of empty spaces on the fifth floor." You Mu nodded, twirling the ballpoint pen on his fingertips.

"Thank you. One more thing. 049 may have some aggressiveness and camouflage abilities. I will provide Dr. You with some protective equipment for the shelter. Dr. You, please be careful. I will ask Xiaolin to deliver a copy of 049's research document tonight."

049 has been settled, and a new project is about to start. Du Yansheng is in a good mood. Thinking of 049's data and anomalies, he emphasized his reminder.

"Okay, let's adjourn the meeting. You guys created a mess and I still have to clean it up!" Dean Feng looked down at the message from the base, waved his hand, and dismissed several members.

Finally, he couldn't help but point at Li Shen's nose and glare at him.

Li Shen smiled and made a gesture of begging for mercy, pulling Du Yansheng out of the room. When General Qi was about to sneak away with the thermos cup in his hand, he was stopped by Dean Feng who answered the call with a fake smile:

"Lao Qi, where do you want to run away?"

The other party agreed to this matter, so why should he be left alone to face the accountability of the base commander? He must be left behind!
